we need to know. Well, you can do that too.
You can book an in home design console with us
at house Whisper dot Design, house Whisper Dot Design. All right,
(01:52):
the time has come to go to the phones. Always
something I look forward to every show. Let's talk to Suzanne.
Hey Suzanne, welcome home.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yay, good morning. I'm going to be buying a roof
in the next year reroofing my house.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I haven't really started to research that yet.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I just know it's coming.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
But what I did look into quickly, like a quick
Google search, was how much is solar panels? And they
seemed ridiculously expensive for my current energy use.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I don't run air conditioning.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
A lot, I live alone, I'm well insulated, so it
just seemed kind of like, yeah, that's a no for me.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
But I also don't want to be foolish looking down
the road. I know a roof is a thirty year decision,
and if it's more smart, if it's more intelligent to
buy a solar now, so I don't regret it in
five or ten years.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I'd want to do that when I was buying a roof.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I think, help, got you, got you, and you know
what you're thinking through it really really well. So I'll
just round out your your comments or your questions with
a couple of commons. One is, yeah, if you're reroofing
and you don't have solar and you're thinking about the possibility,
now is the time to do it now. It's not
(03:13):
that the solar needs to go on before the roof
or after the roof, or it doesn't really matter. Doesn't
really matter unless you're doing a heavy rigid tile roof
or a Spanish tile roof. That those roofing situations, I
would always encourage you know whether or not you're going
to do solar, because in those situations we may actually
(03:34):
remove roofing tile and replace it with asphalt composition tile
underneath where the solar panels are going, so it's a
different kind of that way. Instead of your panels sticking
way way up above your roofline. They can kind of
be they appear embedded into those thicker roofing materials. But
(03:54):
if it's asphalt composition shingles, it really doesn't matter whether
you know, we do that now or we do it
after the roof. But it's good to think it through.
It really is good to think it through. As far
as solar itself goes, you've got to evaluate well, I
shouldn't say you have to evaluate it. What you should
do is you call a reputable solar company and they
(04:18):
all work the same way. In this regard. All the
reputable companies work the same way. They should be able
to do a quick solar analysis of your home via
Google Earth and their satellite systems. They'll zero in on
your address. They've got software that enables them to guestimate
and track exposure to sun, how much, how big your
(04:44):
energy bill is, and the cost of a system to
bring you to net zero. That's your goal with a
solar system is to go net zero at the end
of the year. It means that some months you're going
to be paying a little bit more of your power
bill when there's not as much sun out other months,
you're going to to be like way over producing, which
is awesome and scoring that up. But by the end
(05:05):
of the year, your bills and your credits balance out
to like I didn't pay any electricity this year. That's
the solar that to Tina and I have on our home.
It's a net zero system. We have just enough panels
that at the end of the year we don't pay
for any of our electricity. And because of that, Okay,
that's always a good idea. Now there is a threshold,
(05:27):
and I couldn't tell you right now, Susan, in all honesty,
exactly where the threshold is for southern California. But there
is always an energy threshold where you know, I mean,
if you're only paying fifty I'll put it this way,
I'll set a ridiculous number. If you're only paying fifty
dollars a month for your electricity bill, then then then
(05:50):
solar is not going to pay for itself very quickly.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Right, I'm not being funny.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
That's close to where I am part of the year.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I don't use a lot of energy.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Right understood, So so so again a reputable solar company,
and this is without committing to anything. This is just
the very first conversation. They should be able to tell you, listen,
with our systems, whether you lease or buy, we're looking
for customers. We're going to help customers who are paying
one hundred and fifty dollars or more on average every month,
(06:21):
or one hundred and seventy five dollars more. You know,
they'll tell you where the threshold is, where it would
really make sense that if you got your solar, it
would pay itself off quickly and or you know, change
your energy profile pretty quickly. That's all free upfront information
and conversation that you can have with a reputable solar company.
(06:45):
And that's what So that's you go ahead and pull
the trigger and have a conversation with somebody about it
so you know exactly where you stand in the long run.
This is the second part and the last bit of
my answer. In the long run, of course, solo is
a great idea. It's a great idea whether you buy
or lease a system in general. And why is that Well,
(07:08):
because it's a great idea because solar keeps producing during
a natural disaster, and so you've got the ability to
access energy for your home even when the power company
has shut everything down. That's a good idea. It's also
a good idea because and this is a this is
an unbroken trend. Since we're talking trends today, power costs
(07:33):
are rising on average about four percent every year. So
if you take a look at that, and you look
at your power costs over the next twenty to thirty years,
and the fact that a solar system brings you to
zero while everybody else's energy costs are going up, a
really well installed system is going to save you money
(07:57):
long term. Long term, it's going to save over two
or three decades, it's going to save you tens of
thousands of dollars. But short term, if you have very
low energy consumption, it's not necessarily a game changer tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Right, Okay, all right, thanks for your time.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
All right, good luck with everything that you're doing. There.
You're on the right track. I know it is all right.
When we come back, more of your calls your Home
with Dean Sharp, the House Whisper.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
We are talking trends and predictions this weekend, this final
weekend of twenty twenty four. But right now, I'm taking calls.
Excuse me, So I got to go back to I
need to slip my coffee. Hang on, Oh dang, that
was worth it. All right, let's go back to the phones.
