H D everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Dean Sharp the
House Whisper with You live right here every Saturday and
Sunday morning. Hey, follow us on social media. We only
do the good kind, uplifting, informative, inspiring. We're on Instagram,
TikTok for like Another Day, Facebook X Home with Yeah
(00:36):
it's true, TikTok for like another Day, or so I
think Home with Dean, same handle for all of them
Home with Dean And of course this very program is
also the house Whisper podcast that you can listen to anytime,
anywhere on demand. We've got hundreds of episodes, all searchable
(00:56):
by topic. It is or could be or should be
your home improvement reference library. And if your home is
in need of more personal house Whisper attention, by the way,
you could book an in home design consult with us,
I mean me and t this one right here. All
you have to do is go to house Whisper dot
(01:18):
Design and yeah, we'll pay you a visit and figure
out what's going on with your home, all right, I
am approaching this subject of fire hardening specifically this weekend
because too much confusion already abounds. But I'm also taking calls.
(01:38):
I'm trying to balance the two. You know, we're kind
of in this balancing act right now of a little
bit of life returning to normal, but not ignoring the
pressing needs a lot of Southern Californians. I would argue
all Southern Californians should do some fire hardening work on
their home, but there's so many fallacious ideas out there
(02:00):
and a lot of ignorance. I'm going to be addressing
that specifically in detail on tomorrow's show, on the next episode.
If you're a podcast listener right now, all I'm doing
something we haven't done for a while, which is getting
some calls handled because you know, I know you've got questions.
Life goes on as well, So whether you're called is
(02:20):
about fire or whether it's about anything else on your home,
feel free to call me eight three three two Ask
Dean A three three the numeral to ask Dean. All right,
for those of you who are on the edge of
your seat and wondering, is Dean going to answer Peter's question? Uh,
my computer is still locked up here, and so you
know I'm going to get it fixed. But let me
(02:41):
just go ahead and answer the question. So Peter had
called and asked, hey, I got I live in an apartment.
I got a bunch of stuff plugged in, And I
did adequately answer his question in terms of like, hey,
you're safe, You're good. You put a power strip into
an outlet and you can put a bunch of stuff
on there. And the power strip itself has a breaker mechanism.
If it's pulling too much energy through it, it will
(03:04):
pop and you'll have to reset it. And that's how
you know you get too many things plugged into it. Also,
the breaker itself for the circuit of the outlet is
set to go off if too much energy gets pulled
through the wire that's creating that circuit, And a fifteen
am breaker obviously will pop before a twenty am breaker
(03:27):
because that's a bigger line, it's a bigger load. But specifically,
what I wanted to do was do a quick search
on the internet just to find out. Sometimes, you know,
some of the questions I get asked, I'm always curious, like, well,
if I did an internet search and just ask a
simple question, would I get a straight answer? And it
(03:47):
turned out I'm assuming that it might be a tricky answer.
But my computer's locked up right now, and so I
can't tell you whether the internet would have answered this well,
so I'm just going to do it right here. All right?
Are you ready? Are you ready? This is how you
very very specifically figure out what you can plug into
(04:07):
an outlet at home. As I said, most regular home
receptacle circuits are fifteen amp, some of them are twenty amp.
How can you tell at your breaker panel? When you
go to your power box and open it up your
main panel, you will find the breakers and they will
have on them they'll be labeled fifteen twenty. That's how
(04:29):
you know fifteen amp circuit, twenty amp circuit and so on.
Also here in America we have one hundred and twenty
vault power systems. Okay, that's the voltage of our power system.
So it's very very simple. All you have to do
is multiply the ampridge of a circuit by the voltage
(04:55):
of a circuit. Ampridge times voltage okay equals wattage, and
wattage is the power consumption that that circuit is capable of.
So case in point, if you take a fifteen amp
circuit and multiply it by one and twenty volts, you
will find that eighteen hundred watts is the maximum pull
(05:19):
of the usage that that circuit will handle at one
moment in time. Okay, So yeah, this this most commonly
occurs where like, you're in the bathroom and you've got
a fifteen amp circuit right there next to the sink,
and a woman has a or I should say woman,
I'm just all I'm saying is that's how it works
(05:40):
in my household. Tina blow drives your hair, and I
do not. Okay, but let's say you've got a blow
dryer there. I have a very good friend, by the way,
a guy who spends way more time blow drawing his
hair than Tina does. He will remain nameless. But here's
the point. You know who I'm talking about fifteen hundred
(06:03):
watt blow dryer on a fifteen am circuit. That's fifteen
hundred watts out of eighteen hundred watts maximum. So you're
only three hundred watts short of that maximum capacity on
that circuit, which is why you're sitting there. Somebody's using
a blow drying and then somebody plugs in an electric
razor or hair clipper or something else like like that,
(06:25):
and boom, off goes the circuit and you're like, what
is wrong with this house? Nothing's wrong with the house
because you've overloaded the capacity for that. So, Peter, I
hope you're still listening. Just FYI. If you really want
to get to persnickety about it, you can basically look
at every single thing that you plug in, either the
right on the end of the plug or the transformer
(06:47):
or somewhere on the device. You're going to find the
wattage that it pulls right. And so you add up
the watts of this thing and the clock radio and
the thing and the thing and the thing, and then
you compare that to your fifteen amp circuit eighteen hundred watts.
See what you got left over or whether you go
(07:08):
over it or not. Also a twenty amp circuit by
that same formula, twenty times one hundred and twenty equals
twenty four hundred twenty four hundred wats on a twenty
amp circuit, eighteen hundred watts on a fifteen amp circuit,
And ideally the electrical code would like you to use
only eighty percent of that maximum for ultimate safety. So
(07:32):
there you go. There you have it all right. When
we come back, another call or two, and then some
thoughts that get us sort of warmed up towards this
subject of fact and fiction dispelling for fire hardening your home.
