    The best!
    I've been listening for a couple of years and have learned tons of good stuff. Great show for beginners to contractors.
  • Mildly handycapped
    What the hell happened to your show?
    This show is no longer entertaining nor pleasant to listen to. I don’t know how to tell you this but your wife is not exactly adding to your show and honestly I don’t think I can ever handle this show like this. No offense but I don’t know you and therefore have not built any trust for your knowledge.
