1
00:00:06,855 --> 00:00:10,695
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Resonant Builder podcast with Peter Wolfcamp

2
00:00:10,895 --> 00:00:13,495
Speaker 1: from News Talks ed B fifth place.

3
00:00:13,815 --> 00:00:18,015
Speaker 2: That won't be enough, unfortunately for zoe Hobbs. Not in

4
00:00:18,055 --> 00:00:21,335
Speaker 2: the top two and two others faster than her in

5
00:00:21,375 --> 00:00:25,095
Speaker 2: this semi final. It was a great start from Zoey Hobbs.

6
00:00:25,575 --> 00:00:29,015
Speaker 2: We'll check the times, but by my eye she was fifth.

7
00:00:29,175 --> 00:00:34,335
Speaker 2: Zoey Hobbs, twenty shit Terry won it. Tia Clayton there

8
00:00:34,375 --> 00:00:38,295
Speaker 2: as well. I've got Hobbs and fifth. We'll wait for

9
00:00:38,375 --> 00:00:45,055
Speaker 2: official confirmation, but Tia Clayton and twenty shit Terry fastest.

10
00:00:49,255 --> 00:00:53,375
Speaker 2: We'll check Zoey Hobbs' time. She got away well and

11
00:00:53,495 --> 00:00:55,415
Speaker 2: lane three did Zoey Hobbs. She was up with the

12
00:00:55,495 --> 00:00:59,935
Speaker 2: leaders who were Clayton and Terry, and then through fifteen

13
00:00:59,935 --> 00:01:03,095
Speaker 2: meters just a grimace on her face. Darryl Natter from

14
00:01:03,135 --> 00:01:07,735
Speaker 2: Great Britain went past her and it may be sixth

15
00:01:07,775 --> 00:01:11,055
Speaker 2: even for Zoey Hobbs. Will check the time though, to

16
00:01:11,095 --> 00:01:13,055
Speaker 2: see if she's close to that mark of hers of

17
00:01:13,135 --> 00:01:18,135
Speaker 2: ten ninety six, a national record. Sixth place for Zoey

18
00:01:18,135 --> 00:01:22,375
Speaker 2: Hobbs in the semi final. Absolutely no disgrace there even

19
00:01:22,415 --> 00:01:32,615
Speaker 2: reaching the semi is quite something. Official confirmation of Zoey

20
00:01:32,615 --> 00:01:36,095
Speaker 2: Hobbs's time eleven one three, so quite away outside her PB.

21
00:01:36,335 --> 00:01:39,975
Speaker 2: She will not progress to the final unfortunately. Tea Clayton

22
00:01:40,055 --> 00:01:42,855
Speaker 2: ten eight nine. Daryl Nita from Great Britain got up

23
00:01:42,855 --> 00:01:47,015
Speaker 2: to second in ten ninety seven, so Twanisha Terry only

24
00:01:47,055 --> 00:01:53,415
Speaker 2: going through as one of the best next Alfred Richardson Clayton,

25
00:01:53,495 --> 00:01:55,975
Speaker 2: Nita Jefferson Tether you have it.

26
00:01:56,015 --> 00:01:58,895
Speaker 3: That was live from Paris this morning. So zoe Hobbes

27
00:01:59,015 --> 00:02:02,615
Speaker 3: a fantastic achievement to achieve a semi final in the

28
00:02:02,615 --> 00:02:06,175
Speaker 3: woman's one hundred meters and phenomenal pace, I must have.

29
00:02:06,535 --> 00:02:08,735
Speaker 3: And there's been discussion. We're not going to go down

30
00:02:08,735 --> 00:02:11,895
Speaker 3: a sports talk type thing, but I was part of

31
00:02:11,935 --> 00:02:15,015
Speaker 3: a fascinating discussion the other day where people were suggesting

32
00:02:15,055 --> 00:02:18,415
Speaker 3: that we don't for us as mere immortals. And you know,

33
00:02:18,495 --> 00:02:20,335
Speaker 3: if the last time you ran the hundred meters was

34
00:02:20,375 --> 00:02:22,895
Speaker 3: when you're in the school athletics program or something like that,

35
00:02:23,735 --> 00:02:25,615
Speaker 3: you know you should really sort of line up an

36
00:02:25,655 --> 00:02:27,935
Speaker 3: average sort of runner along with these people, or an

37
00:02:27,935 --> 00:02:30,495
Speaker 3: average swimmer or something. I was watching the ten thousand

38
00:02:30,495 --> 00:02:37,175
Speaker 3: meters men's final the other day extraordinary. We will bring

39
00:02:37,215 --> 00:02:39,495
Speaker 3: you up to date. Well, we will get a little

40
00:02:39,535 --> 00:02:46,095
Speaker 3: bit sidetracked by this, but that's absolutely fine. That's not

41
00:02:46,135 --> 00:02:54,495
Speaker 3: looking good. Tom Walsh seems to have injured himself during

42
00:02:54,535 --> 00:03:00,015
Speaker 3: the shot. We'll bring you more news on that. We

43
00:03:00,095 --> 00:03:02,015
Speaker 3: might have to go to the sports team get some updates. Right,

44
00:03:02,575 --> 00:03:05,255
Speaker 3: eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call

45
00:03:05,375 --> 00:03:07,975
Speaker 3: if you would like to to join in and discuss all.

46
00:03:08,215 --> 00:03:08,895
Speaker 4: Oh, that's right.

47
00:03:08,935 --> 00:03:11,335
Speaker 3: I was doing a task that was slightly unfamiliar to

48
00:03:11,375 --> 00:03:15,775
Speaker 3: me this week, along with the occasional observation from my

49
00:03:15,775 --> 00:03:19,855
Speaker 3: beloved as to do you know what you're doing, to

50
00:03:19,895 --> 00:03:22,535
Speaker 3: which I replied, yes, it's okay. I listened to that

51
00:03:22,575 --> 00:03:27,655
Speaker 3: guy on Sunday morning. So I was doing the taps

52
00:03:27,815 --> 00:03:31,575
Speaker 3: in the bathroom, right, which have been slowly dripping and

53
00:03:31,615 --> 00:03:34,015
Speaker 3: got harder and harder to turn on and turn off.

54
00:03:35,335 --> 00:03:38,015
Speaker 3: When we renovated our place, we put the bathroom in

55
00:03:38,135 --> 00:03:42,295
Speaker 3: probably twenty odd years ago. It all still works. It's

56
00:03:42,335 --> 00:03:44,095
Speaker 3: just that the tap was getting a little bit stiff

57
00:03:44,175 --> 00:03:47,175
Speaker 3: to turn on and off, and it was starting to drip.

58
00:03:47,335 --> 00:03:49,415
Speaker 3: That's what happens with taps, right, That's why they have

59
00:03:49,455 --> 00:03:52,015
Speaker 3: a replaceable washer in them. Turns out that the tap

60
00:03:52,135 --> 00:03:56,415
Speaker 3: was slightly more complicated than I was expecting. I've pulled

61
00:03:56,415 --> 00:03:58,855
Speaker 3: apart a number of them over the years, partly out

62
00:03:58,895 --> 00:04:02,695
Speaker 3: of curiosity. This one was unlike anything else that I'd seen,

63
00:04:02,735 --> 00:04:05,695
Speaker 3: and when I ended up on the workbench with several

64
00:04:05,775 --> 00:04:08,535
Speaker 3: parts of the tap, I did start to question my

65
00:04:08,575 --> 00:04:10,815
Speaker 3: ability to put it back together, and started to think

66
00:04:10,815 --> 00:04:12,655
Speaker 3: about whether or not I could call Jerry, who's a

67
00:04:12,655 --> 00:04:15,175
Speaker 3: plumber who lives around the corner, to sort this out.

68
00:04:15,455 --> 00:04:18,215
Speaker 3: The other thing that I did realize but pushed through

69
00:04:18,255 --> 00:04:21,855
Speaker 3: the reluctance, was it's never a wise idea to start

70
00:04:21,895 --> 00:04:26,935
Speaker 3: a job at four o'clock on a Friday afternoon. So

71
00:04:27,175 --> 00:04:29,055
Speaker 3: this was gnawing away in the back of my mind

72
00:04:29,095 --> 00:04:31,215
Speaker 3: as well. But anyway, we got there in the end,

73
00:04:32,535 --> 00:04:34,575
Speaker 3: and in fact, I was so excited by the overall

74
00:04:34,615 --> 00:04:38,135
Speaker 3: performance of the now newly refurbished, cleaned up in what

75
00:04:38,375 --> 00:04:44,335
Speaker 3: and greased tap with its complicated mechanism, that I'm quite

76
00:04:44,375 --> 00:04:47,975
Speaker 3: excited to do the pot tap on Monday. So that'll

77
00:04:48,015 --> 00:04:50,895
Speaker 3: be my task for tomorrow, rightio, Open line talkback on

78
00:04:51,055 --> 00:04:53,935
Speaker 3: all things building construction. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten

79
00:04:54,095 --> 00:04:56,615
Speaker 3: eighty is the number to call. We can talk about

80
00:04:56,815 --> 00:04:59,335
Speaker 3: Actually I had a great conversation with someone. I'll talk

81
00:04:59,335 --> 00:05:01,455
Speaker 3: about it bit later on about ventilation.

82
00:05:02,535 --> 00:05:05,535
Speaker 4: I know. Actually it was really very exciting.

83
00:05:06,295 --> 00:05:08,535
Speaker 3: We also had the opportunity this week to tag along

84
00:05:08,655 --> 00:05:12,095
Speaker 3: with some guys from Apex Boots that I do some

85
00:05:12,135 --> 00:05:16,135
Speaker 3: work with to the Miter ten expo, so they have

86
00:05:16,455 --> 00:05:21,335
Speaker 3: an exhibitor's expo every year. And then I was lucky

87
00:05:21,455 --> 00:05:26,335
Speaker 3: enough to attend the gala dinner in Hamilton on Wednesday

88
00:05:26,415 --> 00:05:29,495
Speaker 3: night with the people from Mite to ten. So I

89
00:05:29,535 --> 00:05:32,295
Speaker 3: think it was almost one thousand people, one thousand delegates.

90
00:05:32,295 --> 00:05:34,055
Speaker 3: So these are the people that own the stores, These

91
00:05:34,095 --> 00:05:37,415
Speaker 3: are the people that supply into the stores, the support office,

92
00:05:37,455 --> 00:05:41,535
Speaker 3: the executive team, the cooperative and the chair and the

93
00:05:41,615 --> 00:05:45,895
Speaker 3: chief executive and a very swanky and very entertaining gala

94
00:05:45,935 --> 00:05:51,575
Speaker 3: dinner and prize giving at Claudland's Globbox on Wednesday night.

95
00:05:51,735 --> 00:05:54,975
Speaker 3: So my thanks to them for their hospitality. It was

96
00:05:55,015 --> 00:05:58,695
Speaker 3: a fantastic evening and quite an interesting insight into a

97
00:05:58,815 --> 00:06:01,495
Speaker 3: very very large business when it comes to New Zealand.

98
00:06:01,535 --> 00:06:06,615
Speaker 3: So revenue two point two billion dollars goes through Minor

99
00:06:06,695 --> 00:06:10,815
Speaker 3: ten stores. It's remarkable and a tremendous bunch of people,

100
00:06:10,815 --> 00:06:12,655
Speaker 3: to be fair, So thanks very much for your company

Speaker 4: Is well, like mine, a little bit a little bit.

106
00:06:24,815 --> 00:06:26,775
Speaker 3: Uncertain as to what the outcome is going to be

107
00:06:27,015 --> 00:06:28,495
Speaker 3: and you want to talk about it, or you've got

108
00:06:28,495 --> 00:06:30,375
Speaker 3: a project that you're thinking about, or you've got a

109
00:06:30,375 --> 00:06:33,775
Speaker 3: project that's just turned into an absolute disaster that you

110
00:06:33,815 --> 00:06:36,855
Speaker 3: want to ask questions about and issues around contractors.

111
00:06:36,855 --> 00:06:38,415
Speaker 4: I've sort of replied to a couple.

112
00:06:38,255 --> 00:06:41,135
Speaker 3: Of emails this week where people have struggled with the

113
00:06:41,655 --> 00:06:44,895
Speaker 3: quality of the contractors that they've engaged and what do

114
00:06:44,935 --> 00:06:47,615

Speaker 3: on the Olympics as well. I have to say, not

117
00:06:53,295 --> 00:06:55,935
Speaker 3: looking particularly good for Tom Walsh. Looked like he was

118
00:06:55,975 --> 00:06:58,975
Speaker 3: in a great deal of pain after his last throw.

119
00:06:59,255 --> 00:07:01,175

Speaker 5: Oh, good morning to morning.

131
00:07:32,175 --> 00:07:33,815
Speaker 6: I needed a staw bench and I went down to

132
00:07:33,815 --> 00:07:35,295
Speaker 6: mine at ten and got one and brought it at

133
00:07:35,295 --> 00:07:37,055
Speaker 6: home and all this is a good looking staw bench

134
00:07:37,055 --> 00:07:39,735
Speaker 6: for two hundred ninety nine and black in deca right,

135
00:07:40,815 --> 00:07:44,375
Speaker 6: And I put the guard on it and it flew

136
00:07:44,375 --> 00:07:47,055
Speaker 6: off when I started at that, so I thought, well,

137
00:07:47,135 --> 00:07:48,735
Speaker 6: must have done that wrong, So I put it on

138
00:07:48,815 --> 00:07:51,735
Speaker 6: again and checked it as the book said, I put

139
00:07:51,735 --> 00:07:54,575
Speaker 6: it on correctly, put another bit of timber stirt and

140
00:07:54,575 --> 00:07:57,415
Speaker 6: it flew off again. So I took it back to

141
00:07:57,455 --> 00:07:58,975
Speaker 6: my out of ten and they said, oh, there's nothing

142
00:07:58,975 --> 00:08:01,255
Speaker 6: wrong with that, all right, and you have a look

143
00:08:01,255 --> 00:08:02,495
Speaker 6: at it, and I'll come back in the next day.

144
00:08:02,975 --> 00:08:05,215
Speaker 6: And the next day you had a bit of Timber

145
00:08:05,255 --> 00:08:07,935
Speaker 6: City by thirty and about a foot foot or too wrong.

146
00:08:07,975 --> 00:08:10,695
Speaker 6: And he cuts through that his note words perfectly, and

147
00:08:10,775 --> 00:08:13,135
Speaker 6: I says, no, it doesn't And I just ripped just

148
00:08:13,135 --> 00:08:15,415
Speaker 6: by putting my hand. Well it was twitched off, of course.

149
00:08:15,895 --> 00:08:19,015
Speaker 6: I just pushed my hand up and off came the guard.

150
00:08:19,735 --> 00:08:22,095
Speaker 6: And I says that there's two faults of this. The

151
00:08:22,255 --> 00:08:24,695
Speaker 6: on off switch is covered by a flat. Now a

152
00:08:24,775 --> 00:08:27,055
Speaker 6: child will look at and see them stairdy working on it,

153
00:08:27,095 --> 00:08:29,575
Speaker 6: would look up that flat, press the go button and

154
00:08:29,735 --> 00:08:31,535
Speaker 6: allays that spinny thing and then put their hands to

155
00:08:31,575 --> 00:08:32,615
Speaker 6: it and they would lose their hands.

156
00:08:33,695 --> 00:08:36,535
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's really about how you control your workspace,

157
00:08:36,615 --> 00:08:38,575
Speaker 3: to be fair, And I'll tell you a story about that.

158
00:08:39,775 --> 00:08:43,095
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a very bad sword to have a home,

159
00:08:43,135 --> 00:08:46,255
Speaker 6: you know. And so they don't think it's faulty. So

160
00:08:46,295 --> 00:08:48,335
Speaker 6: I rang up the Commerce Commission and then got onto ITOUN.

161
00:08:48,415 --> 00:08:49,775
Speaker 6: So there may be a recall of them.

162
00:08:50,015 --> 00:08:52,855
Speaker 3: Okay, look, I'm to be fair. I'm not actually interested

163
00:08:52,895 --> 00:08:58,615
Speaker 3: in slinging off tools, right. I understand where you're coming from.

164
00:08:58,655 --> 00:09:03,455
Speaker 3: And obviously safety is phenomenally important when it comes to

165
00:09:03,655 --> 00:09:07,455
Speaker 3: two power tools. Yeah, I guess too. There's there's a

166
00:09:07,775 --> 00:09:09,975
Speaker 3: I mean, how much research did you do in terms

167
00:09:10,015 --> 00:09:13,575
Speaker 3: of selecting a table saw, and like, what sorts of

168
00:09:13,695 --> 00:09:15,735
Speaker 3: tasks will you do with your table saw?

169
00:09:17,095 --> 00:09:19,575
Speaker 6: Well, with the table saw, I've got to build a

170
00:09:19,615 --> 00:09:23,535
Speaker 6: new book. Thinks cup tops cut things up? And as yeah,

171
00:09:24,975 --> 00:09:27,975
Speaker 6: I only found out of about eight there, I only

172
00:09:27,975 --> 00:09:30,295
Speaker 6: found one that had a steel guard that would not

173
00:09:30,415 --> 00:09:34,255
Speaker 6: move right would move, and I thought, this is not right.

174
00:09:34,815 --> 00:09:36,975
Speaker 6: And even the one that had the good guard only

175
00:09:36,975 --> 00:09:39,695
Speaker 6: had a flip cover on the on off switch. And

176
00:09:39,775 --> 00:09:42,295
Speaker 6: little kids are very excited around tools and very interested

177
00:09:42,335 --> 00:09:44,055
Speaker 6: in things, especially a little.

178
00:09:43,815 --> 00:09:44,375
Speaker 4: More I know.

179
00:09:44,415 --> 00:09:49,015
Speaker 3: But again, and look, I've got a young son, and

180
00:09:49,135 --> 00:09:51,775
Speaker 3: I've got a table saw, and I can remember a

181
00:09:51,815 --> 00:09:54,495
Speaker 3: time years ago when I was working in the shed

182
00:09:54,535 --> 00:09:58,615
Speaker 3: and I had the table saw set up, thankfully, with

183
00:09:58,695 --> 00:10:01,175
Speaker 3: the blade down and all the rest of it, and

184
00:10:01,295 --> 00:10:04,615
Speaker 3: my little eye wandered and was looking around and curious

185
00:10:04,655 --> 00:10:07,055
Speaker 3: and so on, and he flicked a switch on the

186
00:10:07,095 --> 00:10:10,175
Speaker 3: table saw and it started. Now he was standing reasonably

187
00:10:10,175 --> 00:10:12,015
Speaker 3: way back and all the rest of it. So I

188
00:10:12,055 --> 00:10:16,015
Speaker 3: know exactly what you mean. It's scared the living daylights

189
00:10:16,055 --> 00:10:18,415
Speaker 3: out of him. And to be fair, it's scared the

190
00:10:18,415 --> 00:10:21,815
Speaker 3: living daylights out of me too. But you know, in

191
00:10:21,855 --> 00:10:24,135
Speaker 3: the end, if you're going to let children into a workspace,

192
00:10:24,175 --> 00:10:26,255
Speaker 3: that's your responsibility, not the tool owners.

193
00:10:27,015 --> 00:10:28,135
Speaker 6: Well he's at home, you know.

194
00:10:28,575 --> 00:10:31,735
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. But ultimately it's your responsibility, not the taller.

195
00:10:31,975 --> 00:10:33,855
Speaker 3: So what are you going to do? Wait for the

196
00:10:33,975 --> 00:10:35,655
Speaker 3: com com to tell you.

197
00:10:35,615 --> 00:10:36,055
Speaker 4: What to do?

198
00:10:37,175 --> 00:10:38,975
Speaker 6: What I did is I rang up the Commerce Commission

199
00:10:39,015 --> 00:10:41,175
Speaker 6: and they're looking into it. They say they could be

200
00:10:41,175 --> 00:10:41,975
Speaker 6: a product recall.

201
00:10:42,895 --> 00:10:45,415
Speaker 3: Yeah, well look, and you know, if the guard's not

202
00:10:45,455 --> 00:10:48,055
Speaker 3: supposed to come off and it does, then that's obviously

203
00:10:49,055 --> 00:10:49,775
Speaker 3: not accepted and.

204
00:10:49,775 --> 00:10:52,655
Speaker 6: The other switch should be protected. Well ahead was a

205
00:10:52,655 --> 00:10:54,335
Speaker 6: flat that went over? That's all here.

206
00:10:54,415 --> 00:10:56,535
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's enough, isn't it. I mean, what else would.

207
00:10:56,375 --> 00:10:56,775
Speaker 4: You want to do?

208
00:10:57,095 --> 00:10:59,135
Speaker 6: No, that's not enough because kids look up there.

209
00:11:00,015 --> 00:11:02,575
Speaker 3: Again, kids shouldn't be in the workshop if they're not supervised.

210
00:11:03,375 --> 00:11:05,175
Speaker 6: I mean it could be or could be in the

211
00:11:05,215 --> 00:11:06,255
Speaker 6: workshop if either.

212
00:11:06,095 --> 00:11:10,335
Speaker 3: One either way either way A flap over this that,

213
00:11:10,735 --> 00:11:12,215
Speaker 3: I mean the way that I would look at it

214
00:11:12,295 --> 00:11:14,215
Speaker 3: is And I'm just trying to think. My sword doesn't

215
00:11:14,215 --> 00:11:16,855
Speaker 3: even have a flap over the guard right over the

216
00:11:17,375 --> 00:11:19,895
Speaker 3: on off switch. The on off switch is simply a toggle.

217
00:11:20,295 --> 00:11:21,975
Speaker 3: You lift it up to start it and you press

218
00:11:21,975 --> 00:11:24,495
Speaker 3: it down to turn it off. Right, So it's easy

219
00:11:24,495 --> 00:11:29,375
Speaker 3: to turn off. And that's that that prevents you exit

220
00:11:29,415 --> 00:11:33,215
Speaker 3: because you have to lift the trigger on up. It

221
00:11:33,295 --> 00:11:38,615
Speaker 3: stops you inadvertently bumping it. Yep, right, So I think

222
00:11:38,615 --> 00:11:41,575
Speaker 3: that's safe enough. I don't think you need a cover

223
00:11:41,895 --> 00:11:43,775
Speaker 3: with a switch underneath it. I mean I've got another

224
00:11:44,455 --> 00:11:45,535
Speaker 3: some other power tools.

225
00:11:46,015 --> 00:11:49,335
Speaker 6: It needs to have the cover that you can lock switch.

226
00:11:50,335 --> 00:11:55,295
Speaker 3: No, no, no, then I disagree with you.

227
00:11:56,175 --> 00:11:57,975
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, then I'll agree with you.

228
00:11:58,055 --> 00:12:00,535
Speaker 6: I'll like to leave that on off switch available to suppress.

229
00:12:01,575 --> 00:12:05,135
Speaker 3: Well, no, I'm saying to you that ultimately, responsibility in

230
00:12:05,575 --> 00:12:08,535
Speaker 3: workshops is up to the owner, right and to your

231
00:12:08,575 --> 00:12:13,855
Speaker 3: person responsible. So having a lockable switch on power tools

232
00:12:14,055 --> 00:12:21,215
Speaker 3: is not required it it is the manufacturers.

233
00:12:21,215 --> 00:12:23,895
Speaker 6: The manufacturers should not have let it get through the testing.

234
00:12:24,055 --> 00:12:26,415
Speaker 3: No, that's one hundred percent disagree with you.

235
00:12:27,415 --> 00:12:29,095
Speaker 6: Okay, okay mate, we'll just leave it there.

