1:44
Speaker 3: one sport in the United States and Mississippi in growth.
1:48
Speaker 4: Wow.
1:49
Speaker 3: And I think when you watch and you really get
1:51
Speaker 3: to understand it and you figure it out, you understand
1:53
Speaker 3: why it is growing like that. You know, it's so
1:56
Speaker 3: much faster, say than girls softball or basketball, and but
2:00
Speaker 3: it's fun.

Speaker 1: Sports Trophy for the fall of twenty twenty six.
2:19
Speaker 3: It's gonna be busy and and you know within that,
2:23
Speaker 3: you know, I got to figure out how to work
2:24
Speaker 3: ten hours.
2:25
Speaker 2: A day, that's right, figure it out out right.
2:27
Speaker 1: So, speaking of Todd Sandridge Superior Foundation and Town of Livingston,
2:32
Speaker 1: so y'all decided this a.
2:35
Speaker 2: Beautiful piece of property.
2:36
Speaker 1: Man's gorgeous, okay for sixty three and twenty two meet
2:39
Speaker 1: and it's got everything that you need. So walk us
2:43
Speaker 1: through kind of phase one in the next.
2:47
Speaker 3: Three or four months. I'd like to think you know both.
2:50
Speaker 3: I mean it is. I will say this, and I've
2:53
Speaker 3: always said this. It is the most beautiful piece of
2:56
Speaker 3: property in Madison County. And there's a lot of pretty
2:58
Speaker 3: proper So it's not like everything else is desolate. It's
3:01
Speaker 3: just it's beautiful where it sits. There's a tremendous amount
3:04
Speaker 3: of history there. It actually was, you know, the first
3:07
Speaker 3: county seat in the County of Madison and only to
3:11
Speaker 3: be left stranded by the railroad. But you know, the
3:17
Speaker 3: original developers had a good really, really conceptually. They did
3:20
Speaker 3: a good job of kind of trying to bring that
3:23
Speaker 3: back to life. Obviously, sometimes, as we know, in partnerships,
3:26
Speaker 3: things don't always work out. But you know, we we
3:31
Speaker 3: we definitely grabbed hold of their vision and and expanded
3:34
Speaker 3: it a bit.
3:35
Speaker 4: And I think it's fun. You know.
3:37
Speaker 3: One of the one of the problems that we have
3:38
Speaker 3: right now is a great problem, and that is we
3:41
Speaker 3: don't have any more space.
3:43
Speaker 4: I have people calling. I just actually was answering an.
3:45
Speaker 3: Email off air a minute ago about somebody who's wanting
3:48
Speaker 3: to move a store here.
3:50
Speaker 4: I don't have the space.
3:51
Speaker 2: We do.
3:51
Speaker 3: However, have you know almost thirty thousand feet of commercial
3:54
Speaker 3: space coming?
3:55
Speaker 1: Okay, so so thirty thousand feet, yes, commercial space feet
3:59
Speaker 1: are coming in the next twenty four months, yes, and.
4:01
Speaker 3: With and likely in the next eighteen months. We're waiting
4:04
Speaker 3: on a few engineers here and there. And it's also
4:07
Speaker 3: exciting because the idea of those type developments is also
4:10
Speaker 3: combining the commercial and the residential companie and and the
4:13
Speaker 3: lifestyle component of it. Frankly when those two meet, and
4:15
Speaker 3: that's what's nice. We're about to start twenty six residential homes.
4:20
Speaker 3: It's been approved by the County of Minas and we've
4:22
Speaker 3: been waiting on m DOT for our entrants all four
4:25
Speaker 3: sixty three and that changes engineering. A lot of people go, man,
4:28
Speaker 3: what's all the weight? But you know, you know where
4:32
Speaker 3: they determine where that entrance is how you know, we
4:34
Speaker 3: determine what our elevation and scale is. So you can't
4:36
Speaker 3: finish engineering. So we've got about two or three weeks
4:38
Speaker 3: left on that. I'm holding my engineer, you know, calling
4:41
Speaker 3: him daily.
4:41
Speaker 2: He's sharing mind at me.
4:43
Speaker 3: But as soon as we finish that, we'll be able
4:44
Speaker 3: to start cutting roads in I think in the next
4:46
Speaker 3: thirty days and and we'll be we'll be going vertical
4:50
Speaker 3: on on residential this year in twenty twenty two.
