In this episode of Home in Progress, sponsored by RepcoLite Paints and Benjamin Moore, Dan kicks things off with a lighthearted winter story before diving into two practical, surprisingly connected topics: organizing digital memories and choosing the right wood finish.The first half of the show tackles the growing stress of digital photo overload. Dan breaks down why our phones feel so cluttered, explains the critical difference between syncing and backing up photos, and outlines simple, realistic steps for freeing up storage while keeping important memories safe. Along the way, he introduces the “paradox of plenty” — why having fewer, more meaningful photos can actually help us enjoy our memories more.In the second half, the focus shifts back to the Winter Wood Shop with a deep but accessible look at lacquer and polyurethane. Dan explains how modern wood finishes evolved, the practical differences between oil-based and water-based polyurethane, and how recent VOC regulations have changed what's available today. He also shares application tips, common mistakes to avoid, and why polyurethane remains one of the most versatile finishes for real-world woodworking projects.The episode wraps up by connecting good materials, good habits, and good outcomes — whether you're protecting wood or preserving memories.RECOMMENDED READING & RESOURCESIf you want to go deeper, these articles and guides are clear and practical:Practical Guides for Photo Organization & BackupHow to Organize and Protect Digital Photos (The Photo Managers) — A professional's guide to consolidating, organizing, and backing up your entire library.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Lynette: I have Celiac Disease and worry about cross-contamination when eating at restaurants or friends' homes. People have suggested taking a gluten digestive enzyme, but I don't want to digest gluten. Is there anything I can take prior to eating that would rid my body of gluten, should I unknowingly come into contact with it? I'm a "silent celiac" so don't experience immediate GI upset, but instead suffer joint pain, headaches, and skin issues afterward. Living gluten-free out in the world is tough, so any suggestions to make things easier and safer are appreciated. Thanks!                                          Anonymous: I received a complimentary bottle of CBD Gummies -- thanks! Are there any contraindications with taking them? I'm thinking about them for my older parents, who are on the typical American old-age pharmaceuticals, including high blood pressure medication, statins, and Gabapentin. Will the gummies help with general aches and pains? Thank you.                                                                                                                                                                                            Sarah: I did labs through Equilife and found that my testosterone and DHEA were significantly low. For reference, I am a 49 year-old perimenopausal female. I started using about 8 mg of DHEA orally daily. (at that point I had 25 mg capsules I was splitting) Within three days of starting I had some longer lasting cystic acne on my face starting to appear. I gave it a few weeks to resolve and then began 25 mg of 7 keto DHEA daily and have had no acne breakouts at all. On my call with my IHP through Equilife to follow up from the labs, I was told that 7 keto DHEA is the same as regular DHEA and is likely just a marketing tool. Can you tell me why I reacted significantly different to the 7 keto DHEA? Several companies, some quite reputable sell it, do you recommend it in my case?                                              Anonymous: Hello, I appreciate the work you do, and would like your input to help me make a purchasing decision. I wanted to buy some Japanese selvedge jeans and notice they contain 2% Polyurethane. I had difficulty establishing whether the use of Polyurethane in clothing is harmful and wanted to know if you could direct me to resources which could provide me with more insight on this topic? Please let me know.                                                                                               Anonymous: I struggle with brain fog and low energy in the afternoons, even though I get enough sleep. Could this be related to blood sugar balance, and if so, what are some easy ways to stabilize it throughout the day?               Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3558 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Over 2,000 garbage trucks worth of plastic waste enter our oceans, lakes, rivers, and estuaries every day. Of the 300 million tons of plastic produced annually, only 10% is recycled. Due to the inertness and durability of plastic materials, current industrial recycling processes employ energetically demanding processes such as combustion and melting which further the global climate crisis by releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. As such, enzymatic degradation of plastic has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional plastic recycling approaches since enzymes operate under significantly milder and less energetically demanding conditions.

