  Speaker 3: All these modern designs haven't given storage a single thought.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: According to so True, a person responding very very true.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: To me, you could put like a door anywhere. As
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: long as I can put something in it, I'll take it.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: And I wish houses had like a thing where you
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: could lift up the floor and put stuff in the floor.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you're right, we could hide something. Yep. Are
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: actually saying that that we had like a lot of
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: little closets, like we had broom closets. Again, I keep
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: thinking back to my parents. We did and we miss
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: things like that. We miss a built in ironing board.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Did you ever see where you could just it would
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: just drop.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Down out of the wall.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, those were great.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: They should totally bring those back. But you always need it,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: You always need it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: A cedar closet. Those are beautiful. That's like a luxury
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: now if you can and you smell.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Great, But the purpose of a sheeter closet is to
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: keep things really dry right.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Well, and the moths aren't eating and moths. Yeah, the sweaters.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Detached garages for curb appeal, People say, who wants to
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: look at a garage door that takes up sixty percent
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: of the front of the house. But it is nice
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: to like just be inside and right be able to
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: go in dark wood and orange wood. Someone saying, I
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: hate the gray and white washed wood that's everywhere these days.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: And real wood. Remember when the doors were made of
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: real wood and not the fake the kind of part
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: cold whatever it is now. Yeah, you had some heavy
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: doors finished basements because that could be the kids play area.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the first thing we did when we moved
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: in our home. We had we had an unfinished basement
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: for it. We put in all the drywall and got
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it going.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I feel like that's so worth it too, because when
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: you resell. Yeah, I know, we were looking for that
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: claw foot tubs so beautiful, like you know, the freestanding
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: old school. Yeah, I know, they're so gorgeous. Yeah, laundry shoots.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Those were awesome. I use anymore.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: But man, just to get rid of your laundry and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: get it out of your room and not put it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: In a basket and walk it. Yes to you able
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: to drop it and there?
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, especially if it is in the basement right, and
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: then you can drop it all the way down. I
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: have a question, and maybe we have realtor friends who
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: are listening and they can help us in our house.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: You know, we want to do some upgrades. We have
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: central vacuum.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, those are cool.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: They're cool.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: If they work. Doesn't work, it doesn't work.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: You have one if you want to.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: It's there. It looks like it's kind of you know,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: it's definitely. The holes are in the wall, right, you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: with the little flaps. And somewhere in the garage there's
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: this funky little closet that's got the apparatus, but I
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: don't think anyone's used it. I don't think the previous
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: owners used it.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Oh you should totally get that going again. To me,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: that's a luxury because you can.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Just plug in the hose anywhere and not have to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: carry a big, bulky vacuum cleaner anywhere. You just plug
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: in the hose and then I mean, I know you
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: know how it works, but no, I know how.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I'm just wondering, is it is that considered outdated though?
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Like if we're gonna fix up now, which we're planning
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: to do right sort of pro painters are coming by today.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I'm so excited what you're doing. So yeah, so we're
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: moving forward. Do I close up those holes or do
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I look into trying to get this vacuum central vac fixed?
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know how much it is, Like, I have
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: no idea.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: The burning question. Are central vacs still a thing? Can
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you text us at four four three six three four
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: four three six three central vacs.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: In or out? Yes?
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Pull them out or leave it?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: In fact, I say, if you have it, get it
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: up and running. That's what I say. Okay, all right,
• 5:04
