Speaker 3: It's going to be a great time. So home with Dean,
Speaker 3: get it done, Get it done, all right, let's we
Speaker 3: got time for a call, of course we do. Let's
Speaker 3: go to the phones. Anna welcome home.
Speaker 4: Yes, oh, good morning, Dean, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 4: I have a reset plug in one of my bathrooms
Speaker 4: and I noticed the night light wasn't working, and and
Speaker 4: checking out the plug, it has a red light flashing.
Speaker 4: And also I couldn't I couldn't push any of the
Speaker 4: tests or the reset but on that plug. So what's
Speaker 4: going on with that? I? You know, I did go
Speaker 4: to the electrical box, and I thought, well, maybe I'll
Speaker 4: just switch that plug back and forth and maybe that'll
Speaker 4: cure or whatever's going on. But it didn't.
Speaker 3: Okay, Anna, you are so smart about this, you're so
Speaker 3: well informed about this, all right. So it's a GFI
Speaker 3: or that's my abbreviation, that's what we use in the industry.
Speaker 3: It's a GFCI. It's a ground fault interrupt circuit breaker.
Speaker 3: Those plugs, right, that's where they have little buttons on them.
Speaker 3: They're there. They're required by code to be in bathrooms
Speaker 3: and kitchens and anywhere that we've got electrical anywhere in
Speaker 3: close proximity to sources of water or liquid. And unlike
Speaker 3: a breaker at the panel, breakers at the panel they
Speaker 3: pop when there's some kind of you know, short circuit
Speaker 3: in the house. But breakers pop at a much higher
Speaker 3: voltage voltage level than GFI plugs, And the breakers at
Speaker 3: the panel not really designed to save anybody's life from electrocution.
Speaker 3: They're designed to save the house from catching on fire, okay.
Speaker 3: And that's why a more sensitive breaker is required in
Speaker 3: the plug itself, and that's the GFI outlet, and that's
Speaker 3: why it has the little test and reset button on it, right,
Speaker 3: so you can test one. It'll pop, the red light
Speaker 3: comes on, you press the reset button and you'll hear
Speaker 3: it click and the green light comes back on and
Speaker 3: you're good to go. Okay. In your case, you went
Speaker 3: and tried the breaker, that would be one of my
Speaker 3: pieces of advice if you hadn't done it. But it's not.
Speaker 3: It's just that the red light is on. But the
Speaker 3: red light is flashing correct, Yes, yes, okay, so Anna,
Speaker 3: that simply means this that that that receptacle is done.
Speaker 3: They do wear out even if you don't reset them.
Speaker 3: A lot there's a mechanism inside. Not a lot of
Speaker 3: people realize this, but but GFI plugs will eventually wear out.
Speaker 3: And so when a red light is flashing on the plug,
Speaker 3: there's something wrong with it. And if you can't reset it,
Speaker 3: then that's sure is shooting. It is time to replace
Speaker 3: that plug. It's not the house, it's not the breaker,
Speaker 3: and there's no major problem. It just means that that
Speaker 3: little plug needs to be replaced.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, And it's just the simplest thing to do.
Speaker 3: It is it is rare. I mean, if you're handy,
Speaker 3: If you're handy, then you just go through the property.
Speaker 3: You know, First of all, you make sure that the
Speaker 3: breaker is off so that there's no energy coming through
Speaker 3: those wires whatsoever. And then you got the new plug,
Speaker 3: you got the old plug, You pull the old plug out.
Speaker 3: I love to tell people to take a picture with
Speaker 3: their phones of where the wires are attached to the
Speaker 3: existing plug before you undo it all, so you don't
Speaker 3: lose track of which side goes where. Take a picture
Speaker 3: both sides. You undo the two wires that are going
Speaker 3: into it, put those into the new plug, put it
Speaker 3: back in the wall. You're good to go.
Speaker 4: Okay, Now, apparently that bathroom connects also to a second bathroom,
Speaker 4: so I have an issue with the plugs in that
Speaker 4: second bathroom. So is there anything else that needs to
Speaker 4: be done?
Speaker 3: Probably not, Yeah, probably not. If you've got two bathrooms
Speaker 3: close to each other, or back to back with each other,
Speaker 3: something like that. Quite often that circuit gets run and
Speaker 3: it's one GFI controlling all the plugs everywhere. So if
Speaker 3: you got a bad one, then everything else is down temporarily.
