1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty. You're listening to Dean Sharp, the 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: House Whisper on demand on the Ihearted Radio app here 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,120 Speaker 1: to let you know, to encourage you to patiently answer 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: your questions, but also to inspire and inform you that 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: every house, every house has a path forward. It's about 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: finding it. And once you see it, once you see 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: its unique path, that is when everything changes. That is 8 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: when an ordinary house has the chance of becoming an 9 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: extraordinary home. Today on the show, we're taking a look 10 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: at the best of the International Builder Show, which just 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: wrapped up here in Orlando this last week. And I've 12 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: got more for you, more than I'm going to be 13 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: able to cover. So I'm going to dive back in 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: to this stuff now. I've been teasing this for a 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: couple of segments now, so I need I need to 16 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: pay up. Burn guard burn guard. Okay, it just sounds exactly, 17 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: It spells exactly how it sounds. Go check this out. 18 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: Burn guard osb OSB is something that I find that 19 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: people are still not entirely familiar with. By that term, 20 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: You know the stuff that I'm talking about. Think of plywood, okay, 21 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: but it's the plywood that is made up of particles 22 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: of chips overlaid on top of each other, small wood chips. Okay, 23 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: it's OSB stands for oscillated strand board, right, it is 24 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: modern day plywood. Now, plywood is still out there, but 25 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: the plywood is not what we typically use these days 26 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 1: for either roof sheathing to go up on the roof 27 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: or the sides the walls of homes. Plywood these days 28 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: has been relegated more towards custom furniture, hardwood, flooring, engineered 29 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. In that regard, OSB is the most 30 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: common sheathing material out there for the modern home. And 31 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: now OSB that has been treated in such a way 32 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: that it is this eventually fireproof. Where we say fire 33 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: resistant because you know there's always a flame somewhere that 34 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: can eventually burn through it. But fire resistant sheathing, okay, 35 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: how significant is that? Especially if you live in California? 36 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: Fire resistant sheathing wrapping around the outside of your house. 37 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: So that new remodel that you're doing, why not wrap 38 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: that section at least in fire resistant OSB burn guard. 39 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: It simply means it's another layer of fire hardening without 40 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: doing some extreme thing like oh, maybe we'll just build 41 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: our home out of cement. Okay, there are ways, There 42 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: are always ways. You just give it time and these 43 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: innovations are out there, so I'll let you go and 44 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: check that out. Burn guard OSB. Now here's something. It's 45 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: a weird process and there are different ways of achieving this, 46 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: but I just want you to understand from a decor 47 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: this is from a decore perspective. Do yourself a favor 48 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: and check out Flex Marble. I don't know, I haven't 49 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: even discussed us with Tina yet. Flex Marble by Dunya 50 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: d u n y a Dunya. I know, I'm assuming 51 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: it's somebody's name instead of like Dunya. Okay, uh don 52 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: your Home Designs has innovated a process and here's what 53 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: it is. Essentially, we're gonna take actual one real marble dust, okay, 54 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,839 Speaker 1: and we are going to lay that marble dust out 55 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: onto a flexible fiberglass kind of backing okay, and then 56 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna print that fiberglass. I mean, we're gonna print 57 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: that marble dust out at about three millimeters thick. That's 58 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: that's less than a quarter of an inch thick material, okay. 59 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: And then through a proprietary price, we're going to take 60 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: whatever your favorite marble veining pattern is, whatever your favorite 61 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: colors are, whatever your favorite whatever it is, Okay, and 62 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: we're going to print. We're going to colorize that marble dust. Okay. 63 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: Now where does it fall short of full thick slab marble? 64 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: Well full. The way that marble radiates out into a room, 65 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: as you know, Tina, is because of all that crystaline structure. 66 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: Light gets way in there and it comes way back out, okay, 67 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: and it kind of glows and it actually does sort 68 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: of glow. Right, So that's if you've got three quarter 69 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: inch thick marble, and in this case we're three millimeters thick. 70 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: So does it glow as much? No, not as much, 71 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: but but does it glow more? Because it's actual real 72 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: marble dust being imprinted with these colors, does it glow 73 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: more than just a photograph of marble because some people 74 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: might think, well and just photograph the marble. No, No, 75 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: this is high res printing. Okay, it's real marble. It's 76 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: one authentic marble in whatever pattern, which also means that 77 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: we can book match it, we can create, we can 78 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: embed other images in it along the way. But here 79 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: it is and also at three millimeters thick. The backing 80 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: is translucent, so it can be backlit as well. But 81 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: the main thing is this stuff is lightweight and flexible. 