SHOW NOTES: Welcome to The Money Pit Home Improvement Show! Today, we've got a jam-packed hour filled with expert advice and practical DIY solutions for all your home improvement projects. Here's a rundown of the main topics and caller questions we'll be tackling today: - Instant Hot Water Solutions: We'll explore smart fixes like hot water recirculation pumps that deliver hot water instantly and can save you up to 17,000 gallons of water annually, including how they work, their cost, and DIY-friendly options. - Building Your Dream Patio: Thinking about a new patio for fall? We'll guide you through building a poured concrete patio from scratch using crack-resistant concrete, covering prep, pouring, and finishing techniques. - The Power of Composite Flooring: Discover why this next-generation flooring material is becoming a favorite for its stylish, affordable, durable, and waterproof qualities, perfect for any room, along with installation tips. - Fall Fireplace Safety: Before you light that first cozy fire, we'll discuss essential steps to prep your fireplace for safe use, including inspections, cleaning, and detector checks.   Q & A: - Nancy from Illinois is trying to build a deck but is battling massive tree roots. We advise her to consider designing the deck to require fewer supports or potentially having a tree company grind sections of the roots. - Colin is building a secure safe room and looking for a vault door. We suggest repurposing an old safe door or using a heavy-duty commercial steel door with multiple deadbolts, with an added tip on reinforcing cinder block walls with rebar and concrete. - Katherine has changed her lighting design for her basement and wants to know how to patch up old fixture holes. We recommend disconnecting any live wires, using ceiling plates if wires remain, or patching with drywall if the wiring is completely removed and dead. - Amanda from Pennsylvania just bought a 100-year-old home with beautiful original hardwood floors that squeak, especially on the stairs. We suggest locating and tightening the loose boards using specialized trim screws that won't back out like nails. - Sandy spilled hot wax on her carpet and upholstered chair and needs to know how to clean it. We gave her a clever trick: use a brown paper bag and a hot, non-steam iron to melt the wax, which then sticks to the bag for easy removal. - Jim (via email) asked if his new crawl space door needs to be weatherproofed like other exterior doors. We affirm that it absolutely does, recommending a drip edge, silicone caulk, and a solid coat of exterior paint to protect against moisture and damage.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

The September 19 edition of the AgNet News Hour wrapped up the week with powerful insights into California's most pressing issue: water. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill welcomed Edward Ring, Director of Energy and Water Policy at the California Policy Center, for what they called one of the program's “top powerhouse interviews.” The show opened with lighter conversation about the weekend ahead and then touched on national food issues, including McDonald's pledge of $200 million toward regenerative agriculture practices. Partnering with Cargill, Coca-Cola, and USDA, the company is funding projects aimed at improving rangelands and promoting more sustainable cattle production. While Josh and Nick joked about whether fast food could ever truly be “healthy,” they agreed that corporate investment in soil health and pasture resilience is a step in the right direction for agriculture. From there, the conversation turned to water, where Ring wasted no time laying out bold ideas. He argued that California's chronic shortages are not the result of climate change or drought trends, but of policy failures and regulatory overreach. “Water means everything,” Ring emphasized, noting that abundance leads to affordable crops, healthier cities, and stronger manufacturing. Among his proposed solutions: Dredging the Delta to restore deeper, cooler channels that would help salmon populations while allowing more efficient pumping of floodwaters. Forest management, thinning overcrowded stands to reduce fire risk and increase runoff by an estimated two million acre-feet annually. Desalination and wastewater reuse, powered by hydropower and even modular nuclear reactors. New and expanded reservoirs, including Sites, Shasta, and Temperance Flat, to capture rain and snowmelt during wet years. Ring also highlighted the political roadblocks, pointing out that California received $7 billion from a past water bond yet failed to build meaningful infrastructure. He believes federal investment, combined with private-sector innovation from Silicon Valley, could break the logjam if state leaders finally prioritize abundance over scarcity. For farmers in the San Joaquin Valley frustrated with half water allocations despite record rains, Ring's message was clear: the problem is manmade — and solvable.

