Thank you for listening to The John
and Heidi Show Bonus Hour. I'm

10
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.719
excited for some fun things that are
coming up this week. We've got a

11
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:52.240
very funny comic that's going to be
in the area on Thursday. I tried

12
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:54.920
to get him on the phone today, but we're gonna actually chat tomorrow,

13
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.759
which is just fine. Coming up
later, we're gonna have Brent Baker stop

14
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:00.679
in the studio with a little real
state update for the city of Sioux Falls

15
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.480
in the surrounding area. So if
you're in the market to buy a home

16
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.840
or sell a home, I encourage
you to talk to Brent Baker. He's

17
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.920
amazing. He's actually the realtor that
we worked with, So I just did

18
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.159
a different home about a year ago. Also coming up, we've got this

19
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.400
day in Sioux Falls history, and
today's Sioux Falls history has to do with

20
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.239
a person who became president not once, not twice, not three times,

21
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.280
but four times. The only person
to be elected four times to the US

22
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.640
presidency was in Sioux Falls on this
day. We're going to chat about that

23
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.159
coming up in a bit. Thanks

On a Monday. I'm excited to have

33
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:14.000
Brent Baker join us. He is
with Keller Williams and Clients First Group.

34
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:15.879
How are you doing, sir,
I'm doing well. I'm excited to have

35
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.400
you in here. We've been talking
for the last couple of weeks, kind

36
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.800
of going through a checklist on things
that people should be aware of to make

37
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:27.080
sure that their property is well maintained, not only for them while they're living

38
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.639
there, but to also keep the
value up when it's time someday to sell

39
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.520
that home. We went through a
lot of stuff for the outside. We

40
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:38.080
talked about a lot of plumbing things
now and we mentioned dryer vents last week,

41
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.000
which is another thing that people don't
necessarily think about. But now let's

42
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:44.240
talk about the hood vent and you're
stove, because that's another thing. I

43
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.000
guess I've never even thought about my
hood vent. But that's kind of important,

44
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:53.080
isn't it correct Not many of today's
homes vent directly to the outside.

45
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:59.840
They recirculate, So the underneath of
your microwave, if your microwave is mounted

46
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.240
above your range, there is sort
of a hood there. There's a filter

47
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.840
in there that gets dirty, or
if you have just a typical stove hood

48
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:15.879
and it's also recycling. Kite recycle
recycles the air. Excuse me, there's

49
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:21.039
a filter there that needs to be
cleaned. And those things cannot do their

50
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.680
job if they're plugged. And so
if your house is starting to smell a

51
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:29.159
little bit, or when you cook
bake and you get smoke everywhere, maybe

52
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.120
that's just made from cooking it too
hot. I don't cook very often,

53
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.719
but over time, you just know
that things add up. Speaking of appliances,

54
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:40.400
there's others that are probably important to
think about as well, like a

55
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:46.599
refrigerator and freezer and those kind of
things. Correct, refrigerators need to be

56
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.479
cleaned. Some have a filter for
the air, some have a filter for

57
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:55.759
the water. So there's things to
look at. And you know, nobody

58
00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:00.120
likes a dirty fridge. Nobody wants
to pull food out of a dirty fridge,

59
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.400
and you need to clean behind it. Yeah, it dirt collects back

60
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:08.800
there, and you have big dust
bunnies and those affect the efficiency of your

61
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.319
refrigerator. So those coils get dirty. They need to be cleaned. Thes

62
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:14.919
a reason there's wheels on that thing
to roll it out and get back there

63
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.120
and roll it back. They weren't
just for installation, No, And now

64
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.360
the electrical system is another thing that
you might not think about, but that's

65
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:24.759
a pretty important thing. A newer
home maybe not something you have to worry

66
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.040
about nearly as much, but if
you're looking at an older home, there

67
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.279
could be some concerns there, couldn't
there correct A lot is changed in that

68
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:38.040
field over the decades. You know, there's still homes with fuse boxes and

69
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:45.800
with knobn tube wiring or steelcase or
fiber cover, and sometimes those have been

70
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.079
affected by rodents. Older homes tend
to have a problem because rodents have had

71
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:54.680
more opportunity to get in because there's
just more places for them to get in.

72
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:59.560
Yeah, but even in a newer
home, an outlet could go bad,

73
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.480
could short out light switches. We
have ceiling fans, all the different

74
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:10.720
types of light fixtures. So when
a fixture goes bad, sometimes it's just

75
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:15.079
a ball, but if the ball
doesn't fix it, we have something deeper.