Speaker 3: Once you fix that plug by replacing it, everything else
Speaker 3: should pop back on. You should be good to go. Anna,
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your call, and thanks for
Speaker 3: listening to the show. And you know, if you don't
Speaker 3: want to handle it yourself, that's a quick handyman or
Speaker 3: electrical thing for an electrician to do. But you know,
Speaker 3: handy people can get in there. Just got to make
Speaker 3: sure the powers off. That's all I'm saying. That's the
Speaker 3: only worry that you've got to make sure the power
Speaker 3: is off and take your time with it. All right, y'all,
Speaker 3: more of your calls when we return your home with
Speaker 3: Dean Sharp the House Whisper. Say fine, Dean Sharp, the
Speaker 3: house Whisper at your service. Thanks for joining us on
Speaker 3: the program. We are taking calls. I want to go
Speaker 3: back to the phone. Let's talk to Lindy. Hey, Lindy,
Speaker 3: welcome home.
Speaker 5: Good thank you, Good morning, Dean. I've been listening to
Speaker 5: your show since it aired first day, the Story of
Speaker 5: your Home, and you're awesome.
Speaker 3: Oh I'm sorry. I'm sorry you've had to be listening
Speaker 3: that long. I've gotten a little better, I hope as.
Speaker 4: We go on.
Speaker 5: No, you're great, You're great. I have a basic, boring
Speaker 5: based house and I want to paint my bedroom and
Speaker 5: I don't know how to pick color or how many
Speaker 5: walls to do. If all, I just don't have any idea.
Speaker 3: Okay, well what color do you like?
Speaker 5: Well? I like the rose colors, and I think that's
Speaker 5: where I want to go.
Speaker 3: All right, So you're so, you're in the family, you
Speaker 3: already you already know kind of where you're leaning when
Speaker 3: when we walk into your bedroom. Okay, there are two
Speaker 3: perspectives here. This can be for you when you're in bed,
Speaker 3: or it can be for you as a presentation for
Speaker 3: your bedroom. So the reason I'm saying that is because
Speaker 3: I'm well, you've listened to the show for years now,
Speaker 3: you know that I'm not a fan of taking a
Speaker 3: a bold, exciting color and just wrapping it on all
Speaker 3: the walls in a room, because all of a sudden
Speaker 3: you're living, you know, in a rose cave, and that's
Speaker 3: not fun for anybody. Okay, So the question is feature wall.
Speaker 3: And feature walls are fantastic, right because they stand in
Speaker 3: contrast to the other walls. They draw attention to themselves.
Speaker 3: They're beautiful, they're a lot, but they're not too much.
Speaker 3: And so the typical way that we would do a
Speaker 3: feature wall would be presentationally is take a look at
Speaker 3: what are we looking at when we walk in the
Speaker 3: door to the bedroom, and where do we want to
Speaker 3: look now? Usually the bed is the star of the bedroom.
Speaker 3: And this is why more often than not, maybe eight
Speaker 3: times out of ten, maybe nine times out of ten,
Speaker 3: the feature wall is behind the bed. It's the bed
Speaker 3: and the headboard, and then there's the feature wall color
Speaker 3: framing the bed that the bed is anchor in. This
Speaker 3: your favorite color for this room, and then the rest
Speaker 3: of the walls are just doing what they're doing, playing
Speaker 3: a supporting role. Sometimes a client will say, oh, well,
Speaker 3: but you know, when I'm in my bed, I want
Speaker 3: to see that color. And so we're like, all right, well,
Speaker 3: then what's the wall that we're looking at when we're
Speaker 3: in bed, And then we consider whether that's the feature wall,
Speaker 3: But nine times out of ten it is. It's usually
Speaker 3: about no, I just want to walk in. I don't
Speaker 3: care what colors I'm looking at once I'm in bed.
Speaker 3: I want to walk into my room and I just
Speaker 3: wanted to just really kind of shine. And so this
Speaker 3: is probably a situation where we're going to pick your
Speaker 3: favorite color of a rose, and we're going to treat
Speaker 3: the wall that is behind the bed.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, that yeah, that sounds perfect.
Speaker 3: And then then what that does is it gives you
Speaker 3: an opportunity. The opportunity is then okay, once this row
Speaker 3: is on the wall, and we can do this from
Speaker 3: either direction. What I'm about to say. Once the rose
Speaker 3: is on the wall, then accessories like you know, bedspreads
Speaker 3: or throw pillows on the bed can be in the
Speaker 3: same tone. They can be corresponding to that rose. Now
Speaker 3: not everything. I don't want the whole bed rose on
Speaker 3: rows and rows and rows because then again, now we're
Speaker 3: getting back to the whole thing. There's too much of it.
