23
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, we're taking calls. I'm talking to Joan. Let

24
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:35.359
<v Speaker 2>me make sure I didn't hang up on her. Joan,

25
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 2>are you still with me?

26
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 3>Yes? Yeah, sure, thank you.

27
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So Joan has a plumbing link. She has a leak.

28
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>It is suspected in her main line somewhere between the

29
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 2>house and the water meter, right, Joan, correct, yes.

30
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 3>And also the driveway slopes down.

31
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 2>The driveway slopes down, and the line is under the

32
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>drive way, right, correct. Yeah. And here is the sticky wicket, now, okay,

33
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.159
<v Speaker 2>because it's not just about I shouldn't say it's a

34
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 2>sticky wicket. I should say that this makes this makes

35
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 2>the the in my opinion, the strategy very very clear, Joe,

36
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 2>very very clear. Because here's the thing. First of all,

37
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 2>we don't need expensive leak detection in your case. Okay,

38
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 2>if we were trying to spot repair this pipe, this mainline,

39
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.759
<v Speaker 2>then and if it was traveling through let's say the yard,

40
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.120
<v Speaker 2>where we could dig down and actually get to it, okay,

41
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>without destroying something like a driveway in order to do it,

42
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.120
<v Speaker 2>then it might it might behoove us to get a

43
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:51.000
<v Speaker 2>leak detection service out there and try and pinpoint it. Also,

44
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>if there's no concrete on top of it, the leaked

45
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 2>detection fee would be much less than what was quoted

46
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 2>to you, because we're not wrestling with the concrete and

47
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 2>the d bar in the concrete and all of the

48
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 2>other things. We're just trying to find a leak with

49
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 2>a pipe that's buried in the yard. But we're not

50
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 2>going to be able to get to that leak per

51
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:14.479
<v Speaker 2>se underneath the concrete. And it doesn't sound like it's

52
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:20.479
<v Speaker 2>a catastrophic leak. It's just a leak, and I think

53
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 2>if they suspected that it's more of a pinhole leak,

54
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm assuming it's a copper line that's running.

55
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Between That's what I've told Yes.

56
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's what tends to happen. It's why we

57
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:38.759
<v Speaker 2>don't like burying copper anymore in ground, because copper is

58
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 2>not a lifetime pipe when it's buried in the ground

59
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>in contact with soil and various minerals, because we realize

60
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 2>that it can corrode away in certain conditions, and so

61
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 2>we would much prefer to do a PVC pipe main

62
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:59.479
<v Speaker 2>to the house a pottible PVC line. So anyway, the

63
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 2>point is, we don't want to tear up your driveway.

64
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.080
<v Speaker 2>We don't need to know exactly where the pinpoint leak is.

65
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.080
<v Speaker 2>All we need to know for sure is that there

66
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 2>is a leak, and that can happen super simple, and

67
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe they already did this. But the fact of the

68
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 2>matter is, if it's a leak between your meter and

69
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 2>the house, all you have to do is turn off

70
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 2>the main line the valve going into the house. Okay,

71
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 2>now the water can't flow into the house. Now, the

72
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 2>water in between the water meter and the house is

73
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.279
<v Speaker 2>trapped right there. Right if at that point with the

74
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 2>house water turned off, if the tiny leak detection arrow

75
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 2>or star. Sometimes they're blue, sometimes they're red, sometimes they're yellow,

76
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 2>but it's a tiny little device. Sometimes it's star shaped

77
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 2>or a triangle, if that is still moving on the

78
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.439
<v Speaker 2>water meter gage, that means water is moving. That means

79
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>there's a leak. And since we we've already turned off

80
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>the water to the house, we know that the leak

81
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.199
<v Speaker 2>is somewhere between the house and the water meter and

82
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 2>it's all underneath the driveway. Anyway, we don't need to

83
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>know anything else. Then my suggestion is that you call

84
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 2>out a plumber who specializes in epoxy linings for water lines.

