Taxes and government policies can turn the cozy world of homeownership into a rollercoaster ride of headaches and surprises, and that's exactly what Eric is diving into today. With a keen eye on the Portland metro area, he spills the tea on how local woes, like homelessness and mental health issues, are affecting property values and creating a domino effect on homeowners. You won't believe the steep discounts investors are taking on commercial buildings—talk about a fire sale! He also gives us the lowdown on Washington's new income tax and how those millionaires are packing their bags faster than you can say “tax evasion.” So buckle up as we explore how these fiscal shenanigans impact us all, whether we own a home or just dream of one!Gather around, folks! Eric G. has another juicy mid-week update for us, and this one is packed with insights on how taxes and government shenanigans are turning the homeowner's world upside down. Eric's easy-going style makes it feel like you're just hanging out, but trust me, the topics he tackles are nothing to sneeze at. Starting with a sobering look at Portland's struggles with homelessness and mental health, he connects the dots between societal issues and housing market trends, suggesting that it's not just about building more homes – it's about addressing the root causes of displacement and instability. He then segues into the tax situation in Washington state, where a new income tax has popped up like that annoying ad you can't skip. Eric's take on this is both humorous and critical, especially when he highlights how big names are fleeing the state in the wake of higher taxes. It's a classic case of “tax the rich, and they'll just take their ball and go home,” which could have serious implications for the local economy and, by extension, homeowners. Eric's witty banter keeps the mood light while addressing the heavy reality of these issues, reminding us all to stay vigilant about the policies that affect our pocketbooks. As the episode progresses, Eric encourages listeners to be proactive in their communities and to hold local leaders accountable. He shares anecdotes that illustrate how decisions made in city halls can have direct impacts on our neighborhoods, from rising energy costs to quirky regulations that seem to exist just to irritate homeowners. With a blend of humor and earnestness, he drives home the point that we all need to engage with the political landscape – after all, it's our homes and communities on the line. So, whether you're a homeowner or just someone who values stable neighborhoods, this episode is a must-listen!Takeaways:In today's episode, Eric sheds light on how taxes and government policies can significantly impact homeowners, highlighting the need for residents to stay informed and engaged.The struggles in the Portland metro area with homelessness and drug addiction are not just social issues, but they directly affect property values and community safety.Washington state just passed an income tax that may face legal challenges, showcasing the ongoing debate about taxation and its implications for high earners and local economies.Eric emphasizes the importance of local governance and how certain laws, like those restricting fire pits, can seem arbitrary and unfair to homeowners, urging listeners to hold officials accountable.The episode discusses how rising taxes and fees are often a result of governmental spending issues, rather than a need for higher taxation, which ultimately burdens homeowners.As the weather turns wild with rain and potential flooding, Eric reminds listeners to prepare their homes and stay safe while navigating these seasonal challenges.Links referenced in this episode:aroundthehousonline.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:Eric G.Elephants DelicatessenStarbucksHoward SchultzThanks for listening to Around the house if you want to hear more please subscribe so you get notified of the latest episode as it posts at https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/listenIf you want to join the Around the House Insider for access to the back catalog, Exclusive Content and a direct email to Eric G and access to the show early https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/support We love comments and we would love reviews on how this information has helped you on your house!

In this week's Monday Market Data Report, Mark Lumpkin breaks down the short-term rental amenity data for Bend, a popular mountain destination known for skiing, outdoor recreation, breweries, and year-round tourism.Using data from STR Search, this episode looks at which amenities top-performing properties are using to outperform their competition—and how much additional revenue those features can generate.Here's what the data shows in Bend:• Hot Tubs (59%) → +$16,834/year • Fire Pits (34%) → +$2,276/year • Home Gyms (11%) → +$8,004/year • Saunas (6%) → +$8,839/yearThe biggest takeaway? Bend is still lightly amenitized compared to many other STR markets.Some amenities—like pickleball courts and game rooms—are so rare they barely show up in the data, meaning investors who add them could dramatically differentiate their properties.If you're investing in Bend or considering a mountain market, this episode breaks down the amenities that can give your property a competitive edge.Need help finding the right property?

