We spent 14 hours with a busy Charlotte family of five. They’re the Emmerichs and they were such good sports. Would you let Dan, a producer and two photographers move into your house for a day? Think about it. (oh and if you will, email me…I’ll put you on my short list the next time we do this! Rclapp@wcnc.com)

It was a bit of an inconvenience, but they were so gracious and laid-back. A dream family for this challenge. You’d be surprised at the things you do every day that can put yourself at risk and that’s what you’ll learn from watching our month-long series. Dan Starks: House Call.
