Stained Glass
Whether it’s those three little square windows over your master bed or a particular spot that gets too much sun during part of the day, if your home has any of those “weirdo windows” and you’re not sure what to do with them, we may have the perfect solution: stained glass.
Turn full sun exposure into an asset with a gorgeous custom creation from our good friend, a local glass artist… or re-purpose an antique window from one of the local shops.
Check out some beautiful examples in this week’s episode.

a fellow neighbor and good friend pete
churchill who makes
beautiful stained glass gorgeous from
scratch
yeah this is not a kit yeah this is his
own design
um his wife janice selects all the
beautiful pieces of color
glass it is like a work of art yeah
and so a lot of times they will fill
those little squares with a piece of
stained glass
so instead of buying a great option a
shade or something excuse me having
something custom made
yeah i have custom made yeah uh shutters
yes and those little square wings get
custom-made stained glass
and it’s like a piece of art you can put
it in they’re removable if you ever
should
if you ever move yeah uh you can put it
in another piece of glass and
it’s easily removable yeah so you could
take it with you
buy another house with three squares
exactly so we have one over we have a
transom
over our front door that got a a lot of
direct sun a lot of heat
so he designed one we did it all with
butterflies and irises
beautiful beautiful so when you’re
looking at a house with kind of an
odd window particularly one with like a
particular
time of day or maybe all day it has
direct
sun oh that window’s got so much sun and
you turn the the liability into an asset
correct and think about a piece of
stained glass yeah instead of an ugly
old shade or because then when the sun
hits it it just gets
so bright and then then that the colors
come through
sometimes you get a pattern on the wall
it’s beautiful so
something we we kind of did in our own
home if you have a transom
if you have the three little square
windows some people have them in their
bathroom some people have in that master
bedroom
or just a window that you need a
showpiece a centerpiece

Grinder Pumps
If your house goes over a cliff, you’ll probably need a grinder pump. A grinder pump takes what you don’t want and moves it up to a higher level, so you can get rid of it more easily.
Confused? Don’t be… For all the dirty details, check out this week’s episode.
Video Transcript well you waited for me such such uh discipline i’m trying to i’m trying to be in the moment in the moment i’m trying to trying to let me have time to sit down i know i’m working on it i’m working on it good afternoon to all of our pickle picks pickle stirrers peepsters this is diana randall bro and uh we are here today to do another little community service uh kind of picking up on where we all left off last time yeah we wanted to talk to you about grinder pumps this is something totally new to us when we moved here uh we are from louisiana and texas they come with terrain and we’re from areas of the country that are very flat super flat so this was something totally new to us uh so back home for especially in louisiana we’re below sea level so we don’t have we don’t have a need for such things that we’re about to talk about what we’re going to talk to you about and educate you about is something called grinder problems you will find them throughout prescott and all kinds of homes particularly in homes built out on stem walls yeah so we have a video on stemwall construction in the wine down so you can search for that on the website but very briefly a stemwall home is a type of construction specifically for homes that kind of hang over a cliff so the upstairs is the where the where you live and then you have space underneath which is where the where the cliff is the stem wall is the support structure that kind of keeps the cantilevered part of the home up in the air so it will be built out and a lot of them are closed and finished in yeah it’s not a basement per se because you’ll have bathrooms embedded yeah it’s closed high ceilings and it’s completely finished out um but the main level that’s level to the street we’ll have city sewer lines connected to it or even septic i mean that’s where are you accepted yes where it is is on the top of the cliff right and so for those bathrooms that are below the cliff level that the street level that’s where the grinder pump that’s where a grinder pump comes in had never heard of it don’t know what it means i’ll tell you what it means it is a very important uh piece of machinery whatever pump in your home on the bottom level so when your bathroom’s downstairs we’ll go to the grinder pump the grinder pump pretty much grinds it up grinds it up sucks it up and then pumps it up to the street pumps it up to the street level uh sewage so it connects into the city so of course the city can’t dig all these pipes below to hook up downstairs so that’s where the grinder pump comes into play the grinder pump does that job um kind of like a bank teller yeah you know when you put your taylor kind of thing they tell you hit that button yeah this is a different kind of deposit yeah very different kind of deposit still a paperwork involved yeah yeah pretty much but that’s what the grinder problem does it gets it all together shoots it up with a vacuum and connects to the city sewer upstairs so if you if you’ve ever seen one you go downstairs you open up a closet somewhere where they’ll have a grinder but it’s like oh my god i don’t understand what is this that’s what it is imposing yes you have heights and everything right you usually you you will have it maintained once a year have somebody come check it out because believe me when something happens and it doesn’t work you know yeah you’ve got a load of trouble yeah you know trouble and it’s they’re expensive to repair so you want to try to maintain them always maintain them but they they will last forever a long long time yeah and occasionally you have to replace the float in there or whatever [Music] no pun intended yeah yeah but um there you go i’ll move this one along but um she’s getting bad anyway grinder pumps are important you will find them in many many homes all throughout prescott so terrain something when you are moving here and you see it don’t be like i have no idea what this is now you know yeah so but if you if you build a home in an area that’s flat then you probably won’t have one right and then the other thing is if you get a home warranty make sure your home warranty covers the grinder pump yes now it doesn’t always cover replacement yeah or yeah it covers some repairs yeah so just but a lot of them the the basic one it’s not included at all yeah that’s because the warranties are offered all over the country areas where they don’t exactly exactly so if you want yours covered make sure you read the fine print make sure you read the fine print you have to upgrade a little bit make sure it’s covered so more than you ever wanted to know about grinder pumps so that’s what we’re here for to teach you education behind the scenes dirty jobs equipment that go unglorified right and it’s the pickle lady it is behind the scenes yeah behind behind the scenes okay i’m sure that grinder parts get their due that’s right so that’s a little uh education there we just had some people we took out and they were asking us about grinder problems and we might you know what this is something different growing problems we need to give the info on that if you need more info yes 411.com that’s where all of our free information begins if you are a buyer seller somewhere in between information on grinder pumps toilets tushies uh remodeling restaurants you name it we are it is truly a wealth we cover it all from a plethora to z free information free information very useful stuff yeah it’s all things you should know yeah okay it’s been a pleasure seeing you today and i hope you take something away from this don’t flush it away all right friends until next time bye

