SEGMENT 1: The Hot Water Heater Fiasco
Hot water heaters don't last forever! And when they go . . . well, they really can go! Dan's 10 year old hot water heater burst on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and in about 30 minutes the 1/2 the basement had an inch of water over the floor. On the show, we dug into some of the lessons learned . . . and really, it's all about being prepared.
Here are some ideas (and these work for ANY water-related fiasco):
Know how to shut down your water heater in case of an emergency
Locate the water shut off valves and make your whole family aware
Get a good wet/dry vac and a submersible pump (if you don't have a sump pump pit)
If you don't have a "go-to" plumber now, find one . . . when you don't have an emergency
SEGMENTS 2 and 3: Quick Holiday Transformations
There's not a ton of time left before Christmas and New Year's, so we didn't want to dig into all kinds of huge paint projects. Instead, we decided to focus on some quick transformations for you home.
SEGMENT 4: Christmas Tree 101
Hailey loves to pick out her Christmas tree every year . . . but every year, she forgets which kind is the right one for her. So today, she walks through some of the trees that we'll find when we go shopping as well as some pros and cons for each!
ALSO!!!! We launch our 2021 Christmas Sweepstakes. Find all the information in the segment!
