In the Replay today, Susan shares the story of her new roof. And in the Horror Story, this homeowner was set to refer the contractor, until Kevin noticed issues with the job in

photos the homeowner sent. Good catch, Kev! In today’s Feature, Matt Skroch, Project

Director U.S. Public Lands and Rivers Conservation at PEW Charitable Trusts, fill us in

on how western states are keeping motorists and large, migrating animals from tangling

with each other on the highway. Using GPS to track the migration paths of Moose, Elk

and other large animals, PEW is teaming up with officials in Colorado, Oregon and other

states to keep migrating herds stay out of the paths of cars and trucks. What it takes

are special, animal friendly overpasses and underpasses to help the animals get from

point A to point B safely. It’s working. If you have this kind of situation in your

community, you’ll want to hear this.
