I thought, 62 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna put on because I pre 63 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: recorded them, and like because I always love to see them, 64 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: all that pomp and circumstance, and I love to see 65 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: how every country kind of handles. Yeah, exactly, so I, 66 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: you know, it was time to get to bed, especially 67 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: to get up and do the early morning show. And 68 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: I'm laying there with my iPad in bed, and I thought, 69 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna just fall asleep. To 70 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: the Olympic ceremonies. Well, I watched the whole three hour thing. 71 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: I just good. They were good. I just kind of 72 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: I really dug it. I really dug it. And and 73 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: you know, Milan is a place that Tina and I 74 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: visited just a couple was it a couple of years ago? 75 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, So it was cool to 76 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: see Milan. It was cool to see just the Italian 77 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: flair of the whole thing. So anyway, Yeah, they did 78 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: a good job with it. They added a lot of art, 79 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: a lot of color, a lot of dance. Yeah, I 80 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: thought it was really neat. I only watched a little 81 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: bit of it. I didn't commit to the full three hours, 82 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: but I thought they did a good job. Well, you know, 83 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: every time the Olympic ceremonies, when they're at their best, 84 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: of course, they do honor to the athletes, they do 85 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: honor to the nations of the world gathering together, there's 86 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: always great messages of peace and harmony. Harmony was one 87 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: of the themes is one of the themes this year, Harmonia, 88 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: And but also there is there is that edge to it, 89 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: which is just honoring the place and celebrating the place 90 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: where you're at. It was a celebration of Italy and 91 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: Italian culture and Italian history, and of course so many 92 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: artists and significant people in music and art. And there 93 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: was this one point during the opening dance in which 94 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: these three tubes of you know, acrylic paint appeared over 95 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: the stage, hanging out over the stage, and then they 96 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: started tipping and pouring out onto the dancers. It was 97 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: this beautiful I don't know how many yards of this beautiful, 98 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: bright colored fabric that was pouring out. It looked like liquid, 99 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: and then the dancers arranged the fabrica as it hit 100 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: the stage into these puddles. I just thought it was 101 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: really artistic and beautiful, beautifully done, really well done, and 102 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: every singer imaginable from Italy, Andrea Picelli was there singing amazing. 103 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it was just great. It just I don't know, 104 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: I don't know I was in the right mood, that's 105 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: for sure, because I didn't end up dozing off, and 106 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: I realized, oh crap, I just cut into my sleep 107 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: by a good three hours. I was hoping to just 108 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: doze off in a few minutes and have lovely dreams 109 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: of the Olympics. But nope, nope, I am fully prepared. 110 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: I am, I am opened. What sport do you and 111 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: Tina like to watch when you are watching the Olympics? 112 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: Is there a sport that you're like, oh, we can't miss, 113 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: you know, the shuffle board or the shuffle the shuffle board. 114 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: We were just talking, you know what. Okay, so this 115 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: is a weird thing. Uh the uh that I maybe 116 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: they've been doing this for a while. I am not sure, 117 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: but when it but I was looking on Peacock. I 118 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: think they're on Peacock that they've got like everything. Peacock 119 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: has every event everything covered this year as a special 120 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: channel or sub channel. But uh, I woke up yesterday 121 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: and I'm like, what, wait, did I miss the opening 122 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: ceremony because there are competitions going on, there are events happening. 123 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: And then I had to look it up and I 124 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: guess just maybe because Milan doesn't have a number of 125 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: different stadiums and Milan and Courtina, so they had to 126 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: get divide it out, and so there's so many events 127 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: to squeeze it into two weeks that some of the 128 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,239 Speaker 1: Olympic events had to start ahead of time, the preliminaries, 129 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: So the Olympics actually were up and running for the 130 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: last three days or four days or so of stuff. 