And and I 107 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: know what my strengths are and being that organized. As 108 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: an athletic director for a high school, you've got to 109 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 1: make sure the bus, I mean, there's so many plates spinning. 110 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: And as a project managers, the same, and I know 111 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: for a fact that I would not be very good at that. 112 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: And I'm wondering for you personally that part of being 113 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,559 Speaker 1: a project manager. You're pretty good at having that many 114 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: plates spinning at the same time. 115 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 3: Well, I don't like to toot my own horn at all, 116 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 3: but yeah, you have to have to be good at 117 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 3: that because you know, in any given project, there's just 118 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 3: a lot of stuff going on at once. 119 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: But I love it. 120 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 3: It's it's a challenge and you know, not everybody can 121 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 3: do it, but then again, not everybody can do what 122 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 3: you do, so we all have our talent. 123 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: I always think, you know, if you need somebody to 124 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: come into the gym and to teach the flex offense 125 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: to the five out or how to play you. 126 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 3: Know, I don't even know what you just said. 127 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: You trust me. I'm your guy, David, I am your guy. 128 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,799 Speaker 1: But when it comes to do with being a project manager, 129 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: and it's very commendable to me to say, hey, listen, 130 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: you could sit back in that corner office as the 131 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: president and CEO of Dimension and say hey, listen, I'm 132 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: gonna have other project managers. But that part of it. 133 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: I love the fact that you're like, look, I'm going 134 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: to keep that part and I'm going to continue to 135 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: wear that hat because I think it's important to see 136 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: a job from start to finish all the way through. 137 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. 138 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: It is, for sure. 139 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 3: It's important to keep the cohesiveness from the design part 140 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 3: to the build part and all the way through. So 141 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 3: it's definitely a little bit like you know, conducting an orchestra. 142 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: Is that your favorite hat? To where do you think 143 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: it is?

And I've told this story one hundred times. David. 167 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: I used to do the PA mentions down there and 168 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: get up and introduce people that are going to speak 169 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: at the Naary Show. And the first year I did that, 170 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: I was walking out when I was done, my shift 171 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: was over, and there was a woman who was walking 172 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: very fast talking to herself, going, oh man, am I 173 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: in trouble? And I started laughing. I said, You're okay. 174 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: She goes my husband. So I was supposed to come over. 175 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: We need windows, that's our need. We need windows. So 176 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: I was to talk to a couple of window people 177 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: and then get back home and get dinner ready. And 178 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: I've been here for three hours. And here's my list 179 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: of the three that these are our needs? Now, let 180 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: me show you our once my wants, and it was 181 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: she was there for three hours. He kept calling saying 182 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: where are you? I thought you were bringing dinner, and 183 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: she just couldn't get out of there. And her list 184 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: of what the wants were is now, she wanted something 185 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: in the kitchen, she wanted a new bath, she wanted this, this, this, this, 186 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: and that's what that show does. And so when Michelle 187 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: put this out how to prepare for the Home Show, 188 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: it just made it made perfect sense for a woman 189 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: like that to say, hey, listen, I just had to 190 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: talk to three window companies to get to get them 191 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: over for a couple of windows we need, but here 192 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: are the ones that I want in our home, and 193 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: we can't afford all of them. But boy, this is 194 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: really a fun place to be. And that's what happens 195 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: when you walk through that show. 196 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and you bring up a great thing for 197 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 3: people to and we go through this with every project. 198 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 3: You know, it's the must haves and the like to 199 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 3: haves if the budget can't afford it. But it's really 200 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 3: important for customers to really break it down that way, 201 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 3: otherwise you know you're gonna get it's going to spin 202 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 3: out of control, and these budgets are just are They're 203 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 3: challenging enough as it is in this current climate, so 204 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 3: it's important to break it up that way. 205 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: Hey, Aaron, you you've kind of gotten to be the 206 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: spokesperson when it comes to getting up on stage and 207 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: talking about creative construction Wisconsin on these shows.

