A house is a hole 9 00:00:59,895 --> 00:01:04,615 Speaker 2: even when those goes, Even when you got around from 10 00:01:04,615 --> 00:01:09,735 Speaker 2: the world you love your move scream does pain to 11 00:01:09,775 --> 00:01:14,535 Speaker 2: be an in funder LOCALSSBRE when they're gone. 12 00:01:18,575 --> 00:01:20,935 Speaker 3: Well, very good morning, and welcome along to the Resident 13 00:01:20,975 --> 00:01:24,735 Speaker 3: Builder on Sunday. My name's Peak wolf Camp and this 14 00:01:24,975 --> 00:01:28,575 Speaker 3: is a program well pretty much all about your place. 15 00:01:28,615 --> 00:01:30,895 Speaker 3: So if you've got a project that's underway, or you've 16 00:01:30,895 --> 00:01:35,015 Speaker 3: got some house maintenance tasks that you want to undertake. 17 00:01:35,055 --> 00:01:37,655 Speaker 3: And I don't know whoever came up with the idea 18 00:01:37,855 --> 00:01:43,455 Speaker 3: of maintenance free, I think deserves well halfway decent flogging. 19 00:01:43,495 --> 00:01:46,335 Speaker 3: To be fair, there is no such thing. There's always 20 00:01:46,375 --> 00:01:48,855 Speaker 3: work to do. That's what I've spent a reasonable amount 21 00:01:48,895 --> 00:01:52,175 Speaker 3: of this week doing. With a fairly long list of 22 00:01:52,255 --> 00:01:55,215 Speaker 3: tasks to achieve over the summer months, and I'm guessing 23 00:01:55,255 --> 00:01:59,615 Speaker 3: that if you own or occupy a property, then you've 24 00:01:59,615 --> 00:02:02,895 Speaker 3: probably got that list similar to mine. Is in fact, 25 00:02:02,935 --> 00:02:05,055 Speaker 3: even this morning, as I tried to sneak out of 26 00:02:05,055 --> 00:02:08,015 Speaker 3: the house just a little bit quietly, notice that the 27 00:02:08,095 --> 00:02:11,255 Speaker 3: hinges on the front door have lost all of their 28 00:02:11,335 --> 00:02:15,895 Speaker 3: previous lubrication. And there's that gentle sort of squeaking sound 29 00:02:15,895 --> 00:02:18,375 Speaker 3: as I try and close the front door quietly without 30 00:02:18,615 --> 00:02:21,215 Speaker 3: waking the rest of the household. So that's another job 31 00:02:21,295 --> 00:02:23,815 Speaker 3: to go on the list. Do you actually make a list, 32 00:02:23,855 --> 00:02:26,495 Speaker 3: That'll be an interesting question too, or is it just 33 00:02:26,535 --> 00:02:28,615 Speaker 3: that thing that sort of rumbles round in your head, going, 34 00:02:28,655 --> 00:02:30,015 Speaker 3: I've got to do. I've got to do. I've got 35 00:02:30,055 --> 00:02:31,335 Speaker 3: to do. I've got to get that done. I've got 36 00:02:31,335 --> 00:02:33,215 Speaker 3: to get that sorted out. Anyway, if we want to 37 00:02:33,255 --> 00:02:36,455 Speaker 3: talk building all morning till right through till nine o'clock, 38 00:02:36,695 --> 00:02:39,535 Speaker 3: we will do exactly that. Eight hundred and eighty ten 39 00:02:39,655 --> 00:02:41,495 Speaker 3: eighty is the number to call. I trust you've had 40 00:02:41,535 --> 00:02:43,975 Speaker 3: a good week. If you might have had just a 41 00:02:44,095 --> 00:02:46,695 Speaker 3: slightly sleepless week as you've been catching up with the 42 00:02:46,695 --> 00:02:51,455 Speaker 3: America's Cup racing off bus Slona that has now come 43 00:02:51,495 --> 00:02:55,615 Speaker 3: to a conclusion and of course congratulations to Emirates Team 44 00:02:55,615 --> 00:02:59,975 Speaker 3: New Zealand for a fantastic victory there. So at around 45 00:03:00,415 --> 00:03:03,175 Speaker 3: six thirty this morning, actually we're going to touch base 46 00:03:03,255 --> 00:03:07,335 Speaker 3: with Richard from Razine. He's part of the Automotive and 47 00:03:07,455 --> 00:03:13,055 Speaker 3: Specialist Finisher's division Coating's division, and it's basically we might 48 00:03:13,095 --> 00:03:15,015 Speaker 3: have found the secret source for the reason that the 49 00:03:15,015 --> 00:03:18,215 Speaker 3: New Zealand boat is so fast, and that is pretty 50 00:03:18,255 --> 00:03:21,575 Speaker 3: much that it's covered in razine coatings. So anyway, he's 51 00:03:21,615 --> 00:03:23,735 Speaker 3: there in Barcelona, so we'll get a sense of the 52 00:03:23,855 --> 00:03:27,255 Speaker 3: vibe and also just an insight into what goes into 53 00:03:27,375 --> 00:03:31,855 Speaker 3: the technology and the development behind razine coatings that allow 54 00:03:31,935 --> 00:03:35,455 Speaker 3: it to be applied to those vessels and apparently possibly 55 00:03:35,535 --> 00:03:38,695 Speaker 3: to a number of other nations America's cupboats as well, 56 00:03:38,815 --> 00:03:40,695 Speaker 3: So we touch base with them at around six thirty. 57 00:03:41,175 --> 00:03:44,175 Speaker 3: Then we will also touch base with our regular contributor 58 00:03:44,255 --> 00:03:49,055 Speaker 3: from Razine, So painting questions, specific painting questions from seven 59 00:03:49,175 --> 00:03:52,535 Speaker 3: thirty this morning. Bryce McDermott, our painting expert from Razine, 60 00:03:52,575 --> 00:03:55,335 Speaker 3: will be joining us then so you can text through 61 00:03:55,415 --> 00:03:59,815 Speaker 3: your questions. Any specific painting questions. Nine to ninety two 62 00:03:59,895 --> 00:04:03,415 Speaker 3: is the text number is BZB. We'll take those. And 63 00:04:03,455 --> 00:04:05,495 Speaker 3: then I had a chance this week just leting you 64 00:04:05,535 --> 00:04:07,895 Speaker 3: know what's coming up on the show today, to catch 65 00:04:07,975 --> 00:04:11,175 Speaker 3: up with Marlon Johnson, who is from Late four Solar, 66 00:04:11,175 --> 00:04:14,295 Speaker 3: who are the sponsors of the show, and we were 67 00:04:14,335 --> 00:04:17,215 Speaker 3: talking about solar and we had Marlon on a couple 68 00:04:17,255 --> 00:04:20,335 Speaker 3: of months ago just to talk about solar panels, how 69 00:04:20,335 --> 00:04:23,055 Speaker 3: they work, installation, where you can put them where you can't. 70 00:04:23,255 --> 00:04:25,015 Speaker 3: But what we didn't really get a chance to talk 71 00:04:25,055 --> 00:04:27,975 Speaker 3: about is batteries and how the two combine and the 72 00:04:28,055 --> 00:04:33,095 Speaker 3: interconnection between those two parts of a solar setup. So 73 00:04:33,175 --> 00:04:35,375 Speaker 3: I've invited Marlin to come back on the show. He'll 74 00:04:35,415 --> 00:04:37,455 Speaker 3: be with us after eight o'clock. And if you've ever 75 00:04:37,575 --> 00:04:41,255 Speaker 3: had a question about solar, so in our first interview 76 00:04:41,255 --> 00:04:43,455 Speaker 3: we didn't get a chance to take any of your questions. 77 00:04:44,095 --> 00:04:47,135 Speaker 3: At eight o'clock this morning, we'll take your questions about 78 00:04:47,175 --> 00:04:49,335 Speaker 3: sola if you've got it and you want to ask 79 00:04:49,375 --> 00:04:51,855 Speaker 3: a couple of questions, if you're thinking about it, if 80 00:04:51,855 --> 00:04:54,855 Speaker 3: you're unsure, if you're unsure about the impact of having 81 00:04:55,295 --> 00:04:59,695 Speaker 3: combining solar generation with battery storage, you might have a 82 00:04:59,775 --> 00:05:03,415 Speaker 3: question on that will take your text questions on all 83 00:05:03,495 --> 00:05:07,775 Speaker 3: things solar after eight o'clock and of course thirty at 84 00:05:07,895 --> 00:05:10,975 Speaker 3: climb Past will be in his studio which is in 85 00:05:11,055 --> 00:05:14,255 Speaker 3: christ Church, and he will join us and we will 86 00:05:14,295 --> 00:05:17,975 Speaker 3: talk all things gardening and the wonderful world of bugs 87 00:05:18,015 --> 00:05:20,575 Speaker 3: as well. So it's a busy old show. It'll get 88 00:05:20,895 --> 00:05:23,735 Speaker 3: pretty chopper later on. If you've got a question right now, 89 00:05:23,735 --> 00:05:25,695 Speaker 3: if you've got a project like me, and you're thinking, 90 00:05:25,775 --> 00:05:28,135 Speaker 3: I've got to do something about that squeaky door, or 91 00:05:28,455 --> 00:05:32,255 Speaker 3: maybe it's a little bit more significant, i e. You know, 92 00:05:32,735 --> 00:05:35,655 Speaker 3: might have discovered a leak, or you've got some rot 93 00:05:35,735 --> 00:05:38,815 Speaker 3: that you've seen. I mean, it's terrible in a sense 94 00:05:38,855 --> 00:05:41,135 Speaker 3: doing the job that I do, because everywhere I walk 95 00:05:41,255 --> 00:05:43,735 Speaker 3: I'm looking for things. And I pulled up at my 96 00:05:43,815 --> 00:05:47,095 Speaker 3: brother in law's to place yesterday to drop something off, 97 00:05:47,135 --> 00:05:49,935 Speaker 3: and I cast a glimpse across at the neighbors the 98 00:05:50,015 --> 00:05:52,135 Speaker 3: upstairs windows, and I was thinking, gosh, you know, if 99 00:05:52,135 --> 00:05:55,535 Speaker 3: you don't get onto maintaining those soon, it's going to 100 00:05:55,575 --> 00:05:58,615 Speaker 3: become a really big job. I mean, it's a beautiful 101 00:05:58,655 --> 00:06:01,095 Speaker 3: house and it was well built. I remember the extension 102 00:06:01,135 --> 00:06:04,255 Speaker 3: being added on, but it's timber and it's timber facings 103 00:06:04,255 --> 00:06:05,975 Speaker 3: around the window, and it's in a part of the 104 00:06:05,975 --> 00:06:09,055 Speaker 3: house that you wouldn't necessarily walk by every time, and 105 00:06:09,095 --> 00:06:11,095 Speaker 3: you can just see a little bit of mold growth 106 00:06:11,095 --> 00:06:13,935 Speaker 3: starting to come. You can see the paint starting to 107 00:06:14,015 --> 00:06:17,535 Speaker 3: peel off or split away. And if you don't get 108 00:06:17,615 --> 00:06:19,775 Speaker 3: up there in the next year or so, it's going 109 00:06:19,815 --> 00:06:24,495 Speaker 3: to become a replacement job rather than regular repair and maintenance. 110 00:06:24,495 --> 00:06:27,095 Speaker 3: And that's what we're looking to avoid, is that whole 111 00:06:27,135 --> 00:06:30,375 Speaker 3: thing around having if you do the maintenance, then maybe 112 00:06:30,375 --> 00:06:32,735 Speaker 3: you don't have to go to the expense of repairs 113 00:06:32,815 --> 00:06:37,415 Speaker 3: later on. Maybe someone could have told Ekipnuku that. In Auckland, 114 00:06:37,575 --> 00:06:40,935 Speaker 3: a huge embarrassment for the city, I think is the 115 00:06:40,935 --> 00:06:43,855 Speaker 3: fact that the bridge, so we've spent all that time 116 00:06:43,935 --> 00:06:48,615 Speaker 3: developing the viaduct put in a funky bridge. Apparently temporarily 117 00:06:48,775 --> 00:06:52,695 Speaker 3: it was temporary back in twenty eleven or something like 118 00:06:52,735 --> 00:06:55,895 Speaker 3: that for the America's Cup and then somebody forgot to 119 00:06:55,895 --> 00:06:58,775 Speaker 3: boil the hinges and the next thing, Orgland councils up 120 00:06:58,815 --> 00:07:01,015 Speaker 3: for ten million dollars to repair it, and it's been 121 00:07:01,055 --> 00:07:04,415 Speaker 3: a massive disruption. But anyway, I only mentioned that because 122 00:07:04,415 --> 00:07:06,575 Speaker 3: I was down that part of town the other night, 123 00:07:06,615 --> 00:07:09,095 Speaker 3: thinking well, I could have taken the ferry and walked 124 00:07:09,215 --> 00:07:12,455 Speaker 3: if the bridge was working, but it's not, and so 125 00:07:12,695 --> 00:07:15,575 Speaker 3: I ended up driving, which is not what I wanted 126 00:07:15,615 --> 00:07:18,215 Speaker 3: to do. Anyway, my rant is over. It is your 127 00:07:18,215 --> 00:07:20,535 Speaker 3: turn to rant, to rage and just have a bit 128 00:07:20,535 --> 00:07:23,175 Speaker 3: of a chat. Really, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is 129 00:07:23,215 --> 00:07:25,015 Speaker 3: the number to call if you've got a question of 130 00:07:25,015 --> 00:07:28,775 Speaker 3: a building nature. We're into it. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty. 131 00:07:28,815 --> 00:07:32,415 Speaker 3: Welcome and good morning to you. Chris. Hello there, good 132 00:07:32,655 --> 00:07:39,815 Speaker 3: chrisp hang on, it's there we go, Chris, Good morning, Chris. 133 00:07:40,615 --> 00:07:42,615 Speaker 4: Mate. It's a bit of a pathetic question to be 134 00:07:42,615 --> 00:07:47,335 Speaker 4: honest at all. But basically, I've got an old one 135 00:07:47,335 --> 00:07:51,375 Speaker 4: of those houses that have been shipped right for aiding ninety. 136 00:07:51,335 --> 00:07:54,615 Speaker 5: Circus on the door of the door on it has 137 00:07:54,655 --> 00:08:00,615 Speaker 5: got three hinges, yes, the middle one the hinge pin 138 00:08:00,735 --> 00:08:01,775 Speaker 5: that goes them from the top. 139 00:08:03,215 --> 00:08:07,215 Speaker 4: It's been fined for twenty odd years, but it's started 140 00:08:07,215 --> 00:08:10,415 Speaker 4: to creep out all time, and it makes horrible screeching 141 00:08:10,495 --> 00:08:13,015 Speaker 4: noises when it hits seened. So I think they sort 142 00:08:13,055 --> 00:08:16,215 Speaker 4: of keep hamming it back in. And I wasn't sure 143 00:08:16,255 --> 00:08:18,415 Speaker 4: what the best way of holding in an ereror is 144 00:08:18,455 --> 00:08:21,015 Speaker 4: whether it was I was going to try seperately, but 145 00:08:21,055 --> 00:08:24,015 Speaker 4: then I thought that might stop the hinge working even worse. 146 00:08:26,535 --> 00:08:29,415 Speaker 3: So when you say the hinge, when you say the 147 00:08:29,455 --> 00:08:32,615 Speaker 3: hinges working out, is it that the screws have started 148 00:08:32,615 --> 00:08:35,455 Speaker 3: to Because what happens is over time, of course the 149 00:08:35,535 --> 00:08:38,615 Speaker 3: screw you know, the tension on the timber, and especially 150 00:08:38,615 --> 00:08:41,215 Speaker 3: if the hinge is not working particularly well, it starts 151 00:08:41,215 --> 00:08:43,175 Speaker 3: to pull on those screws and they'll pull out from 152 00:08:43,175 --> 00:08:43,655 Speaker 3: the timber. 153 00:08:43,975 --> 00:08:48,055 Speaker 5: Is that what's happening, that's the center hinge. 154 00:08:48,695 --> 00:08:51,735 Speaker 3: Oh, the pin itself is dropping out. 155 00:08:51,735 --> 00:08:55,295 Speaker 4: Pulling out. It's from the top, so it's pulling out 156 00:08:55,415 --> 00:08:56,775 Speaker 4: top ways. 157 00:08:58,055 --> 00:09:04,055 Speaker 3: So what it's rising? Yeah, ah, unusual. I mean gravity 158 00:09:04,455 --> 00:09:06,175 Speaker 3: typically tends to take care of that. 159 00:09:07,175 --> 00:09:08,335 Speaker 6: Yeah, you think so that. 160 00:09:09,255 --> 00:09:12,175 Speaker 4: It's kind of a it's between the lounge and our 161 00:09:12,415 --> 00:09:15,575 Speaker 4: hallway and bedroom, so it's kind of used all the time, 162 00:09:15,695 --> 00:09:19,895 Speaker 4: So continuous squeaking. Sometimes I just don't bother thirteam for 163 00:09:19,935 --> 00:09:22,175 Speaker 4: a better week, but it just gets irritating. 164 00:09:23,975 --> 00:09:27,055 Speaker 3: Understandably, it is a bit unusual that the pin works 165 00:09:27,055 --> 00:09:29,455 Speaker 3: its way up the hinge might be misaligned or something 166 00:09:29,495 --> 00:09:32,295 Speaker 3: like that. Look I would I would probably just tap 167 00:09:32,335 --> 00:09:34,575 Speaker 3: it back. And if you tap it back in, how 168 00:09:34,615 --> 00:09:36,655 Speaker 3: long does it take for it to start rising again? 