You are home with Dean Sharp the house Whisper. Jamfi,
(07:52):
Dean Sharp, the house Whisper, at your service. Thanks for
joining us on the program this morning. I'm in the
middle of taking some calls right now. And yes, you'll
be happy to know my computer is back up and running.
I know you were all really really worried about that,
so I just want to I just want to bring
you that relief. Isn't that good news? All right, let's
(08:16):
go back to the phones. I want to talk to Nancy. Hey, Nancy,
welcome home.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Why, good morning, Dean.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
I have a question.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yes, I have my chicken coop and I am wanting
to put a three foot awning in the front of it,
you know, for obviously for rain and sun exposure. So
how how far do I need to put because I'm
going to put the angled wood to help support the
(08:52):
the awning. How far out do I need to put that?
And it's an odd question. I don't know how to
explain it. So if I need to put the triangular
brace for the wood support for the corrugated plastic roofing,
(09:12):
so how far away do I need to have that
from the side of the coup? And then how far
down does the base need to be attached to the coup?
Does that make sense?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Not exactly? But here here's the thing I'm going to
I'm going to take a stab at it. So you
want to use that corrugated plastic material to creating awning
off the side of your chicken coop?
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Okay? And how far out is this on and going
to stick?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Three feet?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Three feet out? Okay, it's going to stick. That's a
short run for the corrugated material, and so and and
how are you planning on supporting this corrugated ceial at
the chicken coop?
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I was going to use uh? One by two? Uh?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Would okay?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Because since it's only it's only the it's only going
to be sticking out three feet And the length of
the section I'm doing is four feet wide.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Okay, it's why chicking out three feet?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And you don't and okay, So here's what I'm guessing
when you said the word triangle. Does that mean that
you're not planning on running out on the end of
the awning, You're not going to have little posts going
down to the soil, but in fact angling back to
the chicken coop. So it makes kind of a triangle,
uh support?
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Trust?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Correct?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
And then the question is how far out those have
to go and how far down the coop.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
They have to go?
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Correct? Okay, you're good?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Oh yeah. Uh So, so here's the thing. If you
run from from your ledger the ledger board, by the way,
is the board that you're attaching to the chicken coop
that you're putting the whole back end of this thing on.
If from that ledger board, on each end of this
little four foot wide awning, this is how I would
(11:18):
suggest you do it. That you that you that you run,
you that you build essentially a rectangle of your little
two by two material, so that the one side of
the rectangle attaches to the coop, the other is sticking
out the not quite three feet. You don't want it
(11:39):
all the way at the end. You come back in
like six inches or so. So let's say if you
if the corrugated material hangs out three feet. Then you know,
then your rectangular support for this thing should be maybe
two foot six sticking out, okay, And have have a
whole edge of wood there on the on the front
(12:00):
side of this thing, so it supports that material because
it's a little flimsy, okay. And then from there, once
you have that whole roof structure, the corrugated material hanging
over six inches each end of your wood and six
inches off the front. Then once you attach that to
(12:21):
the chicken coop, all you need are a couple of
angle pieces down to the chicken coop to hold it
in place. Nobody's going to be sitting on it, and
chickens are light. Even if a chicken got up there,
it wouldn't be the end of the world. So, and
it's well supported. So I mean ideally a forty five
degree angle. But here's the point. The forty five degree
(12:44):
angle doesn't even have to go all the way out
to the end, okay, because of your rectangle. So you
could get away with let's say going out eighteen inches
or twenty four inches and down twenty four.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Inches, and that's going to be more than enough.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Strength on both sides to hold up that that lightweight
little anie.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Okay, yeah, okay, that's that was the thing. Okay, Oh
that's wonderful. Yeah. So now now I don't have any
excuse to drag my feet of getting this little project accomplished.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
There you go, get those chickens in the shade.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
That's right. Thank you so much. You have a delightful weekend.
And I love all the information.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Wait, Nancy, what kind of what kind of chickens do
you have? I'm just as as a as a as
a chicken rancher myself. I'm always curious what kind of
chickens do you have?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Well, I have a Sterling silver and so she's a
lovely little hen and very cute. And then I have
a Planmouth rock and you know they're very territorial, so
she's the top on the wrung. And then the last
and I have she is a a California starlight hen
(14:02):
and those are not very common. But that she has
a beautiful curved comb. It's like really it's like a
long wavy comb. And the top of her head down
to her shoulders is a very dark black gray color,
and then the rest of her body is black and gray,
(14:25):
kind of spotted color. So she's a beautiful bird's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
I'm not familiar with that breed. You said, California Starlight.
Tina's looking it up right now.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Yeah, that's what the lady told us that she was.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
So all right, we're going to check it out.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
But the PM.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Go ahead, the California's Starlight. She lays beautiful, dark green
eggs she just started laying. So we're excited.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
All right, she qualifies, and we're about to re up
our flock because we've got we have a bunch of
old ladies. Honestly, right now, we've got a bunch of
old ladies who should have died like five years ago.
Clearly tell me, no, you know it's true. They're ancient.
(15:17):
Their feet are virtually petrified at this point anyway. But
this spring we're introducing some new chicks in and so
we're in the market. We're in the market for some
interesting breeds and from a health perspective, from a health perspective,
and just a human interest perspective. Tina and I always
try and pick breeds not only that we love and
(15:39):
enjoy looking at and fooling around with, but also we
love it when each of our girls lays a slightly
different colored egg because, as you know, sometimes health issues
they're almost always related to egg laying. And that way
we can be like, I haven't seen one of those
dark green eggs here in the egg box for a while.
