In this episode of Home in Progress, sponsored by RepcoLite Paints and Benjamin Moore, Dan tackles one of the most common chimney problems—and it has nothing to do with fire. He explains how water finds its way into brick, mortar, and chimney caps, how to spot the signs early, and what homeowners can do to fix and prevent damage.From there, Dan shifts into the “ghost stories” hiding inside older homes: knob-and-tube wiring, cast-iron plumbing, galvanized supply lines, and those enormous gravity furnaces sometimes called “octopus” systems. He breaks down what they are, why they're still out there, and what you need to know if you're buying or renovating an older house.A listener question leads to a practical step-by-step fix for painted-over wallpaper glue, including how to safely prep, clean, and prime the wall for a smooth finish.Finally, Dan shares a few personal ghost stories from his own 1900s home—strange noises, odd shadows, and one unforgettable week of unexplained events—and uses them as a segue into the importance of proper inspections and hiring qualified specialists when working with old home systems.Episode Timeline00:00 Welcome to Home in Progress00:14 The Most Common Chimney Problem00:35 House-Related Ghost Stories01:22 Listener's Wallpaper-Glue Dilemma02:35 Solving the Wallpaper-Paste Problem06:39 Priming for a Perfect Finish10:22 Real Ghost Experiences18:16 Unexplained Events in the Old House18:43 Transition to Practical Home Improvement20:18 Understanding Knob-and-Tube Wiring25:07 Cast-Iron & Galvanized Plumbing29:22 Gravity Furnaces: The “Octopus” in the Basement32:34 Chimney Maintenance & Water Damage38:57 Final Thoughts

Przemysłowe miasto w Anglii i robotnicza dzielnica w Polsce. Dwa przyczynki do świetnych piosenek. Zacznijmy od Wysp Brytyjskich. Pierwszy przystanek to Salford, w hrabstwie Greater Manchester w Anglii. Stare,  przemysłowe miasto, a co za tym idzie miasto robotnicze. Tak bardzo robotnicze, że to właśnie tu Marx i Engels pomieszkiwali aby studiować ciężkie życie brytyjskiego proletariatu. Ale nie oni są dla nas dzisiaj najważniejsi. W Salford urodził się i wychował James Henry Miller. Znamy go bardzo dobrze. Tworzył, nagrywał i występował pod pseudonimem Ewan MacColl – prawdziwa ikona angielskiego, a w zasadzie światowego folku. Zanim świat go poznał jako folkowego barda, Ewana MacColl próbował być dramaturgiem, współtworzył lewicującą grupę teatralną i pisał sztuki. Akcję jednej z nich „Landscape with Chimney” umieścił właśnie w swoim rodzinnym mieście. Żeby umilić widzom przerwę niezbędną do zmieniany dekoracji, Ewan napisał piosenkę. Ot historyjkę  przywołującą młodzieńcze wspomnienia z przemysłowego Sulford, randki pod gazownią, spacery nad starym kanałem i pierwsze pocałunki pod fabrycznym murem. Nad tym wszystkim rozciąga się przemysłowy smród i odgłosy pracującego miasta. Brudnego, starego miasta. No właśnie, no to tytuł mógł być tylko jeden „ Dirty Old Town”. Nie przypuszczał Ewan, że pisząc niewinny przerywnik do sztuki teatralnej stworzy jeden z największych przebojów wyspiarskiego folku, śpiewany w pubuch i na scenach dosłownie na całym świecie. Pierwsze nagranie autor zrealizował w 52 roku. Piosenka szybko przyjęła się w nowopowstających klubach folkowych. Wkrótce swoją wersję nagrał znany folklorysta Alan Lomax i piosenka poszła w świat. No i „Dirty Old Town” zapragnęli mieć w swoim repertuarze chyba wszyscy artyści choć trochę ocierający się o folk. A słynni The Dubliners w 68 roku dokonali tak porywającego nagrania, że wielu słuchaczy do dziś ma wrażenie że „Dirty Old Town” to irlandzki kawałek.   Ale my nie gęsi. Też mamy swoje stare miasta i ich brudne dzielnice. Szczecin. Miasto nie tak stare jak Salford ale stare. Dzielnica również stara. Pierwsze wzmianki o niej pochodzą z XIII wieku. W XIV już była wymieniana jako wieś pod nazwą Zabelsdorf. W XIX wcielona do granic administracyjnych Szczecina. Dziś jest największą dzielnicą tego miasta i nosi nazwę Niebuszewo. Dzielnica w XIX i na początku XX wieku całkiem prężnie się rozwijała, była dzielnicą przemysłowo mieszkalną, z ciekawą architekturą, której niestety nieliczne ślady pozostały do dzisiaj. Kres rozwojowi przyniosła II wojna światowa. Po wojnie dzielnica została zasiedlona powracającymi z innych terenów Niemcami, Żydami i oczywiście Polakami. Póżniej Niebuszewo zaczęli opuszczać bardziej zamożni mieszkańcy. Dzielnica podupadała, z czasem zyskała złą sławę. Winna temu była wysoka przestępczość. Dziś Niebuszewo jest umieszczane wysoko w zestawieniach polskich niebezpiecznych dzielnic. Ale w brudnej, niebezpiecznej dzielnicy też można mieć szczęśliwe dzieciństwo i bujną młodość. Sulford miało swojego barda  – Niebuszewo ma swojego. Tu pierwszych win próbował, tu pierwsze bójki toczył i tu przemierzał szlaki piwnic i strychów lider szczecińskiej punk folkowej formacji Emerald – Leszek Czarnecki. I jak Ewan o Sulford, tak Leszek o swoim dorastaniu w Niebuszewie napisał piosenkę. I to jaką. „Niebuszewo”, bo taki prosty tytuł nosi, to miejski folk najwyższej próby. Ja od pierwszego przesłuchania jestem oczarowany. Świetny tekst i kompozycja, wspaniała, niebanalna aranżacja. No i wykonanie, nie przesadzę jak powiem, że Pana Czarneckiego z zespołem spokojnie możemy umieścić na tej samej półce co MacGowana z Poguesami. Sail ho   Audycja zawiera utwory: “Dirty Old Town” w wykonaniu „The Pogues”, słowa I muzyka: Ewan MacColl „Niebuszewo” w wykonaniu zespołu „Emerald”, słowa i muzyka: Leszek Czarnecki

