Many DIY Projects start with a spark, an idea, on making your home better and more efficient. Or after a weekend of binge watching those 30 minute DIY makeover shows. But not matter where your inspiration comes from Fix it 101 is here to help. Today we look at common DIY injures and how you can avoid them. Also what projects require a permit before you start working?  But as always we want to hear from you.

HOSTS: Lacey Alexander, Pam Pybas, ASHI certified inspector at Inspect It Like a Girl and special guest Pam Rogers.
TOPIC(S) DISCUSSED: It's the double-Pam show! Jeff is out this week so we brought in Madison County-based interior design guru Pam Rogers to talk about design elements and how a designer works to help you live in the home of your dreams. We also get an update on the dishwasher conundrum from the last episode and talk about smoking indoors (bleh)!

TOPIC(S) DISCUSSED: It's an open-topic show this week so any chances of staying on a certain subject are out the window, BUT we do open the show with a mystery that Pam needs help with and some things that irritate Jeff. Other topics include Bondo and cleaning plumbing spaces (which Lacey particularly did not enjoy.)
