50
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,600

Speaker 2: have the same meaning that they have in New Orleans

76
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,920

Speaker 5: You should.

107
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: I think there's no category for us.

108
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 5: I think there is.

109
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 2: You could there.

110
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's podcasts that you will qualify for. And then

111
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 5: I think maybe community programming, Like, yeah, there's there's some

112
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 5: categories I think you'll qualify for.

113
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: But I feel like I've just kept telling myself all

114
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 2: these years there's no category, and that's why I never

115
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 2: got nominated. But but it is.

116
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 5: Mostly news focused, like it is just suck. No, No,

117
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 5: that's definitely not it. It's definitely focused on like news.

118
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 5: But there are there are categories you could win. You

119
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 5: could ask Michelle Cube, she would know.

120
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: Can I pay Michelle to get us to win? No,

121
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: the station will pay the station. That's how it works.

122
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's not gonna happen. That's true.

123

156
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: of the new things that are breaking on the horizon

157
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: and just new technologies, new ideas from both a design

158
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 2: and a construction perspective. And I always, you know, I

159
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: always just break it down to I mean, there are

160
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: thousands upon thousands of booths. Well maybe not thousands upon thousands,

161
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: but it's massive. It's as big as Cees the Consumer

162
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 2: Electronics Show. It is the largest residential construction and design

163
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: show on the planet, and it's truly an international show,

164
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: vendors from all over the planet coming. So it was

165
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: a great show, as it always is. It's only grown

166
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 2: larger and larger every year, and so we'll have plenty

167
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: to talk about tomorrow. Why don't we do this, We're

168
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: gonna take a break. I see a call on the board.

169
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: We could certainly have room for you as well. Here's

Speaker 2: the number again, eight three three to ask Dean. When

176
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: has passed us, like it's over. I think I think

177

00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: why did I open my maps app? Yeah, looks like

180
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: the rain is passed. Oh oh oh oh we're getting rising.

181
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: Looks like temperatures are gonna be rising up into the sixties,

182
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: maybe even the seventies this week. So it's sunny. It's

183
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 2: gonna be the beginning of a beautiful weekend here. So

184
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: it's time to get out in the yard and clean

185
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 2: up all that post rain stuff. I have leaves everywhere everywhere. Yeah,

196
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: Let's talk to Amy. Hey, Amy, welcome home.

197
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: Hi Dean?

198
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 6: How are you?

199
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: I am well? How can I help you?

200
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 3: Well?

201
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 8: Dean?

202
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 6: I have an old condo in Mission Vieho. I need

203
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 6: to replace a fiberglass shower insert. I had a representative

204
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 6: from new Lux come out.

205
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 8: Awesome.

206
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 6: I know they'll do a good job. They have great reviews.

207
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 6: I'm just wondering about doing more of a is it

208
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 6: more of a modern insert again that I would be

209
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 6: doing versus doing a tile shower. So that's my main

210
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 6: concern is will it just looked kind of plastic y

211
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 6: versus doing tiles, maybe even large format tiles or something

212
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 6: along that line.

213
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: Okay, gotcha. So New Lux Baths, by the way, a

214
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 2: sponsor of our San Diego show, and for good reason.

215
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 2: I really love those guys, love them. I was down

216
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: at the San Diego Home Show a couple three weeks ago,

217
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: three four, you know, time just rolls on. Just just

218
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 2: recently spent the day with them down there. Great great company,

219
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: super reliable company, really know their stuff and the niche

220
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: that they have carved out for themselves as far as

221
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: bathroom remodels are fantastic. So I just got to tout

222
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: them a little bit for you, Amy, not because I'm

223
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: obligated to, but because because you know, everybody we have

224
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: on the show as partners are here because I want

225
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: them to be here. And New Luck is they're just

226
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 2: a great, great company and really know their stuff when

227
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 2: it comes to this. The thing that I love about

228
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 2: them the most, by the way, And I told I

229
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 2: promise I'm gonna answer your question. But the thing about

230
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: that I love about New Lux the most is just

231
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 2: the process that they go through for their installations. I

232
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: wish every every contractor bathroom or otherwise would do this.

233
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: They get all the design worked out ahead of time,

234
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: they will get all the materials ordered, They'll get everything

235
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: staged and ready, and that means that the time in

236
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 2: your bathroom actually changing it out, it goes really really fast.

