    Living Local with Tim Hoglund

    Living Local with Frisbee Real Estate | Tim Hoglund of Redline Chimney & Home ServicesWhat does being a firefighter teach you about protecting your home from chimney and dryer vent fires? In this episode of Living Local with Frisbee Real Estate, Ed Frisbee sits down with Tim Hoglund, owner of Redline Chimney & Home Services, a growing Western North Carolina business specializing in chimney cleaning, inspections, repairs, preventative maintenance, and dryer vent cleaning. Tim is also a Western North Carolina firefighter, and his experience responding to chimney fires and carbon monoxide calls helped inspire him to start Redline. After seeing firsthand how damaging these incidents can be, he began researching chimney maintenance and discovered a way to combine his firefighting experience with 15 years of previous carpentry experience. Chimney Maintenance and Home SafetyTim explains why homeowners shouldn't wait until there's an obvious chimney problem. He recommends annual chimney sweeping and inspections, especially for homes regularly using wood-burning fireplaces. He also explains the difference between a Level 1 visual inspection and a more detailed Level 2 camera inspection. Redline uses a 360-degree camera to inspect inside the flue for deteriorating mortar joints, cracked terracotta tiles, and other problems that may not be visible from outside the chimney. Tim particularly recommends this type of inspection when a property changes ownership or when the homeowner doesn't know the chimney's history. That's helpful information for anyone buying a home in Hendersonville, Asheville, Henderson County, Buncombe County, or elsewhere in Western North Carolina, especially an older home with a fireplace. More Than a Chimney SweepTim's vision for Redline goes beyond chimney sweeping. Services include chimney and fireplace inspections, masonry repairs, chimney liners, firebox repairs, preventative maintenance, dryer vent cleaning, and solutions for damaged chimney flues. His approach is also focused on transparency. Tim shows homeowners what he finds through photos and videos, explains the problem and potential solutions, and even encourages

Jay shares stories from more than five decades in the area, his family’s history in the local automotive business, and what led him into public service. Jay has called Henderson County home since 1972 and attended local public schools before heading to college at Chapel Hill. After working in the automotive industry in Utah and North Carolina, he became increasingly involved in local issues, first serving six years on the Henderson County Board of Education and later running for County Commission. Today, he represents District 5 but emphasizes that his responsibility is to residents throughout all of Henderson County. The conversation gives listeners a practical look at what the Henderson County Board of Commissioners actually handles, including county budgets, property taxes, zoning and ordinances, courthouse projects, sheriff’s department funding, growth, and coordination with local municipalities. Jay also talks about one of the themes that matters most to him: communication. Even when people disagree, he believes sitting down, listening, and understanding another person’s perspective can solve a lot of problems before they grow larger.

The episode also touches on Jay’s experience living with celiac disease and the challenges of finding truly gluten-free dining options. He gives credit to local restaurants and businesses that understand cross-contamination and mentions places like Arabella’s, Chick-fil-A, and Jimmy John’s as businesses where he has found workable options. When it comes to enjoying Henderson County, Jay encourages residents and visitors to explore beyond the usual stops. He recommends Carl Sandburg Home, Jump Off Rock, downtown Hendersonville, local farmers markets, apple orchards, and farms along Highway 64 East. His biggest message is simple: support local farmers, explore different parts of the county, and appreciate the mix of growth, agriculture, small towns, and rural character that makes Henderson County unique. This episode is a great conversation about Henderson County growth, local government, community leadership, small business history, agriculture, and what it means to truly know the place you call home.

    Living Local with Lynn Staggs from The Storehouse

    Episode 30: Lynn Staggs with The Storehouse in Henderson County, NCIn Episode 30 of Living Local with Frisbee Real Estate, Ed welcomes back Lynn Staggs, founder and executive director of The Storehouse, one of Henderson County’s most impactful nonprofit organizations. Lynn returns to discuss The Storehouse’s annual Fourth of July Matching Campaign, the organization's largest fundraiser dedicated entirely to feeding local families in need. For more than a decade, The Storehouse has hosted its Fourth of July fundraising campaign, which began when a retired veteran couple challenged the organization to raise funds by matching donations. What started as a $10,000 match has grown into a major community-wide effort. Last year alone, the campaign raised nearly $100,000, and this year The Storehouse hopes to reach a goal of $125,000 to support food assistance programs throughout Henderson County. Unlike many food assistance organizations, The Storehouse operates independently and is responsible for purchasing much of the food it distributes. Lynn shares that the organization spends approximately $135,000 annually on food, helping provide groceries and household essentials to local families, seniors, veterans, and individuals facing financial hardship. The conversation also highlights The Storehouse’s recently completed move into its new facility on Upward Road. The larger space allows volunteers and staff to better serve the growing number of residents seeking assistance. Lynn explains that demand continues to increase, especially among seniors living alone who often struggle to afford groceries, cleaning supplies, paper products, and other everyday necessities. One of the organization’s most meaningful programs is its Senior Delivery Route, which provides monthly deliveries of groceries and household essentials to homebound seniors who have limited transportation, little family support, and few available resources. Volunteers not only deliver food but also provide valuable wellness checks and personal connections for some of Henderson County’s most vulnerable residents. Lynn shares the heart behind The Storehouse, explaining that the ministry began from a desire to help elderly residents who were struggling to meet basic needs. More than 26 years later, that mission continues through food assistance, volunteer support, community partnerships, and outreach programs that serve hundreds of local families each year. Community members can support The Storehouse by: Donating to the Fourth of July Matching CampaignVolunteering at the new facilityAssisting with senior delivery routesOrganizing food drivesMaking financial contributions year-round Donations for the matching campaign can be made between June 1 and July 31 through The Storehouse website at storehouseonline.org or by mailing a contribution directly to the organization. For anyone looking to support a local nonprofit making a direct impact on food insecurity in Henderson County, this episode provides an inside look at the work The Storehouse is doing every day to care for neighbors in need. As always, keep living local.

    Living Local with Dr. Cory Noll

    In Episode 28 of Living Local with Frisbee Real Estate, Ed sits down with Dr. Cory Noll, founder of Edgewood Holistic Chiropractic Center in Asheville, North Carolina, to explore a different approach to health, healing, and overall wellness. With over 20 years of experience in chiropractic care, Dr. Noll has built his practice around a unique philosophy that goes beyond traditional adjustments. His focus is on the brain and nervous system, emphasizing how the body functions as a connected system rather than just treating isolated symptoms. A major theme of the episode is the role of stress in overall health.

His goal is to help patients move out of that state and restore balance, communication, and coherence within the body.

His focus is not just symptom relief, but helping patients achieve long-term healing and improved quality of life. Dr. Noll also shares his background in neuroscience research at Caltech and how that experience shaped his approach to chiropractic care. His passion lies in helping people understand how their bodies are designed to heal and function at a higher level.