85
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.680
<v Speaker 2>And what they can do is a qualified plumber who

86
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 2>does this a lot. Okay, they can blow out that

87
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:36.480
<v Speaker 2>line with an epoxy coating on the inside of that

88
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 2>copper line. These epoxy coatings, they're not good for catastrophic

89
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:47.279
<v Speaker 2>breaks or crushes or anything like that, but specifically for

90
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>a copper line that's starting to pit and pinhole leak.

91
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.480
<v Speaker 2>This epoxy will line the inside of the pipe. It's

92
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 2>essentially giving you a brand new pipe that cannot pit

93
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:03.160
<v Speaker 2>any longer from the inside out. And it's essentially a

94
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.439
<v Speaker 2>new water line. And it's going to be not cheap.

95
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>But if you save the money on the leak detection,

96
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 2>and when you consider the cost of manually digging up

97
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 2>your waterline underneath your concrete driveway, it's going to be

98
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 2>considerably less than that. And of course I want you

99
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 2>to call three or four qualified plumbers who do this

100
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:33.120
<v Speaker 2>and get quotes so that you know that you're not overpaying.

101
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:37.519
<v Speaker 3>For Do you have any suggestions on a particular company.

102
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 2>No, because they're all over the place. They're they're virtually

103
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 2>all over the place, everywhere. I just want you to

104
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.160
<v Speaker 2>do some careful searches in your area and look for

105
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.319
<v Speaker 2>companies that specialize in this, not just a plumbing company

106
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.040
<v Speaker 2>that's like, oh yeah, every once in a while we

107
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.759
<v Speaker 2>do this because it's a tricky process. It's got to

108
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.279
<v Speaker 2>be done well in order for it to really take

109
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>and to hold. But I've seen it done so many

110
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:07.959
<v Speaker 2>times effectively. So just start doing a little search for

111
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:12.279
<v Speaker 2>your area and call them out and start getting prices,

112
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.800
<v Speaker 2>and then you can compare those quotes and those prices.

113
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:16.720
<v Speaker 2>But that would be my suggestion. It seems to me

114
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.800
<v Speaker 2>that at this point we don't care about where the

115
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>leak is in between. If we know it's in between

116
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 2>the meter and the house, then we're going to just

117
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:29.560
<v Speaker 2>reline that main line the whole thing, and guess what

118
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.480
<v Speaker 2>the leak will be handled, because it's going to get

119
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:33.720
<v Speaker 2>caught somewhere in between the meter and the house.

120
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 3>Uh huh. So I want to look for a plumber

121
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.639
<v Speaker 3>with a specialty in epoxy lining for water lines.

122
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Yes, exactly that, Okay.

123
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 3>And on a separate note, what you know, if I

124
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:52.040
<v Speaker 3>decide to do the house sometime after that two bedroom

125
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.839
<v Speaker 3>three bath house. What would be your estimate on the cost?

126
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I couldn't do that. I couldn't, couldn't, right, Yeah,

127
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't give you an estimate on that because it's

128
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 2>not just about the number of bedrooms. It's about the configuration.

129
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 2>It's about where the pipes are running, it's about access. Again,

130
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.279
<v Speaker 2>I will say this for everybody who's listening. Whenever you're

131
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 2>getting a quote, the way you're going to find out

132
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.120
<v Speaker 2>is not to compare it to some random average out there.

133
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Of this is about what you should call. It's to

134
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:30.040
<v Speaker 2>bring in three or four well vetted contractors and let

135
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.639
<v Speaker 2>them bid the same thing, apples and apples, and then

136
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 2>you take a look at those prices. It's like a

137
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Venn diagram. You will see where the prices will clump together,

138
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.399
<v Speaker 2>and you'll know that's the range. Because that's what everybody

139
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.399
<v Speaker 2>is telling me. That's the best way to do it.

140
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:47.000
<v Speaker 2>That's why I always tell you, guys, three or four

141
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:51.600
<v Speaker 2>estimates for everything. Joan, thank you for your call. Really

142
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.399
<v Speaker 2>really good question. I hope that helps, and good luck

143
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:56.440
<v Speaker 2>with that. But I think that's what's going to get

144
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.919
<v Speaker 2>it done. All right, y'all, We're gonna hear some new

145
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.399
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll get back to the best of the

146
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.000
<v Speaker 2>International Builders show. Eileen Gonzalez has the latest.