236
00:12:29,135 --> 00:12:31,095
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, much appreciate it. Thanks for the call

237
00:12:31,775 --> 00:12:36,095
Speaker 3: much and you take care. There is a thing called

238
00:12:36,135 --> 00:12:39,495
Speaker 3: personal responsibility. That's where I'm coming from. Sows and power

239
00:12:39,495 --> 00:12:42,175
Speaker 3: tools need to be safe, but they are also power

240
00:12:42,255 --> 00:12:44,695
Speaker 3: tools designed for use, and they don't need to have

241
00:12:44,775 --> 00:12:48,535
Speaker 3: lockable covers on them in my opinion, Oh, eight hundred

242
00:12:48,615 --> 00:12:50,935
Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call Joe.

243
00:12:50,975 --> 00:12:54,215
Speaker 5: Good morning, Good morning, Peter.

244
00:12:55,375 --> 00:12:58,575
Speaker 8: We're in the process of building a garage and we've

245
00:12:58,615 --> 00:13:02,615
Speaker 8: got our firewall. Is a block wall, and it's filled

246
00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:06,775
Speaker 8: with concrete. Yes, we had a big grain for about

247
00:13:06,775 --> 00:13:09,415
Speaker 8: three or four days here and some of the water

248
00:13:09,535 --> 00:13:13,135
Speaker 8: has seeped through. So we just need to know what

249
00:13:13,215 --> 00:13:16,055
Speaker 8: product do we use to see all the X year

250
00:13:16,175 --> 00:13:19,255
Speaker 8: the outside of it to prevent the water coming through.

251
00:13:22,655 --> 00:13:25,335
Speaker 3: I'm really curious because over the years I would have

252
00:13:25,375 --> 00:13:28,735
Speaker 3: had tens, if not hundreds of questions very much like yours,

253
00:13:28,775 --> 00:13:32,735
Speaker 3: but typically they're about, you know, a nineteen seventies block

254
00:13:32,775 --> 00:13:35,735
Speaker 3: wall or something like that. So a new block wall

255
00:13:36,935 --> 00:13:40,815
Speaker 3: that's solid filled as ' grouted and it's sitting I

256
00:13:40,895 --> 00:13:44,655
Speaker 3: presume on a concrete slab yep. And the concrete slab

257
00:13:44,775 --> 00:13:49,055
Speaker 3: is not in the ground as a retaining wall, or

258
00:13:49,695 --> 00:13:55,095
Speaker 3: the wall's not a retaining wall as such. No, is

259
00:13:55,135 --> 00:13:57,015
Speaker 3: the building finished and it's leaking.

260
00:13:59,055 --> 00:14:00,895
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're just about there, yep.

261
00:14:01,775 --> 00:14:05,575
Speaker 3: So all the down pipes, flashing, spouting, everything.

262
00:14:05,255 --> 00:14:07,175
Speaker 4: Is right, Okay.

263
00:14:11,135 --> 00:14:13,775
Speaker 3: I am quite curious as to where that leak might

264
00:14:13,815 --> 00:14:17,815
Speaker 3: be coming from, because it would require a lot of

265
00:14:17,855 --> 00:14:22,415
Speaker 3: water to force its way through what is effectively one

266
00:14:22,455 --> 00:14:26,135
Speaker 3: hundred and ninety mili block that's then grouted if it's

267
00:14:26,215 --> 00:14:31,415
Speaker 3: solid filled. Right, So, potentially do the block sit on

268
00:14:31,535 --> 00:14:34,455
Speaker 3: top of the concrete slab or do the blocks extend

269
00:14:34,895 --> 00:14:38,615
Speaker 3: from the foundations up and the slab is cast into

270
00:14:38,655 --> 00:14:39,255
Speaker 3: the side of.

271
00:14:39,215 --> 00:14:41,575
Speaker 9: It if you record out of it, on top of it.

272
00:14:41,535 --> 00:14:44,215
Speaker 4: They sit on top of right? And where are you

273
00:14:44,295 --> 00:14:45,055
Speaker 4: seeing the water?

274
00:14:46,055 --> 00:14:50,135
Speaker 8: Most of the water was down the bottom.

275
00:14:49,935 --> 00:14:52,855
Speaker 3: Down the bottom at that junction between the slab.

276
00:14:54,015 --> 00:14:57,295
Speaker 8: Yeah, and there was a little, just a little, a

277
00:14:57,335 --> 00:14:59,295
Speaker 8: couple of little pitches sort of midway up.

278
00:14:59,495 --> 00:14:59,975
Speaker 4: Yeah.

279
00:15:00,015 --> 00:15:02,015
Speaker 3: And the block wall is it only one wall and

280
00:15:02,055 --> 00:15:04,415
Speaker 3: then the other walls are timber framed that sort of thing.

281
00:15:05,175 --> 00:15:06,855
Speaker 4: Or is the whole garage block wall?

282
00:15:07,575 --> 00:15:10,015
Speaker 8: No, just the one, just the one wall.

283
00:15:10,215 --> 00:15:10,415
Speaker 10: Yeah.

284
00:15:11,255 --> 00:15:13,095
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I think you should be talking to

285
00:15:13,455 --> 00:15:17,215
Speaker 3: the builder and go, hey, look what's the plan here.

286
00:15:17,255 --> 00:15:19,295
Speaker 3: The other thing is obviously this work. If it's a

287
00:15:19,335 --> 00:15:22,255
Speaker 3: block wall and it's required for fire rating, the work

288
00:15:22,295 --> 00:15:25,095
Speaker 3: will have a building consent be interesting to have a

289
00:15:25,135 --> 00:15:28,015
Speaker 3: look on the building consent to see what is required

290
00:15:28,055 --> 00:15:34,335
Speaker 3: on the exterior typically for and I've seen unpainted masonry

291
00:15:34,415 --> 00:15:38,735
Speaker 3: walls not lead in water for decades, right, So I

292
00:15:38,775 --> 00:15:43,655
Speaker 3: am genuinely a little bit surprised. But I would say, look,

293
00:15:44,295 --> 00:15:46,095
Speaker 3: have a talk to the builder, Talk to them about

294
00:15:46,135 --> 00:15:48,335
Speaker 3: what flashings might still need to go on, where the

295
00:15:48,375 --> 00:15:50,295
Speaker 3: spouting has to go on, down pipes have to go on,

296
00:15:50,375 --> 00:15:52,815
Speaker 3: that sort of thing. That might actually solve the problem.

297
00:15:53,015 --> 00:15:54,935
Speaker 3: But the other thing is just in general, what you

298
00:15:54,975 --> 00:15:59,255
Speaker 3: can do is seal the masonry wall, So seal the

299
00:15:59,255 --> 00:16:03,495
Speaker 3: blocks on the exterior with preferably a pigmented sealer so

300
00:16:03,775 --> 00:16:08,255
Speaker 3: something like shore Seal right from razine, and then paint

301
00:16:08,255 --> 00:16:13,495
Speaker 3: it with X two hundred, which is essentially a waterproofing

302
00:16:13,615 --> 00:16:18,375
Speaker 3: paint right designed specifically for masonry surfaces, so you can

303
00:16:18,455 --> 00:16:21,095
Speaker 3: use it on plaster, you can use it on blocks,

304
00:16:21,135 --> 00:16:24,775
Speaker 3: et cetera. And that will give you a waterproof membrane

305
00:16:24,815 --> 00:16:28,175
Speaker 3: on the exterior of there, and that will seal up

306
00:16:28,215 --> 00:16:31,535
Speaker 3: any minor pores and bits and pieces where water might

307
00:16:31,535 --> 00:16:34,135
Speaker 3: be coming through. But I would still have a serious

308
00:16:34,175 --> 00:16:37,135
Speaker 3: discussion with the builder about what flashings need to be

309
00:16:37,175 --> 00:16:41,215
Speaker 3: done where the drainage goes. And I presume the ground

310
00:16:41,295 --> 00:16:43,455
Speaker 3: level on the outside of the block will isn't going

311
00:16:43,495 --> 00:16:45,695
Speaker 3: to be elevated. It's not like there's a requirement to

312
00:16:45,735 --> 00:16:50,175
Speaker 3: do waterproofing there or anything like that. Okay, Yeah, have

313
00:16:50,215 --> 00:16:52,575
Speaker 3: a look on the consent too, because it may well

314
00:16:52,615 --> 00:16:56,415
Speaker 3: specify that the wall needs to be painted, and it

315
00:16:56,495 --> 00:16:58,455
Speaker 3: might specify a particular product.

316
00:16:58,935 --> 00:17:02,015
Speaker 4: Okay, alrighty, okay, let us know how you get on. Alrighty,

317
00:17:02,055 --> 00:17:02,495
Speaker 4: take care.

318
00:17:08,695 --> 00:17:10,935
Speaker 3: Eight hundred eighty ten eighty is that number to call?

319
00:17:11,175 --> 00:17:13,455
Speaker 3: Eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine to two ninety two

320
00:17:13,455 --> 00:17:16,495
Speaker 3: on the text. A couple of interesting texts coming through

321
00:17:19,135 --> 00:17:20,935
Speaker 3: with regard to our first call it to be fair

322
00:17:21,135 --> 00:17:23,055
Speaker 3: I eight hundred eighty ten eighty. We'll take a short

323
00:17:23,055 --> 00:17:24,895
Speaker 3: break back with Dean in a moment. If you'd like

324
00:17:24,935 --> 00:17:28,735
Speaker 3: to join us. The lines are open. Some fascinating texts

325
00:17:28,735 --> 00:17:32,495
Speaker 3: coming in off the back of Paul's comments, not so

326
00:17:32,615 --> 00:17:36,495
Speaker 3: much necessarily about the particular choice of tool and all

327
00:17:36,535 --> 00:17:40,455
Speaker 3: the rest of it, just around attitudes to safety and look,

328
00:17:40,495 --> 00:17:43,775
Speaker 3: we all work at home, right. If you're listening to

329
00:17:43,815 --> 00:17:47,455
Speaker 3: the show, chances are you've you've done some work. You

330
00:17:47,535 --> 00:17:49,815
Speaker 3: might have used a ladder, or you've had a couple

331
00:17:49,855 --> 00:17:52,455
Speaker 3: of sawhorses with a plank on it, or you've had

332
00:17:53,415 --> 00:17:56,175
Speaker 3: a sander that you've used to strip back some timber,

333
00:17:56,375 --> 00:17:58,415
Speaker 3: or in some case you might have a power tool,

334
00:17:58,775 --> 00:18:01,575
Speaker 3: a drill or a driver, or a multi tool, or

335
00:18:01,615 --> 00:18:05,335
Speaker 3: a jigsaw, or a receip saw or a chainsaw, or

336
00:18:05,375 --> 00:18:08,815
Speaker 3: a weed eater or a motor motor motama. Sorry, you

337
00:18:08,855 --> 00:18:12,215
Speaker 3: know all of these items, right. If we're this whole

338
00:18:12,255 --> 00:18:14,255
Speaker 3: show is about doing it yourself, right, So if you're

339
00:18:14,255 --> 00:18:16,175
Speaker 3: going to do it yourself, you're probably gonna mean it.

340
00:18:16,815 --> 00:18:20,095
Speaker 3: I was sharpening chisels on Friday, right, chisels are well

341
00:18:20,375 --> 00:18:23,215
Speaker 3: sharp now because I sharpened them. You know all of

342
00:18:23,255 --> 00:18:25,615
Speaker 3: these things, And I have to say in my own head,

343
00:18:25,735 --> 00:18:29,815
Speaker 3: I often have to consciously remind myself when I'm using

344
00:18:29,855 --> 00:18:33,615
Speaker 3: a table saw or saw bench. I've got to remember

345
00:18:33,615 --> 00:18:35,615
Speaker 3: that this thing wants to take my bits off, right,

346
00:18:35,655 --> 00:18:37,455
Speaker 3: It wants to take my finger off if I get

347
00:18:37,455 --> 00:18:40,935
Speaker 3: too close to that blade. And I know guys who

348
00:18:40,935 --> 00:18:45,175
Speaker 3: have lost either whole fingers, parts of fingers, parts of

349
00:18:45,335 --> 00:18:50,055
Speaker 3: thumbs and that sort of thing. You know, you do

350
00:18:50,095 --> 00:18:52,135
Speaker 3: you have to keep that presence of mind to go

351
00:18:52,695 --> 00:18:55,055
Speaker 3: that blade. If it's cutting that piece of timber that

352
00:18:55,095 --> 00:18:58,335
Speaker 3: I'm watching go through the blade, then it's not going

353
00:18:58,415 --> 00:19:03,215
Speaker 3: to have a problem with one of my digits. But

354
00:19:03,535 --> 00:19:10,135
Speaker 3: that's about your own presence of mind, your own awareness

355
00:19:10,815 --> 00:19:15,015
Speaker 3: of the situation, and your own control around health and

356
00:19:15,055 --> 00:19:18,975
Speaker 3: safety and proper practices around power tools, all of which

357
00:19:19,175 --> 00:19:20,335
Speaker 3: will hurt you if you.

358
00:19:20,255 --> 00:19:20,855
Speaker 4: Don't use them.

359
00:19:20,855 --> 00:19:23,335
Speaker 3: Well, Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number

360
00:19:23,375 --> 00:19:27,015
Speaker 3: to call Dean. Good morning, Good Dane.

361
00:19:26,815 --> 00:19:27,375
Speaker 7: Morning Pete.

362
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:30,775
Speaker 10: Yep, sorry, mate, just said the microphone in the wrong place. Yeah,

363
00:19:30,775 --> 00:19:34,335
Speaker 10: couldn't agree. Couldn't agree more. Our tools are dangerous, inherently dangerous.

364
00:19:34,975 --> 00:19:38,015
Speaker 3: Look like, I was looking at some gear the other day,

365
00:19:38,015 --> 00:19:41,535
Speaker 3: and I've got some stuff which has real, you know,

366
00:19:41,895 --> 00:19:45,215
Speaker 3: additional safety features that are really useful. So a grinder

367
00:19:45,255 --> 00:19:49,855
Speaker 3: that I use, for example, has a mechanism and it's

368
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:52,495
Speaker 3: beyond me to explain it. That means that when you

369
00:19:52,775 --> 00:19:54,975
Speaker 3: overtalk it.

370
00:19:54,295 --> 00:19:55,855
Speaker 4: It will stop. Right.

371
00:19:55,935 --> 00:19:59,775
Speaker 3: So if you're cutting, let's say, with a grinder, and

372
00:19:59,975 --> 00:20:02,775
Speaker 3: you're pressing too hard, you've twisted the blade and you're

373
00:20:02,815 --> 00:20:07,695
Speaker 3: putting too much pressure onto the cutting, it will trip out. Now,

374
00:20:07,695 --> 00:20:10,775
Speaker 3: that's useful because typically the next stage after that is

375
00:20:10,815 --> 00:20:13,415
Speaker 3: it will kick back right, and that's dangerous. And I

376
00:20:13,575 --> 00:20:16,215
Speaker 3: was looking at some gear the other day where they

377
00:20:16,255 --> 00:20:20,335
Speaker 3: had that feature into a drill and again the same thing.

378
00:20:20,415 --> 00:20:23,815
Speaker 3: I have a small fracture on my left wrist where

379
00:20:23,895 --> 00:20:25,615
Speaker 3: the drill I was using when I was drilling through

380
00:20:25,615 --> 00:20:29,695
Speaker 3: a steel bean bit and the drill just dragged my

381
00:20:29,855 --> 00:20:33,295
Speaker 3: arm around and cracked it into the steel to the

382
00:20:33,375 --> 00:20:36,255
Speaker 3: edge of an ee bean and hey, presto, there's a

383
00:20:36,255 --> 00:20:38,495
Speaker 3: small little fracture there. Us kind of wondering why it

384
00:20:38,575 --> 00:20:40,775
Speaker 3: hurts so much. But anyway, so you know, I mean,

385
00:20:41,095 --> 00:20:43,775
Speaker 3: I think it's great that there are additional safety features

386
00:20:43,815 --> 00:20:47,975
Speaker 3: in power tools, but ultimately, if it's your workspace, you're

387
00:20:48,055 --> 00:20:51,775
Speaker 3: responsible for who's there and their competency and your own,

388
00:20:51,975 --> 00:20:55,695
Speaker 3: is my opinion. Yeah, anyway, that's not probably what we were

389
00:20:55,615 --> 00:20:56,495
Speaker 3: going to talk about, Deane.

390
00:20:56,495 --> 00:20:57,135
Speaker 4: Tell me what's.

391
00:20:58,575 --> 00:21:02,855
Speaker 10: So We're getting a house very extensively re roosted and hated, right,

392
00:21:03,215 --> 00:21:08,215
Speaker 10: and it's a house, and so well, the scaffolds. It's

393
00:21:08,215 --> 00:21:10,135
Speaker 10: been suggested that I should replace the gathering.

394
00:21:10,535 --> 00:21:12,295
Speaker 4: Yep, sounds sensible.

395
00:21:12,415 --> 00:21:17,135
Speaker 10: It's yeah, the gathering's okay, it doesn't really need to

396
00:21:17,175 --> 00:21:19,775
Speaker 10: be replaced, but you know it probably will sometime the

397
00:21:19,815 --> 00:21:25,095
Speaker 10: next ten years or so. Sure, So my question is basically,

398
00:21:25,335 --> 00:21:29,535
Speaker 10: how much does it cost to head flash windows? And

399
00:21:29,575 --> 00:21:31,775
Speaker 10: how much does it cost to put gathering on in

400
00:21:31,855 --> 00:21:36,855
Speaker 10: your experience? Okay, so the scaffolding is already up, so

401
00:21:36,895 --> 00:21:39,855
Speaker 10: you know that cost has already been absorbed. Yes, we're

402
00:21:39,935 --> 00:21:44,295
Speaker 10: so nothing additional there. So we have sixteen head flashings,

403
00:21:44,575 --> 00:21:47,335
Speaker 10: some of which are very definitely marginal. I mean, the

404
00:21:47,375 --> 00:21:51,335
Speaker 10: house is one hundred years old, so okay, time with you, yep, yep.

405
00:21:51,415 --> 00:21:54,575
Speaker 10: So basically we have sixteen of these things that could

406
00:21:54,615 --> 00:21:57,295
Speaker 10: be replaced. What does it cost to replace a head

407
00:21:57,335 --> 00:21:59,815
Speaker 10: flashing on a window? As a ballpark figure?

408
00:22:00,855 --> 00:22:03,735
Speaker 3: A couple of questions for exterior clading is a weatherboard

409
00:22:03,855 --> 00:22:06,895
Speaker 3: and a traditional style weatherboard or a rusticided board?

410
00:22:08,255 --> 00:22:10,215
Speaker 10: No, just traditional, okay, all right?

411
00:22:10,495 --> 00:22:12,895
Speaker 3: And so the head flashing sits over the top of

412
00:22:13,015 --> 00:22:16,855
Speaker 3: the facings. There's probably a little like a headboard that's

413
00:22:16,895 --> 00:22:20,175
Speaker 3: slightly sloped and timber, and then the flashing itself sits

414
00:22:20,215 --> 00:22:23,335
Speaker 3: over that and then tucks up to the underneath the

415
00:22:23,335 --> 00:22:26,215
Speaker 3: board above, so it's not recessed into the timber.

416
00:22:27,775 --> 00:22:31,295
Speaker 10: No, it's not recessed or it is the old style

417
00:22:32,095 --> 00:22:34,935
Speaker 10: pete I imagined. You know, you've got your window projecting

418
00:22:34,935 --> 00:22:36,855
Speaker 10: out to right, You've got a weather ball behind it,

419
00:22:36,895 --> 00:22:38,935
Speaker 10: and there's a flashing that sits on it weather board

420
00:22:39,015 --> 00:22:42,815
Speaker 10: and folds over the window, and it's it. Yes, yeah,

421
00:22:42,855 --> 00:22:46,095
Speaker 10: it might it might lodge into the weather board above

422
00:22:46,175 --> 00:22:49,775
Speaker 10: the weather board above the window. Yeah, yeah, yep.

423
00:22:50,895 --> 00:22:52,655
Speaker 4: Basically yeah, Okay.

424
00:22:52,495 --> 00:22:55,095
Speaker 10: What could you expect to pay peer flashing to take

425
00:22:55,135 --> 00:22:58,055
Speaker 10: the old one off? You know, you know, you cramp

426
00:22:58,095 --> 00:23:00,415
Speaker 10: a new one presumably, and then put the new one on.

427
00:23:01,055 --> 00:23:03,895
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just thinking about that. Like, let's say

428
00:23:03,935 --> 00:23:07,375
Speaker 3: you've well one, chances are the flesh won't be standard, right,

429
00:23:07,415 --> 00:23:10,055
Speaker 3: so you have to go to site measure probably each

430
00:23:10,135 --> 00:23:13,215
Speaker 3: window and get them folded up. So that's going to

431
00:23:13,255 --> 00:23:15,855
Speaker 3: cost you, you know, a couple of hours of work,

432
00:23:16,055 --> 00:23:19,295
Speaker 3: and then the flashings, the freshings probably will cost you

433
00:23:19,335 --> 00:23:22,615
Speaker 3: over a thousand bucks for the oh maybe not that much.

434
00:23:23,295 --> 00:23:25,895
Speaker 4: Let's say it's five hundred bucks for the flashings themselves.

435
00:23:25,935 --> 00:23:28,055
Speaker 10: It's not basically a big long window.

436
00:23:28,135 --> 00:23:30,015
Speaker 3: But you know, by the time you send it off

437
00:23:30,015 --> 00:23:31,735
Speaker 3: to someone, they've got to cut them all. They've got

438
00:23:31,735 --> 00:23:33,495
Speaker 3: to fold them. You've got to get the angle right

439
00:23:33,575 --> 00:23:35,415
Speaker 3: and all the rest of it. So if you get that,

440
00:23:35,495 --> 00:23:38,255
Speaker 3: but right then when you arrive back on site with

441
00:23:38,335 --> 00:23:41,415
Speaker 3: all of your flashings number one through sixteen, you've got

442
00:23:41,455 --> 00:23:43,535
Speaker 3: to pull the old one off. You've got to pry

443
00:23:43,615 --> 00:23:46,375
Speaker 3: open the gap between the lower and the upper weatherboard.

444
00:23:47,255 --> 00:23:50,535
Speaker 3: You've got to take the old one out. You've got

445
00:23:50,575 --> 00:23:53,055
Speaker 3: to fold the ends round, so there's a little bit

446
00:23:53,055 --> 00:23:55,135
Speaker 3: of funky sort of cutting and folding that you need

447
00:23:55,175 --> 00:23:58,055
Speaker 3: to do because they're all bespoke, and then slide it

448
00:23:58,135 --> 00:24:00,175
Speaker 3: up and put a couple of pins through the side.

449
00:24:00,975 --> 00:24:01,175
Speaker 7: Look.

450
00:24:01,255 --> 00:24:02,735
Speaker 4: To be fair, I would probably.

451
00:24:02,375 --> 00:24:07,375
Speaker 3: Allow an hour per window to move a flashing, making

452
00:24:07,455 --> 00:24:08,655
Speaker 3: new one and put one in.

453
00:24:09,375 --> 00:24:10,135
Speaker 4: I could probably do.

454
00:24:10,095 --> 00:24:11,855
Speaker 3: It a little bit faster than that, but I think

455
00:24:11,855 --> 00:24:14,495
Speaker 3: if I was quoting, i'd probably allow close to an

456
00:24:14,535 --> 00:24:17,175
Speaker 3: hour per window, so it'd be a two day job.

457
00:24:18,375 --> 00:24:21,335
Speaker 3: Chippies at sixty bucks an hour, you know you're talking

458
00:24:21,695 --> 00:24:24,775
Speaker 3: twelve to fourteen hundred dollars plus the materials could be

459
00:24:24,815 --> 00:24:28,415
Speaker 3: almost a two thousand dollars exercise. And I know I'm

460
00:24:28,455 --> 00:24:29,895
Speaker 3: going to get a bunch of texts in a minute.

