All right, we are spending today as we 19 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.359 spent yesterday, this weekend, this last weekend in twenty twenty four, 20 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.920 talking about trends and predictions for homes, home decor and 21 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.319 all that kind of stuff for twenty twenty five. I 22 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:24.599 have a very unique take on it because I am 23 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:30.159 a real home designer and therefore I don't participate in 24 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.439 all of the bs that it ends up on social 25 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.239 media and interest ye kinds of things. I love all 26 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.120 that stuff. By the way, as far as you know 27 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.319 the site, you know, the ability for people to see 28 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.159 things that they haven't seen before. I'm not criticizing that, 29 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.959 but this time of year, Uh, everybody and their brother 30 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.480 has a list of trends, and most of them don't 31 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:57.799 come from professional designers or architects, and as a result, 32 00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.079 what we get is a lot of information. So I'm 33 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:03.840 trying to cut through that for you so you understand 34 00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:08.199 what is legit and what is not. What's legit and 35 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.400 what should you quit? Oh my gosh, did he actually 36 00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.039 do that? Yes? He did. All right, we're going to 37 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:14.960 get back to that subject in just a bit. But 38 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.039 top of the hour. You know what that means, it's 39 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.039 time to go to the phones. I'm going to talk 40 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.560 to Brad. Hey, Brad, welcome home. 41 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.319 Yes, Hi, thank you for taking my call. I have 42 00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:31.400 a back door of my house that sticks and it. 43 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.120 I will stand the doorframe, and it will seem to 44 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.879 last for about two or three months, and then all 45 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.800 of a sudden it begins to stick again, and it 46 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.680 makes it very difficult for my wife to open the door. 47 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.400 Okay, you said you stand the doorframe, in other words, 48 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:51.560 the jam in the wall. 49 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:53.280 That's correct. 50 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.439 Okay, Well, a couple of things. Number One, when we 51 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.000 say that it sticks, do we know is it the 52 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.560 entire side of the door that is sticking or is 53 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.000 it sticking near the top? 54 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:07.680 Is sticking near the top? 55 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.639 Yeah, okay, I got you. Why how did he know that? 56 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:12.800 Uh? 57 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:18.000 Here is the thing, my friend. Number one, stop standing 58 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:22.400 the jam. Okay, let the jam just be what it is. 59 00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:26.240 If if we are and sometimes it's worth doing this. 60 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.719 If we're going to make a modification to a door 61 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:33.759 that is sticking, we actually alter the door. We cut 62 00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:38.960 and or plane and or sand the door, not the frame. Okay, 63 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.360 we stand the door, which means, you know, maybe taking 64 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.599 off weather stripping temporarily and getting to the door itself. 65 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.759 There does need to be an adequate clearance. So the 66 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.319 idea of just standing just enough to make it clear 67 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.080 right now and then cold weather hot weather kicks in 68 00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:58.639 or a little bit of moisture or a little bit 69 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:00.879 of dry and it changes the dem intionality of the 70 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.919 door and it gets stuck again. So just as a 71 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.680 general rule, As a general rule, you want to be 72 00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.520 addressing the door. Now I say all this, and you're 73 00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:16.240 going to tell me it's a steel door, exactly, Okay, 74 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.120 all right, So it's a steel door. So there's no 75 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.720 standing the door. So in this situation, how long did 76 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.920 it function well before it started sticking on you? 77 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.199 I would say it's I haven't had a problem probably 78 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.240 for ten years, and then all of a sudden. 79 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.959 All all of a sudden. Okay, yeah, all right, So 80 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.920 here's the other thing, and here's where I'm going to 81 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.399 earn my keep. Okay, this is what I want you 82 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.199 to do. I don't put down the sander, don't go 83 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.600 any further with any of that. Right now, what I 84 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.240 want you to do is I want you to open 85 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.839 up the door, and I want you to take your 86 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.920 Phillip's head screwdriver, and I want you to remove one 87 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.600 of the screws from one of the hinges in the 88 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.879 jam side of the door. Okay, I want you to 89 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.480 take that screw down to the hardware store, the big 90 00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:11.920 box store, wherever. And the reason you're taking it with 91 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.839 you is because you're looking at the width of that screw. 