I want to talk to Tammy. Hey, Tammy, welcome home.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Good morning, Jane. This is so excited to be able
to speak with you in Hello to Tina. Oh well,
I wonder what is the best way to remove mold
in the bathroom. I know that sometimes it just needs
to be cleaned, it's not a big deal. And sometimes
I've heard of toxic mold. It could be behind walls.
(09:21):
How can I tell the difference and what's the best
way to remove it?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Okay, here we go. It's a biggie. It's a big question.
Actually it's not. It's it's it's just a question that
triggers a lot of things, the whole mold discussion. Uh So,
first of all, I am not a toxicologist, and so
what you're about to hear comes from my experience as
a builder and having encountered this multiple times. Just also,
(09:50):
I want everybody who's listening to understand I don't want
you to get triggered by what I'm about to say,
because I'm not leaving anybody out. Okay. So here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Mold.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Mold is tricky on just about every level because technically speaking,
there are very very very few toxic molds in the world. Okay,
toxic meaning the mold in and of themselves. Now, several
molds create micotoxins, and those things can be toxic to
(10:28):
human beings. Okay. And when mold really is allowed to
grow and thrive and colonize and develop, the biggest concern
that most people have with mold is when a mold
is doing so well that it's now starting to throw
off spores into the air to reproduce itself and to
(10:50):
grow even more mold sports. So say, mold one, oh one,
let's understand mold. Mold loves warm, dark, moist places. Okay.
So as a result of that, okay, when a mold
is allowed to thrive in a home environment and it
(11:12):
starts throwing spores into the air, those mold spores cause
for a lot of people respiratory issues because you breathe
them in and once a spore is in your lungs,
guess what it has found? A warm, moist, dark place.
Not a great thing to have in your lungs, mold
spores and so. But to be clear about this, okay,
(11:37):
and this is from the CDC, this is from that.
There are all sorts of scientific sources for this. Most
molds are not toxic in and of themselves, and yet
there are a lot of people that are mold sensitive,
especially to mold spores. And by the way, there are
mold spores in the air everywhere we go, and so
(12:00):
it's also a matter of concentration and continual exposure. Okay,
mold grows in our homes simply because those spores are
in the air, and you find a dark and moist
enough place and something settles there and and it's allowed
to grow. So I just want to give a general
(12:21):
understanding that it's true that people get sick from mold exposure,
but it doesn't necessarily mean the mold itself is toxic.
And people are like, well, black mold is now, that's
not true either, some black mold, A few black molds,
and know, there is no way for a homeowner to
(12:44):
identify a toxic mold versus a non toxic mold, zero
ways to visually identified, because they are there's like one
hundred thousand of them out there and they almost all
look alike. So any any website or advice telling you, well,
here's how you can identify a toxic mold, that's generally
a mold remediation company that wants to make a buck
(13:06):
by telling you you should probably just get rid of
it all. So anyway, black mold, green mold, red mole. Okay,
So the point is this, again, I am not trying
to downplay that some people are very very mold sensitive.
In fact, if you have a mold allergy, right, it's
(13:29):
very likely that it will do more health harm to you.
If you are allergic to non toxic molds. Then the
average person without a mold allergy has in exposure to
a toxic mold. So I hope everybody's understand the nuance
to this. So that's all right. When it comes to
(13:51):
our home mold that you see growing on a surface somewhere,
you should clean it. And you can clean it very
easily with soap and water and a little bit of
black and it's done. Molds are not, you know, super strong,
powerful agents that will fight against exposure to sunlight or
chemicals like bleach. They simply won't survive it. The concern
(14:16):
that most people have about mold is usually unfounded in
my opinion. When you see a mold growing on a
surface somewhere, clean it, throw some bleach on it, so
soap and water, get it cleaned up. If there's been
a major plumbing leak or a roof leak in which
water has made it inside a wall cavity, then we
(14:41):
need to expose and open up those cavities, dry them out,
and make sure there's no mold growth there so that
they don't thrive. Because once they're thriving in those cavities,
that's the kind of mold growth that causes problems not
just to human beings who are living in the space,
but also problems to the actual structure of the wood
(15:04):
and the framing as well. And so, how do you
know that you've not got mold behind your walls? Well,
if you haven't had a major leak or a major
moisture intrusion on the house, you don't have mold inside
your walls. Okay, you just see it occasionally on the
surface somewhere. And if you've had a major leak and
(15:25):
haven't opened up those walls, that's where you need to
address the remediation. Does that make sense.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Yeah, that's a great answer. And along those lines, just
to carry on with what you said some years back,
we did have a major leak downstairs, but it's a
whole living room. But the insurance came right away. They
cut off about two feet a wall around that whole
perimeter of that room. You know, dried it out everything.
