This week, we’re diving into a hot topic that’s been on my mind since last weekend’s show: why some builders totally miss the mark when it comes to constructing homes. It’s not just about the shiny materials; the real magic (or disaster) happens during installation. I’m talking about how a well-built house with subpar materials can outlast a high-end home that’s poorly put together. We’ll chat about specific products where installation is the unsung hero, like windows, HVAC systems, roofing, and even tile. Plus, I’ll spill some tea from my drive through the neighborhood, where I couldn’t help but notice some serious flashing faux pas. So, buckle up and let’s explore how the right installation can save your dream home from a watery grave! Dive into the nitty-gritty of home improvement with Eric G. as he takes us on a wild ride through the often overlooked world of construction quality. This episode unpacks the all-too-common scenario of builders skimping on essential installation practices, especially in high-dollar homes. Picture this: a brand new McMansion going up on a prime waterfront lot, yet the details are as flimsy as a paper towel. Eric passionately highlights the importance of proper flashing around windows and doors, revealing how a few hours of diligent work could save future homeowners from costly repairs down the line. Not to mention, he shares insights on the vital role of independent inspectors in the building process—because who wants to discover their dream home is built with 1995 technology? The conversation is both engaging and enlightening, making it clear that in home improvement, the devil is in the details. So whether you’re a DIY diva or just a curious listener, this episode is a must-listen to avoid getting hoodwinked by shoddy workmanship. Takeaways: Eric G shares insights from last weekend's show and highlights the importance of quality installations in home building. He discusses how builders can sometimes cut corners, leading to potentially costly issues down the line for homeowners. The episode emphasizes that sometimes the installation quality is more crucial than the material grade when it comes to windows, doors, and roofing. Listeners are encouraged to consider hiring independent inspectors during the home building process to ensure everything is up to modern standards.

Tariff troubles are on the table today as Eric dives into the latest updates that could have you pondering your next home improvement project. While the world of construction might feel a bit shaky with all these economic shifts, Eric’s got your back with some solid tips to keep your foundation in tip-top shape this spring. From wrangling those pesky downspouts to ensuring your yard slopes away from your home like a champ, he’s laying down the groundwork for long-lasting home health. Plus, if you’ve been eyeing that new barbecue or outdoor project, stay tuned for Eric’s advice on timing your investments wisely. So, let’s roll up our sleeves and get into it—your home deserves all the love, and we’re here to help you give it! It's the midweek update, and I'm here to spill the beans on what's shaking in the world of tariffs and home foundations. First up, let’s chew on those tariffs that seem to have everyone in a tizzy. I mean, can you feel the stress? The stock market's doing acrobatics, and folks are clutching their 401ks like they're the last slice of pizza at a party. But fear not! I dive into the nitty-gritty of why you shouldn’t panic unless you plan on cashing out tomorrow. Spoiler: This rollercoaster ride is all part of the cycle. We chat about how the current shifts in manufacturing and jobs could eventually lead to a home improvement renaissance right here in the good ol’ U.S.A. But hey, let’s not kid ourselves; it might cost us a few extra bucks in the short run. Still, I’m holding onto hope that this will lead us to a brighter financial future, one where our kids won’t have to deal with the same debt burdens. So, if you’re itching to build that dream house, maybe hold your horses for a couple of months while we see how this unfolds. Now, onto the juicy stuff: keeping your foundation looking fabulous this spring! I lay down the three golden rules you need to know to protect your home's foundation like a pro. Rule number one: water management! Seriously, you’d be surprised how much damage a little rainwater can do if it's not directed away from your home. We’re talking about downspouts that need to be your best friends—get that water flowing away like it’s on a mission! Next up, let’s chat about grading. If your yard’s not sloping away from your house, it might as well be begging for a foundation disaster. And if you live in a clay soil area, listen up—keeping that soil moist is crucial to preventing cracks from forming. Trust me, a little watering goes a long way. Finally, I suggest keeping an eye on those cracks and getting a structural engineer involved when things look iffy. It may feel like an expense, but it’s a smart investment in the long run. So grab your garden hose and get to work! Takeaways: Eric's insights on the current tariff situation highlight the importance of staying informed and cautious about news sources, especially during economic fluctuations. For homeowners, spring is the perfect season to ensure your foundation stays healthy and strong; a few proactive measures can save big headaches later. Controlling water runoff from your roof is crucial; directing downspouts away from your foundation can prevent costly water damage and structural issues.

