That Time We Talked About Grills

In this episode, Craig and Kevin discuss grills.  A grill is a staple for most homes, and it seems that most people are proud of their purchase.  But, we decided to take an entire episode and talk about the different types of grills.  In today’s technological age, grills have become smarter.  We’re not saying smarter is better, but it’s amazing the amount of technology a simple grill can pack.  Whether you just enjoy cooking some burgers, or if you are one who enjoys the time spent smoking a 14-hour brisket, we think this episode will be fun for you.  We discuss everything from a simple Weber grill to the newest Traeger, and everything in between.

That Time We Talked About Homeowners Insurance

In this episode Craig and Kevin talk with Jarrod Tucker about Homeowners Insurance.  When you buy a home, you are required to carry homeowners insurance on your home.  However, not all insurance policies are created equal.  And, not all insurance companies have your best interests in mind.  What are the most important things you need to know about homeowners insurance?  Are certain sections of the policy more important than others?  Are there terms that are being thrown out by your insurance agent that you don’t understand?  Jarrod answers all of these questions and more on this episode.

That Time We Talked About Tales From The Pit

In this episode, Craig and Kevin kick off a new series called Tales From The Pit.  From time to time we will take an episode to discuss some absolute failures that have happened to us, or someone else that we can share with our listeners.  As we all know, owning a home can present its challenges at times and we are believers that learning from our mistakes, or mishaps, is important.  So, we will do our best to be transparent and talk about things that have gone wrong so that we can all benefit.  This week we discuss Craig’s lawn mower (again) and Kevin’s garbage disposal.
