What is Deep Sentinel? This is the worlds first pro-active security system. This can actually prevent crimes versus documenting with cameras what happened or sending off an alarm after someone has already entered your home.
David Selinger was an early employee at Amazon, working directly under Jeff Bezos. He led the R&D arm of Amazon’s data-mining and personalization team. He co-founded Redfin (now a multi-billion dollar company) and founded RichRelevance, a company that offers personalized shopping experiences for large retail brands, including Macy’s, Barneys New York, Office Depot, and others.
He is now inventing the next BIG thing in home security – Deep Sentinel, an AI-based home protection. The company’s intelligent crime prevention transforms home security from false alarms and ineffective after-the-fact crime alerts to real-time crime prediction and prevention. With Deep Sentinel, Americans can gain a reliable, cost-effective way to protect their homes and stop a burglary, mail theft or driveway break-in before it happens – and feel dramatically safer at home, at work, and on vacation.

Many of us saw the headlines.. The Daily Mail showed it as "Moment Colorado contractor takes sledgehammer to newly remodeled bathroom, claiming he wasn't paid" or Yahoo reported the headline as "Footage shows an "angry" contractor with a sledgehammer wrecking a customer's bathroom over a $4,225 payment dispute". The headline really never tells the inside story and if you saw the follow up pictures of the ultra low quality construction you knew there was a massive problem on this jobsite. This low quality work was further destroyed by what everyone saw on the viral video of the contractor swinging the sledgehammer in this womans home and her neighbor filming him. A group of tile contractors and remodeling contractors teamed up with manufacturers to make this wrong right by fixing her shower for free all while showing the right way to do it. We have Jason McDaniel, owner of Stoneman Construction and leader of the Global Tile Posse Facebook Group , William White from Ardex, and the homeowner Amber Trucke in this deep dive into what happened at her house and the feat of this crew to get her that luxury bathroom she had hoped when she hired the origianl contractor.

Have you ever wondered who lived in your house? When was it actually built? Did anyone famous live there? We talk with our friends Chris and Linda from History Attic Research. Does that name sound familiar? You might have seen them on the most recent DIY Network show Stone House Revival or with Kevin O'Connor from This Old House. We discuss some of the great finds and what steps they take in these research projects and what kind of information they find.
Here is what they do: History Attic will research the history of your home or building and property. Our goal with each project is to trace the ownership of the property as far back as records will allow (in Pennsylvania, this means to William Penn).
Our research involves pulling property deeds, consulting historic maps, visiting local historical societies, finding wills with property inventories, and reviewing census records.
The end result is a history of the property owners, their occupations, family stories, and a view of daily life - essentially, it's the genealogy of your home!

9 years ago, life changed in a huge way. It was the hardest day of my life and looking back it was one of the best results. So today is always a day of reflection.
My question for you is how put together is your plan if something went wrong? Could your spouse, business partner or business manager keep things moving if you were not there one day? What if you picked up with no notice and left without
internet or phone for three weeks? Could it function without you? Could someone even open the doors up? So, todays Pro Insider is about working to getting things set up where they are not all on you and making sure that things are well set up for the future…for everyone.

We try to settle the debate with who has the best pizza with all three, Eric G, Caroline B, and David Applebaum. David is known as the Architect of the Stars with a portfolio of clients that is the who’s who of Hollywood.
A little about David Applebaum: David Applebaum Architect creates beautiful works of architecture that are an expression of the life and taste of each client. Indeed, every commission is a uniquely choreographed blend of the client’s dreams, the setting’s personality, and the architect’s insight.
That insight comes from David Applebaum, the studio’s founder, and principal. David Applebaum takes direct charge of each project, bringing his experience and vision to the entire design and building process. One of Southern California’s most highly respected architects; he has proven himself equally adept with both historical and modern designs. Cuba Gooding Jr., Diane Keaton, Frank Sinatra, Rupert Murdoch, Brad Grey, Bob Hope, Manfred Simchowitz, and Jeff Ayeroff are just some of the celebrity clients who have chosen David Applebaum Architect to design their homes. Others like Quincy Jones, Esprit and Virgin Records turn to David Applebaum for their commercial work. Many more, far from the spotlight, also enjoy the studio’s brilliant design and incomparable service. David Applebaum graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Environmental Design from Texas A&M University in 1980. He earned a Master of Architecture from UCLA in 1984, where he was awarded Best Thesis Project. Prior to opening his studio, David Applebaum established his credentials and reputation for excellence at the architectural offices of Edward Grenzbach in Los Angeles, Franklin Israel in Los Angeles and Joseph D’Urso in New York City. David Applebaum has been licensed to practice Architecture in the State of California since 1990.
Currently David’s website is under construction, but he can be reached on social media or a phone call into his studio. He is very active on the Around the House show’s Facebook page and in Around the House nation closed group.

