Keen Utility just pulled the plug on its Portland manufacturing facility, and honestly, it's not the shocking twist we were hoping for in the plot of "Life in the West Coast." Eric G dives into the nitty-gritty of why this closure is more than just a corporate shuffle; it's a head-scratcher reflecting the bigger picture of Portland's rising costs and urban chaos. With Keen's shift to Kentucky for a snazzier, more automated setup, he raises some eyebrows about what this means for the local job market and the whole “Made in USA” tag. It's a classic case of businesses chasing greener pastures, while Portland's own challenges seem to pile up like laundry on a Sunday afternoon. Let's unpack this bumpy ride through the world of work boots and city politics—because if we can't laugh, we might just cry!This week, we're diving into some pretty big news: Keen Utility has decided to close its manufacturing facility in Portland, Oregon. Now, why would they pull the plug on a local gem? Well, it seems like the winds of change are blowing through the economy, and not everyone is weathering the storm too well. I'm chatting about the current state of home improvement and how it's affecting businesses like Keen, along with a peek into the struggles contractors are facing. So, whether you're a DIY aficionado or just curious about the latest trends, stick around as we unpack this development and what it means for all of us!A significant shift in the landscape of home improvement manufacturing occurred this week with the announcement that Keen Utility has decided to close its manufacturing facility in Portland, Oregon. Eric G dives deep into the implications of this decision, exploring not only the immediate effects on local employment but also the broader economic trends that might have influenced Keen's move. He humorously notes that while Portland is known for its quirky culture and vibrant arts scene, the reality of operating a manufacturing facility there may not have lived up to the dream for Keen. From rising costs to logistical challenges, Eric paints a picture of a company caught between the ideals of local production and the realities of modern business. As he elaborates on the economic landscape, Eric highlights that while places like Lowe's report a spike in sales, the overall sentiment in the construction and home improvement sectors seems to be one of caution. Homeowners are opting for upkeep rather than major renovations, which leaves contractors in a bit of a bind. Are we witnessing a slow-motion repeat of the 2008 crash? Eric encourages listeners to be mindful when hiring contractors, emphasizing the importance of choosing those with a solid track record. With a mix of wit and wisdom, he reminds us that navigating this ever-changing market requires not just skill, but a keen sense of awareness.Takeaways: Keen Utility's decision to close its Portland manufacturing facility reflects broader economic pressures affecting the home improvement sector. Eric G discusses how many homeowners are focusing on maintenance rather than big projects, hinting at a cautious consumer attitude. The podcast highlights the importance of hiring experienced contractors, especially in a tough economic climate where many are struggling. A recent Lowe's earnings report indicates some stability, but Eric warns that not all areas are thriving in the current market. Keen Utility's recent decision to close its Portland manufacturing facility sends ripples through the community, sparking conversations about the broader implications for local economies and the work boot industry. Eric G dives deep into the heart of this issue, reflecting on his long-standing relationship with Keen Utility and how the shift in manufacturing strategies speaks volumes about the economic landscape on the West Coast.