Speaker 3: But if we've got the bed with you know, a
Speaker 3: a well, I'll give our bedroom as an example. Tina's
Speaker 3: got it set up where we've got this big, this
Speaker 3: this deep blue on the wall behind our bed, and
Speaker 3: then our our comforter and main pillows are something else,
Speaker 3: kind of what would you call it, like a silvery
Speaker 3: beige and pattern. There's like a flooral that, but the
Speaker 3: the accent pillows are boom that blue. The accent pillars
Speaker 3: are corresponding with the wall, and the whole thing is
Speaker 3: just lovely. And I walk into my bedroom and I
Speaker 3: just I look up from my busyness and I think, oh,
Speaker 3: I like this, and uh, and that's what you're after on.
Speaker 5: Oh good, thank you. Now I'm want to head out
Speaker 5: to Benjamin Moore.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Oh and by the way, let me
Speaker 3: just remind you and everybody else, when you're doing paint colors, uh,
Speaker 3: go the go to the store, look at the swatches,
Speaker 3: and you know, buy three or four samples in different
Speaker 3: tones that you think might be a winner. But get
Speaker 3: them home and spread those out as large as possible
Speaker 3: on the wall in question. Because the reason why people
Speaker 3: you know, they'll they'll get a little color chip and
Speaker 3: they'll think, oh, that's the right one, and then they
Speaker 3: buy two gallons of paint and they come home and
Speaker 3: they paint it on the wall and they're like, it
Speaker 3: doesn't look the same. What is wrong with them? There's
Speaker 3: nothing wrong with them. There's nothing wrong with the paint.
Speaker 3: Paint changes. Color. Color is a is a movable, flexible thing,
Speaker 3: and so it isn't just about oh, this color looks
Speaker 3: great in the store. It has to be the right
Speaker 3: color for the light in that room, on that wall,
Speaker 3: at that location. That's when you know you've got the
Speaker 3: right color. And the only way that you know is
Speaker 3: to spread those samples out large swatches on the wall
Speaker 3: because the more of the paint there is, the color
Speaker 3: changes as well. So big big sample swatches on the wall,
Speaker 3: on the wall in question, so you can make the
Speaker 3: best decision.
Speaker 5: Excellent. Thank you. And just as an aside, you sounded
Speaker 5: as if you had been on the show forever on
Speaker 5: your very first day, So just to say you are awesome.
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you, Lindy. Thank you so much. Kind Pete.
Speaker 3: Why are people so nice? All right, Lindy, Lindy should
Speaker 3: come to the Holiday show. Lindy, you should sign up
Speaker 3: to come to the Holiday show. You just should. Okay,
Speaker 3: So go to our website, Instagram, Facebook, Home with Dean,
Speaker 3: find the holiday post and say hey, it's me Lindy.
Speaker 3: You should all right, y'all?
Speaker 5: Am?
Speaker 3: I running late, yeah, because because you know, a caller
Speaker 3: was complimenting me, so I had to take the time
Speaker 3: to feel good.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty, can.
Speaker 3: If I AM six forty live streaming in HD everywhere
Speaker 3: on the iHeartRadio app. You are Home with Dean Sharp
Speaker 3: the house whisper thanks for joining us on the program.
Speaker 3: We are taking some calls right now. I went long
Speaker 3: in the last segment, so this one's gonna be a
Speaker 3: little shorter, but we got time for one here. Let's
Speaker 3: dive in and talk to Vince. Hey, Vince, welcome home.
Speaker 6: Hey good yeah, yeah, y'all do it.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 6: I got three six inch tam lights in my kitchen.
Speaker 6: The one over the kitchen sak where it's just fine.
Speaker 6: A couple of weeks ago, the furthest one just burned out,
Speaker 6: and then the one in the middle kind of comes
Speaker 6: on a little bit. Is that full power, and then
Speaker 6: shuts off after a couple hours. And then I turn
Speaker 6: off all the lights for five or six hours, come home,
Speaker 6: turn them back on. The middle one works fine the
Speaker 6: kitchen lay orgs, but the other one wouldn't work. So
Speaker 6: I finally got enough money to go buy some six
Speaker 6: inch replacements. I go and I put it in and
Speaker 6: it's got that you know, a little orange clip slide in,
Speaker 6: the orange clip turned back on. The power was on
Speaker 6: for five seconds before it went pop and skin of
Speaker 6: the electrical smell brought it back because I thought it
Speaker 6: was a defective unit. Got another one, came home, same thing.
