Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Our focus now ships over to your health and your
wellness here it's the Health and Welles Show on one
O three point five FM and five sixty am WVOC.
Good morning, you're just joining us. Good to have you here.
My name is Gary David. Coming up, we talk about
more fun out on Lake Murray.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I know the season's winding down, kids are back in
school and all that, but there's still there's a lot
of folks out in the water. They care free Bolk
Clubs of Lake Murray and some very exciting plans. Yes,
more things to talk about with another new location coming
their way in twenty twenty six, great news for folks
on one particular part of the lake. We'll discuss that
mold remediation, figuring out if you got mold in your place.

(00:41):
Spoiler alert, you've probably got at least some kind of
an issue. Most of us do. We'll talk about it
with Larry Harris, the owner of Classic Systems. That's coming
up here in this hour of the Health and Wellness
Show on WVOC. Let's get the ball rolling though, We
get it away with a John Farley Matthew Terry from
Preservation Specialists. Good morning, guys, Yerry, how are you well? Hey,
good morning, great, how are you mister Terry?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Doing well? Doing well?

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Mister Farley, you know, says I got you here. You know,
Aaron not a big deal for us.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
No, it looks as though Aaron is gonna shall we say,
split the uprights meaning three points yeah, between between Bermuda
and the US. Looks like where Aaron's going to go
and that and if it stays on track, it'll stay
out to see altogether, which would be great because Aaron's
going to be a pretty big storm by the time
it comes by, which will be you know, into early
next early to mid next week.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good news there.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
I mean we'll get some big waves at the ocean
and you know, rip currents and that sort of thing
that could be much much worse.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Okay, as I had you here, I r yeah question,
I mean part of what we do, yeah, part of
what you do. Yeah. But let's put on your your
your financial think it has right now and talk about Now.
We had news this past week. First of all, we
had uh well, some positive news on the on the
CPI that came out on last Tuesday I think it was,
which was slightly lower than economist expectations. Yeah, but then

(01:59):
on Thursday we got the PPI, the Producer Price index
out and it was considerably higher than what economists had expected.
Now we're looking at another FED meeting next month, right,
and I read this the other day. You know, the
market has basically got eighty five percent confidence that the
Feds are gonna, you know, issue a rate cut next month.

(02:23):
But based on that producer price index, which if I'm
not mistaken, is like they're preferred, the Fed's preferred index
when it comes with setting rates. This may be up
in the air now.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, because you know when you when you
go back three weeks, you know, we're thinking, okay, two weeks,
they're gonna they're gonna lower, They're gonna lower the interest rate.
But this, but the latest one coming out is yeah,
that that if if that is up and stays up.
The problem is if you lower interest rates, then you

(02:52):
don't have any more levers to pull to try to
lower inflation because you've already you know you.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Really so.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
It's it's not an it's not an easy dance. I
wouldn't want that guy's job, you know. I got to
tell you the entire board. I mean, that's it is
a tough, tough call. What do you do and how
do you how do you try to you know, you
look at the US economy, it's this ginormous barge and
you're trying to which.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
By the way, now has a dead of over thirty
seven trillion dollars.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, yes, that well, there's that. Yeah, we could talk
many many shows on that as well. But trying to
you know, trying to steer this barge as it moves along,
you know, with with the levers that you have, it's
it's hard. It's it's hard to do. So the question
is will interest rates go down? Well maybe right now,

(03:39):
you know what I mean. But but that leads us
to a discussion because a lot of folks have been saying, well, okay,
I've had my money in CDs, right or something.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Like that up.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, and and look at having your money in zero
risk CDs is not a bad place if you're in retirement,
if you're getting you know, four plus percent, right, because
you know that should do it. That said, remember all
of the all of the dividends, all the interest that
you make off of your CD is one hundred percent
tax hol there's no way around it.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
That's just the way it's set up.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
So we've been working with a lot of folks recently
on tax efficient strategies. You know, if you let's just
say you're a person who who is in the you know,
one of the higher tax brackets, uh, and you're you know,
you're making four percent, you're actually putting in your pocket
about two point three percent, two point four something like that.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
You're you're you know, you're not it's not so attractive
as no, no, you're.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Not keeping up with inflation.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
But if you can get into tax advantaged investments and uh,
you know, you can be putting in your pocket five
percent and reducing your tax burden. So so there are
ways that you can strategize on this sort of thing, uh,
to to make your life better. And in fact, there
was a h We've been working with folks recently on

(04:54):
this on this exact issue.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
They're like, hey, my taxes are crazy.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
What can we do?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
And so we're like, well, let's let's sit.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Out, uh as all our taxes are crazy, you know.
Uh So so matthey, I mean again, people go to
CDs because they like this. It's you're not gonna lose
on the investment itself. You're not gonna lose money.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, you know we we we all like
investing in somewhere that gives us peace of mind. Yeah,
and we know we sign up for a CD if
it says it's going to pay us four percent, well
we know we can bank on receiving four percent. But
what John is is is saying, you know, for those
that have non retirement dollars that we're purchasing the CD with,

(05:35):
you know, the interest that spit off and earned, it's
all going to be taxable. And the biggest part that
I would I would encourage you all to think about is,
you know, it's not always about what are we making
at the end of the day. We really care about
what are we keeping? And that is and that and
that's exactly what we're referring to whenever it talks about
tax efficient investments, we are looking to uh increase what

