HOME IMPROVEMENT EXPERT DANNY LIPFORD GIVES US THE KNOWLEDGE TO IMPROVE OUR HOME’S INDOOR AIR QUALITY

WHAT’S YOUR I.A.Q. IQ?

Home Improvement Expert Danny Lipford Gives You The Knowledge to Improve Your Home’s Indoor Air Quality

Over the years, homeowners have made their houses more energy efficient by caulking, weather-stripping, and insulating--great for lower energy bills but not so great for indoor air quality! Poor Indoor Air Quality is the source of allergies, breakouts and respiratory illnesses.

The lack of adequate ventilation, improper storage of chemicals and improper filtering is causing the air inside your home to be 5-8 times more polluted than outside air. October is Indoor Air Quality Month and Home Improvement Danny Lipford is here to share his tips to improve your  “I.A.Q.” IQ just in time for those colder months spent indoors!

CLAY GANTZ – OWNER, GANTZ FAMILY VINEYARDS & THE 1ST VP ON THE RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY WINEGROWERS BOARD             

The small size of Gantz Family Vineyards, just 4.5 planted acres, allows Clay Gantz to farm in a precise and labor-intensive manner. The hands-on work of trunk training, pruning, shoot positioning, leafing, irrigating and monitoring for pests have allowed Clay to get to know each and every vine; he works collaboratively with the rest of the vineyard team to make sure each plant gets what it needs. Clay and his wife Celeste bought the property in 2009, established the vineyard in 2010 and sold their first harvest to Kosta Browne Winery in 2013. Clay is an award-winning amateur winemaker who completed the certificate program in winemaking offered by the world-renowned Department of Viticulture and Enology at the University of California, Davis, Extension for individuals employed in the wine industry. He is vice president of the Russian River Valley Winegrowers.

The Russian River Valley Winegrowers (RRVW) is a community dedicated to promoting the Russian River Valley as the premier region for growing cool climate grapes while producing wines that showcase the diversity of our many neighborhoods.
