The Gold Coast property flipping market looks exciting from the outside, but the people making money are not guessing. They are treating it like a business.In this episode of Buying Gold Coast, I sit down with Gold Coast renovator Patty Glennon to talk about what it actually takes to buy, renovate and flip property for profit.After securing her 18th deal, Patty shares the lessons she has learned from renovating homes across the Gold Coast, including where money is made, where money is wasted, and why successful flipping is often more about discipline, numbers and smart decisions than flashy design choices.This episode is not just about making a property look good. It is about understanding the numbers, the buyer, the market and the decisions that can make or break a renovation.Sponsored by yourtown
You are a teacher to someone. If God is just sort of an attachment to our lives, then let the free-for-all begin. But if he's our king, then he's our rabbi. He's our teacher and we're his student. So, our primary occupation, your primary occupation, if he's your king, our primary vocation, our primary career, if you will, regardless of what our job or career is, is to be a teacher of the kingdom through our example and our words in that order.

Any Pinterest or web search on “mid-century kitchen” is going to yield a plethora of open plan kitchens featuring a central island. But as we learned a couple of weeks ago from friend of the pod (and mid-century houses everywhere), Atom Stevens, a mid-century kitchen is a room with four walls.So where did this “open mid-century kitchen” myth come from?I'm wrapping up our kitchen season with a deep dive into one of my all-time favorite open kitchen plans - it's also very likely THE OG island kitchen - The Stahl House (Case Study House 22), designed by California architect Pierre Koenig.In today's episode you'll hear:Why this open kitchen is actually defined by constraints. Which elements make this dramatic kitchen eminently useable. How to adapt Koenig's creative design moves to work in even the most modest mid-century ranch.

Today's story: Beneath the streets of Paris is a huge network of underground tunnels filled with the bones of millions of former residents. Originally built as limestone quarries, the tunnels became a burial site in the 1700s after Paris's cemeteries became overcrowded and unhealthy. The city recently completed a major renovation project to preserve the catacombs and improve conditions for visitors.

Key TakeawaysPrivate money + confidenceRay rebuilt after 2009 by using private capital from friends/family and backing it with confidence and a clear story.Buy cheap, cash-flowing assetsSingle-family play: buy well below rebuild cost, add light renos, and rent Section 8 for strong cash flow.Principle carries forward: hard to lose if you buy under value.Why exit 100 SFRsHeadaches and damage from low-end tenants scaled with door count.Commercial/triple-net tenants maintain the space and see it as part of their brand.Early commercial winsFirst commercial: $30k office with $80k in liens, made workable via city lien-relief program.Realized niche opportunity in turnkey restaurant/first-gen spaces → higher rents, strong demand.How he picks markets/locationsFollows directional growth and “vibe” by driving day/night.Buys one street off the main corridor for better pricing + similar zoning.Watches zoning meetings and parking/transit changes to front-run value jumps.Renovation & risk lessonsAlways add 20–30% contingency on value-add deals.Fully vet tenant equipment + code requirements (his tenant's oven added ~$50k in surprise work).Best “first commercial deal” for SFR ownersStart with a small office / multi-tenant office (possibly occupy one suite).Use it to build bank credibility and learn commercial without jumping straight into a big, complex project.