169 00:09:37,495 --> 00:09:38,135 Speaker 4: A bet a week? 170 00:09:38,855 --> 00:09:44,255 Speaker 3: About a week? Man, it must be out of alignment. 171 00:09:45,695 --> 00:09:47,895 Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought that were either some sort of pressure things. 172 00:09:49,575 --> 00:09:51,455 Speaker 3: I mean, look, if you wanted to, what you could 173 00:09:51,495 --> 00:09:53,855 Speaker 3: try and do is tap it out right, So tap 174 00:09:53,895 --> 00:09:56,095 Speaker 3: the pin out all the way to the top. And 175 00:09:56,335 --> 00:10:01,015 Speaker 3: it must be a replacement hinge, because old hinges like 176 00:10:01,055 --> 00:10:05,015 Speaker 3: that don't. You can't tap the pin out. It's only 177 00:10:05,215 --> 00:10:07,575 Speaker 3: more modern hinges where you can tap the pin out 178 00:10:07,655 --> 00:10:11,135 Speaker 3: in some cases. So some hinges have got the pin 179 00:10:11,255 --> 00:10:13,535 Speaker 3: is sealed at both ends or it's rounded over, so 180 00:10:13,615 --> 00:10:15,735 Speaker 3: you can't remove the pin, which stops someone taking the 181 00:10:15,775 --> 00:10:17,815 Speaker 3: pins out and lifting the door off and breaking into 182 00:10:17,815 --> 00:10:21,735 Speaker 3: your house. Or most domestic doors have the pin that 183 00:10:21,855 --> 00:10:25,055 Speaker 3: drops in from the top. Gravity holds it in place effectively, 184 00:10:25,775 --> 00:10:27,575 Speaker 3: and if you ever need to take the door off, 185 00:10:27,575 --> 00:10:29,535 Speaker 3: you can just knock the pin out and take it out. 186 00:10:30,295 --> 00:10:32,935 Speaker 3: I would say, probably if it's working its way out, 187 00:10:33,455 --> 00:10:36,095 Speaker 3: I'd knock it out, So just use a nail punch 188 00:10:36,175 --> 00:10:38,535 Speaker 3: to drive it up and then hok it out. Give 189 00:10:38,575 --> 00:10:40,495 Speaker 3: the actual pin a bit of a sand put a 190 00:10:40,535 --> 00:10:45,455 Speaker 3: little bit of you can get special like graphite lubricants 191 00:10:45,815 --> 00:10:48,575 Speaker 3: that work particularly well on hinges and hardware and door 192 00:10:48,615 --> 00:10:50,695 Speaker 3: locks and things like that. A little bit of that, 193 00:10:50,935 --> 00:10:53,055 Speaker 3: drop that back in and that should just free it 194 00:10:53,135 --> 00:10:56,095 Speaker 3: up enough that it'll stay in place, would be my suggestion. 195 00:10:56,255 --> 00:10:58,415 Speaker 3: I think someone else has text through the same thing. 196 00:10:58,455 --> 00:11:00,935 Speaker 3: So Chris, good luck on that one. If it's type 197 00:11:00,975 --> 00:11:03,055 Speaker 3: removed sand loop and put back in place. 198 00:11:03,135 --> 00:11:03,375 Speaker 6: Yep. 199 00:11:03,495 --> 00:11:06,855 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And there are these. I had it for some 200 00:11:07,015 --> 00:11:10,655 Speaker 3: door locks, like actually putting inside the door lock every 201 00:11:10,655 --> 00:11:13,215 Speaker 3: now and then they can get a bit corroded or 202 00:11:13,215 --> 00:11:15,575 Speaker 3: exposed or something like that. And there's a special type 203 00:11:15,575 --> 00:11:18,735 Speaker 3: of graphite lubricant so it's actually feels like it's a 204 00:11:18,775 --> 00:11:21,935 Speaker 3: black powdery type material. You biden a little bottle and 205 00:11:22,055 --> 00:11:24,815 Speaker 3: just inject that into the locks as well. That makes 206 00:11:24,855 --> 00:11:27,135 Speaker 3: a big difference. But there is also what I pick 207 00:11:27,215 --> 00:11:30,495 Speaker 3: up the other day, some garage door. So if you've 208 00:11:30,535 --> 00:11:34,015 Speaker 3: got an older sort of sliding track garage door, and 209 00:11:34,215 --> 00:11:38,855 Speaker 3: again lubricant on that has deteriorated, you can apply it's 210 00:11:38,895 --> 00:11:40,895 Speaker 3: out of a spray into the air as well. So 211 00:11:40,935 --> 00:11:43,215 Speaker 3: there's some good stuff out there. Oh eight hundred eighty 212 00:11:43,295 --> 00:11:45,975 Speaker 3: ten eighty. Were talking all things building in construction this 213 00:11:46,015 --> 00:11:48,295 Speaker 3: morning on the program. If you've got a question of 214 00:11:48,335 --> 00:11:50,935 Speaker 3: a building nature, oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is 215 00:11:50,975 --> 00:11:53,095 Speaker 3: the number. So out of the corner of my eye, 216 00:11:53,095 --> 00:11:55,775 Speaker 3: I've also got I've got a couple of TV screens 217 00:11:55,815 --> 00:11:59,015 Speaker 3: on here in the studio and it is kind of 218 00:11:59,055 --> 00:12:02,015 Speaker 3: exciting to watch Liam Lawson getting kitted up and ready 219 00:12:02,055 --> 00:12:05,455 Speaker 3: to go out American Grand Prix, and Austin is on 220 00:12:06,375 --> 00:12:08,615 Speaker 3: for this weekend as well, and of course he's now 221 00:12:08,615 --> 00:12:12,215 Speaker 3: got a full time drive. So Kiwi's winning the America's Cup. 222 00:12:12,295 --> 00:12:15,215 Speaker 3: Kiwi's in the Formula one. It's not bad. 223 00:12:15,255 --> 00:12:15,375 Speaker 7: Ah. 224 00:12:15,495 --> 00:12:17,375 Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number 225 00:12:17,375 --> 00:12:20,015 Speaker 3: to call quick text hey Pete. I'm in the process 226 00:12:20,055 --> 00:12:22,775 Speaker 3: of doing up the on suite of a nineteen seventy 227 00:12:22,855 --> 00:12:26,215 Speaker 3: six house. The shower as one hundred and thirty five 228 00:12:26,255 --> 00:12:30,655 Speaker 3: by eighteen timber around the shower opening pretty typical. The 229 00:12:30,695 --> 00:12:33,295 Speaker 3: timber has rotted out in one corner, leaving a very 230 00:12:33,335 --> 00:12:36,455 Speaker 3: small spot of rot and a little bit of black mold. 231 00:12:36,535 --> 00:12:39,415 Speaker 3: Am I better off treating this with something or dig 232 00:12:39,455 --> 00:12:43,055 Speaker 3: out the minimum minimal damage and use something like Builder's bob. 233 00:12:43,135 --> 00:12:45,895 Speaker 3: Before sealing well and replacing the timber, I will be 234 00:12:45,935 --> 00:12:50,455 Speaker 3: adding some powder coated aluminum trim to stop it happening again, Jim. 235 00:12:50,575 --> 00:12:54,175 Speaker 3: If it's small ish, like the size of a head 236 00:12:54,175 --> 00:12:57,135 Speaker 3: of a hammer, let's say, then yeah, you could probably 237 00:12:57,375 --> 00:12:59,215 Speaker 3: rather than strip out the whole thing and have to 238 00:12:59,815 --> 00:13:03,575 Speaker 3: go through the rebuild process, would I would cut out 239 00:13:03,695 --> 00:13:07,175 Speaker 3: or fetch out any rotten material in there. I would 240 00:13:07,215 --> 00:13:11,335 Speaker 3: treat the timber with a timber preservative so protein, frame, savor, 241 00:13:12,175 --> 00:13:15,895 Speaker 3: metal X, anything like that, let that dry thoroughly. I 242 00:13:16,055 --> 00:13:18,855 Speaker 3: probably wouldn't use and I use Builder's bog, but I 243 00:13:18,855 --> 00:13:21,975 Speaker 3: wouldn't use it in that situation. I would use something 244 00:13:22,215 --> 00:13:25,855 Speaker 3: like repair Care, which is a two pot sort of 245 00:13:25,895 --> 00:13:28,615 Speaker 3: it's a mixture of an adhesive and a filler and 246 00:13:28,695 --> 00:13:31,815 Speaker 3: a POxy filler. Actually, as it happens, you can get 247 00:13:31,815 --> 00:13:35,375 Speaker 3: it at razine color stores, So repair Care use that 248 00:13:35,575 --> 00:13:40,095 Speaker 3: to fill the area and then send that off. And 249 00:13:40,215 --> 00:13:43,415 Speaker 3: I would paint the whole thing with an ideally an 250 00:13:43,455 --> 00:13:46,335 Speaker 3: oil based enamel or at least a water borne enamel 251 00:13:46,975 --> 00:13:49,015 Speaker 3: over there. And yes, adding a trim to keep that 252 00:13:49,095 --> 00:13:51,055 Speaker 3: moisture away would be a good idea, but I think 253 00:13:51,055 --> 00:13:54,775 Speaker 3: if it's relatively small, absolutely use something like repair care. 254 00:13:54,775 --> 00:13:56,575 Speaker 3: It'll work well. Good luck to you, Jim. We then 255 00:13:56,695 --> 00:13:59,095 Speaker 3: take short break. We're going to talk to Crystal in 256 00:13:59,215 --> 00:14:02,255 Speaker 3: just a moment. Your newstalks'd be we're taking your calls. 257 00:14:02,295 --> 00:14:04,975 Speaker 3: We're also taking your texts. Apparently it is a common 258 00:14:05,015 --> 00:14:07,495 Speaker 3: problem with the pin working its way out. Take the 259 00:14:07,535 --> 00:14:11,975 Speaker 3: pin out, replaced from the bottom. Problem fixed. Take the 260 00:14:12,015 --> 00:14:16,655 Speaker 3: pin out and replace from the bottom. Yeah, I think 261 00:14:16,655 --> 00:14:18,975 Speaker 3: that makes sense. Oh, eight hundred and eighty. Ten eighty 262 00:14:19,015 --> 00:14:21,095 Speaker 3: is the number to call Crystal. Good morning to you. 263 00:14:21,855 --> 00:14:23,615 Speaker 8: Good morning. Normally when you pull the pin, it's a 264 00:14:23,615 --> 00:14:27,575 Speaker 8: hand grenade on the end of this very good. So 265 00:14:27,615 --> 00:14:30,255 Speaker 8: with again, what I would do is just dot punch 266 00:14:30,295 --> 00:14:32,575 Speaker 8: the top of it around the circumference of the pin, 267 00:14:32,615 --> 00:14:34,855 Speaker 8: you know, put swage at little dot punches, and then 268 00:14:34,895 --> 00:14:37,575 Speaker 8: it effectively swages a pin out a big wider and 269 00:14:37,575 --> 00:14:39,975 Speaker 8: then tap it back and that should work right because 270 00:14:40,935 --> 00:14:43,335 Speaker 8: the doors o'ten closing, it's like it's like riding it up. 271 00:14:43,295 --> 00:14:43,975 Speaker 6: And riding up. 272 00:14:44,055 --> 00:14:47,895 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that's the first thing. Second thing, so you 273 00:14:47,935 --> 00:14:50,375 Speaker 8: know the windows days, when you open your window, you 274 00:14:50,455 --> 00:14:52,015 Speaker 8: got a little holes and so you can latch the 275 00:14:52,015 --> 00:14:53,375 Speaker 8: window in the summer. 276 00:14:53,655 --> 00:14:55,455 Speaker 3: Yes, I've got them. 277 00:14:55,335 --> 00:14:57,175 Speaker 8: All of my windows, and some of the good condition, 278 00:14:57,215 --> 00:14:59,375 Speaker 8: but a lot of them are very old. And yes, 279 00:14:59,415 --> 00:15:01,215 Speaker 8: I could spend hours pannel being the mount and trying 280 00:15:01,215 --> 00:15:03,935 Speaker 8: to fix them. Where would I buy new ones to 281 00:15:04,015 --> 00:15:06,735 Speaker 8: replace those at a reasonable price? Like Michael ten months 282 00:15:06,775 --> 00:15:09,135 Speaker 8: sixty bucks the one. So is there somewhere else you could? 283 00:15:09,175 --> 00:15:09,415 Speaker 4: She did? 284 00:15:09,535 --> 00:15:12,175 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that that's kind of the price that they are. 285 00:15:12,295 --> 00:15:14,895 Speaker 3: And I've because I used to do a lot of 286 00:15:14,935 --> 00:15:17,895 Speaker 3: work on sort of not quite well heretage homes or 287 00:15:17,935 --> 00:15:20,495 Speaker 3: homes with timber joinery, and every now and then, if 288 00:15:20,495 --> 00:15:22,415 Speaker 3: you were doing a refirb you would you'd go and 289 00:15:22,415 --> 00:15:26,095 Speaker 3: buy some more of those days. And yes, they are expensive. 290 00:15:26,935 --> 00:15:29,735 Speaker 3: I guess your other option is if you're looking for something, 291 00:15:31,655 --> 00:15:35,375 Speaker 3: you could try demolition yards. Yes, but then of course 292 00:15:35,375 --> 00:15:37,335 Speaker 3: you are going to end up with something at secondhand 293 00:15:37,695 --> 00:15:43,095 Speaker 3: and might require some work. Yeah. Are they what sort 294 00:15:43,135 --> 00:15:45,615 Speaker 3: of vintage are they? Nineteen thirties, nineteen sixties? 295 00:15:46,975 --> 00:15:48,415 Speaker 8: You know they're a mixture of all sorts. 296 00:15:48,615 --> 00:15:51,055 Speaker 6: Yeah, mismatched. 297 00:15:51,375 --> 00:15:53,975 Speaker 8: I would have a look at a websites called Screwfix 298 00:15:54,415 --> 00:15:56,215 Speaker 8: in the UK. Have a look there and then don't 299 00:15:56,295 --> 00:15:57,495 Speaker 8: have a look at the prices, you'll be. 300 00:15:57,535 --> 00:16:01,335 Speaker 3: Just look in crystal. I'm in a sense the same. 301 00:16:01,415 --> 00:16:03,455 Speaker 3: I go to the States and I go to hammer 302 00:16:03,535 --> 00:16:06,855 Speaker 3: to what is it home Depot or Low's or Rockler 303 00:16:07,175 --> 00:16:09,655 Speaker 3: or somewhere like that, and I look at the prices 304 00:16:09,655 --> 00:16:14,535 Speaker 3: sometimes and I do despair, saying that actually just doesn't aside. 305 00:16:15,015 --> 00:16:17,735 Speaker 3: Last time we were up there, I did go to 306 00:16:18,295 --> 00:16:20,775 Speaker 3: a home depot store and have a look at like 307 00:16:20,815 --> 00:16:23,135 Speaker 3: the price of plaster board. So an eight x four 308 00:16:23,175 --> 00:16:27,015 Speaker 3: plaster board sheet in the States was about twelve or 309 00:16:27,095 --> 00:16:30,455 Speaker 3: thirteen US dollars, which is not a million miles away 310 00:16:30,495 --> 00:16:32,775 Speaker 3: from what we pay here. And I kind of cruised 311 00:16:32,775 --> 00:16:34,575 Speaker 3: around they had a look at lumber and it wasn't 312 00:16:35,375 --> 00:16:41,455 Speaker 3: terribly different in price. Things like paint and sometimes tools 313 00:16:41,535 --> 00:16:44,495 Speaker 3: to some degree I buy us time. I was, yeah, 314 00:16:44,535 --> 00:16:48,095 Speaker 3: some stuff is cheaper, but not necessarily by a massive amount. 315 00:16:48,255 --> 00:16:53,015 Speaker 3: But look with the hardware, yeah, I look. Demolition yards 316 00:16:53,015 --> 00:16:57,175 Speaker 3: are great, and there is obviously that great delight in 317 00:16:57,215 --> 00:17:00,215 Speaker 3: being able to reuse something rather than sending it off 318 00:17:00,215 --> 00:17:03,655 Speaker 3: to landfill or recycling, so there's an upside to that, 319 00:17:04,015 --> 00:17:07,255 Speaker 3: But otherwise, yeah, they are expensive. 320 00:17:08,135 --> 00:17:09,975 Speaker 8: Can I even forgges something that you might like to 321 00:17:09,975 --> 00:17:12,495 Speaker 8: look at. Have you ever heard of Sibsey. Sibsey is 322 00:17:12,535 --> 00:17:16,495 Speaker 8: a society of international building engineers and it's all things building. 323 00:17:16,575 --> 00:17:21,135 Speaker 8: They develop maintenance regimes and programs with Sibsey Wellington Google. 324 00:17:21,255 --> 00:17:22,975 Speaker 8: Have a look up. There's a lot of free semmars 325 00:17:23,015 --> 00:17:26,375 Speaker 8: and things on solar, on maintenance regimes, all sorts of stuff. 326 00:17:26,375 --> 00:17:29,255 Speaker 8: And it's the worldwide governing body on all things maintenance 327 00:17:29,295 --> 00:17:32,535 Speaker 8: for buildings. And they even produce hit to pay for them. 328 00:17:32,535 --> 00:17:36,695 Speaker 8: But they produce maintenance planners and maintenance regimes, you know, monthly, quarterly, 329 00:17:36,735 --> 00:17:38,575 Speaker 8: annual checks. 