Is it really an episode? Hmmm. More of an announcement that WE'LL BE BACK in the new year... but there are also reminders on winter maintenance for your home!

Happy Hour part 2: Darylene Dennon, Kimberly Martin, Adriana Ramirez

What happens when you put four business owners and a banker in the same room??! A joyful Happy Hour discussion!

Amy & Alicia Healey welcome Darylene Dennon (painter/handyperson/business owner), Kimberley Martin (landscaper, hardscaper, deck builder, business owner), & Adriana Ramirez (VP at Banner Bank) to our latest "Happy Hour". How did they get started? What are the pros and cons of owning your own business? How to handle employees? How to get a loan for a new or existing business? NO TOPIC is off limits!

We've talked about water heaters before - mostly around maintenance - but today we go DEEP into water heaters. The different kinds, components, plumbing considerations, water main shut offs, and how to consider whether to repair or replace a failing water heater.

We also touch on best way to use a plungers and how a water closet auger works (when plunging isn't enough!)
