Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams got a VIP tour of The Den, the career and technology education campus for Montgomery ISD, and superintendent Mark Ruffin walked them through it. The Den stands for Discover, Explore, Navigate. It is a standalone campus that serves students from Montgomery High School and Lake Creek High School, who either drive over or ride a shuttle, and most of the programs run two years and finish with a certification a student can take straight into a job. They go program by program. Law enforcement has situational shooting simulators. Automotive services the district's fleet vehicles and teachers' cars, and it is open to the public for basic work like oil changes and tire rotations. The construction and architecture shop has SawStop table saws and a four by eight CNC, and Ruffin talked about eventually building a small home start to finish. Welding students were running TIG and MIG while the guys were there. The health services wing looks like an emergency room, with about twelve beds, a full size ambulance box, programmable patient dummies, and certifications in phlebotomy, CNA work and even running a gurney. Audio and video production has a full soundstage with wraparound green screens, an isolation room, a news desk with teleprompters and two podcast studios. Engineering and robotics has rows of 3D printers, metal fabrication, a programmable robot arm and three arenas built for robot battles, with camera positions above and a second floor balcony for spectators. Culinary arts is a teaching kitchen with roughly twelve individual stations, each with its own grill, stove and oven, tied to the chef's station by closed circuit TV, and connected through service and dish lines to a restaurant inside the school. Cosmetology has around 30 haircutting stations plus nails and facials, is open to the public on Thursdays and Saturdays, and places students in internships where many start building a client base before they graduate. Every lab has its own dedicated classroom attached to it, and the animal science and agriculture program sits at a separate facility they have not toured yet. Before all of that, the two of them go through the college football weekend, including Texas Tech, Oklahoma's loss to Michigan, Alabama's close call at Kentucky, the Wake Forest and Purdue double overtime, Utah beating Arkansas 43 to 10, and former Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez recording 14 tackles in his Miami Dolphins debut while wearing the green dot. They finish with the Lindsay Clancy trial, the single juror who would not convict, the mistrial that followed, and a conversation about what an insanity finding should mean now that state hospitals are largely gone. That turns into bears, Anthony Hopkins, and a recommendation for the 1997 movie The Edge.

Kevin had a main fork of a big tree break off and land along his property line, and rather than pay a crew for an awkward job he bought an EGO 18 inch battery chainsaw. This episode is the whole story, from ruling out gas to standing in the aisle at Lowe's comparing specs. The show starts on football. Texas Tech against Abilene Christian, the clock review at Michigan that put one second back on and gave Michigan a second Hail Mary, and Kevin's take after 21 years of officiating, including work in the Great American Conference. He reads the Big Ten statement and explains the rule about a ball needing to touch something out of bounds before the clock stops, then says plainly that officials should not change the outcome of a game. They also talk about the LSU eligibility fight, what NIL has done to team loyalty, and their picks for the season. The tool talk is the meat. Kevin ruled out gas quickly because of the fuel and oil mixture, the carburetor gunk after a season sitting, and the pull start. Craig backs that up with a spray rig that would not start on a job site and cost him two hours and a trip to O'Reilly's to buy tools and pull the carburetor apart. Kevin compared the EGO to the Kobalt and found the Kobalt uses an 80 volt battery and costs a hundred dollars less, but its chain speed is 10.5 against 22 on the EGO. He then compared the EGO to a Stihl at the same 18 inch bar. The Stihl engine is 45.6 cc, the EGO is rated at 50, and Stihl does not publish a chain speed. The EGO was 400 dollars on sale with a 6 amp hour battery, and that battery alone is 389 dollars at Lowe's. Tool only on Amazon is 279. He also notes the one real drawback, a battery saw stops when it bogs down instead of trying to push through. Craig talks about running Ryobi on 40 volts across 6 acres with three batteries, why bar length is not the same as power, and why he still mows with gas. He also shares what he and his son are building, a 6 by 12 test cabin to experiment with solar and water collection, and a reframed outdoor kitchen behind the party barn. Kevin closes on the EGO 26 inch hedge trimmer, dual action blades, a 1.2 inch cutting capacity, and a handle that is a trigger all the way around and swivels into five locking positions, 179 dollars tool only. One local note worth having, Lowe's had no gas chainsaw on the floor. For gas, Tractor Supply and McCoy's both carry Stihl, and Tractor Supply usually has someone on staff who can repair it.

Craig and Kevin have a guest in the studio this week: Jessi Cowart, a lifelong Montgomery County resident from Oak Ridge North who is running for Texas House District 15 as a Libertarian. The seat is open because Steve Toth is running for Congress, and Jessi says that if she wins she would be the first Libertarian ever seated in the Texas House. She came across our radar after our last conversation about Flock cameras, and she has plenty to say about them.