Eric G is here to serve up a comprehensive spring home maintenance checklist that'll have your pad looking fresh and ready to take on the warm months ahead. From cleaning out gutters to checking your HVAC system (seriously, don’t skip that one), we’re diving into all the essential tasks you need to tackle to keep your abode in tip-top shape. And let’s be real—who wants to deal with a busted AC in the middle of a heatwave? Not us! So grab your toolbelt, maybe a snack (hey, maintenance is hard work!), and let’s get our homes ready for a fabulous spring! Spring has sprung, and you know what that means: it’s time for our annual home maintenance checklist! Eric G is here to guide us through the essential steps that will keep our homes as fresh as a daisy this season. Whether you're a seasoned DIYer or someone who just wants to ensure their castle is in tip-top shape, this checklist is your golden ticket. From checking on your HVAC systems to cleaning those pesky gutters, Eric spills the beans on everything you need to do to prepare your home for the sunshine and warmth. First up, let’s talk about the HVAC system. Eric strongly emphasizes the importance of annual servicing for your air conditioner or heat pump. Seriously, folks, don’t play with fire—err, I mean, don’t let your system break down just because you skipped that yearly check-up. He shares personal anecdotes about the time he learned this lesson the hard way (and trust us, it’s not pretty). Remember, a little preventive maintenance goes a long way! Next, we venture outside to tackle the garden and landscaping. Trimming those overgrown bushes and ensuring proper airflow around your AC unit is crucial. Eric even throws in some humorous anecdotes about his own battles with nature—think yellow jackets and the chaos that ensued. As the episode progresses, we cover everything from cleaning out window wells to checking for dangerous insect nests. So grab your gloves, and let’s dive into the dirt because a little elbow grease now will save you a ton of headaches later! Takeaways: Spring is the perfect time to tackle your home maintenance checklist and ensure everything is in tip-top shape. Don't forget to clean out your air conditioner and heat pump to prevent major breakdowns come summer. Check your gutters and downspouts to make sure they are directing water away from your foundation, avoiding future damage. Inspect your windows and doors for cracked caulking and weather stripping to keep your home energy efficient this spring.

Merger mania is sweeping through the construction industry, and Eric G is here to spill the tea on the latest jaw-dropping acquisitions!

I mean, can we talk about the size of that check? Talk about making waves in the housing market! With mortgage rates climbing and sales of previously occupied homes plunging to a near three-decade low, it’s clear that the construction landscape is shifting faster than a jackhammer on the job site. Eric dives deep into the implications of these mergers, like how James Hardy will control a staggering 74% of the new company, leaving AZEK stockholders with a mere 26%. But the real kicker? James Hardy's resilience through its asbestos scandal is a testament to the brand's grit.

From cabinet disasters to questionable craftsmanship, it’s like watching a bad reality show unfold.

With horror stories of ugly finishes and poor designs, Eric emphasizes the importance of doing your homework before investing in custom cabinetry. Should you trust the local kitchen and bath design center? Spoiler alert: yes! It’s all about finding quality over quantity, and Eric offers sage advice on what finishes and practices to look out for. So before you dive headfirst into your next renovation project, make sure to tune in for some golden nuggets of wisdom that could save you from a DIY disaster!