"Service isn't a necessary evil—it's your most valuable relationship builder." This week, Tim welcomes Bart Ogden, owner of Home Safe Hearth & Chimney in Wichita, Kansas, to discuss how service work can be the foundation of a thriving hearth business. Starting as a chimney sweep in 1979 in a town of 600 people, Bart built his company on a simple principle: if someone calls needing help, we're going to help them—regardless of brand, age, or who installed it. In this episode, Tim and Bart discuss: Why servicing everything—not just what you sell—builds long-term customer relationships that outlast and outperform the initial sale. The lifetime value of a service customer: How annual or bi-annual maintenance over decades generates more revenue than the original installation, and creates trust when replacement is finally needed. Profitability through knowing your numbers: Why specialty service businesses need 60% margins to thrive, and how to build a supply chain that supports servicing all brands. Building a systematic training program: How Bart created a 100-day curriculum using certification paths (CSIA, NFI) that trains every technician to the same standard, regardless of their background. The power of great inspections: Why every successful service job starts with ensuring customers know the exact condition of their system, then letting them choose what happens next. Don't miss this episode that reframes service from an afterthought into the strategic foundation of a sustainable hearth business. ------ Become a supporter of The Fire Time Network and get access to awesome rewards: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://itsfiretime.com/join⁠⁠⁠⁠ To hear more audio articles from our magazine, subscribe to the Fire Time Magazine Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.itsfiretime.com/magazine⁠⁠⁠⁠ To get a copy of the 2025 Fire Time Journal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.itsfiretime.com/journal⁠⁠⁠⁠ Read The Fire Time Magazine Reader Edition online: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://magazine.itsfiretime.com⁠⁠⁠⁠

Send us a textFireplaces feel timeless, but the safety of that glow lives inside a dark shaft most of us never see. We pull back the curtain on chimney scopes—the video inspections that reveal cracked terracotta liners, missing mortar, offsets, and even missing tile sections that can channel heat straight into framing. Along the way, we explain pyrolysis in plain language and why wood repeatedly heated over time can ignite at surprisingly low temperatures. That one insight alone can change how you think about “just one more fire.”We share what a Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 chimney inspection actually mean, and why a Level 2 scope is the difference between guesswork and real risk assessment. You'll hear field stories: sixteen chimneys scoped in a historic building, a flue section gone near an attic, wildlife nests and bees blocking exhaust, and a seller who lit a “goodbye fire” after being warned—and lost the house that night. We also talk insurance: when sudden damage is covered, how long-term neglect triggers denials, and why receipts for annual cleanings can make or break a fire claim. If you're a homeowner, buyer, agent, or short-term rental host, this is practical safety you can act on today.Our goal is simple: keep heat where it belongs—inside a safe, intact flue—and out of the spaces that can burn. Learn how to decide when to scope, what red flags demand immediate action, and how to document maintenance so insurers, buyers, and guests have confidence.

