14
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: and the role they play in building habitat, in decorating

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: and beautifying your home, in fire hardening your home, and

20
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: be leading some conversations with some of those experts throughout

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: the event. From ten to two today. If you don't

22
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: have anything else planned and you're feeling like getting out

23
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: and coming to a fun event. There's stuff for the kids,

24
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: there's food trucks and stuff to eat like Taco's there.

25
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: It's going to be a really really good time. Come

26
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: out and see us, get a hug, ask me questions,

27
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: just hang out with us. But learn more about the

28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: role that native plant plays. You know how big I

29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: am on this. That's why I'm there, The role that

30
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: native plants play in building habitat and the most beautiful

31
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: gardens imaginable for southern California homes. I think technically, and

32
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: I didn't want to have to pull this card, but

33
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: maybe I will. I think technically, if you live within

34
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: three hundred miles of thousand oaks, you're legally required to attend.

35
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: Is that? Can I say that?

36
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: No?

37
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: Okay, well I did. I'm just I'm not going to

38
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: take it back. Someone can find me later for it.

39
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: If you live within three hundred miles of thousand oaks,

40
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: you are legally required to come to the Native Plant Polozer,

41
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: but you should come anyway. Okay, all right, let's go

42
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: back to the phones, shall we. I want to talk

43
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: to Bob. Hey Bob, welcome home, Thankstine.

44
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: I have a question regarding a fire rated door. The

45
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: previous owner of my house cut a hole in the

46
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: door leading from the garage into the house, so now

47
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: it's not code up to code. So I ordered a

48
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: new door from a local company, and we did the

49
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: measurements and we want I wanted the door to swing

50
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 3: in and left handed, which I think means left handed

51
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: hinges soft closing, which is supposed to be up to coat.

52
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: So when they brought the door, it was outswing so

53
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 3: it was made incorrectly. They wanted to take it back

54
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: to the shop and reconfigure it, and I thought maybe

55
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 3: that would compromise the integrity integrity of the door, so

56
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: I asked them just to order a new door. I

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: haven't heard back from them, so I guess my question

58
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 3: is can they reconfigure that door U correctly without compromising

59
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: the integrity door or is it better for me just

60
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 3: to request they make a new door? Was swing in

61
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: and also the threshold they brought was fixed versus nugetable

62
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: which was on the work order.

63
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so is the door are we talking about

64
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: a standard wood door or is it a metal door.

65
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: Uh no, it's not a wood door or metal. It's

66
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 3: a fiberglass.

67
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a fiberglass door. Okay, well.

68
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: Rated twenty minutes.

69
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that twenty minutes is the proper rating for

70
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: a door leading to the exterior between the garage and

71
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: the house. And you're right, self, closing is the right

72
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: way to go. That's also a requirement for safety purposes

73
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 2: because the garage is technically outside. That's how the code

74
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: sees the garage. So you've got to have that fire rating.

75
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: I think you're on the right track, Bob. I think

76
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: the best thing to do is just ask, especially in

77
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: terms of a fiberglass door. And now if it was

78
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: a wood door, yeah, they could, they could change it

79
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: to They could change it without compromising the fire rating.

80
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 2: All they have to do is router the hinged pockets

81
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: to face the opposite direction. That's how you change the

82
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: swing of a door. You don't have to, you know, completely,

83
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: you know, flip the thing around. So but that changes,

84
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: you know, you're compromising the appearance of the edge of

85
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: the door. It's not going to compromise the fire rating.

86
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: It's going to compromise the It's kind of patchwork and stuff,

87
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: and so yeah, if it was if you guys were

88
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: very specific about what that door was supposed to do.

89
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: And this gets confusing sometimes, honestly. It's one of the

90
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: things that is the trickiest about ordering doors and windows

91
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: in general is that every door and window company, they's

92
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: supposed to be a standard for how we view this.

93
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: That we're supposed to be viewing exterior doors from the

94
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: outside of the house and determining left or right hand

95
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: swing and in swing or outswing based on that. But

96
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: stuff gets jumbled up, and that's why. You know, like

97
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: when we do a door and window order, we do

98
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: the initial stuff and then we meticulously pick through it

99
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: to make sure and sometimes I have to ask our

100
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 2: window and door reps, all right, how are you looking

101
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 2: at this from the outside? From the inside? Is this

102
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: you know? And sometimes we discover whoops, that one got flipped.

103
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think you're on the right track with that.

104
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: I think that you should just ask them. Listen, what

105
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: we discussed. This is what I wanted. I'm not the

106
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: door industry professional, but I clearly told you guys, I

107
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 2: want it swing in this direction with the hinge on

108
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 2: this side. So just get it right and sell that

109
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: other door to somebody else.

