Mold Is the New Asbestos: Why I Think Big Builders Are in Hot Water (and Humidity) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mold is quietly turning into the new lead paint/asbestos scandal and I’m here waving a giant, slightly gross flag about it. I walk through why big volume builders like D.R. Horton and Lennar are getting slammed with lawsuits — bad HVAC sizing, poor framing, and homes built so tight they sweat themselves into unlivable molds. I riff on the Dixon case in Louisiana (buyers from 2014 pushing back, state court standing and a potential class action stretching back to 2007) and the Seminole Tribe litig
Master Bathroom Remodel Mistakes That Cost You Thousands (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Planning a master bathroom remodel in 2026? Eric G walks through his top 10 tips so you don’t blow the budget, hire the wrong crew, or build a shower that fails in five years. From checking neighborhood comps on Zillow before you design, to wiring for heated floors and a bidet seat you’ll want later, this episode is packed with hard-won advice from decades in the field. Eric covers why you hire a designer at the drawing stage (not after demo), how to plan for aging in place while the walls are o
AI in Construction and Remodeling: Instant Bids, Kitchen Scans, and What’s Hype (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI in construction and remodeling is moving fast — and a lot of the hype doesn’t hold up on a real jobsite. On this episode of Around the House, certified kitchen designer Eric G and co-host John Dudley cut through the noise on AI-powered design, estimating, and bidding, and what actually helps homeowners, contractors, and remodelers today. They dig into the buzz around 3D-printed concrete houses — aesthetics, insulation, durability — and why practical building systems still win for most project
I renamed our midweek show The Punch List — here’s why the housing market isn’t 2008 (but sellers, brace yourselves) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alright, here's the midweek chaos I called the Punch List — I'm Eric G., your loudspeaker for home stuff and occasional festival hype. I kick things off by bragging about being the MC for Rock the Locks in Umatilla (Sept 25–27) — three days, 25 bands, camping, and a ridiculous amount of classic rock goodness. If you’re wondering why a home-improvement nerd is moonlighting as a concert MC, it’s because we appreciate good build quality whether it’s a guitar rig or a soffit detail. I promise I’ll b
Stop recording crimes — we want people to show up: the simple missing link in home security (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I got real about security with Brandon Smith from Aura — no fluff, just the gap homeowners keep tripping over. I tell the story about pulling up to my driveway and finding my garage gutted (sunny weekday, tools gone), calling 911 and waiting...and waiting. Brandon and I dug into why cameras and recorded footage aren’t the finish line: in a lot of cities the police won’t prioritize property-only calls or need more verification before they roll. Aura’s neat move is bringing a human deterrent back