Halloween is here, and Open Space Radio is celebrating with one of our most hauntingly fun episodes yet. In this special episode, we sit around the virtual campfire to share a few eerie tales from park and recreation professionals. From ghostly encounters in historic parks to strange happenings at community events, this episode is packed with stories that remind us how our parks come alive (and sometimes come back to life) after dark. Halloween Celebrations Across the Country Before diving into the stories, we highlight some of the incredible ways communities are celebrating Halloween this year. In Denton, Texas, for example, the city celebrates all 31 days of October with more than 300 events and 30 placemaking experiences, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors downtown. Cobb County Parks in Georgia brings the scares with its ever-growing haunted house event, which has expanded into a seven-day attraction boasting 17,000 square feet of spine-tingling fun. And in Rutland, Vermont, a legendary Halloween parade continues its decades-long tradition of bringing the community together. True (and Truly Spooky) Stories From the Field The stories that follow are first-hand accounts from professionals who have experienced things that defy easy explanation: The Whistling at the Senior Center: In Wyoming, Michigan, a staff member setting up for an event alone on a Saturday heard whistling echoing through the darkened building, even though every door was locked. Elise's Watchful Spirit: At Farrel–McWhirter Park in Redmond, Washington, longtime staff have grown accustomed to the lingering presence of the park's original owner, Mrs. Elise Farrel–McWhirter. From flickering lights to the scent of pipe tobacco wafting through empty rooms, her spirit seems to remain as she lovingly watches over the land she donated more than a century ago. The Fire Pit at Great Pond: In Maine, a routine maintenance check took a terrifying turn when a park and recreation professional found himself face-to-face with a family of baby skunks and a very protective mother. This suspenseful (and slightly comedic) tale proves that not all scares are supernatural! The Ghost in the Mist: During a New Year's Eve event in Belfast, Maine, a director captured what appeared to be a face (and a specific finger) in a mysterious mist that appeared during a community bonfire. The photo, still a topic of conversation at city hall, left her with chills that haven't quite faded.   This episode of Open Space Radio is sponsored by the American Sports Builders Association:The American Sports Builders Association (ASBA) brings together the experts who design, build, and supply the sports facilities that bring communities to life.

SHOW NOTES: Welcome to another great show here on The Money Pit, where we're always here to remind you that you can do it yourself, but you don't have to do it alone! If you're a DIYer, join us for this week's top home improvement tips, including: - Home Improvement ROI: We unveil the top five home improvement projects that deliver the best return on your investment, perfect for boosting equity and impressing buyers. Learn why fall is a great time to start these projects due to cooler weather and more flexible contractor schedules. - DIY Pavestone Fire Pit: Get a step-by-step guide to building a modern square fire pit using Ladera Wall Block from Pavestone. This DIY-friendly project requires no cutting or special caps, making it a perfect weekend upgrade to transform your outdoor space with a rock-solid, heat-safe feature. - Color Trends for 2026: We explore the latest trends in color strategy for 2026, focusing on warm, earthy color palettes like terracotta, ochre, and olive, as well as soft textural neutrals and restorative darks. - Preventing Frozen Pipes: As the fall chill arrives, we offer crucial advice on preventing frozen pipes by disconnecting outdoor hoses, shutting off exterior spigots, and insulating exposed pipes in unheated areas.   Q & A: - Robert from Michigan wonders if an air heat pump would be a more efficient heating solution for his older house with electric baseboard heat. A mini-split system is very efficient, but it's best to set the thermostat and leave it, using baseboard heat only as a backup for extra chilly days. - Mary from Delaware is replacing her 25-year-old shingles and asks about a replacement attic fan versus a ridge vent. We recommend a continuous ridge vent paired with soffit vents instead, since attic fans can pull air-conditioned air from the house into the attic and increase cooling costs. - Thurman from Arkansas has a blank wall and wants to know what's needed to install a new window. While it's a DIY-doable project for a smaller window, we suggest hiring a pro if he's not comfortable with disassembling and reassembling a load-bearing wall. - Steve needs guidance on repairing crumbling grout on his front stoop. We advise chiseling out the old grout and vacuuming loose debris, then using a Type M mortar that's recommended for its strength and applied with a piping bag.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

Can you safely have a fire pit or grill on your deck? We explore safety rules, product solutions, and why some setups void warranties.