Video Transcript hello hello hello peeps
hello peeps our fellow pickle peepsters
dianne and i like peeps too diane and
randall bro
realtors in prescott arizona
something kind of crazy but funny we
want to talk about
um because well it’s something you gotta
do something new and something great
something new on the horizon everyone
has the courage to
jump in
something that really helps a little bit
on your resell of your house
is tall toilets tall toilets
and tall counters in your bathroom
that’s big people want tall counters
they don’t want those
low ones they’ve got to bend over while
you’re brushing your teeth yeah
love tall counters and love tall
toilets tall toilets yeah well i should
say
we do have clients that are
you know high challenged a little on the
short side
yeah they’re not a big fan but i will
tell you i’m not a big fan but
the world’s going against you my friends
my short friends look at your step stool
yeah we’ve got to get you a step stool
because the tall toilets more and more
but if you’re thinking about i’m gonna
upgrade my bathroom or whatever
what we’re hearing time and time and
time again is when we go look at new
construction when we go look at houses
oh they have a tall toilet i’m so
excited they have a tall toilet
this is how you know you’re actively in
middle age
also to all of our friends out there
yeah when you get
about the honey you’re excited about the
height of your toilet
and we’re we’re in that group yeah we
actually are in
we decided you know what let’s let’s
jump on this bandwagon
yeah let’s get a tall toilet yeah so we
did
we are ecstatic with our tall toilets
where it’s the same just higher
it just it just it’s much easier to get
up and down at night but you know when
your back is out your hips are out you
don’t feel good you’re
you know nobody hates that sudden and
abrupt
fall when you think you think you’re
going to land a little higher up and you
go boom
and then sometimes you get you know as
my dad used to call it a little splash
it’s called
the kiss of death guess death don’t want
the kiss of death
but tall toilets are very helpful a good
uh
resale value people love it i’m telling
you i can’t believe it i’ve actually had
people
i’m i want to just sit on this body and
just see if it’s uh
the right height configuration when we
go look at houses
i think it takes the pressure off of uh
men to
constantly put the toilet seat down too
because if we forget and the lady of the
home goes to use the toilet they don’t
fall into the bowl because well it’s a
tall toilet
the other thing people love people love
love love they’re talking about it
is tushies tushy.com
sushi.com tushy.com if you’re watching
this
you’ve feel free we’re giving you a free
shout out yeah like
it’s a bidet attachment easy to attach
to your tall
toilet yeah uh it’s the rage
all of our clients again are like oh i
like that bidet feature
i like that well the days were starting
all right we should you know
okay so you probably have to get in
first of all
a bidet like i used to think that a
bidet was essentially for women
no it’s for all parties not because it’s
the you know it’s the other side of
things
it’s for all areas it’s our all areas
but
one area in particular and it reduced
she always say it reduces the amount of
toilet paper that yeah
i assume so you kind of get the idea so
bidets were kind of starting to get
popular
they’re very popular in europe all over
europe all over korea
japan yeah all a lot of the asian
countries
um essentially think that we are the
dirtiest country
on earth we clean without water
so anyway yeah it’s a fun thing to jump
on that bandwagon
attach it to your tall toilet yeah
because the bidet like you get a real
bidet
that’s like having another toilet and so
you need and that can be expensive
yeah a little bit more expensive than
just buying the attachments yeah because
you need a place to put it
you know so you’re gonna have a toilet
end of the day and you need bigger
bathrooms
to take up more space so if you’re if
you are you know uh
redoing your bathroom yeah you know all
these things help
people love it when they go in your
house they’re looking for tall toilets

