This week, we get personal, sharing tales of home renovations and the histories living within our walls that continue to shape our lives. We'll walk you through the charm of uncovering memories in familiar spaces, from the laughter-filled corners of a childhood home to the serendipitous discovery of an island on a lake. Join us as we reveal how these stories of past homeownership, and the ongoing dance of personalizing our spaces, weave the fabric of our identities and connect us with our listeners' own remodeling adventures.
As we pull on our plaid shirts and laugh at the quirky cultural norms that make each region unique, you'll wonder if you're not alone in eating pizza for breakfast. We'll swap tales of the amusing cultural misunderstandings that arise when moving across the country, and you'll be entertained by our musings on the stereotypes that define the Midwest—yes, including the great 'duck, duck, gray duck' debate. We'll also marvel at the ingenuity of constructing a micro cabin for less than your monthly coffee budget, and invite you to mull over the essentials you'd pack for a life of minimalist living. Whether it's the stories etched in the beams of our homes or the cultural idiosyncrasies that make each place unique, there's a bit of laughter and a lot of heart in this episode's journey.
