1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty. You're listening to Dean Sharp The 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 1: House Whisper on demand on the iHeart Radio app. Whether 3 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 1: home for you is a castle or a cottage, good 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: design is what makes all the difference. Every house deserves it, 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: every house should enjoy it, because once good design is 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: at work, every house has a path forward toward becoming 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: a truly, truly great home. And on today's show, that's 8 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: exactly what we're going to be talking about the beginnings 9 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: of that good design process. I'm going to unveil a 10 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: little bit more of the magic of what it makes 11 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: to you know, whisper a house. So I started this 12 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: we had a show, let's see, I think our last 13 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: show on this topic, or our first one actually was 14 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: January fourth, first of the year, Designing Like a House Whisperer. 15 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: That was installment one, and in that installment we talked 16 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: about over coming house blindness by opening yourself to see 17 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: your home with fresh eyes. Today is installment two, and 18 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: we're going to put those powers of observations to work 19 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: in order to start diagnosing where your property actually needs 20 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: the most attention. That's our goal, and it's gonna be fun, 21 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: it's gonna be good, gonna be hopefully very insightful and 22 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: also outsightful. What was that? I'll explain that in a second. 23 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: And of course we're also going to be taking your calls. 24 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: The number to reach me eight three three two. Ask 25 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: Dean eight three three, the numeral two, and then you 26 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: just spell out ask Dean.

I'm talking about the fundamental elements of 32 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: your home's situation and its orientation today. But when it 33 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: comes to calls, you, you, my friend, you get to 34 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: set the agenda. You're the star of that show.

My flowers are 57 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: very confused, they are. I mentioned that on the show yesterday, 58 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: that your flowers are confused. You know, you trimmed all 59 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: your roses back and you're like here here, everybody.

And uh not that 70 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: the food won't be good tasting, it's just you know, 71 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's the Super Bowl. Don't bring me your 72 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: Assai bowls, your Sie bowls on Super Bowl Sunday. No, 73 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: I want Chilian, some fries, whatever, whatever. And Jan's checks 74 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: mix Yes, Oh my gosh. So Jan, our dear friend, Jan, 75 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: our daughter in law's mom. She's with us and she 76 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: makes the world's most killer killer chex mix. I don't 77 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: know what else she puts in it. She actually, you know, 78 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: have you noticed that we never see Jan making the 79 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: chex mix. I actually watched her make Summer, did you? 80 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: But I didn't see everything that she did because I 81 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: request it and then it just shows up all of 82 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: a sud It shows up in that big foil container 83 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: and I'm like I don't know what she puts in there. 84 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: Maybe she goes off where no one could see or 85 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: so to ask you wand over it, I think it's 86 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: I think she makes it in a cauldron like a 87 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: like a sorceress. But anyway it is, it's addictive. We 88 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: just call it crack. It's holiday crack around here. Okay, 89 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: not that I would know what crack is like. Just 90 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: to clarify that, I'm just I'm just saying it's highly addictive. 91 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: All right, joll We're gonna get rolling here, great stuff 92 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: on the way. When we come back, we are going 93 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: to begin talking about something that is so fundamental to 94 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: that to the house whispering design process that you know, 95 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: it would be a sin if I skipped over it 96 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: and we moved on to other things that you're thinking 97 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: about without really really digging in. Today we're talking about 98 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: orientation and situation. What does that mean. We're talking about 99 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: looking at the fundamental factors that inform the design potential 100 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: of your home. Okay, where it sits, how it sits 101 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: on the property, What are the features of the property. 102 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: Where is your home's ability to take those features in? 103 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: Where is it ignoring them? And we're going to just 104 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: step through it. I'm going to take you through a 105 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: list of things to look at and see. This is 106 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: fresh on my mind, Tina and I just did this 107 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: earlier this week when we walked onto a property in Beverly, 108 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: Glenn and you know, basically had to begin the design 109 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: and measuring process there. And this is the process that 110 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: we go through, that we force ourselves to go through, 111 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: and I want you to learn to move through it 112 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: as well. Well we'll get there right after this. You 113 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: are Home with Dean Sharp, the House Whisperer. 114 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 115 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty. 116 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for joining us on the program today. How 117 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: is your Sunday morning going so far? Mine's going good. 118 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: Mine's going good. It's going to be a beautiful day. 119 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowl today, come on, come on, you know it's 120 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: gonna be great. I just you know, we love it 121 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: for everything that it is. We love the football, we 122 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: love the commercials. We just love getting together with friends 123 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: and hanging out and having funds. Just another excuse to 124 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: hang out and have fun, even if you're not a footballer, Okay, 125 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: just a thing. Get together with some people and have fun. 126 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: Today that's all I'm saying. All right, we will probably 127 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: have several rounds of corn hole in by the time 128 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: the game is over or begins. You know, just the thing. 