We tend to promote and value college education over apprenticeships and training. What we need to do is expose the younger generation to the skilled trades so they know they can become plumbers, welders, pipe fitters, or electricians. This starts early - I'd say middle school. It's time we inspire our younger generation, as early as middle school, to explore these fascinating trades. The future is in their hands.
Cottage season is finally here—but before you kick back, there’s work to do.
I’ve seen too many cottages open up to hidden problems—clogged eavestroughs, rodent damage, moisture, even electrical issues. These aren’t small things—they can turn into big, expensive repairs if you ignore them.
That’s why I always say: take the time to open your cottage the right way. Clean your gutters, check for unwanted guests, test your air quality, and make sure your electrical and deck are safe before you enjoy the season.
Do it right. Make it safe.

My kids made me try to count how many houses we have fixed and how much $$$ we have spent fixing homes. This was a very special podcast episode we filmed.

On one job I took on, we found out that a newly built house was sitting on a crumbling, substandard foundation. Testing revealed that the concrete strength is only about one-third of what building code requires, meaning the structure is dangerously compromised. Disaster!
