Dean discusses his trends and predictions for 2024, the housing market, affordability, supply and demand, design and the cost of materials for do-it-yourself and remodeling projects. He talks specifically about kitchens, how they are becoming more of a social gathering spot, which could make it hard for those using the kitchen to actually cook. Dean addresses the possibility of adding a 'keeping room' in your home, an area where people are adjacent to a kitchen versus in the kitchen directly. He also addresses the trend of more 'less visible tech' in homes. Dean addresses listener calls regarding the proper wood, prep and paint for a wooden patio cover to ensure longevity, and another regarding a roof remodel with existing gable vents and whether or not the roofer wanting to add low-profile vents is beyond their needs.
