Question: I (as my wife says) need to get my ducks in a roll, as my work shop goes....I need to get all my nails,screws and tools together....I have been looking at Lowes and Home Depot at some of their cabinets...they run at least $120.00 and can be put together in a day....I have been thinking of making my own...I know it will probably cost a little more in the long run and take more time...its just that I have been out of the wood working sport for awhile and I'm not too sure how I would do...at least it would be a great excuse to buy some new tools....if you have any ideas, send them this way......hammer and a band-aid will travel.........
Answer: Hi Gary, I sure would try to get you to spend some money in this situation. A nice tools box with a bunch of compartments and areas for tools would be the way to go. Home made tool boxes rarely last very long.

Question: Love the helpful discussions with your show. I would like the locations that I can fine the "spray & forget" for house siding stains. I heard you talking about it a couple of weeks ago. I have looked in the Brockport area but have not come up with it yet. Can you help?
Thanks in advance, Jane

Question: On last Sunday program you discussed moss on roofs. You said several products are available to get rid of the moss. Do you have several brands that you may recommend and where are they sold? You also mentioned that Dawn dish detergent may be used. Were you kidding? If not, what would be the concentration of detergent to water?
Answer: Hi George, The Dawn thing was for paver walkways, not roofs. Try Spray and Forget for roofs.

Question: We are on a well with hard, sulphur water. We use a softner system as well as a chlorinater/filter to remove the sulphur. We are replacing old galvanized plumbing pipes and wonder if you have any recommendations about PEX tubing? The home center guys tell us it's what we need for hot water pipes; but since it looks like the fittings go inside the pipes, we're worried about hard-water buildup restricting the flow. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Answer: Hi Tom, Pex is the way to go, no build-up worries in your lifetime!

Question: JIM:
Having heard your serenades on Saturday mornings during playings of "Wanna Go Home With The Armadillo" (it's actually called "London Homesick Blues", isn't it?), I have become convinced that your voice goes unbilled on another WHAM-1180 commercial - the jingle for Patriot Construction. Is it you singing in that ad?
I just love the Home Repair Clinic and all of the mayhem that occurs there every Saturday morning. The most recent show's "high point" had to be around 08:00 when The Mighty Home Repair Art Players were supposed to be doing an Indoor Air spot, but you turned it into an impromptu Home Power Systems spot. John, of course, helpfully tossed in something about that being the place to get your tiles. Priceless. You "stayed the course", however, and finished the HPS ad, complete with the right phone number.
I just wish that these Rochester businesses could be used by your northern neighbours.
From a fan across the lake.
Answer: Hi David, Thanks a million for listening !
Jim and Co.
