So home with Dean, 53 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.639 get it done, Get it done, all right, let's we 54 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.879 got time for a call, of course we do. Let's 55 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.919 go to the phones. Anna welcome home. 56 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:47.919 Yes, oh, good morning, Dean, thank you for taking my call. 57 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:55.120 I have a reset plug in one of my bathrooms 58 00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.599 and I noticed the night light wasn't working, and and 59 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.919 checking out the plug, it has a red light flashing. 60 00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:10.319 And also I couldn't I couldn't push any of the 61 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:14.919 tests or the reset but on that plug. So what's 62 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.600 going on with that? I? You know, I did go 63 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.839 to the electrical box, and I thought, well, maybe I'll 64 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.959 just switch that plug back and forth and maybe that'll 65 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.120 cure or whatever's going on. But it didn't. 66 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.839 Okay, Anna, you are so smart about this, you're so 67 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.360 well informed about this, all right. So it's a GFI 68 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.000 or that's my abbreviation, that's what we use in the industry. 69 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.800 It's a GFCI. It's a ground fault interrupt circuit breaker. 70 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.920 Those plugs, right, that's where they have little buttons on them. 71 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.759 They're there. They're required by code to be in bathrooms 72 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:57.519 and kitchens and anywhere that we've got electrical anywhere in 73 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:02.639 close proximity to sources of water or liquid. And unlike 74 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.600 a breaker at the panel, breakers at the panel they 75 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.800 pop when there's some kind of you know, short circuit 76 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:14.639 in the house. But breakers pop at a much higher 77 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:20.839 voltage voltage level than GFI plugs, And the breakers at 78 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.800 the panel not really designed to save anybody's life from electrocution. 79 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.680 They're designed to save the house from catching on fire, okay. 80 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:34.360 And that's why a more sensitive breaker is required in 81 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.160 the plug itself, and that's the GFI outlet, and that's 82 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.839 why it has the little test and reset button on it, right, 83 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.399 so you can test one. It'll pop, the red light 84 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.680 comes on, you press the reset button and you'll hear 85 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.240 it click and the green light comes back on and 86 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.079 you're good to go. Okay. In your case, you went 87 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.319 and tried the breaker, that would be one of my 88 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.879 pieces of advice if you hadn't done it. But it's not. 89 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:01.920 It's just that the red light is on. But the 90 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:07.120 red light is flashing correct, Yes, yes, okay, so Anna, 91 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:11.959 that simply means this that that that receptacle is done. 92 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.759 They do wear out even if you don't reset them. 93 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.199 A lot there's a mechanism inside. Not a lot of 94 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:25.000 people realize this, but but GFI plugs will eventually wear out. 95 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.399 And so when a red light is flashing on the plug, 96 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.839 there's something wrong with it. And if you can't reset it, 97 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.439 then that's sure is shooting. It is time to replace 98 00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:39.639 that plug. It's not the house, it's not the breaker, 99 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.920 and there's no major problem. It just means that that 100 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:44.920 little plug needs to be replaced. 101 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.759 Okay, all right, And it's just the simplest thing to do. 102 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:52.560 It is it is rare. I mean, if you're handy, 103 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.240 If you're handy, then you just go through the property. 104 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:56.839 You know, First of all, you make sure that the 105 00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:59.680 breaker is off so that there's no energy coming through 106 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:03.279 those wires whatsoever. And then you got the new plug, 107 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:05.879 you got the old plug, You pull the old plug out. 108 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:08.360 I love to tell people to take a picture with 109 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.319 their phones of where the wires are attached to the 110 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.639 existing plug before you undo it all, so you don't 111 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.720 lose track of which side goes where. Take a picture 112 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.759 both sides. You undo the two wires that are going 113 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:22.839 into it, put those into the new plug, put it 114 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:24.240 back in the wall. You're good to go. 115 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:31.800 Okay, Now, apparently that bathroom connects also to a second bathroom, 116 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.680 so I have an issue with the plugs in that 117 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.000 second bathroom. So is there anything else that needs to 118 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:40.639 be done? 119 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:47.319 Probably not, Yeah, probably not. If you've got two bathrooms 120 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.360 close to each other, or back to back with each other, 121 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.079 something like that. Quite often that circuit gets run and 122 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.560 it's one GFI controlling all the plugs everywhere. So if 123 00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:01.199 you got a bad one, then everything else is down temporarily. 