149
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.440
<v Speaker 4>what he has to say at the bottom of the hour.

00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.639
<v Speaker 4>And right now we're going to check your drive on

153
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.159
<v Speaker 2>heard me talk about life Source water systems. In my opinion,

154
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Life Source is the best whole house system on the

155
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:30.120
<v Speaker 2>market bar none, and now is a great time to

156
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.759
<v Speaker 2>get a life Source system. As part of their anniversary sale,

157
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.720
<v Speaker 2>they're giving new customers a free Apple Pure antibacterial filter

158
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:40.039
<v Speaker 2>worth over nine hundred dollars. So call lfe source at

159
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:42.960
<v Speaker 2>one eight hundred Water nine nine. That's one eight hundred

160

162
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:55.360
<v Speaker 2>to a crash on the seven to ten in Bell Gardens.

163
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:00.559
<v Speaker 5>That's going to be on the south Bounce the seven

164
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.000
<v Speaker 5>ten right as you're coming up on Florence Avenue. There's

165
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.519
<v Speaker 5>a crash involving a box truck and two other vehicles.

166
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.039
<v Speaker 2>They're blocking the two left lanes.

167
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.320
<v Speaker 5>This accident will have you seen some sudden brake lights

168
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.360
<v Speaker 5>to that area, so use caution as you approach.

169
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:13.679
<v Speaker 2>Some good news on the four or five southbound.

170
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.840
<v Speaker 5>Through Culver City, an earlier installed vehicle near the ninety

171
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.399
<v Speaker 5>connector has been cleared from the left lane into the

172
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.919
<v Speaker 5>center divider. Looks like HP is still on scene, winning

173
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:22.480

182
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.000
<v Speaker 7>Have you heard the refinancing ridle of thumb that says

183
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:49.480
<v Speaker 7>you have to drop your rate at least a half

184
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.159
<v Speaker 7>of a percent to refi because it'll take several years

185
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 7>of savings to recoup the closing costs for a refi.

186
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.320
<v Speaker 7>The loan exchange says the rule is nonsense. With a

187
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.919
<v Speaker 7>Loan Exchange free closer, you can lower your rate without

188
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.039
<v Speaker 7>saying any cost whatsoever. That's right, lower your rate with

189
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.840
<v Speaker 7>no costs, and your balance doesn't go up. You start

190
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 7>saving on the first day you have the loan, and

191
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.519
<v Speaker 7>every day thereafter. If you decide to move next year

192
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:12.960
<v Speaker 7>or rates drop further, you can exchange that loan for

193
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.360
<v Speaker 7>another without losing a dollar that was tied up in

194
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.399
<v Speaker 7>closing costs. Today's thirty year fixed free closer rate in

195
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.120

<v Speaker 2>was everywhere. Everybody's touting the power of AI at the

299
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:50.279
<v Speaker 2>at the show. So many products, so many envisions, especially

300
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:56.279
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to software, and especially especially especially when

301
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.879
<v Speaker 2>it comes to quote unquote using my air quotes here,

302
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.360
<v Speaker 2>and whenever I do them, I use them pretty sarcastically,

303
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:10.079
<v Speaker 2>especially when it comes to air quote design software. Now,

304
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.799
<v Speaker 2>what is Dean's beef with this? He doesn't want to

305
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:17.200
<v Speaker 2>be replaced with AI. No, I'm not worried about that. Really,

306
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm truly not worried about that. I will tell you

307
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:26.279
<v Speaker 2>what I am concerned about. I'm concerned about a program.