We're diving into the nitty-gritty of the top bad contractor scams of 2025! Buckle up, because we're about to unveil the sneaky tactics that some less-than-reputable contractors use to pull a fast one on unsuspecting homeowners. From underbidding to massive deposits and change orders that seem to pop up out of nowhere, we’re here to help you navigate through the minefield of home renovations. I mean, who wants to get stuck with a contractor who leaves you hanging after taking your cash, right? So grab your toolbox (or maybe just a snack), and let’s get ready to arm ourselves with knowledge to ensure your next project goes off without a hitch! Navigating the wild world of home renovations can be a bit like trying to dance on a tightrope while juggling flaming swords—exciting but fraught with potential disaster! Eric G dives headfirst into the murky waters of contractor scams in 2025, sharing the top ten ways homeowners can protect themselves from unscrupulous tradespeople. Starting with the essential reminder to always hire licensed, bonded, and insured contractors, he emphasizes the importance of doing your homework to steer clear of the 5% of bad apples that spoil the bunch. He also warns against the pitfalls of relying on social media recommendations—because let’s be honest, the only thing worse than a bad contractor might just be one who’s recommended by that one friend who can’t even hang a picture straight. Moving along, Eric pulls back the curtain on duct cleaning scams that prey on unsuspecting homeowners. He paints a vivid picture of these deceptive ads that lure folks in with promises of a clean home, only to deliver a box of dust bunnies and a hefty bill. If you’re not careful, you might find yourself with a bill that’s more shocking than discovering that your favorite takeout place has closed down! The key takeaway? Always verify credentials and seek out certified professionals who can actually back up their claims. As the conversation unfolds, Eric discusses the dangers of excessive deposits and unexpected price hikes. He recounts a cautionary tale about a homeowner caught in a web of lies, where a seemingly innocent remodeling job morphed into a financial nightmare. Eric’s advice? Lock down a detailed contract that specifies every aspect of the job to avoid being blindsided by those sneaky change orders that can inflate costs faster than a hot air balloon at a county fair. So grab your notepad, folks—this episode is packed with wisdom that could save you from a renovation horror story! Takeaways: Always verify contractor licenses in your area to avoid being scammed. Beware of contractors who ask you to purchase materials; they should handle it all! Understand the details in your contract to prevent unexpected costs during the project. High-pressure sales tactics from contractors are a major red flag; take your time to decide. Be cautious of low bids; they often lead to costly change orders down the line. Don't rely on the Better Business Bureau for contractor credibility; do your own research.

Alright, folks, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of home renovations in 2025! Today, we’re laying out the biggest blunders homeowners make when tackling their DIY dreams. Seriously, it’s a treasure trove of “uh-ohs” you want to avoid at all costs. From not planning your project within the grand scheme of things to the classic mistake of going for the lowest bid contractor, we’re spilling the beans on what not to do. Trust me, you don’t want to end up with a half-finished project or a home that screams “cheap flip.” So, grab your favorite beverage, kick back, and let’s chat about how to keep your renovation journey smooth, stylish, and—most importantly—sane! Home renovations can be a wild ride, but let’s face it, they can also be a total nightmare if you’re not careful. Eric G dives into the biggest renovation blunders that homeowners are making in 2025, and trust me, you don’t want to be one of those folks left holding the bag (or the hammer). Kicking things off, Eric highlights the importance of planning your project within the overall house plan. You wouldn’t throw a party without sending out invites, right? So why would you start digging and building without a solid plan? He talks about how people often jump into projects without considering how it all fits together, leading to some seriously costly re-dos. Next up, he tackles the classic mistake of using low-quality materials for renovations. Sure, it’s tempting to save a few bucks at the home center, but skimping on quality could mean your beautiful mid-range home ends up looking like a cheap flip. If you want to keep your property value up and your home looking fabulous, you’ve got to invest wisely! But it doesn’t stop there! Eric also covers the dangers of making personal choices that could hurt your resale value. You might love that bright pink carpet in the kids' room, but potential buyers? Not so much. He urges listeners to think about the future and avoid over-personalizing their spaces in ways that could turn off future buyers. Additionally, we get into the nitty-gritty of ventilation, an essential but often overlooked aspect of remodels. Whether it’s ensuring your new bathroom has adequate ventilation or that your kitchen’s vent hood actually vents outside (and not just blows grease back in your face), Eric’s got the tips you need to keep your home healthy and air quality high. As we wrap up this informative hour, Eric reminds us that the renovation journey can be both exciting and fraught with pitfalls. But with a little foresight and careful planning, you can avoid the costly mistakes that so many homeowners make. Tune in for the full scoop and make sure your next project is a smashing success! Takeaways: Planning your renovation project is crucial; don't just wing it and risk costly mistakes. Using low-quality materials can devalue your home; invest wisely to avoid future regrets. Avoid personalizing your space too much if you plan to sell; keep resale value in mind. Not hiring a designer can lead to expensive mistakes; their expertise is invaluable for renovations. Neglecting proper ventilation in remodels can create unhealthy environments; ensure air quality is a priority. Ignoring small maintenance tasks can lead to bigger issues down the road; stay proactive to avoid costly repairs.