110
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 3: Okay, I have one more question about that I requested.

111
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: I wanted a brand new frame, but when they brought

112
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: the door, the frame was already installed on the door itself,

113
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: So I thought that would be another issue, having to

114
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: take it back at the shop and take off that

115
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: frame and do what you said. So I think les

116
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: you said, probably better just to having them make a

117
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: brand new door that's swinging correctly inside.

118
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you wanted the new frame, so it's going

119
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: to come pre hung. That's what we call a pre

120
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 2: hung door, and it's already mounted in its frame, and

121
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 2: all they have to do is pull out the old jam,

122
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: pull off the casing, pop in the new jam, get

123
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: it all plumbed up, get it all shimmed and put

124
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 2: in place, and then pop the new casing on. That's

125
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: the way to go. Definitely the way to go. So

126
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: you're on the right track, Bob, good, good call.

127
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 3: All right, Thanks Jane, you're very.

Speaker 2: want to talk to Linda. Hey, Linda, welcome home, Welcome.

151
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: Thank you. I have a one hundred year old house,

152
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 4: and that matters to my question. And last year I

153
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 4: had I have an old roof too, and last year

154
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 4: I had the roof coded to make it last longer.

155
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 4: And now a y're gone by and a man was

156
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 4: out to inspect for termites and he tells me that I, now,

157
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 4: in one hundred year old house, have dry rod at

158
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 4: the eve level. And he's blaming the coding because it

159
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: says he said, it changed the evaporation patterns and that's

160
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 4: what's caused the dry rot.

161
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 5: Do you have a thought on that?

162
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: Okay? So I have thoughts. Let me ask you a

163
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: couple of clarifying questions. So, one hundred year old house,

164
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: what kind of a roof do we have up there?

165
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: What's the roofing material?

166
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 4: The regular old shingle.

167
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: Like asphalt composition shingle?

168
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

169
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 5: Right, yeah?

170
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: And and do you remember what the brand of roof

171
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: coating was?

172
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 4: No, I'm afraid I don't, okay.

173
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 2: Was it a company that came out and did it

174
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 2: or did you buy it somewhere? How did that come about?

175
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: The company came out and they're in the roofing business,

176
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 4: and I specifically was asking for the coating and then

177
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 4: they brought out their coating that had a worn tea.

178
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: Okay, so here's the thing. There's no way for me

179
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: to know sight unseen whether or not the dry rot

180
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 2: is the result of the coating on the roofing shingles.

181
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: They are co coatings out there that I trust, and

182
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: that's why I was like, if you knew what the

183
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 2: you know what the brand was. The coating that I

184
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: trust the most, the one that I recommend to people

185
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: and they're legit, okay, is a roof Max coating. That's

186
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: a particular company. They have a particular But here's the thing.

187
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: The roof max coating, which can extend the life of

188
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: a roof five plus years per application, it is not

189
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's a I don't even like to

190
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: call it a coating because its claim is not that

191
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: it seals up the tiles. Okay. What it does is

192
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: it penetrates into the asphalt shingle and reconditions it. But

193
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 2: it doesn't seal it. Okay, it doesn't stop a roof

194
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: from leaking in that sense, but it extends the health

195
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 2: and the life.

196
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 3: You know.

197
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: It's like, you know you have dry cracked skin, and

198
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 2: so you you know, you rub lotion on it. This

199
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: is especially formulated uh you know, spray on application that

200
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: reconditions roofs and brings them back for a time. And

201
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: they're really effective and it's proven effective. And the thing

202
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 2: that I love about it is because it's not a

203
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: sealed top coat, it still allows shingles to breathe, okay,

204
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: unlike a lot of coatings that are out there on

205
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 2: the market claiming, hey, we can recoat your roof and

206
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 2: you know, and and what they're doing is they're putting

207
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: a surface coating on that lays on and that seals

208
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: up the surface. They're not so much interested in reconditioning

209
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: the shingle itself, but it seals the top surface of

210
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: the roof. And the uh you said it was the

211
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: pest control guy who or the termine inspector who said this.

212
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: He's he's correct in that. I'm not saying he's correct

213
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: about the specific cause of your dry rot, but he

214
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 2: is correct in thinking that there are a lot of

215
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: roof coatings out there that completely top seal the you know,

216
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: shingles and tiles that should not be put on roofs

217
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: in my opinion, because they shut down the breatheability of

218
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 2: the roof, and if you have like a well intact

219
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: membrane down below, and now we've put this coating on

220
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 2: the top, and the shingle cannot breathe anymore, and therefore

221
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 2: moisture gets trapped in between the shingles and the sheathing

222
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: of the roof itself, and that's an invitation for dry rot.