(05:56):
you're keeping. And that's what we were able to do with
this this recent case that we were working on, we
were able to increase their net in their pocket by
over eighty percent. What just about using the proper investments.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Over eighty percent eighty percent, that's the.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Way with a crazy tax thing going on it right.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
No, no, that's all legal. Well this here's the thing.
You were able to change their structure here for their
investments and net that kind of an increase. I mean,
that's that's that's phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well here it is, think Gary. That the thing to remember.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
And we've had this discussion with a few folks and
they're like, well, wait a minute, how's this happening? And
I said, well, don't forget okay, just something to remember.
The tax laws are written and lobbied for by the
people who have some money. Right, So once you get
yourself into that category, you can now take advantage of

(06:47):
these advantageous tax situations that have been written by people
who've been lobbying this for a long time. I mean,
remember we talk about this kind of jokingly, but we say,
how much income tax did Bill Gates pay last year?
Or Warren Buffett? Yeah right, they're not paying income to heed,
They're they're paying long term capital gains. So they're paying it,
you know, twenty percent something like that. Whereas the average

(07:08):
Joe who's working and working hard, the more you earn,
you know, you can be up into the well into
the thirty plus bracket and you make a lot less
than Warren Buffett.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Right.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
So, but there are other strategies that the that the
tax code allows for you to say, Okay, well you
can take advantage of these different circumstances. Now, I do
want to be very very clear. You are introducing some
risk into the investment. Any investment has some risk. So
it's not you know, a CD is guaranteed. But when

(07:40):
you look at the three different properties of any investment
guaranteed or you know, the three things that everybody wants
in every investment.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
We want it to be guaranteed.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
We wanted to have a high return, and we want
to be able to access it every minute of every day.
And that's a dream. Yeah, So you you move those
around and you and you negotiate, Okay, what are these things?
And you're never going to get all three. You can
sometimes get two of the three. But the idea is
you want to say, okay, how do we figure this

(08:11):
all out? So introducing some risk, yes, but a lot
of risk no. You could still stay in very safe
investments and get this these tax strategies that work in
your favor substantially and make a huge I mean many
many tens of thousands of dollars difference annually in your
tax situation.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
So are these like closely held secrets here?

Speaker 6 (08:31):
You voult some of the stuff there.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Well, I mean, let's use one example. If you are
in a large diversified portfolio of certain types of real estate,
the IRS tax code allows for the owners of that
real estate to do this thing called accelerated depreciation and
other things. And what that ends up doing is that

(08:56):
ends up meaning that the dividends that you get from
that investment are either mostly or completely tax free. Yeah,
so that that's one big way. But again, you know
you look at it like, how does this happen? Well,
it happens because the people who have owned commercial real
estate historically have been very wealthy people.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Right.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Other words, if you're if you're owning, if you're owning
large commercial buildings, you're trying to say to the tax code,
how do I how do I make this? How do
I make this better for me and for my investors?
And then you lobby the tax code, and the tax
code says, okay, we'll do that. You know, you get
your you get your legislators in Washington to to have
the code work in your favor and now, I mean

(09:37):
our job is not to change the code.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Our job is to take advantage of wherever that Yeah,
wherever you can. So yeah, well I'm just.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Curious, Matthew. I mean this, this this particular case where
you've you know, an eighty percent increase. Yeah, I mean,
how did that work? You know?

Speaker 4 (09:52):
What what we really did was we started with they
came to us and they said, hey, you know, Matthew,
we we have a problem. We're concerned and we believe
we're paying too much in taxes. And I would say, well,
for one, it's a it's a good problem to have
because you have some money that you are safely have invested,
but it's spitting off income. And we're going to see

(10:13):
if we can explore a few different strategies and determine
if we can increase how much money you keep now
what ends up in your pocket. So that's where we
started with. We evaluated their tax return, We did a
deep dive into it. We looked at all the different investments.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Understood, sound like a lot of fun to be tax returns. Oh,
but this is what you guys are great at.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
That's absolutely and that's that's part of it right with
the with the comprehensive approach we want to measure.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
I just want to make a very clear point here.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Okay, when I'm sitting across the table from a medical person,
I say, you stay in your lane. I'll stay in mine,
because I I have passed out giving blood and I
wish that weren't the case. And I always tell them,
I say, there were three times in my life when
I manned up. I have three children, right, so, like
I had to man up in the in the in
the delivery room because otherwise that would have been bad.

(11:02):
And one time in the delivery room, the nurse looked
over at me, she goes, you get out of here,
because that was white as a sheet. And so listen,
everybody has their strength that is not mine. That is
absolutely yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah. So yeah, So people don't love going through tax returns.
It's something we do. Yeah, go ahead, Matthew.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
No, absolutely, but no, you know, so we wanted to
make sure we took a pullets, we understood you know,
where those taxable income sources were coming from, and then
we said what can we change and what can we
not change? You know, don't want to give away too
much about this client. But you know, for one day,
they had a pension. A pension is a blessing, right,
they were one of.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
The very few that still had those.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
But what a pension is it's a guarantee taxable source.
So there's no magical crystal ball or magical planning theory
that we can present to you that says, hey, we're
going to make this income not taxable. So that is
not possible. But what they did have was they had
money that was sitting in a savings checking account or CDs,
and as John mentioned before, all the interest that was earned,

(12:00):
that's all taxable. So what we did was is we
did a comparative analysis to essentially say, this is, if
you stay on this path, this is the amount of
taxes you're expected to owe given last year's tax return,
and if you move forward with this new proposal, this
is the estimated and projected amount of taxes that you're
going to owe. And at the end of the day,
that analysis came out to be roughly seventy five to