We should go check out out, you know, Julie or whatever,
(16:01):
you know, old lady name we're going to give to
our chickens, because we always give them ancient, old lady names.
So and that's just a way, it's a way of
us kind of tracking to make sure everybody, you know,
how how's everybody doing?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Yeah this, Yeah, that's very true. And this California chicken,
she's heat tolerant. They are high heat tolerant. So that
was one of the things I was looking at for,
you know, being here in southern California. And the place
that is a good place is called Wes's Speed and
(16:35):
ELMANI and I was calling and she keeps getting in
different types of chickens all throughout the season, and so
I call her and find out what she's got, and
I look it up to see if it's a breed
I want. And so sometimes it takes a couple of
months to get in something that I'm interested in. So
you might want to give her a call. Yeah, Nan,
(16:57):
thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
For everybody else is literally everyone else who's listening is like,
did we just is this caf I have a chicken
show on Saturday mornings?
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Is this a chicken? Is this the chicken whisper? What
was that? What was that? I'm sorry, Tina. We're bringing
KFI back to the farm days to its original you
know that's trivia. Did anyone know this? Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah, that the call letters kf I actually originally when
it was started the station started in the nineteen twenties.
Uh that it KFI stood for k I mean, you know,
radio stuff, farm information, k f I k farm information.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Bringing it back, bringing it back, baby school, chicken talk.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Oh, Dean Sharp, the poultry Whisperer, Hey, thanks for joining
us on the program. When we come back, you know,
I'm going to try and take at least one more
call and then tease you about fire hardening fact in
FI for tomorrow's show. Stay tuned, there may be another
(18:03):
chicken question. Who knows?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
KFI AM six forty live streaming HD everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app Your Home with Dean Sharp the House Whisper.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Thanks for joining us on the program today.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
We're just taking a little breather right now, a little
breather from all the craziness. For the last two weeks, firefire, fire, fire,
everywhere I know. It has dominated our coverage. We are
still on top of all of it for you, and
we are not blind to the fact that for those
who have lost their homes, for the neighborhoods that have
(18:45):
been devastated, there is a long, long road ahead. But
I'm taking just a little bit of time this morning
to take calls on any other subject as well. And
as I said, my goal for this weekend primary ly
focused on in detail on tomorrow's show. The big show
tomorrow is going to be to now separate the fact
(19:08):
from the fictions that you are hearing. There's all sorts
of fire hardening, frenzy information out there, crazy stuff, and
some of it's crazy. Some of it sounds incredibly reasonable,
but it's all very expensive. And then you've got companies
popping up who say that they want to put sprinklers
on your top of your roof, and they want to
(19:28):
do this, and this is what you need to do
because everybody is in fear right now. A lot of
it is very, very expensive, and the question is is
it effective? And so tomorrow especially, I want to focus
in and separate that. I'll give you a little teaser
about it before we're done today. But right now I
want to take at least one more call before we
(19:49):
move on to that.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
I want to talk to Mike. Hey, Mike, welcome home.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Hey, Hey, Dean, Hey man. I just want to start
off by saying that my heart out to those people
in Altadena. That's that's a big part of our customer
base up there, and we've had calls into our business
people canceling orders for stuff that they had had on
order for uh the gates after the fire, and uh wow,
(20:15):
it's really heart wrenching to listen to some stories and
people actually, you know, come to tears on the phone,
cancel on their order because their homes are gone.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
So yeah, I feel you, Thank you, Mike.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I appreciate that, and I'm sure they appreciate it too.
It's yeah, it is. It's just I mean, all of
our hearts go out.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
It's just yeah, yeah, it's a tough one.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Uh that that that last called the chicken Lady. Man,
I got some great information. I'm in the middle of
building chicken coop myself. Man, so uh much appreciated information.
I'm glad you uh deviated from the uh noble topics.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I couldn't resist, I couldn't help myself. I had to
had to go there.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
That was good. I could have never thought of some
of those questions. But I've got some great info to
supply my chicken coop. So that's excellent man, Thank you.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
But my reason for my call is that I have
a gorgeous back patio. We spend a tremendous amount of
our time back there. But I made the classic mistake
of building a fireplace. It's a gorgeous stone fireplace sixteen
feet tall and thirty feet wide and has a five
(21:25):
foot tall fireplace, and it just gorgeous looks looks like
back in the old days. And it's a classic fireplace.
So it doesn't put out much heat. And so I'm
debating how I can rectify that by having something or
adding something to it that might provide us with some
(21:46):
heat during these cold, cold winter times.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Oh okay, yeah, well you probably won't like me saying
tear it down right, I mean, no, you don't.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Want to do I can turn it into a chicken coop.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
There you go, okay, So yeah, I uh okay.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
So when people are talking about, hey, I want an
outdoor fire experience, I'm all for it.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
I mean, I love them.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
And if you guys are fans of the show and
you follow us on social media, you see I spent
a lot of time out by my fire pit when
our clients ask us, Hey, we want an outdoor fire experience.
Sure we've done fireplaces before, of course we have. And
I usually give pushback on a client when it comes
(22:35):
to a fire an outdoor fireplace, because because I don't
think they actually pay off what they promise. I mean, visually,
they are stunning and beautiful and they give you that
whole vibe. But you know exactly what you're saying, Mike,
when it comes to the actual functionality of the fire
(22:59):
and the whole idea of hey, let's all gather around
it and stay warm and have a wonderful conversations outside
under the stars and so on, that's where they actually
fall short. And you know, if a client's like, hey, architecturally,
I think it's a great idea, though, Dean, let's go
for it. And you know, of course we'll do it,
because at the end of the day, you're the boss.