131 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: And so I woke up yesterday morning to curling, that's 132 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: what you were saying, full scale shuffle board with the stones, 133 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: and you know what, I was so into it. I 134 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: was so into it. 135 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 3: I'm telling you, curling is entertaining. They wear fun pants 136 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: that I mean, they have brooms. Yeah, it's probably I've 137 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 3: always wanted to try this sport. There's just not a 138 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: long enough strip like strip of ice in southern California 139 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 3: for me to try it. 140 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one hundred and fifty feet is one hundred 141 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: and fifty feet is the is, the is the court, 142 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, and anyway, and we love we're big, you know, 143 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: because you know Tina's is half Sicilian, so around here, 144 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: last thirty years or so, it's all been about you know. 145 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: Bacci is one of our family's favorite games. And it 146 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: plays very much like Bacci. It scores like Bacci, like 147 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: Italian lawn bowling. Same kind of concept, except in bacci 148 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: the target keeps moving, but very very similar. You put 149 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: English on the ball to get it in there, and 150 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: sometimes you're just trying to finesse it in for a point. 151 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: Other times you're trying to blast out the other team's 152 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: stuff out of the way. Anyway, I just thought it 153 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: was great. And also I was watching hockey, and and 154 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: I was loving hockey because we love hockey. And I 155 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: didn't realize. I was a full period and a half 156 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: into the game before I realized it was women's hockey. 157 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 3: What you didn't know? 158 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: No, I didn't know, And I gotta tell you. I mean, 159 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: I love women's sports, professional women's sports, but you know 160 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: when you're watching a professional women's sports that that there's 161 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: a male version of the sport. You can usually you know, 162 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: you kind of tell right away because you know women 163 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: move a little differently, like in basketball. It's not a 164 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: good or bad thing, it's just that you can just tell. 165 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: Right I am watching a period and a half of 166 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: hockey and I could not tell. They are so fast, 167 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: they are moving so quick, they are checking each other 168 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: against the board so hard.

How is the how's the flooring? 226 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 2: The flooring downstairs is really good. It's it's fake wood, 227 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 2: but it's really nice. Fake would lamit it. The one 228 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 2: upstairs is just laming it. It's pretty bad. 229 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: Okay, I think, uh, you know, all things being equal, 230 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: you know, you know the big projects, you're gonna where 231 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: you do the kitchen, you're gonna read the primary bath, 232 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: and you know the paint's holding fine, and you're just 233 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 1: excited about getting in mount those TVs. Get yourself kind 234 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: of just settled in. But I would say one of 235 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: the things that could happen pretty quickly and that you know, 236 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: significantly changes the whole vibe and feel of the whole 237 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: place is to know that you're on flooring that you 238 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 1: that you that you like, that you really like and 239 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: h and flooring is one of those things that can 240 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, happen pretty quickly. Uh and without necessarily you know, 241 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: breaking the bank. Uh So if the downstairs is groovy 242 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: and you like that, but upstairs you're like, yeah, not 243 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: so much, then maybe take a look at you know, 244 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: what kind of you know, whether it's l VP or 245 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: some kind of lamin it up there, or real wood, 246 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: you know, whatever it is that that rows your boat. 247 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: But you know, there's just you know, we we think 248 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: about it. I said, put it this way. We feel 249 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: flooring more than we think about it. Once it's down, 250 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: it kind of just sets the tone. It's the first 251 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: thing your feet hit in the morning. You know, it's 252 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: there in your field of vision all the time. It's 253 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: a massive surface. It's apart from the paint on the walls, 254 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: there's no larger surface in your home than the flooring. 255 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: And so when it's not you know, when you're not 256 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: loving it, and it's like you got old lamined in 257 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: a room where you've got old carpeting in the place, 258 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: and you're like me, eh, you know, it just kind 259 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: of takes you down a couple of notches.