And so if it's been dry for a long time,
(15:54):
I'm assuming that once it's patched up and it's you know,
it's been dry for a long time, if that can
be resurrected, you know, because it's dark now, and you know,
but as long as it's tried, I'm assuming that it
can't return and we can safety. We still the walls,
because I'm ambarsed to say those walls still have not
been catched up. But it's been dried for a long time.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
We're talking to absolutely absolutely, no question, Tammy. If it's
been dried for a long time, you are safe to
close it all up and to get back to your
life and you don't have to worry about it. You
really don't, because mold doesn't do dry, it doesn't do daylight,
it doesn't do UV light, and and so you know,
(16:37):
it's it's not an alien creature. It's it really needs
those conditions to thrive. So you're good to go. Tammy,
thank you so much for your call and for listening
to the show, and for all of your support. It's
time for me to move on when we return back
to Trends and Predictions for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Right now, you're listening to Home with Dean sharp Onto
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Hey, somebody was just commenting asking like, hey, this is
a no burn alert. Can you explain what that is
all about, Dean, Well, very quickly. Here in southern California,
the Air Quality Management District the AQMD, they, like Eileen
was saying on the news report here, they will from
(17:25):
time to time, usually from November through February, just because
winter months is when people tend to use their fireplaces,
wood burning fireplaces more often issue no burn alerts. And
now the question was why today versus any other day. Well,
they I'm not exactly sure how they do all of
(17:45):
their actual particulate monitoring, but they do monitor pollution particulates
in the air. And usually I'll just tell you this,
it usually has to do with stagnant weather. Okay, now,
that's not a very nice way of describing a beautiful,
misty morning. But it's been cloudy and overcast for a
(18:09):
couple of three days here. It is the holiday season,
and uh, there's no wind happening out there, not much wind.
That's what they mean by stagnant weather. Okay, so we've
got cloud cover that holds stuff in. We've got no
wind to blow air particulates away. And it's the holiday season.
(18:31):
It's the holiday. No, it's a holiday season. And more
people are using a wood burning fireplaces right now, so
chances are particulate contamination in the air is just higher.
And the AQMD is like no, I just want to
draw the line right there. So there you go there,
like it or not. That's the Uh. Those are usually
the contributing factors, all right. I said I was going
(18:53):
to get back to design prediction talk. I want to
do that. But also I realize I have neglected a
priority caller, so I'm going to take one more call.
I want to talk to Bruce. Hey, Bruce, welcome home.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Thank you Dean for taking my call. I've got a
single story house in Wittier to slab house and the
washer and dryer or in the kitchen and once a
month I have to snake out where the washer drains
into the pipe. I've got an electric drill goes down
about twenty feet that does the problem. I can feel
(19:28):
it hitting stuffed in there. And my question to you
is what do you think of hydro jetting.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Hydro Jetting is when plumbers run a specialized high pressure
oscillating nozzle system down a drain line. Hydro Jetting can
be awesome. It's a tool, So what do I think
of it? It's a tool in the toolbox. Is it
always the thing that should be used? No, because as
(20:01):
qualified plumbers who use hydrojeting need to evaluate the condition
of drain lines, especially older drain lines, because hydrojeting can
be pretty intensive, pretty violent activity on the inside. Hydrojeting
companies that are like, yeah, use it on any pipe
because it's not as you know, it's not as intense
(20:24):
as a snake or an augur Not true. Hydrojetting can
really mess up an old, already fragile drain line, so
it has to be evaluated first. And usually the way
you evaluate it is by running a camera down in
the system so that we can actually identify what the
heck is going on. So before hydrojeting, my suggestion to
(20:46):
you would always be, especially if every time you run
that snake down you're running into something, you feel like
something is like, you know, whether it's a roof invasion
that keeps regrowing, whether we've got an actual break or
a crack in the pipe or a dislocation in the
(21:09):
drain line. So before we take a tool out of
the toolbox for something like this, and we think of
it like the human body. Right if you're feeling sick
and you come into the emergency room or you're come
into the doctor's office, and you know, no doctor worth
(21:32):
their salt is going to suggest, well, I've got a treatment,
I've got a therapy or a treatment or a surgical
procedure that we should perform on you. Well, okay, that
comes at a point. But what always happens first testing,
diagnostic testing. I want to do a blood panel, I
want to draw some blood. I want to get out
(21:52):
of scope and look inside, you know wherever we're looking inside.
And the same is true with your home. You got
a recurring there, okay, absolutely a recurring problem, which means
we need to get eyes on it. And one of
the great things about living in the twenty first century
is we've got camera technology that can do that. Every
(22:12):
plumber with their salt can run a camera down your
drain line and we will figure out what the heck
is causing Bruce's ongoing recurring problem. If it's roots, that's
one thing. If there's just a bad week pipe there,
that's another thing. If there's a break, that's a whole
(22:33):
different thing. Whether or not hydrojetting is the answer has
to do with what the nature of the problem is.
So diagnosis first.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
You know, that's a very interesting Dean, because about three
years ago I had a guy go on the rough
and have a camera and he said, get up here
and look at this, and it was amazing. It was
an HD picture and it was where the sewer line
goes out to kind of like the street where they connect.
(23:05):
And he said, you have a crack there, and I
could see it. But when I run that snake, I
don't think I'm going out that far. Okay, Okay, but
I agree, Yeah, run a camera first. And I've heard
from other plumbers exactly what you have just said.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yeah, I mean, it's it needs to be the case. Now,
if you've got to crack down line somewhere then, you know,
I don't I don't know. Maybe maybe roots are finding
their way in and actually causing a problem with you know,
a little higher up. I don't know. That's the point is,
I don't know, and so I wouldn't recommend any procedure
(23:45):
augur hydrojet any The very first thing has got to
be because maybe none of those things are are really
the solution. Maybe the solution is that, you know, we've
got a large enough break in the line there that
we need to get down there and act just get
it fixed.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
So right, yeah, he showed me in the front I
don't have any trees in my front yard, but he
showed me. I did thirty years ago, one tree that
I chopped down, but I know those roots lived for years.
