Dean guides listeners through the process of making a plain rental feel like your own home without angering your landlord or breaking the bank. Dean offers suggestions to get around the limitations that often come with rentals, reviews how simple changes to things like window treatments, lighting, switch plates, and drawer pulls and knobs can make a big difference in the personality of a space and make it feel like home. One listener tells Dean that he inspired him to renovate a Sears & Roebuck 1930's mail order cabin in the local Southern California mountains and wonders what he should do about the cabin's original single pane aluminum windows. Other listeners ask Dean's advice about rain gutters, whether they should be metal or vinyl, and how to deal with local officials regarding county codes when it comes to fixing a hole in a roof.
