SHOW NOTES: It is officially December, which means temperatures are dropping, the holidays are fast approaching, and your to-do list is likely growing by the minute. Whether you are stressing about getting your home guest-ready or worrying about winterizing your plumbing before travel, we're here to help you tackle those projects without breaking the bank. - Winterizing Pipes: We share critical steps to prevent burst pipes, such as wrapping them in foam insulation and letting faucets drip slightly during extreme cold snaps to relieve pressure. - 2026 Real Estate Forecast: After years of high rates, experts predict a stabilizing market for 2026, with mortgage rates potentially dropping to around 5.9% and home prices seeing steady, modest growth. - Holiday Hosting Hacks: We discuss stress-free ways to prep your home for guests, including focusing cleaning efforts only on visible rooms, adding warm lighting, and using natural scents like cinnamon and pine. - Plumbing Safety Tip: We explain the importance of tagging your main water valve and turning off washing machine water supply valves before leaving home for extended periods to prevent flooding.   Q & A: - Debbie from Arkansas found liquid nails stuck to a brick wall behind old plaster. We advise covering it with furring strips or installing faux brick panels rather than ruining the brick by trying to remove the adhesive. - Rochelle from Delaware has a cracking, dipping concrete slab in her kitchen and received a pricey quote for foam injection. We suggest she consult a structural engineer first or use a floor leveling compound instead of jumping to injection. - Victoria from Arkansas asked if she could patch small areas of missing shower grout without redoing the whole wall. We confirm she can spot-repair it, but advise doing a test patch to ensure the new sandy grout color matches perfectly. - Darlene from Baltimore asked for insulation advice to block noise from a stairwell wall. We recommend opening the wall to install mineral wool insulation combined with sound-deadening drywall like QuietRock. - Brandon sent an email to ask about replacing two-prong outlets in a 1940s home. We strongly advise against DIY electrical work and suggest hiring an electrician to install GFCIs or verify if the boxes are grounded.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

SHOW NOTES: Welcome back to The Money Pit! Even with Leslie sporting a "brand new voice" (thanks, cold!), we're here this holiday weekend ready to help you fix up your home sweet home. Listen in as we offer tips on a range of home improvement topics and DIY dilemmas! - Choosing the Right Christmas Tree: We help you decide between a real or artificial Christmas tree, breaking down the pros and cons for each option, from the sturdy branches and fragrance of the Fraser Fir to the convenience and energy efficiency of pre-lit LED artificial trees. - Best Tool Gifts for DIYers: We share our favorite tool gifts for DIY enthusiasts from the Popular Mechanics holiday gift guide, featuring practical finds as well as fun gadgets that still get the job done. - Winterization Tips: We offer essential winterization tips, including shutting off and draining all outdoor faucets and hose bibs to prevent burst pipes. We also demonstrate how to find and seal drafts around windows and doors to help maintain heat and cut energy costs. - Healthier Indoor Air Quality: The show also featured tips for keeping indoor air healthier by filtering the air, keeping the humidity level between 35 and 40%, and installing and using exhaust fans in bathrooms.   Q & A: - Greg called in with a flooring quandary, attempting to cover 6,000 square feet of concrete with an epoxy coating. The proposed solution is to prepare the concrete first by leveling uneven areas, then choosing a quality epoxy product and following the multi-step curing process carefully. - Macy was seeking advice for starting a bathroom remodel and deciding whether to use a construction company or a remodeling business. We advise her to prioritize experienced contractors and first select all desired fixtures and materials so that all companies can bid on the exact same items. - Bryce was considering using a polyethylene panel/sheet to repair his bathroom ceiling and wanted to know if it was a good substitute for wallboard. We recommend he use water-resistant drywall (green board) instead for a seamless repair. - Marian reached out regarding a leak near her chimney and needed a product to coat it to stop water from entering. We suggest applying a vapor-permeable masonry sealer to the chimney structure, which seals out water while still allowing any internal moisture to escape.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

Welcome to episode 278 of Growers Daily! We cover: the idea of dirt mulches, the power of true citizenship and winterizing the irrigation.   We are a Non-Profit! 

