Now, what do you think? If this guy and this guy both put raised planting beds in their backyard, what do you think? This guy and this guy. How do you think they’re going to feel when their their, their backyards become a lake?

 

So we got these. We get these phone calls at least once a year. You screwed up the grading of my yard. You left me with a yard that floods you evil builder. You. It’s not our problem. It’s. Nothing is ever flat, guys. Nothing is ever flat. We had to explain to them, you know, they said, well, we’re supposed to have a flat backyard.

 

Nope. Nothing’s ever flat. So those those drainages are all over the place in the neighborhoods. And so, no neighborhood is flat. No home side is flat. Do you guys remember from your onboarding training, the little drawings that we made of the home and the water shedding away from the home in all four directions? It’s rare. So that’s what’s happening on every home site.

 

And because that’s happening on every home site, nothing is flat. And home builder consultant would never, ever, ever, ever, ever, promise them flat. Anything I would say we will do our best to make it the flattest we can, but it will not be flat.

 

We will try to make it the least steep we can, though. Now, let me ask you a question. Going back to that image that talks about. Do you guys remember in that image that I pulled up of that other website over here, when you have this scenario where you’ve dropped this and you’ve got extra courses of block or what we call a,

 

Extended stem wall on the foundation, you’ve got an extra tall stem wall on the foundation instead of the stem only being six inches high. It’s 2.5ft high. Guess what? The stem. The wall is made out of concrete. Concrete? Guess what’s expensive? Concrete. Concrete. And guess what? That wall goes all the way down that entire side of the home when you do this.

 

So we typically are not going to just do this for free. We may it depends. But I want to I promise we’re going to do it. That’s why we have concrete and rock disclaimers. Right. You want to go to up. So we do we call this what do we call this when we we notch this and bring the driveway down.

 

home builder consultant give you a term. Do you remember what that term was? Stepping down the foundation stepping. Whoops. Not stepping. Stepping.

 

The foundation.

 

Boom. That’s what you do. That is not inexpensive to do. So that was a really long answer to Ty’s question. I don’t know if Ty can still hear me or not, but there you go. Does that help?

 

You guys learn anything today? Yeah, yeah, real real quick. What’s the average price per difference? Like if you go up an extra foot, what’s the average. Is there a way to account for that. Different for every floor plan. Yeah I couldn’t even get of a minute. I would say here’s what I’ll tell you. The most expensive one I’ve seen was about $18,000 in a basement home.

 

No, that was on a slab in Oklahoma.

 

I feel like I want to sing Carrie Underwood song right now.

 

There’s a lot of rain in Oklahoma.

 

Okay, I will go there, but, there was a lot of slab in Oklahoma, Stan Wall in Oklahoma, but it was 18 grand on that one. That’s probably the worst case scenario home builder consultant has seen. Usually it’s a few thousand dollars, two, three, 4 or $5000.

 

Okay, there you go. Does help. And you all learn something today. I feel excited that you guys learned something today. Okay, well, I appreciate y’all. Y’all are some of the best looking humans on the Earth. It’s no wonder you’re in sales. Yes, sir. Looking good today with the glasses. I like the little color that’s in the sweater. That’s in the glasses thing.

 

I like the stache. Brady. Looks like you got a haircut recently. That’s really good. No, no, no, I didn’t I didn’t even wake up in the shower this morning. Aaron. Wow. We are basically part of this weekend. So I’ve been literally tearing up carpet and drywall for the last two days. I take back what I said, but you know what?

 

I really like is the bangs, look that Jordan has going on, I see. Yeah, we need to see this. See how many those are. Yours is just picture Jordan. But just with those things coming down the sideline, what do you call that? What do you call that thing you’re doing? Fringe. Fringe. Yeah. Is I like when the hood girls from early.

 

What’s when they lay their edges on their face. You see them? I don’t know, but that’s weird. When they do that, I’m always like, what are you doing? And home builder consultant, though, it’s just called eyebrows. Giant eyebrows. Eyebrows. Okay. Yeah. Ty, why don’t you get some eyebrows, bro? You need to get a little bit of the hair. See how Natalia did it.

 

That’s a cool look, I think. Give it a look. Good on you, Ty. Oh, I think we have these little tumor liner. I look like Eugene Levy. Probably with. Or at least Ty. If you could grow out the eyebrows and braid them and just hang out on the side, you know. What do you like to wear? I’m like a Jewish kid.

 

Yeah. All right, guys, I appreciate y’all have a great rest of your day. And if you need something hollow. Oh, what’s your thing? One other thing real quick. home builder consultant will not be here tomorrow. I’m going out that I have been, invited to speak at a builder expo, so I’m going to check it out tomorrow before I say yes to going to their next one.

 

So, I will be in Phoenix tomorrow, so I will not be on the sales huddle, but, home builder consultant will be on Thursday. Mastro’s steakhouse, go to Mastro’s steakhouse. Okay. That’s what we’ll do. That’s all you said. So. All right, so you guys so fun. All right. Back.
