July 4 is Around the Corner — But It’s OK, We’re in the El Niño Pocket!

The key tenet of what makes a house a home is design — it matters most!  Today’s first caller has a hardwood floor that she apparently needs to oil every year. But she wants to know if there’s a product she can use so she doesn’t have to do that task annually.   Next up, our caller wants to seismically retrofit his 1325-square-foot home that was built in 1954 by bolting the foundation to the house — but he’s been quoted nearly $80K!  Lastly this hour, does Dean believe a ’70s-built home requires a home warranty plan? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
