We love our mid-century houses for many reasons - their enduring design, clean lines and great indoor/outdoor connections. But MANY mid-century homes, both modest and high end, share one glaring omission. They lack of a proper mudroom. This design flaw often vexes my clients and students. Our families and pets come with a whole lot more "stuff" than they did in the 50s and 60s!

So grab your toolbox and tune in for a rollercoaster ride through the current housing landscape and some cheeky money-saving hacks!If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the home improvement process, you're not alone!

Mid-century homes often have a poor connection to the garage. This is largely due to early building codes and a very real fear of fire and chemicals, which led to a deliberate separation between the living space and the garage. Breezeways, covered but open-air spaces, were one solution to provide a covered path from house to garage. Today, however, our need for convenience and a dedicated space for daily clutter has made the breezeway to mudroom conversion a hugely popular project.In Today's Episode You'll Hear:Why your mid-century ranch was probably not originally connected to your garage. What to consider before you decide to convert your breezeway into a mudroom.  How to determine which type of breezeway conversion could work best for you.  Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2201Want us to create your mid-century master plan?

Make sure to take a walk about your home. Look for leaks, loose gutters, cracked concrete and more. Water can get in places you least expect.

In today's pages of Talmud, Avodah Zarah 46 and 47, the sages continue their conversation about idol worship. Their discussion is far reaching; what happens when your home shares a wall with a place of idol worship? What if the wall collapses? Can that space next to that shared wall be used for, say, a bathroom? Listen and find out.

SHOW NOTES: Hello and welcome back to the Money Pit Home Improvement Show! I'm Leslie Segrete, joined by my amazing partner-in-crime, Jim Kenzie. We've got a fantastic hour packed with valuable insights and solutions for your home improvement woes, from floorboards to shingles, inside and out. It's been quite the summer here at the Segrete household, with unexpected repairs, so we know exactly what it's like to navigate your own "money pit" moments. Here's a recap of the main themes and calls for this hour: - Optimizing Outdoor Living & Landscaping: We delve into smart maintenance tips for your in-ground sprinkler system to conserve water and keep your lawn healthy. We also introduce the innovative Ladera stackable stone system for easy outdoor upgrades like fire pits and garden beds, eliminating the need for traditional stonework. - Navigating Home Renovation Costs: We discuss how recent tariffs on lumber, appliances, and fixtures are impacting renovation budgets, sharing crucial tips for smart homeowners to protect their bottom line. - Boosting Home Value & ROI: We reveal the top home improvement projects that offer the best return on investment, helping you prioritize where to spend your renovation dollars.   Q & A: - Dave from Maryland discovered his new roof was installed directly over significantly rotted roof rafters, causing the section to sag and leak. We advise him to pay only a partial amount of the bill, formally disputing the quality of the incomplete work in writing. - Courtney in Texas is struggling with a persistent cigarette odor in her home despite extensive renovations. When carpet was replaced, the plywood subfloor should have been sealed with a primer/sealer, and we suggest upgrading her HVAC system to effectively scrub residual odors from the air. - Frankie called about her old, gray kitchen countertop that she wants to replace or paint. We recommend DIY countertop finishing kits from Daich Coatings for a durable and attractive restoration. - Rick from Illinois is seeking a reputable company to install solar panels on his large lot. We caution him to conduct thorough research on all available government incentives and to carefully vet any solar companies to avoid rushing into a significant long-term investment. - Tony emailed about an elaborate method he devised using a shop vac to remove calcium deposits from his water heater's bottom element. His method was unnecessary and could be risky. The water heater's internal drain valve is designed for this task, requiring only a garden hose to flush out the deposits.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

Documenting what you've designed is a key element to bringing a remodel to fruition.  I could have called the last stage of the master plan method Document.  But I didn't.  I called it Develop.  And that's because your vision is subject to change until the last bit of construction dust has been cleaned away.  I'm taking July off from recording the podcast this summer but that doesn't mean YOU have to. In fact, I'm actually pretty excited about what I've got planned for you.  I took a dip through our deep archives  (did you know we have over 250 episodes recorded) and pulled together some throwback episodes that have great content but may be SO FAR BACK in your podcast feed that you're unlikely ever to hit them. For these four weeks  I've chosen some fun episode pairings from the past that will take us on a little spin through the master plan method.