461
00:24:29,895 --> 00:24:36,135
Speaker 10: Agoousand dollars we're talking sixteen flashings here. Yeah, so you're

462
00:24:36,175 --> 00:24:38,335
Speaker 10: saying about one thousand dollars to flashing, were you?

463
00:24:38,535 --> 00:24:38,695
Speaker 11: No?

464
00:24:38,695 --> 00:24:41,815
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I was thinking to buy the flashings,

465
00:24:42,775 --> 00:24:45,015
Speaker 3: to buy all of them, I think it'd be I

466
00:24:45,055 --> 00:24:47,295
Speaker 3: think it's probably more like five hundred bucks right to

467
00:24:47,335 --> 00:24:50,095
Speaker 3: go and get them made by someone and have them.

468
00:24:50,375 --> 00:24:52,855
Speaker 4: Do they need to be stainless? Well, now to comply.

469
00:24:53,015 --> 00:24:56,895
Speaker 10: All sixteen one thousand dollars in total?

470
00:24:57,015 --> 00:25:00,695
Speaker 3: No, five hundred. Let's make it five hundred for sixteen, right.

471
00:25:00,535 --> 00:25:02,695
Speaker 10: Five hundred for sixteen or so, Yeah, somewhere between a

472
00:25:02,735 --> 00:25:03,935
Speaker 10: five hundred.

473
00:25:03,415 --> 00:25:07,135
Speaker 3: And then let's allow two days work for a carpenter,

474
00:25:07,935 --> 00:25:12,215
Speaker 3: so at sixty bucks an hour or something like that. Yeah,

475
00:25:12,215 --> 00:25:15,455
Speaker 3: it'll be a fifteen hundred and sixteen hundred dollars exercise,

476
00:25:15,535 --> 00:25:19,015
Speaker 3: I would think, and spouting interestingly enough, I heard an

477
00:25:19,055 --> 00:25:21,495
Speaker 3: ad actually running on this station the other day that

478
00:25:22,335 --> 00:25:28,015
Speaker 3: for its continuous group doing starting at twenty six dollars

479
00:25:28,055 --> 00:25:28,815
Speaker 3: a linear meter.

480
00:25:29,255 --> 00:25:32,935
Speaker 10: Now, yes, which raises my second question, So how much

481
00:25:32,975 --> 00:25:35,055
Speaker 10: do you think it would cost to put in thirty

482
00:25:35,095 --> 00:25:39,415
Speaker 10: three meters of gathering? There's nothing special about the gathering,

483
00:25:39,855 --> 00:25:42,615
Speaker 10: and they are talking about having brackets every four hundred mili.

484
00:25:42,775 --> 00:25:43,015
Speaker 4: Good.

485
00:25:44,015 --> 00:25:47,775
Speaker 10: There's about nine outlets yep, and end caps and clips

486
00:25:47,815 --> 00:25:51,175
Speaker 10: and stuff. So thirty three meters skateboarding is already up,

487
00:25:51,935 --> 00:25:54,095
Speaker 10: so no extra costs for that.

488
00:25:55,215 --> 00:25:56,095
Speaker 4: Twenty three members.

489
00:25:56,135 --> 00:25:58,575
Speaker 3: I mean, thirty three meters is actually not that much,

490
00:25:58,655 --> 00:26:01,935
Speaker 3: to be fair, but if there's you know, droppers are

491
00:26:01,975 --> 00:26:03,935
Speaker 3: more expensive than a straight run. You've got to do

492
00:26:04,055 --> 00:26:08,055
Speaker 3: end caps and that sort of thing. I mean, I've

493
00:26:08,095 --> 00:26:10,655
Speaker 3: done some numbers. I've come up with sixteen hundred bucks,

494
00:26:10,695 --> 00:26:11,535
Speaker 3: but let's call it two.

495
00:26:11,495 --> 00:26:13,335
Speaker 10: Grand two grand?

496
00:26:13,615 --> 00:26:15,495
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so where have you ended up with?

497
00:26:15,655 --> 00:26:18,415
Speaker 10: Quotes?

498
00:26:18,695 --> 00:26:21,895
Speaker 3: And for good reason you can understand why I'm reluctant

499
00:26:21,935 --> 00:26:25,055
Speaker 3: to sort of discuss numbers, because it's different areas and

500
00:26:25,055 --> 00:26:27,015
Speaker 3: I don't want to comment on anyone else's.

501
00:26:26,695 --> 00:26:33,295
Speaker 10: Work, particularly special. Right, So thirty three meters five thousand,

502
00:26:33,375 --> 00:26:34,895
Speaker 10: one hundred and twenty plus.

503
00:26:34,655 --> 00:26:38,135
Speaker 4: Gsc sorry how much? Five thousand, five.

504
00:26:38,375 --> 00:26:40,735
Speaker 10: One hundred and twenty and I just couldn't get my

505
00:26:40,735 --> 00:26:43,895
Speaker 10: head around it. So I did some pricing for one.

506
00:26:43,855 --> 00:26:45,815
Speaker 3: Hundred and fifty five dollars a linear meter.

507
00:26:46,695 --> 00:26:49,575
Speaker 10: Yeah cool, wait, friky.

508
00:26:50,655 --> 00:26:53,255
Speaker 4: Krakey yeah yeah.

509
00:26:54,095 --> 00:26:55,735
Speaker 10: So I thought, well, gosh, there must be a lot

510
00:26:55,775 --> 00:26:59,175
Speaker 10: more guttering than I thought, so I asked how much,

511
00:26:59,335 --> 00:27:03,015
Speaker 10: how many meters and he consumed, there's thirty three meters

512
00:27:03,015 --> 00:27:06,415
Speaker 10: of guttering nine outdates. We need to replace all the

513
00:27:06,535 --> 00:27:09,135
Speaker 10: end kept and clips. To replace the external bends on

514
00:27:09,175 --> 00:27:11,975
Speaker 10: the bottom level, we'll be using stainless or screws, very

515
00:27:12,015 --> 00:27:15,015
Speaker 10: gutter brackets, so they'll be putting brackets in every four hundred.

516
00:27:14,735 --> 00:27:18,695
Speaker 4: Milk basically, yeah, but screws are not Unit wasn't talking.

517
00:27:18,535 --> 00:27:20,855
Speaker 10: About this though, peak, which I thought a bit surprising.

518
00:27:20,935 --> 00:27:23,695
Speaker 10: The gathering code also includes installing timber in between the

519
00:27:23,775 --> 00:27:28,535
Speaker 10: current timber fixings. Now that I don't quite understand. Yes,

520
00:27:28,575 --> 00:27:32,815
Speaker 10: because basically all but one chunk there is one bit

521
00:27:32,935 --> 00:27:35,735
Speaker 10: there where the gathering is basically sitting on nothing. So

522
00:27:35,775 --> 00:27:38,295
Speaker 10: they need to put another board and take the existing

523
00:27:38,335 --> 00:27:40,215
Speaker 10: gathering off put a board in, But that's about two

524
00:27:40,375 --> 00:27:43,175
Speaker 10: three meters worth of you know. The rest of them

525
00:27:43,215 --> 00:27:46,455
Speaker 10: they just attached to the body. We call them faces,

526
00:27:46,495 --> 00:27:48,575
Speaker 10: I guess, like normal gathering.

527
00:27:48,735 --> 00:27:52,535
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, okay, Well, I mean maybe you could

528
00:27:52,575 --> 00:27:54,495
Speaker 3: tag that out and say that's a five hundred dollars

529
00:27:54,535 --> 00:27:56,575
Speaker 3: cost or something like that to do that extra.

530
00:27:56,655 --> 00:27:58,615
Speaker 10: But I just don't see where this coat comes from.

531
00:27:58,695 --> 00:28:01,815
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, it just doesn't make any sense. Can you

532
00:28:01,895 --> 00:28:04,015
Speaker 10: just can you just remind me what you said you

533
00:28:04,095 --> 00:28:07,255
Speaker 10: think the gathering should go? Well, no, I thirty three meters.

534
00:28:07,375 --> 00:28:09,895
Speaker 3: Well, I'm listening to z B during the day, and

535
00:28:09,935 --> 00:28:12,815
Speaker 3: I know that there's a company they're advertising and they're saying, hey,

536
00:28:12,815 --> 00:28:16,695
Speaker 3: look spouting starting from twenty nine dollars a meter. I

537
00:28:16,815 --> 00:28:18,735
Speaker 3: put in fifty dollars a meter, and I came up

538
00:28:18,775 --> 00:28:21,735
Speaker 3: with a sort of a sixty sixteen hundred dollars fee.

539
00:28:21,895 --> 00:28:26,015
Speaker 10: Right, So they're fifty dollars for meter that you're talking about, Pete.

540
00:28:26,055 --> 00:28:29,295
Speaker 10: That is basically to get the materials, get you know,

541
00:28:29,335 --> 00:28:31,455
Speaker 10: and the bits and in caps and screws and go

542
00:28:31,775 --> 00:28:34,055
Speaker 10: and blah blah blah. It's the fifty dollars a meter

543
00:28:34,175 --> 00:28:35,175
Speaker 10: and that's installed.

544
00:28:35,255 --> 00:28:35,695
Speaker 7: You reckon?

545
00:28:35,855 --> 00:28:39,615
Speaker 3: Yeah, typically yeah.

546
00:28:38,375 --> 00:28:38,615
Speaker 4: So.

547
00:28:40,175 --> 00:28:41,935
Speaker 3: Look the beauty of it is and this is the

548
00:28:41,935 --> 00:28:44,935
Speaker 3: beauty of capitalism. You get more than one quote, right,

549
00:28:45,055 --> 00:28:47,335
Speaker 3: And so you invited people.

550
00:28:47,375 --> 00:28:51,135
Speaker 10: People doing the rufic, so in for those heads snatings, Pete,

551
00:28:51,135 --> 00:28:51,815
Speaker 10: what do you reckon?

552
00:28:51,975 --> 00:28:52,215
Speaker 12: Oh?

553
00:28:52,895 --> 00:28:56,215
Speaker 3: Look, I again, you know, I don't know the circumstances,

554
00:28:56,255 --> 00:28:59,135
Speaker 3: don't know how complicated, but you know. I know, having

555
00:28:59,215 --> 00:29:01,575
Speaker 3: done especially on villas. I know having done a lot

556
00:29:01,575 --> 00:29:04,575
Speaker 3: of work on villas, they can be time consuming. So

557
00:29:04,655 --> 00:29:06,855
Speaker 3: if I if I was looking at it myself, i'd

558
00:29:06,895 --> 00:29:09,575
Speaker 3: allow myself an hour per window, right, so it'd be

559
00:29:09,575 --> 00:29:12,975
Speaker 3: a two day job. And then I so at sixty

560
00:29:12,975 --> 00:29:15,655
Speaker 3: bucks an hour, you can figure that out and then say, well, look,

561
00:29:15,695 --> 00:29:16,895
Speaker 3: I'm going to go and get a whole bunch of

562
00:29:16,975 --> 00:29:20,135
Speaker 3: flashings made up and we're going to put five hundred

563
00:29:20,135 --> 00:29:22,455
Speaker 3: dollar fee on that. That's roughly where you are. It'd

564
00:29:22,455 --> 00:29:24,375
Speaker 3: be interesting if someone does text and go I'm either

565
00:29:24,455 --> 00:29:28,055
Speaker 3: too high or too low, but look, great thing is

566
00:29:28,135 --> 00:29:30,815
Speaker 3: hopefully ask around, get a couple of extra quotes, and

567
00:29:30,855 --> 00:29:31,575
Speaker 3: then go from there.

568
00:29:32,015 --> 00:29:32,895
Speaker 4: Let us know how you get on.

569
00:29:33,415 --> 00:29:34,255
Speaker 10: Take care.

570
00:29:34,535 --> 00:29:35,015
Speaker 4: My pleasure.

571
00:29:35,215 --> 00:29:37,375
Speaker 3: Nice to talk to you, Bob, your news talks. It'd

572
00:29:37,415 --> 00:29:39,215
Speaker 3: be if you've got a question of a building nature

573
00:29:39,295 --> 00:29:43,775
Speaker 3: and it's it's broad right. It can be around product selection,

574
00:29:43,895 --> 00:29:46,095
Speaker 3: it can be around tool use. John, I'm more than

575
00:29:46,135 --> 00:29:49,335
Speaker 3: happy to talk about, you know, selecting the right tool

576
00:29:49,375 --> 00:29:52,815
Speaker 3: for the job. And yeah, I'm really keen to talk

577
00:29:52,855 --> 00:29:56,255
Speaker 3: about safety as well. I think these figures are a

578
00:29:56,295 --> 00:29:59,055
Speaker 3: little bit out of date, but I know from some reading.

579
00:29:59,055 --> 00:30:02,415
Speaker 3: I did maybe a year or two ago, ACC pay

580
00:30:02,415 --> 00:30:07,655
Speaker 3: out about seventy six million dollars and compensation or funding

581
00:30:08,455 --> 00:30:11,135
Speaker 3: for people that have injuries at home as a result

582
00:30:11,215 --> 00:30:16,415
Speaker 3: of falling from ladders. The total amount that they would

583
00:30:16,455 --> 00:30:20,015
Speaker 3: pay out on sort of home injuries, let's say, caused

584
00:30:20,015 --> 00:30:23,455
Speaker 3: by power tools actually on my list as well to

585
00:30:23,535 --> 00:30:26,255
Speaker 3: reach out and go. It'd be really fascinating to know

586
00:30:26,535 --> 00:30:31,775
Speaker 3: what that number would be. And I don't want to

587
00:30:31,775 --> 00:30:34,895
Speaker 3: make light of people having injuries, but I also don't

588
00:30:35,055 --> 00:30:39,015
Speaker 3: want people to feel that somehow the power tool is

589
00:30:39,055 --> 00:30:41,775
Speaker 3: responsible for the injury, not the operator. Most of the

590
00:30:41,775 --> 00:30:44,175
Speaker 3: time it's the operator. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten

591
00:30:44,215 --> 00:30:46,335
Speaker 3: eighty is the number to call. It is six forty

592
00:30:46,375 --> 00:30:50,335
Speaker 3: seven here at news Talk said quick text with regard

593
00:30:50,375 --> 00:30:53,655
Speaker 3: to the conversation with Dean was that including or excluding scaffolding.

594
00:30:53,975 --> 00:30:55,975
Speaker 3: That was the whole point of the part of the

595
00:30:56,095 --> 00:30:58,455
Speaker 3: story was that the scaffolding was already up because they

596
00:30:58,455 --> 00:31:00,975
Speaker 3: were doing roof for replacements. And I mean scaffolding's are

597
00:31:01,175 --> 00:31:04,855
Speaker 3: significant costs. So yeah, just purely for the materials in labor.

598
00:31:05,095 --> 00:31:08,335
Speaker 3: Hello and good morning, Oh, good morning.

599
00:31:08,815 --> 00:31:13,135
Speaker 13: I have a seventy year old house or remu I'm

600
00:31:13,175 --> 00:31:17,055
Speaker 13: getting two double doors put in. They are what you

601
00:31:17,255 --> 00:31:20,495
Speaker 13: have in front of the mosque, So each one is

602
00:31:20,535 --> 00:31:25,055
Speaker 13: four point five kg that carved so and they are

603
00:31:25,295 --> 00:31:28,735
Speaker 13: higher than the existing doorway. I'm replacing it, taking the

604
00:31:28,775 --> 00:31:32,455
Speaker 13: old doorway out and putting the ornamental things in as

605
00:31:32,655 --> 00:31:33,255
Speaker 13: an ornament.

606
00:31:33,375 --> 00:31:34,815
Speaker 6: But they will also be a door.

607
00:31:35,135 --> 00:31:35,535
Speaker 5: They will.

608
00:31:35,615 --> 00:31:37,775
Speaker 14: But when they join together.

609
00:31:38,735 --> 00:31:42,455
Speaker 13: There has so the top above the door has to.

610
00:31:42,415 --> 00:31:47,055
Speaker 9: Be heightened by about two fifty and they have to

611
00:31:47,055 --> 00:31:50,215
Speaker 9: be made wide. But there's room for that. What sort

612
00:31:50,255 --> 00:31:51,975
Speaker 9: of a cost should they be?

613
00:31:52,455 --> 00:31:56,415
Speaker 3: Look, I'm really reluctant to get into the whole. Can

614
00:31:56,455 --> 00:31:58,855
Speaker 3: you quote a job for me without seeing it? The

615
00:31:58,935 --> 00:32:00,655
Speaker 3: other thing that I would point out to you in

616
00:32:01,375 --> 00:32:06,415
Speaker 3: is that that what you're describing there, The fact that

617
00:32:06,455 --> 00:32:10,975
Speaker 3: you want to widen the opening also triggers a requirement

618
00:32:11,015 --> 00:32:12,335
Speaker 3: for a building consent.

619
00:32:13,775 --> 00:32:16,655
Speaker 5: In an internal door.

620
00:32:16,055 --> 00:32:23,175
Speaker 3: Internal door Okay, no, probably not, but if it's a

621
00:32:23,215 --> 00:32:27,095
Speaker 3: load bearing wall, then you will definitely need to have

622
00:32:28,055 --> 00:32:32,335
Speaker 3: some specific engineering or design done. So the lintel will

623
00:32:32,375 --> 00:32:35,655
Speaker 3: need to be sized to take the load above.

624
00:32:36,855 --> 00:32:38,815
Speaker 4: And look hanging old.

625
00:32:38,575 --> 00:32:43,775
Speaker 3: Doors that are slightly twisted and all the rest of it. Okay,

626
00:32:43,815 --> 00:32:45,495
Speaker 3: all right, either way, it's still.

627
00:32:45,335 --> 00:32:46,215
Speaker 4: Quite a lot of work.

628
00:32:46,415 --> 00:32:49,655
Speaker 3: So look, there is no point in me offering up

629
00:32:49,655 --> 00:32:51,855
Speaker 3: a price because I'm not doing the work right. So

630
00:32:51,895 --> 00:32:55,535
Speaker 3: the best bet is to find a contractor that's recommended

631
00:32:55,575 --> 00:32:57,975
Speaker 3: to you, someone who's got some skills.

632
00:32:58,415 --> 00:33:00,455
Speaker 7: I know, the builder is very good.

633
00:33:00,215 --> 00:33:04,775
Speaker 5: Okay, eighty bucks.

634
00:33:04,535 --> 00:33:07,375
Speaker 3: An now, yep, that's that's where Chippy's are sitting at

635
00:33:07,415 --> 00:33:10,775
Speaker 3: the moment. To be fair, labor rates are coming back,

636
00:33:10,855 --> 00:33:13,135
Speaker 3: but that will depend on where you are in the

637
00:33:13,175 --> 00:33:16,095
Speaker 3: country and what type of work. And you know, what

638
00:33:16,135 --> 00:33:19,855
Speaker 3: you're asking them to do is it's not outside of

639
00:33:19,895 --> 00:33:22,775
Speaker 3: what most people would be able to do every day,

640
00:33:22,895 --> 00:33:25,655
Speaker 3: but it will require a set of skills that's probably

641
00:33:25,815 --> 00:33:28,255
Speaker 3: to be fair beyond some people. So I think the

642
00:33:28,255 --> 00:33:30,215
Speaker 3: best bet is to get a you know what the

643
00:33:30,215 --> 00:33:32,055
Speaker 3: hourly rate is. They should be able to tell you.

644
00:33:32,375 --> 00:33:34,975
Speaker 3: I think it's going to take me two days, three days,

645
00:33:35,415 --> 00:33:37,495
Speaker 3: you know, something like that. Shouldn't really be much more

646
00:33:37,535 --> 00:33:39,735
Speaker 3: than that, and then if you're happy with the price,

647
00:33:39,855 --> 00:33:42,215
Speaker 3: go ahead, and if you're not, then find another price. So,

648
00:33:43,175 --> 00:33:46,335
Speaker 3: like I said, not really wanting to engage in lots

649
00:33:46,335 --> 00:33:48,655
Speaker 3: of discussion around how much do you think it should cost?

650
00:33:49,495 --> 00:33:51,935
Speaker 3: Just get an extra price. Good luck to you in Liz.

651
00:33:51,975 --> 00:33:54,935
Speaker 5: Hello there, Hello, how are you today?

652
00:33:55,015 --> 00:33:55,215
Speaker 9: Good?

653
00:33:55,215 --> 00:33:55,575
Speaker 4: Thank you?

654
00:33:56,735 --> 00:33:57,015
Speaker 15: It's it.

655
00:33:57,855 --> 00:34:03,495
Speaker 9: I decided to get a new garage door installed because

656
00:34:03,535 --> 00:34:06,415
Speaker 9: the other one was old and apparently the other and

657
00:34:06,495 --> 00:34:10,335
Speaker 9: has had trouble with the garage door on trying to

658
00:34:10,455 --> 00:34:14,735
Speaker 9: open it with a remote. Yes, anyway, installed this lovely

659
00:34:14,855 --> 00:34:18,375
Speaker 9: new garage door, and the garage door just seems to

660
00:34:18,615 --> 00:34:22,015
Speaker 9: like to open whenever it feels like right.

661
00:34:22,975 --> 00:34:25,815
Speaker 3: Look, if it's a new door, then there will be

662
00:34:25,975 --> 00:34:29,655
Speaker 3: warranties and guarantees around the door. So it's just a

663
00:34:29,695 --> 00:34:32,455
Speaker 3: case of going back to the supplier or to the

664
00:34:32,455 --> 00:34:37,775
Speaker 3: installer and explaining that to them it just simply shouldn't happen.

665
00:34:37,815 --> 00:34:44,855
Speaker 9: So it's some installed for new motors already. Then I

666
00:34:44,935 --> 00:34:49,135
Speaker 9: had to get a Sparky in to check, putting a

667
00:34:49,215 --> 00:34:54,255
Speaker 9: new plug up the top yep and then the Sparky

668
00:34:54,375 --> 00:34:56,975
Speaker 9: in check, which was fantastic or my worrying to see

669
00:34:56,975 --> 00:34:59,135
Speaker 9: what there was no faults in my warrant and it's

670
00:34:59,135 --> 00:34:59,855
Speaker 9: still opening.

671
00:35:01,255 --> 00:35:04,415
Speaker 3: I tell you what, I wonder whether it's worth getting

672
00:35:04,655 --> 00:35:07,055
Speaker 3: next time someone comes out to check it, getting a

673
00:35:07,095 --> 00:35:11,735
Speaker 3: new remote and programming it again because it is quite

674
00:35:11,855 --> 00:35:16,415
Speaker 3: possible that someone nearby has a very similar remote and

675
00:35:16,455 --> 00:35:19,615
Speaker 3: when they open their door, your door opens as well.

676
00:35:19,815 --> 00:35:22,535
Speaker 3: That you'd want to that that can happen, right.

677
00:35:23,575 --> 00:35:30,375
Speaker 9: We've gone through that Scenarioka and his program Offsite offside.

678
00:35:31,575 --> 00:35:36,335
Speaker 3: Wow and its look ultimately, you know you, I know

679
00:35:36,455 --> 00:35:40,655
Speaker 3: it's it can become disheartening to constantly be ringing the contractor,

680
00:35:40,695 --> 00:35:43,975
Speaker 3: but that's not how doors a garage doors are supposed

681
00:35:44,015 --> 00:35:47,015
Speaker 3: to work. So it's completely the responsibility of the contractor

682
00:35:47,495 --> 00:35:50,095
Speaker 3: to keep fixing it at no cost to you.