308
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.000
<v Speaker 2>And there are a billion of them out there that say, hey,

309
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.480
<v Speaker 2>guess what. Now we've got this advanced AI, and all

310
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.279
<v Speaker 2>you have to do is input a photo of your room,

311
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:39.920
<v Speaker 2>or a photo of your kitchen, or a photo of

312
00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:43.599
<v Speaker 2>the front of your house, and then pay us our

313
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:47.039
<v Speaker 2>nominal fee, and our AI goes to work and will

314
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:51.240
<v Speaker 2>give you all sorts of renderings photo realistic, super hype

315
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:55.440
<v Speaker 2>of realistic renderings of what your house will look like

316
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:59.519
<v Speaker 2>if we redesign it. In other words, here's a little

317
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:05.319
<v Speaker 2>cottage front that they have on their website, and look

318
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:08.440
<v Speaker 2>at it with all these different front doors, different windows, styles,

319
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.839
<v Speaker 2>different This one has a stucco facing, this one has

320
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.839
<v Speaker 2>horizontal sighting, this one has brick facing, and so on

321
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.319
<v Speaker 2>and so forth. Just a computer generated and produced and

322
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.440
<v Speaker 2>it does give you some really cool perspective as to

323
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.880
<v Speaker 2>what these different surfaces would look like if you put

324
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.160
<v Speaker 2>them on your house. So what's my beef? If I

325
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.839
<v Speaker 2>don't have an issue with that, I think my main

326
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:39.079
<v Speaker 2>issue is the use of the word design as opposed

327
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:45.759
<v Speaker 2>to decor. Now here's the thing. What I get called

328
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:49.920
<v Speaker 2>out to do in consults and with clients all the

329
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:56.279
<v Speaker 2>time is to solve design problems. Very rarely, I will

330
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:58.920
<v Speaker 2>tell you, very rarely, and I have nothing. I mean,

331
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:06.599
<v Speaker 2>there are some incredibly talented interior designers, decore experts, some

332
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:10.240
<v Speaker 2>of them are very dear friends of mine, but they

333
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:14.119
<v Speaker 2>tend to not get involved in architectural design, in other words,

334
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.799
<v Speaker 2>moving bones of the house around. And that is always

335
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:24.119
<v Speaker 2>my first approach to a home when I'm looking at redesign. Oh,

336
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.160
<v Speaker 2>you're one of those expensive ones. Now that's not what

337
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about. I'm talking about the fact that design

338
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:34.480
<v Speaker 2>is more and should be more when it comes to

339
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:36.920
<v Speaker 2>your home and the money you're going to spend on it.

340
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Design should be more than just having a discussion about

341
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:48.000
<v Speaker 2>changing a superficial surface aesthetic. Okay, it's more than just

342
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.079
<v Speaker 2>changing the color of the wall, the paint on the walls,

343
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:54.799
<v Speaker 2>more than just options of wallpaper. As important as these

344
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:58.400
<v Speaker 2>things are, it's more than just well, should we redo

345
00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:02.920
<v Speaker 2>these kitchen cabinets. Give an example from a yesterday's consult

346
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.839
<v Speaker 2>lovely lovely couple absolutely fell in love with them. We

347
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:11.119
<v Speaker 2>were down in Garden Grove and uh, what was the

348
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.079
<v Speaker 2>key to unlocking their home? They had already had ideas about, Oh,

349
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:17.279
<v Speaker 2>we're going to gut this kitchen, we're going to replace

350
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:20.880
<v Speaker 2>these cabinets, we're going to replace these countertops. They had

351
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:23.359
<v Speaker 2>their ideas about how it was done. But after about

352
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:25.839
<v Speaker 2>a half an hour of talking with them and looking around,

353
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:30.640
<v Speaker 2>I moved their kitchen to another room. I did not

354
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:32.640
<v Speaker 2>all on the other side of the house, just a

355
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:36.920
<v Speaker 2>few feet away. The key to unlocking their home was

356
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.400
<v Speaker 2>actually moving the kitchen about ninety degrees and shifting it

357
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.039
<v Speaker 2>to an adjacent space. And you're thinking, oh, see, that's

358
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:46.559
<v Speaker 2>the kind of expense we can't have dean bah ah.

359
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:49.960
<v Speaker 2>But here's the thing. They were already planning on gutting

360
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:53.079
<v Speaker 2>their kitchen, taking out all the kitchen cabinets, all the countertops.