fWotD Episode 3020: Berners Street hoax Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 11 August 2025, is Berners Street hoax.The Berners Street hoax was perpetrated by the writer Theodore Hook in London in 1810. After several weeks of preparation he made an apparently spontaneous bet with a friend that he could transform any property into the most talked-about address in London. Hook spent six weeks sending between a thousand and four thousand letters to tradespeople and businesses ordering deliveries of their goods and services to 54 Berners Street, London, at various times on 27 November 1810. Several well-known people were also invited to call on the address, including the chairmen of the Bank of England and the East India Company, the Duke of Gloucester and the Lord Mayor of London.Hook and his friends rented rooms in the house opposite number 54 to view proceedings. Chimney sweeps began arriving at the address at 5:00 am on the day, followed by hundreds of representatives of several trades and businesses, including auctioneers, undertakers, grocers, butchers, bakers, pastry chefs and dancing masters; goods deliveries included organs, furniture, coal, wedding cakes, food, drink and a coffin. The police were called to try and manage the crowd but they were not able to clear the street until after the final influx of visitors at 5:00 pm: domestic servants who thought they were to be interviewed for a job.Hook was unidentified at the time, but admitted his involvement in a semi-autobiographical novel published twenty-five years after the event. The hoax was repeated across Britain and Paris, and was retold on stage, in song and by cartoonists.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:55 UTC on Monday, 11 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Berners Street hoax on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Danielle.

Why Home Inspections Matter: Insights from the Talk Real Estate Roundtable At Boston Connect Real Estate, we believe every move should be a moving experience—and that starts with being informed. In our latest episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, host Melissa Wallace sat down with veteran Realtor® Sue Bollinger to dive deep into the importance of home inspections, a topic that's gaining even more attention with upcoming changes to Massachusetts law. Why Home Inspections Shouldn't Be Skipped Sue, a full-time Realtor® with over 20 years of experience on the South Shore, strongly advises against waiving home inspections—something buyers have felt pressure to do in competitive markets. Fortunately, a new Massachusetts law going into effect in October will prevent sellers from requiring buyers to waive their right to an inspection, leveling the playing field for informed decisions. Home inspections aren't just about uncovering issues—they're an educational experience for buyers. From understanding how to shut off water valves to knowing how to change a furnace filter, a good inspector arms buyers with essential knowledge about their future home. Common Issues and How to Handle Them Sue and Melissa highlighted several recurring issues that come up during home inspections: Roof Conditions: An aging roof can lead to leaks, mold, and major expenses. Inspectors evaluate remaining roof life and help buyers negotiate credits or plan for future repairs. Plumbing Leaks: Even minor issues like a leaky kitchen sink can raise red flags. The key is understanding whether the issue has been addressed and how serious it is. Electrical Problems: Outdated wiring, missing GFCI outlets, and insufficient amperage are common and can range from simple fixes to major upgrades. Mold and Moisture: Especially relevant in New England basements and attics, mold is both a health concern and a costly remediation item. Chimney and Structural Concerns: One buyer in Sue's story discovered a leaning chimney after purchase—a repair they took on themselves because the issue had been previously disclosed but not fixed. The Role of Negotiation and Education A major takeaway from the show is that home inspections shouldn't be viewed as deal-breakers, but as opportunities for negotiation and preparation. Sellers can provide past inspection reports and repair summaries, and buyers can use that information to make confident, informed offers. Melissa noted the emotional side of the process—how buyers interpret inspection reports depends greatly on perception. A leaky sink might be a quick fix to one person and a nightmare to another. That's where a skilled agent's guidance becomes invaluable. Don't Forget the Extras Aside from the standard home inspection, buyers can—and often should—invest in: Pest inspections Water testing Radon testing Septic inspections (Title V), which are typically handled by sellers in Massachusetts Sue also discussed renovation financing options like 203K loans, which can help buyers address costly issues like roof or septic system replacements without needing immediate cash out-of-pocket. Client Care Beyond the Sale Boston Connect Real Estate isn't just about transactions. Melissa and Sue also reflected on how the Pembroke office has become a community hub—from hosting Mother's Day events and summer ice cream socials to the beloved annual Holiday Open House with Santa. These client events aren't just fun—they're a reflection of our mission to build lasting relationships. Thinking about buying or selling a home on the South Shore?
