Can Brian succinctly answer 10 unrelated questions in a single episode?
Listen to the podcast to find out!
In this episode, Paul pulls 10 questions from our listeners and forums around the Internet. It is Brian’s job to provide brilliant answers in the space of one episode. Some of these questions are from the Yahoo Answers site which features lots of Q&A forums. These are questions that Brian has answered previously, but now Brian must regurgitate these answers again “live” on the podcast. Paul will not allow any stalling.
Perhaps some of these questions pertain to issues you have around the house.
Here our the 10 Questions for Handyguy Brian. Listen to the Podcast for the answers.
Q1 Steve has a problem with a corner kitchen cabinet where the supply water lines leaked. It ruined the bottom/floor of the cabinet and caused the particle board to swell up making an uneven surface. The bottles of dishwasher soap keep falling over. What is the solution?
Listen to the podcast for some solutions!
Q2 What to do about household smells? Matt asks the Handyguys about a strange smell that awakes him 2-3 times per year at around 2AM. It smells like burning rubber. Matt checked all the appliances and can’t figure out where the smell is coming from. The smell eventually dissipates on its own. How can Matt determine the cause of this smell?
Any suggestions from our listeners? Listen to the show for some ideas.

Good Show!
Thanks for mentioning your response to my email question about the sink cabinet floor. I was looking through the “big orange box” the other day and rediscovered FRP panels. I’m considering using one of these since it is thin and quit flexible. I might be able to bow it enough to get it into place and then just screw it down to the existing particle board. It has that nice hard, glossy finish on it too, which will repel water and make it easy to clean.
Thanks again!