361
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was a full kitchen redo. Okay, that's

362
00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.720
<v Speaker 2>tens of thousands of dollars. That's the it's gonna be,

363
00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:05.880
<v Speaker 2>okay for about Let's say, let's be liberal and say

364
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:12.400
<v Speaker 2>the two thousand dollars more, we could saw cut the

365
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:16.640
<v Speaker 2>concrete slab, move the drain lines over, because those are

366
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:19.160
<v Speaker 2>the only really important things that are happening down the

367
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:21.920
<v Speaker 2>slab for a kitchen, move the drain lines over to

368
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:26.200
<v Speaker 2>this adjoining room, and simply rebuild the whole new kitchen there.

369
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:32.960
<v Speaker 2>The only price difference between spending sixty thousand dollars or

370
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.839
<v Speaker 2>sixty two thousand dollars, okay, was that two thousand dollars

371
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:40.599
<v Speaker 2>on the kitchen remodel, and by putting it in this

372
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:46.960
<v Speaker 2>other space, completely changed and unlocked the magic of their home.

373
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:50.440
<v Speaker 2>They hadn't thought of it that way, but that's what

374
00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:54.240
<v Speaker 2>they pay me to do. My point is AI based

375
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:59.839
<v Speaker 2>design quote unquote software doesn't think like that. These things

376
00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:03.480
<v Speaker 2>are set up. They're set up as marvels of design.

377
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.839
<v Speaker 2>It's so inexpensive to get your home redesigned. But it's

378
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:11.720
<v Speaker 2>not redesigning, it's just superficial change out. And if that's

379
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:16.359
<v Speaker 2>all you're looking for, great, pay a nominal fee and

380
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:18.240
<v Speaker 2>get different looks on the front of your house. But

381
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:21.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you right now, if you're really looking to

382
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.720
<v Speaker 2>make sure your house gets transformed in this next remodel,

383
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:27.720
<v Speaker 2>then pay a designer to come in and give you

384
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:32.200
<v Speaker 2>their opinion. They're going to do more than AI software

385
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:35.880
<v Speaker 2>ever could. And so again I've got nothing against AI

386
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:41.400
<v Speaker 2>or inexpensive decore suggestions. It's just not the game changer

387
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.759
<v Speaker 2>that usually the house needs. That's all I'm saying. All Right, more,

388
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.359
<v Speaker 2>when we come back, you're home with Dean Sharp the

389

<v Speaker 2>Dean Sharp the house Whisper. That is me and we

395
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:10.079
<v Speaker 2>are talking about the best of the International Builder Show,

396
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:13.200
<v Speaker 2>which just wrapped up this week in Las Vegas. It's

397
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:18.240
<v Speaker 2>an annual event. It is the largest industry construction and

398
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:23.400
<v Speaker 2>design industry event on the planet, and every year we

399
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.359
<v Speaker 2>pick through the best of and I bring you things

400
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.359
<v Speaker 2>that I think are relevant to you looking forward to

401
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:35.000
<v Speaker 2>the future, anybody who's interested in homes, in custom home

402
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:39.599
<v Speaker 2>building and remodeling, all the things that affect us as

403
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:42.839
<v Speaker 2>homeowners that I think are most pertinent. And there are

404
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:46.799
<v Speaker 2>a goa billion things that happen at the International Builder Show.

405
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:51.400
<v Speaker 2>A lot of them are industry within industry show items,

406
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.279
<v Speaker 2>but these are the things that really approach you as

407
00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:59.599
<v Speaker 2>a homeowner. And we're doing it today and tomorrow because

408
00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:02.880
<v Speaker 2>it's a big list. Even though my list is tiny

409
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:05.559
<v Speaker 2>compared to everything that was at the show, it's still

410
00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:08.480
<v Speaker 2>a big list. So this is part one, next episode

411
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:12.640
<v Speaker 2>A next broadcast tomorrow the Big Show will be part two,

412
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:16.160
<v Speaker 2>so don't miss it. All right, real quick, I'm running late,

413
00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:18.599
<v Speaker 2>so I need to adjust some time here, but I

414
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.039
<v Speaker 2>want to talk to you about one of the things

