00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Let's say good morning to the host of home on CAFI.

2
00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:06.839
<v Speaker 1>It's our house, whisper Dean Sharp. Good morning, Dean, Good

3
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:10.679
<v Speaker 1>morning Amy. Okay, so let's talk about space. Everybody wants space.

4
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:13.359
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not only talking personal space. I'm talking about

5
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>space in your house. Yes, all right, So you're talking

6
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.600
<v Speaker 1>about you know, revamping your space can cost a lot

7
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 1>of money, but there are spaces where you can you know,

8
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>get yourself a good little deal.

9
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, we're going to get a little unorthodox this

10
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:35.719
<v Speaker 2>weekend because you know, inflation has not left. Funds are

11
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 2>tight for people. It's remodeling season. Some people are thinking, ugh, ugh,

12
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 2>we need more space to live in this house. But

13
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't have a full on budget to just you know,

14
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 2>add on or whatever. And so I get this question

15
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot. And so we're going to talk about two

16
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 2>particular spaces this weekend that actually are sitting there waiting

17
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>for that are the least expensive places to look in

18
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 2>order to get more living space at your house. One

19
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.920
<v Speaker 2>is the garage and the other is going outside and

20
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:16.959
<v Speaker 2>getting taking as much outdoor space as possible. Now, by

21
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 2>going outside, I don't mean doing a room edition, I

22
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 2>mean living more outside and as a result not having

23
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.560
<v Speaker 2>to spend all of the money that we would spend

24
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.840
<v Speaker 2>on walls and floors and that kind of stuff in

25
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 2>order to create more space for us to just, uh,

26
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, get by. But the garage to start is

27
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:45.120
<v Speaker 2>what we call a potential flex space, meaning that we

28
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:47.959
<v Speaker 2>don't have to abandon it as a garage in order

29
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.799
<v Speaker 2>for it to be other things at the same time.

30
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 1>You know.

31
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Yourself, okay, well, I mean if you have you know,

32
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.719
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing with the garage. Let's talk about the

33
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>lead developed garages out there. The least developed garages out

34
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:08.080
<v Speaker 2>there have a concrete floor, older homes that have studs,

35
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean, it's a garage, it's a room,

36
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 2>but there's no drywall on the walls. The studs are

37
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.120
<v Speaker 2>all open exposed studs. The ceiling is open and exposed,

38
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 2>but there is a floor, there are walls, there is

39
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 2>a ceiling in there. So really we're just a few

40
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 2>steps away. We're a little bit of insulation, maybe a

41
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>little electrical work, and some dry wall away from creating

42
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>a full fledged room out there. And those things up

43
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.560
<v Speaker 2>in the big scheme of thing are not all of

44
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 2>that expensive. If we organize the garage. If we get

45
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 2>our clutter under control, if we put laid down maybe

46
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 2>a nicey POxy or a stained finished floor, and we

47
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>get a little heat or cooling in that garage, then

48
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, we've got another four hundred or

49
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 2>so square feet that can be used for things other

50
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>than just parking the cars. And when we say flex space,

51
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean this room is ready to be used as

52
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 2>soon as we pull the cars out for extra space.

53
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:14.199
<v Speaker 2>So let's say it's the weekend and it's time to

54
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>entertain and there needs to be a place to watch

55
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 2>the big game, or all of the kids need to

56
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.479
<v Speaker 2>hang out somewhere not in the house with the adults,

57
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>just to give everybody some more elbow room. Well, it

58
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean that the garage can't be in the normal

59
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.879
<v Speaker 2>place where you park the cars. But if we pull

60
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>the cars out, suddenly we've got all of that space.

61
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:39.159
<v Speaker 2>It's clean, it's neat, and it's ready to go. That's

62
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 2>what we mean flex space. So I'm not talking about well, fine,

63
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna park my cars outside for the rest

64
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>of my life. No, you park the cars in the garage,

65
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.479
<v Speaker 2>but as soon as you pull them out for this

66
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>special event, or to do crafting, or to because you

67
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.719
<v Speaker 2>need gym time. That's when the garage becomes a flex space.

68
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:00.479
<v Speaker 1>Okay, kind of like that I did, because spruce it

69
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit. And then it's also not it's

70
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>a flex space, but it's also a versatile space because

71
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.039
<v Speaker 1>you can use it for different things. It doesn't it's

72
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.319
<v Speaker 1>not predefined exactly.

73
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 2>Why not allow the garage to be that game room,

74
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.120
<v Speaker 2>the media room, a craft room, a gym, you know,

75
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.399
<v Speaker 2>all of these kinds of things, and also house the

76
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 2>cars when it's time to park the cars at the

77
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>same time.

78
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I love that. And then very quickly outdoors, you're saying,

79
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>don't you're not putting a building out there, You're just

80
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.879
<v Speaker 1>putting making a living space out there. So are you

81
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:35.959
<v Speaker 1>talking about like couches and TVs and stuff.

82
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're talking about comfortable places for people to exist,

83
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 2>for people to converse. If we put a little warmth

84
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.240
<v Speaker 2>out there, maybe it's a fire pit or something like that.

85
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 2>If we've got comfortable furniture out there, a little bit

86
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.240
<v Speaker 2>of shade. A shade doesn't have to be a patio

87
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>cover that costs thirty thousand dollars. It can be a

88
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:01.560
<v Speaker 2>twelve hundred dollars, really really nice, you know, umbrella, a

89
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 2>little shade, a little cooling, a little warmth in the evening,

90
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:11.079
<v Speaker 2>some comfortable furniture. The floor can be something as simple

91
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.959
<v Speaker 2>as pea gravel raked across and nicely shaped. The point

92
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.800
<v Speaker 2>is outdoors is a place where you can get a

93
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.560
<v Speaker 2>lot of space. You can annex a lot of living

94
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.199
<v Speaker 2>space for your house without having to spend the kind

95
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.040
<v Speaker 2>of money that you would spend on a room edih.

96
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and Dean's going to have so many more tips

97
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 1>and tricks than ideas for you this weekend. Where to

98
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.279