(23:20):
But I usually push toward a firepit over a fireplace,
because a fire pit, I can stretch that thing as
long as I want. I can run a big gas
supply to it and have a big, beautiful, nice flame
coming out of it. We can all gather around it.
I mean my fire pit in my backyard, you know,
I mean I can get eight people around it, and
(23:41):
everybody is staying warm because everybody can kind of belly
up as close to the fire as they want. And
there you go. A fireplace, even one as large as
you're sixteen feet tall, five foot fire box still best
case scenario, you've got two maybe three chairs that can
(24:03):
get in close to it. And as with all fireplaces
inside and out, all traditional fireplaces, nearly ninety percent of
the heat goes up the chimney and not out into
the space where you're at. So how do you resolve
that situation. It's not the easiest thing to resolve. The
(24:25):
best thing I can tell you is number One, you're outside.
So because you're outside, it may be of benefit if
you can bring. I didn't ask you in detail, and
I'm short on time, but whether you've got built canopies
or anything over it or near it, but if you
brought in an umbrella or two to put over the
(24:47):
space to hold some of the heat that is coming
out of the box down, not over the chimney, but
over the heat of the box, just to hold it
a little bit longer down towards people. That's going to
make it a slightly warmer experien probably the most direct
way to do it, and it's not uber attractive, but
you know, I mean you can find them out there.
(25:07):
And that's one of those tubed blower setups where you've
got a kind of a U shaped horseshoe shaped a
series of four or five horseshoe shaped tubes that sit
the lower tubes on top of the fire bed itself
where the gas flame is, and then another set of
them they curl up and they sit over the actual flames.
(25:30):
Those things superheat and then the convection process of air
moving through them. Or if you can bring power, you
can put a powered blower there. That's the best, a
powered blower fan with those tubes and literally blow that
heated air out of the firebox towards the people and so,
(25:51):
and those are available. You can get those at like
woodlanddirect dot com. Take a look at those, match them
to you the size of your fire box. If you
paint them out blacky, they'll tend to go away. But yeah,
you'll get some more direct horizontal heat coming at people
who are sitting near the fireplace, more efficiently heating them
(26:14):
up than just all of it going up the chimney.
But that's actually, I mean, that's that's that's the double
edged sword of an architecturally beautiful traditional outdoor fireplace. They
are gorgeous, but when it comes to number of people
that they can keep warm, no matter how big they are,
(26:36):
it usually amounts to two uh and and you're you know,
you're not all curled around it looking at each other.
So that's why I always push towards fire pits. But
I think that's the that's probably the best thing you
can do, my.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Friend, oh man, thank you so much, Stean. That's that's
a great suggestion. I'm going to look into Woodland fire
Direct and thanks.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Yeah, yeah, and direct. And you know, look at the
fire tube the blower tubes setups that they've got and
you can do that with an indoor gas fire as well,
but outdoor you know it'll help. All right, my friend,
thank you for your call, Thanks for your support. Buddy
day I fie Gean Sharp the house Whisper welcome home. Hey,
(27:22):
thanks for spending the morning with me. It has been
a privilege. As always, I want to remind you follow
us on social media Instagram, TikTok for like the next
forty eight hours, Facebook x at home with Dean the
same handle for them all. The House Whisper podcast, which
is this very program, is everywhere your favorite podcasts are found.
(27:46):
And yeah, it's true you heard right earlier in the show.
If your home is in need of some personal House
Whisper attention, if you've fanned the show and you're like, oh,
I can only get that guy in my living room
talking about what's going on going on here, well you can.
You can book an in home design consult with us
at house Whisper dot Design. All right, y'all, just a
(28:11):
couple of more things before we are done today. As
I said at the top of the show, my main goal,
you know, I want to take a little break and
want to answer some calls today. Great calls today, thank you,
and just give us all sort of a little bit
of a shakedown break from all the fire news. But
we're not done with fire. You and I Okay, I'm
(28:34):
very serious about this. I've been talking about this for years.
But every once in a while, of course, along comes
a major wildfire disaster. The last one before this one
was six years ago, the one that almost threatened our home,
the Woolsey fire back in twenty eighteen pre COVID if
(28:55):
you can believe that. But they come, they happen, and
they're going to happen again, and I don't want your
home to be a victim of that activity next time around.
I did not want the Palisades to burn the way
they burnt, or the Altadena fire to burn the way
(29:17):
it burnt. And you're asking the question, well, what are
you going to do about it? Well, there's a lot
that you can do about it. There's a lot that
we all in southern California or anywhere you live near
an open space should and can do about it. The
problem is in the in the forget the pun firestorm
(29:38):
of fear and anxiety that comes after a disaster like
this has its takes its toll on us uh. People
are open to embracing all sorts of ideas that have
no basis in factuality or effectiveness. And so what I
want to talk to you about, specifically in detail tomorrow
(30:01):
is how a fire interacts with your home. It's not
what you think. Almost guaranteed it's not what you think.
And we're going to be talking about the fire hardening frenzy,
separating the facts from the fictions. And I'm going to
set you up. I'm going to give you literally the
(30:22):
house whisper list of what I think the steps to
take to adequately, effectively, affordably fire harden a home so
that next time this event occurs, you have the best
possibility whatsoever of your home having a home to come
(30:42):
back to.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
So that's the big show tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
We start a half an hour later than normal just
tomorrow because of the Governor Gavin Newsom town hall that
starts at nine. Don't miss that here on KFI, and
we'll be getting started right around nine point thirty.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I hope in between now and then you get out there,
get into this beautiful day that we've got a cool
southern California day, windless, generally speaking, and get busy building
yourself a beautiful life, and we'll see you right back
here tomorrow morning.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
This has been Home with Dean Sharp, the House Whisper.

