#46: The New Home Habit That is Saving Us Nearly

We did it! We at last cut the cable cord (thanks in part to your suggestions) and we are spilling how it all went down and, more importantly, how it’ll save us tons of money this year. And yes, Sherry still has her beloved Bravo channel. We also learn some fairly eye-opening secrets about a few big HGTV stars and even get to talk to two new ones – from right here in Richmond! Plus, we share how we live without ceiling fans and how Sherry’s nerding it up with her new go-to neckwear.

You can download this episode from iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, and TuneIn Radio – or listen to it below! Then use this page to check out any links, notes, or photos that we referenced. Note: If you are reading in a feed reader, you might have to click through to the post to see the player.

What is New

There is a especially detailed post breaking down our cable cutting coming atcha later this week, but in the meantime here is a swift reference to the services/devices we mentioned:
- Roku 4
- Playstation VUE (similar to Sling TV)
- Ooma Telo box

Swift Pointer

Alas, I could not get a decent picture of our cleaning supplies in the closet (two are hung in weird nook around the back of the door) – but above are the tops of each one so you can see the holes we were talking about (each one is linked below for you). I also meant to mention that I did have to add a heavier duty screw for the Swiffer because the liquid solution made it weightier.
- Swiffer Wet Jet
- Bissell Pet Hair Broom
- OXO Good Dustpan & Brush

What is Not

Here is that list of 21 Secret-Ish Facts About HGTV Designers that had some real gems that we hadn’t heard yet (like Christina el Moussa’s prenatal yoga DVD). Side note: how did Sherry know about Scott McGillvray’s boy band days??
But of course, here is what you are truly here to see – the full Property Brothers music video.

And here is that Joanna Gaines tire commercial that we mentioned.

Richmond Rehabbers

Do not forget you can catch Josh & Breese’s HGTV pilot, Richmond Rehabbers, this Sunday, May 7th at Noon EST.
And you can also check out their past projects, including some strong before & afters, like the one below:

And here is one of their kitchen makeovers:

We are Digging

Here are the wireless Bluetooth headphones that Sherry’s fashionably sporting around the house every chance she gets (does she look excited, or what?).

And here is the exact tabletop fan that we have in our bedroom (it is made by Hunter so it is got strong power and we have had it for 3+ years).
The exact model in our daughter’s room is over 7 years old, so it is no longer sold, but this is the current version of it from the same exact maker (it also comes in other colors).

Psst- Looking for something we have dug in a past episode, but do not remember which show notes to click into? Well, here is a master list of everything we have been digging from all past episodes.
