In our Replay today, Lisa tells the story of her just-completed kitchen. The project

included the relocation of her washing machine to the upstairs master bedroom. This outside-the-box solution facilitated the expansion of the kitchen. Split HVAC systems require a lot of tubing to be inserted into wall cavities.

In our Horror Story today an installer got creative and ran the tubing on the outside of the house, including over the roof. Unbelievable!

In our Feature segment, singer, songwriter, and author Dar Williams joins Gary Toth and Cynthia Nikitin from the Placemakers Guild for Part 2 of a fascinating discussion of why some towns flourish and others flounder. Dar shares some of the wonderful transformations she’s experienced in cities and towns across America. It’s all in her book, What I Found in a Thousand Towns: A Traveling Musicians Guide to Rebuilding America's Communities-One Coffee Shop, Dog Run, and Open-Mike Night at a Time.