4:52
Speaker 2: Hearing football season. Absolutely all right, show you're looking.
4:55
Speaker 1: We're visiting with Todd Sandridge, Town of Livingston and Superior
4:59
Speaker 1: found on ESPN one five nine in the zone. So
5:03
Speaker 1: you got thirty thousand square feet of commercial space coming
5:06
Speaker 1: and the first phase I think what you told me
5:09
Speaker 1: Todd is twenty six zero lotline homes, a town of
5:12
Speaker 1: Livingston yep, okay, yep.
5:14
Speaker 2: And you know which is exciting.
5:15
Speaker 4: It is And if you you know.
5:16
Speaker 3: You think about some good developments here and T and
5:19
Speaker 3: D communities are popping up everywhere. Not a ton in
5:21
Speaker 3: the South or even the Deep South, but you've got
5:23
Speaker 3: stuff like the township on Holland Colony, the village at
5:27
Speaker 3: Minus in over there. Sure, and and there are a few,
5:31
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a couple in Brandon that are similar.
5:33
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, it's it's really
5:36
Speaker 3: the lifestyle component of the live work lifestyle, and you know,
5:41
Speaker 3: it's a neat deal. We've had some cool we we
5:43
Speaker 3: developed a low area behind a dam and kind of
5:46
Speaker 3: a mini amphitheater. We had four shows out there and
5:50
Speaker 3: Jackson pointed out out, I mean, they were full and
5:51
Speaker 3: they were fun.
5:52
Speaker 4: We had a good time.
5:54
Speaker 3: People could rather golf cart or the side by side
5:56
Speaker 3: over or they came.
5:57
Speaker 4: We had plenty of parking for.
5:58
Speaker 3: Everybody else and that's only going to expand we're gonna
6:02
Speaker 3: do some cool things too this year on the Square,
6:04
Speaker 3: and we're talking about possibly doing you know, if if
6:08
Speaker 3: the big three are out of town, we might throw
6:11
Speaker 3: something on a big screen in the square at Levingston
6:13
Speaker 3: and be able to celebrate with all the all the
6:16
Speaker 3: folks out there that that make Livingston great too. You
6:18
Speaker 3: mentioned Martin's and there's a lot of other good you
6:21
Speaker 3: know stores out there, and there'll be more. You know,
6:23
Speaker 3: there's a new coffee shop which is great. You've got
6:25
Speaker 3: the Brass, You've got Mexican restaurants, you've got a lot
6:28
Speaker 3: of good retail and stuff like that.
6:29
Speaker 4: So we'll be able to celebrate with everybody, right.
6:33
Speaker 1: And last night I was there, it was packed, all right,
6:36
Speaker 1: so think about that.
6:37
Speaker 3: It's a Thursday night in the summer. Yeah, it was packed. Yeah,
6:41
Speaker 3: school started and fight.
6:42
Speaker 1: There was a band. I mean, it was just a
6:43
Speaker 1: great night to be at Martin's and Livingston. So what
6:45
Speaker 1: you're saying is there the demand is there? Yes, for
6:49
Speaker 1: people to celebrate and either live or go and and
6:53
Speaker 1: enjoy the restaurants or coffee shops and and like you said,
6:57
Speaker 1: the four shows that y'all did in that cool little
6:59
Speaker 1: amphitheater that y'all created.
7:00
Speaker 3: Well, we're we're we're working on train are working on
7:03
Speaker 3: some plans right now to do to do a a
7:07
Speaker 3: larger event venue in the town. We also have the
7:10
Speaker 3: Inn at Livingston coming, so we'll have and it'll be
7:14
Speaker 3: a really high end end that you can go. You know,
7:18
Speaker 3: and I think we need that. I think we need
7:21
Speaker 3: something other than just you know the hotel. Right, You've
7:24
Speaker 3: got a lot of executives that come in and out,
7:26
Speaker 3: particularly with some of these Amazon plants and Nissan plants,
7:28
Speaker 3: things like that. You know, lawyers, you know all those people,
7:32
Speaker 3: and and and it has an opportunity to come in
7:34
Speaker 3: and have that little home feel, but in a really
7:38
Speaker 3: highly decorated, nice room.
7:39
Speaker 2: So so this will be like a boutique.
7:41
Speaker 3: It will it'll be a boutique hotel, and it's there's
7:44
Speaker 3: not gonna be an attendant and all that. You go eat,
7:46
Speaker 3: you go down. You know, you can grab dinner at Martin's,
7:49
Speaker 3: you can go grab a couple of coffee at the
7:50
Speaker 3: coffee shop in the morning, and and and and and breakfast.
