We're back!  After a bit of a hiatus, we're back on track to bring you new shows & continue on with our Design for a Disaster series.  In this episode, we pick up where we left off discussing water storage for you, your family & your garden.  This topic is especially relevant now as much of the US is in drought conditions right now.

Design for a Disaster: Gardening pt 3

In this episode, we'll discuss some basic tips on starting your own garden, no matter WHERE you live, as a hedge against inflation, food storage or for a healthier lifestyle!  (And anyone who's ever eaten tomatoes grown in THEIR garden can attest to that!).  Tips on difficulty, a little history & some basic plants to get you started.

CasaVere: Property Virgins & Bad Realtors

This segment will deal with the REALITY of buying a home...What is really important?  Granite countertops or a new roof?  Carpet vs hardwood floors?  New furnace or nice landscaping?  As someone's who's bought & sold many houses, plus being a designer as to what REALLY adds value to a home, this episode will help you make your list of what's really important to the VALUE of the home in determining what the price is to offer/sell & how it meshes with what's of VALUE to you as a buyer.

CasaVerde: Design for a Disaster-Security

With the popularity of Doomsday Preppers on NGTV & the rise in the Prepper Movement, I'd like to discuss how you can implement DESIGN into your preparation & security plans so you don't look like a hoarder or something out of the Mad Max movies, & are prepared whether it's a natural disaster, economic or terrorist threat. In this first segment of my Design for a Disaster series, I will focus on basic security of your home.  Tips will include some landscaping tips, lighting & escape plan for you & your loved one. (These episodes are meant as a GENERAL guide to get you started & NOT as a complete survival course.  My goal in presenting this info is to get you AWARE of what can happen, & if the worst does occur  (tornado, flood, blizard, hurricane, disruption in food/electric grid...), you won't be part of the un-prepared & can ensure the safety of you & your family).