In this episode of "Mike Dell's World," Mike Dell discusses the topic of "Getting Ready For Winter Up North." He starts with a humorous intro he found while digging through his files, reflecting on the absence of the Internet and video games during his childhood. Mike then dives into the essentials of winterizing for those living in northern climates, emphasizing the importance of preparing for below-freezing temperatures and snowfall. He mentions specific tasks such as winterizing campers by removing water and replacing it with edible antifreeze, which he explains should be flushed out in the spring. He continues by highlighting other important winter preparations, like placing snow shovels in accessible locations and ensuring ice scrapers and snow brushes are in vehicles for winter driving. He talks about getting snowblowers operational and servicing tractors, including changing fluids and preparing them for snow removal. Mike discusses the seasonal change of window air conditioners and reminds listeners to ensure their furnace filters are clean. He stresses the importance of checking propane and oil levels for heating and mentions that many people must also winterize boats and other equipment by running engines to remove water. In a light-hearted manner, Mike shares anecdotes about driveway markers to avoid losing track of the edges under snow and reminisces about the past when sand barrels helped drivers on the hills. He explains the need for snow tires and the 'summarizing' process that occurs in preparation for summer, such as changing oil for snowblowers and clearing debris. Throughout the episode, Mike shares personal stories, including the collapse of a portable garage due to heavy snow buildup, illustrating that even with preparation, unexpected challenges can arise. He concludes by noting that those who do not experience harsh winters may not have to deal with these kinds of winterization tasks. Finally, Mike teases the next episode's topic: the anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, hinting that there is more to the story than just the famous song associated with it.

Discover the joy of micro-adventures—small, spontaneous outdoor escapes that recharge your spirit without requiring weeks off or expensive gear. Adventure is closer than you think! Plus we talk about the woes of surviving Winterizing your RV/Camper. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Micro Adventures Finding Big Joy in Small Adventures Sometimes, the best adventures don't require plane tickets or elaborate packing lists—they just need a free afternoon and a willingness to step outside. Over the past year, I've become obsessed with what's known as micro-adventures. They're quick, local, and wildly rewarding. What Exactly Is a Micro-Adventure? A micro-adventure is a small, simple trip close to home that brings a sense of exploration and refreshment without the logistics of a full-blown vacation. Think sleeping under the stars in your backyard, kayaking before work, or driving an hour to hike a new trail. British adventurer Alastair Humphreys popularized the idea, but honestly—it's for anyone who loves the outdoors and wants to break out of their daily routine. For me, a micro-adventure might mean grabbing my binoculars, a thermos of coffee or hot cocoa, and watching the sunrise over the Knife River. It's not far, but it feels like a reset button for my brain. Why Micro-Adventures Matter We often treat adventure as something we have to “earn” through vacation time, money, or elaborate plans. But in reality, our need for nature and novelty is daily—not annual. Here's what I've found after making micro-adventures part of my monthly rhythm: They recharge your mental batteries. Even a two-hour nature break can shift your mood dramatically. They're accessible. You don't need fancy gear or tons of time. They spark gratitude. Exploring nearby landscapes reminds you how beautiful “ordinary” places can be. Winterize RV / Camper Tips  Tis the season to winterize that RV if you haven't already. Hopefully you have! However if not, here is a tip that's not shared, talked about... Creating Your Version Of An Owners Manual Hopefully your RV or Camper came with an owners manual, and if not... Now is the time to go online to print it off. Place it in a binder that stays with it. Why to do this? We all have lapses in memory but how you will build upon this owners manual will help with the selling of your RV / Camper too. Now that the camping season has ended, look back - and write or type up things such as: "What Needs To Be Done" before using again, in say the spring.  Maintenance, Replacements and/or Modifications performed. Include dates of oil changes, tires, water pump. Add Insight: every unit operates differently and comes with its own challenges, make it headache free for yourself trying to remember or give that next owner the understanding to confidently feel ready to roll down the road. We began our version the day our RV was purchased and continue to add to the binder which never leaves the camper. Constantly we are referring to updated Owners Manual, and thankful as it proves how easily we forget. OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

He acknowledges the irregularity of his podcast releases and shares updates about his other podcast, Podcast Insider, which will be resuming in November with a new co-host, Dave Clements. Mike discusses his recent activities, including winterizing both his and his mother's campers, putting away boats, and preparing snow removal equipment.