Episode SummaryDan opens with something that might ruffle a few feathers: gray exterior paint has had a long run, and it's starting to show. He talks about where the design world seems to be heading instead. Then he takes a detour into the surprisingly long and interesting story of how the tape measure came to be. From there, he walks through six practical budgeting tips for anyone with a renovation project on the horizon. And he closes out with a solid how-to on painting a front door, including one trick most people don't know that can save you from a really frustrating result.In This Episode[00:00] -- Is Gray Going Out? Exterior Color Trends Right Now[05:27] -- The Surprisingly Long History of the Tape Measure[18:43] -- Six Budgeting Tips to Keep Your Renovation on Track[34:30] -- How to Paint Your Front Door the Right WaySegment 1: Is Gray Going Out? Exterior Color Trends Right Now [00:00]Why Gray Took Over [00:50]Dan opens with a mild provocation: if you're thinking about painting the exterior of your home this year, gray might not be the move it used to be. Not because it looks bad -- it doesn't -- but because it's become the default. Drive through almost any subdivision built or updated in the last decade and you're looking at gray on gray on gray. When a color gets that ubiquitous, it stops signaling that someone made a deliberate choice. It just signals that someone painted a house.Gray came in as a reaction to the builder-beige era, and when it first appeared it really did look sharp. The modern farmhouse look, black window frames, white trim -- it all worked beautifully together. It still does. But a decade is a long time to run on the same palette, and a lot of homeowners are starting to feel like their neighborhood looks a little sterile. A little samey.What's Taking Its Place [02:42]The shift that's showing up in paint stores and design forecasts is toward colors that feel connected to the natural world around them. Warm greens, muted sage tones, earthy olives, sandy neutrals, warm taupes, creamy whites, and greige (the gray-beige hybrid) are all gaining ground. These aren't colors that scream for attention, but they don't disappear either. They feel settled. They feel like they belong to the land around them -- to wood and stone and brick and landscaping.Importantly, a lot of these same tones are showing up in interior color forecasts too, which makes sense. They're grounded, natural colors that work in a lot of contexts.The short version for anyone thinking about an exterior project this year: the design world is starting to say "maybe try something warmer." Cool, flat gray has had its moment.Dan's first rule of color still applies, though: if you like it, that's pretty much all that matters.Getting Help Choosing an Exterior Color [04:15]Picking a specific exterior color involves a lot of variables -- roof color, brick or stone if you have it, how much sun the house gets, which direction it faces. RepcoLite color consultants can help in store based on photos you bring in. Some will come out to the house for a design fee and make recommendations in person. Stop into any RepcoLite location to start that conversation, or reach Dan directly at radio@repcolite.com and he'll connect you with the right people.Segment 2: The Surprisingly Long History of the Tape Measure [05:27]Measuring Before Tape Measures [06:10]People have needed to measure things for as long as they've been building things. Early on that meant body parts -- hands, feet, fingers. The Egyptians used cubit rods. Surveyors used rods, cords, and chains, including something called Gunter's chain, which turned out to be less exciting than it sounds: a 66-foot chain made of around 100 links, dragged through farmland and over rocks. Useful, but not exactly something you clip to your belt. Tailors had flexible cloth tapes, but those could stretch, wear out, and absorb moisture, making them fine for measuring shoulders and waistlines but not reliable for repeated job site work.The challenge nobody had fully solved yet: how do you build something flexible enough to coil up for portability, accurate enough to trust, and durable enough for real work?James Chesterman and Spring Steel [09:05]Enter James Chesterman, born in England in the 1790s. He started out making powder flasks in London, which led him deep into the world of small spring-loaded mechanisms. He became fascinated with springs, flex, tension, and controlled energy. He later moved to Sheffield, one of Britain's great steel centers, where he became especially skilled with flat wire and spring steel.Spring steel is one of those materials that does remarkable things quietly. You bend it and it wants to come back. You coil it and it stores energy. You release it and it moves. That basic behavior shows up in clocks, doorbells, umbrellas, window blinds, and eventually in measuring tapes.One of Chesterman's applications for spring steel was crinoline frames, the steel-hooped undergarments that gave Victorian women that famous bell-shaped silhouette. Before spring steel frames, achieving that shape meant layers and layers of heavy petticoats. Chesterman's spring steel cage was lightweight, bendable when the wearer sat or moved, and then it would spring back into shape. Fashion application, yes, but also real engineering.The Crinoline Myth and What Actually Happened [11:50]There's a popular story that says Chesterman invented the tape measure because the crinoline craze died out and he was left with warehouses full of flat spring steel wire and needed something to do with it. It's a neat story. Dan admits he started researching this segment specifically because of that story.The problem is the timing doesn't hold up. The steel-frame crinoline became a major fashion item in the 1850s, but records show Chesterman was already working on steel measuring tapes as early as 1829. So the better version of the story is this: Chesterman was deep into spring steel and flat wire well before crinolines became fashionable, and those same skills turned out to be valuable during the crinoline boom. When fashions changed and that market faded, the same flat steel technology was redirected back into tools -- especially longer steel tapes for surveyors and engineers. His steel measuring chain improved on Gunter's design by using flat spring steel tape instead of links, jointed in 20-foot sections, markable with measurements, and rollable into a compact leather case.It was more portable than anything before it. But it still wasn't the modern tape measure.The Tape Measure Becomes What We Know [14:08]The next big leap came in America in 1864 when William Bangs Jr. patented a spring-return tape measure. Pull the tape out, take your measurement, let go, and the spring winds it back into the case. Useful -- and almost certainly the cause of more than a few pinched fingers.A few years after that, Alvin Fellows improved on the idea by adding a spring click that could hold the tape in place. Now it would lock in and stay instead of immediately retracting.Then in 1922, Hiram Ferrand solved one of the last big problems. A flat strip of steel will bend under its own weight the moment you extend it into the air. Ferrand changed the shape of the blade by curving it across its width -- concave on one side, convex on the other. That shallow curve gave the tape stiffness and let it extend several feet without collapsing.Stanley Company took all of these ideas and put them together into what we think of as the modern tape measure. They moved to a flatter, more squared-off case (which made inside measurements much easier), added the floating hook on the end (which slides slightly to compensate for its own thickness -- if your hook looks a little loose, that's intentional, not a defect), and stamped the case length right on the tool so you can push the back of the case against a surface and add that number to your tape reading without bending it into corners.In 1956, Stanley combined the curved blade with a retracting spring, which they describe as the point the first modern coilable and retractable tape measure was born. In 1963 they introduced the PowerLock -- molded case, thumb lock, yellow blade, sliding hook, one-handed convenience -- and when that patent expired, the PowerLock became one of the most copied tape measure designs in history. The one in your junk drawer is almost certainly descended from it.Segment 3: Six Budgeting Tips to Keep Your Renovation on Track [18:43]Home projects have a way of getting away from people. The obvious costs are easy enough to plan for. It's the stuff around the edges -- broken things, things you had to rebuy, delivery fees, disposal, unexpected problems behind the drywall -- that can quietly blow a budget wide open. Dan runs through six tips for thinking about money before the project starts so you're not scrambling once it's underway.Tip 1: Budget for What You Actually Want [20:45]Most people get this backwards. They pick a number first -- "we want to spend $20,000 on the kitchen" -- and then try to force the project into it. Once the work starts, they realize the kitchen they actually want costs $27,000, and now they're stuck making compromises under pressure.Flip it around. Start by being honest about what you actually want: the scope, the materials, the finish level you're expecting. Price that out as realistically as you can. Then work with the number you get. If it's too high, you can still make cuts, but you do it intentionally before the project starts...