237
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 2: Sometimes they can get a bathroom changed out in just

238
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 2: days and not weeks, just days, sometimes in under a week,

239
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: depending on the situation. And they have their niche and

240
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: one of the things that they specialize in is pulling

241
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: out the builders special and that is what you've just

242
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: described that you've got. A builder's special is a fiberglass

243
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: shower and sometimes shower tub combo, the whole one unit fiberglass. Uh.

244
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: And that is the literally the cheapest thing that you

245
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 2: could ever put in a bathroom. That's why we call

246
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: them builders special because you know they I mean, they function,

247
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: they function clearly, they they work, but they are the

248
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: least expensive thing that a builder could use, which increases

249
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: their profitability on the house and so on. And yeah,

250
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: every good homeowner eventually pulls out their builders special and

251
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: replaces it with something nicer, and and so New Lux

252
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: kind of specializes in that. Now, what the materials that

253
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: they utilize are very, very different than fiberglass. Fiberglass is

254
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: is a you know, well, it's fiberglass, it's the it's

255
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: the I'm not gonna say the word plastic, but as

256
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: far as that vibe is concerned, it's the most plastic

257
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: key of things that you can have. As opposed to that,

258
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: New Lux works with composites and quartz, which are man

259
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: made stones, but it's synthetic stone. And I say that,

260
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: I mean that they are depending on the brain. There's

261
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: a bunch of different kinds that they use. There's so

262
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: many different kinds out there. Let's just go with quartz

263
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: for a second. Quartz is the second hardest material on

264
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: the planet in terms of mineral just right after diamonds.

265
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: And quartz is called quartz because it is made up

266
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: of quartz crystals of usually ninety percent plus and with

267
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: some binding resins and the arc that quartz materials have

268
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: made over the years. And we're not talking about it

269
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: by the way about Korean. Okay, Korean came out way

270
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:05,479
Speaker 2: back in the eighties, and it's primarily a resin material.

271
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 2: That's why it's kind of that. So it has kind

272
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: of that dull, plasticky feel to it, at least it

273
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: did back then. Quarts is mostly stone, and the simulations

274
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 2: that they can do these days with marble graining is

275
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: just really really outstanding in a lot of ways. They

276
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: can simulate all different kinds of stone. So the answer

277
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: is no, it will not have a plastic feel to

278
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: it at all. It's a very realistic stone kind of vibe. Now,

279
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: it's not exactly the same as as slabs of natural stone, okay.

280
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: And whether or not you really want tile in there

281
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: is that's something for you to process through and there's

282
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: that's there's not a right or wrong to that, okay.

283
00:16:54,640 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 2: New Lux specializes in that niche of satisfying people who

284
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: are sick and tired of their tile because they're tired

285
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: of cleaning grout lines and or they're sick and tired

286
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: of their builders special fiberglass because it's cracking or it's yellowing,

287
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: or they're just tired of having the cheapest thing in

288
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: their bathroom that they could possibly have. So that's the

289
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 2: idea behind what they do. And so the materials our

290
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 2: industry standard solid quartz and other composites, And no, it

291
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: won't be a plastic feel. But whether or not it's

292
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 2: too contemporary for you in appearance, that's just a design

293
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: choice for you.

294
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay.

295
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: I don't mind the look of it at all.

296
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 6: I love that it's groutless, so I have no worries

297
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 6: about how they'll install it. They were very professional. I

298
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 6: love the whole idea. The company sounds fantastic, but I thought,

299
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 6: I don't want someone if we had to sell it

300
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 6: in five years walk in and go oh, for crying

301
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 6: out loud, they put in a new modern fiberglass insert.

302
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 6: You know, I don't want somebody.

303
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: That's what I was worried.

304
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 6: About, because it's not substantially less than doing a tile shower.

305
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 6: So if we're a huge differ, right right. So yeah,

306
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 6: so that's mainly what I was worried about, just thinking, no, gosh,

307
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 6: I don't want it to look away.

308
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: No won't because instead of being a one unit, you know,

309
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 2: each of these panels are separate, so the corners are tight,

310
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 2: they're sharp corners. Uh, they you know, it's the same

311
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 2: as if as if we came in with actual marble

312
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: slabs and and did the whole thing out of natural stone.

