1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to our friend Dean Sharp,

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: who has short timers Halftimer's disease, because he's leaving us

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks, but we get him today,

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: So good morning, Dean.

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: Good morning. Got to make a big deal about it.

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: I because I'm so jealous. I'm so jealous because we

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: got to go to Paris last year and we're actually

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: planning another trip back because we loved it so much.

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: So I know that you're spending a few days there

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: for you.

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: And we're cruising up the Rhine River.

12
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: Which is another thing that I really want to do.

13
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: One of the river cruises on the small boats sounds

14
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: so amazing. I can't wait to see pictures and hear

15
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: all about it.

16
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: Never done that before, so looking forward to it.

17
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: Okay, well, yes, we got to get down to business.

18
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: Okay.

19
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: International Builder Show sounds like it's like the Cees for builders.

20
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: It is. It is, literally, when it comes to home

21
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: building and home design, the largest show on the planet,

22
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: and it happens every year, and it just wrapped up.

23
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 2: It's very very last show ever in Orlando, Florida, and

24
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: it's permanently moving next year to Las Vegas. It normally

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: rotates coast to coast, back and forth, but now we're

26
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: just going to have it here on the West Coast

27
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: from now on. But anyway, just wrapped up this last

28
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: week here Tuesday through Thursday. It was a massive, massive show.

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: And we always whether we're there personally for West Coast

30
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: shows or where we've got people on the ground, we

31
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: always collect the best of and we're still putting our

32
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: list together, but we've already got some impressive stuff and

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: that's what we're going to be talking about on the

34
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: big show on Sunday.

35
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: Okay, so just for a little sneak peek, I mentioned

36
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: that we'd be talking about doors because on a house,

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: I know that you have to do it because we

38
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: all have cars and you have to have a place

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: to put them. And so the first thing you see

40
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: when you drive up to a house is a big, old,

41
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: ugly garage door.

42
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: A lot of time, sure, that's true, especially here in

43
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: southern Californi. We have so many tracks that are designed

44
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: with garage forward homes. Not only is the garage on

45
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: the front of the house. We stopped using Alley's you know,

46
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: kind of pre World War.

47
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: Two, which is too bad because it was so cool

48
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: when you could pull the car behind the house so

49
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: you don't see.

50
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: It, right, I mean, I really love that concept. But

51
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: that's something that builders stopped taking advantage of because they

52
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: just wanted to maximize the size of properties and shove

53
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: as many homes onto properties as possible. So now most

54
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: of us have garages that face front. In fact, not

55
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: only face front, but the garage is usually shoved further

56
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: closer to the street than the rest of the house.

57
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: And because of that, you've got this sixteen foot wide door, which,

58
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: for all intents and purposes when it comes to curb appeal,

59
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: is really I think what you should consider your front door.

60
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: If you're going to prioritize doing something with the front

61
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: door of the house and you haven't upgraded your garag door,

62
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: you should really give that some serious consideration as far

63
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: as a door that's going to make a big difference

64
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: for the curb appeal of your home.

65
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: Okay, And then here's another thing, speaking of front doors

66
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: to your house, there's a really cool picture that you

67
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: put out that it's a pivoting front door as opposed

68
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: to you know, the side open it pivots. Why why

69
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: do we do that?

70
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: Well, so pivoting front doors have have been an item

71
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: of desire for you know, a couple of decades now,

72
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: But when they first came out, they were really something

73
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: that most people thought, well, that's for rich people and

74
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: big fancy houses. But pivoting front doors, which are extra

75
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: wide doors by the way, have really come into their

76
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: own now and they're now being manufactured. And when you consider,

77
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: let's say, if you if you only have like a

78
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: thirty six thirty six inch wide front door, if that's it,

79
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: if just that's the door, then a pivoting front door

80
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: that's extra wide is going to be, you know, considerably

81
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: more expensive. But a lot of folks have a kind

82
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: of a wide door set up already. They've got the

83
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: the three foot wide door and then they've got like

84
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 2: two sidelights of glass or wood panel next to the door. Well,

85
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: if you measure that sucker overall, then it's a little

86
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: over five to you know, six feet wide, And if

87
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 2: that comes out, then a pivoting front door that whole

88
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: width a single door can go in its place for

89
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 2: essentially the same price range as buying that three panel unit.

90
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: And pivoting front doors are just super super cool. They

91
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: have instead of a hinge or a set of hinges

92
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: on the far edge of the door. They actually have

93
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: pins that run up into the header and down into

94
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: the floor about a foot in So when that door opens, Uh,

95
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: it's really a super cool experience. It opens about four

96
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: feet wide. And and it's just if you've ever walked

97
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 2: through one before. If you've never walked through one before,

98
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: then you'll be surprised just how seriously cool it is

99
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: to walk through. And it makes a big impression.

100
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just it's it smells like money to me.

101
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: Well, like I said, yeah, if you have a three

102
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: foot wide front door, it is money. But if you're

103
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: replacing a unit that's five feet wide already, then it's

104
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: it's it's on the table because it's a swap, okay.

105
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: And then here's another kind of door that I'm not

106
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: sure I quite understand, but it actually looks kind of cool.

107
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: It's like the next generation of barn doors. Almost a

108
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: flush sliding door.

109
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, imagine a barn door. We all know what barn

110
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: doors do. Right there on a track and they you know,

111
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: they slide to the side. They're kind of like a

112
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: pocket door, except it's exposed without the pocket. Yeah. Yeah,

113
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: no pocket. So imagine a barn door that on one side,

114
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 2: actually the track curves in so that when the door

115
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: is closed, it's completely flush with the wall opening. In

116
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 2: other words, the door virtually disappears on one side. And

117
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: so if you have a paneled wall, the door actually

118
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: becomes a hidden door. And if you put a pair

119
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: of them together, then you have two hidden doors. You

120
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: walk up to this one section of the wall, give

121
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: it just a tiny little push, and suddenly the doors

122
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 2: recede back away from you and slide to the side

123
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: and out of the way. It's just another version of

124
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: a door that can be hidden or de emphasized, that

125
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: can go away. And wow, what a cool experience it

126
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: is to have a room on the other side of

127
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: those doors that suddenly opens to you and you didn't

128
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: expect it, and it's essentially barn door hardware, but there's

129
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: a little curve at the end so that the doors

130
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: actually slide in and flush out with the wall.

131
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: Super cool, all right, So this is what Dean is

132
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: going to be talking about, is all the cool discoveries

133
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: from the International Builders Show, and that is happening this weekend.

134
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: Listen to Home with Dean Sharp from six to eight

135
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: am on Saturday, nine to noon on Sunday, and you

136
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: can follow Dean at Home with Dean. I would imagine

137
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: you're going to post some of the pictures of these

138
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: cool things on your Instagram.

139
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll be putting those up so people can follow along.

140