Despite the challenges, he reassures listeners that Blueberry Podcasting is continuing without interruptions. Mike shares how stress has affected his relaxation time, noting that reading often leads him to fall asleep rather than providing relief. He discusses his attempts to engage in leisure activities, including walking, but expresses reluctance to do so, feeling overwhelmed by a busy schedule. He recounts a recent family trip to Minneapolis for his nephew's wedding, where logistical concerns added to his stress. Mike reflects on how everything in his day feels scheduled and concludes that his time alone led him to spend the day watching YouTube instead of accomplishing more satisfactory activities. The discussion shifts to seeking suggestions from listeners on how to alleviate stress, as Mike expresses his desire for feedback. He shares that he's contemplating joining a gym but for different reasons, and he finds podcasting to be a therapeutic outlet. Mike also touches on the role of AI in podcasting, revealing that he has experimented with AI-generated content and observes the need for authentic voices in the medium.

SHOW NOTES: Welcome to The Money Pit! We're here every week to help you protect your biggest investment – your home sweet home – and make sure it doesn't become a bottomless money pit. We've got a busy hour planned, diving into seasonal home maintenance musts. Join us for today's topics, including: - Reclaiming Your Yard with Hardscapes: Learn how Pavestone products can help you ditch constant mowing, weeding, and watering while boosting your curb appeal. We'll discuss ideas for creating stunning, smart, and sustainable outdoor spaces. - Essential Garage Door Maintenance: The garage door is the biggest moving part of your home, and we'll share simple tips to keep it running smoothly, safely, and quietly before it becomes dangerous and expensive. - Winterizing Your Sprinkler System: Before the first deep freeze hits, we detail the crucial fall task of shutting down your in-ground sprinkler system to prevent serious and costly damage.   Q & A: - Margaret's home has ceramic bathroom tiles confirmed to contain lead, and she needs questions to ask contractors who seem unaware of safe removal requirements. We advise her to seek a contractor who is EPA certified in lead paint renovation or removal. - Gonzalo successfully reduced his home's air infiltration through air sealing, but is concerned there may still be leaks. We recommend using specific science to locate drafts rather than guessing. - Bobby in Virginia notices a small amount of water in his basement after heavy rains, which he suspects is due to hydrostatic pressure. We suspect the problem is caused by bad grading and drainage outside the foundation, and urge him to extend his gutters and downspouts farther from the house perimeter. - Lillian in Florida is dealing with worms that repeatedly crawl onto her screened-in patio! We explain that worms come out after heavy rain because they breathe through their skin and need oxygen when the soil gets too wet. - Allan in North Dakota wants to reseed his lawn and asked if seeding right before the snow falls is the correct timing. We confirmed that fall is the best time for reseeding, but advised him not to wait until winter is approaching.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

While falling snow may look pretty, it can also be pretty dangerous for drivers. Winterizing your vehicle is a good precaution as it can save you money on car repairs and help you stay safe while on the road. If you own a car, here are some tips to get it winter-proof if you haven't already.