129 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,559 Speaker 1: We're just looking for an excuse to have some fun 130 00:07:54,320 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: always and also go Seahawks. That's all I'm saying. No, 131 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: I don't have any skin in the game, not really not. 132 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: You know, Rams didn't make it. Fine, It's fine, but Seahawks. 133 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: Good team West Coast. See, if I have to default, 134 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: I got a default to West Coast. I gotta go 135 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: West Coast. So and I like Seattle, and I like 136 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, and I'm still a little peeved at the Patriots. 137 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: I gotta say, just for more than one reason. So 138 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: I'm going Seahawks and hopefully you know it's gonna work out. 139 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: All right, what are we talking about today? Here we 140 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: go into the second installment that we've done this year 141 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: so far of Designing like a House Whisper. It's a 142 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: reoccurring series about true transformation by unleashing the most powerful 143 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: design principles in your home. Now. Back on January fourth show, 144 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: we talked about overcoming your house blindness. We talked a 145 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: lot about just you, and we always have to talk 146 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: about you when it comes to these things, because you're 147 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: the thing standing in the way of seeing what you 148 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: need to see. Okay, so am I all right? So 149 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: it's not all in you, but that's the idea. But 150 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: on January fourth show, we were really really focusing on 151 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: this issue of house blindness, opening yourself up to see 152 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: your home with new eyes. We'll touch on those things 153 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: again today, but today I want to put those powers 154 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: of observation to work. Okay, now that you got me 155 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: thinking about a dean and I'm trying to see things better, 156 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: trying to look past my own house blindness, what do 157 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: you want me to look at? That's really the issue today. 158 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: Our goal is to new insight into your home. But 159 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: here's the thing. To get new insight into your home, 160 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: it actually begins with outsighte And no, I didn't make 161 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: that up. Outside is a thing, it's a concept. It 162 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: is the ability to see the world outside of us clearly, 163 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: which in many ways is far more difficult than insight, 164 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: because we don't see the world, you know, completely objectively. 165 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: We just don't. The essayist A nias Nin famously said, 166 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: we see the world not as it is, but as 167 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: we are. That is so true, so true. Our outward 168 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: perceptions are so locked up in our own internal stories 169 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: and biases. By the time they get in and seeded 170 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: in our brains, they have been influenced and biased in 171 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: you know, a thousand different ways. And we want to 172 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: be really conscious of that, as conscious as possible, those 173 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: biases that we're putting on the way that we see 174 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: the world, because we're not seeing the world as it is. 175 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: We're seeing it as we are. Right, So, if we're 176 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: going to be a really good house detective, then we 177 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: would take a clue from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous 178 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes, who like to say, you see, but you 179 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: do not observe. Okay, So we're going to get past 180 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: that today. That's the whole idea. What are we first 181 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: looking at? Well? To find out what's actually really needs 182 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: the most attention for your home, we have to start 183 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: at the beginning. We do. We always have to start 184 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: at the beginning. And this is a funny thing. I 185 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: have a little bit of a reputation for this. Okay, 186 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. It amuses people also 187 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: has them scratching their heads because you'll call me over 188 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: for a consult because you want design advice for the 189 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: kitchen or for the living room or for whatever. And 190 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm listening. I'm absolutely one hundred and fifty percent listening. 191 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: But when it comes my time to spend a little 192 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: time alone processing your home, after we've had our interview 193 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: and we've talked about you know, your wants and needs 194 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: and so on, after we've talked about what you see, 195 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: I need some time with the house to see what 196 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: I see. And yeah, I usually go like out front again, 197 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: I usually walk out front, stare at the house from 198 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: across the street, and sometimes homeowners are like, Okay, the 199 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: bathroom that I wanted you to is in the back 200 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: of the house. What are you doing? And here's what 201 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: I'm doing. I'm trying to get an overall insight and 202 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: trying to get a perspective on what exactly you know 203 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: you're about to spend commit a lot of money, a 204 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: lot of dollars to this project. And absolutely I heard 205 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: you you want to remodel this bathroom. I get it. 206 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: I also want to step back and see if I 207 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: can't do you a favor by just either confirming or 208 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: suggesting that the house may have other issues larger issues, 209 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: maybe even more important issues. And if it doesn't, it 210 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: doesn't and that's fantastic. And I move right on into 211 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: the bathroom where you wanted me to focus. But yeah, 212 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: I always step back and try and take a look. 213 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: So I want to see the fundamentals. And the fundamentals 214 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: for your house are its orientation and its situation. We're 215 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: going to start with the land that your home is 216 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: sitting on, its topography, the soil, the vegetation, trees, the wind, 217 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: the weather. And how about this the path of the 218 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: sun as it travels through the sky. How does that 219 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: relate to your home so critically, Well, we'll talk about 220 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: it right after this your Home with Dean Shark the house. 