(12:22):
eighty percent more in their pocket.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Wow, that is crazy.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
It is Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
And the other thing that I would I would also
make a point about here is that the earlier you
start planning like this, this was a bubbling problem, that.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Are these sort of things right.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
The earlier you start to look at this the better
because you can say, okay, where am I going to
be in five years, ten years, fifteen years. If I
if I start to make some smaller changes now, that
can make a huge difference down the road. So that's
a really another important factor when you talk about this,
because some people say, oh, you know, I never get, well,
you will get I mean there's a lot of folks

(13:01):
who have done a very good job at saving and
now it's like, now what do I do.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
If you're in your late forties early fifties right now,
and you can start making some of these moves, yeah,
long before you even start to really contemplate retirement. I mean, yeah,
you'll find you over with a good spot.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
I don't know where I was fifteen years ago when
I should have been doing this, but anyway, you know.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
But it's also but I mean there are people who
come in and who are well beyond you know, even
the retirement age, and and now they have a big
you know, now what do I do.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Sort of thing? So yeah, sure, yeah, So we.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Got about two minutes left in the segment. I did
want to ask this at least quickly, because the president
a couple of weeks ago, I guess, issued an executive
order making some changes into into what employers can can
invest the four oh one k money into, which kind
of opened up some of that. But there's still some
consternation amongst some when this is something we've talked about

(13:55):
some investment avenues that weren't available prior in an employee
sponsor for four o one k, but Trump wants them
to be now. But there are some potential downfalls. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
The biggest downfall is like, like I see people say
things like, well, these assets, the things that he wants
to invest in, are inherently more risky. I don't see that,
But I do see them being inherently more illiquid, meaning
that you can't the one thing about a four oh
one k is today you can cash it out and

(14:25):
move on to another job, right, or you can transfer
it from one thing to the other. So the structure
of the investments that he's talking about, it doesn't lend
itself to what typically is public market liquid every day.
That would be something that would need to be overcome.
But those are investments that we're in favor of.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
These are investments you guys.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
We use all the time.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah, and they and they do a good job in
many you know, to accomplish many goals in someone's investment strategy.
So there would definitely be somethings to work out. But yeah, yeah,
the liquidity is the issue though, Yeah, that's it. That
is right now. They are not structured to be one
hundred percent liquid. And again, when you look at somebody's
investment strategy, if twenty percent of their assets or so

(15:10):
are not liquid, for most people, that's a reasonable trade
off because if you can get a good return, a
more stable, solid return on that as compared to your
other stuff, that is a reasonable trade off. Nobody, most
people don't need one hundred percent of their money liquid
every day.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
So yes, exactly, Yeah, all right, we'll get to wrap
it up there. My friends, always great information. I learn
something every time you guys drop by, and you'll drop
by again in a couple of weeks. Yeah, some more
good stuff with this. We appreciate that. In the meantime,
if folks want to sit down with you, you don't
want to wait in a couple of weeks to learn something.
Go in and sit down today absolutely, or maybe not
today but but next week.

your tax return or whatever you need help with. But

is your retirement inflation proofed? Here's what I mean in
retirement chances are you run a fixed income with variable expenses.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
And now we return with a health and wellness show
on one of three point five FM and five sixty
a m w VOC. And we're back now with a
Matt Allons from Carefree Boat Clubs added Lake Murray. Good morning, sir.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Good morning sir. How are you? I'm good. Good to
hear you're not not on the water. You can't be too.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Good, right exactly? Is anybody these it's been the last
like the last two. It seems like monk. No, it's
been that long, good man. The weathers.

Speaker 8 (18:51):
The good news is we built a couple of arcs,
so okay goohed add it on to the fleet exactly
because it has not been great voting weather lately. I
was caught out in it the other day moving from
one location to another. We were sending a boat and
started pelting us with rain. So it wasn't tons of fun.
But uh, you know, we're got to.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Get wet anyway, so who cares, Well, you're gonna get wet,
you know as well, just slow down so it doesn't
hurt his bad exact, don't you sting as much?

Speaker 8 (19:17):
Yeah, I took shelter underneath one of the bridges. Actually,
that's how bad it was.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Been there and done that. Well, it's you know, hey,
kids are back in school. Yep, you know we're winding
down the summer seasons wound down.

Speaker 8 (19:31):
Now officially football season's almost back. Yeah, so we're ye
litwer two weeks planning for the with the boat club world.
We actually welcome a little bit less chaoticness, if that's
a word, and we then get a little bit into
fishing season. So we've got two bass boats to center
consoles and a couple of pontoons that could be used

(19:52):
for fishing. So members are still getting out. Water is
still a good temperature. Members are getting out when the
when the sun comes out, and it's and them for
next year.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Now, well, dare we take a look at next year
and we can which we can can we won't because
there's gonna be the things in the quote unquote off
season too. You got to happen, but let's let's look
in it because you got more exciting news to talk about.
You kind of teased us a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
I did, I did, I did?

Speaker 8 (20:18):
We we We can officially announce now that we will
have a fourth Lake Murray location at Chile's Landing, which
puts us in that northeast corner of the lake, which
is the only corner we haven't been in so at
this point. So we will be at all points of
the lake that.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Is very close to Liberty, very close.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
To uh oh yeah, on the Hermo side yep, yep.

Speaker 8 (20:40):
On the Hermo side, very close to Catfish Johnny's, that
whole kind of corner of the lake we hadn't really
been in. Now we will be there with a plan
on opening March first, maybe before who knows, but for
sure by March first, with boats in the water and
full operations. And all current club members can you use
that locations, all new club members can use all locations.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Wow. So it sounds to me like, aside from Dominion Energy,
you may be the biggest property owner at Lake Murray.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
We might be, we might be. We're not too sure.

