New luxury appliances and plumbing at a fraction of the cost? We talk with ZLINE Kitchen and Bath 10 10 2020 Oct 10, 2020

Show notes

ZLINE might be a new brand for many people but they have been revolutionizing the kitchen and bath industry for a number of years now with a new approach where you can buy direct and cut the middleman out appliances and now plumbing.

We sit down with Galen Bradford and Mason Watkins and find out what makes them so different than really most other companies in the kitchen and bath marketplace.

From luxury pro style appliances to kitchen and bathroom luxury plumbing fixtures, they are completely shaking up the kitchen and bath industry model here in the US. We had some technical difficulties in the studio during the interview so we will be bringing them back in the future to dive back in on a few of the questions that didn't make the cut. You might catch a little bit of those audio problems for a few minutes in the middle of the show we tried to repair.

This is what I am going to be cooking on with my kitchen so lets talk with them about it. For more information head to https://www.zlinekitchen.com/

Does your kitchen need a fix? Plus we talk managing your kids internet usage with a parent of two! 10 10 2020 Oct 10, 2020

Show notes

October is Kitchen and Bath month and we wanted to talk about what you need to think about before you dive into that kitchen refresh project or what you should be considering before you bring in that designer and contractor.

A kitchen project can be the most stressful renovation on your relationships in your home so the effort made to plan this out is really key. We will lean on my nearly 30 years of kitchen and bath design work to discuss the secrets of pulling this major project off.

In the middle of this discussion we will talk with David Hardin, an Xfinity employee, a single father of two girls, and how he is using technology to manage how his two girls use the internet and how he can safely manage their online safety. If you are using XFINITY for your internet service you won't want to miss these tips.

All this and more on this weekends Around the House with Eric G.
