Today’s first caller is adding 500 square feet to his property in Whittier, which is one of LA’s older cities. The City is coming out to check out his sewer line, and he’s concerned about what they are looking for and how much it wil...

At the top of the second hour, a caller up in Northern California is having issues with the siding on his home that needs to be replaced, but he’s unsure what the present material is.