During his television career, which includes being a carpenter on both seasons of HGTV’s Ellen’s Design Challenge and star of DIY Network's I Hate My Bath, Jeff has tackled renovations in every area of the home, including complete overhauls of kitchens, bathrooms, basements and more. In Stone House Revival, Jeff and his team of restoration experts transform Pennsylvania properties older than the country itself into modern living spaces while preserving the home’s historic integrity.
Jeff, owner of School House Woodworking, says his love for historic homes inspired him to completely renovate two centuries-old Pennsylvania farmhouses, one of which he calls home.
We talk with Jeff about how Stone House Revival was brought back to life after nearly two years of being cancelled. Then we dive into his own company School House Woodworking and how he located it inside a shopping mall so people can take classes, purchase custom woodwork and furniture and vintage items.
We dive into the rumors that are on social medai. Is he still married? Is he Gay? How about the search topic that seems to come up "Are there pictures of him without his shirt?" and so much more. Plus a special guest joins in the conversation.
Eric G calls Jeff "The Most Humble Contractor in the trades and on TV" and they will discuss how he has stayed so grounded after nearly 10 years on national television.

Roger isn't just Richardson, Texas' favorite plumber, he's America’s favorite plumber! That “looks great and smells good!” That was a line taken from the winning video of American Standard’s 2016 Plumber Know How contest where Roger was chosen as their The Next Expert Plumber.
Roger is a Texas Master Plumber and an entertaining video creator on YouTube and LinkedIn. He also teaches plumbing and is passionate about green-building and water conservation. He considers becoming a LEED AP in 2009 as a major accomplishment in his plumbing career, as very few plumbers received that certification.
We talk with Roger about the trades and then talk about some of the things that the small amount of bad plumbers try to pull over on homeowners.

We have Caroline Blazovsky "America's Healthy Home Expert" back in the studio as co-host today. That open concept house is still a popular concept. Even after 2020 when people needed a lot of space for online meetings and school... people want that open feeling. You can really get yourself in trouble removing a wall without some research. Is there plumbing there? How about Electrical or HVAC? Plus there is all that engineering that needs to be figured out to see what that wall was already supporting.
Lighting design has changed a lot over even the last couple of years. Understanding how to design a space using the latest in lighting technology can make that job so much easier plus it ends up looking stunning. We talk about some of those key details you should know when you are planning the project.
You dont want to miss Caroline get chased out of the studio with a Wasp making a mad dash at her...Oh there is no way we would edit that out of the show LOL!

In todays episode we talk about how it is on US... the Design and Construction Industry, to tackle the homeless and low-income housing issues. In the US we spend on average $35,578 per year for every person who must endure homelessness. You would think that with that level of effort we would not be having such a growing problem.
We have a brilliant industry. We need to team up with medical professionals and come up with solutions to help fix this problem. Cheap housing is not just the issue as if you just put someone that is not able to help themselves in a home it will quickly get destroyed. This will take a team effort. Lets discuss HOW we could do it in todays Around the House Pro Insider.

It used to be a California thing. Last year you saw the power company pulling down power when the winds went up and the dry air was blowing. Now we can expect that to happen across the Western US. Are you ready? Do you have water, fuel and a generator?
With the hot dry weather we are seeing already this season you should be ready for this to happen anytime in the US. I would be extra prepared for the West Coast.