683
00:35:51,775 --> 00:35:54,415
Speaker 9: Yes, well, well I have to pay for the sparky.

684
00:35:54,615 --> 00:35:57,295
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's okay, that's an upgrade. But in terms

685
00:35:57,335 --> 00:35:59,935
Speaker 3: of actually getting the door to stay closed until you

686
00:35:59,975 --> 00:36:03,015
Speaker 3: want it to open, is what they need to do

687
00:36:03,215 --> 00:36:03,655
Speaker 3: for you.

688
00:36:04,535 --> 00:36:05,135
Speaker 15: And and.

689
00:36:06,615 --> 00:36:08,575
Speaker 4: I can imagine the frustration.

690
00:36:08,455 --> 00:36:15,815
Speaker 9: But you've just got the insecurity of having a door.

691
00:36:15,895 --> 00:36:18,095
Speaker 9: Like I was watching the Olympics the other n I

692
00:36:18,135 --> 00:36:20,895
Speaker 9: went to bed at one thot and the garage door

693
00:36:20,935 --> 00:36:21,495
Speaker 9: wide open.

694
00:36:26,695 --> 00:36:29,575
Speaker 3: I don't know enough about them to make a comment

695
00:36:29,615 --> 00:36:34,055
Speaker 3: around that, but you know, please persist with phoning them,

696
00:36:34,535 --> 00:36:38,255
Speaker 3: and you know, if you're not getting the right reply,

697
00:36:39,135 --> 00:36:42,975
Speaker 3: then you can seek redress through like the commuce commissioners

698
00:36:43,095 --> 00:36:45,735
Speaker 3: or just remind them of their responsibilities under the Consumer

699
00:36:45,815 --> 00:36:48,655
Speaker 3: Guarantees Act. That tends to get people operating a little

700
00:36:48,695 --> 00:36:49,055
Speaker 3: bit better.

701
00:36:49,615 --> 00:36:51,095
Speaker 4: So good luck with that.

702
00:36:53,015 --> 00:36:57,735
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not easy, all right, you take care? See then, crikey.

703
00:36:58,855 --> 00:37:00,935
Speaker 3: That would be quite disconcerting, wouldn't it if you wake

704
00:37:01,015 --> 00:37:02,855
Speaker 3: up in the morning and find that garage doors open

705
00:37:02,975 --> 00:37:04,255
Speaker 3: and it's just opened randomly.

706
00:37:05,615 --> 00:37:05,735
Speaker 15: Oh?

707
00:37:05,815 --> 00:37:06,775
Speaker 4: I like this song.

708
00:37:11,975 --> 00:37:14,295
Speaker 3: You and New Stalks at b We're into the second

709
00:37:14,295 --> 00:37:15,655
Speaker 3: hour of the show. Welcome back.

710
00:37:15,695 --> 00:37:17,975
Speaker 4: Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the.

711
00:37:17,895 --> 00:37:20,135
Speaker 3: Number to call if you've got a building question or

712
00:37:20,135 --> 00:37:24,215
Speaker 3: a building related question. And we did, interestingly have a

713
00:37:24,255 --> 00:37:27,455
Speaker 3: bit of a conversation around safety, and I guess it's

714
00:37:27,495 --> 00:37:33,215
Speaker 3: around sort of responsibility that I'm very aware that many

715
00:37:33,255 --> 00:37:36,175
Speaker 3: of us will do work at home, and while we're

716
00:37:36,175 --> 00:37:38,175
Speaker 3: doing it, we'll have tools, and some of them will

717
00:37:38,175 --> 00:37:40,975
Speaker 3: be power tools, some will be hand tools. Generally, most

718
00:37:41,015 --> 00:37:43,775
Speaker 3: tools are sharp, and most tools can hurt you. If

719
00:37:43,815 --> 00:37:46,575
Speaker 3: you've ever hit your thumb with a hammer, it hurts.

720
00:37:47,375 --> 00:37:49,695
Speaker 3: If you've ever cut yourself with a saw, it hurts.

721
00:37:50,415 --> 00:37:53,415
Speaker 3: If you've ever slipped off a ladder, it hurts. So

722
00:37:54,015 --> 00:37:56,695
Speaker 3: a little bit of discussion around safety and machinery was good,

723
00:37:57,135 --> 00:37:59,535
Speaker 3: and just before the break we were talking with Liz

724
00:37:59,575 --> 00:38:03,495
Speaker 3: who mentioned a garage door, a replacement garage door that

725
00:38:04,055 --> 00:38:09,855
Speaker 3: seems to have a mind of its own and what

726
00:38:10,215 --> 00:38:12,775
Speaker 3: might be causing that, And ultimately it does come down

727
00:38:12,775 --> 00:38:16,615
Speaker 3: to the contractor being coming back and sorting out a

728
00:38:16,655 --> 00:38:18,695
Speaker 3: couple of texts on that we turn our door off

729
00:38:18,735 --> 00:38:21,055
Speaker 3: at night with a long pole for that reason security.

730
00:38:21,095 --> 00:38:23,175
Speaker 3: It seems to be how the door relates to the ground.

731
00:38:23,175 --> 00:38:26,495
Speaker 3: If it runs a bit on it can decide to

732
00:38:26,495 --> 00:38:28,575
Speaker 3: go back up. Yeah, but I know that that's what

733
00:38:28,695 --> 00:38:30,735
Speaker 3: happens when you're tuning the door, right, So if it

734
00:38:30,775 --> 00:38:33,455
Speaker 3: comes down, it sort of does a bounce thing and

735
00:38:33,495 --> 00:38:36,895
Speaker 3: you have to reset the travel on the door to

736
00:38:37,095 --> 00:38:39,895
Speaker 3: ensure that it doesn't think that it's hit something and

737
00:38:39,975 --> 00:38:44,415
Speaker 3: comes back up. But typically that happens when you're either

738
00:38:45,015 --> 00:38:47,895
Speaker 3: when you're closing the door, it bounces back up. But

739
00:38:48,215 --> 00:38:50,775
Speaker 3: for it to randomly open at one o'clock in the morning,

740
00:38:51,895 --> 00:39:01,055
Speaker 3: that's a slightly different question regarding yeah, someone else has

741
00:39:01,095 --> 00:39:04,415
Speaker 3: ticked through, just with regard to doors being inadvertently opened

742
00:39:04,695 --> 00:39:06,375
Speaker 3: by other remote.

743
00:39:06,055 --> 00:39:08,135
Speaker 4: Controlls in the area. So you have to look at that.

744
00:39:08,535 --> 00:39:12,215
Speaker 3: We'll take some calls on all things building and building

745
00:39:12,295 --> 00:39:15,175
Speaker 3: related here at Newstalk z B. It is coming up

746
00:39:15,175 --> 00:39:17,855
Speaker 3: to ten minutes eight minutes after seven.

747
00:39:18,135 --> 00:39:20,695
Speaker 4: A very good morning, Oh good morning.

748
00:39:22,015 --> 00:39:25,495
Speaker 16: I just heard the lady for the news, and my

749
00:39:25,735 --> 00:39:28,815
Speaker 16: comments mirror the ones you've just read out from text.

750
00:39:28,855 --> 00:39:31,535
Speaker 16: Which was my first reaction was we'll turn the thing

751
00:39:31,535 --> 00:39:35,775
Speaker 16: off at the PowerPoint at night time, which we do.

752
00:39:35,895 --> 00:39:37,375
Speaker 16: If you know we're going to be away for a

753
00:39:37,415 --> 00:39:40,175
Speaker 16: period of prime on holiday, you just turn the switch

754
00:39:40,215 --> 00:39:44,455
Speaker 16: so that they can't it can't go up to it.

755
00:39:45,935 --> 00:39:48,335
Speaker 16: So it won't solve a problem, but in the meantime

756
00:39:48,335 --> 00:39:50,735
Speaker 16: for it to feel secure. If she has a post

757
00:39:50,815 --> 00:39:53,655
Speaker 16: or broomstick or something and just switch pushes the switch

758
00:39:53,695 --> 00:39:56,415
Speaker 16: off at least when she's finished for the day, she

759
00:39:56,575 --> 00:39:59,855
Speaker 16: knows it won't open. Yes, she turns it back on

760
00:39:59,935 --> 00:40:05,015
Speaker 16: again the same. We do the same the door. If

761
00:40:05,055 --> 00:40:07,575
Speaker 16: the wind comes from a certain direction that makes the

762
00:40:07,615 --> 00:40:11,295
Speaker 16: door rattle. So if that case, I go out and

763
00:40:11,415 --> 00:40:14,735
Speaker 16: lift up the wire as there's an older door, but

764
00:40:15,095 --> 00:40:16,775
Speaker 16: the wire thing and hook it up over it.

765
00:40:16,855 --> 00:40:18,495
Speaker 6: Oh, you hook it off the hook.

766
00:40:18,655 --> 00:40:21,655
Speaker 16: Unhook it off the hook, so the locks actually lock

767
00:40:21,855 --> 00:40:24,295
Speaker 16: on either side of it at the bottom so that

768
00:40:24,295 --> 00:40:26,335
Speaker 16: that stops the wind from rattling. And then when the

769
00:40:26,375 --> 00:40:29,215
Speaker 16: storm's over, I go back and I put the wire

770
00:40:29,295 --> 00:40:33,735
Speaker 16: back over the hook and it's back into automatic mode.

771
00:40:34,535 --> 00:40:38,015
Speaker 16: So's it's just, yeah, it won't solve her problem, but

772
00:40:38,055 --> 00:40:40,975
Speaker 16: it might help her peace of mind if you well until.

773
00:40:40,655 --> 00:40:43,175
Speaker 3: The problem was solved. That's probably not a bad step

774
00:40:43,215 --> 00:40:44,975
Speaker 3: to take. It if you worried that you're going to

775
00:40:45,015 --> 00:40:47,055
Speaker 3: wake up in the morning and find the garage door open,

776
00:40:47,455 --> 00:40:49,775
Speaker 3: then at nighttime when you close it, turn the switch

777
00:40:49,815 --> 00:40:51,055
Speaker 3: off and it'll stay closed.

778
00:40:51,415 --> 00:40:55,615
Speaker 16: And there is that tiny uncertainty with those doors. I

779
00:40:55,775 --> 00:40:58,255
Speaker 16: was driving home at two thirty one night past the

780
00:40:58,335 --> 00:41:01,895
Speaker 16: neighbor's place and saw their door wide open and thought,

781
00:41:02,175 --> 00:41:05,335
Speaker 16: oh no, it's got all sorts of stuff in there,

782
00:41:05,375 --> 00:41:08,695
Speaker 16: and cleansing his hunting rifles. I'll go and wake him

783
00:41:08,775 --> 00:41:11,495
Speaker 16: up at two thirty in the morning, hopefully he won't mind.

784
00:41:12,015 --> 00:41:13,855
Speaker 16: And he said, oh shit, thank.

785
00:41:13,695 --> 00:41:14,335
Speaker 7: You so much.

786
00:41:14,935 --> 00:41:17,655
Speaker 16: Yes, it's got my hunting rifles in there, I think.

787
00:41:18,095 --> 00:41:20,055
Speaker 3: Hopefully be in a safe and all the rest of it.

788
00:41:20,095 --> 00:41:23,415
Speaker 16: But yeah, they were all his antlers and his head,

789
00:41:23,495 --> 00:41:26,855
Speaker 16: oh crack, all his meat in the freezer and things

790
00:41:26,895 --> 00:41:28,735
Speaker 16: like that, and I'm going, well, I think you'll prefer

791
00:41:28,815 --> 00:41:31,335
Speaker 16: me waking you up and then finding out in the

792
00:41:31,415 --> 00:41:37,095
Speaker 16: morning that's coming. Yeah, but he thought he'd shut it

793
00:41:37,175 --> 00:41:39,535
Speaker 16: from the house, that he pressed the button as he

794
00:41:39,575 --> 00:41:41,975
Speaker 16: went into the house and didn't look back. Yeah, and

795
00:41:42,015 --> 00:41:43,135
Speaker 16: of course it hadn't shut.

796
00:41:43,455 --> 00:41:44,535
Speaker 14: Brilliant in that case.

797
00:41:44,615 --> 00:41:46,015
Speaker 16: So you've got to you've got to check.

798
00:41:46,255 --> 00:41:49,575
Speaker 3: Appreciate the call, lovely to chat all the best, Thank

799
00:41:49,615 --> 00:41:52,495
Speaker 3: you very much. Quick text on the lady with the

800
00:41:52,495 --> 00:41:54,855
Speaker 3: garage door issue. Take the batteries out of all of

801
00:41:54,895 --> 00:41:57,255
Speaker 3: the remotes and see if that stops it happening. Then

802
00:41:57,295 --> 00:41:59,535
Speaker 3: it may show that if it's in the motor brain

803
00:41:59,775 --> 00:42:03,295
Speaker 3: or in the remote controls. Very good suggestion, Roger, Good

804
00:42:03,295 --> 00:42:03,975
Speaker 3: morning to you.

805
00:42:04,695 --> 00:42:06,255
Speaker 15: How are you, Peter. I haven't talked to you for

806
00:42:06,375 --> 00:42:06,815
Speaker 15: a while.

807
00:42:07,055 --> 00:42:08,535
Speaker 4: Nice to hear from you. You will.

808
00:42:08,615 --> 00:42:15,295
Speaker 15: Yeah. About machinery and it's safety and I work for

809
00:42:15,415 --> 00:42:19,255
Speaker 15: Ray Golfinch for eight years working on machinery all day

810
00:42:19,295 --> 00:42:23,615
Speaker 15: and every day, yep, And there was no There was

811
00:42:23,655 --> 00:42:26,735
Speaker 15: no safety cover for the switches. There was no The

812
00:42:26,775 --> 00:42:28,815
Speaker 15: on off switch was simple and it was easy to

813
00:42:28,815 --> 00:42:31,335
Speaker 15: get at if you needed to turn it off anytime.

814
00:42:32,135 --> 00:42:35,775
Speaker 15: So therefore, really the guy is talking rubbish, and nobody

815
00:42:35,815 --> 00:42:40,775
Speaker 15: would sell you a machine with a flap over the

816
00:42:40,815 --> 00:42:44,095
Speaker 15: switch that stops you from turning it off as well

817
00:42:44,095 --> 00:42:44,335
Speaker 15: as on.

818
00:42:46,575 --> 00:42:51,255
Speaker 3: H Actually, I'm thinking like I got no, I've got

819
00:42:51,255 --> 00:42:53,895
Speaker 3: that arrangement on a dust extractor that I have in

820
00:42:53,935 --> 00:42:58,295
Speaker 3: my workshop in the garage, right. So there is a

821
00:42:58,615 --> 00:43:02,575
Speaker 3: flap that you have to release and lift up in

822
00:43:02,695 --> 00:43:07,455
Speaker 3: order to turn the dust extractor on. And then when

823
00:43:07,535 --> 00:43:10,335
Speaker 3: you put the flat back down, it has a red

824
00:43:10,335 --> 00:43:12,695
Speaker 3: button on the top, which means that if you need

825
00:43:12,735 --> 00:43:14,935
Speaker 3: to turn it off quickly, you can just hit that

826
00:43:15,095 --> 00:43:18,655
Speaker 3: so you can turn it off without doing any intervention.

827
00:43:18,775 --> 00:43:21,135
Speaker 3: But you can only turn it on with a two

828
00:43:21,175 --> 00:43:24,975
Speaker 3: step process, which is modern.

829
00:43:25,135 --> 00:43:26,095
Speaker 15: That's a bit that's modern.

830
00:43:26,415 --> 00:43:31,095
Speaker 3: Pretty good situation. The table saw that I currently have

831
00:43:32,295 --> 00:43:36,415
Speaker 3: has essentially a toggle, so to turn it on you

832
00:43:36,535 --> 00:43:38,975
Speaker 3: have to lift it up, as in just you know,

833
00:43:39,535 --> 00:43:41,695
Speaker 3: leave it up right. It's it's not a it's just

834
00:43:41,735 --> 00:43:43,975
Speaker 3: a one step thing. You just put your fingers undereath it,

835
00:43:44,015 --> 00:43:45,975
Speaker 3: flick it up. But it also means that if you

836
00:43:46,015 --> 00:43:48,575
Speaker 3: need to turn it off quickly, it's simply a downward

837
00:43:48,695 --> 00:43:50,255
Speaker 3: motion and it's off what.

838
00:43:50,175 --> 00:43:54,295
Speaker 15: I'm trying to say. That's what I'm trying to say. Yeah,

839
00:43:54,695 --> 00:43:58,575
Speaker 15: his his if he's buying machinery for a workshop at

840
00:43:58,575 --> 00:44:01,655
Speaker 15: home where the kids are around, he should take the

841
00:44:01,695 --> 00:44:04,495
Speaker 15: pair supply away from each of the machines when he's

842
00:44:04,535 --> 00:44:05,215
Speaker 15: not using it.

843
00:44:05,575 --> 00:44:08,655
Speaker 4: And that it's a really simple safety precaution right.

844
00:44:08,935 --> 00:44:10,335
Speaker 15: Well in it's common sense.

845
00:44:10,455 --> 00:44:12,655
Speaker 3: And look, you know, over the years, I'm sure most

846
00:44:12,735 --> 00:44:16,575
Speaker 3: of us have used power tools inside the house, possibly

847
00:44:16,655 --> 00:44:18,895
Speaker 3: when other people are around, and that sort of thing.

848
00:44:18,975 --> 00:44:22,015
Speaker 3: So you're right if you're not standing by, you know,

849
00:44:22,095 --> 00:44:24,495
Speaker 3: like a circular saw for example, back in the day

850
00:44:24,495 --> 00:44:29,015
Speaker 3: that we had, you know, used more corded tools than

851
00:44:29,055 --> 00:44:30,415
Speaker 3: cordless ones for example.

852
00:44:31,895 --> 00:44:33,695
Speaker 15: Of course that's negated there isn't it.

853
00:44:33,655 --> 00:44:34,415
Speaker 4: Right, Well, it has.

854
00:44:34,495 --> 00:44:39,255
Speaker 3: But interestingly enough, like all of the cutting tools that

855
00:44:39,375 --> 00:44:43,095
Speaker 3: I have, I would you know, in terms of circular saw,

856
00:44:43,175 --> 00:44:47,255
Speaker 3: recep saw, jigsaw and those sorts of things all have

857
00:44:47,855 --> 00:44:50,735
Speaker 3: it's not just to pull the trigger, right, they all

858
00:44:50,815 --> 00:44:54,975
Speaker 3: have an additional either a toggle or a lever or

859
00:44:54,975 --> 00:44:57,095
Speaker 3: something like that that you have to depress before you

860
00:44:57,095 --> 00:44:57,895
Speaker 3: can pull the trigger.

861
00:44:58,295 --> 00:45:02,455
Speaker 15: So the circular not to mention all those modern tools,

862
00:45:02,495 --> 00:45:05,095
Speaker 15: now you pull the batrio and that stops everything doesn't.

863
00:45:05,335 --> 00:45:07,615
Speaker 3: And that's absolutely true as well. But you know, so

864
00:45:07,775 --> 00:45:10,895
Speaker 3: there is more inbuilt safety, but which I think is

865
00:45:10,935 --> 00:45:13,295
Speaker 3: good because it does mean that, you know, for something

866
00:45:13,335 --> 00:45:17,295
Speaker 3: like a circular sort, for example, if that's left unattended

867
00:45:17,295 --> 00:45:19,535
Speaker 3: for a moment and somebody does wander and think, oh,

868
00:45:19,575 --> 00:45:23,175
Speaker 3: I wonder what happens when I grab the trigger, that's

869
00:45:23,375 --> 00:45:26,975
Speaker 3: it prevents someone from doing that. But ultimately, my attitude

870
00:45:27,015 --> 00:45:29,695
Speaker 3: has always been, you know, if it's my gear, then

871
00:45:29,815 --> 00:45:33,815
Speaker 3: I'm responsible for the environment and I'll make sure that

872
00:45:33,855 --> 00:45:37,535
Speaker 3: it doesn't stay on or that I'm supervising it correctly.

873
00:45:38,295 --> 00:45:41,895
Speaker 15: Yeah. I had machinery around the place all my fifty

874
00:45:41,975 --> 00:45:44,855
Speaker 15: years of building and never never had any problem. Still

875
00:45:44,855 --> 00:45:48,015
Speaker 15: got all my own fingers, and I did a lot

876
00:45:48,055 --> 00:45:50,655
Speaker 15: of work for Gregolf, a lot of machinery work for

877
00:45:50,695 --> 00:45:53,535
Speaker 15: Rey golfinch right, a lot of it, to be fair.

878
00:45:53,775 --> 00:45:58,055
Speaker 3: I do know that name, yeah.

879
00:45:57,135 --> 00:46:00,895
Speaker 15: Grason Avenue, Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's got two

880
00:46:00,895 --> 00:46:02,335
Speaker 15: boys that would be your age.

881
00:46:03,175 --> 00:46:05,535
Speaker 3: He might be right because my dad's factory was down

882
00:46:05,575 --> 00:46:10,495
Speaker 3: there as well. Yeah, Grace Avenue. I drove by there

883
00:46:10,535 --> 00:46:14,095
Speaker 3: the other day. Actually it's changed a bit, but well,

884
00:46:14,135 --> 00:46:16,255
Speaker 3: In fact, when when Dad had the factory there, Grace

885
00:46:16,335 --> 00:46:18,415
Speaker 3: Nevenue didn't go all the way through, It stopped at

886
00:46:18,455 --> 00:46:20,975
Speaker 3: a kind of where duff at Doors was and that

887
00:46:21,055 --> 00:46:21,495
Speaker 3: sort of thing.

888
00:46:21,655 --> 00:46:24,815
Speaker 15: And that's where you their concrete outfit too.

889
00:46:25,055 --> 00:46:28,495
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right at the end, brilliant. Hey, lovely to

890
00:46:28,495 --> 00:46:30,535
Speaker 3: talk to you, Roger, better move On's nice to talk

891
00:46:30,535 --> 00:46:33,895
Speaker 3: to you by by then. So the reason that we

892
00:46:33,895 --> 00:46:36,415
Speaker 3: were a couple of old codges reminiscing is that my dad,

893
00:46:36,455 --> 00:46:39,095
Speaker 3: when he was in business, had a factory. We made metal.

894
00:46:39,295 --> 00:46:44,135
Speaker 3: Dad made metal furniture and anchors in a small factory

895
00:46:44,175 --> 00:46:48,415
Speaker 3: that he established in Grace Avenue, and Worry Papa Toy

896
00:46:49,335 --> 00:46:53,135
Speaker 3: and obviously Roger Goldfinchers were down there as well. Duffer

897
00:46:53,335 --> 00:46:56,895
Speaker 3: he was actually was a polystyrene manufacturing factory across the

898
00:46:57,015 --> 00:46:59,815
Speaker 3: road that burnt down one night. That was kind of

899
00:46:59,855 --> 00:47:03,055
Speaker 3: scary but kind of exciting as well. And a couple

900
00:47:03,055 --> 00:47:05,535
Speaker 3: of other businesses that I still remember from back in

901
00:47:05,535 --> 00:47:08,335
Speaker 3: the day. One hundred and eighty eighty is that number

902
00:47:08,375 --> 00:47:10,575
Speaker 3: to call Grant A very good morning to you, sir.

903
00:47:11,415 --> 00:47:14,815
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hyde, just some ideas with the door, sure, okay,

904
00:47:14,855 --> 00:47:18,455
Speaker 5: so the old doors have the old star remotes just

905
00:47:18,495 --> 00:47:20,895
Speaker 5: with you a little battery in it, but they are

906
00:47:20,975 --> 00:47:25,535
Speaker 5: they are prone to being opened by people that might

907
00:47:25,575 --> 00:47:30,575
Speaker 5: have scanners unfortunately or something else. Some of the new

908
00:47:31,175 --> 00:47:37,415
Speaker 5: doors have Wi Fi opening. Ah, so that's quite good.

