The level of poor workmanship is criminal as people have a great chance of getting killed with the lack of permits, engineering, and lack of construction knowledge.

There are a ton of great flippers out there. This episode is going after the ones that don’t fit in that category.

Painting can make things look fresh in your home. However, there are plenty of materials that if you paint them you will most likely regret days, weeks, months or years later. Here is my list of those things that really tend to go sideways when you try to paint them.

We start out with the first hour of the show with a caller with some tv antenna issues and then dive into a smart home fire, smoke, and carbon monoxide detector that is cool. Then we will talk about a new appliance for your home that could cut that dry-cleaning bill in half. Then we will dive into a good way to keep those online meetings on track with some new tech and then talk about a way to keep those tools safe and not in the hands of criminals…..or at least make them wish they never tried it.

Coming to a State near you! If you are in Washington State look at House Bill 1084. This bill will eliminate natural gas and propane from all homes by 2050. This will also limit gas companies hooking up starting in July of this year to a new home.

Let’s take a quick look at this proposed legislation and discuss how the $20,000 or more that will be placed on the homeowner to retrofit their home will affect most homeowners and low-income families.

Do you have that big 48” Gas range like I do? Go find an electric version of that…Yes that might mean a kitchen remodel. How about that barbecue? Hmmm That will go away as well.

Loving that gas fireplace this time of year? Say goodbye to that appliance. I am going to guess that most homes that have gas service are going to need a new electrical panel to support electric heat. I can see this being a $30k bill to the homeowner when its all said and done. If you see one state do this you will see many.
