Hiring a contractor can be scary. Each state and even city can have different rules for contractors. Here is my take on the steps you should take before you hire one. There are plenty of great contractors so if you follow these steps you will have a greater chance of pulling out those bad ones.

I think most of us will agree that it feels good to think about warmer weather and spring. Outdoor living is one of the hottest areas of a home that is expanding and giving people more living space. We talk with Jim Haas from Blaze Outdoor Products about all the things you can do with that space from grills to refrigeration to outdoor cabinetry. Plus, we will dive into planning that space later in the show.

This has been a wild week across the country with weather. However, with our push for electric vehicles it has exposed an Achilles Heel to recharging that vehicle. In my area and in many others this week there have been massive power outages. At my house we were down for about 5 days. I am one of the lucky ones as I know of plenty of people that might have another week before they get service. If you had decided to run a fleet of electric vehicles you would have probably a day of power and then you would have been shut down. That could be crippling to your business if you can’t send your team out.

I am far from an electric vehicle hater as I would love to be able to produce my own fuel for my personal use and not have to depend on another company. Let’s talk about today where the problems are and what I think needs to be fixed BEFORE you transition over to an electric vehicle fleet.