H D everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Dean Sharp the
House Whisper with You live right here every Saturday and
Sunday morning. Hey, follow us on social media. We only
do the good kind, uplifting, informative, inspiring. We're on Instagram,
TikTok for like Another Day, Facebook X Home with Yeah
(00:36):
it's true, TikTok for like another Day, or so I
think Home with Dean, same handle for all of them
Home with Dean And of course this very program is
also the house Whisper podcast that you can listen to anytime,
anywhere on demand. We've got hundreds of episodes, all searchable
(00:56):
by topic. It is or could be or should be
your home improvement reference library. And if your home is
in need of more personal house Whisper attention, by the way,
you could book an in home design consult with us,
I mean me and t this one right here. All
you have to do is go to house Whisper dot
(01:18):
Design and yeah, we'll pay you a visit and figure
out what's going on with your home, all right, I
am approaching this subject of fire hardening specifically this weekend
because too much confusion already abounds. But I'm also taking calls.
(01:38):
I'm trying to balance the two. You know, we're kind
of in this balancing act right now of a little
bit of life returning to normal, but not ignoring the
pressing needs a lot of Southern Californians. I would argue
all Southern Californians should do some fire hardening work on
their home, but there's so many fallacious ideas out there
(02:00):
and a lot of ignorance. I'm going to be addressing
that specifically in detail on tomorrow's show, on the next episode.
If you're a podcast listener right now, all I'm doing
something we haven't done for a while, which is getting
some calls handled because you know, I know you've got questions.
Life goes on as well, So whether you're called is
(02:20):
about fire or whether it's about anything else on your home,
feel free to call me eight three three two Ask
Dean A three three the numeral to ask Dean. All right,
for those of you who are on the edge of
your seat and wondering, is Dean going to answer Peter's question? Uh,
my computer is still locked up here, and so you
know I'm going to get it fixed. But let me
(02:41):
just go ahead and answer the question. So Peter had
called and asked, hey, I got I live in an apartment.
I got a bunch of stuff plugged in, And I
did adequately answer his question in terms of like, hey,
you're safe, You're good. You put a power strip into
an outlet and you can put a bunch of stuff
on there. And the power strip itself has a breaker mechanism.
If it's pulling too much energy through it, it will
(03:04):
pop and you'll have to reset it. And that's how
you know you get too many things plugged into it. Also,
the breaker itself for the circuit of the outlet is
set to go off if too much energy gets pulled
through the wire that's creating that circuit, And a fifteen
am breaker obviously will pop before a twenty am breaker
(03:27):
because that's a bigger line, it's a bigger load. But specifically,
what I wanted to do was do a quick search
on the internet just to find out. Sometimes, you know,
some of the questions I get asked, I'm always curious, like, well,
if I did an internet search and just ask a
simple question, would I get a straight answer? And it
(03:47):
turned out I'm assuming that it might be a tricky answer.
But my computer's locked up right now, and so I
can't tell you whether the internet would have answered this well,
so I'm just going to do it right here. All right?
Are you ready? Are you ready? This is how you
very very specifically figure out what you can plug into
(04:07):
an outlet at home. As I said, most regular home
receptacle circuits are fifteen amp, some of them are twenty amp.
How can you tell at your breaker panel? When you
go to your power box and open it up your
main panel, you will find the breakers and they will
have on them they'll be labeled fifteen twenty. That's how
(04:29):
you know fifteen amp circuit, twenty amp circuit and so on.
Also here in America we have one hundred and twenty
vault power systems. Okay, that's the voltage of our power system.
So it's very very simple. All you have to do
is multiply the ampridge of a circuit by the voltage
(04:55):
of a circuit. Ampridge times voltage okay equals wattage, and
wattage is the power consumption that that circuit is capable of.
So case in point, if you take a fifteen amp
circuit and multiply it by one and twenty volts, you
will find that eighteen hundred watts is the maximum pull
(05:19):
of the usage that that circuit will handle at one
moment in time. Okay, So yeah, this this most commonly
occurs where like, you're in the bathroom and you've got
a fifteen amp circuit right there next to the sink,
and a woman has a or I should say woman,
I'm just all I'm saying is that's how it works
(05:40):
in my household. Tina blow drives your hair, and I
do not. Okay, but let's say you've got a blow
dryer there. I have a very good friend, by the way,
a guy who spends way more time blow drawing his
hair than Tina does. He will remain nameless. But here's
the point. You know who I'm talking about fifteen hundred
(06:03):
watt blow dryer on a fifteen am circuit. That's fifteen
hundred watts out of eighteen hundred watts maximum. So you're
only three hundred watts short of that maximum capacity on
that circuit, which is why you're sitting there. Somebody's using
a blow drying and then somebody plugs in an electric
razor or hair clipper or something else like like that,
(06:25):
and boom, off goes the circuit and you're like, what
is wrong with this house? Nothing's wrong with the house
because you've overloaded the capacity for that. So, Peter, I
hope you're still listening. Just FYI. If you really want
to get to persnickety about it, you can basically look
at every single thing that you plug in, either the
right on the end of the plug or the transformer
(06:47):
or somewhere on the device. You're going to find the
wattage that it pulls right. And so you add up
the watts of this thing and the clock radio and
the thing and the thing and the thing, and then
you compare that to your fifteen amp circuit eighteen hundred watts.
See what you got left over or whether you go
(07:08):
over it or not. Also a twenty amp circuit by
that same formula, twenty times one hundred and twenty equals
twenty four hundred twenty four hundred wats on a twenty
amp circuit, eighteen hundred watts on a fifteen amp circuit,
And ideally the electrical code would like you to use
only eighty percent of that maximum for ultimate safety. So
(07:32):
there you go. There you have it all right. When
we come back, another call or two, and then some
thoughts that get us sort of warmed up towards this
subject of fact and fiction dispelling for fire hardening your home.