To counteract this, consider putting winter tires on your vehicle. You can use all-season tires during the winter, but when it gets cold, the rubber in these tires hardens, decreasing the grip on the road. Winter tires use a special compound that can resist the cold and won't harden. Winter tires also have better traction in snowy and icy road conditions, which means that they have better acceleration and are better at stopping than all-season tires. However, winter tires can be costly. Winter tires can cost over $600, plus you'll have to pay for the tire-swapping fees unless you do it yourself. A cheap alternative is putting chains on your tires to help with traction.  Regardless of what tires your car has, you'll want to check the tire pressure. Tire pressures drop 1 pound per square inch, or PSI for short, every 10 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the correct tire pressure for your car in the manual or on the car door jamb. Another way to get your car winter-ready is to have the battery tested. Your car battery is essential for starting your car. Colder temperatures can affect the chemicals in the battery, which may result in a car having trouble starting or not starting at all. Consider buying a portable jump starter for your vehicle in case your car doesn't start due to low temperatures. Next, you'll want to make sure you have good visibility while driving. Check your windshield wipers to see if they are working properly, and don't leave smudge marks on your windshield. Fill up your windshield wiper fluid too. You can also get a hydrophobic repellant to add to your windshield, making scraping ice and snow off your car windows easier. Headlights are another thing to consider when winterizing your car. Snow can cause limited visibility when driving, but having a good set of headlights can help you see better, especially during the dark hours of winter. If you've noticed that your headlights aren't as bright as they used to be, you should get a headlight restoration kit or replace them altogether.  You should have a winter emergency kit in your car. If you get stranded with your vehicle, this kit will help you get back on your drive or at least keep you comfortable while waiting for help to arrive. In this kit, you should include a snow shovel, a snow broom, an ice scraper, a portable jump starter, warm clothing, including hats and gloves, blankets, a first-aid kit, a basic tool kit, traction mats, and flashlights.  If you're considering buying a car that's more suitable for winter, look for one that has 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive instead of front-wheel drive. Vehicles with 4-wheel drive and all-wheel drive provide better traction on icy roads than front-wheel drive vehicles.  If you decide to buy a more winter-proof car, Triangle Credit Union offers auto loans tailored to fit your ride. If you get into an accident, Guaranteed Asset Coverage, or GAP coverage, is designed to reduce or eliminate the difference between the insurance settlement and the loan balance. This protects you from owing more than the vehicle is worth. Mechanical Repair Coverage, or MRC, can help limit unexpected, covered repairs as your vehicle ages, potentially saving you thousands of dollars.  If you're interested in either one of these coverages, contact the credit union or visit your local branch to learn more.

Winterizing an RV is a critical task that can mean the difference between a smooth spring awakening and a costly repair bill. Eric Stark opens the discussion with a detailed examination of the common pitfalls that RV owners face when preparing their vehicles for cold weather. He emphasizes the importance of thorough preparation, explaining how neglecting to drain water systems or use RV-specific antifreeze can lead to catastrophic damage, including cracked pipes and ruined appliances. Throughout this segment, Eric provides listeners with practical tips to ensure their RVs are winterized effectively, including a comprehensive checklist that covers all essential components. This careful attention to detail is crucial for RV owners who want to protect their investment and enjoy their travels without the burden of unexpected repairs.The conversation then shifts to the joys of maintaining and enhancing an RV rather than trading it for a new model. Eric and co-host Alexis discuss how small upgrades and renovations can dramatically improve the RV experience. They share insights on budget-friendly projects, such as refreshing the interior with new paint or replacing outdated flooring. Alexis recounts her own renovation experiences, highlighting how these enhancements can make an RV feel more like a home. This segment encourages listeners to see their RVs not just as vehicles but as personal spaces that can be tailored to their needs and preferences, enriching their travels.The episode also introduces listeners to Guntersville and Mentone, Alabama, two towns that offer unique experiences for RV travelers. Guntersville, with its vibrant lakefront and local festivals, serves as a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Mentone, on the other hand, is presented as a quaint historical town with deep roots in the Cherokee Nation and Civil War history. Eric and Alexis emphasize the charm of exploring lesser-known towns, suggesting that these destinations provide more intimate and memorable experiences compared to larger, commercialized locations. By the end of the episode, listeners are not only equipped with practical winterization tips but also inspired to embark on new adventures, embracing the rich history and beautiful landscapes that smaller towns like Guntersville and Mentone have to offer.Takeaways:Proper winterization of your RV can save you from costly repairs in the spring.Consider local businesses for RV projects as they often provide better service and support. Simple updates like new flooring or paint can significantly enhance your RV's interior appeal.