Spring has sprung, and with it comes the sneezes and snuffles of allergy season! If you're anything like me, you know that clean indoor air can be a game changer when it comes to surviving the pollen apocalypse. So, I've gathered my top three quick tips to help us all breathe a little easier this spring. First up, make sure that stovetop fan is doing its thing—venting outside, not just blowing hot air back at you! Then, let’s tackle that dust bunny army lurking in our homes; a good spring clean is like giving your air quality a spa day. And lastly, don’t forget about your bathroom fan; it needs to work overtime after those steamy showers. Tune in for all the details and let’s kick those allergens to the curb together! Spring is here, and with it comes the dreaded allergy season! Eric G dives into three top-notch tips to help you breathe easier indoors, making your space a haven from all that pollen and dust. First up, he emphasizes the importance of your stove's exhaust fan. Seriously, turning that thing on before you even think about cooking is like giving your indoor air quality a high-five! It helps to whisk away all those cooking fumes and potential allergens right out of your home. Think of it as a spa day for your air—let it inhale fresh outdoor vibes, minus the kitchen odors! Next on the agenda? Spring cleaning! No, not the kind where you shove everything under the bed and call it a day. Eric encourages a thorough decluttering and cleaning routine to combat dust bunnies that have set up camp in your home. He even shares his love for robotic vacuums—because who has time to vacuum when you could be binge-watching your favorite show? Keeping a clean space is like giving your lungs a little spring break from that pesky indoor pollution. Finally, let’s chat about your bathroom fan. Eric reminds us that it’s not just there for show! Running it after showers helps eliminate moisture, keeping mold at bay. And if your bathroom fan is a relic from the past, it might be time for an upgrade. We're talking about a fan that actually moves air like it means business! So grab a comfy chair, tune in, and let’s clear the air—literally! Takeaways: Make sure to turn on your kitchen stovetop fan before you start cooking to improve air quality. Cleaning your home regularly not only reduces clutter but also helps minimize dust and allergens. A robust bath fan is essential; run it for at least 20 minutes after showers to reduce humidity. Always check outdoor air quality before opening windows in spring to avoid bringing in allergens.

This week's Mid-Week update is a treasure trove of insights and revelations, all thanks to our buddy Eric G. He’s been busy, and let me tell you, he’s got quite a few juicy tidbits to share! First off, Monument Grill has dropped a brand new line of grills, and Eric is practically bubbling with excitement.

But that’s not all; Eric is gearing up to showcase this grill at the National Hardware show soon. So, get ready to catch some sizzling updates from that event! Now, onto a rather surprising and essential gadget: an air quality monitor that Eric picked up off Amazon. He’s been testing it around his house and wow, the findings are eye-opening! This little device measures everything from particulate matter to volatile organic compounds, and Eric shares some fascinating insights from his experiments. For instance, he discovered some carbon monoxide levels in his kitchen — not alarming, but definitely a nudge to keep an eye on things. Also, a casual stroll near his living room pillows made the monitor spike due to some sneaky formaldehyde emissions. Who knew cheap decor could be a hidden hazard?

It’s a blend of information and entertainment that keeps the audience engaged and ready for action.

Picture this: walking 29 miles through a mega trade show with a few hundred thousand of our closest pals, and still feeling like we barely scratched the surface! Oh, and speaking of surface, Eric spills the tea on his stay at the Resorts World Casino in Vegas—a place that, let’s just say, didn't quite live up to the glitzy hype.