221 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 2: Was you're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand 222 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 2: from KFI AM six forty. 223 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: We're talking about some really fundamental things when it comes 224 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: to figuring out what's going on with your home. Now, 225 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: I just want to make this really clear. I know 226 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: that you have priorities when it comes to your home. 227 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: It might be, oh, I want to remodel this bathroom, 228 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,599 Speaker 1: or we want to rearrange the living room and the 229 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: kitchen orientation, or you know, whatever the case may be. 230 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: Whatever whatever it is, and I know these fundamentals. When 231 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: we're talking about, oh, we get outside and take a 232 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: look at the property itself, it may may seem to 233 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: you like, well, that's not really hitting the nail on 234 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: the head here for us. That's fun if you've already 235 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: done this and you've moved on to the other things. 236 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: But I'm here to help you understand what it is 237 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: about your property that somebody like me sees when I 238 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: come on board with you as your designer or to 239 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: even give you a design consult And what I'm trying 240 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: to do is I'm trying to, you know, kind of 241 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: demystify the process here so that this whole idea of 242 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: house whispering is not you know, it's not a magic trick. However, 243 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: I would say this. I was being interviewed by somebody yesterday. 244 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: It was very very nice for their not for media, 245 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: but for their PhD program, for their PhD or master's 246 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: program anyway. They we were just talking about the idea 247 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: of kind of demystifying what it is that we do 248 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: because sometimes we'll show up and I'm happy about this. 249 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: I'm happy that people say, wow, I never would have 250 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: seen that in a million years, and that's a game changer. 251 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: I'm happy that we get to the game changer thing, 252 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: but I just want to let you know, you know, 253 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: I ultimately here. The point of doing this program with you, 254 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: spending time with you every week like I do, is 255 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: not just to you know, get the fix it things done, 256 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: and not just to you know, show you great design 257 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: talk about it, but also to help you get there yourself. 258 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: And so the idea of covering these fundamentals, they're important 259 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: for any homeowner who really truly wants to have a 260 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: big picture transformation plan for your home. And that's the 261 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: thing I'm talking about, big picture transformation plan for your home, 262 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: because so often Tina and I will show up and 263 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: we will end up pointing out something entirely unrelated to 264 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: what the owner's priorities were now And I don't mean 265 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: again to say that we're ignoring the owner's priorities. We don't. 266 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: But you know, I throw this in as a bonus anyway, 267 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: and sometimes rightly so. I think it reorients the whole 268 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: process for them because they're like, yeah, I never really 269 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: realized that that fundamentally, it's probably more important for me 270 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: to address the things that you brought up here during 271 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: our time than to just rush on to that thing 272 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: that I called you out for to begin with. And 273 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: you know, that's all well and good, and I'm glad 274 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: to hear that. So that's kind of where we're at. 275 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: What are the things that I start to look at 276 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: on every single project. And like I said, Tina and 277 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: I were just setting up a measure for a client 278 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: where we measure up the house and we build their 279 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: house inside our computer in a three D model before 280 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: we start doing the redesign or changing things or adding 281 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: things to it. In this case, we're going to be 282 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: not changing anything about the house itself, but we're going 283 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: to be adding an adu, you know, a guesthouse in 284 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: the back, and it's critical to be able to see 285 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: the house from it. What are the vistas and so 286 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: on and again I'll pull out my camera on my 287 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: phone and we'll take video and we will walk the property, 288 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: making every comment we can about the observations of the 289 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: orientation and the situation of the property. So here we go, right, 290 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: the most fundamental factors that inform the design potential of 291 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: your home start with the direction that it's facing and 292 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: the orientation of your property. So now is the time 293 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: to get out the compass. You're like, compass? What is 294 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: a compass? You know what a compass is, but you 295 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: may not own a compass, although you probably do because 296 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: if you have a smartphone, you've got a compa. I'm 297 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: pretty sure I know that all iPhones have compass apps 298 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: built into them ready