330 00:17:38,935 --> 00:17:39,655 Speaker 9: Yeah, have a look at it. 331 00:17:39,935 --> 00:17:42,655 Speaker 3: Look much appreciated. Good luck with the hardware, all the 332 00:17:42,655 --> 00:17:46,135 Speaker 3: best chrystals. Always likes to check take care bother there. 333 00:17:46,375 --> 00:17:48,175 Speaker 3: Oh eight, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the 334 00:17:48,255 --> 00:17:50,575 Speaker 3: number to call now if you've been captivated as I 335 00:17:50,615 --> 00:17:53,135 Speaker 3: have to some degree by the America's Cup racing and 336 00:17:53,255 --> 00:17:56,335 Speaker 3: have been. I mean, I'm still pretty convinced by fossic 337 00:17:56,455 --> 00:17:58,215 Speaker 3: Around the back of the dry I could probably find 338 00:17:58,255 --> 00:18:00,255 Speaker 3: a pair of red socks from back in the day. 339 00:18:01,295 --> 00:18:05,015 Speaker 3: But I did actually wait reasonably early this morning and 340 00:18:05,055 --> 00:18:08,215 Speaker 3: watch the final race of the Louis Vu Tom Cup, 341 00:18:08,855 --> 00:18:11,615 Speaker 3: meaning that the Team New Zealand Emirates Team New Zealand 342 00:18:11,655 --> 00:18:15,575 Speaker 3: have again not only won it, but defended it two 343 00:18:15,655 --> 00:18:17,935 Speaker 3: times in a row, so three in the modern era, 344 00:18:18,055 --> 00:18:20,495 Speaker 3: this is quite unusual. This is quite remarkable for a 345 00:18:20,535 --> 00:18:22,655 Speaker 3: team to win three times in a row, which is 346 00:18:22,735 --> 00:18:25,415 Speaker 3: exactly what Emorates Team New Zealand have done. And then 347 00:18:25,455 --> 00:18:28,415 Speaker 3: I was chatting with a guy during the week from Razine. 348 00:18:28,415 --> 00:18:30,775 Speaker 3: He goes, did you know that, as it happens, the 349 00:18:30,815 --> 00:18:35,135 Speaker 3: boat has Razine coatings on it, as in, over the 350 00:18:35,175 --> 00:18:38,095 Speaker 3: top of all of that fancy carbon fiber, they do 351 00:18:38,175 --> 00:18:41,255 Speaker 3: apply a coat and that coat is made by Razine. 352 00:18:41,615 --> 00:18:45,055 Speaker 3: And one of the people involved in that is Richard 353 00:18:45,575 --> 00:18:49,055 Speaker 3: Mearhead from Razine, part of their Automotive and Light Industrial 354 00:18:49,415 --> 00:18:52,775 Speaker 3: Coating's division. Richard, A very well, good evening to you 355 00:18:52,815 --> 00:18:53,615 Speaker 3: in Barcelona. 356 00:18:54,855 --> 00:18:57,215 Speaker 10: Yeah, good evening, teat How are you, critics. 357 00:18:56,815 --> 00:18:59,415 Speaker 3: I'm very well and I would imagine it's a fairly 358 00:18:59,535 --> 00:19:02,015 Speaker 3: festive atmosphere where you might be it Right. 359 00:19:01,855 --> 00:19:05,255 Speaker 10: Now, I'm about one hundred yards from the main stage 360 00:19:05,295 --> 00:19:08,975 Speaker 10: here in the the presentation is just starting, so maybe 361 00:19:09,015 --> 00:19:09,975 Speaker 10: we can make this fast. 362 00:19:10,095 --> 00:19:12,335 Speaker 3: We will make it really fast. So tell me what 363 00:19:12,495 --> 00:19:15,975 Speaker 3: the what's the razine contribution to this? It's the coating 364 00:19:16,495 --> 00:19:16,775 Speaker 3: the boat. 365 00:19:17,775 --> 00:19:20,615 Speaker 10: Yeah, we've been involved with Emra's Team New Zealand for 366 00:19:21,175 --> 00:19:25,295 Speaker 10: twenty five years classes their coating supplier and Emma's Team 367 00:19:25,295 --> 00:19:28,775 Speaker 10: New Zealand have chosen our product, Durapox for many, many years, 368 00:19:28,815 --> 00:19:32,055 Speaker 10: but especially so in the last few years where the 369 00:19:32,055 --> 00:19:35,535 Speaker 10: foiling technology is kicked off and as you can imagine, 370 00:19:35,575 --> 00:19:38,575 Speaker 10: at speeds of approaching one hundred klometers per hour or more, 371 00:19:38,655 --> 00:19:42,415 Speaker 10: there's a lot of pressure on those foils. They've found 372 00:19:42,415 --> 00:19:45,775 Speaker 10: that the Durapox is the only product that can withstand it. 373 00:19:45,935 --> 00:19:48,255 Speaker 10: In fact, I was talking to some of our distributors 374 00:19:48,255 --> 00:19:50,735 Speaker 10: here in Europe over the last few days and we 375 00:19:50,855 --> 00:19:54,495 Speaker 10: think Durapox is on every single boat that has challenged 376 00:19:54,495 --> 00:19:55,335 Speaker 10: the Cup this year. 377 00:19:56,055 --> 00:19:58,855 Speaker 3: Wow, well, how's that for an endorsement. 378 00:19:58,895 --> 00:19:59,655 Speaker 10: New Zealand Company. 379 00:19:59,735 --> 00:19:59,895 Speaker 11: Right? 380 00:20:00,855 --> 00:20:06,215 Speaker 3: Absolutely. And in terms of like, is that a special 381 00:20:06,495 --> 00:20:09,455 Speaker 3: development of that product for this application or is this 382 00:20:09,535 --> 00:20:11,935 Speaker 3: a product that back in New Zealand you can go 383 00:20:12,015 --> 00:20:14,255 Speaker 3: and order it and apply it in the right situation. 384 00:20:14,415 --> 00:20:17,895 Speaker 10: This is no, it's a commercial product in the beyond 385 00:20:17,975 --> 00:20:22,255 Speaker 10: and we sell it all over the world now. But 386 00:20:22,295 --> 00:20:24,535 Speaker 10: there is there has been a development for the foil, 387 00:20:24,655 --> 00:20:27,295 Speaker 10: of course, acularly because because that was a bit out 388 00:20:27,335 --> 00:20:30,055 Speaker 10: of bit out of left field, the pressure and so 389 00:20:30,135 --> 00:20:33,015 Speaker 10: forth that they were exerted on. So but it is 390 00:20:33,535 --> 00:20:36,135 Speaker 10: a product that we developed here some twenty years ago 391 00:20:36,375 --> 00:20:41,135 Speaker 10: and it's still being fine tuned and improved every every 392 00:20:41,215 --> 00:20:45,935 Speaker 10: year for the marine industry and the carbon fiber fiber industry. 393 00:20:45,815 --> 00:20:47,655 Speaker 3: Because I guess from an outsider's point of view, we 394 00:20:47,695 --> 00:20:50,415 Speaker 3: tend to regard water as somehow quite benign. But as 395 00:20:50,415 --> 00:20:53,015 Speaker 3: you say, if you're hurtling through it, it speeds approaching 396 00:20:53,015 --> 00:20:55,455 Speaker 3: one hundred kilometers an hour, and you've got all the 397 00:20:55,455 --> 00:20:58,015 Speaker 3: way to that boat sitting on those foils. Those foils 398 00:20:58,055 --> 00:21:00,455 Speaker 3: want to cut through the water as efficiently as possible. 399 00:21:00,735 --> 00:21:03,215 Speaker 3: The coating suddenly gets under enormous pressure. 400 00:21:04,335 --> 00:21:09,615 Speaker 10: Enormous pressure, and I've had varying levels of what that 401 00:21:09,735 --> 00:21:12,335 Speaker 10: pressure is. I don't think anyone can really tell us, 402 00:21:12,575 --> 00:21:15,175 Speaker 10: but it is just an incredible amount of pressure and 403 00:21:15,535 --> 00:21:18,935 Speaker 10: the friction that comes with that. So, yeah, jurapox has 404 00:21:19,015 --> 00:21:23,015 Speaker 10: really found its niche in this industry. And talking to 405 00:21:23,015 --> 00:21:25,495 Speaker 10: our distributors over here again over the last few days, 406 00:21:26,335 --> 00:21:30,335 Speaker 10: we're finding that the opportunity in Europe for us with 407 00:21:30,455 --> 00:21:33,055 Speaker 10: this product is just growing and growing, and particularly on 408 00:21:33,095 --> 00:21:36,735 Speaker 10: the back of what's going on with this technology with 409 00:21:36,815 --> 00:21:37,615 Speaker 10: the America's Cup. 410 00:21:38,775 --> 00:21:41,335 Speaker 3: I'm going to let you enjoy the celebrations. I think 411 00:21:41,335 --> 00:21:44,455 Speaker 3: it's hard fought and well deserved and thank you for 412 00:21:44,535 --> 00:21:45,935 Speaker 3: your contribution to it as well. 413 00:21:47,135 --> 00:21:50,215 Speaker 10: Thank you, Peter. Fantastic for New Zealand to be involved 414 00:21:50,215 --> 00:21:53,535 Speaker 10: in it. Absolutely, I think from our point of view, 415 00:21:54,255 --> 00:21:56,695 Speaker 10: everyone in New Zealand should be incredibly proud of what 416 00:21:56,815 --> 00:22:00,695 Speaker 10: this team has achieved for us as a country because, 417 00:22:01,135 --> 00:22:04,855 Speaker 10: as you said a Newer Intro, it's an incredible achievement 418 00:22:04,935 --> 00:22:08,495 Speaker 10: to get the three peet and to be one of 419 00:22:08,655 --> 00:22:11,975 Speaker 10: four countries that have that have ever won the Cup 420 00:22:12,015 --> 00:22:15,855 Speaker 10: and it's one hundred and fifty four years or one 421 00:22:15,895 --> 00:22:16,895 Speaker 10: hundred and sixty four years. 422 00:22:17,055 --> 00:22:20,655 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a magnificent achievement.

A couple more comments 464 00:24:30,655 --> 00:24:33,535 Speaker 3: that have come in on the text Claire, there was 465 00:24:33,655 --> 00:24:35,815 Speaker 3: rather baffling one. I hadn't watched the America's Cup and 466 00:24:35,935 --> 00:24:38,495 Speaker 3: was lying on you not to say anything. We're a 467 00:24:38,655 --> 00:24:45,495 Speaker 3: news station. What else do you think we're going to do? 468 00:24:46,015 --> 00:24:49,135 Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is that number to call. 469 00:24:49,615 --> 00:24:52,055 Speaker 3: And common problem apparently take the pin out replaced from 470 00:24:52,095 --> 00:24:54,695 Speaker 3: the bottom. I'm not such about replacing it from the bottom. 471 00:24:54,695 --> 00:24:56,175 Speaker 3: I think you just drive it in from the top. 472 00:24:56,695 --> 00:24:58,415 Speaker 3: But a little bit of lubricant that means that it 473 00:24:58,455 --> 00:25:01,655 Speaker 3: just doesn't bind and work its way upwards as it 474 00:25:02,095 --> 00:25:04,495 Speaker 3: as you open and close the door. The reason we 475 00:25:04,535 --> 00:25:07,215 Speaker 3: got on to talking about that was was thinking, as 476 00:25:07,255 --> 00:25:12,815 Speaker 3: always about repairs and maintenance, and as I was leaving 477 00:25:12,815 --> 00:25:15,895 Speaker 3: the house earlier this morning, an hour or so ago, 478 00:25:16,855 --> 00:25:20,975 Speaker 3: the we've got an old door, old hinges every now 479 00:25:21,015 --> 00:25:23,855 Speaker 3: and then they need a little bit of lubricant to 480 00:25:23,855 --> 00:25:26,055 Speaker 3: stop them squeaking, and I haven't done that for a 481 00:25:26,095 --> 00:25:28,135 Speaker 3: little while. And so as I'm trying to close the 482 00:25:28,175 --> 00:25:31,735 Speaker 3: door quietly this morning, there is not a terribly loud 483 00:25:31,775 --> 00:25:34,655 Speaker 3: squeaking sound, but it was. It was there. So that's 484 00:25:34,695 --> 00:25:38,055 Speaker 3: another job on the list later on today, after I've 485 00:25:38,095 --> 00:25:40,815 Speaker 3: finished the jobs that I started yesterday but I didn't 486 00:25:40,815 --> 00:25:43,055 Speaker 3: get quite finished, which are sort of the same jobs 487 00:25:43,095 --> 00:25:45,535 Speaker 3: that I started on Friday, but realize that they're going 488 00:25:45,575 --> 00:25:47,975 Speaker 3: to take me a little bit longer. So this is 489 00:25:48,375 --> 00:25:51,135 Speaker 3: the nature of looking after your own property. Oh eight 490 00:25:51,255 --> 00:25:53,855 Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighty.

Hello June, good morning, Good morning. 495 00:26:06,455 --> 00:26:09,335 Speaker 12: Now I'll try and explain it. I have a pump 496 00:26:09,615 --> 00:26:13,575 Speaker 12: on my lawn because I've got a very wet back section, 497 00:26:14,215 --> 00:26:17,055 Speaker 12: and it pumps the water off my sections onto the street. 498 00:26:17,935 --> 00:26:21,255 Speaker 12: I have a down pipe off my house between the 499 00:26:21,255 --> 00:26:25,455 Speaker 12: two bedrooms. My neighbor next door has a down pipe 500 00:26:25,495 --> 00:26:30,935 Speaker 12: off his garage his water. His downpipe comes across my place, 501 00:26:31,535 --> 00:26:35,295 Speaker 12: joins up with my lot, and goes out onto the street. Now, 502 00:26:35,455 --> 00:26:38,935 Speaker 12: this year, with all the heavy rain we've had, my 503 00:26:39,095 --> 00:26:42,615 Speaker 12: pump doesn't seem to be able to cope with all 504 00:26:43,015 --> 00:26:47,135 Speaker 12: of that water, and I've been having a great big 505 00:26:47,255 --> 00:26:51,575 Speaker 12: puddle on my backyard. How do I tell him to 506 00:26:51,775 --> 00:26:53,775 Speaker 12: disconnect with down pipe? 507 00:26:54,415 --> 00:26:57,735 Speaker 3: Can I just ask? Are your two properties joined together? 508 00:26:59,295 --> 00:26:59,495 Speaker 11: No? 509 00:26:59,535 --> 00:27:02,495 Speaker 12: They're not. No, I have a big sense between his 510 00:27:02,655 --> 00:27:06,255 Speaker 12: property and mind. 511 00:27:07,055 --> 00:27:10,535 Speaker 3: Okay, So, and the distance let's say, from the wooden 512 00:27:10,575 --> 00:27:13,215 Speaker 3: fence to the garage and then the distance from the 513 00:27:13,255 --> 00:27:17,935 Speaker 3: wooden fence to your house is how much roughly. 514 00:27:17,695 --> 00:27:20,015 Speaker 12: The distance between I'm in the bedroom now, I just 515 00:27:20,135 --> 00:27:22,935 Speaker 12: wanted to hear me exactly. My place in the garage 516 00:27:22,935 --> 00:27:28,335 Speaker 12: would be about three meters, okay, and then his down 517 00:27:28,455 --> 00:27:33,935 Speaker 12: pipe would be from the fence to his place about 518 00:27:33,935 --> 00:27:36,895 Speaker 12: a meter. He did when I first shifted in. The 519 00:27:36,975 --> 00:27:40,815 Speaker 12: down pipe wasn't always used to fall down, and the 520 00:27:40,815 --> 00:27:43,335 Speaker 12: water that fell off that refused to keep me awake 521 00:27:43,375 --> 00:27:46,855 Speaker 12: all night. I said, yes, I said to him, can 522 00:27:46,895 --> 00:27:50,295 Speaker 12: you connect it now? It's having trouble with the neighbor 523 00:27:50,335 --> 00:27:52,535 Speaker 12: on the other side as well, with water off his 524 00:27:52,695 --> 00:27:57,695 Speaker 12: property running over there. Okay, is a pain in the bars. 525 00:27:57,855 --> 00:28:01,615 Speaker 3: So and your properties are not joined. It's not a 526 00:28:01,655 --> 00:28:05,415 Speaker 3: cross lea situation. You're on your own title. They are 527 00:28:05,455 --> 00:28:05,895 Speaker 3: on their. 528 00:28:05,775 --> 00:28:06,975 Speaker 12: Own time, my own rights. 529 00:28:08,095 --> 00:28:12,975 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Look, I mean to be fair. If 530 00:28:13,015 --> 00:28:15,215 Speaker 3: it was me, I just let go up to the 531 00:28:15,255 --> 00:28:18,655 Speaker 3: fence and cut the downpipe off and turn it round 532 00:28:18,655 --> 00:28:20,855 Speaker 3: and just poke it back onto his property. I know 533 00:28:20,935 --> 00:28:22,055 Speaker 3: that we'll eventually. 534 00:28:21,775 --> 00:28:24,855 Speaker 12: End up the ground though it's dug. It's on the ground. 535 00:28:26,855 --> 00:28:30,575 Speaker 12: He's got underground, so he must have done all that. 536 00:28:30,615 --> 00:28:33,215 Speaker 12: When some other person was here or when the house 537 00:28:33,335 --> 00:28:34,095 Speaker 12: was first built. 