In this candid podcast episode, Ariel Kormendy and Adrian Trott cover everything from renovation permits to unexpected fire safety lessons. We kick things off by discussing which permits you need when renovating your home—and why it’s so important to follow your local codes (and why sometimes people skip them). The conversation then shifts to a personal recount of an office fire incident caused by improperly stored, oil-based stain rags. We detail how smart fire detection systems and proper fire extinguisher placement can save you from disaster at home. Finally, we touch on practical matters such as contractor shortcuts and potential tax increases when making modifications and even wrap up a lively real estate conversation about neighbourhoods and shopping differences in Mississauga and Milton.

Whether you’re a DIY renovator or simply curious about fire safety and property matters, this episode is full of real-world insights and humorous banter!