But it's right outside the front door where he said,
that's where the break was, according to the camera. And
I just don't know if that would be, you know,
(24:22):
the clod because my electric snake I don't believe goes
that far. But I'm going to have somebody get a
camera down there and look at it again. And I
thank you very much for your time, my friend.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
You are very welcome my friend. Good luck on that. Yeah, guys,
it's always diagnosed first. Don't just grab a tool out
of the toolbox. There are no wonder tools out there.
There's some amazing tools, amazing things we can do to
your home, but we don't just you know, dive right
into surgery, all right. We want to run tests, diagnostic,
(24:58):
differential diagnostics, just like you know a good diagnostician does
for your body. That's what we want to do for
your home. We want to figure out the best of
our ability exactly what is going on before we start
tearing stuff up. Okay, that's always the right way to go, Bruce.
Thanks for your call. All right, when we return, more
thoughts on trends and predictions for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Here we are at the end of another two hours together.
We've got a big show tomorrow where we are continuing
our discussions on trends and predictions for twenty twenty five.
House Whisper style which means useful and not crazy and
not stupid stuff, but inspiring and informative as we always are.
(25:53):
But I'm not done today. I got one more to
throw at you. One that I'm concerned about. This is
this is all this is in so many trend sites
right now here. It is ready maximalism. Maximalism. Uh okay,
(26:14):
what is maximalism. Well, it's the opposite of minimalism. Maximalism
is a style of decor in which, as you could
tell from the name, you put a lot of stuff
in the room, a lot of stuff. What does Dean
think about maximalism? Well, I guess it's an inevitability as
(26:39):
time rolls on that the pendulum swings from one extreme
to the other. Right, We've been on a minimalist trend
for a long time now, and I personally would like
to see that continue. Because minimalism not stark empty everything
out of a room except for a table, a chair,
(27:02):
and a potted plant in a white, bare room. Although
that can be kind of cool, but that's not a
realistic thing. Minimalism engages a lot of longstanding, non trending,
always true architectural principles, principles like hierarchy, where you walk
(27:25):
into a room and you are directed very clearly to
look at kind of what we would call the hero
of the room, the star of the show. Whatever that
feature may be, and then you're directed to look at
another thing and another thing, and all good art works
in that way. And so I have been an advocate
(27:50):
for minimalism in its design approach, not in the extreme,
but just you know, over the years, I have told
you every single year, on multiple occasions, get rid of
some of your stuff. You got too much stuff, And
that just tends to be the case. So what is
Dean's reaction to maximalism. Well, I will give you two
(28:12):
things that concern me. One, I've seen some well done
maximalism before. I mean in the sense that we've covered
every surface of everything with a lot of stuff and
the designer has been able to pull it off. I've
seen it. So I'm giving you my nod of acknowledgment.
(28:36):
But I got to tell you this, even among professional
designers and decorators, pulling off maximalism, in my opinion, very
very rare, pulling it off right, very very rare. And
so we're talking about a rare occurrence among professional decorators
(28:56):
and designers. And when it comes to the homeowner, I
think maximalism is we're encouraging it is a big, big mistake.
After years of begging people to declutter their homes. Now
we're encouraging them to add more stuff and put it
all in the same room. This is not going to
(29:20):
turn out well. So yeah, as you're looking at design
trend sites, Pinterest, Instagram, wherever you're looking, and you see
maximalism in for twenty twenty five, yeah, you know what,
run the other way. Honestly, run the other way. I mean,
everybody's willing, everybody's you know, has the right to try.
(29:43):
Try it with a room. But I will tell you this,
another limit of maximalism is that if it happens throughout
the entire house, I guarantee you it's a massive mistake.
If you want to try one room maximalist, Okay, fine,
give it a try and just expect that it's you know,
(30:04):
odds are against you that you're going to succeed. I'm
just I'm sorry. Maximalism. What you know, just because you've
given a thing a name does not mean that it's
a good idea. And maximalism, for most people is something
to steer clear of because it in and of itself
(30:26):
is a violation of basic human behavioral design principles. And
that's what design and discordant decor is all about it's
all about human beings. So if you walk into a
room and there is literally so much stuff in the
room that you don't know where to look, then that's
(30:49):
a confusing, chaotic room. That's typically what a maximalist room is.
And so how do they work? How do they how
are they? Why is it even a thing? I will
tell you in the world of hierarchy, okay, meaning that
those priority hits right. So everybody, for me to Joanna Gaines,
(31:11):
will tell you that a room needs a hero, It
needs a it needs a star, it needs one thing
that everything else is kind of rotating around.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Every good director, every good artist will tell you that
not every cast member it gets to have an equal role.
There are leading roles, there are right behind them supporting
roles and behind them extras okay, and then there is
just background. And so that's hierarchy in art, in performance art,
(31:48):
in fine art, in architecture, and in design and decor
as well. So the idea that all of these disciplines
agree that there needs to be a star the show,
so you, as the observer of art, can take it in,
can focus and it can have its effect. So why
(32:09):
does maximalism occasionally work or how could it ever possibly work?
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Well?
Speaker 1 (32:15):
It works well in a photograph because the photograph itself
is one thing. It's one thing. It's like, oh, that's
one work of art. So when you see a maximalist
spread in a magazine or on a social media site
or on a Pinterest board, just understand if you find
it appealing, it's because you're staring at everything as one thing.
(32:38):
But if you were to actually walk into that room
and live in there for half an hour, you wouldn't
be enjoying yourself. That's my prediction. So yeah, I have
an opinion on maximalism, and for almost everybody, it's a
thumbs down opinion because I find that it violates human
nature too much. All Right, more of my opinions and
(33:02):

(01:52):
the time has come to go to the phones. Always
something I look forward to every show. Let's talk to Suzanne.