7:53
Speaker 3: So the idea is, and a lot of us have
7:56
Speaker 3: been to the coastal areas where you know, you go in,
7:59
Speaker 3: you check in with a code, there's no attendant, there's
8:00
Speaker 3: no nothing.
8:01
Speaker 4: So and and really have that boutique in feel.
8:04
Speaker 2: That'd be great.
8:05
Speaker 3: I We're excited about that and that that that'll be
8:07
Speaker 3: within the next eighteen months.
8:08
Speaker 2: Okay.
8:09
Speaker 1: Todd Sandridge, Town of Livingston and Superior Foundation on the
8:13
Speaker 1: Out of Crosstown Builders is also in this. Yeah, you
8:17
Speaker 1: and Tray have on that for twenty years and then
8:20
Speaker 1: you rolled out Superior Foundation fifteen years ago.
8:23
Speaker 3: Yeah close, and U man, I tell you that's that.
8:25
Speaker 3: I find myself doing that more and more now. You know,
8:28
Speaker 3: I'm thankful for all the great customers that we have,
8:32
Speaker 3: the corners we have in real estate and engineers and
8:35
Speaker 3: things like that that really trust us. And I've got
8:38
Speaker 3: we've got great staff. We've got good people that are trustworthy,
8:42
Speaker 3: that hold the same integrity line and standard that we do.
8:46
Speaker 3: I think people notice that, and it is It's just
8:49
Speaker 3: been a tenfold blessing in that business.
8:52
Speaker 1: Todd Sandridge on the Out of Bounds Show. One thing
8:54
Speaker 1: that you said is you and Trey and so many
8:57
Speaker 1: others want the town of Livingston to be destination.
9:00
Speaker 2: Yes.
9:01
Speaker 3: Yes, now that's what you just described is you know,
9:04
Speaker 3: and it's food. I want a food destination. We're talking
9:06
Speaker 3: to some other restaurants as we speak. I want it
9:09
Speaker 3: to be a boutique, you know, a destination for clothing,
9:12
Speaker 3: both men's women's children. We're talking to several retailers like that.
9:17
Speaker 3: I want to, you know, I want a woman's spa.
9:20
Speaker 3: We we already have a great place for us men
9:22
Speaker 3: to go and and enjoy a beer trim or a haircut,
9:25
Speaker 3: a noble barber and Lantis Noble. I mean, first of all,
9:27
Speaker 3: if you don't know Lanta's Noble, you're missing out right.
9:31
Speaker 3: Dude's just awesome. Yeah, great guy, and I like him
9:33
Speaker 3: a lot. He's just a good person. He has a
9:36
Speaker 3: lot of antique car shows out there. He's big on
9:38
Speaker 3: antique cars. And when he has the next one, jump
9:41
Speaker 3: out there on a Saturday morning and have some coffee
9:43
Speaker 3: and donuts with him because it's a lot of fun.
9:46
Speaker 4: I love it.
9:46
Speaker 1: Todd Sandridge on the Out of Bound show ESPN one
9:50
Speaker 1: to five.
9:51
Speaker 2: Down the Zone. So let's recap again.
9:53
Speaker 1: You're gonna have thirty thousand square feet of commercial space
9:57
Speaker 1: in the in the next eighteen months are set, and
9:59
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have twenty six zero lot lines homes
10:03
Speaker 1: in the next.
10:04
Speaker 3: And we'll have a total bow of seventy four when
10:06
Speaker 3: we get finished. Okay, we're gonna start with twenty six
10:09
Speaker 3: I don't think that's gonna be enough with the amount
10:11
Speaker 3: of people that have called me, So.
10:13
Speaker 4: We'll jump right into phase two and three pretty quick.
10:16
Speaker 4: I'm sure that's.
10:18
Speaker 2: You love all that design style, and I love it.
10:21
Speaker 1: Do you know what y'all are gonna do as far
10:24
Speaker 1: as how do I say this the look or the
10:26
Speaker 1: architecture of the homes.
10:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're going to see a lot bow
10:29
Speaker 3: of craftsman style. I mean, the idea of the town
10:32
Speaker 3: of Livingston is you know, and there's some oversight there
10:36
Speaker 3: with an MLHPD Madison Livingston Historical Preservation District, which I like,
10:42
Speaker 3: you know, listen, the thing is is we're trying to,
10:44
Speaker 3: you know, restore that kind of historical look.
