About this episode
Your smart home might be making your life easier, but it could also be making you an easy target. A cybersecurity expert explains the most common mistakes people make with connected devices and the simple fixes that can protect your home. Then, comedian Alonzo Bodden takes us inside the Los Angeles hill house he dreamed about for decades after years on the road. Plus, if your hydrangeas aren’t blooming, it might come down to when and how you’re pruning. We break down how to identify your plants and get them thriving again.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
* How to safely install a corner shelf in a tiled shower without damaging the tile
* What to do when a ceiling fan loses power after an electrical mishap involving a backup generator
* How to fix squeaky, uneven second-floor floors without removing newly installed carpet