538 00:28:34,575 --> 00:28:40,855 Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm wondering whether it may well be possible 539 00:28:41,135 --> 00:28:47,215 Speaker 3: that in order to the storm water, the public stormwater 540 00:28:47,335 --> 00:28:50,095 Speaker 3: line might be one of those ones that runs, you know, 541 00:28:50,495 --> 00:28:54,215 Speaker 3: across your property and goes through a number of properties. Right, 542 00:28:54,295 --> 00:28:58,095 Speaker 3: so everyone should connect into it on their own property. 543 00:28:58,135 --> 00:29:00,095 Speaker 3: You shouldn't. I don't think you should be able to 544 00:29:00,135 --> 00:29:04,735 Speaker 3: connect your stormwater via another neighbor's property into it. 545 00:29:04,735 --> 00:29:10,415 Speaker 12: It runs out my lot and off my roof and 546 00:29:10,455 --> 00:29:13,055 Speaker 12: off my property with this pump thing I've got on, 547 00:29:13,535 --> 00:29:17,895 Speaker 12: it runs along along the fence line on my side 548 00:29:18,255 --> 00:29:22,015 Speaker 12: and out onto the guttering, out into the out into 549 00:29:22,055 --> 00:29:24,255 Speaker 12: the gut you know the gas because I watch it. 550 00:29:24,535 --> 00:29:26,415 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I watch it. 551 00:29:27,135 --> 00:29:28,135 Speaker 12: It runs out there. 552 00:29:29,855 --> 00:29:32,255 Speaker 3: I am still kind of trying to get my head 553 00:29:32,295 --> 00:29:35,615 Speaker 3: around how this might all work. But the simple, the 554 00:29:35,935 --> 00:29:40,975 Speaker 3: simple factor is there. The neighbors stormwater should be controlled 555 00:29:41,135 --> 00:29:43,175 Speaker 3: on their property. It shouldn't have come. 556 00:29:43,255 --> 00:29:48,175 Speaker 12: Everybody tells me, yes, yes, yes. They also people say 557 00:29:48,175 --> 00:29:49,655 Speaker 12: to me, he's self aloud, there. 558 00:29:50,135 --> 00:29:53,535 Speaker 3: You can't drag your stormwater across into your neighbors and 559 00:29:54,055 --> 00:29:57,735 Speaker 3: attach it to that connection there. I mean, how do 560 00:29:57,775 --> 00:29:59,975 Speaker 3: you go about solving that I suppose in. 561 00:29:59,935 --> 00:30:02,975 Speaker 12: The end about telling him, well, it becomes. 562 00:30:02,975 --> 00:30:06,055 Speaker 3: I'm guessing, actually, that'll be a great question to ask, 563 00:30:06,055 --> 00:30:07,815 Speaker 3: because in the next couple of weeks we've got a 564 00:30:07,895 --> 00:30:10,575 Speaker 3: gentleman by the name of Ben Johnson who's going to 565 00:30:10,615 --> 00:30:13,855 Speaker 3: join me, and he's actually a lawyer specializing in property law, 566 00:30:15,135 --> 00:30:17,175 Speaker 3: and we were going to be talking about the Fencing 567 00:30:17,215 --> 00:30:18,775 Speaker 3: Act and those sorts of things. But I might be 568 00:30:18,815 --> 00:30:21,255 Speaker 3: able to get that into the question as well. So 569 00:30:22,375 --> 00:30:25,575 Speaker 3: you know, like, you have rights to your land right, 570 00:30:25,575 --> 00:30:28,775 Speaker 3: that's the whole point of being a homeowner. And so 571 00:30:29,495 --> 00:30:32,055 Speaker 3: the only way that someone gets to interfere with those 572 00:30:32,135 --> 00:30:34,495 Speaker 3: rights in terms of putting services in is if they 573 00:30:34,535 --> 00:30:37,295 Speaker 3: get an easement right and it's registered on the title, 574 00:30:37,615 --> 00:30:42,295 Speaker 3: to say, hey, look to get access to storm water, wastewater, electricity, 575 00:30:42,375 --> 00:30:45,095 Speaker 3: telecoms or something like that, I have to intersect or 576 00:30:45,095 --> 00:30:47,415 Speaker 3: I have to cross over your property, but it's registered 577 00:30:47,455 --> 00:30:52,135 Speaker 3: on the title. Typically, so I would think that a 578 00:30:52,255 --> 00:30:56,615 Speaker 3: letter informing them that in fact, the situation is no 579 00:30:56,735 --> 00:31:00,415 Speaker 3: longer acceptable, that they have to control their own storm water, 580 00:31:01,015 --> 00:31:04,415 Speaker 3: and then saying to them, you've got fourteen days to 581 00:31:04,455 --> 00:31:07,495 Speaker 3: comply with this, at which time I'm going to get 582 00:31:07,495 --> 00:31:10,215 Speaker 3: a drain layer to come or a plumber to come 583 00:31:10,295 --> 00:31:14,135 Speaker 3: and disconnect your stormwater, and that if you don't make 584 00:31:14,135 --> 00:31:18,215 Speaker 3: your own connection, it then becomes an issue for the 585 00:31:18,215 --> 00:31:21,615 Speaker 3: local council to deal with because there is a requirement 586 00:31:21,735 --> 00:31:25,455 Speaker 3: in urban settings right for every property to control their 587 00:31:25,455 --> 00:31:26,175 Speaker 3: own stormwater. 588 00:31:27,015 --> 00:31:29,775 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they've got it. They've got a concrete 589 00:31:29,815 --> 00:31:33,135 Speaker 12: path up the drive behind the fence. They've got a 590 00:31:33,175 --> 00:31:37,095 Speaker 12: concrete path, so they'd have to rub it under that 591 00:31:37,175 --> 00:31:41,415 Speaker 12: concrete path. They're having to be fair. On the other side, 592 00:31:41,455 --> 00:31:43,615 Speaker 12: he had a going the fact that. 593 00:31:43,495 --> 00:31:45,775 Speaker 3: It's going to be difficult for them is not actually 594 00:31:45,815 --> 00:31:46,375 Speaker 3: your problem. 595 00:31:46,735 --> 00:31:48,655 Speaker 10: So that's true, you know what I mean. 596 00:31:48,855 --> 00:31:50,055 Speaker 11: I know we all. 597 00:31:49,935 --> 00:31:52,415 Speaker 3: Tend to be we all tend to be considerate, and 598 00:31:52,455 --> 00:31:55,495 Speaker 3: we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But in this 599 00:31:55,615 --> 00:31:58,975 Speaker 3: instance here, what they've done is incorrect, or whoever allowed 600 00:31:58,975 --> 00:32:01,735 Speaker 3: them to do it shouldn't have allowed them to do it. 601 00:32:01,735 --> 00:32:05,375 Speaker 3: It's their responsibility to control their own storm water. And 602 00:32:05,615 --> 00:32:08,735 Speaker 3: an instance is where people don't control storm water off 603 00:32:08,775 --> 00:32:11,295 Speaker 3: their own property. You can go to the council and 604 00:32:11,335 --> 00:32:13,295 Speaker 3: sort of go, hey, look this has become a nuisance. 605 00:32:13,375 --> 00:32:16,975 Speaker 3: I think there's something wrong with their stormwater system. 606 00:32:17,015 --> 00:32:18,535 Speaker 12: Thank you so much in you way. 607 00:32:18,455 --> 00:32:21,735 Speaker 3: But look, it's never easy confronting a neighbor and having 608 00:32:21,735 --> 00:32:25,415 Speaker 3: those conversations. But if it's causing disruption to you, then 609 00:32:25,655 --> 00:32:30,015 Speaker 3: I think you do need to say something. Yeah, I know, 610 00:32:30,295 --> 00:32:32,895 Speaker 3: I know, it's not an easy one. All the best 611 00:32:32,895 --> 00:32:36,735 Speaker 3: of you, do you take care? All right? Then? Now 612 00:32:36,775 --> 00:32:39,295 Speaker 3: on this can I seek your advice if you're a 613 00:32:40,295 --> 00:32:43,855 Speaker 3: particularly if you're involved in drain laying or plumbing. Very briefly, 614 00:32:43,975 --> 00:32:45,975 Speaker 3: it was a conversation I had while sitting at a 615 00:32:46,015 --> 00:32:48,895 Speaker 3: cafe yesterday with a mate who lives up the road. 616 00:32:49,855 --> 00:32:53,095 Speaker 3: They have a driveway that slopes down to the basement 617 00:32:53,175 --> 00:32:55,575 Speaker 3: garage right, So at the bottom of that they have 618 00:32:55,855 --> 00:32:58,535 Speaker 3: a catch pit with a pump in it. Because the 619 00:32:58,735 --> 00:33:03,255 Speaker 3: stormwater then is below the level of the council stormwater line, 620 00:33:03,495 --> 00:33:06,295 Speaker 3: so water that collects into that chamber has to be pumped, 621 00:33:06,375 --> 00:33:11,015 Speaker 3: doubt and that's regardless of the level of rainfall. No 622 00:33:11,175 --> 00:33:14,015 Speaker 3: water will escape from the pump from the chamber without 623 00:33:14,055 --> 00:33:17,295 Speaker 3: the pump, so the pump's pretty important. When the pump 624 00:33:17,375 --> 00:33:20,735 Speaker 3: failed during that heavy rain last year, they got the 625 00:33:20,735 --> 00:33:24,135 Speaker 3: basement flooded, right, So the pump is really important. The 626 00:33:24,255 --> 00:33:28,855 Speaker 3: question is is there like a ups an uninterrupted power 627 00:33:28,855 --> 00:33:31,855 Speaker 3: supply system that you can get as a backup, because 628 00:33:32,095 --> 00:33:34,735 Speaker 3: in the event that heavy rain occurs at the same 629 00:33:34,775 --> 00:33:37,615 Speaker 3: time as the power goes off, likely the flooding is 630 00:33:37,655 --> 00:33:40,055 Speaker 3: going to occur. So is there a setup where you 631 00:33:40,055 --> 00:33:44,855 Speaker 3: can add a generator or a battery supply that will 632 00:33:44,895 --> 00:33:47,695 Speaker 3: automatically turn on in the event of a power cut. 633 00:33:48,215 --> 00:33:49,935 Speaker 3: I'm going to investigate on and do a bit of 634 00:33:50,055 --> 00:33:54,735 Speaker 3: reading and research. But if someone's already thought about this 635 00:33:55,015 --> 00:33:57,015 Speaker 3: and got a solution, feel free to either give me 636 00:33:57,055 --> 00:33:59,135 Speaker 3: a call or a text. That'd be awesome. Eight hundred 637 00:33:59,135 --> 00:34:00,975 Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty is that number to call, get 638 00:34:00,975 --> 00:34:02,535 Speaker 3: a bigger pump and make them pay for it. I 639 00:34:02,535 --> 00:34:04,935 Speaker 3: don't know if that's a great solution. I appreciate the text, 640 00:34:05,215 --> 00:34:07,895 Speaker 3: but I'm not sure that's a in able solution. Eight 641 00:34:07,975 --> 00:34:10,175 Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighty ten away from seven oh and 642 00:34:10,295 --> 00:34:13,255 Speaker 3: good morning, Good morning, Good morning, sir. 643 00:34:13,415 --> 00:34:15,975 Speaker 13: I've got I've got a double being a question on 644 00:34:16,015 --> 00:34:19,775 Speaker 13: the same topic. One is if you've got home. At 645 00:34:19,975 --> 00:34:24,055 Speaker 13: one stage you talked about Taylor Facio, and there's another company. 646 00:34:23,655 --> 00:34:25,375 Speaker 3: Who does custom pasure as well. 647 00:34:26,535 --> 00:34:28,215 Speaker 13: Of concealed What was the other one? 648 00:34:28,255 --> 00:34:31,695 Speaker 3: Sorry, custom, so have a look for customer on you. 649 00:34:31,775 --> 00:34:31,975 Speaker 6: Yeah. 650 00:34:32,415 --> 00:34:37,415 Speaker 13: Yeah, they do a replacement system for concealed guttering. Yes, 651 00:34:37,535 --> 00:34:39,935 Speaker 13: and one of those seemed like a good idea at 652 00:34:39,935 --> 00:34:41,455 Speaker 13: the time. Things that can sell guttering. 653 00:34:43,295 --> 00:34:46,135 Speaker 3: To be fair, I've always been a bit skeptical about it, 654 00:34:47,215 --> 00:34:49,695 Speaker 3: even back in the day, when you know, it seemed 655 00:34:49,735 --> 00:34:52,255 Speaker 3: like every house in a new subdivision was getting them. 656 00:34:52,695 --> 00:34:54,655 Speaker 3: I was like, no, I don't know. 657 00:34:55,335 --> 00:35:03,655 Speaker 13: Yeah anyway, Yes, but with my place, I've made it 658 00:35:03,775 --> 00:35:05,455 Speaker 13: just the right words. So if you try and get 659 00:35:05,495 --> 00:35:07,655 Speaker 13: your hand in there to them and clear them in 660 00:35:07,695 --> 00:35:08,815 Speaker 13: the nice sharp. 661 00:35:08,735 --> 00:35:10,215 Speaker 3: Edge, yeah, it cuts you the shreds. 662 00:35:10,415 --> 00:35:10,615 Speaker 6: Yep. 663 00:35:11,215 --> 00:35:16,135 Speaker 13: Anyway, what I wondered is to do that kind of change, 664 00:35:16,255 --> 00:35:19,735 Speaker 13: do you need a permit? That's the first part of 665 00:35:19,735 --> 00:35:23,135 Speaker 13: the question. The other part of the question is, sorry, 666 00:35:23,135 --> 00:35:24,135 Speaker 13: I will let you answer that. 667 00:35:25,455 --> 00:35:27,455 Speaker 3: I think in a word, i'd say no, I don't. 668 00:35:27,495 --> 00:35:30,815 Speaker 3: I don't see why. I mean, typically things that impact 669 00:35:30,855 --> 00:35:34,655 Speaker 3: on weather tightness and that do require consent. But I 670 00:35:34,695 --> 00:35:37,495 Speaker 3: think that making a change from a concealed spouting to 671 00:35:37,535 --> 00:35:40,535 Speaker 3: an external one with a system, you know, like the 672 00:35:41,015 --> 00:35:43,615 Speaker 3: I know that the custom guys have have developed a 673 00:35:43,655 --> 00:35:47,895 Speaker 3: system that works. It has well. In fact, it's a 674 00:35:47,935 --> 00:35:50,015 Speaker 3: benefit in terms of weather tightness because we know that 675 00:35:50,055 --> 00:35:54,175 Speaker 3: those things leak and have caused moisture ingress. So no, 676 00:35:54,335 --> 00:35:56,055 Speaker 3: I don't think you need a building consent for that. 677 00:35:57,335 --> 00:36:02,455 Speaker 13: Oh got on. And the other thing is, well, I 678 00:36:02,735 --> 00:36:07,655 Speaker 13: the idea of prevention rather than cure. I wondered if 679 00:36:07,855 --> 00:36:09,935 Speaker 13: it was because we don't have a leg problem at 680 00:36:09,975 --> 00:36:11,815 Speaker 13: the moment. It seems in good neck virvis is sooner 681 00:36:11,895 --> 00:36:16,895 Speaker 13: or later everything suffed out. And well, I wondered if 682 00:36:17,455 --> 00:36:23,815 Speaker 13: it was possible to put in a Yeah, maybe not, 683 00:36:23,815 --> 00:36:25,215 Speaker 13: but no, but you know what I mean, put in 684 00:36:25,495 --> 00:36:30,695 Speaker 13: put in an improving because then it only has to 685 00:36:31,135 --> 00:36:34,175 Speaker 13: the existing guttering only has to act as a foundation 686 00:36:34,455 --> 00:36:37,535 Speaker 13: for it rather than a water trap. 687 00:36:39,335 --> 00:36:42,215 Speaker 3: Yeah. And look, I think the problem sometimes with some 688 00:36:42,255 --> 00:36:46,975 Speaker 3: of those ones that have caused issues has been that 689 00:36:47,575 --> 00:36:51,975 Speaker 3: often the interior gutter that was put in behind the 690 00:36:52,015 --> 00:36:58,095 Speaker 3: concealed facia or yeah, was often laid almost dead flat, right, 691 00:36:59,175 --> 00:37:01,935 Speaker 3: and you're always kind of asking for trouble, I think 692 00:37:01,975 --> 00:37:05,695 Speaker 3: if you do your spouting dead flat. So if and 693 00:37:05,815 --> 00:37:09,255 Speaker 3: also sometimes there were not that many outlets, so again, 694 00:37:09,455 --> 00:37:12,815 Speaker 3: in heavy rain, the volume of water that was getting 695 00:37:12,855 --> 00:37:16,095 Speaker 3: out through the downpipe was insufficient, and so they would 696 00:37:16,095 --> 00:37:19,655 Speaker 3: tend to overtop and then they would overflow, sometimes at 697 00:37:19,695 --> 00:37:21,695 Speaker 3: the back of the spouting rather than at the front 698 00:37:21,695 --> 00:37:24,975 Speaker 3: of the spouting and out onto the ground. Now, if 699 00:37:25,015 --> 00:37:28,015 Speaker 3: you don't have any of those problems, then yeah, I 700 00:37:28,415 --> 00:37:30,975 Speaker 3: can see the attraction of going Actually, what about if 701 00:37:30,975 --> 00:37:33,135 Speaker 3: I do some really good prep on the inside and 702 00:37:33,215 --> 00:37:36,055 Speaker 3: apply like a coating or a lining to it, that 703 00:37:36,135 --> 00:37:37,095 Speaker 3: will extend it out. 704 00:37:38,095 --> 00:37:41,735 Speaker 13: Many suggestions on the on the different approaches it could 705 00:37:41,735 --> 00:37:42,455 Speaker 13: be used there. 