SHOW NOTES: Hello there, Money Pit fans, and welcome back to the show where we help you make your good homes even better! Whether it's inside or outside, from your floorboards to your shingles, we are on your side! So give us a call at 888-Money-Pit to be part of the show. This hour, we cover a wide array of topics to help you protect your home, boost curb appeal, and even save you money. - Fall Cleanup Checklist: Check off your “to-do” list with essential fall cleanup tasks to get your home ready before the cold weather sets in, from gutters and gardens to garages and gear. - DIY Fire Pit: Turn up the heat in your backyard by easily building a beautiful and durable fire pit in minutes using Pavestone products. - Shower Mold: If you're dealing with a "fuzzy" shower, we'll walk you through the steps to safely remove old moldy caulk, prep the area, and reapply a fresh bead that will resist mold and mildew for years.   Q & A: - Michelle in Minnesota has moisture coming up through her laminate bathroom floor on a concrete slab. We advise checking exterior drainage and adding a bathroom vent fan or humidistat to address the issue. - Glenn in Florida asks about borax-treated cellulose attic insulation to control Formosan termites. While the idea isn't new, its overall effectiveness for whole-house Formosan termites is less common. - Grace has concerns about her 40-year-old concrete patio, which is discolored, raised, and dangerous. We suggest restoring the loose bricks and applying a finish, such as a stone veneer, thin pavers, or an acid stain, terrazzo, or slate treatment to the surface. - Wally is redoing his sunroom and is worried about the unevenness of the old, cracked concrete floor. We recommend using luxury vinyl plank or hybrid stone flooring, which can float over existing cracks, and sealing those cracks. - Pat in Arkansas discovered that her new heat pump was not effectively removing humidity from her home. We explain that a whole-house dehumidifier integrated into the HVAC system is the most effective solution for maintaining ideal home humidity levels. - Greg in Delaware needed help removing lime scale buildup on his shower door that resisted standard cleaners. We suggested a simple test with white vinegar to see if it's true lime scale or if the door's surface might be etched. - David has questions about his crawl space insulation that's falling down, insulating the walls, and the use of old foundation vents. We recommend supporting the existing insulation with wires and keeping foundation vents open for about nine months of the year to allow moisture to vent.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

Then, transform your backyard with a DIY fire pit that's made easy with Pavestone building blocks. Plus, get expert answers to more home improvement questions for your next project! - Solar Panels: Sunny savings or sunken costs? Learn the truth about the ROI of rooftop solar panels. - Natural Cleaner: Clean up the savings with a natural dish soap recipe for bubbles on a budget. - DIY Fire Pit: Rock your yard with a DIY fire pit using simple stone building blocks.   Q & A: - Concrete Slab: Should Lee reinforce a poured concrete slab with rebar? It can't hurt, but may not be needed if the soil base is prepped right with a mechanical tamper. - Cement Floor: Linda wants to refinish a cement floor in an industrial area. She'll need to scrape off any existing paint and then apply epoxy paint to seal the surface. - HVAC: The second floor is always either too hot or too cold. Most heat loss is caused by leaky ducts, so David should have a sealant applied to make the HVAC system more efficient. - Tree Roots: Big tree roots are in the way of a new deck. Nancy will need a stump grinder to remove the roots and can use fewer points of contact for the deck foundation. - Fireplace or Stove: Matt wants to replace an ugly hearth fireplace with a wood stove. We recommend getting some structural advice to avoid affecting the chimney integrity. - Linoleum Flooring: Mindy's old linoleum floor is peeling. She should pull up the linoleum and any other layers under it before installing a new floor. - Foundation Leak: Water is pooling between the foundation and a retaining wall, then seeping into the basement. Richard should intercept the runoff with a curtain drain. - Insulation: Steve is curious about radiant barrier insulation, which is designed to reflect UV rays. We explain concerns about overheating and shortening the life of his roof.    ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question? We'd love to help!