First, civil asset forfeiture, which she calls legalized theft. Under the way Texas law is written the property itself becomes the defendant rather than the person, the burden of proof is almost nonexistent, and getting your property back is incredibly difficult even when you are never convicted of anything. Reform bills get filed every single legislative session and die every single session, and she puts that down to law enforcement lobby money rather than any real disagreement, since the Republican, Democrat, and Libertarian platforms in Texas all say they want it ended.

Then the cameras. Jessi announced this week that she has drafted the Texas Automatic License Plate Reader Prohibition Act, an outright ban on government use of automatic license plate readers with anti-circumvention language in it. If she is elected on November 3rd, bill filing opens November 9th, and she says this is her first order of business. Her Fourth Amendment argument is not about one license plate seen in public, it is about the aggregate: a searchable database of where you live, where you work, where you worship, and who you associate with. We also get into The Woodlands Township unanimously approving $109,000 for 30 more cameras in December, with roughly $90,000 a year in ongoing cost after that, and the separate $50 million agreement to permanently end the City of Houston's right to annex the community.

The longest stretch is property taxes, and she brought the math. Use the state budget surplus, which was running $27 to $28 billion at the start of last session and does not count the rainy day fund, to buy down school district M&O tax debt. Put real spending caps on local government, because Texas has five spending limits on the state and none at all on cities, MUDs, and school districts. Cut things like the $1.5 billion committed over ten years to Hollywood filmmaking in Texas. Then shift what remains toward sales tax without raising it astronomically. She thinks elimination in five years is realistic. Kevin tells the story of buying a house from an older woman who had a 65 and over exemption, and getting handed roughly $5,000 in back taxes two years later.

We close on homeowner ground: why the median age of a first time buyer is now 40, why Jessi wants more small starter homes, duplexes, and condos rather than the same single family build on every parcel, her idea for a permit clock so permitting delays stop getting priced into every new house, why developers rather than existing taxpayers should pay for new development, and Craig's 25 year old employee in downtown Conroe who lined up three roommates before he closed on his first house.

Jessi Cowart is on Facebook, Instagram, and X, and her campaign site is cowartfortexas.com

The Homeowner Show kicks off with a lighthearted, albeit slightly gross, discussion about an infestation of flies and a spider web in their studio, a stark contrast to the more serious topics that follow. This initial banter quickly transitions to personal anecdotes about home maintenance and repairs. One host shares his experience fixing an electric golf cart charger by replacing a blown circuit board for a mere $25, highlighting the cost savings and satisfaction derived from DIY repairs, especially when guided by online tutorials.

The conversation then shifts to a similar repair experienced by the other host, who fixed a problematic mini-split drain line for the studio. He details how he bypassed an expensive quote by sourcing the parts himself for $25 and completing the repair in about 20 minutes, emphasizing the accessibility of information and parts for common home issues. This leads to a broader discussion about the empowerment of homeowners to tackle repairs themselves, potentially saving money and gaining valuable skills.

A significant portion of the discussion delves into the contentious issue of housing affordability and the impact of large institutional investors. A new piece of legislation, the "21st Century Road to Housing Act," is analyzed, which aims to limit the number of single-family homes that large institutional investors can own. While the hosts acknowledge the intent behind the act, they express skepticism about its effectiveness, pointing out loopholes like the ability to create multiple corporations and the exemption for multi-family dwellings, suggesting it may be a superficial fix rather than a solution to the core problems of inflation and interest rates.

The episode touches upon various other topics, including a humorous take on a WNBA situation involving an NBA player's controversial "no" vote and a subsequent "white privilege" claim, as well as personal experiences with insect stings and spider bites. The conversation concludes with a return to the theme of housing affordability, with the hosts reiterating that while homes may be expensive, creative solutions and a willingness to compromise on location or size can still make homeownership achievable for many, especially when compared to the drawbacks of apartment living. They also briefly discuss the tax incentives available to business owners, emphasizing that responsible financial planning can mitigate tax burdens.

This episode chronicles a challenging five-day backpacking trip up Mount Harvard in Colorado, one of the state's highest peaks. The journey involved an arduous off-trail ascent on the backside of the mountain, characterized by steep, unmarked terrain and significant elevation gain over a short distance. The speaker recounts the physical demands of navigating boulder fields and treacherous slopes, emphasizing the resulting exhaustion and the stark contrast between this wilderness approach and more conventional summit hikes.

Following the adventure narrative, the conversation briefly explores the practicalities of outdoor gear, specifically focusing on the comfort and necessity of good sleeping pads for overnight trips. This segues into a discussion of current events, covering a range of topics that highlight societal issues and legal matters. These include a lighthearted account of a suburban dispute with a homeowner's association, a more serious incident involving a pastor in Louisiana, and allegations of a city council member acting as an agent for the Chinese government.