Speaker 3: What the heck? What the heck's going on there?
Speaker 6: All right, I got pretty screwed over by this house.
Speaker 3: But the wiring to these cans, this is you know,
Speaker 3: you know that you've got the right voltage. We're not
Speaker 3: running to twenty to these things, right.
Speaker 6: It's eats exactly exactly. Yeah, everything's good. Everybody's coming out
Speaker 6: one because the other one's working. They're all in the
Speaker 6: same circuit. The thing is is all the wall outlets
Speaker 6: and all the lights are on the same fues. It's
Speaker 6: a sixty m box and then there's like four or
Speaker 6: five things like the fridge, the stove, and they have
Speaker 6: a separate circuit. And that's about it.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, well that shouldn't be. I mean, if we're
Speaker 3: overloading the breaker, then the breaker will pop. So I'm
Speaker 3: not really concerned that they're on the same circuit. I'm
Speaker 3: concerned that something's going on with the recessed can housing itself.
Speaker 3: There are various housings out there, and sometimes when people
Speaker 3: are buying them, like at a big box store or whatever,
Speaker 3: sometimes you don't notice me. Maybe you got a low
Speaker 3: voltage a transformer version or something, and then high voltage
Speaker 3: is blowing it out. So do you know the brand
Speaker 3: of the housing, and are you using that brand appropriate
Speaker 3: trim in other words, the little led you know, the
Speaker 3: plug in because sometimes you can't cross brands with those
Speaker 3: either because of the nature of voltage that's going into them.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, I bought the house in twenty one and
Speaker 6: never had any issues with them. I mean when I
Speaker 6: pulled them out, it's all Slovenia. But the Sylvania replacements
Speaker 6: are like one hundred and eighty bucks per late, so
Speaker 6: I went with the twenty five dollars option, and yeah,
Speaker 6: maybe that is the issue.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it doesn't. That's not to say that that
Speaker 3: you act absolutely have to get the Sylvania, but you
Speaker 3: got to check the specs on the Sylvania to make
Speaker 3: sure whatever those specs are, to make sure that whatever
Speaker 3: you're plugging in there is up with the same specifications. Otherwise,
Speaker 3: if you're putting essentially what is a low voltage fixture
Speaker 3: into a high voltage output, then yeah, you're gonna blow them.
Speaker 3: They're just gonna blow. And it sounds like that's what happened.
Speaker 6: Actually, well that sounds bigger than the one I was
Speaker 6: freaking about because I thought I had a mice issue somewhere.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, if you if you had a short,
Speaker 3: then the breaker would be popping and everything would just
Speaker 3: be going off. You're plugging in a trim into the
Speaker 3: existing housing and the trim is blowing, and that's because
Speaker 3: something is wrong with the matchup, the mating of the housing,
Speaker 3: what the housing wants and what it's giving to the trim.
Speaker 3: They're not aligning with each other, and as a result,
Speaker 3: it's blowing out there, Vince. So check the specs. If
Speaker 3: you open up and look on the inside of the
Speaker 3: housing itself without the trim in there, you should find
Speaker 3: a model number or some of the specifications. Take your phone,
Speaker 3: take picture of it, write it all down and make
Speaker 3: sure and then you could you could even go to
Speaker 3: the Sylvania website and find it, but write it all
Speaker 3: down and then take that information with you when you
Speaker 3: go to shop for the trims, whatever that case may be.
Speaker 3: Make sure that they're mating up properly. Just because the
Speaker 3: plugs were the plug adapter is a universal adapter. It's
Speaker 3: not a guarantee that every trim works with every kind
Speaker 3: of can in a voltage capacity. All right, Vince, thanks
Speaker 3: for the call, buddy, I appreciate it. When we return.
Speaker 3: More of it was this way when we bought it.
Speaker 3: Troubles with your house that you inherited from the previous owner,
Speaker 3: We're gonna fix them. Your home with Dean Sharp, The
Speaker 3: House Whisper, Damn I Dean Sharp, The House Whisper, Welcome Home.