909
00:47:37,655 --> 00:47:38,855
Speaker 5: That's much much better.

910
00:47:40,255 --> 00:47:42,215
Speaker 3: This is a new door, by the way, so it's

911
00:47:42,255 --> 00:47:45,375
Speaker 3: a replacement door that's been installed and now they've got

912
00:47:45,455 --> 00:47:48,055
Speaker 3: this issue where it's intermittent.

913
00:47:49,415 --> 00:47:52,335
Speaker 5: So here's a remedy for those people that have the

914
00:47:52,335 --> 00:47:55,815
Speaker 5: old remote but might be having this problem of the

915
00:47:55,855 --> 00:47:59,055
Speaker 5: door it's on the opening or finding it open. It

916
00:47:59,095 --> 00:48:01,415
Speaker 5: may have been just you know, like for instance, there's

917
00:48:02,255 --> 00:48:07,055
Speaker 5: it was a scenario of certain vehicles run at certain

918
00:48:07,095 --> 00:48:10,415
Speaker 5: frequencies going past the street and doors kind of opening.

919
00:48:11,015 --> 00:48:14,735
Speaker 5: You might have heard about that before. Well, anyway, we'll

920
00:48:15,095 --> 00:48:18,335
Speaker 5: forget about that. But for that lady, she's just got

921
00:48:18,375 --> 00:48:23,375
Speaker 5: a old style remote. But if she, if she has

922
00:48:23,415 --> 00:48:29,855
Speaker 5: a smartphone and maybe WiFi, has put a little Wi

923
00:48:29,895 --> 00:48:35,455
Speaker 5: Fi plug between on on that circuit that she can

924
00:48:35,535 --> 00:48:40,695
Speaker 5: turn on as she drives up. She can pack up

925
00:48:40,935 --> 00:48:44,455
Speaker 5: for thirty seconds, use a smartphone to use it to

926
00:48:44,495 --> 00:48:48,055
Speaker 5: turn the Wi Fi plug on which powers the powers

927
00:48:48,095 --> 00:48:51,455
Speaker 5: the door, and then she can use her remote and

928
00:48:51,495 --> 00:48:56,215
Speaker 5: then and then when she's left left the building, she

929
00:48:56,215 --> 00:48:58,295
Speaker 5: can turn the Wi Fi plug off and she knows

930
00:48:58,335 --> 00:49:04,655
Speaker 5: that the the door is who's not being powered she's away. Okay,

931
00:49:05,095 --> 00:49:08,255
Speaker 5: Wi Fi plug, you'd flail all for about twenty bucks

932
00:49:08,655 --> 00:49:12,535
Speaker 5: and then just and then just program it with your

933
00:49:13,655 --> 00:49:17,735
Speaker 5: your Wi Fi Internet and your your that goes with

934
00:49:17,775 --> 00:49:18,615
Speaker 5: the Wi Fi plug.

935
00:49:19,615 --> 00:49:22,015
Speaker 3: Would that mean that it would override the remote?

936
00:49:22,055 --> 00:49:22,135
Speaker 1: Like?

937
00:49:22,215 --> 00:49:24,375
Speaker 3: Could she have both systems operating?

938
00:49:25,215 --> 00:49:28,495
Speaker 5: The Wi Fi plug is? All it's doing is turning

939
00:49:28,495 --> 00:49:32,375
Speaker 5: on the power to the door, right, So the first

940
00:49:32,415 --> 00:49:34,815
Speaker 5: thing you do is you just drive up to the door,

941
00:49:35,415 --> 00:49:38,615
Speaker 5: go to your smartphone and the Wi Fi plug on

942
00:49:39,575 --> 00:49:43,015
Speaker 5: the door, then hit the remote and up comes the door.

943
00:49:42,975 --> 00:49:45,215
Speaker 3: And you can do that Wi Fi plug just in

944
00:49:45,255 --> 00:49:48,335
Speaker 3: that individual plug. It's not like a smart wiring with

945
00:49:48,495 --> 00:49:49,215
Speaker 3: throughout the house.

946
00:49:49,615 --> 00:49:53,735
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, there's quite a few. There's for instance, just

947
00:49:55,455 --> 00:50:00,975
Speaker 5: for when I know quite close by that that that

948
00:50:01,095 --> 00:50:06,855
Speaker 5: door is, how just off a conventional plug that's in

949
00:50:06,895 --> 00:50:10,695
Speaker 5: the garage way and you just put it, plug it in,

950
00:50:11,015 --> 00:50:14,935
Speaker 5: plug it into the wall socket and then plug the

951
00:50:14,975 --> 00:50:19,175
Speaker 5: cord from the from the door into the brilliant into

952
00:50:19,175 --> 00:50:20,015
Speaker 5: the Wi Fi plug.

953
00:50:20,135 --> 00:50:21,295
Speaker 4: Well, I appreciate that ground.

954
00:50:21,495 --> 00:50:23,935
Speaker 3: That's awesome, much appreciate it. You have a great day

955
00:50:24,175 --> 00:50:27,495
Speaker 3: actually talking about power this week, there's a place that

956
00:50:27,535 --> 00:50:30,615
Speaker 3: I look after, and there was there's been some infrastructure

957
00:50:30,655 --> 00:50:35,255
Speaker 3: upgrade work happening in the street, including a notice that hey, look,

958
00:50:35,255 --> 00:50:37,775
Speaker 3: the power is going to be off while we underground

959
00:50:38,535 --> 00:50:41,375
Speaker 3: power to a certain number of houses, including the one

960
00:50:41,375 --> 00:50:45,495
Speaker 3: that I look after, and so there's been correspondent. So

961
00:50:45,455 --> 00:50:47,415
Speaker 3: over the last couple of weeks there's been activity in

962
00:50:47,455 --> 00:50:50,495
Speaker 3: the street. There's been excavations and there's been you know,

963
00:50:50,655 --> 00:50:54,295
Speaker 3: patching of pavement and excavation of pavement and installation of pits.

964
00:50:54,655 --> 00:50:58,455
Speaker 3: And then was it Tuesday they came along and livened

965
00:50:58,535 --> 00:51:01,415
Speaker 3: up the new underground supply to the house, which also

966
00:51:01,575 --> 00:51:07,335
Speaker 3: means new cable into the meter board outside. Then electrical

967
00:51:07,335 --> 00:51:11,415
Speaker 3: inspectors have to come through and test the connection so

968
00:51:11,575 --> 00:51:16,255
Speaker 3: independently of the contractor and then confirm that that's safe

969
00:51:16,295 --> 00:51:18,055
Speaker 3: and then the power could go back on and the

970
00:51:18,095 --> 00:51:22,815
Speaker 3: guys are up, you know, unclipping overheadlines and all phenomenal

971
00:51:22,855 --> 00:51:25,495
Speaker 3: to watch. It's quite more actually, and they did an

972
00:51:25,495 --> 00:51:28,215
Speaker 3: awesome job, which is great. Oh eight hundred eighty ten

Speaker 4: Don't worry.

980
00:51:47,815 --> 00:51:51,055
Speaker 3: I'm not as incompetent with tools in the house. I

981
00:51:51,175 --> 00:51:53,535
Speaker 3: eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

982
00:51:53,655 --> 00:51:55,015
Speaker 3: Matt A very good morning.

983
00:51:55,975 --> 00:51:57,535
Speaker 4: Oh, good morning morning mate?

984
00:51:57,655 --> 00:52:01,375
Speaker 11: You do yeah, yeah, very good, look like chext through

985
00:52:02,095 --> 00:52:07,255
Speaker 11: saying can we hear the talk about tools as some advice.

986
00:52:07,655 --> 00:52:10,335
Speaker 11: I've just borrowing a table sawer from my father in law,

987
00:52:11,215 --> 00:52:13,975
Speaker 11: an older one, and I'm quite keen to buy one,

988
00:52:14,015 --> 00:52:15,855
Speaker 11: but he's such a variety out there.

989
00:52:16,255 --> 00:52:19,335
Speaker 14: Yes, and I'm not very good at.

990
00:52:19,175 --> 00:52:22,015
Speaker 11: Buying just rubbish tools. I'm a bit of a kida person.

991
00:52:22,215 --> 00:52:27,175
Speaker 11: I've got some old Tashi Jop saws and I'd like

992
00:52:27,215 --> 00:52:29,655
Speaker 11: to stay within one of those brands. But I mean,

993
00:52:29,655 --> 00:52:33,695
Speaker 11: there's so much variety in the cost. You know, just

994
00:52:33,695 --> 00:52:35,935
Speaker 11: a bit of advice about you know what you should

995
00:52:35,935 --> 00:52:36,375
Speaker 11: be looking at?

996
00:52:36,415 --> 00:52:39,855
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, and look.

997
00:52:39,695 --> 00:52:44,215
Speaker 3: It is a it's a tricky one in that You're right,

998
00:52:44,295 --> 00:52:47,615
Speaker 3: there is a lot of variety and there's a there's

999
00:52:47,735 --> 00:52:51,535
Speaker 3: variety in terms of quality, and it's it's it's often

1000
00:52:51,735 --> 00:52:55,495
Speaker 3: about like we know that there are like you can

1001
00:52:55,535 --> 00:52:57,655
Speaker 3: buy a cordless drell for one hundred and twenty bucks, right,

1002
00:52:58,095 --> 00:53:00,335
Speaker 3: and you can buy a cordless drill for five hundred

1003
00:53:00,335 --> 00:53:06,095
Speaker 3: bucks and both of them ultimately drill holes. Right, But

1004
00:53:07,415 --> 00:53:10,135
Speaker 3: the difference is often around run time.

1005
00:53:10,375 --> 00:53:10,615
Speaker 4: Right.

1006
00:53:10,935 --> 00:53:14,455
Speaker 3: It's about you as a user, how much time are

1007
00:53:14,495 --> 00:53:16,735
Speaker 3: you going to be using it and sort of what

1008
00:53:16,815 --> 00:53:20,215
Speaker 3: performance do you need from it. If you're working around

1009
00:53:20,215 --> 00:53:23,215
Speaker 3: the home and you use it intermittently, then chances are

1010
00:53:23,215 --> 00:53:28,855
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty dollars cordless drill, for example, will

1011
00:53:28,895 --> 00:53:31,775
Speaker 3: do what you need it to do ninety five percent

1012
00:53:31,815 --> 00:53:35,215
Speaker 3: of the time. Now, if you're a commercial operator and you're,

1013
00:53:35,295 --> 00:53:37,815
Speaker 3: for example, screwing roofing down or something like that, and

1014
00:53:37,855 --> 00:53:40,495
Speaker 3: you're doing that all day long, then you're going to

1015
00:53:40,535 --> 00:53:43,095
Speaker 3: need to choose something from the other end of the range.

1016
00:53:44,095 --> 00:53:46,815
Speaker 3: Table saws. I guess if I was choosing one and

1017
00:53:46,815 --> 00:53:48,655
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about the one that I've got at home

1018
00:53:48,735 --> 00:53:52,255
Speaker 3: without revealing what that particular brand might be. One of

1019
00:53:52,255 --> 00:53:54,455
Speaker 3: the things that I'm often really critical about some of

1020
00:53:54,495 --> 00:53:57,455
Speaker 3: the table saws is they only clamp at one side.

1021
00:53:57,535 --> 00:54:01,175
Speaker 3: So the ripping guide right the fence I think should

1022
00:54:01,175 --> 00:54:03,695
Speaker 3: be able to be clamped or should clamp and locate

1023
00:54:03,775 --> 00:54:07,615
Speaker 3: at both ends of the guide, because that holds it

1024
00:54:07,735 --> 00:54:10,015
Speaker 3: a lot more secure than just being at one end

1025
00:54:10,015 --> 00:54:12,175
Speaker 3: of the guide. So that would be part of my

1026
00:54:12,255 --> 00:54:15,335
Speaker 3: criteria there. The other thing is, I guess I know

1027
00:54:15,495 --> 00:54:18,495
Speaker 3: power tools are expensive, particularly if you buy them brand new.

1028
00:54:19,455 --> 00:54:22,335
Speaker 3: Over the years, I've actually bought a reasonable amount of

1029
00:54:22,415 --> 00:54:27,495
Speaker 3: gear secondhand, and sometimes that can be quite I mean,

1030
00:54:28,175 --> 00:54:29,935
Speaker 3: sometimes you can end up with rubbish, so you've got

1031
00:54:29,975 --> 00:54:33,495
Speaker 3: to be a bit careful. I absolutely loathe with a

1032
00:54:33,575 --> 00:54:37,095
Speaker 3: passion people that steal power tools and then sell them.

1033
00:54:37,295 --> 00:54:39,775
Speaker 3: So I think you've got to be super cautious around

1034
00:54:40,255 --> 00:54:43,735
Speaker 3: buying from some one who you think might have stolen

1035
00:54:43,815 --> 00:54:47,415
Speaker 3: or come into possession of stolen goods. So you've got

1036
00:54:47,455 --> 00:54:48,575
Speaker 3: to be a bit careful around that.

1037
00:54:50,295 --> 00:54:50,735
Speaker 4: Seriously.

1038
00:54:50,775 --> 00:54:51,295
Speaker 15: I love.

1039
00:54:53,055 --> 00:54:57,775
Speaker 11: A real market for that type of stolen tols, and

1040
00:54:57,815 --> 00:55:01,175
Speaker 11: you know, very hard to people don't record these serial

1041
00:55:01,255 --> 00:55:02,775
Speaker 11: numbers and all that sort of you know, you sort

1042
00:55:02,775 --> 00:55:03,535
Speaker 11: of going off track of.

1043
00:55:03,535 --> 00:55:06,095
Speaker 3: That, no, but look on that though, like a thing

1044
00:55:06,095 --> 00:55:09,095
Speaker 3: that I have been part of and I would encourage

1045
00:55:09,095 --> 00:55:11,695
Speaker 3: as the police through some of their community policing thing,

1046
00:55:12,215 --> 00:55:17,535
Speaker 3: we'll do programs with they'll they'll engrave or get tradees

1047
00:55:17,535 --> 00:55:21,175
Speaker 3: to engrave their driver's license number onto their power tools.

1048
00:55:21,175 --> 00:55:24,935
Speaker 3: And I've done exactly the same with mine, so you know,

1049
00:55:25,055 --> 00:55:27,495
Speaker 3: all of my gear has got my driver's license on it,

1050
00:55:27,775 --> 00:55:30,695
Speaker 3: because you know, I might paint my tools green and go,

1051
00:55:30,735 --> 00:55:32,775
Speaker 3: oh that's great, now I know which are mine. But

1052
00:55:32,855 --> 00:55:35,535
Speaker 3: if the police, you know, kick the door down on

1053
00:55:35,575 --> 00:55:38,295
Speaker 3: a meth house right and find there's a room full

1054
00:55:38,295 --> 00:55:41,295
Speaker 3: of power tools, and this is exactly what happens, and

1055
00:55:41,335 --> 00:55:44,655
Speaker 3: then hey, look, you know I've painted mine green or I've.

1056
00:55:44,495 --> 00:55:47,135
Speaker 4: Put p W on it. Well, who the hell's p W?

1057
00:55:47,535 --> 00:55:47,735
Speaker 4: You know?

1058
00:55:47,935 --> 00:55:50,575
Speaker 3: I mean, Whereas if you've got the driver's license, even

1059
00:55:50,615 --> 00:55:52,935
Speaker 3: if it's not your, you know, like let's say I've

1060
00:55:52,935 --> 00:55:55,895
Speaker 3: sold it to you, right, but at least if it

1061
00:55:55,935 --> 00:55:58,615
Speaker 3: gets pinched from you, then they'll contact me and I'll go, oh,

1062
00:55:58,615 --> 00:56:00,335
Speaker 3: that's right. I sold it to Matt a couple of

1063
00:56:00,415 --> 00:56:03,335
Speaker 3: years ago, you know, and it's legitimate, So I think

1064
00:56:03,335 --> 00:56:05,975
Speaker 3: that's great. But it look in terms of selecting the

1065
00:56:05,975 --> 00:56:08,375
Speaker 3: power I think you've got to look at obviously you've

1066
00:56:08,375 --> 00:56:09,975
Speaker 3: got to look at price, you've got to look at

1067
00:56:09,975 --> 00:56:14,055
Speaker 3: some of the basic features that the tool will have.

1068
00:56:15,775 --> 00:56:18,415
Speaker 3: And you know, again you might end up spending not

1069
00:56:18,535 --> 00:56:21,055
Speaker 3: that much on a table sort for example, but it does,

1070
00:56:21,535 --> 00:56:23,775
Speaker 3: you know, like I think it's really important. The guide

1071
00:56:23,815 --> 00:56:27,175
Speaker 3: gets clamped at both ends. And then sometimes what happens

1072
00:56:27,215 --> 00:56:30,335
Speaker 3: with more budget tools is they come with not particularly

1073
00:56:30,335 --> 00:56:33,455
Speaker 3: good quality blades. So often swapping the blade out and

1074
00:56:33,495 --> 00:56:36,175
Speaker 3: getting a really good blade into it can actually make

1075
00:56:36,215 --> 00:56:37,975
Speaker 3: the difference. But all you know, but you've got to

1076
00:56:37,975 --> 00:56:41,175
Speaker 3: be realistic too, And I get frustrated with people that go, oh, look,

1077
00:56:41,415 --> 00:56:43,015
Speaker 3: I bought this table saw and it cost me four

1078
00:56:43,055 --> 00:56:45,375
Speaker 3: hundred bucks and I was trying to rip down, you know,

1079
00:56:45,535 --> 00:56:50,695
Speaker 3: forty meters of hardwood and it's darnell. You know, seriously, mate,

1080
00:56:50,695 --> 00:56:53,215
Speaker 3: that's that's not what you should be doing with that tool.

1081
00:56:55,295 --> 00:56:57,775
Speaker 11: Do you do you have anything to say? You know,

1082
00:56:57,895 --> 00:57:00,815
Speaker 11: sort of right, the wattage one of the themes I'm

1083
00:57:00,815 --> 00:57:05,095
Speaker 11: looking at. It's been a thousand odd dollars. Yeah, it's

1084
00:57:05,135 --> 00:57:08,655
Speaker 11: good quality, comes with the built in stein, it's got

1085
00:57:09,135 --> 00:57:12,775
Speaker 11: an arbor, so you put data or data blade into it.

1086
00:57:14,175 --> 00:57:16,615
Speaker 11: Rack and pinion. But it's only fifteen hundred.

1087
00:57:16,615 --> 00:57:19,335
Speaker 4: What I think fifteen hundred will would do?

1088
00:57:19,415 --> 00:57:19,615
Speaker 7: You?

1089
00:57:21,335 --> 00:57:25,135
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

1090
00:57:25,175 --> 00:57:28,255
Speaker 11: Oh and I agree around what you said about Second

1091
00:57:28,295 --> 00:57:31,375
Speaker 11: End at tools of just can I speak to that brand?

1092
00:57:31,575 --> 00:57:33,335
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't mind you you can.

1093
00:57:34,855 --> 00:57:39,295
Speaker 11: So, yeah, good Second End HTASHI older model C or

1094
00:57:39,175 --> 00:57:47,535
Speaker 11: seating FSB condition, A good solid saw, really well looked after.

1095
00:57:48,695 --> 00:57:50,495
Speaker 11: I think, you know, that's a lifetime saw.

1096
00:57:50,775 --> 00:57:56,135
Speaker 3: I ran that saw for about fifteen years, so I

1097
00:57:56,535 --> 00:58:01,055
Speaker 3: know it intimately in a sense. They're awesome, they really are.

1098
00:58:02,055 --> 00:58:03,775
Speaker 11: Yeah, And then you know, I know they're not. You

1099
00:58:03,815 --> 00:58:06,815
Speaker 11: know a lot of people going to these forty volt systems,

1100
00:58:06,895 --> 00:58:09,695
Speaker 11: but you know for power or brilliant.

1101
00:58:10,335 --> 00:58:11,335
Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't.

1102
00:58:11,535 --> 00:58:14,375
Speaker 3: I haven't moved to that yet, but you know, at

1103
00:58:14,375 --> 00:58:17,735
Speaker 3: this point in time, like the the two drop saws

1104
00:58:17,775 --> 00:58:21,495
Speaker 3: that I have fine, right, so I don't need to upgrade. Certainly,

1105
00:58:21,535 --> 00:58:23,975
Speaker 3: I know a lot of a lot of contractors who

1106
00:58:24,015 --> 00:58:28,535
Speaker 3: are moving to cordless drop saws, and by all accounts,

1107
00:58:28,815 --> 00:58:31,095
Speaker 3: you know, I'm still getting my head around the performance there,

1108
00:58:31,135 --> 00:58:33,935
Speaker 3: but it's it's pretty damn good to be fair.

1109
00:58:34,335 --> 00:58:37,415
Speaker 11: Yeah, that main and mine has got a forty volt.

1110
00:58:37,735 --> 00:58:40,975
Speaker 11: It's brilliant. However it's a lot more money.

1111
00:58:41,455 --> 00:58:44,575
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, again, you know, it's one of those things

1112
00:58:44,575 --> 00:58:47,175
Speaker 3: that if, for example, you're like for finishing work for

1113
00:58:47,455 --> 00:58:49,895
Speaker 3: you know, if you're moving around the house doing finishing work,

1114
00:58:50,815 --> 00:58:54,455
Speaker 3: I think having a cordless or battery powered set up

1115
00:58:54,655 --> 00:58:57,695
Speaker 3: is fantastic. If you're working in a site where power

1116
00:58:57,735 --> 00:59:00,535
Speaker 3: is a little bit unreliable, then that's fantastic as well.

1117
00:59:00,575 --> 00:59:05,015
Speaker 3: But most of the time, I mean yeah, I mean, look,

1118
00:59:05,055 --> 00:59:08,695
Speaker 3: I to be fair, I've still got, for example, a

1119
00:59:08,815 --> 00:59:12,415
Speaker 3: corded skill saw at home. Have I used it much

1120
00:59:12,575 --> 00:59:13,815
Speaker 3: over the last couple of years.

1121
00:59:14,095 --> 00:59:14,135
Speaker 1: No.

1122
00:59:15,335 --> 00:59:19,055
Speaker 3: Does the battery powered gear that I've got suffice for

1123
00:59:19,655 --> 00:59:22,375
Speaker 3: ninety nine percent of what I do one hundred percent.

1124
00:59:22,615 --> 00:59:29,775
Speaker 3: It's amazing how quickly we've swapped across. Yeah, chat, okay, buddy,

1125
00:59:29,855 --> 00:59:34,655
Speaker 3: take care. All the best followed then, Pete. Someone buying

1126
00:59:34,655 --> 00:59:37,295
Speaker 3: a table so should also get a good pusher such

1127
00:59:37,335 --> 00:59:40,015
Speaker 3: as the gripper to save their hands and fingers. Cheers

1128
00:59:40,015 --> 00:59:42,975
Speaker 3: from Moz If you're wondering what that is, it's like

1129
00:59:43,415 --> 00:59:45,895
Speaker 3: you shouldn't have your fingers any w near the blade, right,

1130
00:59:46,215 --> 00:59:49,655
Speaker 3: So typically if you're cutting something that's smaller and you need.