The episode delves into the legal ramifications of roofing scams, referencing a specific Texas law, House Bill 2102, that prohibits contractors from waiving or absorbing homeowner deductibles. The speakers clarify that this practice is illegal and can result in severe penalties for both the contractors and homeowners involved, particularly for insurance fraud. They stress the importance of homeowners conducting due diligence, obtaining multiple quotes, and avoiding any contractor who offers to circumvent the deductible, as it often indicates other unethical or illegal business practices.

The discussion also touches upon broader societal trends, including the role of religion in public education with the mention of a new Texas law mandating the Bible in public schools, and the personal responsibility of parents in educating their children about morals and beliefs. The speakers share their perspectives on these issues, emphasizing the lasting impact of parental guidance and the importance of critical engagement with educational content, regardless of personal beliefs. The episode concludes with a practical tip for homeowners regarding deductible savings and a call to action for listeners to engage with their content.

This episode features Jeremy Fain, a roofing contractor from Priority Roofing, discussing his decade-long career in construction and his more recent focus on roofing. He shares his personal journey of finding his calling in the roofing industry, emphasizing the importance of proper installation and maintenance for roof longevity. Fain highlights that while hurricanes are a concern, hail damage has been the primary driver for his business, particularly in areas like Texas where roofing is not a licensed trade.

Fain elaborates on the prevalence of unqualified contractors in the industry and the lack of licensing in Texas, which necessitates homeowners to be diligent in choosing reputable roofers. He touches upon the critical issue of roof ventilation, noting that a significant percentage of roofs nationwide are not ventilated correctly, which can lead to premature shingle failure. He also discusses the common problems with improperly installed ventilation systems and how they can exacerbate roof damage, stressing the need for qualified professionals who understand these complexities.

The conversation also delves into the challenges homeowners face with insurance claims, the differences between Actual Cash Value (ACV) and Replacement Cost Value (RCV) policies, and the tactics some insurance companies employ to deny claims. Fain stresses the importance of understanding one's insurance policy, specifically concerning deductibles and replacement cost coverage. He also shares anecdotes about the importance of customer service, building trust through referrals, and how his company strives to provide a positive and transparent experience for homeowners throughout the roofing process.

This episode of the Homeowner Show features hosts Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams engaging in a lively discussion that spans personal anecdotes and broader societal issues. The conversation begins with lighthearted chatter about baseball season and Kevin's son's games. It quickly transitions into a relatable segment on home appliance repair, where Kevin details his DIY experience with his refrigerator, leveraging AI for diagnostics and part replacement, highlighting both the successes and challenges.

The discussion then delves into the practicalities of car maintenance, as Ryan Aduddell shares his own AI-assisted troubleshooting journey with a stubborn Honda Civic. The hosts also touch upon the controversial Initiative IP 28 in Oregon, which seeks to ban hunting and fishing, sparking a brief but pointed conversation about its potential environmental and personal freedoms implications. Hantavirus and its transmission routes are also mentioned, drawing parallels to public health messaging during past outbreaks.

The latter half of the episode focuses on the insurance industry, with Ryan Aduddell providing valuable insights from his 17 years of experience. He addresses common consumer misconceptions about insurance, emphasizing its role as a risk transfer mechanism rather than a simple warranty. Ryan explains how policy costs and coverage are determined, the importance of an agent's expertise in navigating complex terms, and the value of loyal customer service. He also introduces his new resource, www.thetxrelocationguide.com a comprehensive website designed to assist individuals and families relocating to Texas by providing detailed information on various aspects of different communities.

The video discusses the current state of home affordability and related financial challenges. The speakers touch upon the increased costs associated with homeownership, including rising insurance premiums and the general impact of inflation on everyday expenses. They highlight that while it might be a good time to buy due to market inventory, the overall financial landscape presents significant hurdles for many. Key points discussed include: - Increased Home Insurance Costs: Reports indicate a substantial rise in homeowners insurance premiums nationwide, with Texas experiencing a particularly sharp increase. This rise is attributed to factors like tariffs, which increase the cost of homes and subsequently their insured value. - Impact of Inflation: Inflation is noted as a primary driver of increased costs, affecting everything from home prices to everyday goods and services due to increased transportation and production costs. Wages and business profits have not kept pace with this inflation. - Consumer Spending Habits: The speakers discuss how people are adjusting their spending, such as reducing dining out, to cope with rising costs. They also touch on the proliferation of subscriptions and the lack of awareness many people have about their total spending in this area, suggesting better budgeting and financial management tools. - Homeownership Realities: There's a sentiment that the perception of homeownership may need to adjust, with people potentially needing to consider smaller homes or different neighborhoods than initially desired to remain financially secure and avoid becoming "house poor." - Market Dynamics: The increase in listed properties is seen as a potential shift towards a buyer's market, encouraging buyers to make more aggressive offers. However, the rising interest rates remain a significant factor. - Personal Finance Management: The importance of budgeting, understanding where money goes, and making conscious spending choices is emphasized, drawing parallels to dieting and adopting new habits. The psychological impact of using cash versus credit cards for purchases is also mentioned. - Behavioral Economics: The discussion touches on why people often don't follow advice, even when it's sound, due to busy lifestyles or a reluctance to make sacrifices. It also highlights the challenges businesses face in passing on increased costs in a competitive market.