Hey Suzanne, welcome home.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yay, good morning. I'm going to be buying a roof
in the next year reroofing my house.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I haven't really started to research that yet.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I just know it's coming.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
But what I did look into quickly, like a quick
Google search, was how much is solar panels? And they
seemed ridiculously expensive for my current energy use.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I don't run air conditioning.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
A lot, I live alone, I'm well insulated, so it
just seemed kind of like, yeah, that's a no for me.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
But I also don't want to be foolish looking down
the road. I know a roof is a thirty year decision,
and if it's more smart, if it's more intelligent to
buy a solar now, so I don't regret it in
five or ten years.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I'd want to do that when I was buying a roof.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I think, help, got you, got you, and you know
what you're thinking through it really really well. So I'll
just round out your your comments or your questions with
a couple of commons. One is, yeah, if you're reroofing
and you don't have solar and you're thinking about the possibility,
now is the time to do it now. It's not
(03:13):
that the solar needs to go on before the roof
or after the roof, or it doesn't really matter. Doesn't
really matter unless you're doing a heavy rigid tile roof
or a Spanish tile roof. That those roofing situations, I
would always encourage you know whether or not you're going
to do solar, because in those situations we may actually
(03:34):
remove roofing tile and replace it with asphalt composition tile
underneath where the solar panels are going, so it's a
different kind of that way. Instead of your panels sticking
way way up above your roofline. They can kind of
be they appear embedded into those thicker roofing materials. But
(03:54):
if it's asphalt composition shingles, it really doesn't matter whether
you know, we do that now or we do it
after the roof. But it's good to think it through.
It really is good to think it through. As far
as solar itself goes, you've got to evaluate well, I
shouldn't say you have to evaluate it. What you should
do is you call a reputable solar company and they
(04:18):
all work the same way. In this regard. All the
reputable companies work the same way. They should be able
to do a quick solar analysis of your home via
Google Earth and their satellite systems. They'll zero in on
your address. They've got software that enables them to guestimate
and track exposure to sun, how much, how big your
(04:44):
energy bill is, and the cost of a system to
bring you to net zero. That's your goal with a
solar system is to go net zero at the end
of the year. It means that some months you're going
to be paying a little bit more of your power
bill when there's not as much sun out other months,
you're going to to be like way over producing, which
is awesome and scoring that up. But by the end
(05:05):
of the year, your bills and your credits balance out
to like I didn't pay any electricity this year. That's
the solar that to Tina and I have on our home.
It's a net zero system. We have just enough panels
that at the end of the year we don't pay
for any of our electricity. And because of that, Okay,
that's always a good idea. Now there is a threshold,
(05:27):
and I couldn't tell you right now, Susan, in all honesty,
exactly where the threshold is for southern California. But there
is always an energy threshold where you know, I mean,
if you're only paying fifty I'll put it this way,
I'll set a ridiculous number. If you're only paying fifty
dollars a month for your electricity bill, then then then
(05:50):
solar is not going to pay for itself very quickly.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Right, I'm not being funny.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
That's close to where I am part of the year.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I don't use a lot of energy.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Right understood, So so so again a reputable solar company,
and this is without committing to anything. This is just
the very first conversation. They should be able to tell you, listen,
with our systems, whether you lease or buy, we're looking
for customers. We're going to help customers who are paying
one hundred and fifty dollars or more on average every month,
(06:21):
or one hundred and seventy five dollars more. You know,
they'll tell you where the threshold is, where it would
really make sense that if you got your solar, it
would pay itself off quickly and or you know, change
your energy profile pretty quickly. That's all free upfront information
and conversation that you can have with a reputable solar company.
(06:45):
And that's what So that's you go ahead and pull
the trigger and have a conversation with somebody about it
so you know exactly where you stand in the long run.
This is the second part and the last bit of
my answer. In the long run, of course, solo is
a great idea. It's a great idea whether you buy
or lease a system in general. And why is that Well,
(07:08):
because it's a great idea because solar keeps producing during
a natural disaster, and so you've got the ability to
access energy for your home even when the power company
has shut everything down. That's a good idea. It's also
a good idea because and this is a this is
an unbroken trend. Since we're talking trends today, power costs
(07:33):
are rising on average about four percent every year. So
if you take a look at that, and you look
at your power costs over the next twenty to thirty years,
and the fact that a solar system brings you to
zero while everybody else's energy costs are going up, a
really well installed system is going to save you money
(07:57):
long term. Long term, it's going to save over two
or three decades, it's going to save you tens of
thousands of dollars. But short term, if you have very
low energy consumption, it's not necessarily a game changer tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Right, Okay, all right, thanks for your time.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
All right, good luck with everything that you're doing. There.
You're on the right track. I know it is all right.
When we come back, more of your calls your Home
with Dean Sharp, the House Whisper.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
We are talking trends and predictions this weekend, this final
weekend of twenty twenty four. But right now, I'm taking calls.
Excuse me, So I got to go back to I
need to slip my coffee. Hang on, Oh dang, that
was worth it. All right, let's go back to the phones.
I want to talk to Tammy. Hey, Tammy, welcome home.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Good morning, Jane. This is so excited to be able
to speak with you in Hello to Tina. Oh well,
I wonder what is the best way to remove mold
in the bathroom. I know that sometimes it just needs
to be cleaned, it's not a big deal. And sometimes
I've heard of toxic mold. It could be behind walls.