Speaker 8 (21:12):
I wasn't planning on that, let's put it that way,
because I think Dominion makes a lot.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
More than we make.

Speaker 8 (21:16):
But that's okay. They can have the rest of it.
But no, that's the that's the number one thing I'm
super pumped and excited about. I think it's going to
be great for our current members. I think it's to
be great for new members. And in addition to that,
we're adding new boats to the fleet. The plan and
hope is too on the off season here to sell
almost all of our boats and replace them all with

(21:39):
brand new yep.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Really, well, the whole turn over the whole fleet. Huh.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
We're expanding the business into also a new boat.

Speaker 8 (21:44):
Dealership, so oh, yep, I will be. It'll be under
a different brand name. But this way, whatever boats I
don't sell to the world, we'll just sell to ourselves.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
So I just have that fallback position in it.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (21:57):
It is so now that the club's gotten big enough,
we need boats every year, so I can, you know,
buy my twenty to forty boats every year from a
dealership where I could just be the dealership and sell
them to myself. I think it'll make things a lot
more uniform, a lot easier to repair, a lot easier
to fix, keep boats going, things like that. So the
plan moving forward is every year we replace eighty percent

(22:20):
of our fleet with brand new boats.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
I think your fleet right now is the thirties.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Right, Yeah, it's in the mid thirties.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
So and you go to, well, I'm going to guess
that come next spring you're going to have to expand
it from that to cover this fourth location.

Speaker 8 (22:36):
I think, and this is just me thinking out loud,
will probably be a fifty boat fleet and keep our
member to boat ratio at five to one, and then
every year we'll replace thirty five to forty of those boats.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Wow, that's the plan. We'll see how it all plays out.

Speaker 8 (22:55):
And unfortunately I tend to have big plans and then
I tweak them, pivot, and but so far all those tweaks,
pivots and changes have been fun.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
We're gonna do that, Yep.

Speaker 8 (23:06):
We're gonna carry scaub jet boats, which will also include
Scaum wakesurf boats, which are super awesome. Well, we got
fifteen of those coming in shortly.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (23:17):
And then the trytons I believe we're gonna carry Sylvan
will be our trytoon brand with that. What I love
about Sylvan is they make a version that has a
raar double lounger that folds up into a bar with
four barstools at it and helly d cup holders. It's
really pretty cool. So we're gonna add that to the

(23:40):
fleet for sure, because who doesn't.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Want a bar on their boat, you know.

Speaker 8 (23:44):
And and they've got some other great configurations as well
that we're gonna add to the fleet and change things
up a little bit. Again, It's more about feeding my
addiction more than anything else. Like, there's a lot of
things that at a mid fifty year old guy I
could be involved in, and uh, this is probably the
healthiest addiction I could find.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Just just buying boats and having fun. That's the plan, right,
doesn't sound bad to me?

Speaker 6 (24:09):
Man?

Speaker 8 (24:10):
Now I'm gonna die someday anyways, I might as well
enjoy it till I get there. So at this point
that's my addiction, and I'm just going to keep feeding it.
I'm not going to stop myself.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
An addiction that probably won't hasten your demise, but.

Speaker 8 (24:22):
Actually less than some others would, Right, so yeah, that's
My wife may kill me if I keep buying too
many boats or expanding or growing. But it's it's really fun.
And the more I see different things related the boats,
the more I say, yeah, my my members need that
because I need that.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
And if I.

Speaker 8 (24:41):
Think it's cool, they're gonna think it's cool, and we're
just going to keep doing it.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
So now now that we get to this part of
the year now where obviously boat traffic on the lake
slows down, it is one of my favorite times you
to get out there because I love it.

Speaker 8 (24:54):
Waters still warm, sun still out, and a lot less
people are out. So you want to enjoy the peacefulness
that Lake Murray has. Usually you got to go find
a cove. No one else is going to find that peacefulness.
Now you can find that almost anywhere on the lake.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
It's it. I agree with you. It's kind of my
favorite time of year.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Oh absolutely, But did you guys ramp up other things
that you do all you long, but the focus starts
to get more into other things that are are our
benefits of being a member of the Carefrey bol Club
and Lee Murray.

Speaker 8 (25:25):
Yep, on the off season, we ramp up our member
mingles a little bit. The last one we had we
had a singer come out and play songs and you know,
his guitar and so forth, super super good time with
drinks and pizzas and so forth. And now we've got
the Kentucky USC game. We've got tailgate spots for that
are all put together. We'll bring out the tailgate trailer

(25:47):
and cook up burgers and brats and beers and all
the other fun things that go with anything butt boating.
So well, we'll enjoy that game, and then we'll maybe
get another tailgate game going as well well, or member mingle.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
At the Thirsty Gator when.

Speaker 8 (26:05):
When either USC or Clemson's playing, maybe when they're playing
each other, and we'll just continue to do off season
fun stuff because I got to do something with my.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Life, well, and you've got the facilities that wish to
do it.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely all right.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
So adding a fourth location, maybe we should talk about
where all you're going to be where you are now,
and where all you're going to be as you continue
your you know, you're your domination of Lake Murray real
estate here in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 8 (26:30):
So we'll be at Lake Murray Resort, which is our
biggest location over in Leesville there on the I call
that the south west corner of the lake maybe.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
And then we'll be at a beautiful place by the
way it is we're and we come into that to
to to dock there and you come in and you
see that beautiful building there.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
We're enjoying.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
You got the restaurant, and you've got the next door
to of the outdoor area and the stage and the.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Beach club and beach club.