706 00:37:42,655 --> 00:37:45,495 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, I've done some stuff with a 707 00:37:45,575 --> 00:37:49,175 Speaker 3: product called EPM sixty or during one nine to five. 708 00:37:49,895 --> 00:37:52,535 Speaker 3: And again I'm not I'm not suggesting either of those 709 00:37:52,575 --> 00:37:56,975 Speaker 3: two brush on applications will be a permanent solution, but 710 00:37:57,095 --> 00:38:00,255 Speaker 3: I have applied it to internal gutters where I've just 711 00:38:00,295 --> 00:38:02,175 Speaker 3: wanted to get an extra couple of years out of it, 712 00:38:02,335 --> 00:38:06,335 Speaker 3: you know, for example. And so in that sense, it 713 00:38:06,415 --> 00:38:08,855 Speaker 3: might be if you can get in there. Often with 714 00:38:08,935 --> 00:38:11,935 Speaker 3: these things, it's the difficulty of getting in, you know, 715 00:38:12,015 --> 00:38:14,095 Speaker 3: with a wire brush and then with a vacuum to 716 00:38:14,135 --> 00:38:17,455 Speaker 3: clean it out, and then applying the coating and so on. 717 00:38:18,535 --> 00:38:23,215 Speaker 3: There's not a lot of gap in there for maintenance, anything. 718 00:38:22,895 --> 00:38:26,735 Speaker 13: You could heat and torturing, or a molding that could play. 719 00:38:26,535 --> 00:38:30,255 Speaker 3: Some h not that I know. I mean, there are 720 00:38:30,335 --> 00:38:33,335 Speaker 3: obviously torch on membranes and TPOs and things like that, 721 00:38:33,415 --> 00:38:37,855 Speaker 3: but you know, applying them in a way that does 722 00:38:37,895 --> 00:38:40,775 Speaker 3: the job become that difficult that you're unlikely to get 723 00:38:40,775 --> 00:38:42,655 Speaker 3: a good seal on it, in which case it kind 724 00:38:42,655 --> 00:38:45,935 Speaker 3: of defeats the purpose. I think a brush on application, 725 00:38:46,135 --> 00:38:48,415 Speaker 3: just because of the complexity of getting in there, the 726 00:38:48,415 --> 00:38:52,095 Speaker 3: difficulty of access, is probably going to be the best solution. 727 00:38:52,535 --> 00:38:53,695 Speaker 9: But you know, there was. 728 00:38:53,975 --> 00:38:57,415 Speaker 3: Also to be fair to these sorts of systems. Sometimes 729 00:38:57,455 --> 00:39:00,415 Speaker 3: they fail because people don't maintain them, and arguably they're 730 00:39:00,415 --> 00:39:04,935 Speaker 3: difficult to maintain because they're difficult to access, and so 731 00:39:05,095 --> 00:39:07,375 Speaker 3: we tend to ignore them. But I think if you've 732 00:39:07,375 --> 00:39:10,935 Speaker 3: got a system that's still working and you continue to 733 00:39:11,015 --> 00:39:14,415 Speaker 3: maintain it, then partly leave well enough alone, because you 734 00:39:14,455 --> 00:39:17,295 Speaker 3: know it wouldn't be a cheap exercise to remove all 735 00:39:17,335 --> 00:39:21,215 Speaker 3: of that and replace it with an exterior spouting No, was. 736 00:39:21,135 --> 00:39:24,295 Speaker 13: That EPN like November or no? 737 00:39:24,415 --> 00:39:27,975 Speaker 3: EPM Mary, what's what's military for? 738 00:39:28,135 --> 00:39:30,775 Speaker 13: M Mike? 739 00:39:30,935 --> 00:39:35,815 Speaker 3: I think Mike, Okay, yeah, Echo Papa Mike sixty. There 740 00:39:35,855 --> 00:39:38,575 Speaker 3: you go. All right, mate, all the very best to you, 741 00:39:38,615 --> 00:39:42,095 Speaker 3: Take care, all the best, take care of your newsok CB. 742 00:39:42,215 --> 00:39:44,415 Speaker 3: We're coming up to news top of the r at 743 00:39:44,535 --> 00:39:46,695 Speaker 3: six o'clock. We'll talk to Mary straight after the news 744 00:39:46,735 --> 00:39:50,095 Speaker 3: at around seven thirty. We will have our razine painting 745 00:39:50,215 --> 00:39:53,855 Speaker 3: expert Brice McDermott joining us from seven thirty this morning. 746 00:39:54,215 --> 00:39:59,175 Speaker 3: After eight o'clock, our solar expert Marlon Johnson from Life 747 00:39:59,255 --> 00:40:01,615 Speaker 3: Force Sola will be joining me. So if you've got 748 00:40:01,615 --> 00:40:06,575 Speaker 3: any specific questions about solar, about maybe batteries, about generation, 749 00:40:06,775 --> 00:40:09,335 Speaker 3: about reply and the other thing we talked about is 750 00:40:09,375 --> 00:40:11,655 Speaker 3: some of these eco loans that are available. So we'll 751 00:40:11,655 --> 00:40:14,415 Speaker 3: talk all things Sola with Marlon from Life Force Sola 752 00:40:14,495 --> 00:40:17,495 Speaker 3: after eight o'clock this morning, back after the news. Righty, oh, 753 00:40:17,495 --> 00:40:19,775 Speaker 3: good morning, Welcome back to the program. Pete wolf Camp, 754 00:40:19,815 --> 00:40:22,415 Speaker 3: the Resident Builder, with you here on the Resident Builder 755 00:40:22,455 --> 00:40:26,175 Speaker 3: on Sunday. If you've got a building question, a maintenance question, 756 00:40:26,255 --> 00:40:29,855 Speaker 3: a product question, a subcontract a question, maybe even a 757 00:40:29,935 --> 00:40:33,295 Speaker 3: nabally type question. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty 758 00:40:33,455 --> 00:40:35,415 Speaker 3: is the number to call. Trust You've had a good week, 759 00:40:35,535 --> 00:40:38,375 Speaker 3: looking forward to your calls your conversation. Remember, at around 760 00:40:38,415 --> 00:40:41,855 Speaker 3: seven thirty this morning, we'll grab Bryce McDermott from Razine 761 00:40:41,895 --> 00:40:44,695 Speaker 3: Color Shops and here is our painting expert. If you've 762 00:40:44,695 --> 00:40:48,375 Speaker 3: got a specific painting question, then text it through right 763 00:40:48,415 --> 00:40:50,975 Speaker 3: now to nine to nine two and I can put 764 00:40:51,015 --> 00:40:53,815 Speaker 3: those to Bryce when he joins us at seven point 765 00:40:53,815 --> 00:40:57,335 Speaker 3: thirty in the next hour of the program. Marlon Johnson 766 00:40:57,375 --> 00:41:00,815 Speaker 3: from Life Force Solar, who are our sponsors, obviously he 767 00:41:00,895 --> 00:41:02,735 Speaker 3: will be joining us. We had Marlon on the show 768 00:41:02,735 --> 00:41:04,655 Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago just to sort of do 769 00:41:04,735 --> 00:41:09,335 Speaker 3: a basic introduction into Solo, but it's surprisingly complex and 770 00:41:09,375 --> 00:41:11,215 Speaker 3: there's a lot more to it. So I thought, right, 771 00:41:11,255 --> 00:41:13,135 Speaker 3: we'll get them back on the show and if you've 772 00:41:13,135 --> 00:41:16,975 Speaker 3: got any specific questions about Solar, and to be fair, 773 00:41:17,015 --> 00:41:19,935 Speaker 3: I had some. I had a chat with them this 774 00:41:19,975 --> 00:41:21,495 Speaker 3: week and I found out that I had a whole 775 00:41:21,575 --> 00:41:25,135 Speaker 3: series of assumptions around Solar and around batteries that were 776 00:41:25,855 --> 00:41:28,895 Speaker 3: not quite fully formed. Let's say I'm being kind to myself, 777 00:41:29,415 --> 00:41:33,215 Speaker 3: so we're going to talk about batteries solar, the connection 778 00:41:33,335 --> 00:41:37,375 Speaker 3: between the two, how they link together. Are they are 779 00:41:37,415 --> 00:41:41,055 Speaker 3: so intertwined that you I had basically come up with 780 00:41:41,095 --> 00:41:43,215 Speaker 3: this idea that you to make use of it, you 781 00:41:43,255 --> 00:41:45,455 Speaker 3: really needed to have battery. Turns out that that's not 782 00:41:45,575 --> 00:41:48,815 Speaker 3: quite completely true, So we'll talk about that. But if 783 00:41:48,855 --> 00:41:55,815 Speaker 3: you've got any specific, any specific solar questions, feel free 784 00:41:55,815 --> 00:41:58,335 Speaker 3: to text those through now as well, because Marlon, our 785 00:41:58,375 --> 00:42:00,735 Speaker 3: expert on that, is going to join us after eight o'clock. 786 00:42:00,775 --> 00:42:03,615 Speaker 3: So it's a busy old morning. Take the opportunity to 787 00:42:03,695 --> 00:42:06,495 Speaker 3: jump in now, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty if 788 00:42:06,495 --> 00:42:09,135 Speaker 3: you've got any questions. I mentioned just before the news 789 00:42:09,175 --> 00:42:12,055 Speaker 3: about this particular dilemma that I happen to be chatting 790 00:42:12,055 --> 00:42:15,055 Speaker 3: with a mate who lives up the road about yesterday. 791 00:42:15,095 --> 00:42:17,415 Speaker 3: We're sitting at the cafe and coffee wanders over and 792 00:42:17,455 --> 00:42:20,135 Speaker 3: he goes, oh, can I talk to you about this? Yeah, 793 00:42:20,135 --> 00:42:22,495 Speaker 3: of course, no problem at all. So an issue with 794 00:42:22,895 --> 00:42:26,495 Speaker 3: a pump or no, no problem with the pump. Pump 795 00:42:26,535 --> 00:42:29,455 Speaker 3: works fine. It's in a chamber. It catches the water 796 00:42:29,495 --> 00:42:33,295 Speaker 3: that comes down from the driveway, but that is below 797 00:42:33,375 --> 00:42:35,935 Speaker 3: the level of the invert for the stormwater mainz right, 798 00:42:35,975 --> 00:42:38,175 Speaker 3: So it has to be pumped from the chamber to 799 00:42:38,215 --> 00:42:41,095 Speaker 3: get into the council stormwater line. So someone said, what 800 00:42:41,135 --> 00:42:43,255 Speaker 3: about a bubble up sump, and I had a quick 801 00:42:43,295 --> 00:42:45,775 Speaker 3: look just to refresh myself as to what they are. Well, 802 00:42:45,775 --> 00:42:47,975 Speaker 3: that wouldn't work because when it bubbles over, it's going 803 00:42:48,015 --> 00:42:49,935 Speaker 3: to bubble over and go straight in the garret. So 804 00:42:50,055 --> 00:42:53,375 Speaker 3: that's not an option. It's got to be a solution 805 00:42:53,575 --> 00:42:56,735 Speaker 3: for when the pump if there's a power cut, how 806 00:42:56,775 --> 00:42:59,135 Speaker 3: do you keep the pump running? Is are there batteries 807 00:42:59,335 --> 00:43:03,775 Speaker 3: or generators that you can hook up specifically to the pump. 808 00:43:05,335 --> 00:43:07,415 Speaker 3: If you've got a solution, feel free to text it through. 809 00:43:07,615 --> 00:43:10,575 Speaker 3: I w eight hundred eighty ten eighty. Otherwise I'll continue 810 00:43:10,575 --> 00:43:12,775 Speaker 3: to answer your questions rather than ask them. I wait 811 00:43:12,895 --> 00:43:15,095 Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighties the number to call Mary A 812 00:43:15,255 --> 00:43:16,135 Speaker 3: very good morning. 813 00:43:16,615 --> 00:43:20,535 Speaker 14: Oh, good morning, Pete, Hey Mary Scott query. I was 814 00:43:20,535 --> 00:43:24,575 Speaker 14: looking into the shower dough yes to put in the 815 00:43:24,615 --> 00:43:29,175 Speaker 14: bathroom to help keep keep steam down. But I wonder 816 00:43:29,455 --> 00:43:33,255 Speaker 14: if the regulations have changed a tool on extractor fans 817 00:43:33,295 --> 00:43:38,015 Speaker 14: for bathrooms, because in their advertising it says there's no 818 00:43:38,095 --> 00:43:42,135 Speaker 14: need for an extractor fan, and I thought you had 819 00:43:42,175 --> 00:43:44,455 Speaker 14: to have one in your bathrooms. 820 00:43:45,415 --> 00:43:49,815 Speaker 3: To the best of my knowledge, certainly the building code 821 00:43:51,335 --> 00:43:57,655 Speaker 3: requires extraction from bathrooms and from wet areas increasingly, right, So, 822 00:43:58,015 --> 00:44:01,615 Speaker 3: and I I'm not sure if you submitted a building 823 00:44:01,655 --> 00:44:03,895 Speaker 3: consent and said this is going to be my solution, 824 00:44:04,615 --> 00:44:07,695 Speaker 3: whether it would be accept to counsel or to a 825 00:44:07,815 --> 00:44:11,695 Speaker 3: territorial authority as part of a building consent application. So 826 00:44:12,175 --> 00:44:16,975 Speaker 3: typically we install extraction in bathrooms to deal with moisture. 827 00:44:17,255 --> 00:44:21,815 Speaker 3: That's the common way, and that is approved by counsel. 828 00:44:22,775 --> 00:44:24,775 Speaker 14: So I can see how it would suppress it. But 829 00:44:24,815 --> 00:44:26,575 Speaker 14: the steam's still got to go somewhere. 830 00:44:27,375 --> 00:44:29,455 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think the theory behind them is 831 00:44:29,455 --> 00:44:33,095 Speaker 3: that essentially it becomes condensation and drains down the inside 832 00:44:33,095 --> 00:44:35,135 Speaker 3: of the shower and into the waste, and in that 833 00:44:35,215 --> 00:44:39,935 Speaker 3: sense it's a neat solution. I would have to do 834 00:44:39,975 --> 00:44:42,415 Speaker 3: some more research to see whether or not that would 835 00:44:42,415 --> 00:44:48,495 Speaker 3: suffice for building consent, But I think in all the 836 00:44:48,535 --> 00:44:52,855 Speaker 3: bathrooms I've done, we've installed extraction. We had Storm Harpen, 837 00:44:53,895 --> 00:44:56,215 Speaker 3: a ventilation expert, on the show a couple of weeks ago, 838 00:44:56,215 --> 00:44:57,975 Speaker 3: and I intend to get her back as well. She 839 00:44:58,015 --> 00:45:01,895 Speaker 3: had some great advice on ventilation and extraction and so on. 840 00:45:03,095 --> 00:45:05,455 Speaker 3: I think a good solution is getting it out. So 841 00:45:05,495 --> 00:45:10,615 Speaker 3: if you've got bathroom, I would always go for extraction. Yeah, okay, 842 00:45:10,695 --> 00:45:12,335 Speaker 3: then you know, and maybe do both of them. 843 00:45:12,375 --> 00:45:17,535 Speaker 14: But yeah, extraction to me, it just doesn't seem totally right. 844 00:45:17,895 --> 00:45:18,055 Speaker 11: Hey. 845 00:45:18,055 --> 00:45:21,095 Speaker 3: Look, the people that I know who have that I've 846 00:45:21,135 --> 00:45:24,615 Speaker 3: spoken with have got them swear by them, right. Yeah, 847 00:45:24,855 --> 00:45:28,975 Speaker 3: So in that sense there's there's a real efficacy about them. 848 00:45:29,455 --> 00:45:32,855 Speaker 3: But in terms of compliance, I'm not sure. Okay, I 849 00:45:32,895 --> 00:45:34,775 Speaker 3: can find it. I will find out. There we go. 850 00:45:34,855 --> 00:45:37,615 Speaker 3: I'll add that to another nice of you to take 851 00:45:37,655 --> 00:45:40,015 Speaker 3: care of. Bye by then, Oh eight hundred and eighty 852 00:45:40,055 --> 00:45:43,975 Speaker 3: ten eighty is that number to call Tanya A very 853 00:45:43,975 --> 00:45:44,815 Speaker 3: good morning to you. 854 00:45:46,095 --> 00:45:47,135 Speaker 14: Oh, good morning. Deep. 855 00:45:48,175 --> 00:45:51,095 Speaker 6: I've got mold on my Queen led. 856 00:45:51,015 --> 00:45:55,815 Speaker 7: Dick and I've used lissons to get and hit the deck, 857 00:45:55,895 --> 00:46:00,335 Speaker 7: which hasn't worked in removing them mold. Could I use 858 00:46:00,375 --> 00:46:01,815 Speaker 7: a light water blood? 