124 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.959 Once you fix that plug by replacing it, everything else 125 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.120 should pop back on. You should be good to go. Anna, 126 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:10.959 Thank you so much for your call, and thanks for 127 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.800 listening to the show. And you know, if you don't 128 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:15.959 want to handle it yourself, that's a quick handyman or 129 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.800 electrical thing for an electrician to do. But you know, 130 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.720 handy people can get in there. Just got to make 131 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.959 sure the powers off. That's all I'm saying. That's the 132 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:26.959 only worry that you've got to make sure the power 133 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.079 is off and take your time with it. All right, y'all, 134 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.000 more of your calls when we return your home with 135 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:36.639 Dean Sharp the House Whisper. Say fine, Dean Sharp, the 136 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:40.759 house Whisper at your service. Thanks for joining us on 137 00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.519 the program. We are taking calls. I want to go 138 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.039 back to the phone. Let's talk to Lindy. Hey, Lindy, 139 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:48.879 welcome home. 140 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:53.360 Good thank you, Good morning, Dean. I've been listening to 141 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:57.480 your show since it aired first day, the Story of 142 00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.799 your Home, and you're awesome. 143 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:05.120 Oh I'm sorry. I'm sorry you've had to be listening 144 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.399 that long. I've gotten a little better, I hope as. 145 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:09.799 We go on. 146 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.039 No, you're great, You're great. I have a basic, boring 147 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:17.879 based house and I want to paint my bedroom and 148 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.519 I don't know how to pick color or how many 149 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.559 walls to do. If all, I just don't have any idea. 150 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:26.799 Okay, well what color do you like? 151 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:32.320 Well? I like the rose colors, and I think that's 152 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:33.159 where I want to go. 153 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.120 All right, So you're so, you're in the family, you 154 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.840 already you already know kind of where you're leaning when 155 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:42.399 when we walk into your bedroom. Okay, there are two 156 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:46.399 perspectives here. This can be for you when you're in bed, 157 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.200 or it can be for you as a presentation for 158 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.960 your bedroom. So the reason I'm saying that is because 159 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.360 I'm well, you've listened to the show for years now, 160 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.519 you know that I'm not a fan of taking a 161 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.320 a bold, exciting color and just wrapping it on all 162 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.320 the walls in a room, because all of a sudden 163 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.000 you're living, you know, in a rose cave, and that's 164 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:14.159 not fun for anybody. Okay, So the question is feature wall. 165 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:18.360 And feature walls are fantastic, right because they stand in 166 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:21.960 contrast to the other walls. They draw attention to themselves. 167 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.120 They're beautiful, they're a lot, but they're not too much. 168 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.960 And so the typical way that we would do a 169 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:34.440 feature wall would be presentationally is take a look at 170 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.600 what are we looking at when we walk in the 171 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.639 door to the bedroom, and where do we want to 172 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.519 look now? Usually the bed is the star of the bedroom. 173 00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:48.759 And this is why more often than not, maybe eight 174 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.080 times out of ten, maybe nine times out of ten, 175 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.960 the feature wall is behind the bed. It's the bed 176 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.679 and the headboard, and then there's the feature wall color 177 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.799 framing the bed that the bed is anchor in. This 178 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:04.159 your favorite color for this room, and then the rest 179 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.600 of the walls are just doing what they're doing, playing 180 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:11.679 a supporting role. Sometimes a client will say, oh, well, 181 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:14.960 but you know, when I'm in my bed, I want 182 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.480 to see that color. And so we're like, all right, well, 183 00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.120 then what's the wall that we're looking at when we're 184 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.200 in bed, And then we consider whether that's the feature wall, 185 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.080 But nine times out of ten it is. It's usually 186 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.000 about no, I just want to walk in. I don't 187 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.240 care what colors I'm looking at once I'm in bed. 188 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:34.480 I want to walk into my room and I just 189 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:38.480 wanted to just really kind of shine. And so this 190 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.279 is probably a situation where we're going to pick your 191 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:46.759 favorite color of a rose, and we're going to treat 192 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:48.399 the wall that is behind the bed. 193 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.600 Oh okay, that yeah, that sounds perfect. 194 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.080 And then then what that does is it gives you 195 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.919 an opportunity. The opportunity is then okay, once this row 196 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.759 is on the wall, and we can do this from 197 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:05.279 either direction. What I'm about to say. Once the rose 198 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.360 is on the wall, then accessories like you know, bedspreads 199 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.200 or throw pillows on the bed can be in the 200 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.559 same tone. They can be corresponding to that rose. Now 201 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.639 not everything. I don't want the whole bed rose on 202 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:21.120 rows and rows and rows because then again, now we're 203 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:23.519 getting back to the whole thing. There's too much of it. 204 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:27.440 But if we've got the bed with you know, a 205 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.519 a well, I'll give our bedroom as an example. Tina's 206 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.480 got it set up where we've got this big, this 207 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:38.559 this deep blue on the wall behind our bed, and 208 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:45.159 then our our comforter and main pillows are something else, 209 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:46.919 kind of what would you call it, like a silvery 210 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:51.879 beige and pattern. There's like a flooral that, but the 211 00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:56.879 the accent pillows are boom that blue. The accent pillars 212 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.840 are corresponding with the wall, and the whole thing is 213 00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:02.720 just lovely. And I walk into my bedroom and I 214 00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:06.799 just I look up from my busyness and I think, oh, 215 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.360 I like this, and uh, and that's what you're after on. 216 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:12.799 Oh good, thank you. Now I'm want to head out 217 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:14.600 to Benjamin Moore. 