415
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:26.759
<v Speaker 2>that still I just absolutely love and not everything that

416
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:32.960
<v Speaker 2>comes out at the Builders Show is amazingly expensive, and

417
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:35.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, innovation does not have to necessarily, you know,

418
00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:39.680
<v Speaker 2>cost a billion dollars. How about something that costs about

419
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:45.359
<v Speaker 2>nine dollars. Yeah, that sounds nice. Now that I've mentioned

420
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:49.480
<v Speaker 2>them before, so this is not brand new in concept,

421
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:54.400
<v Speaker 2>but the good people at door Saver have introduced this

422
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:58.240
<v Speaker 2>year the door Saver three doorstop. So this is the

423
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:02.359
<v Speaker 2>third generation of their door or stop doorstops. You know

424
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:08.039
<v Speaker 2>they're they're what they are right there there. You've got

425
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:12.200
<v Speaker 2>really two choices when it comes to keeping a door

426
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.720
<v Speaker 2>from swinging and banging against the base board or the handle,

427
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:19.759
<v Speaker 2>banging into dry wall or hitting a piece of furniture

428
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:23.240
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. Right you've you've essentially you've had two choices.

429
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:27.480
<v Speaker 2>One is you get the little door stop peg that

430
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:30.319
<v Speaker 2>you mount down on the base board and you screw

431
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:32.519
<v Speaker 2>that in and it's sticking out about three and a

432
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:37.839
<v Speaker 2>half four inches, and sometimes they get kicked and ripped

433
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.799
<v Speaker 2>out of the wall, or maybe you've decided, well, I'm

434
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:42.200
<v Speaker 2>not going to do that again. You get one of

435
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:44.400
<v Speaker 2>those spring ones. We all know the sound that those

436
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:49.079
<v Speaker 2>things like that. You know they're there. They're not all

437
00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:53.240
<v Speaker 2>together attractive, they're in the way. They get hit by

438
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:57.039
<v Speaker 2>vacuum cleaners and people and stuff. The other option, if

439
00:25:57.079 --> 00:25:59.640
<v Speaker 2>you don't want that happening, is that you get one

440
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:02.960
<v Speaker 2>of those those little hinge pin door stops, which means

441
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:05.519
<v Speaker 2>you take out like the top or the middle hinge

442
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:10.119
<v Speaker 2>pin and you slide this little adapter on and it

443
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:14.799
<v Speaker 2>basically is kind of a triangular shaped thing, and it's

444
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:17.279
<v Speaker 2>got a pad where it pushes against the door and

445
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:20.119
<v Speaker 2>then it makes contact with the wall, and there's usually

446
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:23.640
<v Speaker 2>like an adjustable screwpad. And you know it's fine, it's

447
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.279
<v Speaker 2>not down in the way where you kick it, but

448
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:32.799
<v Speaker 2>still that thing is still pushing against the door in

449
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:36.319
<v Speaker 2>one particular place, and it's also pushing against the wall

450
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:39.279
<v Speaker 2>in a particular place. And if you open the door

451
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:42.000
<v Speaker 2>hard enough and push hard enough, it might push through

452
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:45.319
<v Speaker 2>the wall and do damage to the wall. Nonetheless, So

453
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:48.200
<v Speaker 2>you would think in this day and age that somebody

454
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:50.960
<v Speaker 2>could design a doorstop that would not rely on the

455
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:54.480
<v Speaker 2>pressure points on the wall or the baseboard. And they

456
00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:57.440
<v Speaker 2>have the good people at door Saber, and I believe

457
00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:59.559
<v Speaker 2>you can get these even now at lows and home

458
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:04.599
<v Speaker 2>deepot places like that. Door Saver has designed a hinge

459
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:08.880
<v Speaker 2>pin based door stop. It does not put pressure on

460
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:11.200
<v Speaker 2>the door, It doesn't even touch the door, and it

461
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:16.599
<v Speaker 2>doesn't touch the wall. It is its own cam activated

462
00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:21.559
<v Speaker 2>system that controls the swing of the door, just as

463
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:25.240
<v Speaker 2>an addition to the hingepin. It's very very low profile.

