On this Week's Podcast: Adding Crown Molding Around Registers

When it comes to interior design, it’s all in the details. That’s why so many homeowners install crown molding as an elegant transition between the ceiling and the wall. 

A listener wants to do this in his home, but there’s just one problem: a wall-mounted register for his heating and cooling system is in the way.

Also in this week’s podcast:

• Foundation problems are always scary. A homeowner is concerned that a basement beam is pushing a block out, damaging the home’s exterior.

• Chelsea Lipford Wolf talks about her custom-built shoe rack that you can piece together in your closet. 

 Do you have noisy neighbors? We talk about special drywall that retrofits over your wall, adding some sound dampening.

• Find out what a dishwasher, Scotchgard, and Kevlar have in common.

• Joe has a Simple Solution that will keep your putty knife clean after every use.