218 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:19.000 Oh my god. Oh and by the way, let me 219 00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:25.320 just remind you and everybody else, when you're doing paint colors, uh, 220 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.720 go the go to the store, look at the swatches, 221 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.600 and you know, buy three or four samples in different 222 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:34.399 tones that you think might be a winner. But get 223 00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:39.080 them home and spread those out as large as possible 224 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.320 on the wall in question. Because the reason why people 225 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.360 you know, they'll they'll get a little color chip and 226 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.879 they'll think, oh, that's the right one, and then they 227 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:51.000 buy two gallons of paint and they come home and 228 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:52.440 they paint it on the wall and they're like, it 229 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.080 doesn't look the same. What is wrong with them? There's 230 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.440 nothing wrong with them. There's nothing wrong with the paint. 231 00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:03.039 Paint changes. Color. Color is a is a movable, flexible thing, 232 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:06.600 and so it isn't just about oh, this color looks 233 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:08.639 great in the store. It has to be the right 234 00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.840 color for the light in that room, on that wall, 235 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:15.200 at that location. That's when you know you've got the 236 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.279 right color. And the only way that you know is 237 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.279 to spread those samples out large swatches on the wall 238 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:25.600 because the more of the paint there is, the color 239 00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:30.639 changes as well. So big big sample swatches on the wall, 240 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.120 on the wall in question, so you can make the 241 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:33.799 best decision. 242 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.000 Excellent. Thank you. And just as an aside, you sounded 243 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:42.000 as if you had been on the show forever on 244 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:46.799 your very first day, So just to say you are awesome. 245 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:51.559 Oh, thank you, Lindy. Thank you so much. Kind Pete. 246 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:56.360 Why are people so nice? All right, Lindy, Lindy should 247 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.480 come to the Holiday show.

I went long 262 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:44.639 in the last segment, so this one's gonna be a 263 00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:47.480 little shorter, but we got time for one here. Let's 264 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:50.440 dive in and talk to Vince. Hey, Vince, welcome home. 265 00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.440 Hey good yeah, yeah, y'all do it. 266 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:54.240 So. 267 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.279 I got three six inch tam lights in my kitchen. 268 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.320 The one over the kitchen sak where it's just fine. 269 00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:06.360 A couple of weeks ago, the furthest one just burned out, 270 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:09.440 and then the one in the middle kind of comes 271 00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.759 on a little bit. Is that full power, and then 272 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.399 shuts off after a couple hours. And then I turn 273 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.840 off all the lights for five or six hours, come home, 274 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:21.480 turn them back on. The middle one works fine the 275 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:24.960 kitchen lay orgs, but the other one wouldn't work. So 276 00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:27.799 I finally got enough money to go buy some six 277 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:30.480 inch replacements. I go and I put it in and 278 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.000 it's got that you know, a little orange clip slide in, 279 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.840 the orange clip turned back on. The power was on 280 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:41.080 for five seconds before it went pop and skin of 281 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.279 the electrical smell brought it back because I thought it 282 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.399 was a defective unit. Got another one, came home, same thing. 283 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.960 What the heck? What the heck's going on there? 284 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:58.080 All right, I got pretty screwed over by this house. 285 00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:02.519 But the wiring to these cans, this is you know, 286 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:05.759 you know that you've got the right voltage. We're not 287 00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:08.440 running to twenty to these things, right. 288 00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:13.720 It's eats exactly exactly. Yeah, everything's good. Everybody's coming out 289 00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:16.680 one because the other one's working. They're all in the 290 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:21.000 same circuit. The thing is is all the wall outlets 291 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.799 and all the lights are on the same fues. It's 292 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:27.759 a sixty m box and then there's like four or 293 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:31.759 five things like the fridge, the stove, and they have 294 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:33.359 a separate circuit. And that's about it. 295 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:36.720 Okay, Yeah, well that shouldn't be. I mean, if we're 296 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:40.119 overloading the breaker, then the breaker will pop. So I'm 297 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:43.319 not really concerned that they're on the same circuit. I'm 298 00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:48.680 concerned that something's going on with the recessed can housing itself. 