Imagine walking 29 miles over five days, navigating through a veritable sea of home improvement aficionados and industry innovations—it's like a marathon for the home improvement nerds! From the moment he stepped into the cavernous convention center, Eric was struck by the sheer scale of the event.

Eric also spills the tea on his stay at Resorts World Casino in Vegas, and let me tell you, it’s a tale filled with more twists than a soap opera. Spoiler alert: he’s not a fan. From a check-in line that could rival the DMV in length to a room that felt more like a shoebox than a luxurious retreat, Eric candidly shares his frustrations. He dives into the nitty-gritty of his experience, detailing the lack of basic amenities and the infamous broken refrigerator that turned his stay into a DIY icebox adventure. It’s a hilarious yet cautionary tale about the perils of booking during convention season in Las Vegas—who knew a king room could feel like a dungeon? Tune in for Eric’s witty commentary and hard-earned tips for navigating both the trade show and the Vegas hotel scene, ensuring that your next trip doesn't end up as a cautionary tale like his!

A special mention goes to Champion Homes for their impressive factory-built duplex showcased at the tradeshow, setting a new standard for affordable housing.

So, grab your headphones and get ready to take some notes because Andy's got the tips and tricks to ensure you're not left high and dry when you need your insurance to come through! If you want the full scoop, check out the premium episode—it's worth every penny! Navigating the choppy waters of insurance claims can feel like trying to paddle upstream in a raging river, especially when disaster strikes and your home is on the line. In this engaging hour with Andy Gurczak, a seasoned independent insurance adjuster, we plunge deep into the ins and outs of managing an insurance claim. From his unique perspective as a public adjuster, Andy sheds light on common pitfalls homeowners encounter. He shares jaw-dropping stories of clients caught off guard by the fine print of their policies, leaving them underinsured and scrambling for help. We’ll explore the nuances of how to effectively communicate with your insurance company, ensuring you use the right terminology—because let’s be real, saying “flood” when you mean “leak” might just sink your claim! With wildfires and hurricanes making headlines, this episode is a timely reminder that having the right coverage isn’t just smart, it’s essential. Tune in to learn how to ensure you're adequately protected and what steps to take if you find yourself facing a claim. As we venture further into the conversation, Andy and I discuss the often-overlooked importance of proactive policy reviews.

He emphasizes the need for homeowners to understand what their policies actually cover, highlighting the shocking reality that many are woefully underinsured.

Listen closely, and you might just avoid the disaster of being caught without the right coverage when you need it most! Takeaways: Understanding your insurance policy is crucial; many homeowners are underinsured without realizing it.

Around the House® Home Improvement: A Deep Dive into Your Home

Get ready to supercharge your home tech game! In this episode, I dive headfirst into the world of WiFi optimization, making sure you're not paying for a Ferrari while stuck with a tricycle. I’m dishing out my top tips for 2025 on how to ensure your internet service provider is delivering the goods—because who wants to be stuck buffering during the big game? We’ll also explore the coolest new smart home products hitting the market, making your life easier and your home smarter than ever. So, whether you're a tech newbie or a seasoned pro, stick around as we navigate the wild world of home connectivity and automation together! The quest for the perfect Wi-Fi can feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack, especially when you've got the whole family streaming, gaming, and, let’s be honest, probably binge-watching another season of that show you promised you’d stop after one episode. This episode dives deep into the tech tips for 2025 and sheds light on how to make sure you're getting the internet speeds you’re paying for. Eric G is your guide, and he’s not holding back! Starting with some straightforward advice, he suggests checking your internet speed using a reliable speed test. Spoiler alert: if your ISP is rounding down, you might be paying for gigabit service but only getting a fraction of that. From there, we slide into the importance of your router's placement—because, believe it or not, the location can either make or break your connection. Forget about cramming it in that dusty corner by the front door; think strategically! Eric lays out the benefits of a mesh Wi-Fi system, which is basically like sprinkling mini routers around your home like fairy dust to ensure that glorious signal reaches every nook and cranny. But wait, there’s more! As we cruise through the episode, Eric introduces us to some of the coolest tech products hitting the market in 2025 that promise to revolutionize our smart homes. Think: AI-driven appliances and gadgets that not only keep your home running smoothly but also make you feel like a tech wizard! He discusses the new Akora 4-megapixel camera, which boasts features like true color night vision and the ability to recognize faces and detect unusual sounds. This isn’t just a camera; it’s like having a personal security guard who can also make your morning coffee, well, if it could only brew too. The episode wraps up with a reminder of how critical it is to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to tech upgrades in your home, because the only thing worse than buffering during your favorite show is realizing you’ve been using outdated equipment for years. So, grab your popcorn and tune in; your Wi-Fi woes might just find their happy ending! Takeaways: To maximize your home WiFi, ensure you get the speeds you’re paying for, as many ISPs can be a little sneaky with their numbers. Consider upgrading to a mesh WiFi system if you want full signal strength in every nook and cranny of your home, especially for streaming. If you have older devices, check their capabilities because you might be buying more internet speed than they can handle, which is a bummer. Wired connections are generally more reliable than WiFi, so whenever possible, run an ethernet cable for better performance. Keep your modem and router updated; a monthly reset can help maintain optimal performance and connectivity. Smart home devices are getting smarter every year, so keep an eye out for the latest products that can enhance your home experience in 2025.