Speaker 8 (26:59):
I expect on the off season we'll be doing some
capital improvements to the property. I want to powerwash and
paint the roof and things like that to spruce it
up a little bit for next season. We've got Thirsty
Gator operating out of there, Bucks pizzas operating out of there.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Both doing really well. People enjoying both.

Speaker 8 (27:16):
I know Thirsty Gator has a karaoke going on, and
I'm not personally a fan of karaoke, but I fully
recognize that people are.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
It's not for me, but you know there's live music.
You do, Yeah, you do.

Speaker 8 (27:28):
You you enjoy. It won't be me, but you enjoy.
So yeah, that's going really well. Then on the north
west side of the lake at Fat Frogs Marina, which
used to be Afraid not Doolittles, is open there. I
ate there yesterday. In fact, I think their food is awesome.
We've got the boat club out of there going really well.
More and more members are joining from the north side

(27:49):
of the lake and then back on the south side
I'm gonna call it Mid Lake, not far from South
Shore Marina. We've got Lakeside, which is our currently our
newest local that's going really well.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
It's where it's behind what used to be Charlie Fisherman's.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Wharf, yes which is now Lakeside Lakeside Restaurant.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yeah, and thankfully they've kept the old motif that Charlie.

Speaker 8 (28:10):
That was the charm with Charlie and it's still it's
still just as charming as ever, like you walked into.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
A nineteen fifties black and white movie or something.

Speaker 8 (28:16):
I loved it, kind of like hanging out in your
parents' basement back in nineteen seventy four.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Right, Yeah, So that's yeah.

Speaker 8 (28:23):
So we've got that location there with six boats out
of that location going great. And then now we'll have
our fourth location in that northeast corner near near Liberty
near Catfish Johnny's that same kind of bay that they're
both back in. She Lea's landing will be up and
operating there by May first, I'm sorry, by March first.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
March first, okay, excellent, let's crunch some numbers here, shall
we shure this every now and then? Because you're listening
this morning and maybe you're thinking, okay, well, gosh, you
know it's boating season is over. Why will get involved
right up? But make plans for twenty twenty six, correct, Now,
it won't be long before all the boat show is

(29:06):
going to be popping up, right. That's usually about February.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
It is.

Speaker 8 (29:08):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know the exact time for this
coming year, but it's usually in February.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Okay. And there are a lot of those around here,
m h, a lot of great boat dealers, but you're
gonna be one of them.

Speaker 8 (29:17):
In twenty We will be there as a boat dealer.
Lake Life Marine is the boat brand for the boat dealership. Yep, okay, yep.
We'll have new boats there. We're going to do a
little bit of a different approach. We're going to do
a Nohagel pricing. We're going to have a lot of
value ads so we'll do your first twenty hour service
for free. We'll do your first year detailing for free.

(29:38):
We're going to be operating a boat repair business out
of Chile's landing. So you buy your boat from us,
you can drive it back to the dock and get
a lot of value ads for buying a boat from us.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Right, so you get options in twenty twenty six, whether
you buy or whether you again become a member of
the care Free boat Club. So again, let's compare a
contrast to two and just just just do a little
number crunching here.

Speaker 8 (30:01):
The best way to look at it is to be
a member of a good boat club, you should have
great access to the water. So the boat club needs
to keep a low member to boat ratio. Care Free
allows us to go ten to one. As of today,
we're at four to one, so we keep a very
low member to boat ratio so you can get out.

(30:21):
And the cost of being a boat club member is
a third the cost of owning a boat.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
So that just sounds crazy, right.

Speaker 8 (30:28):
It does sound a little bit crazy, but if you
start adding it up, it really does add up. I mean,
I'm there's people who will always want to own a boat,
and sure, more power to you, especially if you live
on the lake. I'd have a boat at the end
of my dock all day long. But if you live
off the lake, you need to trailer your boat, you
need to pay for a slip, and you need all that.
I mean, the cost of a slip on Lake Murray's

(30:49):
three hundred bucks a month anywhere you go. That's the
average cost of a slip. Cost to be a member
of carefree boat clubs three hundred ninety five bucks. So
for ninety five dollars more than the cost of your slip,
you get a boat, and get thirty five boats, right,
and you get the kind of boat you want on
the day you want to do that activity, whether it's tubing, skiing,
wake surfing, fishing. That's the other side advantage that's not financial.

(31:15):
You can't find a boat that'll do everything you want
to do on the lake. You can find a boat
that'll do some things, but not that'll do everything. Boat clubs,
if they're properly running set up, they'll have a boat
for everything on the planet you want to do.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
So you get the cost factor, and then you've got,
of course the time factor.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
The time which that's probably for more for most people,
a bigger thing.

Speaker 8 (31:39):
It's hard to find the time if you own your
own boat, to clean it, maintain it, drop it in
the water, pull it out of the water, make sure
it's working, get it to the mechanic. All the stuff
that just eats into your day when a three hour
fun time on the lake is all of a sudden,
a six hour time on the lake because you've had

(32:00):
to do all this prep and all this back end stuff.
Whether whether it's even if it's just putting the cover
on the boat. I don't know if you've ever had
to do that. Oh, yes, it's terrible, and it's not
a two minute job for one person.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
It's a and when.

Speaker 8 (32:13):
It's hot outside, yes, and you've been out on the
water all day.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, yep.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
I kind of like this bat to a football game.
All right. You can go to the football game, yes,
and you know, a three hour game or whatever and
enjoy yourself. But it takes a whole day.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
It does.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
By the time you get up and you get prepped,
and you go through the traffic and all that, and
you get back home and you've invested in an entire day.