to go. If you've never searched 299 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: for it, you just search through your apps and boom, 300 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: it'll pop up. And I'm pretty sure androids do too, right, 301 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: don't androids also have it? I don't know if they 302 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: come native or whether you can just get a free 303 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: compass app. I know there's a million of them out 304 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: there for free. I will tell you this that the 305 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: thing inside your phone that the compass needs every every 306 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: smartphone has, which is the Is it the magnetometer? Magnetometer 307 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 1: magnominer Megan, Yeah, if you because your phone is capable 308 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: of doing navigation for you, right maps and all of 309 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: that kind of thing, so it has what it takes 310 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: to know what direction you're facing. And therefore there is 311 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: a compass app for your phone. You get that out, 312 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: and if you've never done this before, you walk out 313 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: into your yard and take a look at your home 314 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: and you get your bearings, literally get your bearings at 315 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: This may seem overly elementary to a lot of you, 316 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: because some of you may be saying, who doesn't know 317 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: what direction their house is facing. Trust me when I 318 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: tell you about half of the people out there do 319 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: not really fully realize what direction their house is facing. 320 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: It's just a it's a byproduct of I don't know, 321 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: our culture living in the twenty first century. We're just 322 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: all wrapped up in our own stuff and in our 323 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: tech and in our indoor spaces, and you know, a 324 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: lot of people have lost contact with the actual world 325 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: that we physically exist in. But I'll tell you when 326 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: it comes to your home and making it right, this 327 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: is step one. The sun rules everything when it comes 328 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: to how we begin to design your home because the 329 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: sun and its light, which is changing all day long, 330 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: it has a path across the sky. Now Here in 331 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: southern California. Do you know this that in southern California 332 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 1: the sun rises nearly due east and it sets just 333 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: almost nearly due west. And you're like, yeah, Dean, we 334 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: all learned that when we were like five years old, right, 335 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Yeah, 336 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: but I'm not talking about east ish because depending on 337 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: where you are on this planet, your launch tude on 338 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: this planet, depending on where you are, the sun may 339 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: rise further south east or further northeast. But here in 340 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: southern California, we're close enough to the central band of 341 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: life on the planet that the sun pretty much rises 342 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: due east, I mean maybe a part of a percent 343 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: degree off and sets due west. So there you go. 344 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: First rule of thumb. Second is that in southern California, 345 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: the sun is always, always in the southern sky, always, 346 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: even at the very height of summer. When the sun 347 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: reaches the solar noon, right in the middle of summer, 348 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: it is at about seventy nine or eighty degrees, not 349 00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: ninety degrees, not directly overhead, about ten degrees to the south, 350 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: even at the height of summer. And that changes in 351 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: the winter all the way down to the sun cruising 352 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 1: across at about thirty two to thirty three degrees along 353 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: the southern sky, which means much longer shadows, much lower light. 354 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: That's a forty six degree difference between where the sun 355 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: is during the winter and where the sun is during 356 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: the summer. And that's the beginning of understanding. Now when 357 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: we come back, what does that have to do with 358 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: the house, with what it's taking in. We'll talk about 359 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: that right after this. Your Home with Dean Sharp, the 360 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: house Whisper. 361 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 362 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty. 363 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: Whatever has you scratch in your head about your home design, construction, diy, inside, outside, heardscape, landscape. 364 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: I got you. We'll put our heads together. We will 365 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: get it figured out. I promise you and me will 366 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: figure it out, and everybody else will get to benefit 367 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: from that conversation. Go into the phones after the next break. 368 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: So now's the perfect time to give us a call. 369 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: All right, all right, I left you hang in with 370 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: the sun, the direction of the sun and the arc 371 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: across the sky. Now, wherever you live in northern North 372 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: America in the lower forty eight I should say what 373 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: I just described about southern California, sun doesn't change much, 374 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: you know, the further north you get. Yeah, there is 375 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: some alterations, but that's pretty much kind of the zone 376 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: that we're in. Again, we live in the northern hemisphere, 377 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: and so the sun is always to one degree or 378 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: another in the southern sky. Now why is that important? Well, 379 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: what's important about that is number one, the direction that 380 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: shadows travel. As a result, you're looking for a big 381 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: shade tree in the yard. You're like, Oh, wouldn't it 382 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: be lovely to have a big old shade tree in 383 00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: our yard? Okay, great, it's fantastic. Love that love tree. 384 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: We'll talk about those a little bit more later. Let's 385 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: say your property is, you know, running kind of east west. Well, 386 