82 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: So could this be used as a backsplash? Absolutely it could, 83 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: Okay if it has a solid backing and it's sheet goods. 84 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: It's sheet goods that glues up against the wall. Could 85 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: you put this on a radius, a curved wall in 86 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: a home. Absolutely. It bends, it flexes, it cuts. It 87 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: cuts with a knife, not with a blade, not with 88 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: a fabricator's blade. It cuts with a knife. This is 89 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: really kind of extraordinary stuff, and this is not the 90 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: only version of it, but it's a real thing. Flex 91 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: Marble by Dunya Home Design. So if you're looking for that, oh, 92 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: let's say we wanted and the sheets are huge, by 93 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: the way, Okay, so it's like, oh, we want to 94 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: make a whole wall of marble in this one side 95 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: of this one room. And obviously we're not going to 96 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: make the client pay for a wall oh marble, but 97 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: they can afford a wall of flex Marble and get 98 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: maybe ninety five percent of the overall effect. Plenty plenty good. 99 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: Real stuff feels like marble, looks like marble. Because it 100 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: is marble. Okay, it won't be as cold to touch 101 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: as marble because it's only three millimeters thick, but it 102 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: has those qualities. It's definitely, definitely we're checking out. Okay, 103 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: where do we go from here? Why don't we talk 104 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: about attic space. Some people have enough attic space that 105 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: they want to make it habitable. But you know what, 106 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: the problem with a habitable attic space is no windows. 107 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: Best besto. If the roof is steep enough, you could 108 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: put a skylight. What if you could put a skylight 109 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: in that opens like a window and automatically creates its 110 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: own balcony. What we'll talk about that. On the other 111 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: side your Home with Dean Sharp the House Whisper. 112 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 113 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty. 114 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: We're talking about the best of the International Builders Show 115 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six that just wrapped up in Orlando this 116 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: last week here, and we've got all the latest and 117 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: greatest hot off the press. Eighteen hundred vendors, hundreds of 118 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: thousands in attendance, and so lot of activity there. Every year, 119 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: largest builder show of its residential build show on the 120 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: planet happens every year from now on, it's going to 121 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: be happening in Vegas. And so every time it's in Vegas, 122 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: Tina and I are there. We've been there years before 123 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: we actually did the show here because it's relevant, it's 124 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: relevant to everything that we do, and it's also relevant 125 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: to you, at least in a fun and interesting way. 126 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: But I try and bring you things that are worth 127 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: noting for those of you who are making certain moves 128 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: on your home. So where do we go from here? 129 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: All right, let me have a very practical conversation with 130 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: you about your contractor and something that has really grown 131 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: in dominance, especially over the last ten years at the 132 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: International Builder Show, and this year was no exception to that. 133 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: I want you to be familiar if you have a 134 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: big project coming up, I want you to be familiar 135 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: with the letters CMS CMS. What does CMS stand for? 136 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: It stands for Construction Management Software. There is a massive 137 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: software section at the Builders Show every year and this 138 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: has only grown and it gets bigger every year. And 139 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: there is a lot of companies with their own CMS 140 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: program out there. Now. These are for builders. It's designed 141 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: to help a builder run their business better. It does 142 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: all sorts of back end things, that has nothing to 143 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: do with you and me. Okay, the back end stuff 144 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: like where your people do they? You know, Construction management 145 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: software helps people you know digitally on their phones, you know, 146 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 1: clock in for their hours, to track hours, to track locations. 147 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: I mean, it just goes on and on and on 148 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: and on. There's all sorts of back end business management stuff. 149 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: So why am I mentioning it to you? I'm mentioning 150 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: it to you because the best CM residential CMS programs. 