313
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 2: It's just this is a a more durable product for

314
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 2: the bathroom and for the shower, and less expensive than

315
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: most natural stone because it is a synthetic composite. But

316
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 2: they have more control over the quality of it as well. Amy,

317
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: thanks for the question, a great, great question and great company,

318
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 2: so you know, two thumbs up for them. But again,

319
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 2: if you if you feel like going tile, then you

320
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: know you should explore that as well. All Right, y'all,

321
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 2: we are up against a break when we come back.

Speaker 2: out ask Dean eight three three two. Ask Dean. We've

339
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 2: got room on the callboard for you. Give me a call.

340
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: Let's talk about whatever's going on with your home. I

341
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 2: want to talk to Terry. Hey, Terry, welcome home.

342
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 3: Yes, I have American home shield and I had a

343
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 3: cartridge replaced in my shower. Well, I don't use that shower,

344
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: and I wasn't aware that I'm only getting warm water.

345
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: So I'm getting warm water and half the house and

346
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 3: hot water in the other half. And he said, I

347
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: have a crossover. So when I call plumbers, when I

348
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: decide to have this done, which I'm not sure I

349
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 3: even need. I wanted to know what the price range

350
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 3: would be.

351
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not exactly sure. I mean it should be.

352
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: You're saying it's affecting a larger part of the house.

353
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 3: I'm only getting hot water on half of the house.

354
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 3: And they said they I had a crossover. What the

355
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 3: water is sim a cold water is getting in the

356
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 3: hot wire pipes.

357
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well vice versa actually, but yes, that's there

358
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 2: is a crossover somewhere, and it shouldn't be that big

359
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 2: of a thing if if it was, if the mistake

360
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 2: was made initially, it shouldn't be too hard to correct it.

361
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 3: Now.

362
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 2: I can't tell you what it would cost because you know,

363
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 2: the plumbers are on a timing basis. It has to

364
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 2: do with the access and actually where the crossover occurred.

365
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: But the fix itself should be relatively simple. It's just

366
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 2: a question of whether or not they can find it.

367
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: And when they do find it, you know, how quickly

368
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: they'll be able to reverse it back.

369
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 3: So do they have to tear out walls or anything

370
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 3: like that?

371
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 2: Oh? Very unlikely, very unlikely. How long has this been

372
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: going on?

373
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 3: I don't know because I haven't used that for about

374
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 3: four years.

375
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: Oh okay, But but the point is, you know it

376
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: happened at some point somebody you know, basically miswired something

377
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: you know, I say wired, but it's obviously a plumbing thing. Uh,

378
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 2: They've they've crossed something over a hot into the cold line,

379
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 2: a hot feet into the cold and very very unlikely

380
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: that it is in an area difficult to reach. And

381
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: here's the reason why, because it's happening in more than

382
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: just one location. If it was just in the one bathroom,

383
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: if it was just in the one shower, then that

384
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 2: might be a little trickier because it might have happened

385
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 2: literally just above the valve and that's in the wall.

386
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 2: But if it's happening at more than one location throughout

387
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 2: the house, then it's on a supply line leading to it.

388
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: And that is very very likely, you know, up in

389
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: the attic or in a place where it can be

390
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 2: easily reached because it was done that I, oh, you

391
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 2: don't have an attic at all. Is all of your

392
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: plumbing in the ground.

393
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 3: The warm water is only on half of the house

394
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 3: and the downstairs bathroom and the upstairs shower.

395
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so the but the point is that it's feeding

396
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: that area, not just a single valve or a single

397
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: shower head. So it's it's likely not buried in a

398
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: wall where the problem occurred. It's likely in an area

399
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 2: that can be accessed a little bit easier. Now, nobody's

400
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 2: going to know that for sure until a plumber gets

401
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: in there and are.

402
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: You talking about five thousand dollars or more or less?

403
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 2: I don't know for sure, but five thousand would be

404
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: kind of crazy out of control. I'm thinking that it's

405
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 2: going to be you know, a few hundred dollars to

406
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: get it resolved, unless they've got to tear into something.

407
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 2: But again, Terry, this is something that that you're going

408
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 2: to have to get somebody eyes on to actually figure

409
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 2: out where the problem is. And then the best thing

410
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: that you can do at that point the big question

411
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: about how much does the thing cost? And I get

412
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 2: that question a lot, and it's very very tough to

413
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 2: know that because house to house things are very different

414
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 2: and it really has to do with your specific circumstance.

