Cement flooring got you in a puddle? How do you fill in those pools created on the uneven flooring and level it all out? Does true, ultimate flatness even exist, or do you need a slight slant? 

When it comes to your whole-house water system, is there one that also includes a water softener? 

Our next caller has an issue with the appearance of her repaved driveway. One half looks good, but the other half looks blotchy, like it’s still drying. The contractor doesn’t think it’s a problem, but the caller isn’t so sure. 

Today’s final caller needs to replace the flooring in her basement. They’re stick-on laminate tiles that date to the early 1970s. Can new tiles be placed over the old ones or does the original flooring need to be ripped out entirely?