151 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: Construction Management software has a homeowner interface component to it, 152 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: in which things you can download a portal app when 153 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: your project starts, and your builder is essentially saying, hey, 154 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,599 Speaker 1: I want to increase communication between us. So when you 155 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: get home and you're looking around at today's activities and 156 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: you see something or you have a question of something, 157 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: you just snap a picture of it on your phone 158 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: and you upload it across the portal into the CMS 159 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: portal and your builder is able to respond to you 160 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: back and forth. Now why not just text? Well, because 161 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: the project tracks everything, you can pay your invoices. Through 162 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: the construction Management software, you can have your daily meetings 163 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: and accountability, daily progress reports on what's happening on your job, 164 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: daily events, the builder can send you photographic updates as 165 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:51,239 Speaker 1: to what's going on. In other words, construction management software grossly, 166 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: grossly increases the amount of accountability and communication. Without it 167 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 1: inconveniencing anybody. Without it requires hiring the nine o'clock or 168 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: ten o'clock at night conversation with the contractor, which every 169 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: contractor just loves. By the way, let me tell you, 170 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 1: let me tell you how much we love taking a 171 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: phone call at nine forty five at night because it's 172 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: the first chance that you've had to sit down and 173 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: kind of go over your stuff, and you know, and 174 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: we're the guys that get up at four in the morning, 175 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: all right. So yeah, it's stress reducing, its communication flow, 176 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: its accountability increasing. And so I say all of this 177 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: because as you're vetting a contractor, I believe one of 178 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: the things that you can ask legitimately these days is, oh, 179 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: by the way, do you guys use construction management software? 180 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: Do you have a CMS program that we'll be able 181 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: to log into. Because we love the idea of paying 182 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: our invoices digitally, change orders that need to be approved digitally. 183 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: We love the idea of streamlining the flow of communication 184 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: and accuracy between the contractor and the project and you. 185 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 1: It's that simple. Does that make sense? I hope? So 186 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: construction management software, it's not for you to buy, it's 187 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: for you to ask your contractor. Do you use it? 188 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 1: And it may be it may at times mean the 189 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: difference between choosing one contractor over another, just because you 190 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: want that increased accountability and communication. Okay, what else? Do 191 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,719 Speaker 1: we have a real quick throw in here? Murphy beds again. Man, 192 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: the last decade, Murphy beds and Murphy doors, hidden doors, 193 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: truly hidden doors and hidden beds. Everybody pretty much knows 194 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: what a Murphy bed is. Every year Murphy shows up 195 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: And is there anything like shockingly new to tell you, 196 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: like anti gravity beds or anything. No, no, no, but 197 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: I just want you to know every year Murphy shows 198 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: up at the builder Show and they've got more beautiful, 199 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: more innovative, more brilliant and stuff. The one that I 200 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: focused on this year was it essentially looks like a 201 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: dresser up against the wall and it's got doors and 202 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: it looks like it has doors and drawers. I mean, 203 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: is it is? 204 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 2: You know? It is? 205 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,719 Speaker 1: What's the word I'm looking for? You can't tell the 206 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,599 Speaker 1: difference between it and a regular dresser, except when you 207 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: grab any of those handles and pull the whole front 208 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: panel folds down and there's a big, beautiful, extra long 209 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: single bed right there in the room. It is so 210 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: important to make flex spaces more. On the other side 211 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: your Home with Dean Sharp, the house Whisper. 212 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 213 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty. 214 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: Welcome home, thanks for joining us on the program.

Euro Shield Roofing. I'm going to 229 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: give you the website right now, the euro euro Shield 230 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: Roofing Company. Okay, what are they doing? Well, think of 231 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: a having a slate roof on your home or a 232 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: cedar shingle roof on your home that is has a 233 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: fifty year warranty and is also hurricane proof. Okay. And 234 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: in addition to that, walkable slate roof that's walkable, a 235 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: shingle roof that you can walk on without damaging it 236 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: if you need to get up there. What's the secret. Well, 237 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: these roofs not slate, not actually would shingle, completely fire 238 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: rated and made out of drum roll please, seventy percent 239 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: recycled automobile tires. A rubber roof on your head. Now, 240 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: we've seen other rubberized roof products, but they're usually underlayments. 241 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: This is a decorative roof shingle system and what makes 242 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: it hurricane proof. By the way, even though it looks 243 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: I'm staring at the slate version of this roof and 244 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: it looks like slate laying up there. But here's the thing. 