Greg and Dan talk with Jason Chapman of Quality Water Solutions about the growing concern of lead contamination in Peoria's water supply — an issue that has gained enough traction to make Chicago news headlines. Chapman sheds light on how this long-standing problem is resurfacing, with historical roots dating back over 30 years. Illinois once held the highest levels of lead contamination in the nation, and it appears that aging infrastructure is now bringing those concerns back into focus. Chapman explains that several risk factors contribute to elevated lead levels, including the age of water delivery systems, older plumbing fixtures, and residential construction prior to 2014, when lead components were still commonly used in pipes, faucets, and soldering materials. To help residents determine if their homes are affected, water testing kits and sample collection services are available. These kits can detect whether lead or other contaminants are present in tap water. Chapman notes that while federal and state governments have funded pipe replacement initiatives, progress is gradual and the issue could take years to fully resolve. Beyond lead, water contamination includes other serious threats such as heavy metals, bacteria, and even microplastics. These additional pollutants further emphasize the need for comprehensive testing and long-term infrastructure improvements.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Georg Fischer (or GF) just announced that it divested its Machining Solutions arm for about 650 million Swiss francs to United Grinding Group and evaluated strategic options to do the same with its Casting Solutions division. Said differently, GF fully embraced its new trajectory: becoming a Water and Flow solutions company, with, on top of this, the ambition to become the World leader at that (starting from number two).Here's what I discussed with Mads:Why are companies like GF pivoting entirely toward water solutions?How does a traditional industrial company make a leap into sustainable infrastructure?Can the water market really sustain 8% growth?How do acquisitions fit into GF's $5 billion revenue goal?What makes water infrastructure a smart investment right now?How can investing in water align with sustainable goals?What's the "ketchup effect" in mergers and acquisitions?If you want to follow up with Mads, reach out to him on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/madsjoergensen/Key IdeasStrategic Shift in Water Sector: GF divested its machining solutions and plans to exit its casting solutions divisions to focus on water-related products. This pivot, welcomed by the market, positions GF as a pure-play water and flow solutions company in response to global water scarcity concerns, increasing the attractiveness of water infrastructure investments.Acquisition of Uponor: GF's recent 2.1 billion CHF acquisition of Uponor bolstered its presence in piping systems and set the foundation for a focus on water solutions. GF sees Uponor as essential to consolidating its market position and is pursuing acquisitions in similar companies to reach its revenue goal of 5 billion CHF by 2030.Market Fragmentation and M&A Strategy: The water market's fragmentation offers GF a path to scale rapidly through strategic acquisitions of companies between $75 million to $125 million, quickly integrating them to build a resilient, scalable business. This acquisition approach aims to make GF the market leader by capitalizing on economies of scale but mostly scope.Sustainable Investment Appeal: With investors increasingly focused on environmental impact, GF's shift aligns with sustainability and long-term profitability. Mads Joergensen highlights how water infrastructure is crucial for economic stability and environmental health, positioning GF as a high-impact investment opportunity that appeals to both financial and environmental investors.Global Expansion Plans: GF is aiming for geographic diversification with a balanced presence across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. This global reach, coupled with sector diversification across building, industrial, and infrastructure flow solutions, offers resilience and positions GF to capitalize on the growing global water market.Challenges and Caution in Water Innovation: Water technology has long development cycles, sometimes taking decades to reach market maturity. GF's approach focuses on proven technologies and scalable solutions, reducing exposure to riskier, early-stage innovations.Hey, and for the sake of full disclosure: this is NOT a sponsored episode (at all), but GF happens to be my employer when I'm not running this podcast

For nearly five years, water attorney Emily Lewis has been hosting a podcast on water issues with a special focus on solutions for the water-stressed US West. That podcast, called The Ripple Effect, has given her a view of something lawyers don't usually see — people working together to solve big problems.

The news is full of stories about global warming, climate change, and water and food scarcity, but what can we do to curtail the alarming statistics?  In this fourth episode of our series on water conservation, we dive into some of the innovative solutions to these ever-growing problems—from adaptive water reuse, vertical farming, and building smart cities and buildings to changing consumer behavior and harnessing space-age technologies.  Join us as Varun Kohli and Samantha Flores from Corgan once again team up with Aaron Tartakovsky, founder & CEO of Epic Cleantec, to discuss what we can do collectively as a society, and more specifically as architects and designers, to address the issues facing our most precious natural resource.