Eric G is here to spill the tea on how we’re right in the thick of a whirlwind of change, driven by flashy new tech and potential shifts in energy standards. He’s got his finger on the pulse of what’s happening out there, and he’s calling for a hefty dose of common sense at the table. We’re talking about how all this innovation can crank up costs for homeowners, and whether it’s really worth it in the long run. So, buckle up as we navigate through the chaos, dissect the latest trends, and, fingers crossed, find some clarity in this ever-evolving landscape! Change is in the air, folks! Eric G dives deep into the swirling winds of transformation that are sweeping through the building community. With new technologies sprouting faster than weeds in spring and potential shifts in energy standards looming like a dark cloud, it’s clear that our beloved homes are on the brink of a makeover. But hold onto your hard hats – it’s not just about shiny gadgets and fancy regulations. Our buddy Eric insists that we need a hefty dose of common sense sprinkled over all this change. After all, who wants to spend a fortune on a smart thermostat that doesn’t actually save you a dime? We kick off with a cheeky look at the political landscape and how it could impact our wallets, particularly if waste and fraud in the government are tackled. Eric's got his eyes on lumber prices like a hawk, pointing out the intricate dance of supply and demand and how that might play out for builders and DIY enthusiasts alike. He warns us that while tech can make our homes more resilient and efficient, it can also drive up costs faster than you can say “energy-efficient furnace.” Are we really getting our money’s worth, or are we just being sold a bill of goods? But don’t worry, there’s light at the end of the tunnel! Eric highlights the importance of making informed choices that prioritize both our pocketbooks and our planet. With a mix of humor and insight, he reminds us that while building science is evolving, we shouldn’t lose sight of practicality. So buckle up, folks, because navigating this new frontier requires a blend of innovation and good old-fashioned common sense! Takeaways: We're in the midst of a significant shift in the building community, driven by new tech. Energy standards are on the verge of change, and we need some common sense injected into it. Higher costs for energy-efficient systems mean we must be savvy homeowners to save money. We're seeing a blend of building science and technology that can raise home costs, tricky business! The political landscape is chaotic, but there’s hope for common sense in building and energy codes. Old school incandescent bulbs may be making a comeback, despite the shiny new LED tech.