If you've ever believed that just because something's sold at a big box store it's safe or effective, then prepare to have your mind blown (or more accurately, your misconceptions dismantled) by Eric G. in this episode of Around the House! Eric has curated a list of the top ten home improvement myths that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about fixing up your abode. The first myth Eric tackles is the classic idea that products found in home centers meet all building codes. Spoiler alert: they often do not! With his trademark sarcasm, Eric warns us about those vent hoods that recirculate air like a bad sitcom rerun. But wait, there's more! As we continue our journey through this myth-busting list, Eric hilariously points out the irony of trusting advice from self-proclaimed DIY experts who haven't seen a doctor in decades. And just when you thought you could trust your uncle's plumbing skills, Eric dives into the murky waters of contractor rates, unpacking the costs that go into hiring a professional. He shines a light on the reality that many skilled tradespeople charge a pretty penny not because they want to rip you off, but because of the real costs associated with running a small business—think insurance, tools, and that ever-elusive ‘cost of living'. It's refreshing to hear Eric break down these costs while keeping the tone light and entertaining. To wrap up the episode, Eric brings us back to earth with a look at online shopping for home improvement needs. Sure, it can save you money, but it also might leave you with a knockoff faucet that's more trouble than it's worth. With a blend of laughter and practical advice, this episode makes it clear that while myths can be fun to debunk, the truth can save you a lot of headaches (and cash) in your home improvement adventures. So grab your tools, put on your thinking cap, and get ready to tackle your next project with Eric's sage advice!Takeaways: Just because you can buy something at a home center doesn't mean it's code compliant, folks. Ignoring asbestos is like playing with fire, but hey, who needs lung health anyway? Plumbers and electricians aren't just robbing you blind; their rates are due to legit costs, not highway robbery. Online deals might save you money, but remember: if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Let's kick things off by spilling the tea on cabinetry, shall we? Eric G, the cabinetry connoisseur with 35 years of experience, rolls out his top 10 commandments for kitchen and bath cabinetry like it's the gospel truth. And trust me, he knows his stuff! Our buddy Eric starts by emphasizing the absolute necessity of hiring a certified kitchen designer—because, let's be real, your DIY dreams can quickly turn into a Pinterest fail if you're not careful. The wisdom here? A good designer isn't just a pretty face; they save you from making rookie mistakes that could cost you a fortune in the long run. As we cruise through the commandments, Eric breaks down the nitty-gritty of cabinet construction. Spoiler alert: not all cabinets are created equal! Face frame? Frameless? Hybrid? Eric explains the pros and cons of each style like he's giving a TED Talk on cabinetry. He even drops some knowledge bombs about the importance of quality materials—because who wants a cabinet that falls apart faster than your last relationship? Moving on, our fearless host tackles finish issues, which seem to plague homeowners more than you'd think, often stemming from custom cabinet shops that promise the world but deliver a hot mess instead. Eric stresses the need for high-quality finishes, saying if a shop doesn't handle their own finishes, it's a red flag. You wouldn't buy a car and then take it to the paint shop, right? So why would you settle for less with your cabinetry? Buckle up, folks; this episode is a wild ride through the ins and outs of cabinetry that you won't want to miss!Takeaways: Hiring a certified kitchen designer is a total game changer for your cabinetry project, trust me, it saves you from rookie mistakes that can cost a fortune. Not all cabinets are built the same; understanding the construction types can save you valuable space and money in the long run. Prioritizing high-quality finishes is crucial because a cheap finish can lead to a hot mess in your kitchen or bathroom cabinets over time. Don't get too caught up in the shiny aesthetics; make sure your drawer hardware is reliable, or you might end up with a DIY disaster. Custom cabinetry doesn't automatically mean better quality; sometimes, the big brands offer superior construction and finishes without the custom price tag. Always get the details in writing before placing your order; unclear contracts can lead to major headaches and mismatched expectations later on.

In This Episode What happens when a teacher's heart meets a fintech visionary mindset? You get Jennifer Lau-Hatcher. In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Jennifer on her journey from education to launching 1 & Fund, a fintech company solving financing challenges in the home improvement sector. Jennifer shares how her time at Synchrony Financial shaped her approach to user-friendly training systems—like gamified learning modules built around mobile-first design. These early innovations laid the groundwork for the customer-centered, systems-driven company she would later co-found. As Jennifer and her husband scaled 1 & Fund, they quickly realized the power of processes and implemented EOS from the very start—even when it was just a three-person team. The conversation dives deep into why standardized procedures are the foundation of any scalable business. Jennifer also explains the strategic reasons behind merging with One Click Contractor to consolidate tech stacks and streamline the estimating-to-payment experience. Beyond the business, Jennifer opens up about her personal goals, including launching a podcast called The Conscious Creator Community and finally writing her long-awaited books. Whether you're in fintech, trades, or any growth-stage company, this episode offers invaluable lessons on combining systems thinking with mission-driven leadership.