Speaker 8 (32:38):
An entire day, and it's been exhausting. You've had a
great time, but it's been exhausting, yep.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
And you know, owning your own boat and then having
to go through all that is kind of like the
same thing. Imagine this, though, because I've done this before.
You hop out there, hop on a boat, spend three
hours on the lake and enjoy yourself and still back
at home in time to watch the football game.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Absolutely, which it really is hard to do.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
If you own your own boat.

Speaker 8 (33:00):
It's I'm not going to say it's impossible, but it's
it's a lot more work. And now with kids being
involved and all the activities kids are involved in, which
I think is great. Yeah, and everything that goes with that,
everything eats into your time. Whether it's it's your career,
whether it's your family, whether it's your in laws, whether
it's the kids' activities. Everything is eating into your time.

(33:22):
If you enjoy boating, and that is the zen you're
going to get out of life. There's no easier, quicker,
more convenient way than a properly run boat club.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Will there be any off season specials that you can
tell us about it? You're still kind of working some ideas.

Speaker 8 (33:37):
We're working a couple ideas. We think we're going to
have a big November special, okay, because that's officially, in
my opinion, when people really stop voting, we get we
stay busy.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Through most of October.

Speaker 8 (33:51):
The weather's still pretty good out here, yep, we stay busy.
So we're not motivated to give great specials until probably November,
and it's going to be a thirty day special and
that'll be it, okay, and then will the next special
will be the boat Show Special, which will be in February,
and that's not going to be as aggressive as the
November special. I'm really putting a lot of time, effort

(34:14):
and thoughts into what we want to do for November
to kind of get people in preseason so that they're
fully trained, fully ready, and can started joining the boat club.
Because nothing's worse when someone walks in on a Friday
in May and they want to join and they want
to take a boat out that day, and we're like,
there's a little bit of a process, there's a little

(34:35):
bit of training, there's a lot. So we love it
when we get people in preseason they're fully trained and
ready to go so that when the weather breaks and
it's a goofy nice day in early March and you
want to grab a boat, you can just do that.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Right role, Yeah, all right, my friend. Carefree Boat clubs
soon with four locations.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Soon with four, my friend, we appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (34:56):

Good morning.

Speaker 6 (36:09):
This is Larry Harris with Classic Systems. I'm a certified
mold inspector. We can help you test the air in
your home ten minutes per sample, one sample inside, one
sample outside. If we do it in the morning, we'll
have the lab report that afternoon and then we can
discuss with you what protocols you need to take to

(36:30):
clean the air in your home, particularly if you have coughing,
sneezing rashes on your body. This could be because of
mold that's in the air. Let us come do air
testing for you. The fee is only seventy five dollars
per sample and we can get the lab report back
the same day, so you know if you have any

(36:51):
airborne issues in your home. This is Larry Harris with
Classic Systems. Eight three six two six two seven four
eight eight three six six two, seven, four eight.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
The hours flying by already into our final segment this
morning of the Health of Welless Show on one O
three point five FM and five sixty AM. WVOC. Hey,
we appreciate you joining us this morning. We're not done
quite yet though, because Larry Harris, the proprietor of Classic Systems,
is in the house. Larry, good morning to you, sir.

Speaker 6 (37:30):
Good morning here, blessing to be here.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Good to have you as always, my friend. I'm just
curious after all this rain we've been having around here,
so folks may start to discover a few things that
maybe didn't know about their home or their business.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
Absolutely, airborne mole is a common problem, and the more
relative humidity you have, the faster mold can grow. The
relative humility at sixty percent or higher will cause mold
growth inside an environment.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
And your estimation that you've been doing this for a
long long time now.

Speaker 6 (38:03):
Yes, I have since nineteen ninety two.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Out of every ten homes you go into, how many
do you do you find that have excessive humidity level? Yeah,
are there certain areas of the state or of even
the midlands.

Speaker 6 (38:20):
It really doesn't make any difference because you can be
in the north or or anywhere in the country, and
you get sixteen percent most in a surface, you're going
to have mold growth or sixty percent relative humidity. And
it depends on how that is coming about. It could
be from water leaks and a roof or plumbing. Anytime

(38:41):
you have water intrusion, you have the possibility of mold growth.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
So I'm sorry, you could go into a to a
home after all this rain here, for example, and find
that maybe the humidity level is elevated opposed to what
it would have been, you know, before the last week
and a half, So two weeks. I guess, of all
this just because maybe there is some sort of a
water intrusion that didn't exist without all the rain.

Speaker 6 (39:08):
I guess it's always possible. The thing is, you have
to understand that when you google a lot about remediation
of mold, the EPA actually says you use clorox, and
that's the worst thing in the world.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
To the EPA is telling you to do the worst
thing in the world.

Speaker 6 (39:24):
Yeah, Clarox. And so the reason for that Clorox has
a chemical in it called sodium hypochloride that is four
percent and ninety six percent of clorox or bleach is water.
So all bleach does it removes the color and is
feeding ninety six percent moisture to the area. So the

(39:46):
color will go away, but it's going to come back
with a vengeance. So you never use clorox.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Huh. And this is the EPA say to do that.

Speaker 6 (39:54):
That was a statement several years ago. I don't know
if it's still active or not. But the thing that
people are concerned me about is using these big box
stores products that says mole cleaner. Well, if it was
truly a professional product that would clean mole, the people

(40:15):
using it don't know anything about PPE, which is personal
protection equipment, and it could cause rashes or problems with
their health. And that's why the homeowner cannot buy a
professional mold or mediation product.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Well, that was my next question is as a non professional,
can you get your hands on these The answer is.