859 00:46:03,335 --> 00:46:07,575 Speaker 3: Be very careful, I know, seriously, And to be fair, 860 00:46:07,695 --> 00:46:09,615 Speaker 3: it was on my list to do some water blasting 861 00:46:09,655 --> 00:46:11,935 Speaker 3: yesterday of concrete paths. I wasn't going to water blast 862 00:46:11,975 --> 00:46:14,335 Speaker 3: any timber yesterday. I just didn't get round to it. 863 00:46:15,015 --> 00:46:17,655 Speaker 3: I big fan of water blasting, but I prefer to 864 00:46:17,695 --> 00:46:20,415 Speaker 3: call it pressure washing, right, So there's a role for 865 00:46:20,455 --> 00:46:24,375 Speaker 3: the water blasting it is not going two thousand psi 866 00:46:24,535 --> 00:46:27,335 Speaker 3: at two and a half inches above the timber, ripping 867 00:46:27,575 --> 00:46:30,095 Speaker 3: through all of the fibers, right, which is what I 868 00:46:30,135 --> 00:46:32,735 Speaker 3: saw someone do the other day. And it looks great today, 869 00:46:33,055 --> 00:46:35,575 Speaker 3: you know, it looks bright and all the rest of it. 870 00:46:35,615 --> 00:46:38,655 Speaker 3: But the damage to the fiber is now permanent. Right, 871 00:46:39,855 --> 00:46:46,975 Speaker 3: So look, I think, yeah, I've used the wit and 872 00:46:47,055 --> 00:46:52,175 Speaker 3: forget the had the deck right, and had quite good 873 00:46:52,215 --> 00:46:57,815 Speaker 3: of results from it. Right, So I wonder whether another 874 00:46:57,895 --> 00:47:03,935 Speaker 3: application of that might help. And certainly applying like applying 875 00:47:04,055 --> 00:47:08,775 Speaker 3: a proprietary deck wash solution is far more effective than 876 00:47:08,855 --> 00:47:12,255 Speaker 3: not applying a solution. So just hitting it with water 877 00:47:12,295 --> 00:47:14,975 Speaker 3: blast or hitting it with a scrubbing brush is not 878 00:47:15,055 --> 00:47:18,855 Speaker 3: as effective as treating it. So that's definitely the way 879 00:47:18,855 --> 00:47:21,575 Speaker 3: to go, whether or not you might have to do too. 880 00:47:21,655 --> 00:47:25,055 Speaker 3: And then the other question is if what you're going 881 00:47:25,095 --> 00:47:28,815 Speaker 3: to do is just clean the deck and then wait 882 00:47:28,855 --> 00:47:31,255 Speaker 3: for the mold to reappear, you might want to start 883 00:47:31,295 --> 00:47:33,015 Speaker 3: looking at well, if I clean the deck, let it 884 00:47:33,095 --> 00:47:36,455 Speaker 3: dry thoroughly, do I apply a coating to it, maybe 885 00:47:36,495 --> 00:47:39,775 Speaker 3: like a penetrating oil stain that will help resist some 886 00:47:39,895 --> 00:47:40,855 Speaker 3: of that mold growth. 887 00:47:41,815 --> 00:47:43,135 Speaker 4: Yeah, I do want to stain it. 888 00:47:43,175 --> 00:47:44,935 Speaker 7: There's a stain on there at the moment, but just 889 00:47:45,055 --> 00:47:46,895 Speaker 7: needs restain there. 890 00:47:47,015 --> 00:47:47,255 Speaker 6: Yeah. 891 00:47:47,335 --> 00:47:49,615 Speaker 3: Now it's the other thing, and I'm sort of straying 892 00:47:49,615 --> 00:47:51,655 Speaker 3: into Bryce's territory here, but one of the things that 893 00:47:51,695 --> 00:47:54,295 Speaker 3: I have learned from both Bryce and Jay our razine 894 00:47:54,335 --> 00:47:57,575 Speaker 3: experts is whatever system you've got, you kind of have 895 00:47:57,695 --> 00:48:01,655 Speaker 3: to stick with it. So, you know, if it's a 896 00:48:02,095 --> 00:48:04,895 Speaker 3: waterborne stain, then stick with water born. If it's an 897 00:48:04,895 --> 00:48:07,655 Speaker 3: oil based stain, stick with oil base. And if you 898 00:48:08,095 --> 00:48:11,215 Speaker 3: if you're unsure about what system was already there, do 899 00:48:11,295 --> 00:48:13,055 Speaker 3: a little bit of testing to make sure that you 900 00:48:13,055 --> 00:48:15,095 Speaker 3: don't run into incompatibility issues. 901 00:48:16,135 --> 00:48:18,335 Speaker 4: Yep, understand what you're saying. Yep, I've got that. 902 00:48:18,815 --> 00:48:21,775 Speaker 3: Oh you know what it is. Okay, then it's fine. Yeah, 903 00:48:21,775 --> 00:48:24,975 Speaker 3: maybe just another application of the cleaner and certainly rinse 904 00:48:25,135 --> 00:48:28,415 Speaker 3: off with a water blaster. But either if you've got 905 00:48:28,415 --> 00:48:31,535 Speaker 3: the function to dial down the temp the pressure of them, 906 00:48:32,055 --> 00:48:34,495 Speaker 3: or just you know, come back a little bit further 907 00:48:35,855 --> 00:48:41,455 Speaker 3: understand Yeah, little alrighty all the best take care. By then, 908 00:48:41,695 --> 00:48:43,255 Speaker 3: oh eight one hundred and eighty ten eight, you've got 909 00:48:43,255 --> 00:48:45,335 Speaker 3: time for a couple of calls before we talk to Bryce, 910 00:48:45,415 --> 00:48:49,335 Speaker 3: our painting expert, at six seven thirty this morning. It 911 00:48:49,415 --> 00:48:52,255 Speaker 3: is currently just after seven point fifteen here in New Storks. 912 00:48:52,255 --> 00:48:56,375 Speaker 3: The b a couple of texts through. I'll give them 913 00:48:56,455 --> 00:48:58,935 Speaker 3: some good painting questions, which is awesome, so send those 914 00:48:58,975 --> 00:49:02,295 Speaker 3: through for Bryce. Someone has steps through to say shower 915 00:49:02,335 --> 00:49:05,015 Speaker 3: domes do not meet the Healthy Home standards and you 916 00:49:05,095 --> 00:49:08,855 Speaker 3: still require extra when renting. I thought that would have 917 00:49:08,895 --> 00:49:11,055 Speaker 3: been the case because it's quite clear in the Healthy 918 00:49:11,095 --> 00:49:14,655 Speaker 3: Home Standards this is for residential tendencies that you now 919 00:49:14,775 --> 00:49:18,015 Speaker 3: must have extraction from bathrooms and of course you have 920 00:49:18,095 --> 00:49:22,575 Speaker 3: to have extraction from ventilation into kitchens as well. So 921 00:49:22,615 --> 00:49:25,655 Speaker 3: thanks very much for that. And with regard to my question, 922 00:49:25,695 --> 00:49:28,735 Speaker 3: I was looking for an uninterrupted power supplier a UPS, 923 00:49:29,135 --> 00:49:31,855 Speaker 3: so you get a battery bank that will automatically change 924 00:49:31,895 --> 00:49:34,295 Speaker 3: over when the powers interrupted. This is if you've got 925 00:49:34,295 --> 00:49:38,015 Speaker 3: a in this instance a chamber that collects a bit 926 00:49:38,095 --> 00:49:41,655 Speaker 3: of storm water but also groundwater. Will surface water drops 927 00:49:41,695 --> 00:49:45,495 Speaker 3: into a chamber in front of a basement area. The 928 00:49:45,535 --> 00:49:47,895 Speaker 3: only way to get rid of the water from there 929 00:49:47,975 --> 00:49:50,055 Speaker 3: is via the pump. So even if it was a 930 00:49:50,055 --> 00:49:53,095 Speaker 3: bubble up one, that's not useful. So can you get 931 00:49:53,135 --> 00:49:56,175 Speaker 3: a system whereby if you get heavy rain and a 932 00:49:56,215 --> 00:49:58,655 Speaker 3: power cut, which, to be fair, is not unlikely that 933 00:49:58,775 --> 00:50:02,535 Speaker 3: you've got a dedicated power source for that, that will 934 00:50:02,575 --> 00:50:06,535 Speaker 3: change over automatically. And I mean automatically too. If you 935 00:50:06,575 --> 00:50:09,735 Speaker 3: weren't home, would it change over? And apparently they're out there. 936 00:50:10,535 --> 00:50:12,335 Speaker 3: If anyone happens to have an name, that would be 937 00:50:12,335 --> 00:50:14,975 Speaker 3: even more helpful. Oh, eight hundred eighty eighty is the 938 00:50:15,055 --> 00:50:17,175 Speaker 3: number to call Fred A very good morning to you. 939 00:50:17,935 --> 00:50:21,375 Speaker 11: Oh, good morning, So Fred might be a a week question. 940 00:50:23,775 --> 00:50:26,455 Speaker 3: Well, okay, ask it first. 941 00:50:27,695 --> 00:50:30,855 Speaker 11: We've got a shower which backs onto the hall, and 942 00:50:30,935 --> 00:50:33,135 Speaker 11: I'm getting a little bit of water back into the 943 00:50:33,255 --> 00:50:34,135 Speaker 11: carpet in the hall. 944 00:50:34,255 --> 00:50:34,615 Speaker 3: Gotcha. 945 00:50:35,735 --> 00:50:37,495 Speaker 11: The house is about twenty five years old, so I 946 00:50:37,535 --> 00:50:42,255 Speaker 11: don't know where they where. Your ceilings for showers was 947 00:50:42,415 --> 00:50:44,055 Speaker 11: strong in those days. That is what it does now. 948 00:50:46,575 --> 00:50:51,415 Speaker 11: It doesn't appear to be any obvious from the grouting 949 00:50:51,695 --> 00:50:53,655 Speaker 11: from the inside. The shower looks. 950 00:50:53,375 --> 00:50:59,095 Speaker 3: Okay, yep, twenty five years ago. Is it a fully 951 00:50:59,215 --> 00:51:02,255 Speaker 3: tiled shower, so the floor and the walls are all tiled. 952 00:51:03,655 --> 00:51:06,935 Speaker 3: Do the tiles extend outside of the shower and onto 953 00:51:06,975 --> 00:51:07,455 Speaker 3: the walls? 954 00:51:08,135 --> 00:51:08,215 Speaker 15: No? 955 00:51:10,695 --> 00:51:13,855 Speaker 3: Okay? And is there a. Is it level entry or 956 00:51:13,895 --> 00:51:15,855 Speaker 3: is there a hob like a little upstand that you 957 00:51:15,895 --> 00:51:16,415 Speaker 3: step over? 958 00:51:17,855 --> 00:51:18,615 Speaker 11: There's an upstand. 959 00:51:18,695 --> 00:51:25,455 Speaker 3: There is an upstand. Okay. Is the mixer or the 960 00:51:25,495 --> 00:51:30,015 Speaker 3: shower rose itself on the wall where you're seeing the leak. 961 00:51:30,695 --> 00:51:32,015 Speaker 11: No, it's on the opposite wall. 962 00:51:32,135 --> 00:51:35,255 Speaker 3: Okay, all right. The reason I asked that is sometimes 963 00:51:35,375 --> 00:51:38,015 Speaker 3: you know, the leak can actually come from the fittings, 964 00:51:38,775 --> 00:51:40,935 Speaker 3: in which case it'll be draining down through the wall 965 00:51:40,975 --> 00:51:43,575 Speaker 3: cavity and you'll see it on that side because the 966 00:51:43,615 --> 00:51:46,135 Speaker 3: waterproofing is stopping it going into the shower in this case, 967 00:51:46,135 --> 00:51:49,175 Speaker 3: and it's pointing it the other way. And I presume 968 00:51:49,215 --> 00:51:52,735 Speaker 3: that the leaking or the moisture that you're seeing is 969 00:51:53,055 --> 00:51:56,575 Speaker 3: around the skirting line. So it's at the bottom, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep. 970 00:51:56,975 --> 00:52:00,775 Speaker 3: Concrete floor, timber floor, concrete floor. Right, So it's not 971 00:52:00,815 --> 00:52:02,215 Speaker 3: like you can get under and have a look. 972 00:52:02,655 --> 00:52:06,015 Speaker 11: No difficult. 973 00:52:07,695 --> 00:52:11,575 Speaker 3: I think if it's obvious, and given that you've seen it, 974 00:52:11,655 --> 00:52:15,295 Speaker 3: let's assume that it is. I wonder whether the first 975 00:52:15,295 --> 00:52:17,375 Speaker 3: thing you're probably going to have to do is cut 976 00:52:17,375 --> 00:52:20,255 Speaker 3: a section out of the plaster board on the hallway 977 00:52:20,335 --> 00:52:26,215 Speaker 3: side and have a look inside, and that'll because in 978 00:52:26,255 --> 00:52:27,535 Speaker 3: the end, you know, if you have to do a 979 00:52:27,575 --> 00:52:31,575 Speaker 3: repair there, it's not actually that hard to repair plaster board, 980 00:52:31,575 --> 00:52:35,175 Speaker 3: but it'll give you an idea of what's happening. I suspect, 981 00:52:35,415 --> 00:52:38,535 Speaker 3: knowing what I know and having done waterproofing twenty five 982 00:52:38,615 --> 00:52:44,615 Speaker 3: years ago, it's some systems were good. Many systems were 983 00:52:44,655 --> 00:52:47,335 Speaker 3: not as good as what we've got today. And so 984 00:52:47,455 --> 00:52:52,255 Speaker 3: I do wonder whether there's been either some movement and 985 00:52:52,415 --> 00:52:57,135 Speaker 3: some tearing in the junctions, particularly often ninety degree corners, 986 00:52:57,575 --> 00:53:00,455 Speaker 3: or around the shower waste itself, if that's not particularly 987 00:53:00,535 --> 00:53:05,055 Speaker 3: well sealed. When you have a shower, does the water 988 00:53:05,095 --> 00:53:06,895 Speaker 3: go out through the waste quickly? 989 00:53:08,535 --> 00:53:11,615 Speaker 11: Well, it's not not a shower I personally use very much. 990 00:53:11,455 --> 00:53:12,855 Speaker 3: But right, okay, from. 991 00:53:12,735 --> 00:53:16,495 Speaker 11: What I remember when I did use it, it was okay. 992 00:53:16,215 --> 00:53:20,415 Speaker 3: Yeah, went away quickly. Okay, Look, I think Fred unfortunately, 993 00:53:20,615 --> 00:53:23,535 Speaker 3: I would probably cut a hole in the plaster board 994 00:53:23,775 --> 00:53:27,335 Speaker 3: so that I can see what's happening there and then 995 00:53:27,415 --> 00:53:29,935 Speaker 3: go from there. And you know, if it is a 996 00:53:29,935 --> 00:53:33,735 Speaker 3: case that yes, it's obviously leaking through. You know, when 997 00:53:33,775 --> 00:53:35,735 Speaker 3: you have a shower, the water is going through the tiles, 998 00:53:35,735 --> 00:53:38,935 Speaker 3: through the groud, through the waterproofing and coming out underneath 999 00:53:38,935 --> 00:53:42,375 Speaker 3: the bottom plate and into the hallway. Then it's going 1000 00:53:42,415 --> 00:53:44,735 Speaker 3: to be a strip out of the shower and a 1001 00:53:44,775 --> 00:53:48,455 Speaker 3: complete replacement. There's there's no easy repair to that. 1002 00:53:50,055 --> 00:53:54,975 Speaker 11: Yeah, So so if you went the whole hog replacement, 1003 00:53:55,655 --> 00:53:59,615 Speaker 11: would would you retile and that sort of thing or 1004 00:53:59,655 --> 00:54:02,175 Speaker 11: would you go for the cubicle showers. 1005 00:54:03,015 --> 00:54:05,735 Speaker 3: Look, there's no reason that you shouldn't retile it, like, 1006 00:54:05,775 --> 00:54:08,895 Speaker 3: if that's your preference, then, but you'd have to do 1007 00:54:08,935 --> 00:54:13,655 Speaker 3: it to today's building coat, so the substrate might be 1008 00:54:13,695 --> 00:54:19,535 Speaker 3: slightly different. Certainly, the waterproofing systems have improved dramatically, whether 1009 00:54:19,575 --> 00:54:23,415 Speaker 3: that's a peel and stick type system, so a membrane 1010 00:54:23,415 --> 00:54:27,655 Speaker 3: type system or a brush on waterproofing system. But today, 1011 00:54:27,735 --> 00:54:30,495 Speaker 3: you know, we often put bond breakers in and tapes 1012 00:54:30,575 --> 00:54:32,495 Speaker 3: and those sorts of things that we might not have 1013 00:54:32,535 --> 00:54:37,375 Speaker 3: done twenty five years ago. And then but chances are 1014 00:54:37,415 --> 00:54:39,895 Speaker 3: when you take the tiles off, it'll damage the waterproofing. 1015 00:54:40,095 --> 00:54:42,775 Speaker 3: Waterproofing's already failed, so you got to take the waterproofing off. 1016 00:54:43,015 --> 00:54:46,255 Speaker 3: You won't get the waterproofing off without replacing the substrate. 1017 00:54:46,695 --> 00:54:50,255 Speaker 3: So in that shower area and probably for quite a 1018 00:54:50,295 --> 00:54:53,095 Speaker 3: distance beyond you'll be pulling it right off back to 1019 00:54:53,135 --> 00:54:56,375 Speaker 3: the beer framing and starting again and building up from there. 