I enjoyed your latest podcast about replacing shingles on a house’s roof. I have some questions that may be you could pursue or suggest where I could get answers. 1) I am aware of at least two different types of ridge vent materials. What’s recommended? 2) How does the color of the shingles impact attic temperature? 3) I have solar panels. Does the typical roofing contractor uninstall/reinstall solar panels during shingle replacement? 4) It is typical practice in some parts of the country to condition the attic. I am in Connecticut. My air handler is in the attic. Is it worth investing in conditioning my attic or at least insulating under the roof deck versus the attic floor?
They cover almost any home improvement topic you can think of. Jacy really knows his stuff and doesn’t waste the listener’s time. Some people say that Cindy is annoying, but I think she makes the podcast more listenable by breaking up the run on information with important questions and throws in a funny comment every now and then.
I gave this four stars because I like the home improvement tips that are given. I had no idea that there was something like this available However , I wish that the information was presented as a conversation rather than just being read. Most of the time Co-host Cindy seems completely uninterested, but throws in the occasional obligatory “cool,” “uh-huh,” or scripted question of clarification. While the spelling of product names is practical it gets a bit annoying in my opinion. In spite of these criticisms, I will continue to listen, because I love thinking about this stuff. Keep ‘em coming.
There’s a well of knowledge to be found here, but for me, Cindy’s presence makes it difficult to drink from it. Maybe I would better understand her mannerisms if there was a video version or something, but in this audio-only format she seems almost annoyed that she’s there and occasionally makes these seemingly snide comments out of nowhere. The problem may be that she was intended to be the equivalent of a producer, but then was also shoehorned into a co-host role to move Jacy along or prompt him. It’s an understandably difficult role to fill given how information-heavy the episodes are: it’s almost impossible for Jacy to not have a “droning” effect. I do think it would be worth a shot to let him host alone and allow Cindy the freedom to focus on production. They seem like genuinely nice people who work hard to provide solid information, but in my opinion, they just don’t mesh well in this format.