You are home with Dean Sharp the house Whisper. Jamfi,
(07:52):
Dean Sharp, the house Whisper, at your service. Thanks for
joining us on the program this morning. I'm in the
middle of taking some calls right now. And yes, you'll
be happy to know my computer is back up and running.
I know you were all really really worried about that,
so I just want to I just want to bring
you that relief. Isn't that good news? All right, let's
(08:16):
go back to the phones. I want to talk to Nancy. Hey, Nancy,
welcome home.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Why, good morning, Dean.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
I have a question.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yes, I have my chicken coop and I am wanting
to put a three foot awning in the front of it,
you know, for obviously for rain and sun exposure. So
how how far do I need to put because I'm
going to put the angled wood to help support the
(08:52):
the awning. How far out do I need to put that?
And it's an odd question. I don't know how to
explain it. So if I need to put the triangular
brace for the wood support for the corrugated plastic roofing,
(09:12):
so how far away do I need to have that
from the side of the coup? And then how far
down does the base need to be attached to the coup?
Does that make sense?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Not exactly? But here here's the thing I'm going to
I'm going to take a stab at it. So you
want to use that corrugated plastic material to creating awning
off the side of your chicken coop?
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Okay? And how far out is this on and going
to stick?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Three feet?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Three feet out? Okay, it's going to stick. That's a
short run for the corrugated material, and so and and
how are you planning on supporting this corrugated ceial at
the chicken coop?
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I was going to use uh? One by two? Uh?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Would okay?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Because since it's only it's only the it's only going
to be sticking out three feet And the length of
the section I'm doing is four feet wide.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Okay, it's why chicking out three feet?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And you don't and okay, So here's what I'm guessing
when you said the word triangle. Does that mean that
you're not planning on running out on the end of
the awning, You're not going to have little posts going
down to the soil, but in fact angling back to
the chicken coop. So it makes kind of a triangle,
uh support?
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Trust?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Correct?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
And then the question is how far out those have
to go and how far down the coop.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
They have to go?
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Correct? Okay, you're good?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Oh yeah. Uh So, so here's the thing. If you
run from from your ledger the ledger board, by the way,
is the board that you're attaching to the chicken coop
that you're putting the whole back end of this thing on.
If from that ledger board, on each end of this
little four foot wide awning, this is how I would
(11:18):
suggest you do it. That you that you that you run,
you that you build essentially a rectangle of your little
two by two material, so that the one side of
the rectangle attaches to the coop, the other is sticking
out the not quite three feet. You don't want it
(11:39):
all the way at the end. You come back in
like six inches or so. So let's say if you
if the corrugated material hangs out three feet. Then you know,
then your rectangular support for this thing should be maybe
two foot six sticking out, okay, And have have a
whole edge of wood there on the on the front
(12:00):
side of this thing, so it supports that material because
it's a little flimsy, okay. And then from there, once
you have that whole roof structure, the corrugated material hanging
over six inches each end of your wood and six
inches off the front. Then once you attach that to
(12:21):
the chicken coop, all you need are a couple of
angle pieces down to the chicken coop to hold it
in place. Nobody's going to be sitting on it, and
chickens are light. Even if a chicken got up there,
it wouldn't be the end of the world. So, and
it's well supported. So I mean ideally a forty five
degree angle. But here's the point. The forty five degree
(12:44):
angle doesn't even have to go all the way out
to the end, okay, because of your rectangle. So you
could get away with let's say going out eighteen inches
or twenty four inches and down twenty four.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Inches, and that's going to be more than enough.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Strength on both sides to hold up that that lightweight
little anie.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Okay, yeah, okay, that's that was the thing. Okay, Oh
that's wonderful. Yeah. So now now I don't have any
excuse to drag my feet of getting this little project accomplished.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
There you go, get those chickens in the shade.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
That's right. Thank you so much. You have a delightful weekend.
And I love all the information.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Wait, Nancy, what kind of what kind of chickens do
you have? I'm just as as a as a as
a chicken rancher myself. I'm always curious what kind of
chickens do you have?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Well, I have a Sterling silver and so she's a
lovely little hen and very cute. And then I have
a Planmouth rock and you know they're very territorial, so
she's the top on the wrung. And then the last
and I have she is a a California starlight hen
(14:02):
and those are not very common. But that she has
a beautiful curved comb. It's like really it's like a
long wavy comb. And the top of her head down
to her shoulders is a very dark black gray color,
and then the rest of her body is black and gray,
(14:25):
kind of spotted color. So she's a beautiful bird's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
I'm not familiar with that breed. You said, California Starlight.
Tina's looking it up right now.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Yeah, that's what the lady told us that she was.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
So all right, we're going to check it out.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
But the PM.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Go ahead, the California's Starlight. She lays beautiful, dark green
eggs she just started laying. So we're excited.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
All right, she qualifies, and we're about to re up
our flock because we've got we have a bunch of
old ladies. Honestly, right now, we've got a bunch of
old ladies who should have died like five years ago.
Clearly tell me, no, you know it's true. They're ancient.
(15:17):
Their feet are virtually petrified at this point anyway. But
this spring we're introducing some new chicks in and so
we're in the market. We're in the market for some
interesting breeds and from a health perspective, from a health perspective,
and just a human interest perspective. Tina and I always
try and pick breeds not only that we love and
(15:39):
enjoy looking at and fooling around with, but also we
love it when each of our girls lays a slightly
different colored egg because, as you know, sometimes health issues
they're almost always related to egg laying. And that way
we can be like, I haven't seen one of those
dark green eggs here in the egg box for a while.