Speaker 3: wants it more. So just check it all out at
Speaker 3: Home with Dean on Facebook and Instagram. We would love
Speaker 3: to have you at the show. All right, just a
Speaker 3: couple of more minutes here, I'm going to talk about
Speaker 3: one thing that I was going to discuss concrete. I'm
Speaker 3: going to leave concrete hardscape for tomorrow. But here is
Speaker 3: a simple thing that everybody needs to know about. One
Speaker 3: of the ways that you are not stuck with the
Speaker 3: weirdness of let's say the front yard or the rear
Speaker 3: yard landscaping is to realize that you don't have to
Speaker 3: obey the old brick planter beds. You don't, Okay. One
Speaker 3: of the hardest things as a homeowner is to realize
Speaker 3: and really understand what is permanent and really tough to
Speaker 3: change about your home and what just looks permanent. Just
Speaker 3: because something has been sitting there for sixty years does
Speaker 3: not mean it's hard to change. It just means that
Speaker 3: everybody has accepted it for all of this time. And
Speaker 3: little brick planter beds are one of those things that
Speaker 3: we see all the time. Now, do I have anything
Speaker 3: against a little brick planter bed.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 3: Sometimes they're lovely and they're quaint, and they work just
Speaker 3: perfectly with the vibe that you want to produce in
Speaker 3: your front or backyard. However, more often than not, especially
Speaker 3: an older little brick planter bed, the brick is starting
Speaker 3: to break. Maybe a tree root is underneath it, maybe
Speaker 3: it has uplifted it, maybe it's falling apart, or maybe
Speaker 3: just maybe it's in a weird location that made sense
Speaker 3: to a time and an era fifty sixty seventy years
Speaker 3: ago when the house was built. But isn't the vibe
Speaker 3: that you want for your house. But you've been dealing
Speaker 3: with it ever since as if somehow that's the only
Speaker 3: place that you can plant things. And outside of it
Speaker 3: it has to be lawn because there's the brick planter bed.
Speaker 3: How are you gonna deal with it? Here's how you
Speaker 3: deal with it. You take it out. Little brick planter
Speaker 3: beds are just a little stack of bricks sitting on
Speaker 3: a relatively small and easy to negotiate. A bit of
Speaker 3: concrete that is down underneath the earth, and I'll just
Speaker 3: put it to you this way, a breaker bar and
Speaker 3: you know, sometimes a little jackhammer or a sledgehammer in
Speaker 3: most cases, right, in most cases, those things can be
Speaker 3: out of there in a couple of three hours before
Speaker 3: the end of the day if you really got serious
Speaker 3: about it, honestly, honestly speaking, and if there's some really
Speaker 3: really tough concrete down below the surface, leave it.
Speaker 6: Leave it.
Speaker 3: It's down below the surface. Who cares there's a roll
Speaker 3: of concrete down there. Just knock the bricks off. Free
Speaker 3: yourself of other people's lines that they have drawn onto
Speaker 3: your yard front and back as well. Just free yourself,
Speaker 3: free yourself from the rules. You do not have to
Speaker 3: obey what the previous owners have done in drawing the
Speaker 3: lines across your yard. And uh And I find that
Speaker 3: to be some of the most freeing advice for people,
Speaker 3: because they're like, oh, because I really really wanted to
Speaker 3: do this or that, or I really hate that brick planter,
Speaker 3: But doesn't it have to stay, because isn't it doing No,
Speaker 3: it's not doing anything. It's just defining a space. So
Speaker 3: take it away, take it away, clear the slate, clear
Speaker 3: the boards, and reim age in your yard the way
Speaker 3: you want it to be. And there you go. You
Speaker 3: do not have to weep or apologize that your yard
Speaker 3: was this way when we bought it. All right, I've
Speaker 3: got so much more. You know what, I think we'll start.
Speaker 3: You can hold me to this. I think we're going
Speaker 3: to start tomorrow's show, part three of this with another
Speaker 3: subject that is kind of falls into the same category
Speaker 3: designed by demolition, which is the best kind of thing
Speaker 3: you can do. I want to deal with too much concrete,
Speaker 3: hard space, heartscape around your home. We'll do that when
Speaker 3: we rejoin you tomorrow nine to noon, last day to
Speaker 3: enter the Holiday home show. And until then, you know what,
Speaker 3: there's a gorgeous day outside. Go out, enjoy this cool
Speaker 3: weather and get busy building yourself a beautiful life. We'll