10:47
Speaker 4: So we'll have a lot of craftsman style, a lot of.
10:49
Speaker 3: You know, front yard fences, you know, good old neighbor
10:54
Speaker 3: come down sidewalks. It's just, you know, it's gonna feel
10:58
Speaker 3: like a good home, old hometown and I love that.
11:01
Speaker 3: You know, you're gonna park in the rear alley, so again,
11:04
Speaker 3: you know, similar to some of the that's cool that
11:06
Speaker 3: that you know, Lost Rabbit and the village that might
11:08
Speaker 3: haves in the township. Places like that, so so with that,
11:12
Speaker 3: a lot of people wonder why you do that? With that,
11:15
Speaker 3: What you do is you're so inclusive on that front door,
11:17
Speaker 3: that front porch.
11:18
Speaker 4: Yeah.
11:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, so so it's a lot of front porchs hanging out.
11:21
Speaker 3: If you drive through the township in the afternoon, that's,
11:23
Speaker 3: you know, encourage you to do that. At five thirty
11:25
Speaker 3: or six, you're gonna see a lot of neighbors and they're
11:26
Speaker 3: just all sitting down there front absolutely and people walking around.
11:29
Speaker 4: They're walking dogs, walking their.
11:30
Speaker 2: Kids and having a glass of wine.
11:31
Speaker 3: That's right, man, they're having a cocktail on the porch
11:33
Speaker 3: or or they're taking a run around the block.
11:35
Speaker 2: You know. Okay, do you and Trey know yet?
11:39
Speaker 1: The average square footage roughly of the of the home.
11:43
Speaker 3: So it's you know interesting in a development like that
11:45
Speaker 3: boat you know, you can usually pinpoint that in most developments,
11:48
Speaker 3: and something like this, you're gonna get so much. You've
11:50
Speaker 3: got a lot of people that are maybe living in
11:52
Speaker 3: a big house somewhere they want to downside sure, and
11:55
Speaker 3: then you've got a lot of young professionals that maybe
11:58
Speaker 3: want something super nice, not super big. So my guess
12:02
Speaker 3: is you're probably gonna average around you know, twenty eight
12:05
Speaker 3: hundred to thirty two hundred. I think you're gonna see
12:08
Speaker 3: some forty five forty eight hundreds, and I think you're
12:10
Speaker 3: gonna see some twenty six hundreds. But at the end
12:13
Speaker 3: of the day, I you know, the idea is everybody's
12:16
Speaker 3: house will look nice because I am the Architectural View Committee,
12:18
Speaker 3: and they're gonna be They're gonna be great both inside,
12:21
Speaker 3: you know, you know, or the outside, and we're gonna
12:23
Speaker 3: encourage everybody obviously to really really dance them up. But
12:26
Speaker 3: the cool thing is too and I want to point
12:28
Speaker 3: this out because I did this in one of my
12:29
Speaker 3: developments in Startville, and that is, you know, we're gonna
12:32
Speaker 3: include you know, yard maintenance and things like that within
12:34
Speaker 3: your homeowners dues. So everybody's yard gets cut at the
12:39
Speaker 3: same time, they get edged and blown off and all that.
12:41
Speaker 4: At the same time.
12:43
Speaker 3: We're also actually at thinking about and contemplating adding a
12:47
Speaker 3: few other maintenance things like a house cleaning once a
12:49
Speaker 3: year and stuff like that. But but the idea is
12:52
Speaker 3: to make sure that everybody lives in a community where
12:54
Speaker 3: it's neighborly, nobody's mad at each other.
12:56
Speaker 4: And I'll tell you the idea.
12:58
Speaker 3: Came to us for that name in Starblo and Portico
13:01
Speaker 3: and Bo you're right by well run. I still get
13:04
Speaker 3: calls from people who have maybe bought a second or
13:07
Speaker 3: third home in there and going, man, I'm so glad
13:08
Speaker 3: you did that, Like, what a great concept to put
13:11
Speaker 3: that in. And and so I've already told people about
13:15
Speaker 3: this and they're all fired up about it.
13:16
Speaker 4: So those are some of the cool things that I
13:18
Speaker 4: think you'll find.