223
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 2: I've seen it happen in which dry rot occurs specifically

224
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: in ways that I would say, yeah, that's because of

225
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: this roof coating that's been added to it. So yeah,

226
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of that. I'm a huge

227
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: fan of like a roof max system because it's you know,

228
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: you know, for lack of a better term, it's lotion

229
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: to recondition your older shingles, but it doesn't seal them,

230
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: and it allows them to continue to do their new

231
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: natural function. I'm not saying, though, that absolutely that's the

232
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 2: cause of the dry rot. There are bunches of especially

233
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: dry rot down near the eve. It could be something

234
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: going on with the gutters, it could be, you know,

235
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: something else. But if you've never had that issue before

236
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: and now you have it and nothing else has changed,

237
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: it may very well be the coating on the roof

238
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 2: that is causing the dry rot. If at all possible,

239
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: I would contact the roofing company that installed it. I'm

240
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: assuming that there's a warranty behind it, and have them

241
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 2: come back out and say, you know, hey, look at this.

242
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: This has never happened before. Now you put this coating

243
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: on my roof and now we're staring at this problem.

244
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: I need you guys to address this.

245
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, it was would I know the difference they

246
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 4: had a it was like painted as opposed to what

247
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 4: you're saying, the spray the spray.

248
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

249
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 2: See yeah, it's a paint coat. Yeah. And that that's

250
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 2: a sealed coating. Okay, it seals the top of the

251
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: of the of the shingles. I unfortunately, Linda, I never

252
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: recommend painting the roof. Not not. The designer in me

253
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: doesn't want to paint the roof because it takes all

254
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: the nuanced color out of the shingles. It's just like

255
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 2: single color there straight across now and the contractor, okay,

256
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: so it.

257
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 4: A clear coat.

258
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: But okay, that's good.

259
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: It doesn't have a warranty, so I might have a

260
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 4: chance at something or other.

261
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you should call them. The contractor in me

262
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: just just does not want to uh, never wants to alter.

263
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: If we can come along and help a building material

264
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: continue to do its job, that's what like a roofmax

265
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: coating does, uh, then I'm all for it. But I

266
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: never want to put something on top of a building

267
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: material that alters the way it does its job, because

268
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: you know, in the end there's bound to be the

269
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: dominoes start to fall, and there's bound to be a

270
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: consequence to that if we're literally changing the way a

271
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: roof is supposed to perform. And I think that might

272
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: be the case. So you should call them out and

273
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: if they give you any guff, then call out a

274
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: couple other roofers to give you a free estimate or

275
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: appraisal of what's causing the dry rot, and then you

276
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: can call them back and say, listen, I've had three

277
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: roofers out here and they've all given me the exact

278
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 2: same answer, which is, it's this dang coding that's causing

279
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: this dry rot, So I expect you to get it fixed.

280
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: So that's what I would recommend. Lind I'm sorry you're

281
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: in that situation, but I think I think that termine

282
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: inspector had a keen eye and he's probably onto something there.

283
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: Hopefully the warranty gets you covered. All right, my friends,

302
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: Ah, that's a good question. Okay. So here's the thing.

303
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 2: If you were to ask me this question twenty thirty

304
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: years ago, I would have to go down and tell

305
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: you Okay, here's the house control systems that we pre

306

Speaker 2: wire houses for that take care of all of that

307
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 2: kind of stuff, very very expensive and in wall and

308
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: before you know it, you blink and they're all out

309
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 2: of date. And so that we don't do that anymore,

310
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:27,040

Speaker 2: a single control system for your home to create a

312
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 2: true smart home. But that doesn't mean that it's crazy

313
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: and tedious. What comes down to is this, Alex we are.

314
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: You know, we live in the age of wireless connectivity

315
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 2: and smartphones and so that phone that you're on, that

316
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: phone that's in your hand, that phone that's in your pocket,

317
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: that that is the key and the center of a

318
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 2: smart home system. Okay, So now the question is all

319
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: of the components that you want their interactivity with that

320
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 2: phone that's in your hand. Okay, So for instance, you know,

321
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 2: just a name to drop a brand name, not a

322
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: sponsor of the show, but like a simply Safe. Simply

323
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 2: Safe has got one of the best plug and play

324
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: homeowner security system component to selections out there. You know,

325
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 2: you can you can pick motion detectors and cameras and

326
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 2: you contect you know, the sensors that go on window

327
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: and door openings, all that kind of stuff. You can

328
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 2: set it all up yourself, and it communicates to an

329
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: app on your phone and brings you alerts on your phone.