What would 224 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: you have said to me. 225 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 2: I'm not sure I'd believe you. I'm not exactly sure 226 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: what I was junior me. He was thinking, right, I 227 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: was gonna do But you know who really knows. I 228 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 2: definitely would not have guessed this, definitely would not guess 229 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 2: living in Wisconsin being project manager. 230 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: And out kicking your coverage very you know, being very 231 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: just sad. Let's tell you know what. Joined joined my club, Matt, 232 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: join my club. Certainly bingos on the board with me 233 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: married for sure in that club too. But you are 234 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: looking at that, that's awesome. I think it's uh, it's funny. 235 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: When I was a kid in school, I think my 236 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: in grade school, my mom made me go to a 237 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: thing called Toastmasters, which was public speaking, and I think 238 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: it was just a way for her to get me 239 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: out of the house, right, And then I was told 240 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: that people are so deathly afraid of getting up in 241 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: front of people. And you know, in seventh grade, they 242 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: made us get comfortable with that. The nuns over at 243 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: Saint Pruter Paul on the east side of Miwaukee made 244 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: us get up and and and be comfortable in that setting. 245 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: And so I always thought people are get so nervous, 246 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: but they are. It's a really difficult thing for some 247 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: people to get up on stage and talk about comfort. 248 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 2: I mean, the hardest stage I've ever talked on is 249 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 2: when I was right after I graduated high school. I 250 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: took a trip to Australia and ended up having to 251 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 2: give a speech in front of a high school and 252 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 2: there were two thousand kids there, yeah, and a completely 253 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 2: foreign country. And the second y'all came out of my 254 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 2: mouth right the entire the entire auditorium just erupted with laughter. 255 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: After that, I think back to that, and if I 256 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 2: got through that, I can't get through mine. 257 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: Was there anything else? Mine was the Neary Awards banquet. 258 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: That that was the only it was. I'm not a 259 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: good narrator. I'm not bad off the cuff, right, I'm 260 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: not bad doing the NBA Show, where I get to 261 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: get up and just tell some stories and then introduce people. 262 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: But the Narrow Show was seventy five pages of narration 263 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: and it was I It was brutal, it was horrible. 264 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: I was as good as that as I was being 265 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: the general manager for the indoor soccer team in Chicago, 266 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: which is really bad. I thought, Man, I've got to 267 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: be close to the end of this thing. I was 268 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: on page seven seven. It's seventy five pages. So that 269 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: was that was the worst. Are you comfortable in that setting, David? 270 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: Are you able to get up and speak? 271 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: I used not to at all, like I but over 272 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 3: the years I've done some radio shows like this and 273 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 3: now as a Nary president. I got up and you know, 274 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 3: you were talking about the awards banquet that we just had. 275 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 3: So I had to get up and not do seventy 276 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 3: five pages worth, but I had to do my fair share. 277 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 3: And yeah, it really I don't. I guess I'm too 278 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 3: old to care anymore. It's kind of how I put 279 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 3: it, It's like, if you know, I screw something up, so 280 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 3: what So it's probably more of an age thing than 281 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 3: anything else. 282 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: Well, they used to be doing the Niry thing and 283 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: then MBA called me. I said, absolutely, not, never doing 284 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: this again. And I knew it was bad when my 285 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: wife and I've been holding hands since the day after 286 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: we're graduating from high school and most things I do. 287 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: She goes, oh, that was really we got in the car. 288 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: I go, oh, that was brutal.

It's interesting because Bingo always talks about looking 406 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: today's world. Everybody's online, and you know, you're looking for 407 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: the best company at the best price, but to be 408 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: able to go in and shake hands and get you 409 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: get a feel for if this is a company that 410 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: you want to work with. You know, during the break, 411 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: we talked about a friend of mine who's looking for 412 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,719 Speaker 1: windows and doors and right away Aaronson just get them 413 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,959 Speaker 1: tickets to the Nary show him go. And I'm not 414 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: sure that my buddy is the guy that's gonna want 415 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: to walk through the show. So he's like, just you know, 416 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: have a couple of people call me and let's have 417 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: that conversation. But I think personally, outside of this buddy 418 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: of mine, the best time and the best way to 419 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: do it is go and shake hands with these guys 420 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: and get a feel for whether that's a company you 421 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: want to work with well. 422 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 3: And the nice thing is, you know, depending on what 423 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 3: you need. You know, it could be a design build 424 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 3: company like myself, could be a roofer, could be a 425 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 3: stucco guy. But you have multiples of each at the show, 426 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 3: and you know, a lot of these projects are bigger projects, 427 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 3: so it almost becomes a little bit like a marriage. 428 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 3: So you want to make sure that the person that 429 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 3: you're going to hire you're going to communicate well with. 430 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 3: And the only way by doing that is actually having 431 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 3: conversations with people. 432 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 2: So a good thing about Look, say you're looking for windows, 433 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: You're going to talk to a window guy. You've got 434 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 2: a stuccle house. Never crossed your mind that when you 435 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 2: replace your windows you got to repair the stucco around it. 436 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 2: Having a conversation with the window guy, he's going to 437 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 2: be able to tell you, oh, yeah, you've got the 438 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 2: stuccle house. Did you know you have to repair it? 439 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: No? 440 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 2: Okay, Well let's go over here talk to creative right, 441 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: and they can give you an idea of what what 442 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 2: that part entails. And it's just one of those things 443 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 2: that you can't really do that online, and they talking 444 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 2: to somebody with the experience, they they show you things 445 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 2: you never would have thought of or considered. 446 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: And and and you get a different feel. And not 447 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: everybody is for everybody, right, When when you talk to 448 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: three window companies that are going to be at the 449 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: n Airy Show, you get a pretty good feel who 450 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: you're comfortable with. And again, like Dave had said, it's 451 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: almost a marriage and you're dating them for a while, 452 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: especially like this buddy of mine. I mean, twenty three 453 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: windows and a front door and a back door.