The Homeowner Show: Episode 354 - Trends, Traditions, and Trouble! Welcome back to the Homeowner Show! This week, Kevin Hackett and Craig William are in the studio, ready to tackle a whirlwind of topics that'll keep you informed, entertained, and maybe even a little bit provoked. From the diamond of the baseball field to the intricacies of your own home, we’re covering it all.

We kicked things off with a lively chat about the recent A&M vs. Longhorns baseball showdown. Craig, clearly riding high on the Aggies' victory, shared a fun anecdote about his parents’ visit to Sevierville, Tennessee, and their amusing encounter with actual longhorn cattle, proving that sometimes life imitates art – or in this case, sports mascots.

As we navigated through our conversation, we took a detour into the delightfully absurd world of peculiar laws. Did you know carrying wire cutters in Texas might land you in hot water? Craig certainly highlighted this quirky piece of legislation, a relic of historical range wars, reminding us that the past often leaves its mark in the most unexpected ways.

The conversation then took a sharper turn as we touched upon a rather contentious piece of political imagery circulating online. We dissected the implications of a certain widely shared image, discussing its potential interpretations and how such visuals can ignite debate and reveal underlying sentiments about public figures. It’s a reminder of how deeply intertwined our personal lives, our perceptions, and the broader political landscape truly are.

But the heart of this episode, as always, lies in understanding the shifts happening within our homes and our approach to homeownership. We identified three major trends that are shaping the way we think about our living spaces:

1. The "Forever Home" Mindset In a fascinating pivot driven by economic realities, particularly high interest rates, a significant 41% of homeowners are now viewing their current houses not just as homes, but as their forever homes. This statistic signifies a profound shift away from the traditional "move up" mentality. Instead of chasing the next bigger or better house, homeowners are increasingly investing in renovating and improving the spaces they already inhabit. It’s about maximizing what you have, making it truly yours, and finding contentment and financial wisdom in staying put. This trend makes perfect sense when you consider the prohibitive costs of moving and taking on new, potentially higher-interest mortgages. Why trade a comfortable, familiar home with a manageable mortgage for the uncertainty and expense of a new one? It seems the smart money, and perhaps the saner choice for many, is to make the current house work for the long haul. 2. The Rise of the Outdoor Oasis Segueing from indoor contentment, we explored the booming trend of outdoor living spaces. It's no longer just about a patio; people are actively creating "outdoor rooms" – extensions of their indoor living areas. The statistics are striking: ownership of outdoor TVs has seen a fivefold increase, and outdoor speakers have seen a three to fourfold rise in popularity. This surge is fueled by a desire for private sanctuaries, a trend perhaps accelerated by the pandemic, but deeply rooted in a desire to enjoy the outdoors without necessarily engaging in communal activities. As technology makes outdoor entertainment more accessible and affordable (think budget-friendly flat-screen TVs and portable speakers), homeowners are transforming their backyards into comfortable, functional spaces for relaxation and entertainment, complete with outdoor kitchens and even more. It's a smart investment, offering a significant lifestyle upgrade without the need to move. 3. Quality and Availability Over Brand Loyalty Finally, we delved into a trend that's fundamentally reshaping consumer purchasing habits: the decline of blind brand loyalty in favor of quality and availability. For decades, brands like Maytag or GE built their reputations on longevity and reliability, convincing consumers to pay a premium for their perceived quality. However, the landscape has dramatically changed. The rise of accessible e-commerce, exemplified by Amazon, has put a universe of products at our fingertips. Consumers now rely on crowdsourced reviews and rapid delivery to make purchasing decisions. If a lesser-known brand offers a product that’s readily available, functions well, and is significantly cheaper, it often wins out over a traditional brand that might be perceived as higher quality but is harder to acquire or significantly more expensive. We've seen this play out with appliances, where the expectation of longevity has diminished, and with everyday items like batteries, where cheaper, readily available options often preferred over premium, long-lasting alternatives, simply because they are more accessible and cost-effective in the short term. This shift forces established brands to adapt, focusing not just on quality, but also on speed, accessibility, and managing consumer expectations in a world of "designed obsolescence."

