Yes, that is true, however we do age and with that, mobility declines, vision becomes weaker, and soon it all goes to hell in a handbasket! 

On this episode we are going to talk about aging in place! That means staying put where you are whether it's a condo, single family home, townhouse or barndomineum! The place you will be living independently as long as you can. If you plan to build a new home or remodel the one you are currently in there are so many great products and designs these days to make your space more comfortable and user friendly.

But when I do it's because the window was open!!!!!

Let me start by saying that our two guests today will definitely be back! Slade Sloan, GM of the custom window division at Builders First Source and Lance LeBlanc, a window nerd and expert on large doors (he said it, not me), builder sales rep for BFS not only provided us with valuable information but kept us all laughing in the process.

We discuss the types of windows on the market from a material standpoint as well as price point and value. From there we move on to sliding doors! No, not like the sliding door you had in your first apartment that you used a broom stick to securely lock. Over the last several years manufacturers have engineered these doors to be made larger and larger. There are different types of sliders as well as accordian doors. All of this is covered to help you make the right decision when remodeling or building a custom home.

To learn more about these products and other offerings from BFS go to https://www.bldr.com/ 

Their 13,000 sq.ft. showroom is located at 16002 Tomball Parkway just off of Beltway 8.

I decided that after getting so many questions about the pros and cons of engineered wood floors, solid wood and luxury vinyl plank I would ask a pro to provide the answers. On this episode we take a deep dive into these various types of flooring so you as the consumer can decide which is the best fit for your home.

Joining us is our friend Tracy Burnett with Floors Etc., a boutique flooring showroom just outside of downtown Houston. They offer flooring in all price points and have a great staff to guide you through the selection process.