92 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:19.360 And you're also most importantly looking at this size of 93 00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.759 the head of the screw and the fact that it's 94 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.920 a beveled back, beveled head. And I want you to 95 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:29.639 find the longest screw that you can find. Would screw 96 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.560 that you can find that has that same size head. 97 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.600 In other words, we're going to replace some screws on 98 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:43.199 your hinges that whose heads will fit nicely, seat nicely 99 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.560 into the hinge. Okay, But when I say long, I'm 100 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.560 not talking about the you know, the screw that you're 101 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.959 going to pull out is going to be three quarters 102 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.759 to an inch long, that's screwed into the jam the 103 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.920 doorframe as it were. Right, the screw that you're going 104 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.279 to replace it with, I want that screw to be 105 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:07.439 three inches long, Okay. And here's what happens. Okay, we 106 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:12.079 don't really notice it, Okay, it's not super noticeable, but 107 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.040 the weight of a whole door on a three hinge door, 108 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.360 half of the weight of the door is hanging off 109 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:23.720 that top hinge. Okay, And even though the hinge itself 110 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.079 is solid and doing its job. The fact is that 111 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.600 hinge was installed in that door jam with a short screw. 112 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:34.600 Now that if the plate of the butt of the 113 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.759 hinge is even at all starting to loosen up and door, 114 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.519 if the frame that it's in, if the jam has 115 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.360 shifted at all, this is what causes a door to 116 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.519 start sticking. And the reason I knew it was sticking 117 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.839 at the top corner is that it's because not because 118 00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.199 the door is swelling, because if the door was swelling, 119 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.680 or if the jam was swelling, it would swell uniformly 120 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.519 down the length of the side and you would be 121 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.639 stuck top to bottom. But because it's rubbing at the top, 122 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.279 it means that when the door is shut, it's actually tilted. 123 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.839 It's leaning. And the only reason it's leaning is even 124 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.839 if it's not perceptible to you those that top hinge 125 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.839 has shifted in the jam itself. So here's what we're 126 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.319 gonna do with these three inch long screws that you're 127 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.680 gonna buy at the hardware store. You're gonna come back 128 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.120 and you're gonna take all of the screws out of 129 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.879 the top hinge, not the door side, but the jam 130 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.959 side and we're gonna get your screw gun and we're 131 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.360 gonna go all the way and we're going through the 132 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:42.319 jam itself. We're going it's not we're not gonna any 133 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.879 longer support this door off the jam. We're gonna drill 134 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.920 right through it, and we're gonna go right into the 135 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.199 two by four trimmer, the wood stud that's on the 136 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.199 back side of this thing. And when you do, you're 137 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.839 gonna snug it up, and you're gonna actually see the 138 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:03.319 hinge snug and you might even see the jam leg 139 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:06.000 shift and move a little bit. But you're going to 140 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:10.079 put three or four, however many screws your hinge takes 141 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.800 of these long guys right on through, and then you're 142 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.199 gonna close the door and you're going to be amazed 143 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:19.360 because suddenly the door is not going to be rubbing 144 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:24.120 at the top anymore. Okay, I will do that, all right, 145 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.839 my friend. That's the trick. It's something that not a 146 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.440 lot of people notice at first, but it's not rocket 147 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:34.960 science to fix, and it's going to save you a 148 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.240 lot of labor trying to the problem is when you 149 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.320 said that you've sanded it and then it was free, 150 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.240 and then it got loose again, it's just because the 151 00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.360 door just tips, is still tipping, and it's still falling 152 00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.679 into the jam. So the problem is on the hinge side, 153 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.799 not on the you know, not on the latch side 154 00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:57.960 of the door, and it's at the top because it's leaning. 