Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the host of Home
Speaker 1: on KFI, the house whisper of Dean Sharp. So Dean
Speaker 1: the International Builders Show in Las Vegas. I was saying
Speaker 1: earlier that it is to home builders kind of like
Speaker 1: what CEES is to tech people.
Speaker 2: It is absolutely the world's largest home building and design
Speaker 2: show on the planet and happens every year in Vegas
Speaker 2: a few times on the East Coast, but this year
Speaker 2: it just wrapped up yesterday and a huge, huge show.
Speaker 2: This year. It now has grown to fill the entire
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Convention Center, a million square feet of exhibit space,
Speaker 2: two thousand exhibitors, over one hundred thousand, well over one
Speaker 2: hundred thousand people in attendance, big big show.
Speaker 1: Okay, So answer me this, because I love going to
Speaker 1: like home and garden shows, like home improvement shows, that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Is this International Builders Show for things
Speaker 1: that are available now? Or is it kind of like
Speaker 1: THEES where it's you know, saying this is this is coming.
Speaker 2: It's a mixture of both. It's mostly about things that
Speaker 2: are available now, but there are also exhibitors there who
Speaker 2: are showing things that are coming out later this year,
Speaker 2: next year. Usually it's not too far reaching into the future,
Speaker 2: because you know, it's a builders show, very practical. It
Speaker 2: has everything to do with what's available and what's happening now.
Speaker 2: But a lot of cutting edge stuff out there.
Speaker 1: Okay, So let's just go over a couple of them,
Speaker 1: and then you're going to be talking about this this
Speaker 1: weekend on your show.
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, both day, Saturday and Sunday. We've got so
Speaker 2: many things to talk about. I tell you right off
Speaker 2: the top on the notes that I sent you that
Speaker 2: I was so impressed with Clopay. Clo Pay is a very,
Speaker 2: very big garage door company, and there have been some
Speaker 2: innovations in garage doors over the last few years. Clopey
Speaker 2: has introduced what they call their vertice stack garage door.
Speaker 2: It's a sectional garage door that everybody's used to, except
Speaker 2: this garage door. These sections. As it opens, they separate
Speaker 2: from each other and stack up like a deck of
Speaker 2: cards right above the garage door header on the inside
Speaker 2: of the garage door, which means there are no bent
Speaker 2: rails traveling across the ceiling of the garage. The door
Speaker 2: does not end up covering the ceiling of the garage,
Speaker 2: which means that the ceiling of the garage is free
Speaker 2: and clear for storage, racking, for whatever else is going on.
Speaker 2: This is a garage door that stays on the front
Speaker 2: wall of the garage.
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you're looking for this is my visual
Speaker 1: for you. If you're trying to figure out what that
Speaker 1: exactly looks like, it's like vertical blinds.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is. If you draw the blinds up, they
Speaker 2: just stay right there in the balance up above the window,
Speaker 2: as opposed to traveling, which is what most sectional garage
Speaker 2: doors do now on rails across the ceiling. So yes,
Speaker 2: that's a great, great analysis, super cool. Okay, give me
Speaker 2: one more, one more Mason Night is you know what
Speaker 2: I'm gonna move this one? Door Saver three doors three Okay.
Speaker 2: Door Saver is a company that has been making door stops,
Speaker 2: and you know, not everything that is new and amazing
Speaker 2: at the builder show costs, you know, thousands of dollars.
Speaker 2: This is a product that retails for about eight dollars.
Speaker 2: But Doorstaver has designed a hinge pin for door hinges
Speaker 2: that has built into it a fully adjustable door stop
Speaker 2: in the hinge pin, so you no longer do you
Speaker 2: have to have doors slamming against the wall. Doorknobs slamming
Speaker 2: into drywall, or have that you know, long springy thing
Speaker 2: down at the base sticking out of the baseboard that
Speaker 2: gets kicked or it gets caught on with with feet
Speaker 2: or vacuums. No longer do you have to have any
Speaker 2: kind of those bumpers. The door stop itself, fully adjustable
Speaker 2: to whatever angle you want the door to open, is
Speaker 2: just in the hinge pin.
Speaker 1: That's very cool. So you've got they got big, big developments.
Speaker 2: And little developments, everything from the big to the smallest.
Speaker 1: Okay, and you're gonna be talking about this on Home.
Speaker 1: You can listen to Home with Dean Sharp right here
Speaker 1: on KFI six to eight am tomorrow morning Saturday and
Speaker 1: nine to noon on Sunday. And it's all about the
Speaker 1: International Builders Show. That's it, all right, thank you, Dean Sharp.