13:19
Speaker 1: It'll be more neighborly, thirty thousand square feet coming to
13:22
Speaker 1: a commercial space, coming to the town of Livingston. You
13:26
Speaker 1: got a boutique hotel, You'll have more retail and restaurants. Yeah,
13:31
Speaker 1: and uh, Tied and Tray are going to start off
13:34
Speaker 1: with twenty six homes zero light line, which Tide just
13:37
Speaker 1: walks you through, and then probably end up with seventy
13:40
Speaker 1: four Yeah by the end of the whole deal.
13:42
Speaker 4: And we'll put it.
13:43
Speaker 3: You know, I'm putting together a builders guild now of
13:47
Speaker 3: some really you know, really good builders who are high
13:50
Speaker 3: end have integrity that people can choose from on that
13:53
Speaker 3: builder's guild and they can walk through and say, okay,
13:55
Speaker 3: I want that person to that fir. Certainly we'll do
13:57
Speaker 3: a few in there as well, but really encourage that
14:01
Speaker 3: as well. So there's there's different styles, different you know,
14:04
Speaker 3: creative styles in there, and I think it's gonna be
14:06
Speaker 3: nice for everybody.
14:07
Speaker 1: Were you all surprised at how many people showed up
14:10
Speaker 1: for the four shows and the Amphitheater out of town?
14:13
Speaker 3: And let me, I gotta tell you yes, I mean
14:15
Speaker 3: you know, and and you know we were doing this
14:19
Speaker 3: and and just trying it out, and you you've got
14:21
Speaker 3: to figure it out.
14:21
Speaker 4: You've got to figure out what we have.
14:24
Speaker 3: And uh and uh, we partnered with with your friend
14:27
Speaker 3: Joseph Stadge or my friend. He and I've got to
14:30
Speaker 3: be good friends. I really like the GAB but we've
14:31
Speaker 3: partnered with them. He's done a lot of live music
14:34
Speaker 3: and things like that. And but but you know, not
14:36
Speaker 3: that one of us, you know, looked at each other
14:38
Speaker 3: and knew how to how to figure out what we
14:40
Speaker 3: had right in you're in the spring summer area. Our
14:44
Speaker 3: last shows were in May. But I got to tell you, man,
14:47
Speaker 3: we were so pumped so and it had like over
14:50
Speaker 3: seven hundred people for some and we averaged about seven
14:53
Speaker 3: hundred per show and the and and four shows and
14:56
Speaker 3: the cool thing was is when the people walked out
14:58
Speaker 3: and there was a couple of shows that you and
15:00
Speaker 3: I will be standing out talking kind of as people
15:02
Speaker 3: were leaving, and they were just they were hugging us
15:05
Speaker 3: and going high five on us, and man, we're so
15:07
Speaker 3: glad this is here. And so we're super excited about
15:10
Speaker 3: doing some more of that in twenty twenty seven.
15:12
Speaker 1: And that's the perfect time to do that is September
15:16
Speaker 1: October through back.
15:17
Speaker 2: Yeah.
15:18
Speaker 3: Well, you know, you compete with football, and Joseph and I,
15:21
Speaker 3: you know, we talked through that a little bit. We
15:22
Speaker 3: are going to probably try to throw some football in there,
15:25
Speaker 3: but look, we're in the deep South, man, Friday nights
15:27
Speaker 3: or high school football on Saturdays for college football. But
15:30
Speaker 3: what we are going to do is probably expand that
15:32
Speaker 3: in the spring a little bit. Okay, summertime in Jackson,
15:34
Speaker 3: Mississippi's pretty dog oh lot, and when the sun goes
15:37
Speaker 3: down at eight forty five, you know, and you've got
15:39
Speaker 3: to be done around ten, right because we got residential
15:42
Speaker 3: around there.
15:42
Speaker 4: So sure, you know, the summertime it gets good tough.
15:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're contemplating maybe doing one or two in
15:47
Speaker 3: the fall, but okay, yeah, well when you do four
15:51
Speaker 3: shows and you have over seven hundred people on average
15:55
Speaker 3: plus show up, then the demand's there, you know, and
15:59
Speaker 3: it's fun to see the people drive over from you know,
16:01
Speaker 3: on their golf cart or other side by side from
16:03
Speaker 3: Chestnut Hill right right, and that's a good night for them.
16:06
Speaker 3: And as we get people in the residential area of
16:09
Speaker 3: the town of Livingston and they can walk over or
16:11
Speaker 3: they can rund a golf court over, and that's the
16:13
Speaker 3: type of fun and lifestyle that we're trying to create
16:15
Speaker 3: there and destination.
