Ready to tackle fall projects without stepping on hidden landmines? We kick off with a hands-on deck build—why we chose two-by-sixes over five-quarter boards, used a camo jig to hide fasteners, and saved big by assembling stainless cable rails from components. Then we widen the lens to what really protects your home: how aluminum rails beat rust at the coast, when PVC makes maintenance easy, and why looks-versus-longevity is the trade you should decide up front.From there, we dig into the myths that cost homeowners the most in North Carolina. Flood risk isn't just for the coast—Raleigh and the mountains have real exposure, and flood policies cap out fast. We break down replacement cost versus actual cash value, the 80% insured-to-value rule, and why an annual call with your agent can save you tens of thousands when storms hit. Termites aren't covered by standard policies, slab homes get chewed more often, and a low-cost termite bond offers the inspection, treatment, and paper trail future buyers trust.We also draw a bright line on what to DIY: swapping a light is one thing, but bigger electrical work needs permits and documentation or it can trip fines and kill a sale. HOA power under North Carolina's Planned Community Act surprises a lot of buyers—think fences, sheds, paint, and pools controlled by covenants with daily fines. And if your basement “waterproofing failed,” it probably didn't; it's your gutters and grading. Watch your house during a rain, extend downspouts, and ensure positive slope. To wrap, we hit septic pumping schedules tied to real household load and how revaluations push taxes and insurance—plus how to contest assessments and right-size coverage.Subscribe, share this with a neighbor who loves a project, and leave a review with the one myth you're double-checking this week. Your question might shape our next show.

On one side, nearly half of all mortgaged homeowners are now equity rich—owing less than half of their home's value. On the other, affordability has reached its worst level in 14 consecutive quarters, with 99% of counties now less affordable than historical norms.

While traditional climate models predict where disasters occur, Faura's technology—trained on over a century of property data—identifies which homes are more likely to survive wildfires, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and hail. Partnering with insurance companies, Faura replaces expensive inspections with quick homeowner self-assessments, providing actionable recommendations from simple weekend fixes to major improvements. Valkyrie Holmes, CEO and co-founder of Faura, describes how the platform focuses on "survivability" rather than traditional weather prediction, helping insurance carriers verify property information while engaging policyholders in meaningful education about their risk. Through self-assessment tools that cover major peril the company has created a unique partnership model that benefits both insurers seeking better data and homeowners wanting to understand and mitigate their risks. Holmes discusses how this approach leads to better retention rates, more accurate underwriting, and ultimately safer communities through actionable mitigation strategies.Resources:Faura: https://www.faura.us/The Institutes: https://global.theinstitutes.org/Predict & Prevent website: https://www.predictandprevent.org/Sign up for our weekly Predict & Prevent newsletter: https://www.predictandprevent.org/newsletter/Faura's platform focuses on "survivability" rather than traditionalweather prediction, helping insurance carriers verify property informationwhile engaging policyholders in meaningful education about their risk.

Have you ever wondered what mysteries lie beneath your kitchen sink or above your ceiling? The answers could save you thousands. In this eye-opening episode of the Carolina Contractor Show, host Donnie Blanchard and his co-host Eric Smith, dive into the questions that keep homeowners awake at night—and the solutions that could prevent costly disasters.Drawing from decades of hands-on experience in construction and building supply, they tackle the uncomfortable truth many new homeowners discover too late: houses need maintenance, and repairs are inevitable. But how much should you budget? While the internet suggests setting aside 1-4% of your home's value annually, real life rarely follows such neat formulas. As they explain, you might go years without major expenses, then suddenly face a five-figure HVAC replacement. Their practical advice cuts through theoretical percentages to help you prepare for what matters.The hosts take listeners on a virtual tour of often-neglected inspection areas—from attics where disconnected HVAC ducts silently waste energy to crawl spaces where copper pipes quietly corrode from the inside out. These simple DIY checks could save you from catastrophic failures. Their discussion of water heater maintenance (never call it a "hot water heater" again!) includes emergency tips that could spare you extensive water damage when failure inevitably occurs.Perhaps most valuable is their candid conversation about pre-sale home repairs. Should you replace that aging roof before listing? The answer depends on market conditions and comparable properties. Their insider perspective on finding reliable contractors provides alternatives to online reviews that might actually connect you with quality professionals who won't break the bank.Whether you're a first-time homeowner trying to avoid expensive mistakes or a seasoned property owner preparing for your next sale, this episode delivers practical wisdom that online searches simply can't match.

New research finds that since 2010 killer heat waves have become 200 times more likely, thanks to greenhouse gas emissions, and the scientists say about half of the increase in heatwaves can be attributed to big coal, big oil, big gas and cement. Also, while the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has been relatively quiet, last year damages from three major hurricanes ran to over 200 billion dollars and claims have stressed homeowners and insurance companies alike. We hear about Florida homeowners facing rising premiums and the cancellation of their insurance policies.

In this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie wraps up his chat with Tyler Nelson from Sauermann Group. In Part 02 of their discussion on refrigerant leaks, sealants, and best practices in HVAC diagnostics. Diving deeper into controversial yet evolving topics, Gary and Tyler examine both the theory and field-tested realities of leak detection and system maintenance, shedding light on how technicians can balance practicality, ethics, and innovation in their everyday work. Tyler and Gary talk about how leak sealants in HVAC systems are seen differently now, with some techs testing them and finding they work well in certain cases. They explain how formicary corrosion causes small leaks that are hard to fix fast, and why sealants can be a good short-term option. They also cover how to properly check for leaks using tools, bubbles, and even just your hands. Tyler shares details about a new leak detector from Sauermann that works on modern refrigerants and is easy for techs to use and afford. This episode is full of real-world HVAC advice, smart leak detection tips, and honest talk about when and how to use sealants. It helps techs learn better ways to find leaks, choose the right tools, and keep systems running safely while saving time and money. Expect to Learn: The evolving landscape of refrigerant leak sealants: myths, facts, and responsible usage. Why visual and tactile inspection should never be replaced by electronics alone. How the Si-RD3 leak detector from Sauermann stands out in performance and affordability. The practical implications of formicary corrosion and when leak sealants can actually help. Insights on Sauermann's tool development process, including its new combustion analyzers and smart manifold system.

A couple turns a rent hike into a homeownership strategy, navigating relocation, pregnancy, and smart financial planning to land a 1923 farmhouse in Maryland.Chris and Niki's journey from Manhattan renters to first-time homeowners shows how strategy, timing, and teamwork can overcome the high costs of living in expensive markets. After learning their $2,900 Manhattan rent was set to jump to $3,800, they began planning to redirect that money into equity. A relocation to Silver Spring, Maryland, brought lower rent and proximity to work, but it was Niki's pregnancy that accelerated their timeline. With $300,000 saved, they split funds between a $150,000 down payment and $150,000 for renovations, ultimately purchasing a 1923 farmhouse for $675,000—$100,000 below asking. Smart lease planning, family carpentry help, and a unicorn real estate team made the process smoother and more affordable.“Get a unicorn team, rely on them, ask questions.