1131
00:59:49,895 --> 00:59:51,895
Speaker 3: It needs to be close to the blade. Then you

1132
00:59:52,015 --> 00:59:54,535
Speaker 3: end up with a push stick and you can get

1133
00:59:54,615 --> 00:59:57,415
Speaker 3: flash ones like the gripper and things like that. To

1134
00:59:57,455 --> 00:59:59,655
Speaker 3: be fair, I make my own. I've made a number

1135
00:59:59,695 --> 01:00:01,815
Speaker 3: of them over the years, and if you look online

1136
01:00:01,815 --> 01:00:04,495
Speaker 3: there's all sorts of different varieties and so on. The

1137
01:00:04,535 --> 01:00:06,095
Speaker 3: one that I made the other day has got a

1138
01:00:06,135 --> 01:00:09,495
Speaker 3: lot handle on the top works absolutely fine. Oh, eight

1139
01:00:09,575 --> 01:00:11,975
Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

1140
01:00:12,095 --> 01:00:13,135
Speaker 4: Do we take break?

1141
01:00:13,255 --> 01:00:15,975
Speaker 3: I think so let's do that and a bunch of

1142
01:00:16,095 --> 01:00:18,855
Speaker 3: great texts as well. With regard to power tools, more

1143
01:00:18,895 --> 01:00:24,855
Speaker 3: than happy to talk tools, particularly around you know, I

1144
01:00:24,895 --> 01:00:29,095
Speaker 3: suppose it's a competency thing where you need to have

1145
01:00:29,135 --> 01:00:33,815
Speaker 3: the time on the tool to become competent in its

1146
01:00:34,135 --> 01:00:38,735
Speaker 3: use without becoming complacent, because that's that's when things go wrong.

1147
01:00:38,975 --> 01:00:40,815
Speaker 3: We'll come back and talk more about tools. We'll talk

1148
01:00:40,855 --> 01:00:43,135
Speaker 3: all things building construction here at new Stalk SeeDB. The

1149
01:00:43,175 --> 01:00:45,455
Speaker 3: lines are open. The number is eight hundred and eighty

1150
01:00:45,495 --> 01:00:46,975
Speaker 3: ten eighty back in a moment your.

1151
01:00:46,935 --> 01:00:47,575
Speaker 4: News stalk s hed B.

1152
01:00:47,735 --> 01:00:49,615
Speaker 3: And to be fair, I'm kind of in a happy

1153
01:00:49,615 --> 01:00:51,735
Speaker 3: place talking about power tools, so we can talk power tools.

1154
01:00:51,735 --> 01:00:54,295
Speaker 3: We can talk power tool safety usage and that sort

1155
01:00:54,295 --> 01:00:57,215
Speaker 3: of thing, and it's I'm very much in favor of

1156
01:00:57,255 --> 01:00:59,055
Speaker 3: you encouraging.

1157
01:00:58,495 --> 01:00:59,255
Speaker 4: Anyone to.

1158
01:01:01,415 --> 01:01:05,655
Speaker 3: Purchase and use and develop their skills with power tools.

1159
01:01:06,415 --> 01:01:11,215
Speaker 3: So I'm very conscious, having, you know, years and years

1160
01:01:11,455 --> 01:01:14,975
Speaker 3: of working with people, some of whom have had life

1161
01:01:15,095 --> 01:01:20,415
Speaker 3: changing injuries as a result of incidents involving power tools,

1162
01:01:20,415 --> 01:01:24,695
Speaker 3: that safety is also powera amount that I'm absolutely convinced to.

1163
01:01:24,855 --> 01:01:30,255
Speaker 3: Safety always, most cases always comes down to the competency

1164
01:01:30,415 --> 01:01:34,055
Speaker 3: and the attitude and the awareness of the operator.

1165
01:01:34,855 --> 01:01:35,295
Speaker 4: Every now and.

1166
01:01:35,335 --> 01:01:38,135
Speaker 3: Then, you know, tools will kind of bite you in

1167
01:01:38,495 --> 01:01:41,175
Speaker 3: the sense that they fail and that becomes a problem.

1168
01:01:41,175 --> 01:01:44,615
Speaker 3: But nine times out of ten, it's always about the operator.

1169
01:01:44,655 --> 01:01:46,815
Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

1170
01:01:46,855 --> 01:01:48,175
Speaker 4: Parvin. Good morning to you.

1171
01:01:49,455 --> 01:01:49,855
Speaker 15: How are you?

1172
01:01:50,255 --> 01:01:50,735
Speaker 4: Good morning?

1173
01:01:50,735 --> 01:01:56,335
Speaker 14: I'm well, thanks, sadly about I've got about nineteen seventy

1174
01:01:56,375 --> 01:01:59,175
Speaker 14: property and when it rains, not every time, but it's

1175
01:01:59,335 --> 01:02:02,135
Speaker 14: what it comes through the popular window into the house. Yep,

1176
01:02:03,015 --> 01:02:05,055
Speaker 14: you haven't heard of anything like that before. What the

1177
01:02:05,095 --> 01:02:06,295
Speaker 14: best way we live that would be?

1178
01:02:08,295 --> 01:02:11,415
Speaker 3: It really comes down to finding out where and why, right,

1179
01:02:12,135 --> 01:02:13,975
Speaker 3: so you can fix it if you know exactly where

1180
01:02:13,975 --> 01:02:17,455
Speaker 3: it's coming from. It's interesting that it owns it doesn't

1181
01:02:17,495 --> 01:02:21,135
Speaker 3: happen every time it rains. So what that tells me

1182
01:02:21,295 --> 01:02:24,135
Speaker 3: is that it's about a combination of wind.

1183
01:02:23,935 --> 01:02:28,855
Speaker 14: And rain that kind of kind We didn't rule it that,

1184
01:02:28,935 --> 01:02:31,775
Speaker 14: but we're not that could or not because that even

1185
01:02:31,815 --> 01:02:36,655
Speaker 14: on non wind as it's come through as well close

1186
01:02:36,695 --> 01:02:40,935
Speaker 14: to the window, yes, and worked our way good. We

1187
01:02:41,655 --> 01:02:46,655
Speaker 14: couldn't just kind of like, yeah, lostedness system.

1188
01:02:47,695 --> 01:02:50,415
Speaker 3: So when you've if you're using a hose and ideally

1189
01:02:50,575 --> 01:02:52,695
Speaker 3: not you know, with the hose on direct but use

1190
01:02:52,735 --> 01:02:55,895
Speaker 3: it like the soaka setting or a sprinkler setting or

1191
01:02:55,895 --> 01:02:58,095
Speaker 3: a shower setting or something like that, so that you've

1192
01:02:58,095 --> 01:03:02,975
Speaker 3: got trying to replicate normal weather conditions and you couldn't

1193
01:03:03,095 --> 01:03:03,735
Speaker 3: make it leak.

1194
01:03:04,095 --> 01:03:06,535
Speaker 4: Then no, it did that.

1195
01:03:06,735 --> 01:03:08,175
Speaker 14: We got to a stadium, it didn't it, but you

1196
01:03:08,175 --> 01:03:11,295
Speaker 14: couldn't stand to exactly. We kind of feeled the whole

1197
01:03:11,295 --> 01:03:12,055
Speaker 14: area of ceiling.

1198
01:03:12,455 --> 01:03:13,335
Speaker 15: Yep, and we thought.

1199
01:03:14,855 --> 01:03:16,455
Speaker 14: About two three weeks later.

1200
01:03:17,935 --> 01:03:26,495
Speaker 3: Okay, right, Yeah, it definitely only leaks when it rains. Yes, Okay, Now,

1201
01:03:26,535 --> 01:03:29,175
Speaker 3: because it's a question I often ask people because sometimes

1202
01:03:29,295 --> 01:03:31,335
Speaker 3: in fact the leak is not about the weather.

1203
01:03:31,455 --> 01:03:32,935
Speaker 4: It's about a pipe for example.

1204
01:03:33,975 --> 01:03:34,415
Speaker 14: True.

1205
01:03:34,535 --> 01:03:39,655
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's just a sort of process of elimination, right, yeah,

1206
01:03:40,255 --> 01:03:43,575
Speaker 3: I aluminium jewry, timber jowinery.

1207
01:03:44,095 --> 01:03:48,175
Speaker 14: Timber jewry. It's kind of weather on. It's got flatboards

1208
01:03:48,175 --> 01:03:49,895
Speaker 14: in the middle with the window that she placed in the.

1209
01:03:49,935 --> 01:03:53,015
Speaker 3: Building, and above the window. What happens above the window

1210
01:03:53,255 --> 01:03:55,295
Speaker 3: how far up to either the roof or to the

1211
01:03:55,335 --> 01:03:56,175
Speaker 3: second story.

1212
01:03:56,575 --> 01:03:58,575
Speaker 14: It goes to a second story to another window which

1213
01:03:58,615 --> 01:04:00,975
Speaker 14: doesn't which is really kind of strange because of this

1214
01:04:01,055 --> 01:04:03,135
Speaker 14: window one above the other ones one on one story,

1215
01:04:03,175 --> 01:04:05,095
Speaker 14: ones on the other, the top one doesn't think.

1216
01:04:04,975 --> 01:04:10,455
Speaker 3: It's unless potentially what's happening is that the top one

1217
01:04:10,535 --> 01:04:13,375
Speaker 3: does leak, but it leaks at the sill and the

1218
01:04:13,415 --> 01:04:17,735
Speaker 3: water is draining down through the building envelope, and then

1219
01:04:18,055 --> 01:04:21,495
Speaker 3: you're seeing it on the lower story window. Does it

1220
01:04:21,575 --> 01:04:23,575
Speaker 3: leak at the top of the bottom of the window.

1221
01:04:24,215 --> 01:04:26,495
Speaker 14: Top of the window comes through that l like you know,

1222
01:04:26,575 --> 01:04:28,935
Speaker 14: you've got a window frame that comes from the top

1223
01:04:28,975 --> 01:04:31,655
Speaker 14: of the frame. Basically just kind of natally, it's quite

1224
01:04:31,735 --> 01:04:35,095
Speaker 14: hard sometimes, you know, it's just like when it's coming

1225
01:04:35,135 --> 01:04:37,735
Speaker 14: through quite a lot, and it's sometimes it's just a

1226
01:04:37,815 --> 01:04:40,295
Speaker 14: light to drop. Sometimes I'm not a gash of that

1227
01:04:40,375 --> 01:04:42,455
Speaker 14: comes down quite a lot of them.

1228
01:04:43,055 --> 01:04:47,135
Speaker 3: Yeah, So when you were using the hose to get

1229
01:04:47,175 --> 01:04:49,735
Speaker 3: it to leak, did it leak when you were on

1230
01:04:49,775 --> 01:04:51,575
Speaker 3: the lower window? If you work from the sill up

1231
01:04:51,615 --> 01:04:53,935
Speaker 3: to the head, did it leak when you hit the head?

1232
01:04:54,175 --> 01:04:54,575
Speaker 4: It did?

1233
01:04:54,735 --> 01:04:57,895
Speaker 14: Okay, not a centure?

1234
01:04:57,975 --> 01:05:02,895
Speaker 5: Yeah right, yeah.

1235
01:05:03,295 --> 01:05:06,215
Speaker 3: Have you had a professional coming hell look around, because.

1236
01:05:05,975 --> 01:05:08,295
Speaker 11: It look at it and he went through and sealed

1237
01:05:08,295 --> 01:05:08,775
Speaker 11: it as well.

1238
01:05:08,815 --> 01:05:10,935
Speaker 14: But he's said, of failing that, you must have the whole.

1239
01:05:10,735 --> 01:05:14,095
Speaker 3: Wall off and kind of investigate where it's actually coming from.

1240
01:05:14,415 --> 01:05:18,535
Speaker 14: Pretty much. Yeah, basically, yeah, yeah, that's what I got.

1241
01:05:18,655 --> 01:05:22,375
Speaker 14: Just another quick fixel that the way that because I've

1242
01:05:22,375 --> 01:05:24,975
Speaker 14: seen the stuff on TV, like I'm not onto, but

1243
01:05:25,055 --> 01:05:29,495
Speaker 14: on Edge on Facebook where people put like a spray

1244
01:05:29,655 --> 01:05:30,415
Speaker 14: or silicons.

1245
01:05:30,615 --> 01:05:33,375
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I've used those.

1246
01:05:34,375 --> 01:05:36,935
Speaker 3: I've used those in the right setting, so for example,

1247
01:05:37,455 --> 01:05:40,415
Speaker 3: corner of the spouting where the ceilant might have broken down, right,

1248
01:05:40,935 --> 01:05:44,215
Speaker 3: or a long flashing where there's a junction that might

1249
01:05:44,255 --> 01:05:47,495
Speaker 3: need to be sealed, or I think I even used

1250
01:05:47,535 --> 01:05:50,335
Speaker 3: it on some really rotten clear light roofing and just

1251
01:05:50,455 --> 01:05:52,735
Speaker 3: sprayed that over the top and it kind of worked

1252
01:05:52,735 --> 01:05:55,575
Speaker 3: as a temporary fix. But in terms of effects for

1253
01:05:55,655 --> 01:05:58,655
Speaker 3: what you've got, I don't know that you would that.

1254
01:05:58,615 --> 01:05:59,495
Speaker 4: Would be the solution.

1255
01:05:59,575 --> 01:06:00,415
Speaker 14: I want to do that.

1256
01:06:00,495 --> 01:06:10,335
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, interesting that you like. If you can make

1257
01:06:10,375 --> 01:06:12,895
Speaker 3: it leak, typically you can then identify if you know

1258
01:06:12,935 --> 01:06:18,935
Speaker 3: where you're spraying the water, like when you do that investigation. Yeah,

1259
01:06:18,975 --> 01:06:23,015
Speaker 3: I think so, and do it with someone on the

1260
01:06:23,015 --> 01:06:26,975
Speaker 3: inside and someone on the outside so that you absolutely

1261
01:06:27,495 --> 01:06:31,455
Speaker 3: typically that should identify it. And so I guess there's

1262
01:06:31,455 --> 01:06:33,175
Speaker 3: a couple of things. One is it might be leaking

1263
01:06:33,215 --> 01:06:36,335
Speaker 3: around the actual window frame, right, so if a sash

1264
01:06:36,415 --> 01:06:39,095
Speaker 3: is not well fitted, you can get leakage around there.

1265
01:06:39,535 --> 01:06:44,015
Speaker 3: Typically it'll leak around the head flashing, but in this instance,

1266
01:06:44,055 --> 01:06:46,575
Speaker 3: with another window above, the leak might be happening there

1267
01:06:46,615 --> 01:06:50,215
Speaker 3: and coming down. So i'd have a look at the

1268
01:06:50,255 --> 01:06:53,775
Speaker 3: seal flashing there. Yeah, but apart from that, I think

1269
01:06:54,095 --> 01:06:56,295
Speaker 3: it might be a little bit on your own. Their pardon,

1270
01:06:56,855 --> 01:06:58,815
Speaker 3: good luck with it all. Oh, eight hundred and eighty

1271
01:06:58,895 --> 01:07:01,335
Speaker 3: ten eighty is then number to call. We will take

1272
01:07:01,335 --> 01:07:04,695
Speaker 3: another break. We'll come back to Leslie and a quick

1273
01:07:04,735 --> 01:07:06,055
Speaker 3: text on the powertool theme.

1274
01:07:06,415 --> 01:07:06,655
Speaker 4: Pick.

1275
01:07:06,735 --> 01:07:09,575
Speaker 3: My husband has an old saw bench which he got

1276
01:07:09,575 --> 01:07:13,095
Speaker 3: in the nineteen seventies, so it has no safety guard

1277
01:07:13,135 --> 01:07:18,335
Speaker 3: on it. Can I buy one from Mary? You'd have

1278
01:07:18,415 --> 01:07:21,055
Speaker 3: to scour, you know, trade me your second hand tools

1279
01:07:21,055 --> 01:07:23,335
Speaker 3: and that sort of thing to find one. I certainly

1280
01:07:23,335 --> 01:07:25,735
Speaker 3: don't think there'll be one on the shelves anymore. If

1281
01:07:25,735 --> 01:07:27,495
Speaker 3: it's a nineteen seventy one, it's probably a good old

1282
01:07:27,495 --> 01:07:30,895
Speaker 3: fashioned tenor that's what we had when I was doing

1283
01:07:30,935 --> 01:07:36,175
Speaker 3: my early years of building, big old heavy thing. Lugged

1284
01:07:36,175 --> 01:07:39,455
Speaker 3: it on and off the trailer like he rattled, and

1285
01:07:39,615 --> 01:07:42,655
Speaker 3: carried on cut plenty kitchens out with it, though. That

1286
01:07:42,775 --> 01:07:46,095
Speaker 3: was a remarkable thing. Hello as and cut them and

1287
01:07:46,095 --> 01:07:47,935
Speaker 3: made them not cut them up and got rid of

1288
01:07:47,935 --> 01:07:48,855
Speaker 3: them like we used to.

1289
01:07:48,855 --> 01:07:51,335
Speaker 4: Make our own kitchens, Leslie. Good morning to you.

1290
01:07:51,935 --> 01:07:55,615
Speaker 17: Yeah, good morning, Peter. Look I've got an area of

1291
01:07:55,695 --> 01:07:58,735
Speaker 17: backlawn i'm doing away with, and I've put down matting

1292
01:07:58,775 --> 01:08:01,135
Speaker 17: and I want to put some stones on top yep.

1293
01:08:01,295 --> 01:08:03,815
Speaker 17: And I went to the quarry the other day to

1294
01:08:03,935 --> 01:08:06,655
Speaker 17: find out, you know, because the guy asked what period

1295
01:08:06,695 --> 01:08:09,975
Speaker 17: is and it's five x seven meters, yes, And I

1296
01:08:10,015 --> 01:08:14,135
Speaker 17: couldn't understand how many stones, you know, he was talking

1297
01:08:14,295 --> 01:08:16,655
Speaker 17: meters or something. I just couldn't understand he.

1298
01:08:16,615 --> 01:08:21,455
Speaker 3: Would typically do a measurement in cubic meters. And so

1299
01:08:21,735 --> 01:08:26,935
Speaker 3: if so, it's five by seven year, right, and what

1300
01:08:27,015 --> 01:08:30,015
Speaker 3: type of stones are you talking? Like river pebbles that sort.

1301
01:08:29,815 --> 01:08:33,135
Speaker 17: Of thing, yes, yes, not too light, but not you

1302
01:08:33,415 --> 01:08:34,215
Speaker 17: not the big stone.

1303
01:08:34,495 --> 01:08:40,775
Speaker 3: Yeah, like a decorative pebble types thing. So you would

1304
01:08:40,855 --> 01:08:45,295
Speaker 3: probably put maybe fifty millimeters two inches of decorative pebble down.

1305
01:08:46,015 --> 01:08:48,295
Speaker 3: Anything less than that it would be hard to get cover.

1306
01:08:48,775 --> 01:08:53,735
Speaker 3: So let's let's assume that you're putting fifty millimeters down, Okay,

1307
01:08:54,175 --> 01:08:59,575
Speaker 3: so to be seven by five, which is seven seven

1308
01:08:59,575 --> 01:09:07,935
Speaker 3: times five equals thirty five times point oh five, which

1309
01:09:08,015 --> 01:09:10,695
Speaker 3: is one point seventy five. So if you asked him

1310
01:09:10,735 --> 01:09:14,695
Speaker 3: to deliver two cubic meters of stones, that would be

1311
01:09:14,735 --> 01:09:17,895
Speaker 3: around Now, two cubic meters is not a small pile,

1312
01:09:18,255 --> 01:09:22,375
Speaker 3: by the way, So an average eight by four trailer,

1313
01:09:23,135 --> 01:09:25,015
Speaker 3: so an eight or two point four by one point

1314
01:09:25,055 --> 01:09:28,615
Speaker 3: two trailer with a reasonable upstand on it will take

1315
01:09:28,615 --> 01:09:31,775
Speaker 3: about a cubic meter, so it would be two trailer

1316
01:09:31,775 --> 01:09:35,815
Speaker 3: loads of metal or these days they often will deliver

1317
01:09:35,895 --> 01:09:39,975
Speaker 3: those sorts of landscaping supplies in one cubic meter bags.

1318
01:09:40,375 --> 01:09:42,975
Speaker 3: So if you got two of those bags dropped off

1319
01:09:43,055 --> 01:09:45,815
Speaker 3: that would give you enough to cover that area about

1320
01:09:45,855 --> 01:09:46,895
Speaker 3: fifty millimeters deep.

1321
01:09:47,935 --> 01:09:49,855
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, I think I'll get him to deliver it.

1322
01:09:49,895 --> 01:09:52,975
Speaker 3: And oh yeah, and then I'm thinking this would be

1323
01:09:52,975 --> 01:09:55,735
Speaker 3: a great job for a young nephew or grandson or

1324
01:09:55,775 --> 01:09:58,615
Speaker 3: something like that to barrow that around because there'll be

1325
01:09:58,615 --> 01:10:00,295
Speaker 3: a little bit of work involved in that too.

1326
01:10:00,695 --> 01:10:03,895
Speaker 17: Oh yes, yes, yes, well worth you know, for them

1327
01:10:03,935 --> 01:10:07,495
Speaker 17: to deliver. Yeah, absolutely, saying oh, you can hire a

1328
01:10:07,575 --> 01:10:11,295
Speaker 17: trailer for thirty dollars, you know, And I said, I said,

1329
01:10:11,295 --> 01:10:12,735
Speaker 17: do I have to do all the work to load

1330
01:10:12,735 --> 01:10:14,255
Speaker 17: all the stone?

1331
01:10:15,975 --> 01:10:19,655
Speaker 3: I know they'll load it, but it's the unloading which

1332
01:10:19,775 --> 01:10:24,535
Speaker 3: is the hardbit. So yeah, yeah, I'd probably look at

1333
01:10:24,535 --> 01:10:26,695
Speaker 3: getting someone to give you a hand at the other

1334
01:10:26,855 --> 01:10:30,655
Speaker 3: end with a wheelbarrow and a shovel. And also when

1335
01:10:30,695 --> 01:10:33,615
Speaker 3: you do that, when you clear that area, make sure

1336
01:10:33,655 --> 01:10:38,415
Speaker 3: you put down some weed mat underneath the stone. That awesome, perfect, Yeah,

1337
01:10:40,055 --> 01:10:42,655
Speaker 3: two cubic meters will get you there. Okay, okay, no

1338
01:10:42,735 --> 01:10:45,775
Speaker 3: trouble at all. Nice to check see. Then I wait,

1339
01:10:45,775 --> 01:10:47,735
Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

1340
01:10:47,895 --> 01:10:49,455
Speaker 3: Ray A very good morning to you.

1341
01:10:50,655 --> 01:10:56,055
Speaker 7: Oh, good morning, we've got a downstairs tiled shower which

1342
01:10:56,095 --> 01:11:01,015
Speaker 7: we've just replaced, and the tiler and breaking out the

1343
01:11:01,095 --> 01:11:05,495
Speaker 7: existing tiles damaged the pipe that coast on the outlet

1344
01:11:06,455 --> 01:11:10,495
Speaker 7: down the drain. Yes, he got a plumber and who

1345
01:11:11,215 --> 01:11:14,335
Speaker 7: instead of putting a straight piece of pipe in which

1346
01:11:14,415 --> 01:11:17,095
Speaker 7: was normally, he put a pipe with a bend, a

1347
01:11:17,175 --> 01:11:21,415
Speaker 7: vertical bend in it. I guess it was easy to

1348
01:11:21,455 --> 01:11:24,615
Speaker 7: access the point. So we haven't been able to use

1349
01:11:24,655 --> 01:11:27,335
Speaker 7: the shower for a couple of weeks off and strive,

1350
01:11:28,095 --> 01:11:32,775
Speaker 7: And yesterday we used the shower and we found that

1351
01:11:32,815 --> 01:11:36,135
Speaker 7: the water didn't run away as quickly as it should.