What a great way to teach kids 502 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: who are fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old how important it 503 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: is to give back as well, for sure. 504 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, using your skills to give back to people in need. 505 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 3: I mean it's you know, we're slowly kind of building 506 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 3: this this Next Gen Trades Challenge into other things and 507 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 3: that's just kind of one of the other things that 508 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 3: it has grown into. And yeah, it's a great lesson 509 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 3: for the kids. 510 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: Hey, the other part of this show, look when you 511 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: go through it and walk through it, you're going to 512 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: be able to then listen to people up on stage 513 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: talking and about different categories. So make sure that you 514 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 1: understand when you go, it's not just going to meet 515 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: a couple of people about having windows put in. But 516 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: there's a lot of different things that you can do. 517 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: And again, when Michelle Brown put this out a couple 518 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: of years ago about maximizing and step to prepare for 519 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: the home show, one is research ahead of time, knowing 520 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: your needs, set a budget, which is really important, and 521 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: then prioritize those projects. What a great first step before 522 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 1: you walk in. Don't just walk in blind. And I 523 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: don't think people do that anymore. Like the woman I 524 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 1: talked about in the first segment want to talk to 525 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: three window companies and then get out of here. But 526 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: I think people now kind of start to kind of 527 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: do this so they can maximize the time that they're 528 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: at the show. Yeah, most definitely, I think you have 529 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: to write to get as much out of that show 530 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: as you can. That's what There's one hundred and fifty people, 531 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty nary members there. You're not gonna 532 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: be able to get through all of those so make 533 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: sure you set your budget, make sure you know what 534 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: your needs are, and then you want to go over 535 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: to what your wants are because you're going to have 536 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: a great opportunity to do that. Bring essential items like 537 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: a notebook of tablet photos from your house. I don't 538 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: think people think about that part, Dave. I think you know, well, 539 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: I can tell them I want a new kitchen. But 540 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: if you bring pictures, then you can really dig deep 541 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: into that conversation. Yes, yes, sir. As a project manager, 542 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: people bring pictures to give you an idea and what 543 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: they're looking for. Does that move this project ahead and 544 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: quickly rather than having you come out to get a 545 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: feel for what the space looks like. 546 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, pictures definitely help. I mean having a good sense 547 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,479 Speaker 3: of kind of what what your your vision is helps 548 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 3: us help you. But also going back to that list 549 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 3: of nice to have and must haves is definitely important 550 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,719 Speaker 3: part of and also talking about a budget. Having a 551 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,239 Speaker 3: realistic budget is probably maybe number one, because you know, 552 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 3: you can have all the ideas in the world and 553 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 3: dreams and wants, but unfortunately, if the budget can't afford it, 554 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 3: you know, you got to figure out a way to 555 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 3: get those must haves at least taken care of. 556 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,959 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. Hey, the difference between coming in and 557 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: working with a company that could do the work for 558 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: you or working with a company that is designed to 559 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: build remodel, that's a big difference for for somebody like me, 560 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: Like I would prefer to work with your company who 561 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 1: can walk me through the design part, the bill part, 562 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: and the remodel part, rather than thinking that I could 563 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: be the project manager myself if I want to redo 564 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: my kitchen or redo our master bath, or a major project, 565 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: like you know, to be able to put an addition 566 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: on to a house. When people ask you, why should 567 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: they work with a design to build remodel company rather 568 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: than just work with a company that can do the work, 569 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: what do you tell them? 570 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 3: Well, I think what they tell them is, you know, 571 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 3: back in the day, we used to we've always been 572 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 3: designed build, But back in the day, we used to 573 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 3: just quote out projects that you know, we would get 574 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 3: a set of plans that an architect did. These people 575 