We love having you here. Brent is with Client's First Group and Keller Williams. He's a realtor in Who Falls, and we talked last week about home maintenance checklist we kind of started going through and last week we talked about the roof, we
talked about the gutters. Let's work our way down to the siding, because again, this is all part of that outside envelope we were talking about. But these are important things because if there's something wrong here, there could be other problems too, right, correct, I mean if it starts on the outside, it's gonna work its way inside, whether that's rain, snow, rodents. Yeah, it's very important that you protect the exterior of your home,
and with the siding. Part of that might even just being making sure that it's painted, because if you've got paint that's peeled away and now there's little cracks and there's room for moisture and things to get in. So it could literally be as simple as a gallon of maybe more than a gallon if it's a whole house, but a couple of gallons of paint correct, and
different types of sighting where differently. So the house that I grew up in had what was called hardboard, and it's sort of a paper type product, and so if you don't keep it painted, it starts to delaminate and come apart, and then it looks hideous. And it's also then allowing rodents or some type of credits to enter your home. So taking care of the siding is a really big deal, not just for beauty, and there are so many ways to do that, if it's painting it or replacing the siding with
a different product, but making sure that that looks nice. Because in addition to providing that envelope that we were talking about, that keeps your home safe but also makes a huge difference on curb appeal, huge difference. Correct. You know, at some point every home is going to get sold, whether you do it while you're alive or your errors sell it. Curb appeal that's a first impression item, just like when you a person on the street,
and it has a huge impact on value. Absolutely. One of the other things on the outside is the trees. And when we were looking at homes with you, it's been can you believe it's been over a year ago. Now that's less. It seems like just the other day. But we we bought our home last July, and when we were out looking at homes, I was amazed at there were some that you'd you'd go up to the house and you're going, man, these trees are like rubbing the house. And
there's you know, others that were all maintained and beautiful. But we were looking for a project, so so a lot of the ones we were dragging bread too. He had to be thinking, what the world is wrong with you too? But I just kept in mind who I was working with. It like, Okay, these two are insane, but when it's all said and done, it's going to be nice. So but when it comes to trees, there's some things to probably look at when you're maintaining and making sure
that they're all taken care of correct. You know, what starts out as a shrub can become something that is harmful to the entire house, not at the sighting. So if the roots keep expanding and keep shooting up, you might be damaging your foundation. And if those brush shrubs are not trimmed, they're rubbing on your sighting and if they get tall enough, they're going to start pushing on the gutter and damaging your shingles. And a tree if it
overgrows, those branches swing across your shingles and take the graining off. And not to mention that at some point a windstorm may take a branch down and now you have more damage. So pruning trees and shrubs is really important. And trees are so beautiful. Unless they're not maintained, then all of a
sudden they can become a huge, huge problem. They provide shade, they provide you a little bit of wind block, but again, if they get to a point where they're too big for that space, now instead of all the beautiful beauty and wonderful things to add, now they're a big subtraction. And when people are looking at buying a home and they're going, I'm going to spend how much just to get rid of all these trees, that conversation has been held more times than I can imagine. And if it's a healthy
tree and it's been trimmed and maintained, it doesn't come up. But when it's allowed to overgrow and the branches are really hanging down, yeah, I can't tell you how many times people have walked away from a house and said, I don't want to pay to have that pruned. Absolutely Well, we're
gonna head indoors next week. We're gonna chat more about that. If somebody listening would like to chat with you, whether it's about this checklist and seeing what they need to do to make sure their properties maintained properly, or if they're going, hey, Brent, I'm the I'm in the market to buy a home or sell a home.

Time now for this day in Sioux Falls History, brought to you by the Sioux Falls Fund
Page and Sunny ninety three point three. It was on this date, July thirty first, nineteen forty three, a wooden replica of the Statue of Liberty was placed in mckannon Park, just south of the Sunken Gardens. It would be unveiled and dedicated the very next day. It was stated by the owner, longtime Sue Falls citizen Charles Sells, that the wooden statue was a model handcrafted by Frederick August BARTHOLDI, the man who made the real Lady Liberty in
New York Harbor. Seeing a need to inspire the people of the city to excellence in the midst of World War Two, the Sioux Falls Garden Club purchased the statue from Cells and also paid to have the stone platform created. They were eager to give Soue Falls a reminder of hope and Freedom and brighter days ahead. The Sioux Falls Parks Department were forced to remove the statue sometime during
the nineteen sixties due to continued vandalism. The beautiful stone pedestal remained empty for nearly forty years before a bronze replica was sculpted and put in place in two thousand and two, bringing Little Lady Liberty back home to McKennon Park.

Equity markets gained over one percent Friday to close at a new one year high. The move is inspired by software than expected PC price data that suggests the FOEMC is near the end of its tightening cycle. The caution for investors is that inflation remains hot at four point one percent core and the oil price is
rising. Oil price is underpin inflation. With WTI set to move to a multi month high, inflation will accelerate again. This week will be another trying one for investors. A host of earnings reports are due out this week on top of the monthly labor data. The NFP report is expected to show another
solid increase in job creation and rising wages. The risk is twofold. A hot figure will play into the idea that the FOEMC is not through raising interest rates, while a cool one may a shadow the recession that has loomed for the last year.