1352
01:11:36,415 --> 01:11:39,695
Speaker 7: Then we understand that it's because it's got a vertical

1353
01:11:39,735 --> 01:11:43,135
Speaker 7: bend there the water. We ran it for about five

1354
01:11:43,255 --> 01:11:49,455
Speaker 7: minutes and it pulled about one centimeter on the floor

1355
01:11:49,575 --> 01:11:55,455
Speaker 7: of the shower before running away. Is that acceptable?

1356
01:11:56,215 --> 01:11:59,415
Speaker 3: It's not uncommon to have water build up. You know

1357
01:11:59,455 --> 01:12:02,415
Speaker 3: that in the end of the volume of water coming

1358
01:12:02,415 --> 01:12:05,055
Speaker 3: out of the shower heater is greater than what can

1359
01:12:05,375 --> 01:12:08,775
Speaker 3: quickly get through through the trap and out. I suppose

1360
01:12:08,815 --> 01:12:10,815
Speaker 3: the issue would be if you had a shower, Let's

1361
01:12:10,815 --> 01:12:14,535
Speaker 3: say you do a three minute shower for example, and

1362
01:12:14,775 --> 01:12:16,935
Speaker 3: at the end of that time you've found that you've

1363
01:12:16,935 --> 01:12:19,815
Speaker 3: got two or three centimeters of water, or it's getting

1364
01:12:19,855 --> 01:12:22,855
Speaker 3: to the point where it might overflow the hob, then

1365
01:12:23,015 --> 01:12:26,455
Speaker 3: that's probably an issue. If it's a small amount of water,

1366
01:12:26,615 --> 01:12:28,815
Speaker 3: it's not ideal, but it might not be the end

1367
01:12:28,815 --> 01:12:32,215
Speaker 3: of the world. I suppose the thing to do would

1368
01:12:32,255 --> 01:12:35,735
Speaker 3: be to get an assurance from the plumber that long

1369
01:12:35,855 --> 01:12:40,495
Speaker 3: term you're not going to have any issues with that. Ideally,

1370
01:12:40,575 --> 01:12:42,855
Speaker 3: you want the water to get away as quickly as possible.

1371
01:12:44,175 --> 01:12:49,015
Speaker 3: And the damage to the existing was that to the

1372
01:12:49,135 --> 01:12:52,695
Speaker 3: waste water outlet? Was that with what got broken?

1373
01:12:53,095 --> 01:12:53,215
Speaker 15: Right?

1374
01:12:54,055 --> 01:12:58,375
Speaker 7: He was in jack cammering the tiles out that jackamer

1375
01:12:58,495 --> 01:13:00,415
Speaker 7: went through the pipe.

1376
01:13:00,455 --> 01:13:05,335
Speaker 3: Right, did you I'm always a little bit cautious around

1377
01:13:05,415 --> 01:13:08,535
Speaker 3: those sorts of repair, you know, where you can't see

1378
01:13:08,535 --> 01:13:10,615
Speaker 3: it later on, and particularly is it on in a

1379
01:13:10,615 --> 01:13:14,975
Speaker 3: concrete slab or yeah, it would have been yeah, yeah, okay.

1380
01:13:14,615 --> 01:13:17,935
Speaker 7: And I saw them put concrete encasement around it.

1381
01:13:18,615 --> 01:13:21,295
Speaker 4: Yeah. Did they test the line.

1382
01:13:22,895 --> 01:13:26,615
Speaker 7: So they put water down it? They put water down it?

1383
01:13:27,015 --> 01:13:27,255
Speaker 15: Yeah.

1384
01:13:27,295 --> 01:13:31,415
Speaker 3: No, Typically for testing what you would do is you'd

1385
01:13:31,415 --> 01:13:34,415
Speaker 3: put a plug in the line, right so to block

1386
01:13:34,615 --> 01:13:37,735
Speaker 3: it off and then fill the line with water and

1387
01:13:37,815 --> 01:13:39,415
Speaker 3: make sure that it holds water.

1388
01:13:41,095 --> 01:13:45,655
Speaker 7: No, they didn't do that.

1389
01:13:45,655 --> 01:13:48,775
Speaker 3: That in my mind, that wouldn't be an unreasonable thing

1390
01:13:48,815 --> 01:13:52,655
Speaker 3: to ask the contractor to do, because chances are your

1391
01:13:52,695 --> 01:13:54,935
Speaker 3: shower is one of the lowest outlets, right, so if

1392
01:13:54,975 --> 01:13:58,935
Speaker 3: you if there's an inspection junction outside, you could take

1393
01:13:58,935 --> 01:14:02,895
Speaker 3: that inspection cap off, install a plug or a bung

1394
01:14:03,055 --> 01:14:06,535
Speaker 3: into the line, and then fill the shower until you

1395
01:14:06,575 --> 01:14:09,215
Speaker 3: see the water coming up because obviously it can't escape,

1396
01:14:09,215 --> 01:14:12,775
Speaker 3: so it will come up. And then you fill that.

1397
01:14:12,775 --> 01:14:15,575
Speaker 3: That will mean that where the junction is, that connection

1398
01:14:16,375 --> 01:14:21,335
Speaker 3: is then fully saturated. It's underwater. And so if the

1399
01:14:21,495 --> 01:14:25,335
Speaker 3: level in the shower recedes, let's say over a two

1400
01:14:25,415 --> 01:14:28,575
Speaker 3: hour period, then you know that there's a leak somewhere,

1401
01:14:29,055 --> 01:14:31,975
Speaker 3: and I'd be I would always be concerned around that junction.

1402
01:14:32,135 --> 01:14:35,375
Speaker 3: So I think doing a test is not an unreasonable

1403
01:14:35,375 --> 01:14:36,055
Speaker 3: thing to ask.

1404
01:14:37,175 --> 01:14:42,095
Speaker 7: But a general water on the bottom at full bore

1405
01:14:42,815 --> 01:14:45,415
Speaker 7: is probably not a big issue. I don't think it's

1406
01:14:45,495 --> 01:14:47,295
Speaker 7: probably not the most desirable, but.

1407
01:14:47,655 --> 01:14:50,295
Speaker 3: No, it probably isn't. And I you know, sometimes we

1408
01:14:50,415 --> 01:14:52,735
Speaker 3: just have to be a bit pragmatic around these things, right,

1409
01:14:52,815 --> 01:14:54,855
Speaker 3: So no, that's probably not an issue.

1410
01:14:54,935 --> 01:14:56,615
Speaker 11: But I thought I.

1411
01:14:56,535 --> 01:15:01,455
Speaker 7: Had was to change the shower head to a less flow.

1412
01:15:01,735 --> 01:15:03,575
Speaker 3: I mean, look for a number of reasons, that's not

1413
01:15:03,655 --> 01:15:06,695
Speaker 3: a bad idea. I mean, and to be fair, number

1414
01:15:06,735 --> 01:15:11,095
Speaker 3: of new shower heads now are actually they're they're restricted

1415
01:15:11,095 --> 01:15:14,175
Speaker 3: in some way, so they don't allow the same volume

1416
01:15:14,215 --> 01:15:19,135
Speaker 3: of water. Should still be a comfortable shower in terms

1417
01:15:19,175 --> 01:15:22,015
Speaker 3: of water efficiency, Yes, it's a good idea to have

1418
01:15:22,175 --> 01:15:23,935
Speaker 3: a efficient Have you got.

1419
01:15:23,815 --> 01:15:25,135
Speaker 7: One time for one more question?

1420
01:15:25,255 --> 01:15:25,415
Speaker 4: Yes?

1421
01:15:25,455 --> 01:15:25,615
Speaker 15: Sure.

1422
01:15:27,215 --> 01:15:31,495
Speaker 7: We've got an engineered large bench top in our kitchen.

1423
01:15:31,815 --> 01:15:37,135
Speaker 7: It's a black black colored and yesterday my wife put

1424
01:15:37,215 --> 01:15:40,495
Speaker 7: a very hot cup on it and it made a

1425
01:15:40,495 --> 01:15:44,735
Speaker 7: white mark yep. And then I got some silly me

1426
01:15:45,535 --> 01:15:52,095
Speaker 7: got some arm just cleaner, yeah yeah, and I've tried

1427
01:15:52,135 --> 01:15:55,415
Speaker 7: to remove it. First of all, I use method SPIRITSTO.

1428
01:15:56,215 --> 01:16:00,855
Speaker 7: I used some cleaner, and the cleaner took the dullness

1429
01:16:00,855 --> 01:16:07,375
Speaker 7: of the area, the black area, and there's probably a

1430
01:16:07,415 --> 01:16:11,695
Speaker 7: two hundred mil sort of skirkle where I've tried to

1431
01:16:11,815 --> 01:16:14,855
Speaker 7: take the mark away, but it's sort of flattened the color,

1432
01:16:15,495 --> 01:16:19,815
Speaker 7: and I'm wondering how I can bring that color backer.

1433
01:16:20,255 --> 01:16:22,735
Speaker 7: The very simple thing I thought about was keeping a

1434
01:16:22,815 --> 01:16:23,735
Speaker 7: tin and nugget and.

1435
01:16:24,575 --> 01:16:29,495
Speaker 4: No, no, no, right, right, right.

1436
01:16:29,895 --> 01:16:32,535
Speaker 3: The best thing to do is to there are a

1437
01:16:32,535 --> 01:16:34,855
Speaker 3: couple of companies out there that specialize in that sort

1438
01:16:34,855 --> 01:16:40,695
Speaker 3: of remediation. As it happens, not a similar incident happened

1439
01:16:41,175 --> 01:16:44,855
Speaker 3: close to home, in fact, in my home, and so

1440
01:16:44,935 --> 01:16:47,175
Speaker 3: when I reached out and went to there's a couple

1441
01:16:47,175 --> 01:16:50,415
Speaker 3: of companies around. There's people like bench top Doctor, for example,

1442
01:16:51,375 --> 01:16:55,175
Speaker 3: who will come and do repairs to benchtops. Leave it

1443
01:16:55,215 --> 01:16:58,735
Speaker 3: to the professionals, because I think anything you probably try

1444
01:16:58,775 --> 01:17:02,535
Speaker 3: and do yourself, will you know, worsen it rather than

1445
01:17:02,855 --> 01:17:07,495
Speaker 3: use that company In the end, I didn't. I've used

1446
01:17:07,535 --> 01:17:10,815
Speaker 3: them on other jobs. So there's there's people that specialize

1447
01:17:10,855 --> 01:17:14,455
Speaker 3: in stone. There's people that specialize in if you know

1448
01:17:14,495 --> 01:17:17,375
Speaker 3: who installed the stone in the first place, go back

1449
01:17:17,375 --> 01:17:21,455
Speaker 3: to them. They've probably got contacts for repairs and remediation.

1450
01:17:21,655 --> 01:17:25,535
Speaker 3: But I think something like this it is really a

1451
01:17:25,535 --> 01:17:29,295
Speaker 3: professional job. So have a scout around. I've used guys

1452
01:17:29,335 --> 01:17:32,415
Speaker 3: who do acrylics, for example, but bench stops get a

1453
01:17:32,455 --> 01:17:36,135
Speaker 3: professional and back after the break question of a building nature,

1454
01:17:36,215 --> 01:17:38,095
Speaker 3: we are more than happy to talk about that. Oh

1455
01:17:38,135 --> 01:17:40,695
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to

1456
01:17:40,735 --> 01:17:43,015
Speaker 3: call here at News Talk s DBC you with people

Speaker 3: the Olympics as well to answer the most recent question

1465
01:18:11,375 --> 01:18:13,375
Speaker 3: text why is there no mention of Emma Tweg on

1466
01:18:13,455 --> 01:18:16,175
Speaker 3: the silver medal? Well, the good news is is that

1467
01:18:16,175 --> 01:18:21,535
Speaker 3: Francesca Rudkin has secured an interview with said Emma Twig

1468
01:18:22,015 --> 01:18:25,775
Speaker 3: and they will be talking during Francesca's show, which starts

1469

Speaker 3: at nine o'clock this morning. So there you go, a

1470
01:18:28,455 --> 01:18:30,975
Speaker 3: live interview. Oh W eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty.

1471
01:18:30,975 --> 01:18:34,375
Speaker 3: If you've got a question we've been talking about. We've

1472
01:18:34,415 --> 01:18:36,095
Speaker 3: got talking a little bit about power tools at the

1473
01:18:36,135 --> 01:18:39,975
Speaker 3: beginning of the program and really around safety and what's

1474
01:18:40,135 --> 01:18:42,815
Speaker 3: sort of an adequate a minimum level of safety in

1475
01:18:42,895 --> 01:18:46,295
Speaker 3: terms of ensuring that if somebody who's unfamiliar with them,

1476
01:18:46,455 --> 01:18:51,535
Speaker 3: or if a child comes into your workspace, what precautions

1477
01:18:51,575 --> 01:18:53,815
Speaker 3: can there be. Now, I'm very much of the attitude

1478
01:18:53,815 --> 01:18:56,255
Speaker 3: that if you're the one doing the job, and this

1479
01:18:56,335 --> 01:18:59,455
Speaker 3: is whether you're a contractor, you're responsible for the environment

1480
01:18:59,535 --> 01:19:02,935
Speaker 3: and for controlling that. If you're a homeowner like most

1481
01:19:02,975 --> 01:19:05,135
Speaker 3: of us are, and we're doing work around the house,

1482
01:19:05,175 --> 01:19:08,935
Speaker 3: then it becomes our responsibility. I think the person doing

1483
01:19:08,975 --> 01:19:11,615
Speaker 3: the job to ensure that the environment is safe, and

1484
01:19:11,615 --> 01:19:14,855
Speaker 3: that includes taking sensible precautions.

1485
01:19:14,215 --> 01:19:15,735
Speaker 4: Around power tools.

1486
01:19:15,775 --> 01:19:18,495
Speaker 3: If you and all of us, most of us would

1487
01:19:18,535 --> 01:19:21,015
Speaker 3: have done this over the years. You're doing a job

1488
01:19:21,055 --> 01:19:23,855
Speaker 3: at home and there might be small children floating around,

1489
01:19:25,015 --> 01:19:27,855
Speaker 3: There might be people who are unfamiliar with power tools around,

1490
01:19:28,215 --> 01:19:31,295
Speaker 3: so what are sensible precautions to ensure that they don't

1491
01:19:31,455 --> 01:19:35,935
Speaker 3: either out of curiosity or lack of knowledge, inadvertently turn

1492
01:19:35,975 --> 01:19:40,015
Speaker 3: on a power tool, cut themselves, hurt themselves in any way.

1493
01:19:40,855 --> 01:19:44,255
Speaker 3: But ultimately, I think it always comes down to you

1494
01:19:44,535 --> 01:19:47,615
Speaker 3: being in control of the environment, you setting the standards

1495
01:19:47,655 --> 01:19:50,215
Speaker 3: for that. So we've had a whole number of texts

1496
01:19:50,255 --> 01:19:55,095
Speaker 3: and calls around safety switches and one person who had

1497
01:19:55,215 --> 01:19:58,415
Speaker 3: like a complete power override in their workshop so that

1498
01:19:58,455 --> 01:20:02,255
Speaker 3: they could simply flip one switch and kill all of

1499
01:20:02,295 --> 01:20:06,095
Speaker 3: the power or deenergize. This is a new word that

1500
01:20:06,095 --> 01:20:07,815
Speaker 3: I learn this week when I was talking to some

1501
01:20:07,895 --> 01:20:13,775
Speaker 3: guys who were doing taking overhead power lines and connected

1502
01:20:13,935 --> 01:20:19,055
Speaker 3: or disconnecting those and doing new underground power in a street,

1503
01:20:19,935 --> 01:20:21,535
Speaker 3: and I had to give them access to the house

1504
01:20:21,575 --> 01:20:24,895
Speaker 3: for the electrical inspector to come through and do a

1505
01:20:24,895 --> 01:20:26,855
Speaker 3: certificate at the end to make sure that the work

1506
01:20:27,215 --> 01:20:32,775
Speaker 3: done by the contractor was safe and compliant. And so, yeah,

1507
01:20:32,975 --> 01:20:35,775
Speaker 3: the guy was talking normally. I don't know, it's just

1508
01:20:35,935 --> 01:20:38,535
Speaker 3: my old language. I would say you kill the power,

1509
01:20:38,695 --> 01:20:42,095
Speaker 3: right that means you've turned it off, But no, you

1510
01:20:42,255 --> 01:20:47,735
Speaker 3: de energize the power. These days, I guess for reasonable reasons.

1511
01:20:48,095 --> 01:20:50,575
Speaker 3: Talking about killing things is not that nice. But anyway,

1512
01:20:50,895 --> 01:20:53,895
Speaker 3: that was a new word that I let And the

1513
01:20:53,935 --> 01:20:56,295
Speaker 3: other day actually on this show, we were talking about

1514
01:20:56,375 --> 01:20:59,615
Speaker 3: electrical safety and electrical safety certificates and what sort of

1515
01:20:59,655 --> 01:21:04,375
Speaker 3: documentation is required by people undertaking this work in terms

1516
01:21:04,415 --> 01:21:07,135
Speaker 3: of at the end of the work of documents will

1517
01:21:07,175 --> 01:21:11,095
Speaker 3: you should you receive from the contractor. So the team

1518
01:21:11,135 --> 01:21:13,255
Speaker 3: that was working in the street and the house that

1519
01:21:13,295 --> 01:21:16,055
Speaker 3: I had to give them access to, they had my

1520
01:21:16,175 --> 01:21:18,975
Speaker 3: email and so at the end of the job they

1521
01:21:19,015 --> 01:21:22,015
Speaker 3: completed the work. On the Tuesday, they had the electrical

1522
01:21:22,015 --> 01:21:25,415
Speaker 3: safety inspector come and inspect the work done by the

1523
01:21:25,455 --> 01:21:28,815
Speaker 3: main contractor, and then from both of those people I

1524
01:21:28,895 --> 01:21:33,215
Speaker 3: received documentation the next day, one which was sort of

1525
01:21:33,255 --> 01:21:36,295
Speaker 3: a record of inspection for high risk work i eat.

1526
01:21:36,455 --> 01:21:37,375
Speaker 4: Connecting a new.

1527
01:21:37,335 --> 01:21:41,255
Speaker 3: Mains to the house, and another one was a certificate

1528
01:21:41,335 --> 01:21:44,695
Speaker 3: of compliance from the electricians that did the work did

1529
01:21:44,695 --> 01:21:47,815
Speaker 3: the actual installation of the connection of the new power

1530
01:21:48,215 --> 01:21:51,495
Speaker 3: to the meet aboard. Both of them sent me documentations,

1531
01:21:51,535 --> 01:21:54,295
Speaker 3: got their registration number on It describes the type of

1532
01:21:54,335 --> 01:21:58,055
Speaker 3: work done. One signed off by the electrical inspector and

1533
01:21:58,175 --> 01:22:01,615
Speaker 3: one signed off by the electricians that actually did the work.

1534
01:22:01,655 --> 01:22:04,735
Speaker 3: So that's the sort of basic documentation that you should

1535
01:22:04,775 --> 01:22:08,895
Speaker 3: get after electrical work is undertaken. This instance, it's high

1536
01:22:09,015 --> 01:22:12,135
Speaker 3: risk because it involves the mains, but regardless of what

1537
01:22:12,175 --> 01:22:15,095
Speaker 3: you do, you should get a COOC from your electrician

1538
01:22:15,175 --> 01:22:18,135
Speaker 3: for any electrical work done on your property. Oh eight,

1539
01:22:18,135 --> 01:22:20,055
Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

1540
01:22:20,055 --> 01:22:22,615
Speaker 3: If you've got a question of a building nature, you

1541
01:22:22,615 --> 01:22:25,255
Speaker 3: can give us a call, a quick one on a

1542
01:22:25,415 --> 01:22:28,935
Speaker 3: text on the showers. We were talking about that with

1543
01:22:29,135 --> 01:22:33,295
Speaker 3: ray just before the news. So a shower has been refurbished.

1544
01:22:33,575 --> 01:22:38,015
Speaker 3: During the process, the tiler seemingly, while they were chipping

1545
01:22:38,055 --> 01:22:42,735
Speaker 3: away at the tiles, ended up breaking the wastewater pipe,

1546
01:22:43,175 --> 01:22:45,695
Speaker 3: and so the plumber had to come and install, make

1547
01:22:45,775 --> 01:22:49,615
Speaker 3: a new connection to the broken wastewater pipe, and then

1548
01:22:49,935 --> 01:22:53,935
Speaker 3: do the trap install. The waste tiler's finished the job,

1549
01:22:54,455 --> 01:22:56,895
Speaker 3: water doesn't seem to flow as much as it used to,

1550
01:22:57,015 --> 01:22:59,255
Speaker 3: and I'm saying, well, I think it wouldn't be unreasonable

1551
01:22:59,295 --> 01:23:01,895
Speaker 3: to ask them to test that line to make sure

1552
01:23:01,935 --> 01:23:04,895
Speaker 3: that they also have sealed that junction. So again, if

1553
01:23:04,935 --> 01:23:09,055
Speaker 3: you're doing a new build, you're doing renovations, Council, as

1554
01:23:09,135 --> 01:23:13,495
Speaker 3: part of their inspection for the waste water lines, will

1555
01:23:13,535 --> 01:23:16,735
Speaker 3: ask the plumbers to install a bun or a plug

1556
01:23:16,815 --> 01:23:19,455
Speaker 3: into the line and then you fill that line to

1557
01:23:19,495 --> 01:23:22,455
Speaker 3: make sure that it's holding water. And it's quite a

1558
01:23:22,455 --> 01:23:25,055
Speaker 3: simple thing. You fill it up to the you can

1559
01:23:25,095 --> 01:23:27,055
Speaker 3: see where the water is, you can mark that on

1560
01:23:27,095 --> 01:23:29,215
Speaker 3: the pipe, and then if over a period of an

1561
01:23:29,215 --> 01:23:31,135
Speaker 3: hour or two that drops, well, you know you've got

1562
01:23:31,135 --> 01:23:34,215
Speaker 3: a leak somewhere. Really simple, so fix it before you

1563
01:23:34,295 --> 01:23:36,415
Speaker 3: close it in. I'm just wondering whether they haven't done

1564
01:23:36,455 --> 01:23:39,215
Speaker 3: that on this particular job. Oh eight hundred and eighty

1565
01:23:39,295 --> 01:23:41,535
Speaker 3: ten eighty lines are open. Oh and a lot of

1566
01:23:41,575 --> 01:23:43,695
Speaker 3: talk about power tools and safety. So more than happy

1567
01:23:43,775 --> 01:23:48,175
Speaker 3: to talk tools and tool selection and safety. That there

1568
01:23:48,255 --> 01:23:52,935
Speaker 3: is that trepidition at trepidation rather when if it's unfamiliar

1569
01:23:53,015 --> 01:23:55,495
Speaker 3: to you, but you want to start out down that

1570
01:23:55,535 --> 01:24:00,455
Speaker 3: sort of I'm going to own some power tool journeys journey,

1571
01:24:00,495 --> 01:24:02,375
Speaker 3: then how do you start? You know that if you

1572
01:24:02,575 --> 01:24:05,975
Speaker 3: buy a table saw, you've never used one in your life.

1573
01:24:06,415 --> 01:24:08,735
Speaker 3: You decide that you've got a project that you want

1574
01:24:08,815 --> 01:24:12,775
Speaker 3: to use one for and you're unfamiliar with them, or

1575
01:24:12,855 --> 01:24:14,855
Speaker 3: perhaps you've never used one at all, and so you

1576
01:24:14,895 --> 01:24:16,815
Speaker 3: bring it home, you unwrap it, you put it together.

