(promo/theme song)
TOM: Coast to coast and floorboards to shingles. This is The Money Pit Home Improvement Radio Show. I’m Tom Kraeutler.
LESLIE: And I’m Leslie Segrete.
TOM: Call us right now with your home improvement project. Call us right now with your do-it-yourself dilemma. The number is 1-888-MONEY-PIT. 888-666-3974. Call us now because we are heading into the Goldilocks season for home improvement and you’re probably saying, ‘Why do you call it the Goldilocks season, Tom?’ Well, because …
LESLIE: I’m like what does home improvement have to do with story time?
TOM: … it’s not too hot and it’s not too cold. It’s the perfect weather, right now in the fall, to tackle all sorts of home improvement projects around your house. Think about it: you can work outside; you can work inside; there are very few weather limitations and it’s time to get those jobs done.

And one of those projects you might want to tackle is insulating your home, because the right insulation can actually make a huge difference in your energy bills.

You can have a chance to win 5,000 bucks cash and a whole bunch of other home improvement products.
Leslie, I think the prize pool is now up to about 20K in stuff.
LESLIE: Man, that’s amazing and I have to tell you, I think the answer to the rinsing the dishes question is going to vary on if you ask me or if you ask my mom.
TOM: (chuckling) Well, I think it’s definitely a generational angle to that. (Leslie chuckles) But we’ll have the answer to that and much more in just a bit.
LESLIE: And we’re giving away a great prize this hour. We’ve got a set of three Pizzazz mirror squares from MirrorMate and these are going to add the perfect amount of d
