Architecture through the eyes of a Photographer
Larry Rhodes and Home Remodeling Hell podcast host Mike Smith talks about architecture through a photographer's eyes. The two discuss how architecture and photography work together, as well as Rhodes' experience as a professional photographer.  Larry Rhodes' career as a photographer began by coincidence 40 years ago. He had no notion what he wanted to do with his life after college until he was inspired by a cross-country family trip and a borrowed 1960s Pentax camera. Rhodes began his profession as a photographer in the early days of print film. He was quickly taken to the technical aspects and artistry of photography, which ignited his desire to become a professional photographer. Larry has worked with every style of photography over the previous four decades, from print film to digital. Our special guest explains that Architecture has allowed Larry to express himself creatively through photography while providing a valuable service. "I was attracted to architectural photography because it's the closest commercial that I have been able to find, that gives me a lot of creative latitudes, that allows me to create little works of art and get paid for it at the same time."

Living at Your Home During Quarantine
You may find it difficult to decide whether you should remodel your home. In many cases, families have been forced into quarantine, and they are wondering if getting some more room would be beneficial for them. Generally, yes, but only in certain cases, since you should always weigh the pros and cons before making any big decisions! In this episode, Mike explains what it's like to live in California. In a 1950'a style ranch house, four adults (including their grown children) can be a lot of people. It becomes obvious that more room is needed when all the adults are cooking in the same space, such as the kitchen. "So my wife immediately starts looking at 'what can we do to our home to make it better?'" People often begin to consider how they can maximize their home's space during times like these, whether they are in quarantine or not. There are ways to create the impression of more space, even with tight restrictions. As many people contemplate remodeling and expanding their homes, Mike shares a few common scenarios. Open-space concepts can be achieved by removing walls in older traditional-style homes. A bit of budgeting is also needed in these situations, which will be covered in future episodes.

Interview with a Contractor: Eric Schaefer of Schaefer  Construction
The podcast begins with Eric discussing how his company started and that he has been building for the San Luis area since his father was. Eric, who has completed custom homes, explains that his company is a more personalized choice for people looking for new houses because they offer more than what ready-built homes do. Homebuyers want to be involved in the process and have all of their needs met. Eric's strategy includes an engaging building experience that includes customers every step of the way, while also providing value throughout this entire journey. Eric explains that his company, Schaefer Construction, was able to meet inspectors and construction deadlines even during the pandemic. Eric mentions a story of how some people have found ways to overcome the setbacks caused by Covid-19, in which they hired private inspection service. In this episode, Eric Schaefer uses his experience of working with contractors, inspectors, and city officials to share insight on what is needed for a successful building process. These two custom home experts discuss the home construction industry in great detail. Eric sees that the future of the industry would be incorporating technology and other cutting-edge, exciting innovations. It is an episode you do not want to miss!