i did see
in lowe’s uh when uh we were looking at
toilets

as you approach well not really flea it
is survival mode
well you’re flying that way anytime she
attacks yeah correct correct
anyway we are here today to talk about
something really cool about prescott
yes uh petroglyphs that’s glyphs
petroglyphs uh we used to have at one
point
a very large indian population yeah way
back in the day
uh especially in different sections of
prescott
you will find groupings of petroglyphs
what are petroglyphs mr brown uh
well the the petra means rock
and glyphs is writing so it’s uh stone
writing
i knew he was writing on stone
oh very old yeah so yeah so not like a
new one like i know
the rage right now is for people to
paint their own rocks not quite the same
um a petroglyph is truly an authentic
uh rocks with with paintings on them
from
thousands of years ago some of them yeah
and it would be
a lot of times they would place them
with good indicators like you know
here’s a deer that you know deer running
through there yeah
yeah uh it was a way of marking along
the paths
yeah well obviously to some extent we
don’t really know what some of them mean
but uh some of the symbols uh
repeat again and again have certain
themes
uh there’s a spiraling out circle
or square uh which is what does that
mean
um they think it has something to do
with uh like a religious uh
kind of like go forth and multiply oh uh
in the bible so maybe like a positive
yeah
like the idea is you are here right now
and
god wants you to you know to expand
in all directions yeah is that your
interpretation no no no
i didn’t make it up i mean of course i
didn’t talk to send anyone who wrote one
because they’ve all been dead for
hundreds of years but but
that’s what they that’s why i think that
that particular and it gets a positive
message
positive methods basically go forth and
multiply
so you will find a lot of these
groupings of uh petroglyphs uh
sprinkled throughout yeah prescott out
in talking rock there’s a whole
section you can hike way out there and
find
their collection of petroglyphs which is
why talking rock got their name
it’s uh all of these rocks convey a
message
yeah so talky rock discovered it and
thought hmm there we go where can we go
with this
talking rock yeah uh prescott lakes also
has
uh several sections lots of sections um
even when you’re walking along the path
there’s a grouping they’ll be just right
there
i mean right yeah we’ve had a couple of
individual privately owned homes that
actually have petroglyphs
in their yard yeah they have big rocks

recreations
[Music]
there’s one area on top of
mesa in prescott lakes called
solstice park or heritage park
solstice mesa but it’s called solstice
because the petroglyphs in that
particular area

winter solstice it’s pretty
sophisticated and so their street by it
is called solstice
that’s why i got the name the theme of
seoul but you can hike up there
right in the middle of prescott lakes
and see this uh
outcropping and how they’ve lined it up
pretty sophisticated for that time
to uh drive up with the yeah so that
they figured yeah that was the
same thing like stonehenge certain

Obstructing the Buyer
When you’re selling something, it’s a good idea to make it as easy as possible for buyers to buy – especially for big-ticket items like real estate. You’d be astonished how often sellers’ agents violate this basic, commonsense rule, creating outrageous roadblocks for potential buyers for your home.
Here are some easy tips to keep your agent from doing this to you.
Video Transcript hello hello hello peeps
this is all of our little fellow pickle
peeps out there um we hope that you are
having an amazing day