415
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 2: But the way to know how much it should cost

416
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: for you is that you do your due diligence and

417
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: call out more than one plumber. So you call out

418
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: a plumbing company and you get their perspective and they're like, oh, yeah,

419
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: it's right here. If they turn around and say, hey,

420
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: it's going to be a few, you know, a couple

421
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: hundred dollars to fix this for you, then you know,

422
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 2: I would probably pull the trigger right then in there.

423
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: But if they hand you an estimate that's a kind

424
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 2: of large and unwieldy. Then you're like, okay, thank you,

425
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: and then you call out a couple of more reputable plumbers.

426
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 2: When it comes to something big, the way to know

427
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 2: what a thing costs for your home is to have

428
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 2: multiple estimates from multiple reputable contractors so that you get

429
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 2: a sense. Right, you got three. Three is kind of

430
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: the magic number, that's what we aim towards. And you're like, oh, yeah,

431
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 2: you know, both of these guys kind of agree. They're

432
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: pretty close to each other. Maybe there's an outlier that's

433
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 2: either way way cheaper or way way more expensive. And

434
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 2: then you ask the question why that is. But three

435
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 2: bids for whatever the big project is, and then you

436
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 2: know you're like, oh, they've all settled in around I mean,

437
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: they're all within a couple hundred dollars of each other. Yeah,

438
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: well guess what, that's exactly what that project probably should cost.

439
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: And that's how you'll know whether somebody is out of

440
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 2: line or not. But never go blindly with just one bid, unless,

441
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 2: of course, that bid is from a reputable plumber and

442
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: it just fits, you know, conveniently into your budget. You're like, oh,

443
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: that's a lot less than I thought it would be.

444
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 2: Go ahead and get the work done. But if it's

445
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: something that you know kind of gives you stick shock,

446
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 2: then don't just commit that day assuming that well that's

447
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 2: what it's going to cost, because somebody might be overcharging you.

448
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: You want to compare that, you know, it's comparison shopping.

449
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 2: Window shopping is free. Always, always do your due diligence

450
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 2: if you don't want to just be throwing money out

451
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: the window. Terry, thanks for the question, good question, Good

452
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: luck on that. Do your due diligence. You know, this

453
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: is a situation where homeowners have to do work too.

454
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 2: You don't have to actually do the physical plumbing work,

455
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: but your home. You're the producer of that movie, and

456
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 2: you've got to do your due diligence to keep the

457
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 2: budget under control. And that means multiple bids and working

458
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 2: your way through that. All right, y'all, when we come back,

459
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: more of your calls your home with Dean Sharp, the

464
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: than just like, oh, my home looks like it belongs

465
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 2: in a magazine. That's not always the case for everybody.

466
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: Great design is this. It is a home that is

467
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: yes beautiful that people are like, oh wow, this is

468
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 2: a special place. It doesn't have to be jaw dropping.

469
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: You know, cottages are not jaw dropping. Tina and I

470
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 2: live in a very very small home. You know, you

471
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: could definitely call it a cottage. We call it a

472
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 2: cottage because it's not a big home and nobody's ever

473
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 2: going to walk into our home and you know, just

474
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 2: you know, their jaw drops in awe because you know,

475
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: awe and splendor that's reserved for bigger, you know, more

476
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 2: voluminous things. But we're not looking for that. People do

477
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: say awe, but not in the they say, aw this

478
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 2: is so nice. You know, just this place just has

479
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 2: a certain feel to it. We just want to spend time.

480
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: We love coming over and just being here, and that,

481
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 2: my friend, is the work of good design. That's the

482
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: effect that it has on other people. But first and foremost,

483
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: the whole idea of great design is so that a home,

484
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: a house that you live in slowly but surely makes

485
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: its way towards becoming tailored to your life, to the

486
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: very encouraging and accelerating and amplifying the very very best

487
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: of who you are and the life that you want

488
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 2: to live. So we're talking about tailoring a thing. That's

489
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: what a custom home is. Custom homes are not about luxury.

490
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: Custom and luxury are two completely different categories. People confuse

491
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: that all the time. They're like, oh, well, a custom home,

492
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: that's just all that expensive stuff. No, that's not what

493
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: we're talking about. It's not about the materials that you're using.