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't even matter, it doesn't even matter. Let's just 387 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: go out into your yard. Let's find the southern sun. 388 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: Let's find where the sun is coming from. Do you 389 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: know that if you plant that tree and if your 390 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: dream is like, yeah, I won big about forty fifty 391 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: sixty foot shade tree with a big old thirty foot 392 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: canopy around it, throw a lot of shade. Well, if 393 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: you plant a shade tree on the north edge, right 394 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: next to the north fence of your property, you've got 395 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: to understand this. When that thing comes to full maturity, 396 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: its shade is going to belong to your neighbors directly 397 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: to your north because the sun is in the southern 398 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: sky and shadows always get thrown to the north. So again, 399 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: this is where we have to think about the orientation 400 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: of the sun to your property. We want a big, 401 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: old shade tree, you know. And I'm not saying it 402 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 1: has to be on the southern side of the property 403 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: as well. I just want you to be aware that 404 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: during most of the year, the shade from that tree 405 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: is not going to be directly under the tree. It's 406 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: going to be under and shifted north because the sun 407 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: is in the south. And so the place to orient 408 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: a tree. When folks ask us where should we put 409 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 1: that tree, and I'm like, well, where do you want 410 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: the shade? Oh, we want the shade right here. Okay, 411 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: then the tree needs to be probably right about there. 412 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: And they're like, oh, that's interesting because I would have 413 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: just put the tree where I wanted to shade. Yeah. No, no, 414 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: because that's not how you know, the universe actually works. 415 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: This is why these fundamentals are so important. Why does 416 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 1: it matter? Other reasons it matter? Southern sun is direct light. 417 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: Those of you who have windows facing due south you 418 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: know this. You're like, man, the sun blazes in through 419 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 1: those windows. Those of you who have front doors facing 420 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: south with without a big covered porch, you know, because 421 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: I get the calls every week, what do I do 422 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: to protect my door. It just gets beat up by 423 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: the southern sun all the time. These are factors. The 424 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: Southern sun is always direct light, it's always intense light. 425 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: So as southern sunlight enters through a south facing window, 426 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: we need to usually baffle it, diffuse it. I don't 427 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: like blocking it because I don't want you know, I 428 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: want sunlight in the house. But we need to find 429 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: ways of diffusing it and softening it and decreasing its 430 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 1: heat transfer, all of those kinds of things. We need 431 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: to control the southern sun because it's intense and it's direct. 432 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 1: And the nice thing about southern sunlight is it's so 433 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: intense that we don't necessarily have to have big windows 434 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: to collect it because it beams in, you know, it 435 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: just blasts in. Now. Just the opposite is true of 436 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 1: northern exposures. The north side of your home and any 437 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: windows that face north or let's just assume, to keep 438 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: the conversation simple, that your house is or we're talking 439 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: about a house that's oriented directly north, south east west, 440 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: right right on the lines. Any window on the north 441 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: side of the house is always in the shade, always 442 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: in the shade. And I mean that I mean, if 443 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: your house faces due north straight up, okay, then the 444 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: windows on the north side of the house are always 445 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 1: in the shade, even at the height of summer. Not 446 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: a lot of shade. I mean, the shade draws in 447 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: close to the house, but still those windows never ever 448 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: get direct sunlight blast in through them. This is why 449 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: I'm sharing this because there are folks listening right now 450 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: who are like, oh my gosh, I never really thought 451 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: about that. I never thought about the fact that there's 452 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: no direct sunlight that ever comes blasting. I guess we 453 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: didn't need to be to buy those heavy duty blinds 454 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 1: for those windows. No, you didn't. And here's the other thing. 455 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: The opposite is true of the north of the then 456 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: the south. In the southern exposure, we don't necessarily need 457 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: huge windows to collect that light because it's so powerful 458 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: as it directly bores in through those windows. On the 459 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: northern exposure, that light is in direct light. And by 460 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: the way, that light the most beautiful light. Northern exposure light. 461 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: It's indirect, it's ambient, it's softer light, it's lovely light. 462 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,719 Speaker 1: The quality of light if you live in the northern 463 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: hemisphere of light that pours in through a northern facing 464 00:27:55,400 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: window is beautiful soft light. However, it's not bright and 465 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: it's not intense. So the aperture, the whole through which 466 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: we gather that light needs to be larger. Some of 467 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: the biggest, largest openings of glass and windows on your 468 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: home in order to brighten those rooms need to be 469 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: focused on the north side of the house. The lessons 470 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: are already beginning to compute, all right, more when we 471 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 1: return your Home with Dean Sharp, the House Whisper.