155 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.519 So I hope that makes sense to every feel free. 156 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.440 If you've got a door that has been problematic or 157 00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:08.240 even a little wobbly, go ahead and use the long 158 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.159 screw trip. And I will tell you this. When I 159 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.519 hang a door, okay as a door, hanging as a 160 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:18.559 finished carpenter for years and years now has been the case. 161 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:23.240 Number one. I will set the jam itself at the 162 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:27.480 very top with a hidden long three inch screw that's 163 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:31.840 down in the actual routered area of the hinge where 164 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.559 the hinge going to cover that screw. And then we 165 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.759 will go ahead and use longer screws to dig into 166 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.120 the stud that's on the other side of the jam. 167 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:45.759 And guess what happens. These doors They never rub, they 168 00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:49.960 never sag for the life of the door. That's all 169 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.279 it takes. Got to tie into the framing better and 170 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:55.519 it's not going to failure. 171 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:59.919 I promise you're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on 172 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.120 demand from KFI AM six forty. 173 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.879 We're talking trends and predictions for twenty twenty five today. 174 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.759 But right now I am taking calls. I want to 175 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:15.200 go back to the phones. Let's talk to Sandy. Sandy, 176 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:16.279 welcome home. 177 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:23.279 Yes, Hi, Hi Diane, thanks for taking my call. 178 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:25.799 You're very welcome. How can I help you? 179 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:34.480 Yes, I have a shed top got it from top shed. 180 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:38.279 It's six by twelve sheet. It's on the side of 181 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.639 the house. But we would like to insulate the roof 182 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:48.200 the ceiling. I just want to get an input from 183 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.000 you and you know what kind of insulation should be 184 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:52.559 be seen. 185 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.320 What are you planning on doing with the shed? Why 186 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.159 are we insulating the shed? 187 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:02.519 It's just in the summer, it just gets a lot 188 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:07.200 of sun in that part of the property. And I'm 189 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:14.120 putting all my most of my gardening tools there, and 190 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:19.600 you know, for delster, all that stuff, and also some 191 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.799 probably cushions for a part of set, and any extra 192 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:29.840 stuff that we need to put away, like the coolers, 193 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:30.799 all that stuff. 194 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.759 Right, Okay, I got you. And you just don't want 195 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:35.879 it excess, you know, you don't want things melting down 196 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:40.159 in there. I get it. A tough shed, a tough shed, 197 00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.440 a typical framed gardens. I'm very familiar with tough sheds. 198 00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:48.200 We have several on our property. Tough sheds use kind 199 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.320 of a two by four truss kind of roofing system, 200 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:56.799 which makes it very strong, small roof, but very lightweight 201 00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.399 at the same time, And and so you only got 202 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.720 a limited depth as far as the kind of insulation 203 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.440 that you would put up in there, I would absolutely 204 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.159 recommend that you go because it's not a big area, 205 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.240 and so this is not going to break the bank 206 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:16.639 that you would go with rigid foam insulation. Rigid you know, 207 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:21.480 rigid foam panels that and for two reasons. One, when 208 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:25.519 you're whenever you're using rigid foam, you're getting better insulating 209 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:31.440 value for a thinner area. And secondly, the rigid foam 210 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:36.200 insulation will be foil backed, and that foil is going 211 00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:39.600 to help a heck of a lot that shiny foil 212 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:44.600 backing because it's going to effectively reflect back and kind 213 00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:47.840 of shut down a lot of infrared transmission that's coming 214 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:50.759 in that wants to come into the shed. So a 215 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:55.200 tough shed roof I would absolutely, without question use rigid 216 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:59.919 foam with foil backing, and if you're not worried about, 217 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.240 you know, the aesthetic inside it, you could just leave 218 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:04.679 it at that. You can just put it up there, 219 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:08.480 cut it nice and let it be and it will 220 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:09.120 serve you well. 221 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.440 And do we do I have to put drywall? 222 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.919 You don't have to put drywall. Not with the rigid foam. 223 00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.519 You'll be able to attach it into place, even with 224 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.840 some toennailed screws or even nails that will hold it 225 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:29.360 into place for you and you'll be good to go. 226 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:34.080 Oh okay, Because I've been looking at the insulation available 227 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:38.480 at the big box stores. They're R ratings, ours thirteen, 228 00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:42.120 R thirty. It's just so many choices. And those are 229 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:45.519 not the rigid pham panels that you're talking about right 230 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:46.399 right now. 231 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.639 You can find the rigid foam panels at the big 232 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.240 box store further down the aisle. Just be looking for them. 233 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.679 But yeah, they don't come into big packages. They're not 234 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.720 the lofty fiberglass, squishy stuff or the blown in stuff. 