Segments 3 & 4: Bird Exclusion with Rose Pest Solutions

David Popp and Dale Hodgson from Rose Pest Solutions are here to talk about birds. Yes, they’re fun to watch. Yes, they’re beautiful. But they can also be a nuisance when they build nests in our eaves trough or our dryer vents. What do you do if you have geese that are continually threatening you? What about a nest of starlings in the fancy sign hanging over the door of your business? David and Dale have the answers!

LISTEN HERE:

Segments 1 & 2: Mother’s Day With Dan’s Mom

To celebrate Mother’s Day, we invited Dan’s mom to stop by and tell a few stories about Dan and tell us where she gets her decorating inspiration. The stories are something you won’t want to miss!

Segment 3: Tessa & Tools

It really is a family affair this week. Dan’s daughter, Tessa, job shadowed in the middle of the week. We gave her a number of projects to do of varying difficulties. She jumped right in and had a blast. If she can do it, so can you!

Segment 4: From the Archives – Dan’s Brilliance

From the first time we aired this segment, it made us laugh. Dan thought he’d share his infinite wisdom in his Emporium of Brilliance. The only problem was, it didn’t quite turn out the way he had planned!

EP108: Low Dollar High Impact Home Projects, Children’s Healing Center, and Flowerland

LISTEN HERE:

Segments 1 & 2:

Most of us don’t like spending a lot of money on our homes if we don’t have to; especially if we’re selling it. But there are some high impact, low dollar things you can do inside and outside your home that will make you think “wow”!

To help us with that, we are joined by realtors Sue Prins and Ginger Herman from Sue Prins 5 Star Real Estate. The twist to this interview is that we’re doing it live from the Grand Opening of our Broadmoor location!

Segment 3: Nicole, Dan, and Louis Ribbens

To celebrate the Grand Opening of our Broadmoor location, we are raising money for the Children’s Healing Center in Grand Rapids. It’s a safe place where kids with weak immune systems and their families can play and socialize.

We are joined live by Nicole and Dan Ribbens and their 3-year-old son, Louis. Louis stole the show (and our hearts)! Their story is a testament to just how important the CHC is to the community.

Segment 4: Flowerland

It is always an absolute blast when we get to host the hosts of the Flowerland Show (Rick, Doug, and Kristi) on our show! We even got to briefly talk about Rick’s new book Operation Rumination. And we learned that it was Naked Gardening Day….enough said!