76
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:19.279
And you know, electrical is probably
one of the main causes of fires,

77
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.040
you know, home, and if
there is an issue like that,

78
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.600
don't leave that issue. If you
go what's going on? It's not a

79
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.399
light bulb it's something else, get
somebody in to fix it right away,

80
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.480
because you would hate to find out
that it's something else really bad by waking

81
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.000
up in the middle of the night
with a house on fire. Yep,

82
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:39.120
that's not not to wake up call. I want no now. Another thing

83
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.480
that's really important is a foundation.
Everything is built upon that, and that's

84
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.519
something that you want to make sure. I remember we were looking at some

85
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.120
homes and we're like, oh,
that's kind of like humped in over there,

86
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.720
and that's kind of cracked over there. So these are things that are

87
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:55.560
really important when you're working on making
sure that a home is as good as

88
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.879
it can possibly be. This is
kind of where it all starts, has

89
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:05.040
none correct If you see a crooked
rough line and the floors walk crooked,

90
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:10.680
well, then your problem has started
in the basement. Yeah. And whether

91
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:15.120
that is a foundation that is shifting, buckling, or maybe just the center

92
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.279
beam is needing to be re leveled. Older houses, you'll see that quite

93
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:24.519
often. But sometimes you have a
wall that's starting to buckle from outside pressure.

94
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.079
And that's more common in a block
wall than a board wall by far

95
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:34.439
when it comes to newer construction.
But also this goes back to that very

96
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:39.720
first discussion we had about gutters.
Yeah, if the gutters are not present

97
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:45.120
or are not functional because they're plugged, now the rain is collecting at the

98
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.759
base of the foundation and that has
potential for a great harm. And there

99
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:53.319
are companies that can fix that.
So you know, just because there's an

100
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.160
issue with the found dation doesn't mean
oh, we're done. This is not

101
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.720
going to work, But there are
companies that can fix it. But there's

102
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.040
also an investment. And that's where
you're saying, if I'm going to sell

103
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.199
my house, maybe it makes sense
to get that done first, so now

104
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:08.439
you don't scare away a lot of
buyers. And you can also say,

105
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:10.959
hey, we just had all of
this done and it's not a project that

106
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.120
the next person has to go,
oh, hey, look what we get

107
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:14.639
to do. You know, we
get to deal with all of this.

108
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.279
Well, it tends to be a
great fear in people's minds, and they

109
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:23.120
tend to walk away from a lot
of houses where the foundation could be fixed.

110
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.879
Yeah, but in their mind,
the house is collapsing. Yeah,

111
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:31.480
and perception is reality quite often,
so it's best to just get those things

112
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:38.279
addressed. They can be straightened,
they can be repaired and that puts people's

113
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.480
mind at ease. Absolutely. I
think the last thing that we get to

114
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:45.279
talk about now is the heating and
cooling, and it's an important thing.

115
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.000
I don't know why we put it
last on the list here, but this

116
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.199
time of year, you want to
make sure the air conditioner works. In

117
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.680
the winter time, you want to
make sure the heater works. That's another

118
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:56.360
thing to just a little maintenance goes
a long way, doesn't it. It

119
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:01.560
truly does. You know here in
the Midwest, where we have heat and

120
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.399
humidity in the summer and we get
very, very cold in the winter,

121
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.519
the last thing you want to do
is to make an emergency call, especially

122
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.120
in the winter. Yeah, it
takes time to get furnaces, it takes

123
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:18.079
time to install them, and there's
not a lot you can do to offset

124
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:24.519
that emergency. So it's best too, on an annual or semi annual basis,

125
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.079
have your furnace inspected, make sure
it's clean, that the burners are

126
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:33.799
adjusted correctly, change the filters.
Change filters is a big, big thing.

127
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:39.039
And maybe just have your duckwork cleaned
and eliminate some pollens and some other

128
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:46.080
things, and and then your air
conditioner it is supposed to stand level.

129
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.559
It's they I've always been told up
to five degrees, it's fine. Another

130
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:56.039
thing is that those coils get dirty, so to turn the AC off,

131
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.120
pull the fan motor and wash it
from the inside out so that you're not

132
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:05.279
packing the dirt further in because it
entered from the outside. But that will

133
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:11.240
make your air conditioner much more efficient
and give it a lot more life.

134
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.879
Nice Brent. If somebody listening is
going, hey, this has been fascinating,

135
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.480
I'd like to know more. First
of all, they get this checklist

136
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.039
from you, or if they maybe
want to buy a home or sell a

137
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.120
home, how do they get a
holding Brant? The best way is six