Hey, Star, welcome home. 311 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 2: Hi. 312 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 4: I really like your show. And I was wondering if 313 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 4: you know of any group or people that can help 314 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 4: with free or low cost plumbing services or like handyman stuff, 315 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 4: but especially plumbing right now, like if I'm low income 316 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 4: and has health problems and like on food stamps and stuff. 317 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 4: I'm in Los Angeles County, in Downey, and I've tried 318 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 4: to find any such thing, but I can't. So I 319 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 4: just wondered if you know of anything. 320 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. Really, I'm not really sure that I 321 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: do know of any of those services. Is I'm sure 322 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: there are people out there who are willing to keep 323 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 1: their rates as low as possible just out of their 324 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: own goodness of their heart. And you know, the only 325 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: thing I could say, Star is I would stay towards 326 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: the the handy person side of things, the handyman side 327 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: of things, because the the handymanned industry tends to have 328 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: lower rates. Handy handymen don't have to be that by 329 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: by definition, to be a handyman in the state of California, 330 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: jobs have to be you know, under five hundred dollars 331 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 1: total for the job. Uh, they don't have to be licensed. 332 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that they're not qualified and know their stuff, 333 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: but because they don't have to carry all that other 334 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: stuff that license contractors have to carry and hassle and 335 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: worry about, uh, they can come in and get things 336 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: done relatively cheaply. I don't know about free. That's something 337 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: that that really I'm not familiar with. And you know what, 338 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: thanks for bringing that up. I'm going to do a 339 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: little research on that and see if there isn't some 340 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: resources that I can pull up for the future here, 341 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: and if I find them, I will definitely talk about 342 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: them here on the show. But I would stick in 343 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: the handy person area, because if you're going to have 344 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: to shell out a little bit of money for some 345 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: repairs or some fixes, then that's going to be your 346 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: least expensive way to go. And you can find those 347 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: kinds of services on You can find some of them 348 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: all on the line. There's actually two or three web 349 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: services that are all about just these one off kind 350 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: of gig economy in the home improvement area. Thumbtack is 351 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: a website that's all about handy people, you know, qualified, 352 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: well rated handy people. Task Rabbit is another place that 353 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: you can go look for that.

That is always, 361 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: you know, relationships and local connections are usually one of 362 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: the best ways of going about doing that. But I'm 363 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: not sure there is an actual if anybody's listening right 364 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: now and you're aware of services in the LA area 365 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: along that line that I'm gonna ask you to give 366 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: me a call and Star, you keep listening, and if 367 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: we come up with anything this morning, I will let 368 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: you know. Did we lose Star? Did we lose her? 369 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 2: Oh? 370 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: We just lost the connection. Okay, all right, I can 371 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: do Star, Thank you? So is she there? 372 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 5: No? 373 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 1: I know she's not on the board now, So I'm 374 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: gonna do as we go to break here, you know what. 375 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna go to break and when we come back, 376 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: we'll take some more of your calls. And while we're 377 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: on the break, I'm gonna do a little snooping around 378 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,479 Speaker 1: and see if I can't help Star out there. You 379 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: are home with Dean Sharp, the house whisper. Dean Sharp, 380 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: the house Whisper here to remind you every home deserves 381 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: great design. Hey, a Star isn't on the line anymore. 382 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: But Star called in. She had some a really poignant, 383 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: great question that I did not have an immediate answer for, 384 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: and that was for folks with the low income situations 385 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 1: and some home repair needs, are there any places to 386 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: call any services out there? And I promised her during 387 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: the break I was gonna do some snooping around here, 388 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: and here's a couple of things that could help significantly. 389 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: One from a nonprofit perspective, Habitat for Humanity. Now, Habitat 390 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: for Humanity, you know, their main push is they're engaged 391 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: in building homes for low income families and such a 392 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: beautiful program. Habitat for Humanity is such a fantastic organization. However, 393 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: they also get involved in rehabbing and repairing homes in 394 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: some cases, and I have no doubt that they've got 395 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: their finger on the pulse of all sorts of low 396 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: income options for homeowners as well. So I would give 397 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: them a call, Habitat for Humanity and give them the 398 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: local you know, chapter in your area. Give them a 399 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: call and just ask their advice on what's going on. Also, 400 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: that's one now from the governmental side of things, and 401 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how much bureaucracy and paperwork and stuff 402 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: that is involved in this. But there's the Handy Worker 403 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: Program in the Los Angeles area. Handy Worker Program does 404 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: a couple of things. It provides free minor home repairs 405 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 1: and accessibility improvements to load of moderate income households and 406 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: seniors with disabilities. So the Handiworker Program in LA that's 407 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: worth looking at. That's run by the Los Angeles Housing 408 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: Department or LAHD. You can go to LA. You just 409 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: look up Handyworker at LAHD dot gov. They also partner 410 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: with licensed general contractors for minor home repairs and for 411 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: home owners who are in need of some critical home repairs. 412 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: The Handy Worker program also has grants for minor home 413 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: repairs between if you qualify between five and nine thousand 414 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: dollars of grants for critical repair and maintenance work that 415 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: has to be done. And so that's a thing as well. 416 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: And what else did I have with those of the two. Yeah, 417 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: it was a habitat for humanity and the Handy Worker 418 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: program that is run through Los Angeles Housing Department. Check 419 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: those out. And please, if you find that there's a 420 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: good avenue through one of those, star you know, shoot 421 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: me an email or give us a call back and 422 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: let us know. I appreciate that and I hope that helps. Okay, 423 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: it is an all calls Saturday morning.