It’s been a packed episode, and we’ve only scratched the surface! We hope you’ve found these insights valuable. If you haven't already, make sure to subscribe and share this episode with your friends. Until next time on the Homeowner Show, keep building, keep innovating, and keep making those smart decisions!

In this episode of the Homeowner Show, hosts Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams are joined by Shane Lynch, President of Storm Guard, and Derek Hummel, Director of Marketing for Storm Guard.

The conversation begins with observations on the changing seasons, including the influx of insects like June bugs and mosquitoes, and the effects of a mild winter on termite populations. Shane Lynch details Storm Guard's franchise model, which operates in 20 states with over 30 franchisees. The company specializes in various exterior home services, including roofing, gutters, windows, siding, and painting.

Derek Hummel discusses Storm Guard's rebranding strategy, aiming to differentiate themselves in an industry often perceived negatively. They are adopting a "sage" archetype to focus on educating customers and building trust, in contrast to the more common "hero" archetype in home services. This rebranding includes a visual shift with their primary colors changing to yellow and black to stand out.

The guests address the prevalent mistrust of contractors, emphasizing Storm Guard's commitment to local franchise ownership, transparency, and community involvement through their "Storm Guard Cares" program. They also touch upon the evolving insurance market, noting changes in roofing coverage and the significance of deductibles. Storm Guard's financing program, "Storm Guard Flex Pay," is highlighted as a way to assist homeowners with payment options.

A significant portion of the discussion revolves around building customer trust and long-term relationships. They explain how exceptional customer experiences and clear communication are crucial, especially when homeowners face issues like leaks. The guests also caution homeowners against "free roof" offers and deductible waivers, identifying them as potential red flags for insurance fraud and poor quality work.

Regarding their services, while roofing is their core business, Storm Guard franchisees also offer windows, siding, and gutters. The extent to which these services are offered varies by location, depending on market demand and franchisee specialization. For instance, siding is more prevalent in northern markets, while window services have seen increased demand in areas prone to severe hail.

The company's approach to franchising involves thorough training and support for franchisees, helping them navigate licensing requirements and establish a strong local presence. They also offer financial incentives for franchisees to adopt the new branding, recognizing the investment required for changes like truck wraps and uniforms.

Finally, the guests encourage potential franchisees to research thoroughly and attend discovery days to understand the franchisor's vision and the people involved. They also emphasize the importance of homeowners asking questions and seeking education about their home projects, as this empowers them to make informed decisions and avoid potential pitfalls. Storm Guard's commitment to transparency is reflected in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which they encourage prospective franchisees to review.

The Homeowner Show, episode 351, dives into the Houston Rodeo, exploring its appeal and the challenges of attending, from transportation woes to disappointing concert acoustics. The hosts debate the effectiveness of the "21st Century Road to Housing Act," a bipartisan bill aimed at limiting institutional ownership of residential properties, while expressing skepticism about government intervention in housing affordability. They emphasize personal responsibility in home buying, suggesting that a willingness to compromise on expectations and location can lead to more attainable and valuable homeownership, contrasting grand aspirations with practical financial realities. A significant portion of the discussion addresses the controversy surrounding Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo's removal from the Houston Rodeo, highlighting her alleged entitlement and the event's core mission of supporting student scholarships. The hosts critique her actions and the broader issue of perceived privilege in public office. They also reflect on personal experiences with smaller homes and the importance of financial prudence in achieving homeownership, arguing that focusing on affordability and building equity is key, rather than solely chasing a dream home that may be out of reach. #HoustonRodeo #HousingAffordability #RealEstate #LinaHidalgo #Homeownership

Episode 345 – The Homeowner Show
Hosted by Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams

Time is flying… and so is technology.

In Episode 350, Kevin and Craig kick things off talking about how fast the year is moving, what an El Niño season means for weather patterns, and even touch on a recent headline-making kidnapping case. It’s the kind of real-life, real-time conversation you’ve come to expect — grounded, relevant, and honest.

Then things get futuristic.

Kevin shares how he used artificial intelligence — including ChatGPT and a voice AI called WhisperFlow — to diagnose and repair his refrigerator. Step-by-step troubleshooting. Real-time problem solving. No service call required. It’s a fascinating look at how AI is becoming a practical tool for homeowners — not just a buzzword.

From there, Craig fires up something a little more hands-on: a full review of the Gozney Arc portable pizza oven.

He breaks down:

• Setup and accessories

• Performance and heat output (up to 950°F)

• Cooking technique (yes, you have to turn the pizza!)