The fire that led to 39 deaths and nine injuries at a complex building in Jialeyuan community in Xinyu, Jiangxi province, on Jan 24 was caused by illegal construction of a cold storage facility in its basement, according to an investigation report released on Saturday.根据9月21日公布的一份调查报告，江西省新余市佳乐苑小区的一栋综合楼于1月24日发生火灾，造成39人死亡、9人受伤，起火原因是该楼地下一层违规建设冷库。Polyurethane foam sealant was used during construction at the first floor underground, releasing flammable gases that accumulated to reach combustible conditions. While laying plastic film on extruded polystyrene boards, static electricity was generated, igniting the gases, the foam and other flammable materials. It created a large amount of toxic smoke, according to the report approved by an executive meeting of the State Council.国务院常务会议审议通过的调查报告显示，地下一层施工作业中使用聚氨酯泡沫填缝剂时，释放易燃气体局部积聚达到可燃条件；在挤塑板上铺设塑料薄膜时，产生静电放电点燃积聚的易燃气体，迅即引燃聚氨酯泡沫、挤塑板等易燃可燃材料，产生大量有毒烟气。The smoke quickly spread to the second floor as the fire separation in the shared evacuation staircase between the basement and the ground floor was missing. On the second floor, students and teachers were having classes organized by a training institute. Because of the security nets and advertising boards outside the classrooms, they failed to escape on time, resulting in an increase in casualties.因地下一层与一层共用的疏散楼梯防火分隔缺失，烟气快速蔓延至二层。在二楼，师生们正在上培训机构组织的课程。由于教室外安装了防盗网和广告牌，他们无法及时逃生，造成人员伤亡扩大。The accident, which happened in the afternoon of Jan 24 caused a direct economic loss of more than 43.52 million yuan ($6.17 million).事故发生在1月24日下午，造成直接经济损失4352万余元（约617万美元）。An investigation team was established by the Ministry of Emergency Management, the Ministry of Public Security, the National Fire and Rescue Administration, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, and the Jiangxi Provincial People's Government afterwards.事后，应急管理部、公安部、国家消防救援局、全国总工会和江西省人民政府成立了事故调查组。The team found that the owner of the building illegally rented the basement floor, where construction of the cold storage facility was illegal. The building had significant deficiencies in fire prevention. The educational training institute and a hotel were operating in violation of regulations. The relevant local authorities failed to carry out supervision.调查组查明，涉事房主违法违规出租综合楼地下一层，冷库建设施工单位违规建设冷库。涉事建筑存在防火分隔重大缺陷，教育培训机构和宾馆违规经营，属地有关部门监管缺位。In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, the team suggested enhancing safety management of cold storages by regulating planning, site selection and on-site construction. It also asked for strengthened management of major places where multiple businesses operate.在接受新华社采访时，调查组建议通过规范规划、选址和现场施工建设来加强冷库安全管理。此外，调查组还要求强化多业态混合经营等重点场所安全管理。Efforts should be made to promote installation of "one-click alarm" devices in crowded areas and near evacuation routes, enabling a single press to trigger building-wide alarms and prompt responses from all occupants, it said.调查组建议，要大力推广在人员集中区域、疏散通道附近安装“一键报警”装置，实现一键按下，全楼报警、全员响应。It also addresses issues such as congested safety evacuation routes, poorly maintained fire safety facilities, inadequate safety exits, and potential hazards such as unauthorized security nets and advertisement boards.调查组还强调，要有效解决安全疏散通道不畅、消防设施未保持完好有效、安全出口不足、违规设置防盗网和广告牌等问题隐患。cold storage facility冷库，冷藏设施combustibleadj.可燃的evacuation route疏散通道potential hazard隐患，潜在的风险

That change did not mean the total elimination of lacquer/nitro finishes, it meant that nitro was used less, but at times was still used for topcoats, and it was nearly always used on the headstock after the CBS black logo was applied into the early 1980s.Special thanks to Dan Strain for making his 1957 Telecaster, and 1972 Stratocaster available, and of course for the use of his workbench.  #askzac #zacchilds #telecasterSupport the show

The process of rebuilding communities that have taken a hit during the weather events of this summer is going to be a long and arduous process. Tough decisions will have to be made. Personal decisions will have to be made. Do you want to go back and live in the place where your worst nightmare occurred? I'm thinking of the families whose homes came down in landslides, whose homes were flooded and had to flee in the middle of the night. And there are many Auckland families, and indeed Hawkes Bay families, who have been flooded not once, not twice, not three times, but more than that. I'm thinking of the lovely lady who rang us who had been washed away in the floods, her home had been destroyed that they'd worked so hard on. Her mum was living with them - she had to go into a rest home because while they were in the process of rebuilding because it was cold and it was damp there was Polyurethane covering some of the walls so she couldn't live there.  So all of a sudden life changed. Well, I just wonder what happened to her in these latest floods, if she's been hit again, will she want to go back there?   A group of West Auckland homeowners, and this will not be the first group, has set up agroup asking authorities to step in and buy their flood affected properties so they can leave.  Basically, execute the managed retreat that's being talked about, a process where people are relocated and their properties are turned into parks or reserves. The campaign is backed by Te Atatu MP Phil Twyford who's been working with families in about eight neighbourhoods since the floods of 2021. A report found the flooding was partly due to blockages in the Waimoko stream, partly due to geography and the overpowering force of the one-in-100-year flood, which then came along in 2022. These one in 100 year events seem to be occurring far more often!  