In this episode the Handyman Pros give you 10 awesome tips to help you get your home ready for winter.  Winterizing your home is essential for protecting it from cold weather and saving on energy costs. Here are some tips for preparing your home for winter: 1. Seal Gaps and Cracks       Windows and Doors: Check for drafts around windows and doors. Use weatherstripping, caulking, or foam sealant to fill any gaps.     Attic and Basement: Insulate cracks in your attic and basement where cold air can enter.     Outlet Insulation: Place insulation pads behind electrical outlets and light switches to prevent heat loss.   2. Check and Service Heating Systems       Furnace Maintenance: Have your furnace inspected and cleaned by a professional. Replace the furnace filter to ensure optimal efficiency.     Chimney Cleaning: If you have a fireplace, clean your chimney to avoid fire hazards and improve heating efficiency.     Thermostat: Consider installing a programmable or smart thermostat to better control your home's temperature.   3. Insulate and Protect Pipes       Pipe Insulation: Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like basements, attics, or crawl spaces to prevent freezing.     Drip Faucets: In extreme cold, let faucets drip to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting.     Shut Off Exterior Faucets: Drain and shut off water supply to outdoor faucets and hoses to prevent freezing.   4. Inspect the Roof and Gutters       Roof Leaks: Check for any damaged shingles or roof leaks, as they can lead to costly repairs during heavy snow or rain.     Clean Gutters: Clear out debris from gutters and downspouts to prevent ice dams, which can cause water to leak into your home.   5. Insulate the Attic       Add Insulation: Increase attic insulation to keep heat from escaping through the roof. Proper insulation can save on heating costs.     Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup and ice dams.   6. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors       Replace batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, especially when using fireplaces or space heaters.   7. Check Windows and Curtains       Install Storm Windows: Use storm windows or plastic window insulation kits to add an extra layer of protection against the cold.     Heavy Curtains: Hang insulated or heavy curtains to block drafts and retain heat.   8. Inspect the Fireplace       Flue Inspection: Make sure the chimney flue is properly functioning and free of obstructions.     Fireplace Tools: Have fireplace tools, kindling, and firewood ready for use.   9. Reverse Ceiling Fans       Reverse the direction of ceiling fans to push warm air down into the room. Fans should rotate clockwise during winter.   10. Prepare for Snow and Ice       Snow Removal Tools: Stock up on snow shovels, de-icer, and sand for walkways.     Emergency Kit: Prepare an emergency kit with essentials like blankets, food, and flashlights in case of power outages.   Winterizing your home helps avoid costly repairs and ensures you stay comfortable throughout the cold season.   Watch us on YouTube (click here) Subscribe to our free newsletter, https://handymanprosradioshow.com/newsletter-signup/ Join our Facebook group @handyman pros Send us an email, questions@handymanprosradioshow.com.

In this episode of the Pints and Polishing Podcast, Marshall and Brian discuss various aspects of boat detailing, including winterization, maintenance, and the challenges faced by detailers. They explore the importance of educating customers about proper boat care, the realities of ceramic coatings, and the misconceptions surrounding sanding. The conversation also touches on the business side of detailing, emphasizing the profitability of washing cars and the value of training and education in the industry. Takeaways Winterization is often neglected by boat owners. Most boat owners do not take care of their boats after the season. Ceramic coatings are beneficial for winter storage. Detailing boats requires different techniques than cars. Education is key for customers to understand boat maintenance. Sanding boats is labor-intensive and not always profitable. Newer boats are easier to detail and more profitable. Washing cars can be a lucrative business. Training and education can help detailers improve their skills. Building relationships with boat dealerships can lead to more work.
