Amazing Drop Ceilings | How to Stop Tripping Circuits | Easy Way to Avoid Unsafe Products | Ep #2178

The Money Pit Home Improvement Podcast

SHOW NOTES:

• If you’ve been thinking about a remodeling project and wondering what to do with your ceiling, a drop ceiling is probably not on your list! But these ceilings are not just the boring flat large tiles we’ve grown up with. We’ll share some amazing transformations that are possible with the newest innovations in these ceilings.
• You probably don’t think much about your home’s electrical panel until a circuit trips – and then you have to! Tripped circuits may be a sign your panel is ready for an upgrade, or just point to the need for a much less expensive repair. We’ll explain how to keep the power on for less.
• Hundreds of unsafe products get recalled each year. But with so many recalls, how do you know if you have recalled products in your own home? We’ll tell you about a free product recall website that can help.