So it's about six years old. The 451 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 5: builder put in a kitchen aid and I had I'm 452 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 5: just not really happy with the noise, with the the 453 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 5: way that the odors still linger after I cook. So 454 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 5: I'm looking to get a new fume hood and wanted 455 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 5: to know what to look for and maybe some recommended 456 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 5: manufacturers you might have. 457 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: Okay, well, there are a lot of good ones out there. 458 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: Let me tell you the story about you know this 459 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: is is I'm assuming this wall that it's on is 460 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: an exterior wall. 461 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 5: No it's not. 462 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: Oh it's not. 463 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 5: It's it actually backs up against the hallway. 464 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: Okay. And do we have an attic space above this. 465 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 2: Yes we do? 466 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 5: Okay, very generous at yes. 467 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: Okay, that's good news. So I'm gonna throw a couple 468 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 1: of maybe unexpected curveballs at you that that might help. Okay. So, okay, 469 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: here's the thing in the world of kitchen hoods. 470 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:57,719 Speaker 2: Uh. 471 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: They tend to get bigger and fancier and more expensive 472 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: all the time. Uh. And as a builder and a designer, 473 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: I will tell you that, generally speaking, what gets pushed 474 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: at you by most builders in kitchen. Hoods is not 475 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: the direction you actually want to go for efficacy of 476 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: the hood. A hood consists of two things. It consists 477 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 1: of the bell okay, or the you know, the actual 478 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 1: hood itself that most people imagine that's the thing that's 479 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: going to capture that smoke. We want it nice and 480 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: big and nice and deep, and because it's going to 481 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: capture the smoke and the fumes coming off of the 482 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: off the stove and you know what, not actually really true. 483 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: The second thing that a hood has is the fan. 484 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: And most hoods that you can buy these days are 485 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: there there hood forward and there are i should say 486 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: bell forward and fan insignificant. They're fan weak. You've got 487 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: fans in them that are two hundred cfm. That's cubic 488 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: feet per minute. That's a rating of how much air 489 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: moves through the fan. Two three four hundred cfm. That's 490 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: just not much of a fan. And here's the thing. 491 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: If you are you know, cooking up the fish on 492 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: the counter on the cook top, or you're searing a steak. 493 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: You know, I know you, Tony, never burn your food. 494 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: I get that. So, but if you're if you're searing 495 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: a good steak, you're going to produce a good amount 496 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,959 Speaker 1: of steam and some smoke on that seer. And you 497 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: know what, even if the hood itself, the hood bell 498 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: itself was twice as big, okay, no hood is big 499 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: enough to capture all of that smoke that's coming off 500 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: of the off the pan. Okay. So when you think 501 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: of in those terms, you're like, yeah, maybe the hood 502 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: isn't so important. What's really important is the fan. And 503 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: in your situation, we could get well, you know what, Okay, 504 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: we're up against a break.

So let's talk 510 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,719 Speaker 1: about that. Right on the other side, don't go anywhere, 511 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: and you don't go anywhere either.