235 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.840 These are just ridgid foam panels. And you're not going 236 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.960 to get our thirty in there. But you don't need 237 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:05.919 our thirty. You don't need our thirty because it's not 238 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.200 a living space. You just need to be able to 239 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:10.879 knock down a good amount of that heat, and the 240 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.120 rigid foam is going to do it best for you, 241 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.879 I promise. Sandy. Thank you for your question, thanks for 242 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:17.840 the call, Thanks for hanging on as long as you 243 00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:21.039 did today. I hope that helps, and good luck on 244 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:28.600 that shed. Let's talk to Leslie. Leslie, welcome home, Hide. 245 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:29.240 How are you? 246 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:31.960 I am well? How can I help you? 247 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:36.559 I'm renovating my dad's house. I inherit it in San 248 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:40.480 Marino and one hundred years old, and I've been painting 249 00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:44.320 and chasing and doing this well. The realtor lady was 250 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:48.519 telling me I should refinish the tubs, but I personally 251 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.799 don't think I should because now I'm going to maybe 252 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:55.759 open a can of worms with potential plumbing issues, but 253 00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:58.759 I would They're not in bad shape. Do you recommend 254 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.480 any good kind of cleaner or something to make it 255 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:02.320 kind of sparkle? 256 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:08.600 Okay, so the tub cast iron tub under year old house. 257 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.159 Is the porcelain chipped or is it just dull? What's what? 258 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:14.039 What are you dealing with? 259 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:17.039 I don't think there's really much going on with it. 260 00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:19.759 I think the only thing is like one hundred years ago. 261 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:23.080 In hell, not too long ago, probably about maybe fifteen 262 00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:25.159 twenty years ago. My dad put a little touch up 263 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:29.440 around the faucet itself, like a little white kind of thing, 264 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:32.159 you know, just to I guess maybe some of that 265 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:35.399 metal was coming through. But other than that, it's an 266 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.519 excellent condition. So I hate to get it refinished because 267 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.360 I've seen where they peel and they do all crazy things. 268 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:49.080 Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's tough. Well, let's see so 269 00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:53.000 and and you're not looking to you're not looking to 270 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:55.200 pull those tubs out because you just don't want to 271 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:56.559 mess with it. You don't want to mess with the 272 00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:57.480 tile around it. 273 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:01.399 Yeah, because I have the original pile from back then 274 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:04.600 and they're beautiful and they're in excellent shape. So I 275 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.039 hope that somebody will enjoy it as much as we have. 276 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.240 But it's one of those things where I just want 277 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.120 to kind of clean it up a bit and just 278 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:15.159 kind of give it a little more oomph. And the 279 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.000 same thing with the flooring. I have those little piles 280 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:20.919 and I was wondering about that as well. And one 281 00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:23.879 other question about in the shower, you know, they had 282 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.559 the wall up on the top. So I was wondering 283 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:28.840 if you had a suggestion of what kind of pain 284 00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:30.039 I should use up there. 285 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.159 Okay, So it's like a closeted shower, like a like 286 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:38.240 a correct Yeah, I know these very well. Those literally 287 00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:40.720 back in the day where we were first doing showers, 288 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:42.360 and we're like, well, just put them in a closet. 289 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.960 Just put them in a closet. It's dark, you're surrounding, Okay, 290 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:53.639 So all right, the tub, there's there's not a ton Unfortunately, 291 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:57.759 there's no magic bullet for the tub or the tile, honestly, 292 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:02.039 but there are if you'd do your research, if you 293 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:05.400 go to your local tile shop, you can find some 294 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:07.440 high coil and not the big box store, but your 295 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:15.000 local tile shop. You can find some decent, decent okay, 296 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:20.000 not bomb proof, but decent glazes that like a seiler 297 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:24.119 that has a pretty good glaze on it that brings 298 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:26.319 a little bit more shine out. You could use that 299 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.000 for the tub and for the tile. It's not going 300 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.799 to last forever, okay, but it can bring a little 301 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.559 more gloss and a little more out of the tile 302 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.079 and the tub, especially if it's not something that's just 303 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:43.599 getting used constantly, day in and day out. I agree 304 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:45.480 with you. If the tub is in decent shape, even 305 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.519 if it's a little dull, just go with it. Just 306 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:50.240 just go with it, go with the fact that you 307 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.599 give it a good cleaning. You can clean it with 308 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:56.319 just any number of materials. I would just stay away 309 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.200 from the abrasives, okay at this point, and we'll be 310 00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:01.400 a tub like that. Stay away from the even the 311 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:06.680 barkeeper's front, you know. Just I wouldn't use the abrasive cleansers. 