The HOME hosts discussed the impending winter storm forecast for the weekend, sharing preparation tips like stocking up on groceries early and clearing snow and ice from garage doors. They exchanged practical advice for extreme cold, such as Dan Taylor’s suggestion to let faucets drip to prevent frozen pipes and the recommendation to put HVAC systems into "emergency heat" mode. The hosts also emphasized pet safety, warning listeners to limit outdoor time and clean paws to remove toxic ice melt and antifreeze.

Rich Gilman, the "Law Dog" with Day Law Group, joined the show to discuss "Estate Planning 101" and its importance for every adult regardless of asset size. He explained that essential documents like a power of attorney can prevent costly "nuclear options" like court-ordered guardianship if someone becomes incapacitated. Gilman advised listeners to keep original documents in a central, known location and noted that major life changes—such as children reaching adulthood or selling a home—are the best times to review and update a will or trust.

Dan Taylor of Kidd's Restoration and Cleaning Services offered home maintenance tips, including a unique method for local red clay: let it dry completely before vacuuming to avoid pushing the stain deeper. He also warned about asbestos in older homes, stressing that renovation projects involving undisturbed 1960s-era floor tiles or pipe insulation require licensed professionals for safe removal and air clearance testing.