494
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: It's about the tailoring. Custom is tailoring. So you could

495
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: bring me a shirt that you just bought a target for,

496
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: you know, nineteen dollars, and if I was a tailor

497
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: of clothing, then we'd measure you up and we figure

498
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: out exactly what you plan to use this shirt for,

499
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: and maybe we make some alterations to it to fit

500
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: it to you. And guess what, that nineteen dollars shirt

501
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 2: tailored properly to your body? Very likely could you know,

502
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: maybe you own some really expensive stuff, but that shirt

503
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: probably becomes your favorite shirt. Why because it's tailored to you.

504
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: So it doesn't matter whether your home is you know

505
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: to maintain the clothing metaphor whether you know your home

506
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: is just nothing but rich furs and silks and cashmeres,

507
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: or whether it's made out of cotton or burr lap

508
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: or whatever or just denim. Okay, does not matter. That's

509
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: luxury versus you know, mod materials, the design, tailoring, the

510
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: customization of a home towards your life. That is what

511
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 2: matters most. That's what makes all the difference. All right.

512
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 2: I just thought I would just throw in my little

513
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: bit so you understand what we're all about here, helping

514
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 2: you along towards that path. Let's go back to the phones,

515
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: shall we. I want to talk to Arosa Rosa. Welcome home.

516
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 8: Good oh, good morning. So I am interested in installing

517
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 8: I guess a gray water system where like from your

518
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 8: washing machine or thinks that the water will go out

519
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 8: to the garden. I don't think you've ever talked about that,

520
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 8: and I'd like some support on how to do that.

521
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 2: Well. I have talked about it, but not recently, that's

522
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: for sure. And so I'm glad you brought it up

523
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 2: because it is a thing now. It can be a

524
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: little tricky depending on the low location. So let me

525
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: just set the stage gray water. People who own r

526
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: v's are more, far more likely to understand gray water

527
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 2: versus blackwater than just a regular homeowner. So sometimes we

528
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: say gray water and people are like, what what do

529
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 2: you what are you talking about? So in the in

530
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:24,239
Speaker 2: the world of building and plumbing, uh, there are you know,

531
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: there are three different waters. There's pottable water, that's your

532
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 2: fresh water supply that comes into the house. Okay, there

533
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 2: is a gray water. Gray water is the well, let's

534
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: jump to black there's blackwater. Blackwater is what we you know,

535
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: the the sewage. Okay, it's what is happening with the toilets.

536
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 2: It's it's the lines that are connected and have to

537
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: be by code, connected directly to the sewer lines with

538
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 2: human waste and food wastes and so on. That is

539
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 2: sewer lines heading out. Now most homes have all of

540
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 2: their drains connected to the sewer lines, but the code allows.

541
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 2: The twenty first century building code allows for a distinction

542
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: between black water and what we call gray water. Gray

543
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 2: water is far less harmless water than sewage. Gray Water

544
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 2: comes from like a bathroom sink in which there is

545
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: no human waste going down the bathroom sink, nor are

546
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: there food wastes going down the bathroom sink. Same is

547
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: true for shower drains, same is true for laundry drains.

548
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: In fact, gray water is a designation for any drain

549
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 2: any in anywhere in the house that isn't a toilet

550
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 2: or a kitchen like sink in which you know, food

551
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 2: waste could potentially go down. So the kitchen sink is

552
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: definitely out that has to stay connected to the sewer system.

553
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: But and any other sink that handles food and macerates

554
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 2: and you know, like through a garbage disposal, that kind

555
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,719
Speaker 2: of thing has to stay connected. But everything else in

556
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: theory can be distributed not into the sewer system, but

557
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: out into the yard, not for pottibility, not for drinking,

558
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 2: but for irrigation, for watering the garden, for you know,

559
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 2: allowing it to go back into the earth on your property,

560
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 2: to irrigate, to grow plants, and to be filtered out

561
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: through the soil. So with that set up, my friend,

562
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 2: we're going to go to a break, and when we

563
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: come back, you hold on through the break, we'll talk

564
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 2: about what it might take to convert you know, all

565
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 2: or some of your drain lines to a gray water

566
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: system easier said than done sometimes and other times not

567
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: too tough at all. And there are some requirements for

568
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 2: it as well. We'll talk about it right on the

569
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: other side. If you can hang tight, Rosa, thank you. Okay,

570
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 2: you hang on, and we will come back and we'll

571
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 2: talk about a very very interesting subject, something that's actually

572
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: very near and dear to my heart. Up next, more

573