1020 00:54:57,655 --> 00:55:00,815 Speaker 11: So yes, stupid question. On a substraate, Oh. 1021 00:55:00,695 --> 00:55:03,135 Speaker 3: Substrate is just a term that we have for the 1022 00:55:03,255 --> 00:55:07,295 Speaker 3: layer underneath the waterproofing. So in some cases it might 1023 00:55:07,335 --> 00:55:10,015 Speaker 3: be a fiber cement sheet is an option, and other 1024 00:55:10,095 --> 00:55:13,775 Speaker 3: cases you can use specific types of plaster board are 1025 00:55:13,815 --> 00:55:18,375 Speaker 3: options and they are the substrate for the waterproofing. So 1026 00:55:18,975 --> 00:55:21,735 Speaker 3: again it depends a little bit. Today there are other 1027 00:55:21,775 --> 00:55:24,615 Speaker 3: options as well where you've actually got wall linings that 1028 00:55:24,735 --> 00:55:29,695 Speaker 3: are the waterproofing system. Now that might that might actually 1029 00:55:29,695 --> 00:55:33,015 Speaker 3: work as a substitution. So there's there's specific boards that 1030 00:55:33,055 --> 00:55:38,655 Speaker 3: are available. I think probably your next step after investigating, 1031 00:55:38,695 --> 00:55:40,735 Speaker 3: and that might be a job for a plumber or 1032 00:55:40,935 --> 00:55:43,255 Speaker 3: possibly a tiler would come and have a look, or 1033 00:55:43,615 --> 00:55:48,935 Speaker 3: an experienced LBP would be to then you know, talk 1034 00:55:48,975 --> 00:55:52,135 Speaker 3: to someone and get them to facilitate the coordination of 1035 00:55:52,175 --> 00:56:01,255 Speaker 3: all of those trades. Yeah, and bathrooms are complicated because 1036 00:56:01,255 --> 00:56:03,775 Speaker 3: there's so much happening in a small area. You know, 1037 00:56:03,975 --> 00:56:06,775 Speaker 3: typically if you think about doing some work on a bedroom, 1038 00:56:06,815 --> 00:56:08,215 Speaker 3: you know, if you strip it out, you've got a 1039 00:56:08,215 --> 00:56:11,175 Speaker 3: carpenter comes in strips, the wall lining out, replaces the 1040 00:56:11,175 --> 00:56:14,415 Speaker 3: wall lining, does the trims, stopping and painting. Right. But 1041 00:56:14,535 --> 00:56:19,935 Speaker 3: in a bathroom, suddenly you've got you know, tyler, waterproofer, carpenter, plumber, 1042 00:56:21,335 --> 00:56:25,215 Speaker 3: glass installer. That's why bathrooms are expensive because there's so 1043 00:56:25,295 --> 00:56:26,495 Speaker 3: many subtraits involved. 1044 00:56:27,455 --> 00:56:33,615 Speaker 11: M well, sorry, it's well. 1045 00:56:33,655 --> 00:56:35,655 Speaker 3: I can tell you one thing with les, they never 1046 00:56:35,695 --> 00:56:40,695 Speaker 3: get better on their own. Yeah, very good, all right, 1047 00:56:41,015 --> 00:56:43,255 Speaker 3: good luck with that. But a bit of investigation is 1048 00:56:43,295 --> 00:56:46,575 Speaker 3: the first step. Yeah, all the very best. You take 1049 00:56:46,615 --> 00:56:50,095 Speaker 3: care for them. Let me see I need, I need 1050 00:56:50,095 --> 00:56:51,495 Speaker 3: to take a break. Let's do that, and then we'll 1051 00:56:51,495 --> 00:56:53,135 Speaker 3: have a chat with Daniel back in a moment a 1052 00:56:53,215 --> 00:56:55,815 Speaker 3: year with news talks there we're talking all things building. Daniel, 1053 00:56:55,855 --> 00:56:58,775 Speaker 3: Good morning to you. I have a game mate, not 1054 00:56:58,895 --> 00:57:00,335 Speaker 3: too bad in yourself. 1055 00:57:01,015 --> 00:57:04,495 Speaker 15: No, good, good. I just had a quick question. Sure 1056 00:57:05,815 --> 00:57:11,055 Speaker 15: the council like they they wrung me up and the 1057 00:57:11,495 --> 00:57:16,375 Speaker 15: next door neighbor had been flooding, and they were like, oh, 1058 00:57:16,415 --> 00:57:19,935 Speaker 15: can we put a pipe running straight through the back 1059 00:57:19,975 --> 00:57:24,735 Speaker 15: of your section and you know, to get rid of 1060 00:57:24,775 --> 00:57:27,095 Speaker 15: their water. And I said, oh, you know, that's fine. 1061 00:57:27,135 --> 00:57:29,975 Speaker 15: That was just on a phone call. And then and 1062 00:57:30,055 --> 00:57:34,735 Speaker 15: now they've just I've just noticed that there's there's a 1063 00:57:34,775 --> 00:57:37,775 Speaker 15: manhole in the back of the section, you know, right, yeah, 1064 00:57:38,095 --> 00:57:39,975 Speaker 15: And I don't know what to do about because I 1065 00:57:40,055 --> 00:57:43,135 Speaker 15: never signed anything, or I was just wondering sort of 1066 00:57:43,135 --> 00:57:44,175 Speaker 15: how will you go about that? 1067 00:57:45,415 --> 00:57:48,255 Speaker 3: I have to say it sounds a little bit unusual 1068 00:57:48,335 --> 00:57:52,815 Speaker 3: that just verbally, like on a phone call, council would say, hey, look, 1069 00:57:52,855 --> 00:57:56,735 Speaker 3: can we come and extend the public storm water through 1070 00:57:56,815 --> 00:58:02,255 Speaker 3: your property and to your neighbor because obviously did they 1071 00:58:02,335 --> 00:58:04,775 Speaker 3: rock up there with diggers and rip open a trench 1072 00:58:04,935 --> 00:58:07,015 Speaker 3: lay and pipe and all that sort of thing, or 1073 00:58:07,015 --> 00:58:08,215 Speaker 3: did they thrust it through. 1074 00:58:09,095 --> 00:58:11,415 Speaker 15: Most of I was never there because it was a 1075 00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:15,255 Speaker 15: rental property, right okay, And the people have moved out, 1076 00:58:15,295 --> 00:58:18,175 Speaker 15: And now I've just noticed that there's a dirty, great 1077 00:58:18,255 --> 00:58:19,495 Speaker 15: big manhole there, you know. 1078 00:58:19,775 --> 00:58:24,775 Speaker 3: And that manhole is that there to allow your stormwater 1079 00:58:24,935 --> 00:58:27,295 Speaker 3: to connect to the new Like where was your storm 1080 00:58:27,335 --> 00:58:27,855 Speaker 3: water going? 1081 00:58:29,175 --> 00:58:32,615 Speaker 15: Well, my stormwater was already there was already one going 1082 00:58:32,655 --> 00:58:37,495 Speaker 15: straight through my property from the man hole above their property, 1083 00:58:39,295 --> 00:58:44,175 Speaker 15: right okay, So since they like their man hole was 1084 00:58:44,215 --> 00:58:48,495 Speaker 15: always like blowing out and all the water was rushing 1085 00:58:48,495 --> 00:58:52,695 Speaker 15: down and flooding this other place. And then so they 1086 00:58:52,815 --> 00:58:56,655 Speaker 15: must have put a pipe from down there somewhere and 1087 00:58:57,095 --> 00:59:01,055 Speaker 15: right and shot it across. But now there's a manhole 1088 00:59:01,375 --> 00:59:02,735 Speaker 15: right in the back of my. 1089 00:59:02,695 --> 00:59:06,175 Speaker 3: Section, which I mean. 1090 00:59:07,975 --> 00:59:10,015 Speaker 15: We would I would have thought there there would have been, 1091 00:59:10,975 --> 00:59:13,175 Speaker 15: you know, something there. We would have awad to sign 1092 00:59:13,215 --> 00:59:16,815 Speaker 15: and plans. I would have seen them to be fair. 1093 00:59:16,815 --> 00:59:19,495 Speaker 3: That's the bit that I'm a little bit perplexed by, 1094 00:59:19,655 --> 00:59:23,255 Speaker 3: right that, like, there must have been even even for 1095 00:59:23,295 --> 00:59:24,935 Speaker 3: them to go and get the work done, they would 1096 00:59:24,935 --> 00:59:26,935 Speaker 3: have had to have drawn a plan, submit it and 1097 00:59:26,975 --> 00:59:29,935 Speaker 3: given it to their contractors in order to follow. You 1098 00:59:29,935 --> 00:59:32,055 Speaker 3: don't just ring the contractor and say, hey, look, just 1099 00:59:32,055 --> 00:59:35,135 Speaker 3: pop round to Daniel's place there, rip up the back 1100 00:59:35,215 --> 00:59:37,895 Speaker 3: law and throw in some pipe, whacking a manhole while 1101 00:59:37,895 --> 00:59:40,615 Speaker 3: you're there, and you guys just do what you feel 1102 00:59:40,655 --> 00:59:42,695 Speaker 3: like doing. So there's got to be a bit of 1103 00:59:42,735 --> 00:59:45,695 Speaker 3: a paper trail. I think in the first instance, I 1104 00:59:45,735 --> 00:59:48,975 Speaker 3: would probably go back to counsel and go, look, I'm 1105 00:59:49,015 --> 00:59:51,335 Speaker 3: the property owner of such and such a property DP 1106 00:59:51,535 --> 00:59:53,735 Speaker 3: number Da Da da da da. Can you please send 1107 00:59:53,815 --> 00:59:58,135 Speaker 3: me a copy of the plans that consent or the 1108 00:59:58,215 --> 01:00:01,695 Speaker 3: authority to do the work and an as belt for 1109 01:00:01,855 --> 01:00:04,935 Speaker 3: my records? Right, because you've obviously entered my property to 1110 01:00:04,975 --> 01:00:08,175 Speaker 3: do this work. See what their response is. I mean, 1111 01:00:08,215 --> 01:00:11,055 Speaker 3: if they don't have a response to that, that would 1112 01:00:11,095 --> 01:00:14,855 Speaker 3: be quite interesting. But I would start there. 1113 01:00:15,895 --> 01:00:19,415 Speaker 15: Yeah. I did go to the council and then the 1114 01:00:19,495 --> 01:00:23,455 Speaker 15: body of the city council one and then they said, oh, 1115 01:00:23,615 --> 01:00:25,615 Speaker 15: I know, there's not something we would have done that 1116 01:00:25,655 --> 01:00:31,655 Speaker 15: there would have been well Into Water okay, And yeah, 1117 01:00:31,695 --> 01:00:35,375 Speaker 15: they sent something through to them and said that they'll 1118 01:00:35,375 --> 01:00:40,575 Speaker 15: get hold of me and and they sent an email. 1119 01:00:40,695 --> 01:00:42,815 Speaker 15: But I've tried getting hold of them. 1120 01:00:42,855 --> 01:00:48,375 Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, I can understand the frustration. I think 1121 01:00:48,415 --> 01:00:51,055 Speaker 3: in this instance, if it is Wellington Water acting sort 1122 01:00:51,055 --> 01:00:54,375 Speaker 3: of as the authority in the area, I would still 1123 01:00:54,415 --> 01:00:56,975 Speaker 3: have thought that they would have needed permission to enter 1124 01:00:57,015 --> 01:00:59,895 Speaker 3: the property and there would there should be a paper trail, right, 1125 01:00:59,975 --> 01:01:02,695 Speaker 3: So I'd start with them. I can imagine that it 1126 01:01:02,855 --> 01:01:05,655 Speaker 3: might not be that easy, but you're just going to 1127 01:01:05,695 --> 01:01:09,135 Speaker 3: be persistent and get a paper trail and get an 1128 01:01:09,175 --> 01:01:12,415 Speaker 3: ass built. Ideally, if it's a public line that runs 1129 01:01:12,415 --> 01:01:14,975 Speaker 3: through your property, I would ask for a copy of 1130 01:01:15,015 --> 01:01:18,935 Speaker 3: the cc CCTV survey that they should have done at 1131 01:01:18,975 --> 01:01:21,895 Speaker 3: the end of it to show that it works. Properly, 1132 01:01:23,295 --> 01:01:26,815 Speaker 3: and yeah, there's got to be a paper trail. 1133 01:01:28,095 --> 01:01:31,295 Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, it's just everyone. I'm talking to them. No 1134 01:01:31,335 --> 01:01:33,655 Speaker 15: one knows nothing, you know, and you know, and they 1135 01:01:33,695 --> 01:01:35,695 Speaker 15: put you onto someone else and then they know nothing. 1136 01:01:36,495 --> 01:01:37,015 Speaker 6: You know what I mean? 1137 01:01:38,175 --> 01:01:39,055 Speaker 15: Bar want to gone? 1138 01:01:39,175 --> 01:01:39,815 Speaker 13: Do you know what I mean? 1139 01:01:40,775 --> 01:01:42,575 Speaker 3: I don't know that you'll have much luck in getting 1140 01:01:42,575 --> 01:01:45,775 Speaker 3: it gone. And I raised an issue a couple of 1141 01:01:45,815 --> 01:01:49,175 Speaker 3: weeks ago where I'd read an article online about a 1142 01:01:49,215 --> 01:01:51,095 Speaker 3: guy who kind of was a bit upset and a 1143 01:01:51,095 --> 01:01:54,375 Speaker 3: bit you know, perplexed as to how this manhole suddenly 1144 01:01:54,415 --> 01:01:57,335 Speaker 3: appeared in his driveway right outside his front door. And 1145 01:01:57,375 --> 01:01:59,895 Speaker 3: it was a development across the road where they thrust 1146 01:02:00,095 --> 01:02:04,015 Speaker 3: a new storm water line underneath the road, underneath his 1147 01:02:04,255 --> 01:02:07,655 Speaker 3: driveway or shared driveway to make a connection to a 1148 01:02:07,815 --> 01:02:11,895 Speaker 3: public stormwater line, and then installed, as they often do, 1149 01:02:12,095 --> 01:02:17,735 Speaker 3: a manhole at that point for maintenance purposes, right, And 1150 01:02:18,655 --> 01:02:23,575 Speaker 3: I think he had little to know ability to prevent 1151 01:02:23,655 --> 01:02:27,055 Speaker 3: that from happening. So I think in these instances where 1152 01:02:27,095 --> 01:02:31,775 Speaker 3: it's a public good, let's say, counsel could possibly override 1153 01:02:31,855 --> 01:02:36,535 Speaker 3: your individual rights. Again, great question to ask our property guy, 1154 01:02:36,575 --> 01:02:38,215 Speaker 3: who's going to join me in a few weeks time. 1155 01:02:39,255 --> 01:02:42,935 Speaker 3: Got a specialist public property lawyer coming on the show, 1156 01:02:42,975 --> 01:02:46,095 Speaker 3: so I'll add that to my lot increasingly growing list 1157 01:02:46,135 --> 01:02:48,855 Speaker 3: of questions to ask him. But I think in your instance, 1158 01:02:50,055 --> 01:02:52,055 Speaker 3: none of this could have happened without there being some 1159 01:02:52,215 --> 01:02:56,015 Speaker 3: paper trail. So it's just a question now of going, hey, 1160 01:02:56,695 --> 01:02:58,855 Speaker 3: I need answers for this. The other thing is if 1161 01:02:58,895 --> 01:03:01,495 Speaker 3: you're not getting answers from the bureaucrats right the people 1162 01:03:01,535 --> 01:03:05,335 Speaker 3: at Wellington Water, is to go to your local board 1163 01:03:05,335 --> 01:03:09,015 Speaker 3: representative and go, hey, here's a good issue for you. 1164 01:03:09,095 --> 01:03:12,015 Speaker 3: Can you give some heft Given that we've all got 1165 01:03:12,015 --> 01:03:14,975 Speaker 3: local body elections happening next year, you'll tend to find 1166 01:03:15,015 --> 01:03:16,975 Speaker 3: that you get a decent response from them. So try 1167 01:03:17,015 --> 01:03:21,735 Speaker 3: Wellington Water tray your local board representative, and I'm pretty 1168 01:03:21,735 --> 01:03:24,495 Speaker 3: curious to be honestandiel, So if you get some answers, 1169 01:03:24,815 --> 01:03:26,215 Speaker 3: give us a call back in a couple of weeks. 1170 01:03:27,015 --> 01:03:30,855 Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, because when when when I when I was 1171 01:03:30,855 --> 01:03:33,135 Speaker 15: talking to them and I said, oh, yeah, it's okay, 1172 01:03:33,255 --> 01:03:34,855 Speaker 15: I said, but I want to I want to build 1173 01:03:34,895 --> 01:03:35,975 Speaker 15: down there at some stage. 