realtors in
prescott arizona and so something we
talking about listings we want to talk
about
um this is kind of out there for our
people who are considering selling
and are starting to think about well i
think i might want to go on the market
something to think about that we’re
running across right now in this crazy
intense on fire uh
market is uh because i handle a lot of
buyers
this is something to keep in mind when
you’re getting ready to list
try to make your home make the showings
as easy as possible
um encourage your agent we always do
this go
on you know make sure your agent is
registered on showing time
so they can easily make appointments
yeah it’s easy
um don’t do crazy times don’t you know
uh or three hours in advance right don’t
do three hours in advance
invite the bullet here’s the thing yes
it is difficult to bring
people in to see homes into prescott yes
most of the buyers are coming from out
of town people like us have to reach out
find them convince them to come and
visit this town right
and before we even have a chance to sell
your home
so by the time we are scheduling a
showing of your home
we’ve already like done a lot of heavy
lifting for you right
so the last thing you want to do is to
make it hard for people like us to bring
you
our buyers because you can undermine
you know if you’re trying to get a uh
you know a good price for your home
you’re trying
what you need is a lot of showings and
the easiest way to get a lot of showings
is to make showings easy correct just
bite the bullet because what’s gonna
happen is the market’s moving so fast
just accept i’m gonna have two maybe
three days of hell
yeah of constant showings but for
instance i’ve had several clients come
in ready to go and i’m like oh this is a
great listing let’s go look at it and
they’re like
we won’t start any showings until i’ll
just make up a date
until thursday well it’s monday and then
you don’t find that out until you call
right so you go to call and it’s like i
want to start on a certain day that’s
fine put it in mls put it well in
advance so everyone knows
right don’t wait until someone’s calling
you with the buyer to schedule the
showing
oh we’re not going to show until
thursday we decided we’re going to wait
until thursday and then we’re going to
have it
or you know some of the uh some of the
some of them are like it’s uh
uh we’re gonna have one day of showing
and we are only gonna have appointments
between
ten and two okay well my people are
going to be here that day
they’re gonna be the next day and
there’s no way to get back in
so as you as a potential seller
think about making your home easily
accessible
easy for the buyer’s agent to make an
appointment for you
just be welcoming let it go fast this
market’s so
fast moving yeah your house is going to
sell in one or two years
it will and but if you make the showings
difficult you get
fewer showings you’re gonna have fewer
options you’re gonna end up with less
results

figure out how to do showing time
because it’s going to make a difference
in selling
your own it absolutely is so you know

green screen yeah well you can’t see the
green screen you won’t see that but
i’ll show them the green screen i can
show you the green screen
it’s hard to find something not i know i
don’t know it’s very hard i don’t want
to be in black
that’s depressing that’s depressing i
like to be colorful
particularly in springtime particularly
in the springtime
which we want to talk about yeah uh
there is nothing like springtime in
prescott yes
it is
well the first thing is there is a
spring where
from there is no spring current goes
directly from winter
into the thick of of summer and it’s you
know 90 degrees the next day
right you never see spring again that’s
right uh spring’s not like that here
not here in fact you will have these you
know it kind of lulls you into this
false sense of oh the sun is out and i’m
gonna get my shorts
i’m gonna get my shorts out and then our
very white legs come out which is
highly alarming yeah that’s kind of
scary and you and you’re starting to
kind of let your guard down but
spring here kind of will zap you will
have a couple more days of winter
in the middle of nowhere in the middle
of nowhere um and then you’re like oops
gotta go get my sweater again
yeah they said don’t plant until the
middle of may yeah we never plant
anything until after mother’s day
no baby plants because every now and
then we get a little surprise
light light snowfall and you’re like
what is this yeah it’s just
it’s the reverse of of autumn right so
that’s right and autumn you have a
little bit some days where oh it’s a
little cooler it’s a little cooler and
then it’s warm again
it’s the same way here we were over at a
friend’s house last night
and a shout out to bob and karen and
happy birthday bob
happy birthday bob and uh we had a fire
pit you know
been sitting out on a fire pit and we’re
hearing down in phoenix you know it’s
almost touching the three digits and uh
texas and louisiana oh it’s in the 90s
already we have a fire pit going not
here we’re still
and it was not we had a little nip in
the air it was very nice
so not only was there a nip in the air
but we had some nips as well
and we took a little nap we took a few
naps we took a few naps around
the fire pit which was very nice but
what i really wanted to talk about was
how stunningly beautiful um
spring is here not only are is the
temperature
delightful but all of the trees all of a
sudden and it really seems like
overnight
it starts blooming and blossoming so um
the bradford pears are to die for
gorgeous red bud which is my
all-time favorite um red buds just don’t
grow that well in the south but here
they are
stunning vibrant vibrant i hope you got
some pictures oh absolutely i got
some pictures of the bradford pears
repairs red buds
pears are the ones with all the white
white blossoms
and uh i may have some i haven’t had a
chance to shoot them yet but uh you also
see
paint blossoms these are the uh red leaf
plums
that’s his favorite very favorite i mean
the pink blossoms are beautiful and then
once the blossoms are gone the
leaves themselves are like this leathery
kind of deep red purple
it’s gorgeous that’s something to know
here too a lot of people don’t know
um fruit trees are abundant here
and they grow very very well so a lot of
people with cherry trees
apricots plum lemons not so much
interesting the citrus don’t do so well
but all the others do amazingly well and
then you get to have
springs bountiful gift
well yeah harvest but you know their
gift in this
in spring all these blossoms start
coming in
and it’s just gorgeous and a lot of
people will trim their trees so it
actually looks like little snowballs
they don’t come snowballs here probably
snow cones
for all of you others not from louisiana
in louisiana we call them snowballs
every part of the country calls it
something different snow cone for use
for you people forget for use i know