(09:21):
How can I tell the difference and what's the best
way to remove it?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Okay, here we go. It's a biggie. It's a big question.
Actually it's not. It's it's it's just a question that
triggers a lot of things, the whole mold discussion. Uh So,
first of all, I am not a toxicologist, and so
what you're about to hear comes from my experience as
a builder and having encountered this multiple times. Just also,
(09:50):
I want everybody who's listening to understand I don't want
you to get triggered by what I'm about to say,
because I'm not leaving anybody out. Okay. So here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Mold.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Mold is tricky on just about every level because technically speaking,
there are very very very few toxic molds in the world. Okay,
toxic meaning the mold in and of themselves. Now, several
molds create micotoxins, and those things can be toxic to
(10:28):
human beings. Okay. And when mold really is allowed to
grow and thrive and colonize and develop, the biggest concern
that most people have with mold is when a mold
is doing so well that it's now starting to throw
off spores into the air to reproduce itself and to
(10:50):
grow even more mold sports. So say, mold one, oh one,
let's understand mold. Mold loves warm, dark, moist places. Okay.
So as a result of that, okay, when a mold
is allowed to thrive in a home environment and it
(11:12):
starts throwing spores into the air, those mold spores cause
for a lot of people respiratory issues because you breathe
them in and once a spore is in your lungs,
guess what it has found? A warm, moist, dark place.
Not a great thing to have in your lungs, mold
spores and so. But to be clear about this, okay,
(11:37):
and this is from the CDC, this is from that.
There are all sorts of scientific sources for this. Most
molds are not toxic in and of themselves, and yet
there are a lot of people that are mold sensitive,
especially to mold spores. And by the way, there are
mold spores in the air everywhere we go, and so
(12:00):
it's also a matter of concentration and continual exposure. Okay,
mold grows in our homes simply because those spores are
in the air, and you find a dark and moist
enough place and something settles there and and it's allowed
to grow. So I just want to give a general
(12:21):
understanding that it's true that people get sick from mold exposure,
but it doesn't necessarily mean the mold itself is toxic.
And people are like, well, black mold is now, that's
not true either, some black mold, A few black molds,
and know, there is no way for a homeowner to
(12:44):
identify a toxic mold versus a non toxic mold, zero
ways to visually identified, because they are there's like one
hundred thousand of them out there and they almost all
look alike. So any any website or advice telling you, well,
here's how you can identify a toxic mold, that's generally
a mold remediation company that wants to make a buck
(13:06):
by telling you you should probably just get rid of
it all. So anyway, black mold, green mold, red mole. Okay,
So the point is this, again, I am not trying
to downplay that some people are very very mold sensitive.
In fact, if you have a mold allergy, right, it's
(13:29):
very likely that it will do more health harm to you.
If you are allergic to non toxic molds. Then the
average person without a mold allergy has in exposure to
a toxic mold. So I hope everybody's understand the nuance
to this. So that's all right. When it comes to
(13:51):
our home mold that you see growing on a surface somewhere,
you should clean it. And you can clean it very
easily with soap and water and a little bit of
black and it's done. Molds are not, you know, super strong,
powerful agents that will fight against exposure to sunlight or
chemicals like bleach. They simply won't survive it. The concern
(14:16):
that most people have about mold is usually unfounded in
my opinion. When you see a mold growing on a
surface somewhere, clean it, throw some bleach on it, so
soap and water, get it cleaned up. If there's been
a major plumbing leak or a roof leak in which
water has made it inside a wall cavity, then we
(14:41):
need to expose and open up those cavities, dry them out,
and make sure there's no mold growth there so that
they don't thrive. Because once they're thriving in those cavities,
that's the kind of mold growth that causes problems not
just to human beings who are living in the space,
but also problems to the actual structure of the wood
(15:04):
and the framing as well. And so, how do you
know that you've not got mold behind your walls? Well,
if you haven't had a major leak or a major
moisture intrusion on the house, you don't have mold inside
your walls. Okay, you just see it occasionally on the
surface somewhere. And if you've had a major leak and
(15:25):
haven't opened up those walls, that's where you need to
address the remediation. Does that make sense.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Yeah, that's a great answer. And along those lines, just
to carry on with what you said some years back,
we did have a major leak downstairs, but it's a
whole living room. But the insurance came right away. They
cut off about two feet a wall around that whole
perimeter of that room. You know, dried it out everything.
And so if it's been dry for a long time,
(15:54):
I'm assuming that once it's patched up and it's you know,
it's been dry for a long time, if that can
be resurrected, you know, because it's dark now, and you know,
but as long as it's tried, I'm assuming that it
can't return and we can safety. We still the walls,
because I'm ambarsed to say those walls still have not
been catched up. But it's been dried for a long time.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
We're talking to absolutely absolutely, no question, Tammy. If it's
been dried for a long time, you are safe to
close it all up and to get back to your
life and you don't have to worry about it. You
really don't, because mold doesn't do dry, it doesn't do daylight,
it doesn't do UV light, and and so you know,
(16:37):
it's it's not an alien creature. It's it really needs
those conditions to thrive. So you're good to go. Tammy,
thank you so much for your call and for listening
to the show, and for all of your support. It's
time for me to move on when we return back
to Trends and Predictions for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Right now, you're listening to Home with Dean sharp Onto
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Hey, somebody was just commenting asking like, hey, this is
a no burn alert. Can you explain what that is
all about, Dean, Well, very quickly. Here in southern California,
the Air Quality Management District the AQMD, they, like Eileen
was saying on the news report here, they will from
(17:25):
time to time, usually from November through February, just because
winter months is when people tend to use their fireplaces,
wood burning fireplaces more often issue no burn alerts. And
now the question was why today versus any other day. Well,
they I'm not exactly sure how they do all of
(17:45):
their actual particulate monitoring, but they do monitor pollution particulates
in the air. And usually I'll just tell you this,
it usually has to do with stagnant weather. Okay, now,
that's not a very nice way of describing a beautiful,
misty morning. But it's been cloudy and overcast for a
(18:09):
couple of three days here. It is the holiday season,
and uh, there's no wind happening out there, not much wind.