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 3: would spend a lot of money to create these plans 576 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 3: and they would fall in love with them, and then 577 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 3: the reality hit when the cost of said project came, 578 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 3: and it was always very much a frustration because a 579 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 3: lot of times the designers and the people building it 580 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 3: weren't having a conversation. So that goes back to communicating 581 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 3: amongst the entire team. So when you're working with a 582 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 3: design build project or company that does design build, you're 583 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 3: putting that all under one roof. And the way our 584 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 3: process works is we do what we call a preliminary 585 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 3: design phase where we will spend some money to then 586 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 3: be able to put realistic numbers to the project that 587 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 3: you're looking at. Now, we haven't the drawings aren't so 588 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 3: far developed that we can't make changes. So it's very 589 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 3: much working through a process and working through the budgets 590 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 3: because ultimately, you know, we want to build this and 591 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 3: the people want it built. So just going through a 592 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,719 Speaker 3: design phase and spending money on that it's fun at 593 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 3: the time, but it doesn't get you anything if you 594 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 3: actually don't build it. So that's why when you work 595 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 3: with a design build company, you can kind of work 596 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 3: through that and work through the budget and figure out, 597 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 3: you know, make it a reality. 598 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: Hey Aaron, and you hear him talk like that, I 599 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: just think that that if you want to work with 600 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: with a company like to mention design to build remodel. 601 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: That for me is one one stop shop, right we 602 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: can I'm not going to be able to come up 603 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: with the design side of it, the bill side, obvious 604 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: and remodel side of it. I can't. And so to 605 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: be able to talk to somebody like Dave, to be 606 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: able to go, look, can you help me from from 607 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: the first step all the way through, I think it's 608 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: just it makes things that really it makes it a 609 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: little bit smoother for guys like me. 610 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 2: It does. It makes it smoother for the customer, and 611 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 2: it makes it smoother for the contractors too. To be 612 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 2: able to any questions you have, I can just go 613 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 2: straight to you. 614 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 3: Well, we get you guys involved all the time when 615 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 3: we're actually bidding out projects. Yes, it's not just me, 616 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 3: you know, looking at a sheet of paper and doing 617 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 3: some calculations. I bring my electricians, my plumbers, you know, 618 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 3: stuccle work involved. I bring the stuccle guys and they're actually, 619 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 3: you know, there's only so much that information on a 620 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 3: piece of paper can tell you. You gotta we actually 621 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 3: have to do a walk through the house. So these 622 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 3: guys help us figure out what the costs are accurately. 623 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, booth twelve forty five. Booth twelve forty five is 624 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: where you're going to be able to talk to Dave 625 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: during the nearing Spring Show again February thirteenth through the 626 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: fifteenth over at State Fair Park and again if you 627 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: go on that website, you can save yourself money some 628 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: money by buying tickets ahead of time. If you go 629 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: to Nary Milwaukee Dot or go to the Spring show, 630 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: you can save four dollars by buying tickets online.

The other part 635 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: of this show that I think is really fun and Aaron, 636 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: you'll you'll find this out because Shelby'll be there. But 637 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: it's very family friendly. I mean there's a lot of 638 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: there's a lot of reasons to bring your kids to 639 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: a show like this, Oh there is. 640 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 2: I mean got a different experience than other kids. I mean, 641 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 2: she gets to stick behind the booth and she's really 642 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 2: into she's really into customers right now, so she gets 643 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 2: to get people stickers and have fun. But I like 644 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 2: to take a break from the boot and walk around 645 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 2: with her. And there's so many, so many things for 646 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 2: kids to see, and all of the vendors do such 647 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,239 Speaker 2: a great job of including the kids nowadays. 648 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 3: Well, and I think the back the back the challenge. Also, 649 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 3: they're going to be building play sets, and I think 650 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 3: they're going to let the kids play in the play 651 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 3: sets too, So it's kind of something. 652 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 2: Maybe that's even bad.