Hiring a contractor can feel like picking the right partner for a dance—get it wrong, and you might end up stepping on some toes! That’s why we’re diving into the nitty-gritty with Eric G as he shares his top 10 questions to ask before you let just anyone waltz into your home for a remodel or renovation. From checking if they’re licensed and insured (because you don’t want to be liable for someone else's bad day) to making sure they offer clear written estimates that won’t leave you guessing, we’ve got you covered. We’re talking about the essentials—like how to ensure they’re not just good with a hammer but also experts in the specific project you’re tackling. So grab a comfy seat, put on those thinking caps, and let’s get ready to dance our way through the contractor hiring process with style and a sprinkle of fun! When diving into the nitty-gritty of hiring a contractor, there’s no shortage of things you need to keep in mind. Eric G lays it all out on the table with his top 10 questions that could save you from a world of hurt—or at least a couple of headaches! First off, we're talking licenses, bonds, and insurance. You want to ensure your contractor is legit. No one wants a fly-by-night operation showing up at their doorstep with a toolbox and a dream. Eric emphasizes the importance of understanding your local laws, which can vary significantly. Some areas have stringent regulations while others are more of a free-for-all. It’s like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded—without the right information, you could end up in a sticky situation. Next on the list? Background checks! Yep, it's not just for potential romantic partners; you should do the same for your contractor. A quick Google search can unearth a treasure trove of information. Look for reviews, past projects, and maybe even a juicy scandal or two (hey, we’re all human, right?). You wouldn’t want to hire someone with a track record of disappearing with clients' deposits or worse, leaving a trail of chaos behind them. Eric also stresses the importance of clear written estimates. If your contractor hands you a vague number scribbled on a napkin, run for the hills! You need detailed estimates that outline every single aspect of your project, from materials to labor costs, to ensure you’re not caught off-guard later. But wait, there's more! Eric digs into the expertise of your contractor. Are they a jack-of-all-trades or a master of one? If you’re hiring someone to put in a new roof, you want a roofer, not a guy who thinks he can wing it because he once watched a YouTube tutorial. Communication is also key. Are they responsive, friendly, and organized? You want to work with someone who respects your time and keeps you in the loop. Lastly, Eric touches on payment schedules, permits, and whether they will supply project plans—because nothing says “I’m a professional” like a well-laid-out plan. So buckle up, listeners, because Eric G is here to make sure you don’t get burned when hiring your contractor! Takeaways: Before hiring a contractor, make sure they are licensed, bonded, and insured for everyone's safety. Always ask for clear, detailed written estimates to avoid nasty surprises during your project. It's crucial to verify that the contractor has expertise in the specific type of project you're undertaking. Checking their references and previous work can save you from hiring a 'sledgehammer contractor' disaster. Don't be shy to ask about their payment schedule and ensure it's clearly outlined in the contract. Make sure they are responsible for pulling all necessary permits to keep your project on the right side of the law.

Buckle up, folks! This Weekday Update is all about storm prep and the shiny new generator that’s about to become my best buddy. I’m diving into the nitty-gritty of why this tri-fuel powerhouse is a game-changer for tackling those pesky power outages that come with a good ol' snowstorm. But that's not all; we're also spilling the tea on some concerning consumer recalls—like those electric ranges that might just turn your kitchen into a fire hazard if a pet decides to get a little too curious. And speaking of kitchens, I’ll share the one thing you should absolutely never put on your cooktop, because seriously, who needs a trip to the emergency room when you're just trying to whip up dinner? So grab your headphones and let’s get this storm-prepping party started! Winter is knocking at the door, and Eric G is here to help you answer it with style—starting with storm preparations! This week’s episode is all about getting ready for the big storm hitting Portland, and Eric is pumped about his brand new trifuel generator. This 12,000 watt powerhouse isn’t just any old generator; it comes equipped with a carbon monoxide shield, ensuring that when the lights go out, you’re still in the safety zone. Eric reminisces about his previous struggles with gas generators—let's just say running out of gas in a snowstorm is not the kind of adventure anyone wants. With this trifuel option, he can now kick back and let the generator do the work, whether it’s running on natural gas, propane, or gasoline. Who needs to run out in the snow for gas when you can stay cozy indoors? Takeaways: In storm prep, having a generator like the new tri-fuel one means no more gas runs during outages, which is a total win! Consumer recalls are serious business—like the LG ranges with knobs that could ignite a fire just by being brushed against, yikes! Never, I mean NEVER, put anything flammable like wood or cutting boards on your cooktop—it's a recipe for disaster, literally! Stay aware of recalls, especially those with button batteries; they can be a hazard for little hands and curious pets alike.
