  • Fix This 101

    This podcast used to be a reliable source for Do It Yourself homeowners to find answers. Seems lately this program has evolved into more of a variety talk show filled with personal anecdotes rather than fix it solutions and the call-in questions have been even less frequent.

  • Show use to be good

    I use to listen the show every week years ago when they provide you more often with more valuable information before the show introduced the lady that talks way too much about herself and stories that don’t add too much value sometimes and I don’t appreciate that she kind interrupt the hosts frequently. Nothing wrong with her in the show just I wish she could let folks finish their sentences and she takes too much time of the program to herself.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fix It 101 | Fall Tune-Ups with Patton Ford
Q: Is it worthwhile to invest in a programmable thermostat, and what should people consider before buying one?
Yes, programmable thermostats are generally worth the investment if you plan to manage energy use; they can adapt schedules to save on utilities, especially when you're away or during milder seasons, though professional installation is recommended to avoid wiring or control-board issues.
Fix It 101 | Structural Engineering w/ Cullan Kight
Q: Is slab or crawl space easier to work with, and why do you see more slabs in newer constructions?
Conventional crawl spaces can be more invasive but accessible for adjustments; slabs are easier to seal and require different approaches like interior pilings when needed, but modern codes and construction practices have shifted toward continuous footings and slabs due to cost and maintenance considerations.
Fix It 101 | Structural Engineering w/ Cullan Kight
Q: What are your thoughts on plumbing's impact on foundations, and how does that factor into your assessments?
Plumbing leaks or poor drainage can contribute to soil swelling or weakening, so I often recommend checking plumbing and ensuring drainage works away from the foundation, as this can be a major driver of movement.
Fix It 101 | Structural Engineering w/ Cullan Kight
Q: Cullan, a little bit about what you do, what does a day in the life look like for a structural engineer?
I primarily do foundation inspections, assess cracks and movement in residential and small commercial buildings, measure slab slope and floor differential, and develop a plan of correction when needed.
Fix It 101 | Fondren Small Engine Repair
Q: What is stabilizer and should I use it in my gas?
Stabilizer is an additive to help gas last longer in storage, but the practical tip is to avoid leaving fuel in the mower at the end of the season and instead run the gas out to prevent fuel degradation.