We should go check out out, you know, Julie or whatever,
(16:01):
you know, old lady name we're going to give to
our chickens, because we always give them ancient, old lady names.
So and that's just a way, it's a way of
us kind of tracking to make sure everybody, you know,
how how's everybody doing?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Yeah this, Yeah, that's very true. And this California chicken,
she's heat tolerant. They are high heat tolerant. So that
was one of the things I was looking at for,
you know, being here in southern California. And the place
that is a good place is called Wes's Speed and
(16:35):
ELMANI and I was calling and she keeps getting in
different types of chickens all throughout the season, and so
I call her and find out what she's got, and
I look it up to see if it's a breed
I want. And so sometimes it takes a couple of
months to get in something that I'm interested in. So
you might want to give her a call. Yeah, Nan,
(16:57):
thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
For everybody else is literally everyone else who's listening is like,
did we just is this caf I have a chicken
show on Saturday mornings?
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Is this a chicken? Is this the chicken whisper? What
was that? What was that? I'm sorry, Tina. We're bringing
KFI back to the farm days to its original you
know that's trivia. Did anyone know this? Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah, that the call letters kf I actually originally when
it was started the station started in the nineteen twenties.
Uh that it KFI stood for k I mean, you know,
radio stuff, farm information, k f I k farm information.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Bringing it back, bringing it back, baby school, chicken talk.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Oh, Dean Sharp, the poultry Whisperer, Hey, thanks for joining
us on the program. When we come back, you know,
I'm going to try and take at least one more
call and then tease you about fire hardening fact in
FI for tomorrow's show. Stay tuned, there may be another
(18:03):
chicken question. Who knows?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
KFI AM six forty live streaming HD everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app Your Home with Dean Sharp the House Whisper.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Thanks for joining us on the program today.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
We're just taking a little breather right now, a little
breather from all the craziness. For the last two weeks, firefire, fire, fire,
everywhere I know. It has dominated our coverage. We are
still on top of all of it for you, and
we are not blind to the fact that for those
who have lost their homes, for the neighborhoods that have
(18:45):
been devastated, there is a long, long road ahead. But
I'm taking just a little bit of time this morning
to take calls on any other subject as well. And
as I said, my goal for this weekend primary ly
focused on in detail on tomorrow's show. The big show
tomorrow is going to be to now separate the fact
(19:08):
from the fictions that you are hearing. There's all sorts
of fire hardening, frenzy information out there, crazy stuff, and
some of it's crazy. Some of it sounds incredibly reasonable,
but it's all very expensive. And then you've got companies
popping up who say that they want to put sprinklers
on your top of your roof, and they want to
(19:28):
do this, and this is what you need to do
because everybody is in fear right now. A lot of
it is very, very expensive, and the question is is
it effective? And so tomorrow especially, I want to focus
in and separate that. I'll give you a little teaser
about it before we're done today. But right now I
want to take at least one more call before we
(19:49):
move on to that.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
I want to talk to Mike. Hey, Mike, welcome home.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Hey, Hey, Dean, Hey man. I just want to start
off by saying that my heart out to those people
in Altadena. That's that's a big part of our customer
base up there, and we've had calls into our business
people canceling orders for stuff that they had had on
order for uh the gates after the fire, and uh wow,
(20:15):
it's really heart wrenching to listen to some stories and
people actually, you know, come to tears on the phone,
cancel on their order because their homes are gone.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
So yeah, I feel you, Thank you, Mike.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I appreciate that, and I'm sure they appreciate it too.
It's yeah, it is. It's just I mean, all of
our hearts go out.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
It's just yeah, yeah, it's a tough one.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Uh that that that last called the chicken Lady. Man,
I got some great information. I'm in the middle of
building chicken coop myself. Man, so uh much appreciated information.
I'm glad you uh deviated from the uh noble topics.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I couldn't resist, I couldn't help myself. I had to
had to go there.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
That was good. I could have never thought of some
of those questions. But I've got some great info to
supply my chicken coop. So that's excellent man, Thank you.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
But my reason for my call is that I have
a gorgeous back patio. We spend a tremendous amount of
our time back there. But I made the classic mistake
of building a fireplace. It's a gorgeous stone fireplace sixteen
feet tall and thirty feet wide and has a five
(21:25):
foot tall fireplace, and it just gorgeous looks looks like
back in the old days. And it's a classic fireplace.
So it doesn't put out much heat. And so I'm
debating how I can rectify that by having something or
adding something to it that might provide us with some
(21:46):
heat during these cold, cold winter times.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Oh okay, yeah, well you probably won't like me saying
tear it down right, I mean, no, you don't.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Want to do I can turn it into a chicken coop.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
There you go, okay, So yeah, I uh okay.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
So when people are talking about, hey, I want an
outdoor fire experience, I'm all for it.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
I mean, I love them.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
And if you guys are fans of the show and
you follow us on social media, you see I spent
a lot of time out by my fire pit when
our clients ask us, Hey, we want an outdoor fire experience.
Sure we've done fireplaces before, of course we have. And
I usually give pushback on a client when it comes
(22:35):
to a fire an outdoor fireplace, because because I don't
think they actually pay off what they promise. I mean, visually,
they are stunning and beautiful and they give you that
whole vibe. But you know exactly what you're saying, Mike,
when it comes to the actual functionality of the fire
(22:59):
and the whole idea of hey, let's all gather around
it and stay warm and have a wonderful conversations outside
under the stars and so on, that's where they actually
fall short. And you know, if a client's like, hey, architecturally,
I think it's a great idea, though, Dean, let's go
for it. And you know, of course we'll do it,
because at the end of the day, you're the boss.
