The Money Pit

Always have this show on, while sewing or working inside and outside the house. The broadcasters, Leslie and Tom, have pleasant voices and are very kind. Growing up with my dad, my best friend, was my joy in life. He was a chief in the navy, an electrician, carpenter and plumber.
I learned so much from him…. He’s in Heaven now, so I don’t have him to guide me along, with my money pit.. I have a great sense of pride, being a DIYer, it’s fun, and I save a so much money…
Every single episode of The Money Pit has so many tips, I learn constantly, and am also reassured that I did something right or when I didn’t… I couldn’t get alone without all the shared knowledge from the Tom and Leslie…. Dawn in CT

Good info but…

I love the show and the information, but the hosts act like they have no time for each called and are always trying to hurry everyone up on the call. It’s annoying and feels like a fake sense of time constraint just to get people off the phone. They talk so fast in their answer and don’t really care to get details when the caller offers. It would be nice if they acted like this was a real podcast and provided enough time for themselves to actually do it without it always feeling so rushed through.
Love the show, just wish it was a little differently run.

Great podcast covering relevant topics in just the right depth. I enjoy the way you troubleshoot with the listener and offer options for resolving repair problems. Keep up the good work

Long Time Listener

Money Pit is a must listen podcast. At least for me it is. I’m all about DIY. There are many components to owning a home or helping some else with theirs. Every topic you can think of is covered here. The advice given is spot on. Looking for guidance on your home this is the place. Thanks guys!! Love the show!!

Tom and Leslie are fantastic and welcoming

I got into the home improvement kick during the pandemic and then sold my house I completely renovated for a smaller one to renovate as well - but increased my commute. I discovered Tom and Leslie after my wife suggested I find some podcasts to listen to on my drive to and from work. What can I say - Tom and Leslie are practical, informative, and know their stuff.

It has been about 2 months since I discovered them and they have both confirmed things I already knew and taught me some new things. I listen to them weekly and appreciate both their planned tips and the questions they answer.

Not bad

I’ve been listening for about two days and i find this show pretty good. I wanted to find a show that helped me learn to build or DIY projects. So far it seems to help and if you go to their vlog they write articles on it also. Overall great listen for anyone who wants to fix up their home!

These guys know homes

I actually just recently stumbled upon this podcast and I am so glad I did. It doesn’t take long to realize these guys know what is up with your home issues. I have learned several things in the short time I have been listening to them. If you are stumped on a home repair or home improvement I recommend you check the Money Pit out.

Here for the “you live in a money pit!” jingle 🎶

Honestly the best part is when they finish a segment and the voices from the jingle suddenly shout out “you live in a money pit!” jauntily. I’ve almost cried from laughing multiple times. Aside from that I’ve learned stuff I will hopefully remember in case it’s ever relevant to me. But Tom is a bit monotonous and man-splainy. Leslie is better, at least she has more personality. Overall though they do not seem to value salvaging or historical homes, always suggesting to get new windows or metal roofing (oh yeah, metal roofing is a sponsor, hmmm).

Good Basic information

From 4/21/22, on clutter, I liked the rule of 5 to put away five items or spend 5 minutes an hour cleaning something, which will add up to an hour of cleaning if I can do this six times a day. The 6/26/23 settings on adjusting a sprinkler system to save water are usually already provided when it is installed. There are moisture sensors to avoid watering during rain, as well as timers to control watering times and days of the week for watering.