I've been cleaning homes since 2006 and have noticed a dramatic increase in home security as technology improves. Alarms have gone from wired to wireless. Cameras surveil various angles and locations of the home. Garages have keypads. Families are more secure than ever and they can do so at an expense less than it used to cost. This happens so predictively that economists give it a name.The early adopters pay the most like cell phones in the '90s or tvs in the '50s. Once the technology reaches critical mass (around 10% market penetration), the technology floods the market until it cheapens with market saturation around 90%. This is called 'S-Curve' economics. As a side note, this is a fascinating phenomenon to study. Home security has undergone the same S-curve. Check out this statement from a recent article on the state of home security."Around 20% of homes in America have security systems, but this percentage is expected to increase over the next five years. In fact, experts predict that the number of homes with security systems will increase by 64% in that time period."The early adopters of home security were in the '70's, '80's, and '90's. It took 40 years for home security systems to reach 10% market penetration or critical mass. It has taken roughly 10 more years to go from 10% to 20% of all homes secure in the US. This article predicts a jump to over 80% in the next 5 years! That's an 'S-curve' for sure! But I ask you. Is this normalizing effect causing homeowners to feel over-confident?Unfortunately, I've noticed another trend. Homeowners are forgetting to lock their windows at an increasing rate. I'm a detailed house cleaner and clean complete kitchens and bathrooms, baseboards, wood trim, light switches, window ledges & sills over the course of time. I treat every client as if I was cleaning for my own family. Therefore, I'm a noticer! One of my clients was away for 5 days vacation and scheduled cleaning on the day of their arrival home. While I was there, I noticed that all 4 windows on the first floor were unlocked! These 4 windows happened to be the ones to the left and right of the front door on the porch. This discovery made me uneasy, so I locked them and notified the family. They were so thankful.I notice unlocked windows more often in upstairs bedrooms. However, you'd be surprised how many windows I've locked in my 15 years cleaning houses on the first floor! I'm not a psychologist, but I will hypothesize. We are placing too much trust in our technology. Many homeowners in suburbia believe that their neighborhoods are safe. Therefore, they can leave their car doors, front doors, and windows open. If there was an intruder, the alarm system would pick it up. I learned recently from a bank professional that criminals are getting smarter too. They are not the Water Bandits from "Home Alone" that can be thwarted by a 7-year-old boy with lots of toys, tacks, and tar. These criminals are timing their crimes to steal from moms while they drop off kids at daycare. They target shopping parking lots. And they target the most "trusting" homeowners. I'm sure this is not new to anyone reading this.Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School website

In this conversation, OP Almaraz and Paul Brady discuss the complexities of wildfire risk and insurance. Paul shares his unique background in wildfire mitigation and how it informs his work at Green Shield Risk Solutions. They explore the challenges of modeling wildfire risk compared to other perils, the importance of understanding wildfire behavior, and the innovative solutions being developed to assess and mitigate these risks. The discussion emphasizes the need for better communication and understanding between insurance providers and homeowners regarding wildfire risks and safety measures. In this conversation, Paul Brady and OP Almaraz discuss the complexities of insurance coverage in wildfire-prone areas, emphasizing the importance of community efforts, vegetation management, and the role of designations like Firewise. They explore the challenges faced by homeowners with high-value properties, the dynamics of the real estate market, and the future of insurance models in the context of increasing wildfire risks. Innovations in insurance products aimed at high-value homes are also highlighted, along with the need for standardized mitigation practices to restore confidence in the insurance market.   Highlights:   Paul Brady has a unique background in wildfire mitigation and insurance. There is a significant gap in the insurance industry's understanding of wildfire risk. Wildfire risk modeling is more complex than modeling for other perils like floods. Wildfire behavior is influenced by topography, weather, and fuels. The radiant heat from a wildfire can cause significant damage to nearby structures. Green Shield Risk Solutions aims to make homes more insurable against wildfires. Their technology utilizes updated aerial imagery for risk assessment. Homeowners can order wildfire risk reports directly from Green Shield. Defensible space around properties is crucial for wildfire safety. Community efforts are essential in mitigating wildfire risks. HOAs can benefit from hiring firms to visualize community impact. Firewise designation can positively influence insurance coverage. Reducing vegetation can lower risk assessment models over time. High-value properties face unique insurance challenges post-wildfire. The real estate market is affected by insurance availability and risk perception. Wildfire risk is becoming a nationwide concern, not just localized. Insurance companies are hesitant to insure properties in high-risk areas. Standardizing mitigation practices is crucial for restoring insurance confidence. Innovative insurance products are being developed for high-value homes. Community efforts in wildfire mitigation can lead to better insurance outcomes. Closing Thoughts This episode of All Things Wildfire serves as both a wake-up call and a guidepost for navigating wildfire disasters. Remember, preparation and community effort are key to reducing future risks. For more tips and updates, follow us on social media and visit our website.