That's what they mean by stagnant weather. Okay, so we've
got cloud cover that holds stuff in. We've got no
wind to blow air particulates away. And it's the holiday season.
(18:31):
It's the holiday. No, it's a holiday season. And more
people are using a wood burning fireplaces right now, so
chances are particulate contamination in the air is just higher.
And the AQMD is like no, I just want to
draw the line right there. So there you go there,
like it or not. That's the Uh. Those are usually
the contributing factors, all right. I said I was going
(18:53):
to get back to design prediction talk. I want to
do that. But also I realize I have neglected a
priority caller, so I'm going to take one more call.
I want to talk to Bruce. Hey, Bruce, welcome home.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Thank you Dean for taking my call. I've got a
single story house in Wittier to slab house and the
washer and dryer or in the kitchen and once a
month I have to snake out where the washer drains
into the pipe. I've got an electric drill goes down
about twenty feet that does the problem. I can feel
(19:28):
it hitting stuffed in there. And my question to you
is what do you think of hydro jetting.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Hydro Jetting is when plumbers run a specialized high pressure
oscillating nozzle system down a drain line. Hydro Jetting can
be awesome. It's a tool, So what do I think
of it? It's a tool in the toolbox. Is it
always the thing that should be used? No, because as
(20:01):
qualified plumbers who use hydrojeting need to evaluate the condition
of drain lines, especially older drain lines, because hydrojeting can
be pretty intensive, pretty violent activity on the inside. Hydrojeting
companies that are like, yeah, use it on any pipe
because it's not as you know, it's not as intense
(20:24):
as a snake or an augur Not true. Hydrojetting can
really mess up an old, already fragile drain line, so
it has to be evaluated first. And usually the way
you evaluate it is by running a camera down in
the system so that we can actually identify what the
heck is going on. So before hydrojeting, my suggestion to
(20:46):
you would always be, especially if every time you run
that snake down you're running into something, you feel like
something is like, you know, whether it's a roof invasion
that keeps regrowing, whether we've got an actual break or
a crack in the pipe or a dislocation in the
(21:09):
drain line. So before we take a tool out of
the toolbox for something like this, and we think of
it like the human body. Right if you're feeling sick
and you come into the emergency room or you're come
into the doctor's office, and you know, no doctor worth
(21:32):
their salt is going to suggest, well, I've got a treatment,
I've got a therapy or a treatment or a surgical
procedure that we should perform on you. Well, okay, that
comes at a point. But what always happens first testing,
diagnostic testing. I want to do a blood panel, I
want to draw some blood. I want to get out
(21:52):
of scope and look inside, you know wherever we're looking inside.
And the same is true with your home. You got
a recurring there, okay, absolutely a recurring problem, which means
we need to get eyes on it. And one of
the great things about living in the twenty first century
is we've got camera technology that can do that. Every
(22:12):
plumber with their salt can run a camera down your
drain line and we will figure out what the heck
is causing Bruce's ongoing recurring problem. If it's roots, that's
one thing. If there's just a bad week pipe there,
that's another thing. If there's a break, that's a whole
(22:33):
different thing. Whether or not hydrojetting is the answer has
to do with what the nature of the problem is.
So diagnosis first.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
You know, that's a very interesting Dean, because about three
years ago I had a guy go on the rough
and have a camera and he said, get up here
and look at this, and it was amazing. It was
an HD picture and it was where the sewer line
goes out to kind of like the street where they connect.
(23:05):
And he said, you have a crack there, and I
could see it. But when I run that snake, I
don't think I'm going out that far. Okay, Okay, but
I agree, Yeah, run a camera first. And I've heard
from other plumbers exactly what you have just said.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yeah, I mean, it's it needs to be the case. Now,
if you've got to crack down line somewhere then, you know,
I don't I don't know. Maybe maybe roots are finding
their way in and actually causing a problem with you know,
a little higher up. I don't know. That's the point is,
I don't know, and so I wouldn't recommend any procedure
(23:45):
augur hydrojet any The very first thing has got to
be because maybe none of those things are are really
the solution. Maybe the solution is that, you know, we've
got a large enough break in the line there that
we need to get down there and act just get
it fixed.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
So right, yeah, he showed me in the front I
don't have any trees in my front yard, but he
showed me. I did thirty years ago, one tree that
I chopped down, but I know those roots lived for years.
But it's right outside the front door where he said,
that's where the break was, according to the camera. And
I just don't know if that would be, you know,
(24:22):
the clod because my electric snake I don't believe goes
that far. But I'm going to have somebody get a
camera down there and look at it again. And I
thank you very much for your time, my friend.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
You are very welcome my friend. Good luck on that. Yeah, guys,
it's always diagnosed first. Don't just grab a tool out
of the toolbox. There are no wonder tools out there.
