Speaker A:
In the first hour, Eric gives you his secret tips for the greenest lawn in the neighborhood without using too much water or fertilizer.
Speaker B:
You know, coming into the winter, since I had a lawn that didn't have the best care for decades before it, it was not in the best shape.
Speaker B:
But the cool thing here was that I really liked is it really busted up the thatch.
Speaker B:
I had some thatch in there and it really broke it down over the winter and that was using their stuff right there.
Speaker B:
So it really dialed things in and made it look really good.
Speaker B:
So it's going to be a healthier lawn for me.
Speaker B:
So just going through a process like that where it's mindless, they send you a box, you'll look at it a subscription based and it is way cheaper than the lawn care companies out there that'll come by and spray who knows what across your lawn.
Speaker B:
So check those guys out at Lawn Bright.
Speaker B:
They've really been my secret to getting my lawn.
Speaker A:
Coming up in this week's second hour of the show, Springtime is all about refinishing.
Speaker A:
So Eric discusses all his tips and tricks for making sure your house painting project turns out the best, then dives into refinishing decks and fences.
Speaker B:
The other thing is to make sure you're using the right primer.
Speaker B:
The right primer is key here.
Speaker B:
Whether you have adhesion problems where you want an adhesion primer or an adhesion primer that maybe is thicker, that'll smooth over all those places that you did your feathering on your sanding to make sure that those aren't dropping down too much and you don't see it.
Speaker B:
Some of that stuff is almost like spray Bondo where it just is really in there filling.
Speaker B:
You want to make sure you're using the right primer.
Speaker B:
And yes, paint and primer are not the same as primer.
Speaker B:
So if you're going over an old finish or you had things that were chalky or you had things that were just not looking optimal, that's where you want to use the primer and then the paint.
Speaker B:
Now check with your paint store.
Speaker B:
They probably can turn around all that.
