Episode Details

In Episode 6 of TSpark Talks, Ben and Travis take listeners into the wild side of construction with a storytelling episode full of bizarre job-site encounters. From copper thieves stripping an AC unit in broad daylight to contractors discovering beer-can roof flashing, the duo recounts the setbacks, headaches, and humor that come with building in Florida. They dive into animal run-ins—free-range parrots perched on heads, raccoons in crawlspaces, cats and their lingering effects, and the unmistakable smell of bat guano that can ruin a house.

The hosts also explain how materials like copper fluctuate wildly in price and why pests like bees and squirrels create hidden hazards for homeowners.