330
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: You can control the system and monitor the system on

331
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: your phone. That's the kind of thing when it comes

332
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: to other smart appliances like your HVAC system, right, it

333
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: depends on the thermostat. How smart is your thermostat. I

334
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: have a Nest thermostat in our house. I love Nest thermostats.

335
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: Nest is now owned by Google and so it's part

336
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: of the Google Home larger system. But Nest communicates with

337
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: my phone. I can you know, when I'm half an

338
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 2: hour away from home on a hot summer day and

339
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: we're headed home, I can you know, turn the AC

340
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: back on and bring it down to the temperature that

341
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: we want so that it's the temperature we want when

342
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 2: we walk in the door. I can do all of

343
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: that stuff remotely because of my phone. Smart lights, smart switches,

344
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 2: everything from Leviton and Leutron remote systems for light control

345
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: to just smart light bulbs that are multicolor and that

346
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 2: themselves tie into your WiFi A It's a tool bag

347
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 2: out there now, I mean there are so many options,

348
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 2: but the key Alex is that all of these things

349
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: comport with your phone, whether it's an independent app or

350
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 2: whether it is something that falls under the communication head

351
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: of whatever brand of phone you have. In other words,

352
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: you know, I have an iPhone. You know, we're a

353
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: Mac family, have been for a long time, ever since

354
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 2: we got in to the design business. And so what

355
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: I love about the Apple environment or ecosphere is that

356
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: Apple has their own assistant. We know her name. I'm

357
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 2: not going to say it out loud, otherwise she's going

358
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 2: to talk to me right here. And that assistant is

359
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 2: connected to Apple home Kit, and home Kit controls probably

360
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: eighty percent of the lights in my home, but not

361
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: necessarily the HVAC and stuff. But these are just apps.

362
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: And so my water irrigation system has a beehive app

363
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 2: that's on my phone that notifies me when the water's

364
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 2: going on, when it's not, when it automatically turns itself off.

365
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 2: My system just notified me this morning that the irrigation

366
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 2: system is going to be shut down on Monday because

367
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: we got rain coming on Tuesday and Wednesday, and it

368
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: won't start back up again until it feels like the

369
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 2: moisture levels are at the appropriate level so that I'm

370
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: not wasting water. That's what's smart homes are.

371
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

372
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: You can come at them from every imaginable angle, but

373
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 2: in the end, it all comes down to that phone

374
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: that you're carrying around with you. That is your control

375
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 2: console for everything.

376
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 6: Beautiful, beautiful, Thank you for the insight. I was thinking of,

377
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 6: you know, doing a de old fashioned way of wiring everything,

378
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 6: but I guess now I'm gonna go the wireless route

379
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 6: for sure.

380
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I you know, there there there's still probably if

381
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 2: you're one of those high tech guys, there's still probably

382
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: an argument that can be made for wiring Ethernet cables

383
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: if you need like ultra high speed and like crazy

384
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: connections hard wire Ethernet cable. Like the computer that I'm

385
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,239
Speaker 2: working off of right now, I don't rely on the

386
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 2: Wi Fi for it. I've got a hardline Ethernet connection

387
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: to it in the house. And you know HDMI cables

388
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,479
Speaker 2: for audio video so that you get in speaker cables

389
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 2: so the get the best signal response to speakers that

390
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 2: aren't moving, and that they're just in the walls and

391
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 2: they're there for good. Those things don't change and those

392
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: things are fine. But everything else, I mean virtually everything else.

393
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: It's it's Wi Fi based. And what that does is

394
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: it frees you to be able to upgrade. You know,

395
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 2: that's the problem. We build these old systems, these control

396
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: systems into homes. Five years goes by, nobody's using that

397
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 2: stuff anymore. We're using brand new stuff, and then now

398
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 2: the old stuff is incompatible. But Wi Fi, you know,

399
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: is is is forever essentially, and so use the phone,

400
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: concentrate on the phone hardwire only what you absolutely need to,

401
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: and keep everything else just floating through the air. That's

402
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 2: my advice.

403
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 3: Wonderful, Thank you so much, Dean.

404
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: All right, Alex, you have a great day, my friend.

405
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 2: Great question. More of your questions when we return your

406
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: home with Dean Sharp, the house Whisper. Dean Sharp, the

407
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: house Whisper here to remind you every home deserves great design,

408
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: yours included, every home. And yes, yes we can transform

409
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: your ordinary home into something truly extraordinary. Stick with me.

