4/25/26 - OPEN HOME HOUR: Live Listener Call-Ins, Texts & Emails | WEEKLY TO-DO: #EmergencyPreparedness

In this live listener call-in episode of 'Rosie on the House,' host Rosie Romero opens with a patriotic tribute to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, spotlighting Paul Revere’s midnight ride and the role of Minutemen during the Revolutionary War. She then transitions into practical home advice for Arizona homeowners, focusing on allergy relief during high pollen season, emphasizing the importance of air filtration and cautioning against overpriced, commission-driven HVAC filter sales. Rosie shares her father’s allergist perspective: while indoor air quality matters, outdoor exposure makes complete isolation impractical. She also discusses septic system maintenance with new partner Ed Leesonby of Cave Creek Septic, advocating for risers and regular pumping. The episode covers summer home preparation, including using five-gallon buckets to maintain humidity, securing homes against storms, and installing whole-house surge protectors. A key theme is emergency preparedness for Arizona’s monsoon season, with tips on roof inspections, removing DIY shade structures, and water storage. The segment concludes with a trivia contest and a feature on a staycation prize at Prescott’s historic Hacienda Inn, highlighting its rich history and guest experiences.
