NEW – Cobwebs to Candy Canes: The Fast Flip to Christmas + Your Photos Aren’t Safe in the Cloud

Part 1
One day it’s skeletons and cobwebs — the next, it’s reindeer and ribbon. Shane Hewitt and Handy Andy Baryer unpack the sudden switch from Halloween to Christmas, revealing what this seasonal whiplash says about retailers, habits, and our homes.

They swap stories of holiday décor gone rogue, debate when it’s “too late” to take it all down, and pivot to a more serious seasonal issue: indoor humidity. Learn how to use dehumidifiers properly, what happens when humidity goes unchecked, and why flood prep matters more than ever. Handy Andy shares a real-life basement flood story that brings the advice home — literally.

Part 2
That cloud icon isn’t as secure as it looks. In this episode, Shane Hewitt and Handy Andy Baryer unpack the growing challenge of digital photo storage — from bloated Google Photos accounts to forgotten folders buried in cloud backups.

They offer real-world solutions: external hard drives, proper organizing techniques, and how to use Google Takeout to regain control. The conversation likens digital photo hoarding to cluttered basements and ends on a nostalgic note — the value of turning images into photo books that outlast algorithms.