16:16
Speaker 1: As you said, Todd Sandridge talking about the town of Livingstone,
16:21
Speaker 1: things are happening. And we've got thirty thousand square feet
16:24
Speaker 1: of commercial space coming and twenty six zero lot line
16:28
Speaker 1: homes with seventy four on the way, boutique hotel, a
16:32
Speaker 1: bunch of other retail and restaurants.
16:34
Speaker 2: And so on.
16:35
Speaker 1: Let's go to Superior Foundation before before you go to
16:39
Speaker 1: Hattisburg to watch your daughter play volleyball, which is awesome.
16:43
Speaker 1: So we've talked to you about this, you and trace
16:47
Speaker 1: all the demand. Yeah, your local your work comes with
16:50
Speaker 1: a warranty, and so Superior Dot in mass A. What
16:54
Speaker 1: do homeowners miss until it's too late or until they're
16:59
Speaker 1: in pets.
17:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point, and I'm glad you said that,
17:03
Speaker 3: because the reason we started Superior Foundation Services is because
17:07
Speaker 3: of other people not warranting.
17:09
Speaker 2: Right.
17:10
Speaker 3: And and I got to be honest with you, as
17:11
Speaker 3: a man who you know, has trouble sleeping at night,
17:14
Speaker 3: if I forgot to pay you know, bo bounds five
17:16
Speaker 3: dollars back that he lonely. You know, I that bugged me, man,
17:19
Speaker 3: It really really bothered me that people didn't stand behind
17:22
Speaker 3: their work. They didn't you know, return a phone call
17:25
Speaker 3: things like that. And you know, when there's a call
17:28
Speaker 3: that comes in and somebody wants us to rerun some
17:31
Speaker 3: measurements or anything like that, that's first priority. Sure, I
17:33
Speaker 3: don't care what we have that day. That's number one priority,
17:36
Speaker 3: because that's why we started the business. The thing that
17:39
Speaker 3: people miss bo is is the is the little stuff.
17:43
Speaker 3: You know, you get busy and and you're you're doing
17:45
Speaker 3: this show in the morning. Then you know, you go
17:47
Speaker 3: off and see Wilkes and Ella Hall and Starville, and
17:50
Speaker 3: then you come back home at night, and then you
17:51
Speaker 3: got to get up at four in the morning, and
17:53
Speaker 3: you don't walk around the side of your house, you know,
17:56
Speaker 3: and you wait for the termite guy to tell you
17:58
Speaker 3: or your yard guy to tell you, hey, there's cracks
18:00
Speaker 3: over there.
18:01
Speaker 4: The biggest thing is is people can.
18:03
Speaker 3: Catch is it the whole house doesn't start leaning the
18:07
Speaker 3: whole house, or business doesn't start. I mean, I got
18:09
Speaker 3: to fix a big building on Lakeland in two weeks
18:13
Speaker 3: and it didn't just start. The guy that owns the
18:15
Speaker 3: building knows, you know, the landlord who's actually the United
18:19
Speaker 3: States government, which is funny. They it just did it
18:22
Speaker 3: over time, right, So we got to go in there
18:24
Speaker 3: and repair the whole building. What should have happened and
18:26
Speaker 3: what needs to happen is is if you see something little,
18:29
Speaker 3: the little fix.
18:30
Speaker 4: Is a lot cheaper than the big fix, right.
18:32
Speaker 3: And so if I can tell anybody anything, if you've
18:36
Speaker 3: got some and cracks don't always mean you have foundation
18:39
Speaker 3: problems either, guys, you know, I mean there's a lot,
18:41
Speaker 3: you know, I would say probably fifty percent of the
18:43
Speaker 3: cause we go on, we just go, hey, you're in
18:45
Speaker 3: good shape, you know. You know, there's a little bit
18:47
Speaker 3: of a header crack there, wind distribution maybe something like that,
18:50
Speaker 3: but you.
18:51
Speaker 2: Know it's not nine one one, it's not.