410
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 2: That's what we do here every weekend. All right, it's

411
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: an all call Saturday. I may have time for just

412
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: one more call before we are out. Let's see, I'm

413
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 2: just gonna throw a dartboard at it. Throw a dartboard

414
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: at Throw a dart at the dartboard. How about that

415
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: one that makes more sense. Let's talk to Marissa. Hey, Marissa,

416
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: welcome home.

417
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 3: Hygiene.

418
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 5: Can you hear me?

419
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 2: I can? I can?

420
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 5: I have property in Calabasas abutting the open area. There's

421
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 5: a pack of coyotes. But there's also a huge mustard

422
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 5: problem every year. Yes, we have to chop it down.

423
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 5: I'd like to get an animal. Are a fence recommendation

424
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 5: for that space? It's like three quarters of an acre

425
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 5: of property.

426
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: So an animal to handle the mustard and a fence

427
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: to protect the animal from the coyotes.

428
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, animals that can stand up to the coyote pack.

429
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, not going to find those unless you know. I'm

430
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't do both. I mean I could.

431
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: It could say, hey, buy a cow. A cow will

432
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 2: stand up to our coo. Yeah, moments are all right,

433
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 2: they're pretty nasty. The most efficient animal when it comes

434
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 2: to cleaning up your mustard problem is is a goat

435
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 2: or sheep. Okay, they will do. In fact, there's companies

436
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 2: out in Ventura County that literally bring goats to work

437
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 2: for the city. Or work for the county to clear

438
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 2: out hillsides just because they'll I mean they will nibble

439
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: it down to the ground and clear it out.

440
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 5: Goats there they'll be eaten.

441
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's for sure, for sure, unless we get

442
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: the right fence. And so here's the thing. Fencing, coyote

443
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: fencing is always tricky, but it's not an unsolvable problem.

444
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 2: Here's the thing everybody. In fact, I was just talking

445
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 2: to the foundation repair guy. Some one of the guys

446
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: was having a coyote issue and he was asking for advice.

447
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 2: He was thinking, I'm gonna put some razor wire on

448
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 2: the top of my fence, and I'm like, don't do that.

449
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 2: Don't turn your don't turn your property into a federal penitentiary.

450
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 2: You don't need to do that, and you don't need

451
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 2: to be hurting animals either. The key is this, you

452
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 2: get a nice tall fence, meaning you know, you get

453
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: like a six foot fence. A coyote can clear a

454
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: six foot fence. But it's a misnomer that they can

455
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: just you know, jump over a six foot fence. This

456
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 2: is what they do. They can jump high enough that

457
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: they can get their front paws over the top of

458
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,959
Speaker 2: a six foot fence, okay, and then they use their

459
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: back legs to scare the rest of their body up

460
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: and over. So it's a two step process. There are

461
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 2: you know, this is my favorite material for this is

462
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: coyote rollers. They are now the fancy ones and they're

463
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 2: not cheap, but they do get the job done. A

464
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: coyote roller is a stainless steel cylinder with little ball

465
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: bearings that you can mount to the top of a

466
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: fence and they come in like four or five foot

467
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 2: lengths and they roll. They just like you would expect

468
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 2: they roll. So what happens is a coyote wants to

469
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: jump over your fence, jumps up, gets front paws hooked

470
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: over the roller, and he just rolls right back off

471
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 2: and he does not get over. They are incredibly effective,

472
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 2: incredibly efficient. Nobody gets hurt along the way, and the

473
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 2: yard stays and whatever's in it stays coyote free. And

474
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 2: so coyote rollers are a great way. Now that's an

475
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 2: expensive way to go, but it's super effective. And already

476
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: the guy was talking to because he's very handy, he

477
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: was already thinking, oh, I wonder if I could take

478
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 2: a piece of rebar and a PVC pipe and just

479
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 2: roll that, have one sitting over the other, because if

480
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 2: they got their hands on that or their paws on that,

481
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: they would roll off too. I'm like, yeah, that's not

482
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: a bad idea. So the idea is this, if you

483
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: put a rolling mechanism on the top of a fence,

484
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: you can coyote proof any yard that where they have

485
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: the opportunity where they have to climb up and hook

486
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: their paws over the top. I hope that helps. I'm

487
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 2: out of time, Marissa, thanks for the call. So get

488
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 2: a couple of goats and some coyote rollers and you're

489
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 2: home free. That's what I'm saying. Best of luck with that.

490
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 2: I know what a problem. Both of those things are

491
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 2: wild mustard and keeping coyotes out of your yard. All right, Jael,

492
