Episode 2067
Coming up Saturday on Around the House Show!
Get ready to lock your doors and hide your espresso machines, because this weekend's episode of the Around the House Show is going to be a wild ride. We’re diving deep into the world of home security, and trust me, it’s not just about deadbolts and alarm systems. Eric G. is sharing his top 10 tips to keep your home safer than a bank vault in a heist movie. I mean, if cat burglars had TikTok accounts, you can bet they’d be taking notes from this episode. We’re talking about everything from smart home tech to basic common sense—like not broadcasting your travel plans on social media. Seriously, if you post that you’re off to paradise for a week, you might as well leave a welcome mat out for the thieves. So, if you’re tired of worrying about whether your home is a target, tune in and let Eric show you how to fortify your fortress like a champ.
But that’s not all, folks! The second hour is packed with even more goodies as Eric tackles your burning questions in a series of house cleaning segments. Have a burning query about a DIY project gone wrong? Or maybe you need advice on choosing the right materials for your next renovation? This is your chance to get some expert insights straight from the source. Eric’s been through the trenches of home improvement, and he’s ready to share the lessons learned, the mistakes made, and the occasional triumph (because let’s face it, some projects are more of a comedy than a success story). Whether you’re a seasoned DIY warrior or a newbie just trying to figure out how to hold a hammer, there’s something here for everyone. So, grab your earbuds and get comfy, because we’re about to embark on a two-hour journey filled with laughs, lessons, and maybe a few questionable decisions along the way.

Speaker B:Guess what?
Speaker B:Now you've just said, hey, guess what?
Speaker B:I'm not home for a day or two.
Speaker B:You're just asking for people to come in.
Speaker B:So don't post those travel plans on social media.

Speaker A:Eric G. Has some house cleaning with four topics in the four segments.
Speaker A:So if you sent him a question on a topic, this show might be the one you are looking for.
Speaker B:I realized as we were coming up here, close to me starting to renew the contract.
Speaker B:Here's the problem.
Speaker B:When you produce a television show like Ed did with around the House, Northwest Great Television owns the content because they paid for the production, which means the 700 videos, I get 698 if we want to be exact, the 700 videos that we had up there in a round number.
Speaker B:I don't own a single right to them.
Speaker B:They can put it up, keep it forever.
Speaker B:They could take it down.
Speaker B:I have no say it.
Speaker B:And that's what happens when you work.
Speaker B:That's what a lot happens to a lot of the people that are on HGTV.
Speaker B:It's not on their YouTube channels because they don't own it.
Speaker B:So that's why I decided that I'm going to produce my own show with maybe some of the same people that we've had in the show in the past.
Speaker B:So we're going to be putting together a team and we're doing that right now and I'm excited about it.