245 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: With a traditional roof, you've got courses of shingles, one 246 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: laid on top of the other, on top of the other, 247 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: on top of it the other. And when it comes 248 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: to asphalt comp shingles, they tend to adhere to each 249 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: other to a certain degree. But you can always like 250 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: shove your fingers up underneath the flap right of the 251 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: one course and get to it. And that's what wind 252 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: can do too. Wind whips underneath those shingles and can 253 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: pop them right off or rip them right off of 254 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,479 Speaker 1: a roof. Heavy winds lift them up at least expose 255 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: the underlayment to more severe water and frost damage and 256 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: all of that kind of stuff. These roofs, even though 257 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: they look like and they are put together in courses right, 258 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: But even though they look like they're just simply overlapping 259 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: laying on each other like a traditional slate or a 260 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: cedar shingle or wood shingle, roof, these courses are actually interlocked. 261 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: The bottom of one course is interlocked into the top 262 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: of the other. Okay, And as a result, once this 263 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: roof is down, it is essentially a single membrane, even 264 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: though it looks like individual shingles, a single membrane across 265 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: the entire there is nothing for the wind to lift 266 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: up Okay, it's entirely locked in place. And this is 267 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: a dang attractive roof. Okay, it comes with ridge shingles, 268 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: It comes with all of the stuff that you would expect. 269 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: Fifty year warranty, fifty five OHO, seventy percent recycled tires. 270 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: It's a recycled roof, so green, good for life on 271 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: planet Earth, good for your home, good for like that 272 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: one time. I mean, there are a lot of reasons 273 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: to now. Nothing I ever recommend to you here on 274 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: the show. I always say this as a caveat. Nothing 275 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: is for everybody and for every situation. But is this 276 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: a product if you're thinking about reroofing your home worthy 277 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: of taking a serious look at? Absolutely I have no doubt. 278 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: I don't have this. I don't know this for absolutely certain, 279 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: but I have no doubt they'll. They'd be happy to 280 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: send you samples or direct you to a dealer where 281 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: you can go and see sample plates of this stuff 282 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: in action. Euroshield Roofing dot com. That was impressive, truly 283 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: truly impressive. Let me throw one more in that I've 284 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: talked about before, Span Span smart electrical panels. You know, 285 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: we talk about smart home, smart home, smart homes, and 286 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: normally we're talking about, oh look, my refrigerator can also 287 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: you know, have the Today Show running on it, Like 288 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: that's a big deal that we all need. This is 289 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: a movement that ultimately will be everybody's Okay, I'm just 290 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: telling you right now. Smart electrical panels. What does that mean. 291 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: It means an electrical panel that actually monitors the electricity 292 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 1: that's flowing through it, that is controlled its breaker system 293 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: is controlled by an app on your phone that you 294 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: can turn off circuits via your phone. But it also 295 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: keeps track of which circuits in the home, which appliances 296 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: in the home are suck up the most energy at 297 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: what time. But even more important than all of this, 298 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,239 Speaker 1: in conjunction with your solar system, your backup batteries. Now, 299 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: when there's a power outage and now you're running on 300 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: backup power or a generator or whatever. Now, without specialized wiring, 301 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: you can simply use your electrical panel to allocate power 302 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: to certain circuits and say, now we're going to shut 303 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: down this circuit in order to make the backup power 304 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: system last as long as possible. Now, how much are 305 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: these panels? They're expensive, Okay, as far as just a 306 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: raw panel is concerned. You know, an electrical panel is 307 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: like three hundred four hundred dollars and one of these 308 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: span panels could be closer to three thousand dollars. Yeah, 309 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: ten times more expensive. However, the energy savings if you're 310 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: conscientious with its use, this panel could pay for itself 311 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: in about five to six years. And if you are 312 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: in need, let's say, of a panel upgrade, because now 313 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: you want to charge an electric vehicle and that usually 314 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: requires a minimum two hundred amp panel for the home. Okay, 315 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: this span panel can reallocate power at night during recharge 316 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: periods in such an efficient way, again shutting down certain 317 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: circuits keeping others active, that you may quite often be 318 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: able to avoid the entire upgrade of your electrical panel 319 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: for your home. In other words, yes, they design this 320 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: panel specifically so that, if at all possible, you could 321 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: avoid the one hundred to two hundred amp upgrade, because 322 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: what was that going to cost you by the time 323 