Should the same thing happen in Esk Valley? Should clifftop homes be part of a managed retreat, something like the King's chain, whereby the shoreline belongs to the public and you have access to the beach, the cliff tops are the same. You get access to the spectacular views and walk along there and houses are moved back from cliff edges. When we talk about buying back houses? That's the taxpayer. That's us trying to pay our mortgages as well as other people's homes. It might be the way to do it. I mean we are going to have to take a long hard look, not just stick a Band-Aid on communities, spend billions of dollars and then do it all again in another couple of years.   When it comes to the managed retreats and the rebuilding of communities, do we rebuild them in the same places? Do we restore homes and put people back in there after they've been flooded once, twice, three times? That doesn't seem like sane advice, when we're being told that the weather's only going to get worse. We're spending billions anyway, about every couple of years on natural disasters, or do people just have to cut their losses and clear out? And it's on the individual and not the community. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Algenesis is two companies in one, a biotechnology innovator and footwear maker. Making a new, sustainable material often requires the inventor to prove its utility before big companies will embrace it. Join the conversation for a story of discovery and finding a practical application to prove the value of a plant-based, compostable bioplastic foam. Stephen Mayfield, a professor of Biology at UC San Diego and director of the California Center for Algae Biotechnology, invented Soleic, an algae-based rubbery foam material that can be used in footwear, surfboards and other products in the place of petroleum-based polyurethane foam. He launched Algenesis, a biotechnology-based materials science company to commercialize the Soleic.But shoe companies did not come running to use Soleic, which biodegrades completely in sea water and compost piles. Along with Algenisis president Tom Cooke, a footwear and apparel industry veteran who had worked for Reef and Vans, Steve launched Blueview Footwear, maker of the world's first compostable shoe. Steve and Tom join me today to talk about the evolution of Algenesis and Blueview, as well as the many materials Soleic could replace across a variety of product categories. The companies have also developed compostable, plant-based fabrics and a bioplastic waterproofing technology that biodegrades into organic material in a home compost pile. You can learn more about Blueview Footwear at https://blueviewfootwear.com/ and its parent company Algenesis Materials at https://www.algenesismaterials.com/

How To Start a Commercial Roofing Company Most roofing contractors focus primarily on the residential roofing industry, but 95% of them would like to expand to more commercial projects if possible. Sometimes residential roofers will get a commercial job here and there and enjoy the short turnaround and significant payout. The problem is that they don't have the resources to get commercial roofing leads and the equipment to perform all commercial projects. This episode explains how to start a commercial roofing company. How To Get Started Residential roofers looking to expand into the commercial space should read our ultimate guide to commercial roofing marketing. Well-established websites can begin ranking for commercial keywords within weeks. Since the website already holds authority in the general niche (roofing), it can seamlessly extend into a specific category within the broader landscape. Writing high-quality service pages relating to commercial roofing categories is the recipe for organic search domination. But getting into the commercial space requires additional steps. Conklin Roof Coatings Several companies exist to help individuals and businesses get into commercial roofing. In the commercial roof coatings/restoration category, Conklin is one of the biggest names out there. Nolen Walker is the owner of Roofing Webmasters and a member of Conklin, so he can connect you with the contacts you need to become a commercial roof restoration expert. Commercial roof coatings are the best way to enter the commercial industry and expand your business to that sphere. Conklin members get paid to train you. Get in touch with a local Conklin distributor who will wind up receiving a small percentage of your payout. These distributors will walk a commercial roof with you so that you can make a bid. Why Does Nolen Know About Commercial Roofing? To learn more about his client base, Nolen became a member of Conklin roofing. It was a way to learn more about the craft of roofing to more effectively market the services. Most roofers will tell you straight up; they get frustrated by marketers who are so tone-deaf to their industrial language. While Nolen is not a roofer himself, he has more knowledge of the roofing industry than any competitor in the country. It's steps like joining Conklin that separate Roofing Webmasters from other digital marketing agencies, especially those who claim to specialize in service industries like roofing. We can have detailed discussions with clients. Nolen and his team at Roofing Webmasters are aware of different commercial roof types like Single Ply, EPDM, PVC, TPO, and different coating types like Acrylic and Polyurethane. It's all part of demanding the best of ourselves as a marketing company. It helps with: Client Conversions Company Branding Content Marketing Commercial Roofing Marketing Once you learn about commercial roofing jobs and have the resources to perform them, you must adequately market them.