"There are things in this world that are not the way they are supposed to be, and they are not how God would want them to be, and genuine faith in God, according to James, compels those who have such genuine faith to do something about the brokenness that is in the world... "Now, God can make crushed gravel into orange chicken if he wants to. He can turn grass clippings into clothing if he wants to. But his preference, his plan, is to meet needs through faith-filled people who act on their faith. See, faith that offers little more than sanctified slogans, faith that sits quietly and benignly in our heads, faith that does not inspire the hands and feet to do something in response, is what James calls, "dead faith.""

It was late Friday afternoon going into a holiday weekend, just when everyone should unplug from being online and go about their merry way. And they tried to slip one by us at the PGA of America with a letter to members that Don Rea had been suspended for the remainder of his term. So PJ, Joseph, and Brendan gather for some degenerate hours when they had zero expectation to be online on Friday for a happy hour chat. The Removal of Rea and at the absolute castration of Craig Ranch, where $25 million was spent in part to challenge the pros but scoring is as low as ever with Si Woo Kim almost breaking 60 and Jordan Spieth piling up birdies. Is Lanny Wadkins going to pop off at a soft PGA Tour setup? Will it become a circular firing squad? Would it have been better to light the money on fire? The Boys and Brendan gather to go through these two massive subjects on a Friday evening bonus episode thanks to the breaking news.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Does your garbage disposal give you a thrill? Maybe you take it for granted. But you know who did not? The folks writing ad copy to sell our grandparents their new build mid-century homes. That's just one weird, wonderful detail that came up in my kitchen conversation with Atom Stevens. Atom is a Mid Mod Remodel regular and real estate agent who specializes in mid-century and modern homes in the Denver area. Atom works with lots of time capsule loving clients. I've talked a lot about the time capsule kitchen, the original mid-century kitchen on the podcast, but I think Atom has a particularly interesting perspective on this as a lover of historical specificity and someone who works with a lot of clients who share that love. So, the big question is does that love always extend to an original kitchen?In Today's Episode You'll Hear:Why even folks who love original mid-century homes often want an updated kitchen. What defined the Cliff May Kitchen - hint, it's walls. When open plan kitchens became the rule, rather than the exception.