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: you're done with the utility company and the electrician and 324 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: the new panel and all of the labor. Easily three 325 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: to four thousand dollars to upgrade a panel. Okay, and 326 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: this is a wash as far as that goes with 327 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: a smart panel could avoid that and end up paying 328 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: for itself as well. So again expensive now, yes, it 329 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: is just like you know. Electric vehicles were incredibly expensive 330 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: when they first came out, Just like you know, smart 331 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: everything in a home was incredibly expensive. But keep your 332 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: eye on span because it's going to become ubiquitous. I 333 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: cannot imagine a world in which ten to fifteen years 334 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: from now, every new home and major remodel includes a 335 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: smart electrical panel. Just simply the way of things. All right, more, 336 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: when we return your Home with Dean Sharp, the house whispered. 337 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 338 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty. 339 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: Welcome home, Thanks for joining us on the program today. 340 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: Here we are at the end of another three hours. 341 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: I'm not done yet, but man, the time just flies, 342 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: especially when you have a big list of a lot 343 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: of great things to talk about.

Home. I still have some more of the 349 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: best of the International Builders Show. This is going to 350 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: be kind of a lightning round to just move through 351 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: some things. So let's get to it. Here's a series 352 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: of just wonderful little things tools. The Smart Square. If 353 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: you're a di wire or a contractor contractors all the 354 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: way down to di wires, you know what a rafter 355 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: square is, or what we call a speed square, a 356 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: triangular square. They have been an industry standard for us 357 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: for decades upon decades. Smart Square has just taken the 358 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: rafter speed square and reinvented it along with the large 359 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: framing square. And what have they done. 360 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 2: Well. 361 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: One of the things you can't do with a rafter 362 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: square because it has that T shaped lip on it, 363 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: is lay it completely flat and actually draw a line 364 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 1: in ninety degrees on both sides because on one side 365 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: it's lifting up and you know, your pencil could wander 366 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,719 Speaker 1: and get a little inaccurate. But Smart Square has allowed 367 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: that lip to actually fold flush with the rest of 368 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: the square. In addition to that, there's a built in 369 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: three directional bubble to replace the torpedo level or the 370 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: tiny level that you've got. You can measure your nineties 371 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: with it. You can measure your forty five's with it. 372 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: It's a brilliant thing. It's got all the other goodies 373 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: that a speed square has on it, plus an adjustable 374 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: jig lever to it, in which once you've you know, 375 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: because in this business there are a lot of times 376 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: when you make one cut and you need to make 377 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: that exact same cut, you know twenty more times. Homeowners 378 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: experience that as well when they're building their own stuff. 379 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: You can set your square, get it all lined up, 380 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: set the jig, and now your square is set for 381 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: that angle for the rest of your cuts until you 382 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: want to change it anyway. Smart Square, It's brilliant. Simpson 383 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: Hardware Company has made a one hundred dollars attachment that 384 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: turns any screw gun into an auto feed screwgun. So 385 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: again building a deck out front, you don't want to 386 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: be down on your hands and knees loading a screw 387 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: into your screw gun every time all day long. You 388 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: can be standing upright. This thing has an extension about 389 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: three foot extension on it. You can stand upright and 390 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: with a whole clip of screws all together and zip zip, 391 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: zip zip as you go auto feed along. Really cool. 392 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: This one applies to every homeowner whoever has to get 393 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: up on a ladder outside. You know, ladders are great, 394 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: and ladders can be wonderfully built like Little Giant or 395 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: Werner ladders great ladders, but the greatness of a ladder 396 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: ultimately and its safety depends on the levelness of the 397 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: ground that you're setting it on. Well, Werner has come 398 00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: up with their level Safe Pro Ladder leveling ext ensions, 399 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: and these are just little leg extensions that bolt on 400 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: to the bottom of your ladder. It's an add on 401 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: and what it allows is for the legs to extend 402 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: to compensate for unlevel ground. So you take your ladder out, 403 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: you want to get up on the roof, but you've 404 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: got to put your ladder in a planter bed or something, 405 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: and the ground is unlevel, or maybe it's a little 406 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: softer than it was, you know, the other day. So 407 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: you can extend these down and get that ladder secure 408 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 1: on unlevel ground and be safe when you're getting up 409 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: and down on the roof. Boss Hammer has made a 410 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: brand new titanium hammer on the market for those of 411 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: you who do a lot of building. This titanium hammer 412 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: happens to be exactly sixteen inches long, which is the 413 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: layout of a standard stud on a stud wall. Very convenient. 