Speaker 6 (40:35):
No, no, you cannot.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
So you have to be licensed in some way shape or.

Speaker 6 (40:39):
Have to be certified to be by the products which
I use. I use a professional product that has ten
percent hydrogen proxide, and so the products we use will
eradicate mold.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
So these are products are obviously not dangerous to the homeowner,
but it could be dangerous to the personal applying them
if they don't do it the right way.

Speaker 6 (40:57):
Proxide and see, you can go to any and by
thirty percent hid it in proxide, but it's not strong
enough to kill mole, So you have to know what
you're doing.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
We were talking about this last week on the Morning Show.
There is a report out now that says that this
year east of the Rockies we are seeing record breaking
humidity levels. Absolutely, north, south, doesn't matter, anywhere. East of
the Rockies are seeing higher humidity levels this year than
any other time in the past. And the humidity has
been on the rise apparently for the last decade or so.

(41:31):
So just based on that information, I'm gonna guess we're
going to see a lot more places that are having
issues with MOLT. Sports that could spread.

Speaker 6 (41:38):
Could possibly happen here. And the only way you're ever
gonna know if you've got airborne mole is to do
air testing. And if I can do air testing in
the morning, as I did in Saluta for this family,
I had the lab report back that afternoon, so I
can if I do it air testing in the morning,
I can get the lab report back the same day.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
When you do this, and you do it a lot,
how often are you finding there's something out that report
that says something needs to be done.

Speaker 6 (42:10):
I'd say ninety nine percent of all air tests that
I do, there's gonna be elevated mold.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
As a homeowner, absolutely, if you have not had a
test done and you're concerned that maybe you do have
a mold issue or there are the ways of knowing
before you get a profession like yourself out there.

Speaker 6 (42:28):
Well you can, you can. I've got a meter that
will tell me the relative humidity and temperature in an environment.
So if it if it's high, then that's an indication
it could be airborne modl or sixteen percent most in
a surface like a wall of floor, ceiling.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
No, never mind. A couple of years ago gave me
a little there's a little app that I don't know
how well it worked. I don't even know what I
did with it now, I don't guess, but it's a
little app. But it was some sensors, some small sensors.
You can hang them in different places around the house.
In using the app, it would measure claim to measure
of the relative humidity.

Speaker 6 (43:03):
Yeah, she can buy there. So the big monk stores
have those relative meteors.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
We removed.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
I don't know what I did with them, saw yeah,
but it was and I knew at the home we
were living end of the time, because we were right
near a creek and it was always it was one
of those houses where you could put something on the
back deck that claimed to never rust and give it
less than six months and it had rusted. I think
we knew a lot of humidity in that area. And
I remember putting one in the in the crawl space, right,

(43:32):
and the first time I checked that humanity love, Oh
my goodness.

Speaker 6 (43:36):
And see when you've got a crawl space. The thing
that amazed me is years ago, probably forty to fifty
years ago, when people put vapor barriers down, they'd put black.
I've always used white polly, and I used ten mil
and I would stake it down because white polly will
illuminate the crawl space and it's better to visually see

(43:58):
everything in the crawl space than a dark color. And
then the clear polly is not good because when the
sunlight gets through that, it can cause vegetation to grow
underneath that polly.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Okay, typically don't think of sunlight at a cross space
being a big problem, but you got the vents and
everything else. I mean, it can happen.

Speaker 6 (44:17):
There's been so many properties that we have actually remediated
mold and cross spaces. And then because of the relative
humidity and the moisture on the duckwork, dripping moisture on
the floor, we would actually put in a dehumidifier in
the crawl space that have to have the filter change anally,

(44:39):
but it'll eradicate all that moisture and stop the weeping
moisture from duckwork.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
Now, in this case, we're not talking about your typical
run on the mill dehumidifier you might you know.

Speaker 6 (44:49):
Now this is a professional one. Well, actually it has
a drained tube that comes off of it and goes
out of the crawl space to evacuate the moisture out
of the crawl space.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Okay, so you're not going to have zon and buying
one of these.

Speaker 6 (45:02):
You know, and you don't have to empty a pan, right.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
Well, for folks who do put you know, you know,
off the shelf dehumidifiers inside their home, how effective are those, Larry.

Speaker 6 (45:13):
Well, they're pretty effective, But you know there's constant changing
of the pan to eradicate the morsture out of that pan.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
So they do work, but you're not solving the problem.

Speaker 6 (45:26):
Well, no, you gotta find the source of the morsture
or the relative humidity and stop that. It's just like
a roof leak. We're a certified infrared thermographer, which with
an infrared camera that shows me moisture coming through a
ceiling and I can trace it with infrared camera to
locate the source of the morsture.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
That's the problem with the leaks and such. You may
see a leak here, right, but that's not necessarily where
the leak's originating.

Speaker 6 (45:52):
Exactly, because if you've got a slope roof, the leak
could be anywhere and falling with gravity it can come
down to a different area. And I had that at
my beach home in Surfsite. We had a boot on
the top of the roof that was old and had
brought it out the usual suspect. That's why we had

(46:12):
some leaks.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
So you're going out, you can again, as you mentioned,
if you if you go out to a home or
a business in the morning performance tests, you can typically
get that report back by later on that day.

Speaker 6 (46:27):
Yeah, in the afternoon. I don't have that report back
before the end of the day, and I can not
only call the client, but also email the lab report
to the client, so they've got a proof of what
the air tests were.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Okay, what happens next, well, the next thing.