• Dough experiments and topping combinations

• Portability and versatility (steaks, veggies, and more)

What starts as a product review turns into a bigger conversation about food, family, and whether making pizza at home can actually beat ordering out. They dive into cost comparisons, ingredient quality, and the experience of cooking together — plus a quirky grocery store story involving pasta production and European food labeling.

Bottom line? The Gozney Arc delivers. It’s powerful, fun, and surprisingly approachable — whether you're a casual pizza night family or a backyard culinary enthusiast.

Episode 350 is about more than AI and pizza. It’s about modern tools, timeless skills, and creating better experiences at home.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• Can AI actually fix real-world problems?

• Is a high-end pizza oven worth it?

• Is homemade really better?

This episode answers all three.

Tune in, experiment a little, and maybe make pizza night something your family looks forward to every single week.

The video documents a live broadcast from downtown Conroe, where a group of concerned citizens and small business owners are gathered to protest what they perceive as unfair practices by local leaders. The main issues discussed revolve around increased property taxes, fraudulent debt, and significantly raised fees that are forcing small, "mom and pop" businesses out of the area. Speakers express that these decisions are negatively impacting the community and its residents. A key point of contention is the alleged misuse of taxpayer money, specifically in relation to the Crichton Theater. It's alleged that council members are on the board of the theater and are voting to allocate funds to it, while also potentially benefiting through a production company they own. This is seen as a conflict of interest and a misuse of public funds, especially when compared to the struggles of small businesses. The speakers highlight their efforts to address these grievances, including petitions, emails, and rallies, but feel their concerns are being ignored. They emphasize the importance of citizen journalism and unity in bringing about change. The video also features interviews with business owners who are directly affected by these policies, explaining how the rising costs and perceived unfairness are hindering their ability to operate and thrive in downtown Conroe. They express a desire for local government to support, rather than burden, small businesses. Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough makes an appearance, expressing his support for the small business owners and stating his belief that a healthy community requires a healthy economy and business environment. He criticizes the current fee structure as "unconscionable" and pledges his support. The overall sentiment is one of frustration and a call for accountability from local leaders, with a strong emphasis on preserving the vitality of downtown Conroe and supporting its small businesses.

The video is episode number 348 of the Homeowner Show, hosted by Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams. They begin by discussing the recent Super Bowl, with both hosts agreeing that the game itself was not particularly exciting. They then delve into the halftime shows, comparing the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Bad Bunny with an alternative halftime show organized by Turning Point USA, which featured Kid Rock and other performers. The hosts analyze the production value and musical quality of both halftime shows, with a consensus that while the Super Bowl halftime show had high production values, the musical content was not to their taste. They praise Lady Gaga's performance from a previous Super Bowl halftime show as a standout. The discussion then shifts to the success of the Turning Point USA halftime show, noting its record-breaking concurrent stream numbers and its appeal to a specific demographic. A significant portion of the conversation revolves around the political and cultural implications of the Super Bowl halftime show choices, touching on themes of family values, patriotism, and audience engagement. They also discuss the historical context of Super Bowl halftime shows, referencing iconic performances like Michael Jackson's. The conversation takes a turn to discuss Donald Trump's recent social media post featuring a controversial video. The hosts express strong disapproval of the video's content, deeming it offensive and inappropriate, particularly due to the racial undertones of associating certain individuals with monkeys. They debate whether Trump was aware of the full content of the video and whether his refusal to apologize was a strategic move or a sign of poor judgment. Finally, the discussion broadens to cover themes of personal responsibility, mindset, and opportunity. They emphasize the importance of changing one's perspective, particularly regarding financial goals and achieving success, citing the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" as an example of how changing one's mindset can unlock potential. They conclude by encouraging listeners to take control of their own lives and not be limited by external beliefs or circumstances.

Episode Introduction

This episode of The Homeowners Show features hosts Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams discussing current trends in the housing market, personal finance related to homeownership, and a practical DIY project.

Real Estate Market Update

• Mortgage Rates: Rates have dropped to their lowest point since 2023, falling below 6% and even reaching 5.9% for some loans. FHA and VA loans are seeing rates around 5.9%, while traditional loans are in the low 6% range.

• Buyer's Market: There are currently 500,000 more home sellers than buyers, indicating a buyer's market. This shift suggests that prices may begin to decrease, and buyers have more negotiation power.

• Affordable Homes: While many homes are priced high, there are still options available for under $200,000, typically smaller, newer constructions. The hosts advocate for buying within one's means and prioritizing essential home features over excessive luxury.

Financial Advice for Homeowners

• Smart Spending: The hosts emphasize the importance of making financially sound decisions, such as buying a home that is affordable rather than stretching to the absolute limit. This approach can lead to less financial stress and more disposable income for home improvements and personal enjoyment.