In this podcast, we strive to uncover and discuss pressing issues, and today's episode is no exception. As we conclude this series, we once again deviate from our usual format to address the final question posed during the 2023 Environmental Debate Live & Unscripted, held at The Bothy Vineyard, which was a live incarnation of this podcast in front of a real life audience.  That day Lyn asked - “What can you do to help stop the 100 million gallon/4 and a half mile diameter reservoir that is being proposed here on our doorstep? (South Oxfordshire, England) The destruction to the environment will be irreversible. Water transfer is a far better way, cheaper and less destructive.” Recently, during a talk they gave in Wroughton, Wiltshire, Stuart and William were informed by an audience member that permission had already been granted for the construction of a new reservoir. This news was unexpected for both Stuart and William, despite discussions about this reservoir spanning over three decades. The proposed reservoir aims to supply water to London. They took this news as hearsay. Stuart elaborates on the potential physical impact of this reservoir, drawing parallels with the Audenshaw Reservoir in Manchester. William adds that the reservoirs near Heathrow are comparable. In addressing the question of how to oppose such a proposal, Stuart emphasises the importance of a cohesive strategy, community engagement, and persistent advocacy. He notes that water companies often adopt long-term strategies, but encourages continued resistance and the exploration of alternative solutions to meet water needs. He highlights significant changes in water availability in Oxfordshire. Stuart stresses the need to improve our water consumption habits, pointing out that the construction of reservoirs is more complex than simply damming a river. He advises creative and informed disruptive actions, such as thoroughly understanding the plan and its potential impacts. William revisits the concept of NIMBYism, linking it to our resistance to change and the necessity of reconsidering our water consumption and wastage habits. What do you make of this discussion?

After graduating with a bachelor's degree in communications from Sacramento State University, Dan moved to Kerman, CA to work on a ranch for his now father-in-law. Working on his father-in-law's ranch, Dan learned quickly about the farming industry and realized his heart's desire was working with primarily almond, pistachio, grapes, and cotton. He also gravitated toward research, development, and applications primarily on nutrition programs, irrigation, water treatment, and regulations that come with the agricultural industry. In 2010, Dan took what he learned in the field and went to work for an irrigation company and began working with water treatment products and drip irrigation systems. It was there that he learned the importance of maintaining irrigation systems. Shortly after, Dan was intrigued and wanted to be part of the fast-growing company in Meras. In 2012, Dan went to work for Meras and quickly realized the relationship between water treatment management and service, and its effect on crop yield and crop health. Dan has helped Meras build a team of like-minded individuals with similar mindsets in doing what is right for the grower. Dan's “hands- on “experience allows him to continue to grow and learn about what is new in the industry. Water quality, irrigation systems, water related challenges are always changing. Dan is constantly keeping up with not only new rules and regulations, but also research and development on new products and equipment to properly treat the ever evolving water related issues. Dan is licensed by the Department of Agriculture as a Qualified Applicator in Aquatics. Additionally, he continues his education and licensing in irrigation maintenance, pumps, food safety, chlorine dioxide training, and water treatment chemistries. Dan started out installing equipment, servicing irrigation systems, and remediation micro irrigation systems. He has worked his way through the Meras org chart to involve service, sales, managing the sales team, President of Meras Water Solutions, and now CEO. His passion for creating a good customer experience continues to be his main goal in developing and improving water treatment programs. — This episode is presented by American AgCredit.

Overcoming Confusion and Misinformation in Meeting the Needs of Children on the Spectrum While I'm used to guiding health-minded audiences deep down the Rabbit-Hole of water topics, today's discussion with Karen will be light on science and heavy on practicality. It aims to explain the challenging path for families who are intent on providing the safest and healthiest water for children on the Autism Spectrum and other Special Needs. Choosing water for consumption (drinking, beverages and food preparation) and water for bathing water for your family is daunting task because of the minefield of misinformation and hype that is associated with suppliers of water treatment for consumers. You cannot trust the Internet, your local water dealer, big-box stores or persuasive TV promotions. It is unconscionable and embarrassing to me – someone who spent the past 50+ years in the water industry that it has has not kept up with the current state of water contaminants AND the growing assaults on the declining state of health of humanity. Based on decades of observing homeowner's selection of water treatment technology, I conclude that more than 80-90% purchase and install inadequate systems for their and their children's health needs. Introduction The human body is 50% to over 90% water by weight depending on the stage of life. Not too long ago it was revealed that if we were to segregate all the types of molecules that make up the body, H2O would amount to 99% of them! An adult body contains roughly 40 liters of functional water derived from more than a billion years of evolution in the sea. No other single factor had such a profound influence on the animal kingdom's biological design and function. There are two primary compartments in the body: The Extracellular fluid (ECF) and the Intracellular Fluid. So, our 50+ trillion cells are floating in the Extracellular fluid (the Terrain) and contained within them is the Intracellular fluid where all the action is. It is the biochemical quality of the Terrain that governs overall health. Virtually all the great physiologists over the past 2 centuries agree one central concept – “The Terrain Is Everything” Understanding healthy hydration and how to maintain it Maintaining proper hydration is not only about consuming enough water. In fact, consuming an excessive amount of water can interfere with optimal hydration. Many factors can jeopardize the body's ability to maintain healthy hydration (illness, diarrhea, excessive work or exercise in hot climates, an imbalance in the quantity and variety of electrolytes). Key indicators of dehydration are varied and can include Lightheadedness or dizzy feeling Dry mouth and tongue and cracked lips Less frequent need to urinate Muscle cramps Thirst Frequent headaches Fatigue or drowsiness Urine has a darker color Eyes more sunken than usual The key physiological measure in achieving proper hydration is having sufficient water inside our cells – referred to as intracellular water. Sufficient pure water with the proper quantity and mix of electrolytes is key to achieving optimal hydration. A very rough daily guideline for those in good health is to consume – as water or sugar-free beverages (e.g. coffee, tea, vegetable juices, etc.)...