464
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:30.680
<v Speaker 2>It comes in multiple finishes and it installs in seconds.

465
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:33.440
<v Speaker 2>You take out the hingepin, you replace it with the

466
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.440
<v Speaker 2>door saver pin and stop, and you actually get to

467
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:39.920
<v Speaker 2>set it. You can set it as to how far

468
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:42.720
<v Speaker 2>it allows the door to open. It has a geared

469
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:47.759
<v Speaker 2>system inside. It's brilliant and I'm gonna stop describing it

470
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:49.240
<v Speaker 2>to you and just tell you you can look it

471
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:54.400
<v Speaker 2>up right now online Door Saver three, Hidden Door Stop.

472
00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:57.920
<v Speaker 2>It's just a few bucks and honestly it's a game

473
00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:01.279
<v Speaker 2>changer when it comes to doors in a home. You

474
00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:04.359
<v Speaker 2>need to check it out all right. More when we

483
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:34.519
<v Speaker 2>best of the International Builder Show, which just wrapped up

484
00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:37.000
<v Speaker 2>this week. I'm glad you're here with me right now.

485
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:39.160
<v Speaker 2>If you just joined us, hang tight, I've still got

486
00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:43.039
<v Speaker 2>some fun stuff here, so let me hit at least

487
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:45.599
<v Speaker 2>one more thing before we are done and out today.

488
00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:49.240
<v Speaker 2>And this is exciting news for me. I just love

489
00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:52.039
<v Speaker 2>to see this because you know, I understand. I have

490
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:56.000
<v Speaker 2>come from the world of a state level design. This

491
00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:59.359
<v Speaker 2>is where I've spent the vast majority of my time

492
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:05.319
<v Speaker 2>as a custom home designer, working on big stuff, big, big,

493
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:06.200
<v Speaker 2>big stuff.

494
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:07.079
<v Speaker 3>You know.

495
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:09.960
<v Speaker 2>I was just very fortunate to be able to enter

496
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:14.680
<v Speaker 2>into that field because a lot of creativity. Also a

497
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:18.599
<v Speaker 2>lot of the solutions that I hand to you for mainstream,

498
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:23.319
<v Speaker 2>middle class homes, even tiny little cottages and apartments and condos,

499
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:28.319
<v Speaker 2>come from the lessons that are practiced and learned on

500
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:33.480
<v Speaker 2>the on the kinds of homes in which there are

501
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:37.680
<v Speaker 2>very very few limits, and the kinds of homes in

502
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.759
<v Speaker 2>which the very best of architectural design is applied. And

503
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:46.599
<v Speaker 2>that has something that has always bothered me about the

504
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:50.240
<v Speaker 2>design world is that, you know, it's really one of

505
00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:53.559
<v Speaker 2>the secret sauces if you want to what I do

506
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:59.519
<v Speaker 2>here on this show, and that is democratizing good design,

507
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:05.519
<v Speaker 2>good architectural design. It doesn't just belong to the big

508
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:09.240
<v Speaker 2>house on the hill behind the private gates. It should

509
00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:14.559
<v Speaker 2>belong to everyone. Good design belongs to everyone, including access

510
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:20.480
<v Speaker 2>to great designed materials and access to all sorts of

511
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:24.720
<v Speaker 2>interesting ways of doing a thing. And here is one

512
00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:27.400
<v Speaker 2>from the International Builder Show that I'm so happy about

513
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:32.279
<v Speaker 2>talk about democratization of good design. Masonite. Mason I it's

514
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Speaker 2>a massive company. You might know them for the boards

515
00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:38.119
<v Speaker 2>that they've created, but they also happen to be now

516
00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:43.680
<v Speaker 2>the largest door manufacturer in North America, all sorts of doors,

517
00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:48.039
<v Speaker 2>entry doors, interior doors of all shapes and sizes. They

518
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:50.920
<v Speaker 2>are mainline I mean Masonite doors. You can order them

519
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:53.480
<v Speaker 2>at lows and home Depot and big Boxes and every

520
00:30:53.559 --> 00:31:00.759
<v Speaker 2>door specialty company everywhere. Okay, Masonite is huge. And so

521
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:03.920
<v Speaker 2>they have introduced a couple of things that the show.

