(This is rincewind sitting in for our host Claude, live from Minnesota, it's SMHRB! Keep sending those positive waves in Claude's direction, to help him get well soon!)
Good morning home repair and DIY fans, either of choice, or of necessity. We gather Saturday mornings to share stories, advice and encouragement relating to keeping our shelters sheltering and safe.
The shop is open and the coffee's on. An ad hoc cadre of construction professionals and gifted amateurs often shows up to help out, and sometimes all our gabbing is useful for some Kossak who woke up to a clogged toilet or a leaky faucet, because we try to show how many of the common (and sometimes not common) issues that arise with homeownership can be solved without the help of expensive professionals.
Hopefully claude will drop by to say Hey and let us know he's on the mend. I got nothing much today -- no flooding here by the Big Lake but some basements are getting wet, and farther up the North Shore some people are still without power after the ice storm last week. And keep the NoDak/MN border folk in your thoughts.
And now it's Showtime. Welcome.