299 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:56.279 There are various housings out there, and sometimes when people 300 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:58.480 are buying them, like at a big box store or whatever, 301 00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:01.200 sometimes you don't notice me. Maybe you got a low 302 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:05.240 voltage a transformer version or something, and then high voltage 303 00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:07.799 is blowing it out. So do you know the brand 304 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:13.079 of the housing, and are you using that brand appropriate 305 00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:16.039 trim in other words, the little led you know, the 306 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:19.240 plug in because sometimes you can't cross brands with those 307 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:24.680 either because of the nature of voltage that's going into them. 308 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:28.400 Okay, yeah, I bought the house in twenty one and 309 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:30.480 never had any issues with them. I mean when I 310 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.400 pulled them out, it's all Slovenia. But the Sylvania replacements 311 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:37.279 are like one hundred and eighty bucks per late, so 312 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:41.400 I went with the twenty five dollars option, and yeah, 313 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:43.200 maybe that is the issue. 314 00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:46.519 Yeah, and it doesn't. That's not to say that that 315 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:50.839 you act absolutely have to get the Sylvania, but you 316 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:53.960 got to check the specs on the Sylvania to make 317 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:58.240 sure whatever those specs are, to make sure that whatever 318 00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:03.559 you're plugging in there is up with the same specifications. Otherwise, 319 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.079 if you're putting essentially what is a low voltage fixture 320 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:13.119 into a high voltage output, then yeah, you're gonna blow them. 321 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:15.799 They're just gonna blow. And it sounds like that's what happened. 322 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.720 Actually, well that sounds bigger than the one I was 323 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.359 freaking about because I thought I had a mice issue somewhere. 324 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:23.079 Yeah. 325 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:24.960 No, I mean, if you if you had a short, 326 00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:27.799 then the breaker would be popping and everything would just 327 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:32.279 be going off. You're plugging in a trim into the 328 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:35.960 existing housing and the trim is blowing, and that's because 329 00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:39.920 something is wrong with the matchup, the mating of the housing, 330 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.720 what the housing wants and what it's giving to the trim. 331 00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:45.440 They're not aligning with each other, and as a result, 332 00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:50.359 it's blowing out there, Vince. So check the specs. If 333 00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:52.839 you open up and look on the inside of the 334 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.720 housing itself without the trim in there, you should find 335 00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:59.640 a model number or some of the specifications. Take your phone, 336 00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:03.759 take picture of it, write it all down and make 337 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:05.359 sure and then you could you could even go to 338 00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:07.880 the Sylvania website and find it, but write it all 339 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:10.200 down and then take that information with you when you 340 00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:13.880 go to shop for the trims, whatever that case may be. 341 00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:17.240 Make sure that they're mating up properly. Just because the 342 00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:20.880 plugs were the plug adapter is a universal adapter. It's 343 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:24.160 not a guarantee that every trim works with every kind 344 00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:28.640 of can in a voltage capacity. All right, Vince, thanks 345 00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:31.799 for the call, buddy, I appreciate it.

All right, just a 374 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:10.319 couple of more minutes here, I'm going to talk about 375 00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:14.720 one thing that I was going to discuss concrete. I'm 376 00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:18.039 going to leave concrete hardscape for tomorrow. But here is 377 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:25.519 a simple thing that everybody needs to know about. One 378 00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:29.799 of the ways that you are not stuck with the 379 00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:33.200 weirdness of let's say the front yard or the rear 380 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:38.920 yard landscaping is to realize that you don't have to 381 00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:46.240 obey the old brick planter beds. You don't, Okay. One 382 00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:49.559 of the hardest things as a homeowner is to realize 383 00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:56.359 and really understand what is permanent and really tough to 384 00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:02.039 change about your home and what just looks permanent. Just 385 00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:05.680 because something has been sitting there for sixty years does 386 00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:09.559 not mean it's hard to change. It just means that 387 00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:13.839 everybody has accepted it for all of this time. And 388 00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:19.319 little brick planter beds are one of those things that 389 00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:22.400 we see all the time. Now, do I have anything 390 00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:24.039 against a little brick planter bed. 391 00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:24.279 No. 392 00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:28.880 Sometimes they're lovely and they're quaint, and they work just 393 00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:33.200 perfectly with the vibe that you want to produce in 394 00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:38.440 your front or backyard. However, more often than not, especially 395 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:44.119 an older little brick planter bed, the brick is starting 396 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:47.279 to break. Maybe a tree root is underneath it, maybe 397 00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:51.480 it has uplifted it, maybe it's falling apart, or maybe 398 00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:57.240 just maybe it's in a weird location that made sense 399 00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:02.000 to a time and an era fifty sixty seventy years 400 00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:05.519 ago when the house was built. But isn't the vibe 401 00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:08.119