Send me a messageIn this episode of the Climate Confident Podcast, I'm joined by Brian Sheng, CEO and co-founder of Aquaria, to explore a potential solution to water scarcity. Brian shares how Aquaria is tackling one of the most pressing challenges of our time by harvesting water from the air. We delve into the technology behind atmospheric water generators, which create clean water through condensation, akin to the droplets on a cold beer glass on a hot day.We discuss the practical applications of these generators, from individual homes to entire communities, and the potential for scaling up to cities. Brian highlights their initial projects in Texas and Hawaii, where homes are now fully powered by solar energy and generate water from the atmosphere. We also touch on the energy efficiency of these units and their integration with solar power to ensure a sustainable supply.A significant takeaway is the importance of water security and how Aquaria's technology can offer a fast, cost-effective alternative to traditional infrastructure. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in innovative solutions to climate change and water sustainability.Tune in to learn more about how Aquaria is making water scarcity a thing of the past.Support the Show.Podcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing supporters: Lorcan Sheehan Hal Good Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Devaang Bhatt Stephen Carroll Marcel Roquette Roger Arnold And remember you too can Support the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

With his new book "Water for All: Global Solutions for a Changing Climate" as the centerpiece of our conversation, we delve into the intricacies of solving one of humanity's most pressing challenges. Professor Sedlak highlights the evolving water landscape, characterized by six distinct but interconnected water crises that affect communities worldwide.

Advanced treatment technologies, managed aquifer recharge, and community-led initiatives are just a few themes explored, revealing actionable strategies and future-oriented innovations. Key Takeaways: Professor Sedlak identifies six separate water crises: water for the wealthy, the many, the unconnected, safe drinking water, growing food, and healthy ecosystems. He emphasizes the importance of innovative water management strategies, such as in-building water recycling and managed aquifer recharge, to combat these crises.

George Greene, CEO of Water Mission, shares grew up in a faith-driven family, the son of two water engineers and entrepreneurs. After a devastating hurricane hit Honduras in 1998, his family began to lay the foundation for Water Mission, building and installing water solutions in the country. The calling eventually led them to sell their thriving family engineering consulting business to serve those with poor access to water around the world. Water Mission has now served over 8 million people across 10 countries in 3 primary contexts: long term community development, disaster relief, and refugee camp stabilization. In each context, Water Mission partners with local churches to introduce the gospel and trauma-informed healing to those they serve. Every water solution also involves comprehensive community development and remote-monitoring technology to ensure longevity of each project. Water Mission has a strong culture of generosity. Their strong engineering background has not only allowed them to build high quality, durable water solutions, but has also enabled them to serve as a free engineering resource to other nonprofits working in the water space, eventually launching the Global Water Center. Their engineering origins have also enabled them to form many corporate partnerships to acquire components at discounted rates, which they freely share with other ministries as a partner distributor. Major topics covered include: Water Mission's origin story Strategies for community development, disaster relief, and refugee camp support The fusion of technical innovation and faith-based ministry Sustainability through community financial models and remote monitoring technology The power of collaboration on lasting impact QUOTES TO REMEMBER “We use water as an opportunity to build relationships with people that ultimately allow us to talk about who God is” “Our mission is to honor God by developing, implementing and sharing best in class safe water solutions, that transform as many lives as possible as quickly as possible” “As you look at Jesus's model for ministry, it was both word and deed, it wasn't one or the other.” The one thing that none of us ever had any control over is where we were born, and who we were born to.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Water Mission Halftime by Bob Buford Ron Blue Trust National Christian Foundation (see our interview with Area Director, Lance Wood) Life Shape Lead Like Jesus Mission Drift (see our interview with author Peter Greer) Rooting for Rivals (see our interview with author Peter Greer) American Bible Society Living Water Hope International (see our interview with founder, Jeff Rutt or CEO, Peter Greer) Global Water Center The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Mark 12:30-31 | Love Your Neighbor 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