522
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:10.559
<v Speaker 2>One Dura style real wood doors. These are real wood doors,

523
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:14.559
<v Speaker 2>not fiberglass simulated door. These are exterior doors like your

524
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:17.640
<v Speaker 2>front door okay, or back door, anything that exposed to

525
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:22.400
<v Speaker 2>the element real wood, solid wood okay. But they have

526
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:27.640
<v Speaker 2>improved their assembly technology. They use a product a process

527
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:33.039
<v Speaker 2>called aquaceele and combine that with torrified wood torrified wood.

528
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:34.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to get into the big thing. It's

529
00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:38.240
<v Speaker 2>simply this. It is wood that has undergone a thermal

530
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:44.119
<v Speaker 2>heating price process that has changed the molecular structure of

531
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:47.359
<v Speaker 2>the wood, essentially has aged it and dried it way

532
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:51.880
<v Speaker 2>beyond kiln dride, way beyond that, and it basically renders

533
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:57.279
<v Speaker 2>would virtually weather proof on every level. So a combination

534
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:01.799
<v Speaker 2>of their new aquacal technology and their torripe wood exterior doors,

535
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:08.400
<v Speaker 2>you now have real wood doors twenty two times greater

536
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:15.119
<v Speaker 2>weather protection than any standard wood door. That is massive.

537
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:22.519
<v Speaker 2>That's just massive. So Masonite introducing a fantastic material across

538
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:27.960
<v Speaker 2>the line for now available for any homeowner. And also

539
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:34.319
<v Speaker 2>Masonite is now handling oversized pivot doors. Pivot doors are

540
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:38.640
<v Speaker 2>almost exclusively and have been a luxury market item, and

541
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:42.519
<v Speaker 2>now Masonite has essentially come in and said, listen, everybody

542
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.359
<v Speaker 2>should have access to a good pivot door. A pivot door.

543
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:47.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm going to talk about a little bit

544
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:50.599
<v Speaker 2>more tomorrow the advantages and the reasons that we would

545
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:52.680
<v Speaker 2>apply a pivot door. But a pivot door, if you

546
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:56.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know, instead of having hinges on the edge attached

547
00:32:56.480 --> 00:33:01.119
<v Speaker 2>to a jam has pivot pins top and bottomn about

548
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:02.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, a few inches in from the edge of

549
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:05.119
<v Speaker 2>the door, and it allows us to put a much heavier,

550
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.599
<v Speaker 2>much larger, oversized door in a door opening. It's very

551
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:12.880
<v Speaker 2>cool how it opens by the way, and it's a

552
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:16.759
<v Speaker 2>stronger door. It is a it holds up longer, it

553
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:19.480
<v Speaker 2>doesn't put pressure on the jam or the door edges

554
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:24.400
<v Speaker 2>or the hinges. Almost exclusively before. Now a luxury item

555
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:29.000
<v Speaker 2>that masonite you're you know, the Toyota of door manufacturers

556
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:33.440
<v Speaker 2>is now introducing and and expanding out to a much

557
00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:36.599
<v Speaker 2>wider audience. And that kind of stuff gets me excited

558
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:40.759
<v Speaker 2>because design options, real design options. And no it's not

559
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:42.880
<v Speaker 2>for everybody. It's not gonna be for everybody, but the

560
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:45.880
<v Speaker 2>point is it's available and it's out there, and now

561
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:49.720
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna know about it. Uh And instead of just

562
00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:52.720
<v Speaker 2>it being a secret in the pocket of luxury designers

563
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:55.960
<v Speaker 2>like me, you know, for our wealthy, wealthy clients. It's

564
00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:59.839
<v Speaker 2>just I love the idea that really good design is

565
00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:02.160
<v Speaker 2>out there and available to everybody. And that's what we

566
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:05.599
<v Speaker 2>strive for here on the program every weekend. So here's

567