• Investment vs. Renting: Homeownership is generally presented as a better financial decision than renting, even for smaller, more affordable properties, as it builds equity over time.

• Avoiding Unnecessary Debt: The discussion highlights the negative impact of taking on excessive debt for a home, potentially leading to marital strain and unhappiness.

DIY Project: Garage Door Opener Installation

• The Problem: Craig's garage door opener failed due to a worn-out plastic gear.

• The Solution: After initially considering professional replacement, which was quoted at three times the cost of the unit itself, Craig opted for a DIY installation.

• Technology & Tools:

  • ChatGPT Assistance: AI was used to research compatible brands and installation nuances, revealing that multiple brands share the same mounting mechanisms.

  • Chamberlain B6753T: The chosen smart garage door opener features Wi-Fi connectivity, a camera for deliveries (with a subscription service), a microphone, and a backup battery.

  • Installation App: A dedicated app provided interactive 3D models and video guidance, making the installation process significantly easier and more detailed than traditional manuals.

• Key Features: The new opener is remarkably quiet and features a powerful LED light bar (2000 lumens) that illuminates the entire garage.

• Cost Savings: DIY installation saved approximately $1200 compared to professional service.

Social Commentary

• Protests and Child Involvement: The hosts express dismay at seeing young children holding vulgar protest signs, criticizing the irresponsibility of parents who expose their children to such environments and language.

• Focus on Service: They advocate for channeling energy from unproductive protests into positive actions, such as volunteering and helping those in need.

• Economic Stabilization: Despite controversies, the hosts acknowledge that the current economic conditions have stabilized, leading to increased consumer confidence and spending.

Upcoming Content

The hosts mention exciting interviews and content planned for the year ahead.

Homeowner Tips: Solar and Roofing

The conversation shifts to practical homeowner advice with a spotlight on True Texas Solar and Roofing. They highlight ongoing incentives for solar installation and discuss various options, including Tesla's solar roof shingles, emphasizing their aesthetic appeal and durability. They also stress the importance of choosing reputable roofing professionals, noting the lack of licensing in Texas and advising listeners to be wary of unqualified contractors.

Culinary Adventures and New Gadgets

The hosts share their recent dining experiences, including a decadent meal at The Refuge featuring a tomahawk steak and lobster. This leads into a detailed review of a new Chefmate electric pizza oven. The host expresses initial skepticism about an electric oven but is ultimately impressed by its ease of use, consistent cooking, and the delicious results. They walk through the process of making pizza dough from scratch using a specialized kit and discuss the pros and cons of various dough-making methods.

The video is episode number 343 of the Homeowner Show, hosted by Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams. They begin by discussing the end of the year and the approaching new year, reflecting on the past year's accomplishments and takeaways.

Before diving into their review, they thank their sponsor, 2 Texas Solar and Roofing, highlighting their services for solar installation and roofing needs, including generators and backup batteries.

The hosts then address a common concern for new homeowners, sharing a Reddit post from a first-time homebuyer experiencing anxiety and second thoughts after closing on their house. They reassure listeners that these feelings are normal, as buying a home is a significant and often stressful event. They emphasize that the value of a home often increases over time and that personal satisfaction with the home is paramount.

The conversation shifts to memorable features seen in houses they've encountered. Craig shares his childhood memory of an indoor swimming pool in a friend's house, while Kevin recounts seeing a spectacular underground wine cellar in Houston, noting the unique architecture and ambiance.

They then transition into a year-end review of topics discussed in 2025. Key points include:

• Krazy Klean Works: A product that effectively descales toilets, noting its continued efficacy for over a year.

• Gun Storage: A reminder about the importance of secure and diverse gun storage solutions, urging listeners to re-evaluate their own setups.

• Navy SEAL Claims: A discussion about the issue of individuals falsely claiming to be Navy SEALs, and the importance of verifying credentials, referencing their earlier interview with Don Shibley.

• Squatter Rights: Highlighting the ongoing issue of squatters and the legal protections they sometimes have, and criticizing social media platforms for not removing content that promotes illegal squatting.

• Interest Rates: Observing that interest rates have stabilized, though not significantly decreased, and that home prices remain high, leading to a slower housing market.

• Normalization of Luxury: Discussing the trend of first-time homebuyers expecting high-end features, which drives up costs and reduces the availability of more affordable starter homes.

• Frugal Living and Homeownership: Sharing an anecdote about a couple who successfully paid off their starter home in 10 years by living frugally on one income, demonstrating the financial benefits of such an approach.

• Insulation Claims: Debunking the concept of "pest-resistant insulation," explaining that while some materials might be less attractive to pests, no insulation truly prevents them. They caution against companies using this marketing to inflate prices.