312 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:10.119 You could use bleach, you could use white vinegar or 313 00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.839 anything like that that that will do a good job 314 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:16.119 of getting in and getting a really good clean out 315 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:18.640 of it, and some light brushing, But stay away from 316 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:21.359 the abrasives, especially if you're not wanting it to look 317 00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:25.960 any duller than it is. It'll be brighter, but it'll 318 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:32.000 leave it duller. So right, yeah, there you go. There 319 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.039 you go. That that kind of stuff would be the 320 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:36.359 way that I would direct you for those things. But 321 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:38.599 you could get it. You can get a seiler that 322 00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:42.119 once it's really really clean. This is true of the tub, 323 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.519 porcelain and the tile, that you can put a seiler 324 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.200 on it and get some you know, short term I 325 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:50.680 mean it'll it'll it'll be shining for as long as 326 00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:54.160 nobody starts using it and then but if somebody's showering 327 00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.519 in the day in and day out, then you know, 328 00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:58.480 six months down the road, it's going to be back 329 00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:00.319 to it's Matt finishkin, which is at the end of 330 00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:02.640 the world because it's not expensive stuff and you could 331 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:05.599 just reglaze it again if you wanted to. That's about 332 00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:09.359 as much as I don't paint it. Please don't paint it, 333 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:11.119 because that's I'm not. 334 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.440 Going that'll be the upper part of that shower stall, 335 00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:19.119 the box shower. Is there recommendations for some kind of 336 00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:21.960 paint or it doesn't bubble or something else when you 337 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:22.680 have the moisture. 338 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:24.880 Yeah, so this is true, and I would do this 339 00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:28.519 with the whole bathroom by the way, personally. Uh. And 340 00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:30.680 that is that first of all, you're going to get 341 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.480 all that chipping and peeling stuff off, You're going to 342 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:36.640 get it sanded down and prepped really really well.

When we return I'm gonna 370 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:14.119 give you more off of my list of predictions and 371 00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:16.000 trends for twenty twenty five. 372 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:20.319 You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 373 00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:21.880 KFI AM six forty. 374 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:27.720 You are Home with Dean Sharp, the house Whisper. That's me. 375 00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:33.720 We're here talking about predictions of trends for home decor 376 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.599 and design for twenty twenty five. Nearing the end of 377 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:39.599 my list, but I still got some good stuff to 378 00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:40.279 talk to you about. 379 00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:40.440 Here. 380 00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:44.240 Let's get back into it, shall we. Uh Here, I say, 381 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.359 I teased you before we were taking calls that the 382 00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:49.119 next thing I was going to talk to you about 383 00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:54.920 was flooring. Flooring, there's one very specific trend that is 384 00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:58.640 growing in temperature. It's hot, It's I don't know if 385 00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:02.880 it's hot, but it's deafly getting hotter. And I'm again 386 00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:06.799 glad about it. Seems like there's a theme that several 387 00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:10.759 of the items that are on this year's trending list, 388 00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:14.359 the legitimate items, they're harkening back to an older time 389 00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:17.839 and we're seeing them manifest again. And this one is 390 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.519 no exception to that. This is a wonderful example of that. 391 00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:29.480 And that is whether it's tile or wood flooring. Herringbone, herringbone. 392 00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:33.519 You know what herringbone is, right, It's that zigzag pattern. Now, 393 00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:39.559 herringbone is about as classic a flooring pattern as a 394 00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:43.720 flooring pattern can get. What's amazing about it is that 395 00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:48.079 it's so classic that you can put any period of 396 00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:51.519 furniture with it, and it works. If you tour through 397 00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:56.000 Europe and look at one hundred two hundred, three hundred 398 00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:01.640 plus year old homes and villas, you will find herringbone floors. 399 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:07.359 If you travel and find ultra contemporary homes, you will 400 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:12.160 find herringbone floors. Because it's such a heavy geometric pattern, 401 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:17.839