There's some amazing tools, amazing things we can do to
your home, but we don't just you know, dive right
into surgery, all right. We want to run tests, diagnostic,
(24:58):
differential diagnostics, just like you know a good diagnostician does
for your body. That's what we want to do for
your home. We want to figure out the best of
our ability exactly what is going on before we start
tearing stuff up. Okay, that's always the right way to go, Bruce.
Thanks for your call. All right, when we return, more
thoughts on trends and predictions for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Here we are at the end of another two hours together.
We've got a big show tomorrow where we are continuing
our discussions on trends and predictions for twenty twenty five.
House Whisper style which means useful and not crazy and
not stupid stuff, but inspiring and informative as we always are.
(25:53):
But I'm not done today. I got one more to
throw at you. One that I'm concerned about. This is
this is all this is in so many trend sites
right now here. It is ready maximalism. Maximalism. Uh okay,
(26:14):
what is maximalism. Well, it's the opposite of minimalism. Maximalism
is a style of decor in which, as you could
tell from the name, you put a lot of stuff
in the room, a lot of stuff. What does Dean
think about maximalism? Well, I guess it's an inevitability as
(26:39):
time rolls on that the pendulum swings from one extreme
to the other. Right, We've been on a minimalist trend
for a long time now, and I personally would like
to see that continue. Because minimalism not stark empty everything
out of a room except for a table, a chair,
(27:02):
and a potted plant in a white, bare room. Although
that can be kind of cool, but that's not a
realistic thing. Minimalism engages a lot of longstanding, non trending,
always true architectural principles, principles like hierarchy, where you walk
(27:25):
into a room and you are directed very clearly to
look at kind of what we would call the hero
of the room, the star of the show. Whatever that
feature may be, and then you're directed to look at
another thing and another thing, and all good art works
in that way. And so I have been an advocate
(27:50):
for minimalism in its design approach, not in the extreme,
but just you know, over the years, I have told
you every single year, on multiple occasions, get rid of
some of your stuff. You got too much stuff, And
that just tends to be the case. So what is
Dean's reaction to maximalism. Well, I will give you two
(28:12):
things that concern me. One, I've seen some well done
maximalism before. I mean in the sense that we've covered
every surface of everything with a lot of stuff and
the designer has been able to pull it off. I've
seen it. So I'm giving you my nod of acknowledgment.
(28:36):
But I got to tell you this, even among professional
designers and decorators, pulling off maximalism, in my opinion, very
very rare, pulling it off right, very very rare. And
so we're talking about a rare occurrence among professional decorators
(28:56):
and designers. And when it comes to the homeowner, I
think maximalism is we're encouraging it is a big, big mistake.
After years of begging people to declutter their homes. Now
we're encouraging them to add more stuff and put it
all in the same room. This is not going to
(29:20):
turn out well. So yeah, as you're looking at design
trend sites, Pinterest, Instagram, wherever you're looking, and you see
maximalism in for twenty twenty five, yeah, you know what,
run the other way. Honestly, run the other way. I mean,
everybody's willing, everybody's you know, has the right to try.
(29:43):
Try it with a room. But I will tell you this,
another limit of maximalism is that if it happens throughout
the entire house, I guarantee you it's a massive mistake.
If you want to try one room maximalist, Okay, fine,
give it a try and just expect that it's you know,
(30:04):
odds are against you that you're going to succeed. I'm
just I'm sorry. Maximalism. What you know, just because you've
given a thing a name does not mean that it's
a good idea. And maximalism, for most people is something
to steer clear of because it in and of itself
(30:26):
is a violation of basic human behavioral design principles. And
that's what design and discordant decor is all about it's
all about human beings. So if you walk into a
room and there is literally so much stuff in the
room that you don't know where to look, then that's
(30:49):
a confusing, chaotic room. That's typically what a maximalist room is.
And so how do they work? How do they how
are they? Why is it even a thing? I will
tell you in the world of hierarchy, okay, meaning that
those priority hits right. So everybody, for me to Joanna Gaines,
(31:11):
will tell you that a room needs a hero, It
needs a it needs a star, it needs one thing
that everything else is kind of rotating around.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Every good director, every good artist will tell you that
not every cast member it gets to have an equal role.
There are leading roles, there are right behind them supporting
roles and behind them extras okay, and then there is
just background. And so that's hierarchy in art, in performance art,
(31:48):
in fine art, in architecture, and in design and decor
as well. So the idea that all of these disciplines
agree that there needs to be a star the show,
so you, as the observer of art, can take it in,
can focus and it can have its effect. So why
(32:09):
does maximalism occasionally work or how could it ever possibly work?
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Well?
Speaker 1 (32:15):
It works well in a photograph because the photograph itself
is one thing. It's one thing. It's like, oh, that's
one work of art. So when you see a maximalist
spread in a magazine or on a social media site
or on a Pinterest board, just understand if you find
it appealing, it's because you're staring at everything as one thing.
(32:38):
But if you were to actually walk into that room
and live in there for half an hour, you wouldn't
be enjoying yourself. That's my prediction. So yeah, I have
an opinion on maximalism, and for almost everybody, it's a
thumbs down opinion because I find that it violates human
nature too much. All Right, more of my opinions and