414 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: They have a fourteen and a half inch layout which 415 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: goes in between standard stud bays. But also they've added 416 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: a lot of fun stuff into this hammer. The head 417 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: and the claws square off with each other, so you 418 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: can use the backside of the handle of this titanium 419 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: hammer as a square by just laying it against the thing. 420 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: And there's also protractor angles on it. There's a lot 421 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 1: of brilliant stuff about this hammer. You got to check 422 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: it out. Boss hammer. Here's one thing that oh my gosh. 423 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: We constantly talk here on the show, all right, I 424 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: take questions about concrete with water seeping through it. This 425 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: I'm hoping is going to be a game changer in 426 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: the industry. A company called Rebotech has introduced a waterproof 427 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: concrete additive. Okay, and I tell you all the time 428 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: you get that effluorescence on your concrete and your slab, 429 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: or if there's a pipe leak underneath, or if the 430 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: water table rises, if your contractor hasn't put down the 431 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: right kind of VisQueen or vapor barrier underneath the concrete 432 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: before the poor then water can seep through the slab. 433 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: It can mess up your hardwood floor. It can mess 434 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: up all sorts of things because what concrete is porous 435 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: and water moves through it. Well, not with this additive. 436 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: This stuff demonstrates amazingly tight. Think about this. This is 437 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: the demonstration. The guy took a teaspoon and he scooped 438 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: up a teaspoon of this reebotech powder okay, on a teaspoon, 439 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: and then he put the teaspoon, you know, holding it horizontally. 440 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: He put it down inside this little tank of water. 441 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: So now we're looking at the teaspoon with the powder 442 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: sitting on it underwater, okay, and you would expect it's 443 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: gonna get soaked, it's gonna get muddy, it's gonna cake. Right. 444 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: He left it under there for about thirty seconds, and 445 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: then he pulled it back out and put it in 446 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: front of his face and blew the powder out like 447 00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: baby powder. It was just underwater and it came out 448 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: of the water and it was as powdery as it 449 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: was before it went in. This is a new concrete additive. 450 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: This could be a game changer. Okay, it's not a 451 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: new kind of concrete. It's an additive that can be 452 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: mixed in with concrete to make the slab waterproof in 453 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: and of itself. That's a big deal, big big deal. 454 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: Anything else I can throw at you real quick. Oh, 455 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: here's one little thing, a company called clear Lock. You 456 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: guys know what a shark bite fitting is. Those of 457 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: you who have kind of deyied your own plumbing. Shark 458 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: bite are these revolutionary push connect pipes for copper, for 459 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: PVC and for pecks. The one downside of the shark 460 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: bite is that you never know for absolute sure if 461 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: you've shoved the pipe all the way in far enough. Well, 462 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: these new clear Locks, Tina, they are transparent, and so 463 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: you totally see just how And you know what, any 464 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: shark bite fitting that's had the pipe inserted all the 465 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: way in properly holds forever. And so this is a 466 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: game changer when it comes to DIY plumbing. Look for 467 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: clear Lock transparent shark bite style fittings. I wish I 468 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: had time to tell you so much more, but you know, 469 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: that's a good enough sampling for today. I'm just going 470 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,479 Speaker 1: to leave it at that. And I want to leave 471 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: you with this very simple thought. I was thinking about 472 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: this this week. Anyone living with the fear of suffering 473 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: is already suffering from their fears. You know what, fear 474 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: is just not worth it. It's there to help protect us. Otherwise, 475 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: let it go, all right. It only takes a moment 476 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: to die, it, Lily, only takes a moment to live, 477 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: And that usually has to do with stepping up and 478 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: stepping beyond our fears. Close your eyes, you'll let every 479 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: futile fear slip away. And then you ask yourself, who 480 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: am I and how how could I possibly live? Moving forward? 481 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: And I hope the answer is that you get busy 482 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: building yourself a beautiful life. Everybody, have a great Sunday afternoon, 483 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: have a great week, and we'll see you right back 484 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: here next weekend.