• Importance of Research and Due Diligence: Emphasizing the need for homeowners to research contractors, get multiple bids, and be wary of exaggerated claims, particularly from large corporations that may not prioritize individual customer needs. They advocate for smaller, local businesses with a vested interest in their community reputation.

Secure Firearm Storage, Fast Access, and Surprising Truths About Gun Safes with Tom Kubiniec

In this episode, Kevin and Craig sit down with Tom Kubiniec, CEO of SecureIt Tactical, to talk about the real science behind firearm storage, what every homeowner gets wrong about gun safes, and why “fast access” is more than just convenience—it’s survival.

Tom’s story is incredible: from professional guitarist to the leading authority in military armory design, to building the firearm storage platform used by U.S. Special Forces. He breaks down how the industry misleads consumers, why fire ratings are basically a myth, how thieves actually move through a home, and how strategic decentralized storage can protect families better than any giant safe in the basement.

Whether you own one gun or twenty, this episode will change the way you think about securing them in your home.

About Our Guest: Tom Kubiniec – SecureIt Tactical

Tom is the founder & CEO of SecureIt Tactical, the largest supplier of weapon storage systems to the U.S. military and a leading innovator in consumer gun storage. Drawing from engineering, armory design, and decades of field experience, Tom brings a radically different approach to safe firearm access and security.

Show Notes
🚨 Intro + College Football Banter

Kevin and Craig celebrate both of their teams making the college football playoffs, share Thanksgiving updates, and Kevin unveils his new massive smoker setup.

🏕️ Big Bend Trip & Wild News Stories

Craig previews a bizarre story he’s investigating involving wild pigs with blue fat and potential rodenticide contamination.

🚗 Tom’s Background: From Guitar Prodigy to Armory Expert

Tom shares his unbelievable journey:

• Touring musician

• Guitar Player Magazine feature

• Career-ending tendonitis

• Becoming a top-tier sales expert

• Accidentally entering the weapon storage world through the FBI

• Eventually becoming the authority in military armory design

🛠️ How the Military Stores Weapons (and Why Your Safe Is Wrong)

Tom explains how working with Special Operations Command led to the SecureIt Tactical Weapon Storage Platform—an engineering-first system built around:

• Simplicity

• Modularity

• Zero-fail access

• Storing firearms in one clean row

• Never digging through guns to get to a gun

🔥  The Myth of Fire Ratings

Tom blows up one of the gun industry’s biggest selling points:

• Fire ratings are static tests that don’t reflect real fires

• Real house fires involve wind, pressure, and 2000°F+ temps

• Even “90-minute” safes often fail in minutes

• Any gun exposed to high temps becomes a liability, not a keepsake

🏠  Why Big Gun Safes Are a Liability

Tom walks through real crime data and explains:

• Thieves spend 9 minutes in a home

• Master bedrooms are the least secure spot

• Kitchens and front-door closets are far safer

• A massive safe is a single point of failure

SecureIt’s decentralized storage model:

• Smaller modular safes

• Multiple locations

• Faster access

• Higher security

⏱️ High-Stress Fast Access (HSFA): Why Your Safe Could Fail You

SecureIt redesigned every lock after watching experienced shooters fail to open tiny-button locks under stress.

Topics include:

• Fight-or-flight motor skill loss

• Why biometrics fail when hands are wet, dirty, cold, or gloved

• Why RFID is actually dangerous

• How training reps build the muscle memory needed in real emergencies

🔧 Custom Gun Rooms, Guitar Talk, and Hot Rods

Tom shares:

• His Bonneville land-speed record project

• His rare Elmquist Saber cars

• Using SecureIt systems to build custom gun rooms for NFL, NBA, musicians, and celebrities

• Why the same military-grade system works for homeowners

Fall Breaks, Fake Stimulus Checks & Football Shocker Week!

 

This week, the guys are back in the studio after a “camping” trip (well, one of them slept in his truck). They catch up on fall break chaos, celebrate their show’s climb to the top of the charts, and talk about some big updates from their friends at True Texas Solar & Roofing — including new Tesla roof tech and what’s changing in the world of home insurance.

 

Then it’s on to football madness: Texas pulls off a surprise win, A&M looks strong, and Oklahoma State sets an unforgettable (and bizarre) record. The conversation heats up around coaching changes, rivalry traditions (yes, tortillas get thrown), and even whether Nick Saban could actually head to OSU.

 

To top it all off, the hosts tackle viral rumors about a new October stimulus check — breaking down what’s real, what’s not, and how to avoid the scams making the rounds online.

 

It’s a wild mix of home talk, football breakdowns, and headline myth-busting — with plenty of laughs and good conversation along the way.