This week we'll find out why it's all kicked off at the famous Cannes film festival. In one corner of the ring we have hundreds of French film stars, directors and industry staff and in the other corner we have the country's most controversial media tycoon - who we'll explain has his fingers on pretty much everything in France it seems.We'll also hear what property owners in France need to avoid to prevent the renovation dreams turning into a nightmare, why hundreds of Brits have been refused entry into France in recent months, and why French baguettes, cereals and many other everyday food items are at the centre of a public health crisis.We'll also bring you some brilliant French words you just can't quite translate, but are really useful for everyday life in France.Host Ben McPartland will be joined by The Local France's Emma Pearson, Emma Albright and politics expert John Lichfield. And we'll also have a special guest this week Rosie Ellis, who joins us from Brittany. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Who needs a major championship when you have The CJ CUP Byron Nelson right around the corner?! Andy and Brendan are giddy for another installment of a longtime favorite event of this podcast, this time with a new twist! That's right, the Lanny Wadkins-led renovation at TPC Craig T. Nelson Ranch is ready for its much-anticipated PGA Tour debut. Andy and Brendan read through multiple articles from Dallas-area news publications detailing the behind-the-scenes work that went into this $25 million project. Did TPC Craig Ranch really need to spend all that money? It seems like that's up for debate, providing plenty of content for this Wednesday episode to chew on. Andy brings back 5 Guys to Monitor This Week (For Various Reasons) and highlights both Scottie Scheffler and a local PGA professional to tie a bow on last week's major championship. Elsewhere on the Schedule for the Week, the Champions Tour is off to Morocco. A piece of social media content has sent PJ deep down a rabbit hole with Brendan calling this PJ's "best work yet." Andy brings up "The Bumblebee" yet again as part of a look at this week's DP World Tour stop before a look at the first set of U.S. Open Final Qualifying results. Podcast favorite Matt Jordan will look to break par at Shinnecock after getting through at Walton Heath, and Caleb Surratt did Caleb Surratt things to get through in a playoff at the Dallas site. This episode also contains two different Sports Minutes, one previewing the Eastern Conference Finals between the Knicks and Cavaliers, and one focusing on the QB competition brewing in Cleveland. We will return on Friday to (hopefully) discuss the first round at Lanny's Place!

What does bowling have to do with spiritual life?In this teaching on Psalm 19, John Ortberg explores anxiety, surrender, creation, grace, and the deep human longing for soul rest.Using a surprisingly powerful bowling illustration, John reflects on how most people continue trying to control outcomes long after the “ball” has already left their hands. Psalm 19 offers another way: let go, trust God, delight in creation, and allow your soul to rest.This episode explores:- Why modern people struggle with rest- The connection between anxiety and control- Creation as medicine for the soul- Why the law of God is actually a gift- Soul fragmentation and divided living- How love restores wholenessFeaturing reflections on:- Dallas Willard- Theodore Roosevelt- Martin Luther- Psalm 19Scriptures:-Psalm 19-Matthew 22:37–39-James 2:8#Psalm19 #JohnOrtberg #Prayer #DallasWillard #SoulRest #Anxiety #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Psalms
Das «Bar-Tabac» ist eine französische Institution - Bar und Tabakladen in einem. Wenn diese Treffpunkte überleben sollen, müssen sie sich weiterentwickeln, sagen die Behörden und investieren in Transformation. Doch liegt die eigentliche Bedeutung nicht gerade darin, dass sie so bleiben «wie früher»? In manchen «Bar-Tabacs» hängt noch der abgestandene Rauch der Vergangenheit, als die Gäste zum wässrigen Café am Tresen selbstverständlich Zigaretten rauchten – und sie einfach auf den Boden warfen, bevor sie die nächsten anzündeten. «Bar-Tabacs» sind legendär, sie dienten als Filmkulisse, wurden besungen in Chansons - nicht wirklich gemütlich, aber entscheidend als sozialer Treffpunkt, der keine Reservierung verlangt und keine Kleiderordnung kennt. Doch die Französinnen und Franzosen rauchen weniger, das Sozialleben in den Dörfern verändert sich, tausende «Bar-Tabacs» sind verschwunden. Sind diese Lokale noch zu retten? Yann Collet, der Patron im «Café du Centre» in Lothringen versucht es mit Diversifizierung. Bei ihm gibt's neben Bier und Zigaretten nun auch Schweinsbäckchen mit Pommes und Päckliservice. Chunzi Ye, Patronne im «Étincelle» in Paris, setzte auf sanfte Renovation – sie hoffte, der Funke springe so auf die junge Generation über. Und tatsächlich, das «Étincelle» ist bis spätabends voll. «Die Jungen suchen Authentizität», sagt Joao, ein Stammgast. Im «Bar-Tabac» fänden sie sie.
What's a mid mod remodeler with a small kitchen to do? If you're living in a home built in the early part of the era—or even a more "generous" late-60s ranch—you've likely realized that mid-century kitchens were designed for a different way of living. But you don't always have to knock down walls or build a massive addition to find relief.In Today's Episode You'll Hear:How to organize a small kitchen.When to go low…and high.Where to find extra space when adding on is a no-go.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including how a Eileen Wang, a California mayor, was forced to resign after being exposed of secretly working for the Chinese Communist Party and is reigniting concerns about Chinese influence inside American institutions; escalating clashes outside a Brooklyn synagogue as anti-Israel and pro-Israel protestors confront each other amid rising tensions in New York City; and backlash after President Trump launched renovations to the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool ahead of America's 250th birthday celebration, and much more.