18:53
Speaker 3: And but but i'd rather you call absolutely because if hey,
18:56
Speaker 3: there's a little corner down here, we can prop that
18:58
Speaker 3: up and it'll keep the whole thing because it chase
19:00
Speaker 3: itself all the way through and that whole slab or
19:03
Speaker 3: conventional we find ourselves doing a ton of conventional foundation work,
19:07
Speaker 3: whether it's encapsulations, putting moisture barriers down. You know, we
19:11
Speaker 3: might be putting dehumidifiers in, fixing rotten joys, rotten seal plates,
19:15
Speaker 3: things like that. Those things didn't happen overnight, right, so
19:19
Speaker 3: most of us and look, I'm one of those. I
19:21
Speaker 3: just told you my schedule for the fault. Sure it's
19:23
Speaker 3: going to be busy, right, You miss some things. I
19:25
Speaker 3: miss things in my own house. I mean changing air
19:27
Speaker 3: filter stuff like that. And then the next thing, you know, well,
19:32
Speaker 3: the next thing, you know, you don't want to be
19:33
Speaker 3: replacing a whole new unit, right, It's a whole lot
19:36
Speaker 3: cheaper to go grab a tude dollar filter and put
19:39
Speaker 3: it in.
19:40
Speaker 4: So Drew Brees will be able to do that when
19:42
Speaker 4: he goes lows now.
19:43
Speaker 3: Right. So at the end of the day, you know,
19:45
Speaker 3: you we miss stuff because we're busy. It's a free evaluation.
19:50
Speaker 3: If you live in the three track county area we'll
19:52
Speaker 3: give you. And if you're outside of that area, it's
19:53
Speaker 3: not very much. Just you know, which are just a
19:56
Speaker 3: little bit to go look at it. But at the
19:57
Speaker 3: end of the day, it's it's a free evaluation.
20:00
Speaker 1: How much we got a couple of minutes here, Todd Sandridge,
20:03
Speaker 1: Town of Livingston and Superior Foundations, Superior Dot in mess
20:08
Speaker 1: How much of your work is driveways and parking lots.
20:12
Speaker 3: A good bit bo I mean, you know, we don't
20:14
Speaker 3: always take out the whole driveway, although we have had
20:16
Speaker 3: a few of those here lately. A lot of times
20:18
Speaker 3: it's just sections, right, you'll see where you have expansion
20:20
Speaker 3: joint to expansion joint. You know, not to dog anybody out,
20:24
Speaker 3: but a lot of these these flat work poors like driveways,
20:28
Speaker 3: pool decks, patios, things like that. Man, they don't put
20:30
Speaker 3: enough rebar or reinforcement in there. We find that a
20:33
Speaker 3: lot things start crumbling and cracking. And sometimes it's a
20:37
Speaker 3: budget thing. Hey we'll take out this half that you
20:39
Speaker 3: know now and maybe sure next half next year when
20:41
Speaker 3: you get a bonus or whatever.
20:42
Speaker 4: But we do a good bit of that.
20:44
Speaker 3: We've got, uh, we've got a couple of commercial businesses
20:47
Speaker 3: on retainer that that you know, we'll go in and
20:50
Speaker 3: you know they own a lot here and we'll replace
20:52
Speaker 3: pieces of their parking lots.
20:54
Speaker 4: Things like that. You get heavy trucks and equipment driving in.
20:56
Speaker 3: Absolutely, we just quoted a huge job down in Risland,
20:59
Speaker 3: had a big truck plan and now I think that
21:01
Speaker 3: turned into three more estimates. But you know, just doing
21:04
Speaker 3: rock and you know compacting, you know, gravel, things like that.
21:07
Speaker 4: But most of it always revolves around drainage.
21:10
Speaker 3: So any parking lot, any driveway, any home business, whatever
21:13
Speaker 3: we fix, there's they've got a drainage problem. And I
21:16
Speaker 3: would say eighty percent of the time we combine that
21:19
Speaker 3: with drainage because drainage caused the problem.
21:21
Speaker 2: Right, right, And you also do French strains, yes.
21:23
Speaker 4: And we do a lot of them.
21:25
Speaker 3: And frankly, most of the time when we go see somebody,
21:28
Speaker 3: they may not need anything with their foundation.
21:30
Speaker 4: It's it may be touch and go.
21:32
Speaker 3: It's a little bit on the edge, but we need
21:34
Speaker 3: drainage so it doesn't get worse.
21:36
Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, that's right.
21:37
Speaker 1: Todd Sandridge Tray Pace, Town of Livingston, Superior Foundation, Crosstown Builders,
21:43
Speaker 1: Superior dot MS French strains obviously, foundation repairs, driveways and
21:48