1577
01:24:17,535 --> 01:24:20,055
Speaker 3: It's got to be just slightly terrifying the first time

1578
01:24:20,095 --> 01:24:22,215
Speaker 3: you turn it on. So where do you go to learn?

1579
01:24:22,575 --> 01:24:24,655
Speaker 3: I would suggest you should spend some time with someone

1580
01:24:24,695 --> 01:24:29,815
Speaker 3: who's competent with them and understand the processes before you

1581
01:24:29,895 --> 01:24:31,855
Speaker 3: had to go yourself. Oh Wa eight one hundred and

1582
01:24:31,895 --> 01:24:33,615
Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty. Will take a short break, we'll be

1583
01:24:33,655 --> 01:24:36,175
Speaker 3: back in just a moment. Your news talk said be.

1584
01:24:40,615 --> 01:24:41,175
Speaker 4: Fascinating.

1585
01:24:41,215 --> 01:24:45,455
Speaker 3: Texts from Michael just very briefly, morning, Pete. I'm an

1586
01:24:45,455 --> 01:24:47,815
Speaker 3: electrical engineer and love doing work at home. I've made

1587
01:24:47,855 --> 01:24:52,535
Speaker 3: a foot operated powerboard with COC and AC to run

1588
01:24:52,575 --> 01:24:55,375
Speaker 3: my table saw another electrical power tool, so that i

1589
01:24:55,455 --> 01:24:58,095
Speaker 3: always have both hands on the workpiece or the tool

1590
01:24:58,135 --> 01:25:00,575
Speaker 3: without having to remove a hand to switch the tool off.

1591
01:25:00,975 --> 01:25:07,135
Speaker 3: Especially the table chairs from Michael. Interesting approach. I'm fascinated

1592
01:25:07,175 --> 01:25:07,455
Speaker 3: by that.

1593
01:25:07,575 --> 01:25:07,935
Speaker 4: I'm not.

1594
01:25:09,575 --> 01:25:10,895
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to think of all of the time

1595
01:25:10,935 --> 01:25:12,975
Speaker 3: that I used the table saw. I would I would

1596
01:25:13,015 --> 01:25:15,775
Speaker 3: finish using you know, I've cut something, or I've done

1597
01:25:15,775 --> 01:25:18,775
Speaker 3: a rebayto or something like that, and I've finished, I've

1598
01:25:18,815 --> 01:25:23,975
Speaker 3: removed the timber from the saw, put that aside, and

1599
01:25:24,015 --> 01:25:26,655
Speaker 3: then I'll reach down and turn the saw off. That's

1600
01:25:27,815 --> 01:25:28,375
Speaker 3: that's enough.

1601
01:25:28,575 --> 01:25:29,175
Speaker 4: I don't.

1602
01:25:30,655 --> 01:25:32,415
Speaker 3: Like, I don't need to keep my I don't want

1603
01:25:32,455 --> 01:25:34,615
Speaker 3: to keep my hands by the blade to be fair.

1604
01:25:35,335 --> 01:25:38,655
Speaker 3: And then have and then think foot control. Look, I

1605
01:25:38,655 --> 01:25:40,615
Speaker 3: can see the advantage of it, and I've certainly worked

1606
01:25:40,655 --> 01:25:43,375
Speaker 3: in factories where we've had foot control, for example, for

1607
01:25:43,935 --> 01:25:46,655
Speaker 3: things like guillotines and that sort of thing. They are

1608
01:25:46,935 --> 01:25:50,975
Speaker 3: really nifty, interesting, fascinating. Thank you Michael for that. Ernest

1609
01:25:51,015 --> 01:25:51,895
Speaker 3: Good morning to you, sir.

1610
01:25:53,055 --> 01:25:58,335
Speaker 12: Good morning, sir morning. I'm working on a nineteen sixties

1611
01:25:58,415 --> 01:26:03,215
Speaker 12: half at the moment from my home, and I'm redoing

1612
01:26:03,295 --> 01:26:06,855
Speaker 12: the kitchen, and last night I started taking the sort

1613
01:26:06,895 --> 01:26:11,375
Speaker 12: of lino plastic flooring, which underneath that was a dark

1614
01:26:11,495 --> 01:26:17,655
Speaker 12: brown board which I know is masonite, and then underneath

1615
01:26:17,655 --> 01:26:22,575
Speaker 12: that is the floor in absolutely beautiful conditions. However, the

1616
01:26:22,575 --> 01:26:26,415
Speaker 12: masonite has been staple down and you can break the

1617
01:26:26,455 --> 01:26:29,815
Speaker 12: masonright off and you're left with the staples. Most of

1618
01:26:29,895 --> 01:26:34,455
Speaker 12: the staples, like four four out of five will come out,

1619
01:26:34,575 --> 01:26:38,335
Speaker 12: and I found using a pair of vice grips and

1620
01:26:39,015 --> 01:26:41,655
Speaker 12: a plank underneath them and sort of pulled them out

1621
01:26:41,695 --> 01:26:44,415
Speaker 12: that way. But some of them don't come out. I'm

1622
01:26:44,455 --> 01:26:47,055
Speaker 12: just wondering if there is a neck to it. Like

1623
01:26:47,655 --> 01:26:50,775
Speaker 12: I tried tapping the staple before putting it out, but

1624
01:26:51,055 --> 01:26:55,855
Speaker 12: I felt bad about doing that. So some of the

1625
01:26:55,855 --> 01:26:59,095
Speaker 12: staples bake off, so you've got two pins sticking up

1626
01:27:00,335 --> 01:27:02,175
Speaker 12: the any way of coping with it better?

1627
01:27:03,695 --> 01:27:07,495
Speaker 3: And part of me is just smiling from year to

1628
01:27:07,615 --> 01:27:10,735
Speaker 3: ear because I did a job exactly like that, but

1629
01:27:10,935 --> 01:27:12,895
Speaker 3: just between you and I, I did it when I

1630
01:27:12,935 --> 01:27:15,735
Speaker 3: was a much younger man, And to be fair, I'd

1631
01:27:15,775 --> 01:27:18,895
Speaker 3: had a big night out the night before, and my

1632
01:27:19,095 --> 01:27:22,375
Speaker 3: job the next day was to pull staples out of

1633
01:27:22,415 --> 01:27:25,135
Speaker 3: the floor. So spending a day on your hands and

1634
01:27:25,215 --> 01:27:28,535
Speaker 3: knees pulling staples out of the floor with just the

1635
01:27:28,575 --> 01:27:32,935
Speaker 3: most massive hangover was not pleasant, So I understand how

1636
01:27:33,335 --> 01:27:36,335
Speaker 3: difficult that job is. Look to be fair, if you're

1637
01:27:36,335 --> 01:27:39,135
Speaker 3: achieving four out of five, you're doing better than I did.

1638
01:27:40,135 --> 01:27:42,535
Speaker 3: My performance might have been slightly impaired at the time,

1639
01:27:42,575 --> 01:27:47,455
Speaker 3: but in the end, I think what I found and

1640
01:27:47,975 --> 01:27:50,535
Speaker 3: over the years that if you can get them out,

1641
01:27:50,575 --> 01:27:54,335
Speaker 3: that's great. Tapping them to sort of release the tension

1642
01:27:54,455 --> 01:27:56,895
Speaker 3: or the grip that they have, because the staples rust

1643
01:27:56,935 --> 01:27:59,055
Speaker 3: a little bit over time, right, so if you can

1644
01:27:59,135 --> 01:28:02,495
Speaker 3: loosen that bond by giving them a small tap. The

1645
01:28:02,535 --> 01:28:05,735
Speaker 3: hard thing is, because they're not particularly strong, you tend

1646
01:28:05,735 --> 01:28:08,015
Speaker 3: to flatten a head, and in fact, if you hit

1647
01:28:08,095 --> 01:28:10,855
Speaker 3: them too hard, you'll create a crease in the in

1648
01:28:10,895 --> 01:28:13,695
Speaker 3: the wire and that'll just make it more fragile. So

1649
01:28:14,135 --> 01:28:19,335
Speaker 3: it's a small tap. If you really wanted to, you

1650
01:28:19,375 --> 01:28:22,255
Speaker 3: could try soaking the floor to make the timber wet,

1651
01:28:22,295 --> 01:28:25,015
Speaker 3: but I don't know that it'll have a significant impact.

1652
01:28:25,575 --> 01:28:27,375
Speaker 3: What I found is that I got most of the

1653
01:28:27,375 --> 01:28:30,615
Speaker 3: staples out like you have, and then the ones that

1654
01:28:30,855 --> 01:28:34,695
Speaker 3: broke off and that I couldn't get any purchase on anymore,

1655
01:28:35,295 --> 01:28:38,535
Speaker 3: I would simply drive them down with a nail punch.

1656
01:28:38,975 --> 01:28:41,215
Speaker 3: And in fact, the ones that I missed once the

1657
01:28:41,335 --> 01:28:45,055
Speaker 3: sander went over them. It's you're talking about a millimeter, right,

1658
01:28:45,575 --> 01:28:48,135
Speaker 3: You kind of hardly even notice that if that's your

1659
01:28:48,135 --> 01:28:49,615
Speaker 3: intention is to stand the floor.

1660
01:28:51,135 --> 01:28:54,535
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, it is my intention. And I wondered about

1661
01:28:54,575 --> 01:28:57,735
Speaker 12: that that I had visions of it ripping up the

1662
01:28:59,415 --> 01:29:00,095
Speaker 12: sand paper.

1663
01:29:00,495 --> 01:29:04,055
Speaker 3: No, don't worry about that. And the slightest can I

1664
01:29:04,375 --> 01:29:07,095
Speaker 3: How much of the removal of your ex lino have

1665
01:29:07,255 --> 01:29:09,135
Speaker 3: you done?

1666
01:29:09,615 --> 01:29:12,455
Speaker 12: I've done about a square meter or so.

1667
01:29:13,255 --> 01:29:20,095
Speaker 3: Okay, there, have you done an asbestos test?

1668
01:29:21,975 --> 01:29:25,055
Speaker 4: The what s an asbestos?

1669
01:29:25,175 --> 01:29:25,335
Speaker 7: No?

1670
01:29:25,335 --> 01:29:29,935
Speaker 12: No, this is a wood product. Yeah, and I think

1671
01:29:29,935 --> 01:29:31,295
Speaker 12: it's called Mason Night.

1672
01:29:32,335 --> 01:29:36,095
Speaker 3: And look just it would be remissive me if I

1673
01:29:36,095 --> 01:29:40,015
Speaker 3: didn't raise this right because I'm I'm aware that in

1674
01:29:40,575 --> 01:29:43,935
Speaker 3: certain types of lino underlays and certain types of those

1675
01:29:44,095 --> 01:29:48,135
Speaker 3: that may snite board, there may well be asbestos containing

1676
01:29:48,175 --> 01:29:51,535
Speaker 3: material or ACM. And so before you go and do

1677
01:29:51,655 --> 01:29:55,255
Speaker 3: lots more work. Certainly, I hope that you're wearing a

1678
01:29:55,295 --> 01:29:59,055
Speaker 3: mask and those sorts of things, but I would suggest

1679
01:29:59,295 --> 01:30:01,455
Speaker 3: that you take a sample of it, send it off

1680
01:30:01,455 --> 01:30:03,855
Speaker 3: to an industrial laboratory. And there are lots of them

1681
01:30:03,855 --> 01:30:06,495
Speaker 3: that are or there are more of them available. Our

1682
01:30:06,935 --> 01:30:11,415
Speaker 3: testing is not uncommon, and just have for your own

1683
01:30:11,455 --> 01:30:15,175
Speaker 3: peace of mind, because even if during the removal, you know,

1684
01:30:15,535 --> 01:30:17,815
Speaker 3: if you're creating dust that's going to stay in the house,

1685
01:30:18,295 --> 01:30:22,255
Speaker 3: then you've effectively spread those asbestos fibers throughout the house.

1686
01:30:22,295 --> 01:30:28,775
Speaker 3: So have it tested before you do too much work

1687
01:30:28,855 --> 01:30:31,335
Speaker 3: would be my recommendation. What you do is up to you,

1688
01:30:31,375 --> 01:30:34,295
Speaker 3: but that I feel that I need to tell you

1689
01:30:34,335 --> 01:30:37,535
Speaker 3: that thank you for that. Yeah, no trouble at all.

1690
01:30:37,895 --> 01:30:39,975
Speaker 3: But yeah, and once it's done, I think if you've

1691
01:30:39,975 --> 01:30:42,495
Speaker 3: got most of them out and the last ones you sand,

1692
01:30:42,575 --> 01:30:44,215
Speaker 3: and if you don't like the look of them when

1693
01:30:44,255 --> 01:30:46,735
Speaker 3: you've sanded them, you could punch them and fill that

1694
01:30:47,055 --> 01:30:48,375
Speaker 3: and that'll be fine.

1695
01:30:49,495 --> 01:30:53,255
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm not that fussy about it. And you know

1696
01:30:53,295 --> 01:31:01,135
Speaker 12: they're like centers about ten so the hundreds.

1697
01:30:59,495 --> 01:31:05,095
Speaker 3: I am painfully aware of the work that you are doing.

1698
01:31:05,335 --> 01:31:07,575
Speaker 3: Someone has text through and said use pencers, but I

1699
01:31:07,615 --> 01:31:10,215
Speaker 3: actually think that by using the vice script you might

1700
01:31:10,255 --> 01:31:13,775
Speaker 3: be onto a winner there because the pencers, because they're

1701
01:31:13,775 --> 01:31:18,575
Speaker 3: designed to cut through material, will often end up there's

1702
01:31:18,575 --> 01:31:21,495
Speaker 3: a really fine juggling act with a set of pencers

1703
01:31:21,535 --> 01:31:25,455
Speaker 3: to get enough pressure to get purchase on the material

1704
01:31:25,535 --> 01:31:27,375
Speaker 3: so that you can leave it out. But if you

1705
01:31:27,495 --> 01:31:29,895
Speaker 3: press too hard on the pencer, you'll just cut through

1706
01:31:30,415 --> 01:31:32,655
Speaker 3: the staples. So I think using.

1707
01:31:33,695 --> 01:31:38,935
Speaker 12: Idea, yeah, I went to the princers initially, that's exactly

1708
01:31:38,975 --> 01:31:42,615
Speaker 12: what happened. Is it actually cut off a lot of

1709
01:31:42,655 --> 01:31:48,575
Speaker 12: the staples anyway, Okay, thank you, I'll try doing the

1710
01:31:48,615 --> 01:31:49,015
Speaker 12: tap bit.

1711
01:31:49,975 --> 01:31:50,615
Speaker 7: I think you're.

1712
01:31:53,615 --> 01:31:56,815
Speaker 3: Thanks all right, much appreciate it. You take care, thank

1713
01:31:56,855 --> 01:32:00,735
Speaker 3: you very much. All the best, Bob. Then that is

1714
01:32:00,855 --> 01:32:05,175
Speaker 3: one completely unpleasant job, as if you you know often

1715
01:32:08,015 --> 01:32:10,895
Speaker 3: so look at this text right there you go again

1716
01:32:10,935 --> 01:32:14,695
Speaker 3: with your over the top caution, so annoying. Have you

1717
01:32:14,735 --> 01:32:17,055
Speaker 3: ever been with someone who's died as a result of

1718
01:32:17,215 --> 01:32:23,935
Speaker 3: exposure to asbestos? You probably haven't, right, So the risk

1719
01:32:23,975 --> 01:32:27,535
Speaker 3: of exposure is real. So it's a sensible precaution in

1720
01:32:27,615 --> 01:32:31,055
Speaker 3: my mind. If you're going to spend hours getting down

1721
01:32:31,255 --> 01:32:33,335
Speaker 3: close to a material that you're going to break up

1722
01:32:33,375 --> 01:32:37,775
Speaker 3: and the fibers become friable as an airborne then I

1723
01:32:37,775 --> 01:32:42,455
Speaker 3: think it's a sensible precaution to test for asbestos. And

1724
01:32:42,535 --> 01:32:46,895
Speaker 3: I don't believe that that's over the top so annoying. Yeah, right,

1725
01:32:47,895 --> 01:32:50,055
Speaker 3: okay O eight hundred eighty ten eighty. We're going to

1726
01:32:50,335 --> 01:32:52,135
Speaker 3: track down Rudd, which is a bit of a challenge

1727
01:32:52,215 --> 01:32:54,335
Speaker 3: right now. So Rudd, time to go to the studio

1728
01:32:54,375 --> 01:32:57,535
Speaker 3: Sunshine I eight hundred eighty ten eighty. If you've got

1729
01:32:57,575 --> 01:33:01,015
Speaker 3: a question for Ridd, you can text through your questions

1730
01:33:01,095 --> 01:33:04,175
Speaker 3: through as well. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the

1731
01:33:04,255 --> 01:33:07,695
Speaker 3: number to call. Just on that staple room. There are

1732
01:33:07,775 --> 01:33:10,495
Speaker 3: staple removal tools like a little wedge that you can

1733
01:33:10,535 --> 01:33:15,175
Speaker 3: get underneath the harp of the staple or the staples

1734
01:33:15,215 --> 01:33:16,855
Speaker 3: go up, across and back down, so if you can

1735
01:33:16,855 --> 01:33:19,815
Speaker 3: get under there, sometimes you can leave them up if

1736
01:33:19,815 --> 01:33:22,135
Speaker 3: you can get under there. Often with that type of work,

1737
01:33:22,175 --> 01:33:25,015
Speaker 3: where the staple is held down the board, there's actually

1738
01:33:25,015 --> 01:33:28,095
Speaker 3: the remnants of the board trapped underneath the staple, hence

1739
01:33:28,215 --> 01:33:31,415
Speaker 3: using pliers or pincers to get to the top of

1740
01:33:31,455 --> 01:33:35,975
Speaker 3: the staple. I am so intimately involved with the removal

1741
01:33:35,975 --> 01:33:37,935
Speaker 3: of staples that it disturbs me that I know this

1742
01:33:38,095 --> 01:33:38,975
Speaker 3: much about doing them.

1743
01:33:39,055 --> 01:33:40,055
Speaker 4: I eight hundred eighty.

1744
01:33:40,175 --> 01:33:42,335
Speaker 3: Here we go remove the staples and breads by rocking

1745
01:33:42,375 --> 01:33:44,775
Speaker 3: back and forth, and then they break off below the surface.

1746
01:33:45,255 --> 01:33:49,895
Speaker 3: Interesting technique, not bad. People have obviously shared my pain

1747
01:33:50,015 --> 01:33:53,415
Speaker 3: with doing this particular job. I eight hundred eighty ten eighty.

1748
01:33:53,455 --> 01:33:55,615
Speaker 3: We'll take short break. We've got rid coming up in

1749
01:33:55,735 --> 01:34:08,015
Speaker 3: just a moment, just before we jump into the garden

1750
01:34:08,055 --> 01:34:12,095
Speaker 3: with Red climb Past who's on standby. I mentioned earlier

1751
01:34:12,215 --> 01:34:16,055
Speaker 3: that during the course of the week several discussions, been

1752
01:34:16,055 --> 01:34:18,375
Speaker 3: to a few events and that sort of thing, and

1753
01:34:19,015 --> 01:34:21,735
Speaker 3: ended up having a really good session with a young

1754
01:34:22,295 --> 01:34:25,575
Speaker 3: engineer Storm who has done a lot of research on

1755
01:34:25,775 --> 01:34:30,055
Speaker 3: ventilation in particular. So it's my intention sometime in the

1756
01:34:30,055 --> 01:34:32,815
Speaker 3: next couple of weeks to have her join me on

1757
01:34:32,855 --> 01:34:36,335
Speaker 3: the program to talk about ventilation again. It's one of

1758
01:34:36,375 --> 01:34:38,935
Speaker 3: those hot button topics at the moment because people are

1759
01:34:38,935 --> 01:34:42,655
Speaker 3: talking about H one in terms of the energy efficiency

1760
01:34:42,695 --> 01:34:45,615
Speaker 3: and the insulation requirements, and then people are going, well,

1761
01:34:45,655 --> 01:34:48,095
Speaker 3: because we're putting too much insulation at the houses, that's

1762
01:34:48,135 --> 01:34:51,615
Speaker 3: why they're overheating, which is not true, by the way,

1763
01:34:52,495 --> 01:34:56,855
Speaker 3: and we're starting to get understandably, but more focused on

1764
01:34:57,215 --> 01:35:01,015
Speaker 3: ventilation and air quality and ventilation requirements and so on.

1765
01:35:01,375 --> 01:35:04,695
Speaker 3: So it was delightful actually to sit with her and

1766
01:35:04,695 --> 01:35:08,655
Speaker 3: talk for a couple of hours about insulation, insulation, insulation

1767
01:35:08,855 --> 01:35:14,095
Speaker 3: and ventilation, particularly ventilation and ventilation standards and what systems work,

1768
01:35:14,135 --> 01:35:17,175
Speaker 3: and negative pressure and positive pressure and so on and

1769
01:35:17,175 --> 01:35:20,695
Speaker 3: so forth. So we'll take a deep dive into ventilation

1770
01:35:21,655 --> 01:35:26,495
Speaker 3: in the coming weeks. Righty, oh, we have Rid on standby.

1771
01:35:27,415 --> 01:35:30,655
Speaker 3: Rid's okay, we've got root, we don't have rit, we

1772
01:35:30,695 --> 01:35:33,495
Speaker 3: don't have rot right now, we might swap over and

1773
01:35:33,775 --> 01:35:36,015
Speaker 3: do that a slightly different way. If you've got any

1774
01:35:36,135 --> 01:35:38,975
Speaker 3: questions for it, then the lines are open and the

1775
01:35:39,055 --> 01:35:41,775
Speaker 3: number to call is eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.

1776
01:35:41,815 --> 01:35:43,895
Speaker 3: You can text through as well. A couple of people

1777
01:35:43,935 --> 01:35:48,695
Speaker 3: have already text through about Slimy Nostoc. Don't know anything

1778
01:35:48,695 --> 01:35:52,295
Speaker 3: about that. That's why Rid's on the show spraying roses

1779
01:35:52,375 --> 01:35:55,055
Speaker 3: with once they're pruned. We'll talk to Rid about that

1780
01:35:55,175 --> 01:35:58,575
Speaker 3: as well. Just on the asbestos, which was the last

1781
01:35:58,735 --> 01:36:02,695
Speaker 3: thing that we talked about on the program, let me

1782
01:36:02,815 --> 01:36:04,135
Speaker 3: just sort this out there.

1783
01:36:04,135 --> 01:36:04,575
Speaker 4: We go.

1784
01:36:06,495 --> 01:36:12,695
Speaker 3: On the we're talking about asbestos pete where we see

1785
01:36:12,735 --> 01:36:16,295
Speaker 3: floor sanders and we check every single floor that we uplift,

1786
01:36:16,375 --> 01:36:19,695
Speaker 3: and about five percent contain asbestos. While the thing would

1787
01:36:19,695 --> 01:36:21,615
Speaker 3: be if you want to be in that five percent

1788
01:36:21,695 --> 01:36:24,975
Speaker 3: and potentially expose yourselves to something that is going to

1789
01:36:25,015 --> 01:36:29,815
Speaker 3: have in detrimental impact on your health in the future. Right,

1790
01:36:29,815 --> 01:36:32,295
Speaker 3: we're going to get rid sort it out. If you

1791
01:36:32,335 --> 01:36:34,655
Speaker 3: would like to call and talk with Ridd, the lines

1792
01:36:34,695 --> 01:36:37,655
Speaker 3: are open. Might take the break now and then we'll

1793
01:36:37,655 --> 01:36:39,495
Speaker 3: come back, get Rid up and then we're into it.

1794
