Around The House with Eric G ®

ZLINE might be a new brand for many people but they have been revolutionizing the kitchen and bath industry for a number of years now with a new approach where you can buy direct and cut the middleman out appliances and now plumbing.

We sit down with Galen Bradford and Mason Watkins and find out what makes them so different than really most other companies in the kitchen and bath marketplace.

From luxury pro style appliances to kitchen and bathroom luxury plumbing fixtures, they are completely shaking up the kitchen and bath industry model here in the US. We had some technical difficulties in the studio during the interview so we will be bringing them back in the future to dive back in on a few of the questions that didn't make the cut. You might catch a little bit of those audio problems for a few minutes in the middle of the show we tried to repair.

This is what I am going to be cooking on with my kitchen so lets talk with them about it. For more information head to https://www.zlinekitchen.com/

October is Kitchen and Bath month and we wanted to talk about what you need to think about before you dive into that kitchen refresh project or what you should be considering before you bring in that designer and contractor.

A kitchen project can be the most stressful renovation on your relationships in your home so the effort made to plan this out is really key. We will lean on my nearly 30 years of kitchen and bath design work to discuss the secrets of pulling this major project off.

In the middle of this discussion we will talk with David Hardin, an Xfinity employee, a single father of two girls, and how he is using technology to manage how his two girls use the internet and how he can safely manage their online safety. If you are using XFINITY for your internet service you won't want to miss these tips.

All this and more on this weekends Around the House with Eric G.

Times like these can be brutal to a contractor, wholesaler, and designer. Costs are increasing due to lack of materials and lead times are all over the place. Items you could get on the shelf might be three months out and you have already started the project. Right now is the time you lean on those systems, make sure you are educated on the marketplace, and make sure you have your head on a swivel on your product lead times. 

Lets spend a few minutes and I will give you my tips for how to manage this for your business so that you can keep things dialed in as a residential contractor, designer, or business manager.

Earlier this year I watched a good friend fight for his life after what seemed a simple DIY project went really badly. You might have heard of Danny Dwyer, If you listen to Country Music he is one of those top DJ's in the country and is the Music Director and On Air Personality at 87.7 The Bull in Portland. He is also a fill in traffic host on multiple TV stations in our Portland area. I wanted to talk with Danny to get an update on his condition but really find out what he was doing and what we can all learn from what seemed to be a day of building with a ladder. There is a lot of insight here and a lot to think about as this even caused our team to rethink how we do things on our projects. After that discussion with Danny we will dive into the lifespan of some of the key things in your home so you can better plan for their replacement.