Speaker 6 (46:42):
For example, in this one client, they decided to get
the pure Are fifty because it'll do three hundred and
twenty five square feet and as low as the mole
spores were, it still is a little elevated. Even if
fifty spores in that area, that's not extremely high, but
it can cause reaction to clients that are allergic to

(47:06):
these specific mold fores. So the little pure Are fifty
is an excellent little purefier to clean the air.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
So in this case, it just required putting in one
of the pure air systems. Right. Other cases, though, it's
going to require some something more than just that.

Speaker 6 (47:23):
Right, we do have a product that we use and
we put it in a cold air mister, and we've
done this with a lot of universities that won't fog
the area with this antimicrobial do not only remove bacteria
and microbial and mold spores, so it's very effective in fogging.
The fog is like a fog you drive a car through.

(47:43):
It doesn't saturate your windshield. And this doesn't make areas wet.
It's a fog that penetrates the whole area. And seeing
wood surfaces, wood is porous, and see, people don't realize
that if there's mole growing on wood, there's the roots
of the mold that's in the pores and that's called haifi.
So we have to eradicate all that out of the

(48:05):
pores so it won't come back.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
But at some point, I mean you still you have
to attack the source of it where it's coming from, right,
I mean just in this, you know, revolving.

Speaker 6 (48:16):
Again in a cross space. It could be relative humidity,
or it could be the duckwork that is weeping moisture,
and we run into that quite often. It's not a
common problem, but we do run into it. And so
a lot of times the HVAC company can correct that
because the speed of air coming through that duckwork with
relative humidity will call the cause of weeping.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
So if you're going to have a mold issue inside
a home, or are you telling us that, chances are
pretty good that's originating in the cross space.

Speaker 6 (48:46):
It could be gear in. See years ago when when
they built a home, contractors built a home, the electricians
and plumbers would drill holes through the subflooring or the jaysts,
and they don't insulate the home. So that's an open
breach in the integrity of the inside of the home.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
Right. But it sounds like a lot of this may
been coming in through your through your events, through your ductwork.

Speaker 6 (49:09):
Well, it could come through anywhere that has a breach
in the interrogative of the seal of the home. And
another thing, if you've got a pretty good breach, you
can have mice to come opinion.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Yeah, there's that. Yeah. I recall it a home we
owned years ago. I discovered because I'm not sure I
ever told my wife this. I hope you're not listening
right now, But walked into the master bathroom one day
and curled up in the in the corner was a snake.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Yeah. And after dispatching of said snake, I started to
h how did he get in here? Opened up one
of the cabinets. This was a home we actually had
built years ago. Wow, and discovered that where the the
plumbing fixtures came in for the sink. The hole they
caught was a lot bigger than the than the pipe itself.
Oh yeah, so that was a noble Okay, that's that's

(49:58):
how he got here. They bake stuff at Goose stuff.
It feels it up right. My next stop was to
the big box store to grab that in a hurry. Absolutely,
I don't think I ever mentioned that. I hope she's
not listening.

Speaker 6 (50:09):
That was a couple of houses ago, So no worries
years gone by.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
Yeah, exactly, That's not what you want to do, is
walking to your bathroom. Was he a snake in the corner?

Speaker 6 (50:18):
Absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
But interestingly enough, though, on the flip side of this,
the other thing that has happened years ago was we
started sealing up houses a lot tighter than they were before,
which leads to another problem.

Speaker 6 (50:33):
That's exactly right. That was back in the seventies when
the president told every homeowner to put insulated glass storm
winders up, make sure your home was air tight so
you're not losing energy during the old crisis. Yeah, and
so when we did that, we made our homes so
air tight it couldn't breathe. And so that could cause

(50:53):
a lot of problems too, because if you get the
relative humidity too low below forty percent and have sinus
problems because it'll dry it out, so that there's a
downside to that also.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Gotta find that perfect balance, don't you.

Speaker 6 (51:08):
Yeah, that's why the air pure fires are so effective,
because it duplicates fresh air, mountain fresh air. You know,
a little bit of ozone, a little bit of ultra
violet light that creates a hydrogen peroxide. Also the negative
and positive ionization that goes through every wall in your

(51:28):
home six thousand negative ions per cubic centimeters to four
thousand positive. We put negative impositive charges on particles in
the air. It makes all of them clump together, get heavy,
settle out of the air so you're not breathing it.
And according to doctor Larry Arland at Wright State University,
the average adult takes twenty three thousand breasts every twenty

(51:48):
four hours and we ingest into our lungs thirty two
pounds of dirty polluted.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Air, thirty two pounds worth.

Speaker 6 (51:55):
Thirty two pounds every day every day.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Oh okay, I be thinking you need something like this,
but I can you gonna You'll you'll see a different
you'll feel a difference.

Speaker 6 (52:04):
Amen.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
The moment you put it in a home. So it
comes in a variety of sizes depending on your knees.

Speaker 6 (52:10):
Right, the pure are three thousand, it does up to
three thousand square feet. The Pure fifteen hundred that you
and your family got does fifteen hundred square feet. Then
the Pure Are fifty does three hundred and twenty five
square feet. We have a lot of dorm rooms that
buy those to go into the dorm room, and.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
You might want to send your kid off to school
with one of those yourself.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
And it makes it well, it goes right in the.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
Water to outlet.

Speaker 6 (52:33):
Yeah, but the little peerre of fifty makes a wonderful gift.
We had one client that had a business and he
bought one for all of his employees. So that was
a blessing.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
There you go, keep one of the job, Keep keep
out of there. You are right, Larry Harris Classic Systems.
