Introducing 648: The 10 Best Side Hustles of the Year from The Side Hustle Show.

Follow the show: The Side Hustle Show

The end of the year is upon us, which means it's time to reflect back on the side hustles that stood out — the ones that got people talking and that I was most excited to share.

"Best" is always subjective. But what marks a good episode is when I hang up the call, thinking, "I need to drop what I'm doing and go do something else. I should totally do that."

And I try and exercise some level of discipline and restraint because the shiny object syndrome is real.

But when the shiny object shines for me, I know it's going to be a hit episode.

So here are the top 10 side hustles for 2024.

(Here is the Spotify playlist to make it easy to go add that to your device: Best Side Hustles of the Year 2024)

SHOW NOTES:

On this show, tackle top home improvement challenges by learning how to tell if your windows need replacing, conquering garage clutter to make space for your car, and uncovering the benefits of a home energy audit. Plus, listen in for more expert advice for DIY callers like you!

- Replacing Windows: These 7 key pane points will tell you when it’s time to replace your windows.

- Garage Space: Take back that parking space with tips for organizing your garage.

- Energy Audit: Learn how to improve your energy efficiency with a home energy audit.

Q & A:

- Plumbing: Are faucets from a big box store just as good as those from a plumbing supply store? Joni shouldn’t worry about quality if she’s still buying a good brand.

- Garage Doors: Frank’s garage door opener won’t close them. He can try doing a factory reset, but they may need to be replaced if they’re too old.

- Groundwater: It’s not worth the work involved for Shawnee to redirect an underground spring that keeps a small area of her yard wet.

- Water Heater: James noticed moisture inside the fiberglass insulation on his water heater. He gets tips for finding leaks, regulating the water heater, and installing a timer.

- Mold: Broken pipes inside the walls have caused a lot of mold. Sharaine needs to call a professional to safely remove the mold and avoid contaminating the rest of the house.

- Concrete: One area of Roy’s concrete driveway is tilting toward the garage. Mudjacking can lift and stabilize it as long as it’s done evenly and doesn’t crack the slab.

- Toilet: Patty’s toilet runs a few times each day and the water bill is going up. It’s an easy fix to replace the worn-out fill and flush valves inside the tank.

SHOW NOTES:

Got roof leaks, too much clutter, or chipped ceramic tiles? This episode offers simple steps to manage leaks, expert advice to declutter your home, and creative solutions for repairing damaged tiles. Tune in for your home improvement fix and more DIY advice!

- Home Organization: Clear your mind and your space with home organization tips to conquer clutter.

- Leaks: Learn how to minimize damage from a roof or plumbing leak.

- Ceramic Tiles: Try these handy hacks when you can’t find a replacement for broken ceramic tiles.

Q & A:

- Driveway Repair: Ed’s concrete driveway is starting to separate at the expansion joint. He gets tips on using a backer rod and urethane caulk to seal the gap.

- Structural Support: Mary wants to open up her ceiling rafters, but she should consult an engineer or architect to design a structural plan for this risky project.

- Insulation: The furnace can’t heat an old house with poor insulation. Andy should install two layers of criss-crossed insulation in the attic.

- Floor Gap: There’s a gap between the new wood floor and the front door threshold. We advise Nancy to use a piece of molding for a thin gap or cut a piece of flooring for a wide gap and tap it into place.

- Windows: How can Karen let the heat in but keep the cold out of her windows? Cellular shades can be left open during the day and closed at night to keep things comfortable.

- Siding: Should Mike replace Western red cedar siding with pine? Pine is not insect- or weather-resistant, so we suggest looking at Hardie Plank siding instead.

- Painting Garage Doors: Carolyn needs to refinish her metal garage doors. She gets tips for sanding, priming, and painting the doors with the right products.

- Sink Surface: There’s an ugly black ring around the bathroom drain. Debra can try cleaning it with oxygenated bleach, abrading the surface, or covering the area with a wide drain.

- Painting Siding: Paint just won’t stick to David’s redwood siding. It’s a smart idea to apply Kilz primer first, then use good quality paint over it as soon as possible.

may be able to get a patching compound that matches from the manufacturer.

- Electrical: The automatic light in a closet sometimes arcs when it comes on. That’s a very dangerous electrical fire hazard that Ming needs to have replaced immediately.

- Foundation: Steve wonders if a solid concrete foundation is better than cinderblock for preventing moisture. It may be stronger, but improving the outside drainage is most important.

- Roofing: Paul needs options for replacing his old flat roof. We stress how quality workmanship makes all the difference when installing a flat roof.

- Bath Tile: Spider cracks are suddenly forming on Stephanie’s acrylic liner walls. If it’s just the glazing on the surface, she can apply car wax to buff and hide the cracks.

Introducing Square Dance of Death (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE) from MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories.

Follow the show: MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories

On a cold December night in 2013, a 59-year-old widow stood on stage at a square dance club in Arkansas, watching some of her closest friends dance together. The woman had owned and run the square dance club for years, and the people out on the floor were just like family to her. But as she listened to the music and called out different square dance steps, she didn’t notice that one of the dancers had their eyes fixed right on her. And the woman did not know that this dancer had become obsessed with her. In fact, the dancer had started losing sleep just thinking about the woman. And now the dancer had decided it was time to act, because they believed they would never find peace until the object of their obsession was dead.

- Plumbing Leak: Fletch shares his experience with contractors who misdiagnosed water in the basement that was really coming from a leak in a refrigerator water line.