(23:20):
But I usually push toward a firepit over a fireplace,
because a fire pit, I can stretch that thing as
long as I want. I can run a big gas
supply to it and have a big, beautiful, nice flame
coming out of it. We can all gather around it.
I mean my fire pit in my backyard, you know,
I mean I can get eight people around it, and
(23:41):
everybody is staying warm because everybody can kind of belly
up as close to the fire as they want. And
there you go. A fireplace, even one as large as
you're sixteen feet tall, five foot fire box still best
case scenario, you've got two maybe three chairs that can
(24:03):
get in close to it. And as with all fireplaces
inside and out, all traditional fireplaces, nearly ninety percent of
the heat goes up the chimney and not out into
the space where you're at. So how do you resolve
that situation. It's not the easiest thing to resolve. The
(24:25):
best thing I can tell you is number One, you're outside.
So because you're outside, it may be of benefit if
you can bring. I didn't ask you in detail, and
I'm short on time, but whether you've got built canopies
or anything over it or near it, but if you
brought in an umbrella or two to put over the
(24:47):
space to hold some of the heat that is coming
out of the box down, not over the chimney, but
over the heat of the box, just to hold it
a little bit longer down towards people. That's going to
make it a slightly warmer experien probably the most direct
way to do it, and it's not uber attractive, but
you know, I mean you can find them out there.
(25:07):
And that's one of those tubed blower setups where you've
got a kind of a U shaped horseshoe shaped a
series of four or five horseshoe shaped tubes that sit
the lower tubes on top of the fire bed itself
where the gas flame is, and then another set of
them they curl up and they sit over the actual flames.
(25:30):
Those things superheat and then the convection process of air
moving through them. Or if you can bring power, you
can put a powered blower there. That's the best, a
powered blower fan with those tubes and literally blow that
heated air out of the firebox towards the people and so,
(25:51):
and those are available. You can get those at like
woodlanddirect dot com. Take a look at those, match them
to you the size of your fire box. If you
paint them out blacky, they'll tend to go away. But yeah,
you'll get some more direct horizontal heat coming at people
who are sitting near the fireplace, more efficiently heating them
(26:14):
up than just all of it going up the chimney.
But that's actually, I mean, that's that's that's the double
edged sword of an architecturally beautiful traditional outdoor fireplace. They
are gorgeous, but when it comes to number of people
that they can keep warm, no matter how big they are,
(26:36):
it usually amounts to two uh and and you're you know,
you're not all curled around it looking at each other.
So that's why I always push towards fire pits. But
I think that's the that's probably the best thing you
can do, my.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Friend, oh man, thank you so much, Stean. That's that's
a great suggestion. I'm going to look into Woodland fire
Direct and thanks.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Yeah, yeah, and direct. And you know, look at the
fire tube the blower tubes setups that they've got and
you can do that with an indoor gas fire as well,
but outdoor you know it'll help. All right, my friend,
thank you for your call, Thanks for your support. Buddy
day I fie Gean Sharp the house Whisper welcome home. Hey,
(27:22):
thanks for spending the morning with me. It has been
a privilege. As always, I want to remind you follow
us on social media Instagram, TikTok for like the next
forty eight hours, Facebook x at home with Dean the
same handle for them all. The House Whisper podcast, which
is this very program, is everywhere your favorite podcasts are found.
(27:46):
And yeah, it's true you heard right earlier in the show.
If your home is in need of some personal House
Whisper attention, if you've fanned the show and you're like, oh,
I can only get that guy in my living room
talking about what's going on going on here, well you can.
You can book an in home design consult with us
at house Whisper dot Design. All right, y'all, just a
(28:11):
couple of more things before we are done today. As
I said at the top of the show, my main goal,
you know, I want to take a little break and
want to answer some calls today. Great calls today, thank you,
and just give us all sort of a little bit
of a shakedown break from all the fire news. But
we're not done with fire. You and I Okay, I'm
(28:34):
very serious about this. I've been talking about this for years.
But every once in a while, of course, along comes
a major wildfire disaster. The last one before this one
was six years ago, the one that almost threatened our home,
the Woolsey fire back in twenty eighteen pre COVID if
(28:55):
you can believe that. But they come, they happen, and
they're going to happen again, and I don't want your
home to be a victim of that activity next time around.
I did not want the Palisades to burn the way
they burnt, or the Altadena fire to burn the way
(29:17):
it burnt. And you're asking the question, well, what are
you going to do about it? Well, there's a lot
that you can do about it. There's a lot that
we all in southern California or anywhere you live near
an open space should and can do about it. The
problem is in the in the forget the pun firestorm
(29:38):
of fear and anxiety that comes after a disaster like
this has its takes its toll on us uh. People
are open to embracing all sorts of ideas that have
no basis in factuality or effectiveness. And so what I
want to talk to you about, specifically in detail tomorrow
(30:01):
is how a fire interacts with your home. It's not
what you think. Almost guaranteed it's not what you think.
And we're going to be talking about the fire hardening frenzy,
separating the facts from the fictions. And I'm going to
set you up. I'm going to give you literally the
(30:22):
house whisper list of what I think the steps to
take to adequately, effectively, affordably fire harden a home so
that next time this event occurs, you have the best
possibility whatsoever of your home having a home to come
(30:42):
back to.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
So that's the big show tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
We start a half an hour later than normal just
tomorrow because of the Governor Gavin Newsom town hall that
starts at nine. Don't miss that here on KFI, and
we'll be getting started right around nine point thirty.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I hope in between now and then you get out there,
get into this beautiful day that we've got a cool
southern California day, windless, generally speaking, and get busy building
yourself a beautiful life, and we'll see you right back
here tomorrow morning.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