1174 01:03:36,055 --> 01:03:40,775 Speaker 3: So they've got afore you in which case now you 1175 01:03:40,815 --> 01:03:42,975 Speaker 3: have to bridge over it. So that's not easy. 1176 01:03:44,015 --> 01:03:45,975 Speaker 15: Yeah, but but I said to them, as long as 1177 01:03:46,215 --> 01:03:51,455 Speaker 15: you know, as long as it doesn't you know, you know, 1178 01:03:51,535 --> 01:03:53,295 Speaker 15: you're given the way of what I'm trying to do, 1179 01:03:54,015 --> 01:03:54,495 Speaker 15: and it. 1180 01:03:54,495 --> 01:03:58,935 Speaker 3: Will be now, and you don't want to go through 1181 01:03:58,975 --> 01:04:01,455 Speaker 3: the expense of changing it, so suddenly you'll be bridging it. 1182 01:04:03,255 --> 01:04:07,575 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, get onto council and let us know how 1183 01:04:07,615 --> 01:04:08,095 Speaker 3: you get. 1184 01:04:07,895 --> 01:04:10,895 Speaker 15: On Yet thinking alright, you. 1185 01:04:10,815 --> 01:04:16,375 Speaker 3: Take court care all the best by way. Um, someone's 1186 01:04:16,415 --> 01:04:18,575 Speaker 3: text through and said, if it was a rental property, 1187 01:04:18,575 --> 01:04:20,415 Speaker 3: I bet you they dealt with the tenants thinking they 1188 01:04:20,455 --> 01:04:24,095 Speaker 3: were the owners. It's possible, but you'd also look at 1189 01:04:24,095 --> 01:04:27,975 Speaker 3: that and go, crikey, that's that's pretty poor administration if 1190 01:04:28,015 --> 01:04:30,015 Speaker 3: you don't. Actually, I mean, how long would it take 1191 01:04:30,055 --> 01:04:32,135 Speaker 3: to figure out who the actual legal owner of the 1192 01:04:32,135 --> 01:04:35,095 Speaker 3: property is a couple of minutes with the records that 1193 01:04:35,095 --> 01:04:38,615 Speaker 3: they've got. I mean, Daniel's paying the rates. You think 1194 01:04:38,655 --> 01:04:42,015 Speaker 3: you'd give him a call, but he's not there. It 1195 01:04:42,015 --> 01:04:45,375 Speaker 3: could be the landlord's permission to the owners pipe through 1196 01:04:45,415 --> 01:04:48,695 Speaker 3: our question who pays on our section? That's a big ouch. 1197 01:04:48,815 --> 01:04:50,895 Speaker 3: That's a good question. Oh eight one hundred and eighty 1198 01:04:51,015 --> 01:04:52,815 Speaker 3: ten eighty. Well, we'll put that on hold for a 1199 01:04:52,815 --> 01:04:56,695 Speaker 3: minute because we'll take your text questions for our painting 1200 01:04:56,775 --> 01:05:01,095 Speaker 3: expert Bryce McDermott from regularly contributed to the show. Always 1201 01:05:01,095 --> 01:05:02,655 Speaker 3: great to have him on. He's going to join me 1202 01:05:02,695 --> 01:05:04,495 Speaker 3: in just a moment straight after the break.

Nine to nine two zid 1204 01:05:08,335 --> 01:05:12,375 Speaker 3: BZB is the text number for you right now. You 1205 01:05:12,535 --> 01:05:14,295 Speaker 3: when you talk, there be people of camp with you 1206 01:05:14,335 --> 01:05:18,615 Speaker 3: and our painting expert Bryce from Razine A very good morning, sir. 1207 01:05:19,055 --> 01:05:20,855 Speaker 7: Good morning, how are you good? 1208 01:05:20,935 --> 01:05:23,735 Speaker 3: Good? And we talked to one of your colleagues earlier on, 1209 01:05:23,895 --> 01:05:27,175 Speaker 3: Richard Meurehead, who does the automotive and light industrial stuff, 1210 01:05:27,495 --> 01:05:29,575 Speaker 3: so he's up in Barcelona. Because it seems like the 1211 01:05:29,615 --> 01:05:32,735 Speaker 3: secret sauce for the for the Kiwi's has been the 1212 01:05:33,255 --> 01:05:35,815 Speaker 3: razine coating. It makes it all go faster. 1213 01:05:37,015 --> 01:05:40,015 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's exactly sure. What the coating is. 1214 01:05:40,735 --> 01:05:43,815 Speaker 3: Dura box Apparently, whatever it is, it's worked, it's worked. 1215 01:05:43,895 --> 01:05:48,575 Speaker 3: Theah absolutely. Hey, as it happens, one of our earlier 1216 01:05:48,615 --> 01:05:52,375 Speaker 3: callers was saying, look, I've had a go at cleaning 1217 01:05:52,415 --> 01:05:55,255 Speaker 3: some moss and mold off my queeler deck and now 1218 01:05:55,295 --> 01:05:57,655 Speaker 3: I'm thinking about water blasting, at which time I sort 1219 01:05:57,655 --> 01:06:00,055 Speaker 3: of went, oh, I'm not sure about the water blasting. 1220 01:06:00,135 --> 01:06:02,935 Speaker 3: So if we are cleaning our decks, and it's pretty 1221 01:06:02,975 --> 01:06:05,815 Speaker 3: much that time. I bumped into another guy yesterday we're 1222 01:06:05,815 --> 01:06:08,175 Speaker 3: down at the food trucks, and I said, what you've 1223 01:06:08,175 --> 01:06:10,375 Speaker 3: been up to? He says, I've just finished coating the deck, 1224 01:06:10,655 --> 01:06:12,855 Speaker 3: done all the cleaning, getting it all ready for summer. 1225 01:06:12,895 --> 01:06:16,095 Speaker 3: So it's the season, right, If we're cleaning our decks, 1226 01:06:16,095 --> 01:06:16,655 Speaker 3: what do we do. 1227 01:06:17,575 --> 01:06:20,855 Speaker 7: Well, We've got a product called Timber and Deck Wash, yep. 1228 01:06:21,735 --> 01:06:25,935 Speaker 7: And you apply that with a garden spray or something 1229 01:06:25,975 --> 01:06:29,895 Speaker 7: like that and basically scrub it as well, you know, 1230 01:06:29,975 --> 01:06:32,535 Speaker 7: as roughly as you possibly can with a stiff nylon 1231 01:06:32,575 --> 01:06:37,735 Speaker 7: bristle broom, and it will basically render the deck ready 1232 01:06:37,815 --> 01:06:41,615 Speaker 7: to accept stain. The material actually opens up the timber 1233 01:06:41,655 --> 01:06:45,455 Speaker 7: fibers and allows the timber to readily accept some more stain. Yes, 1234 01:06:46,015 --> 01:06:51,175 Speaker 7: it also removes old stained residue as well, and then 1235 01:06:51,215 --> 01:06:54,895 Speaker 7: you're basically ready to go. If it's moss and mold 1236 01:06:54,935 --> 01:06:56,935 Speaker 7: there as well, you could probably use it in conjunction 1237 01:06:57,055 --> 01:06:59,135 Speaker 7: with moss and mold killer, but not at the same time. 1238 01:06:59,975 --> 01:07:03,735 Speaker 7: But yeah, it gets timber quite quite clean. There's a 1239 01:07:03,735 --> 01:07:07,375 Speaker 7: good video on YouTube that we've done called how to 1240 01:07:07,375 --> 01:07:10,215 Speaker 7: clean your deck with wrist and stain with Zum decking 1241 01:07:10,255 --> 01:07:13,335 Speaker 7: oil stack and it shows you graphically how good this 1242 01:07:13,575 --> 01:07:18,135 Speaker 7: material is without wanting your listeners to abandon you. 1243 01:07:18,175 --> 01:07:21,575 Speaker 3: No, I agree. If you need some online content, check 1244 01:07:21,615 --> 01:07:22,335 Speaker 3: it out. It's great. 1245 01:07:22,975 --> 01:07:26,255 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, physically actually seeing the material in action, 1246 01:07:26,535 --> 01:07:28,015 Speaker 7: it is quite a good thing. I watched it on 1247 01:07:28,055 --> 01:07:33,095 Speaker 7: Friday and I said, I mention that absolutely. 1248 01:07:33,255 --> 01:07:37,615 Speaker 3: Is this the one that features our co collaborator on 1249 01:07:37,655 --> 01:07:42,175 Speaker 3: this jay he's out there doing No, it's another one. 1250 01:07:42,175 --> 01:07:44,895 Speaker 7: I think it's brilliant. I think it's somebody from Wellington 1251 01:07:44,935 --> 01:07:48,495 Speaker 7: perhaps who was doing it. They never showed their face. Awesome, 1252 01:07:49,215 --> 01:07:51,055 Speaker 7: but you know it's well worth the look and it 1253 01:07:51,175 --> 01:07:52,655 Speaker 7: just shows you how good this stuff is. 1254 01:07:52,935 --> 01:07:56,015 Speaker 3: Tips and tricks okay, and the product is timber and 1255 01:07:56,095 --> 01:08:00,335 Speaker 3: deck wash. Yes, okay, all right, now here we go. 1256 01:08:02,055 --> 01:08:04,615 Speaker 3: First text in good morning. My deck has had the 1257 01:08:04,695 --> 01:08:08,655 Speaker 3: full water blast treatment. It's not great now, very black 1258 01:08:08,695 --> 01:08:12,135 Speaker 3: and mildewy. Any tips on recovery. So in this instance 1259 01:08:12,175 --> 01:08:15,615 Speaker 3: here they've cleaned it. The mold growth has come back. 1260 01:08:16,055 --> 01:08:20,375 Speaker 3: So for Sarah, it's a case of timber and deckwash, 1261 01:08:20,655 --> 01:08:22,695 Speaker 3: stiff broom agitate rintse. 1262 01:08:23,695 --> 01:08:28,095 Speaker 7: Yeah, you actually leave the material on the timber for 1263 01:08:28,215 --> 01:08:31,775 Speaker 7: about ten to fifteen minutes, yep. Don't let it dry 1264 01:08:31,855 --> 01:08:34,335 Speaker 7: in that time, to just sort of hang around and 1265 01:08:34,415 --> 01:08:37,135 Speaker 7: retauch it, work it around a bit, you know, scrub 1266 01:08:37,175 --> 01:08:39,975 Speaker 7: and leave it on for fifteen minutes and it should 1267 01:08:40,055 --> 01:08:42,575 Speaker 7: do the trick. If it's still black. You may want 1268 01:08:42,615 --> 01:08:44,615 Speaker 7: to use some moss and mold killer as well, but 1269 01:08:45,535 --> 01:08:47,855 Speaker 7: you do that separately to the timber and deckwish. I'll 1270 01:08:47,855 --> 01:08:51,295 Speaker 7: probably do the mossi mal treatment first, Yes, the the 1271 01:08:51,375 --> 01:08:52,975 Speaker 7: timber and deckwish after that. 1272 01:08:53,135 --> 01:08:57,015 Speaker 3: After that everything right. Just in terms of like you 1273 01:08:57,375 --> 01:09:02,095 Speaker 3: made the comment about the timber and deckwash opens up 1274 01:09:02,135 --> 01:09:05,535 Speaker 3: the fiber to make it more readily acceptable of a 1275 01:09:05,575 --> 01:09:09,935 Speaker 3: coating hatten, Like does it need to be dry when 1276 01:09:09,975 --> 01:09:12,415 Speaker 3: you apply the coating? Like how do you determine when 1277 01:09:12,535 --> 01:09:14,695 Speaker 3: is the right time to then start the coating after 1278 01:09:14,695 --> 01:09:15,615 Speaker 3: you finish the washing. 1279 01:09:16,375 --> 01:09:19,415 Speaker 7: Well, I would do all your preparation one day, and 1280 01:09:19,535 --> 01:09:22,175 Speaker 7: depending on the weather, the timber should be dry enough 1281 01:09:22,215 --> 01:09:24,815 Speaker 7: to accept stain or whatever coating that you're putting on 1282 01:09:24,895 --> 01:09:28,615 Speaker 7: there the next day. So yeah, if you've got a nice, 1283 01:09:28,655 --> 01:09:32,135 Speaker 7: good drying day, you know, the sun's out, the winds 1284 01:09:32,415 --> 01:09:35,655 Speaker 7: carrying on, you know, like it normally does. You should 1285 01:09:35,695 --> 01:09:37,815 Speaker 7: be able to do it the next day, but you know, 1286 01:09:38,255 --> 01:09:41,455 Speaker 7: use your judgment obviously. If the timber still looks wet, 1287 01:09:41,575 --> 01:09:44,335 Speaker 7: then you know, just make it hold as you see it. 1288 01:09:44,535 --> 01:09:48,895 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, brilliant, Thank you, Stephen has taxed through. Hey 1289 01:09:49,055 --> 01:09:51,335 Speaker 3: I've got a forty year old house. I'm planning to 1290 01:09:51,415 --> 01:09:54,495 Speaker 3: paint it, but I have found that the top enamel 1291 01:09:54,615 --> 01:09:57,775 Speaker 3: coat can be separated from the undercoat very easily with 1292 01:09:57,855 --> 01:10:01,095 Speaker 3: a scraper. Is this usual? Do I need to remove 1293 01:10:01,215 --> 01:10:03,895 Speaker 3: the whole top coat to achieve a good job? 1294 01:10:05,695 --> 01:10:08,655 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's sounds like there's something in this there. It's 1295 01:10:08,695 --> 01:10:11,695 Speaker 7: probably mean to actually strip that material off, you know, 1296 01:10:12,015 --> 01:10:13,735 Speaker 7: take it back to be a timber and start again, 1297 01:10:13,775 --> 01:10:16,935 Speaker 7: because it'll just, you know, it'll just create problems further 1298 01:10:16,975 --> 01:10:17,815 Speaker 7: down the line for you. 1299 01:10:17,975 --> 01:10:21,175 Speaker 3: Yep, Because otherwise all you're going to do is apply 1300 01:10:21,255 --> 01:10:23,455 Speaker 3: your new paint to the old paint. The old paint's 1301 01:10:23,455 --> 01:10:25,255 Speaker 3: going to fall off and take the new paint with it. 1302 01:10:26,615 --> 01:10:29,375 Speaker 7: Well, yes, and you know, the the new paint as 1303 01:10:29,375 --> 01:10:32,335 Speaker 7: it's drying and during it creates surface tension as well, 1304 01:10:32,375 --> 01:10:35,055 Speaker 7: and you know it can actually right after the old 1305 01:10:35,095 --> 01:10:36,895 Speaker 7: coating is right back to be a timber and the 1306 01:10:36,935 --> 01:10:38,855 Speaker 7: annually way to fix it is tostrip it. 1307 01:10:39,415 --> 01:10:39,615 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1308 01:10:39,735 --> 01:10:44,335 Speaker 3: Absolutely. It also hadn't another one interesting one where someone 1309 01:10:44,335 --> 01:10:47,975 Speaker 3: has had some painting done recently and admittedly they've used 1310 01:10:48,015 --> 01:10:52,055 Speaker 3: razine paint, so they've done the sefites. It was painted 1311 01:10:52,055 --> 01:10:55,215 Speaker 3: about three weeks ago. When it's a bit cold or damp, 1312 01:10:55,295 --> 01:11:00,255 Speaker 3: they're seeing bubbles appear, and then as the temperature heats up, 1313 01:11:00,295 --> 01:11:02,655 Speaker 3: the bubbles disappear. What's happening there? 1314 01:11:03,895 --> 01:11:06,735 Speaker 7: It could have been applied and you know, too cold 1315 01:11:06,855 --> 01:11:11,295 Speaker 7: or too damp conditions, right, or maybe you know late 1316 01:11:11,375 --> 01:11:13,615 Speaker 7: in the day when you know you're not actually getting 1317 01:11:13,615 --> 01:11:17,055 Speaker 7: proper curing of the paint coating. Yes, so you know, 1318 01:11:17,055 --> 01:11:19,455 Speaker 7: when moisture gets on it and it blisters, there's you know, 1319 01:11:19,575 --> 01:11:22,375 Speaker 7: it says to me that something's gone wrong at the 1320 01:11:22,415 --> 01:11:23,815 Speaker 7: point of our initial application. 1321 01:11:27,215 --> 01:11:28,335 Speaker 3: Solutions start again. 1322 01:11:28,895 --> 01:11:30,615 Speaker 7: I've seen you know, the whole side of the house 1323 01:11:30,655 --> 01:11:32,935 Speaker 7: blister and then you later on in the day it's 1324 01:11:32,935 --> 01:11:36,135 Speaker 7: all sucked back and looks fine again. You know, It's right. 1325 01:11:36,255 --> 01:11:38,655 Speaker 7: Paint does very odd things sometimes. 1326 01:11:39,215 --> 01:11:42,415 Speaker 3: I guess the paint itself holds itself together, but might 1327 01:11:42,455 --> 01:11:44,935 Speaker 3: not stick always to the to the substrate. And that's 1328 01:11:44,975 --> 01:11:47,055 Speaker 3: the preparation issue, isn't it. 1329 01:11:48,255 --> 01:11:50,015 Speaker 7: Yeah, But you know you've got to you've got to 1330 01:11:50,095 --> 01:11:52,295 Speaker 7: allow you know, the paint to do its thing. You know, 1331 01:11:52,375 --> 01:11:54,575 Speaker 7: if it's it's not put on in the right conditions, 1332 01:11:54,655 --> 01:12:01,575 Speaker 7: then it will suffer. So paint too late in the 1333 01:12:01,655 --> 01:12:04,215 Speaker 7: day and it's been pretty cold and wet of late, 1334 01:12:04,375 --> 01:12:11,455 Speaker 7: so which is unus surprising yep. Yeah, So just bear 1335 01:12:11,495 --> 01:12:13,495 Speaker 7: that in mind. You know, as you know I've said 1336 01:12:13,495 --> 01:12:17,375 Speaker 7: in the past, we lifted days cold or if it's 1337 01:12:17,495 --> 01:12:19,255 Speaker 7: you know, there's a bit of moisture around in the year, 1338 01:12:19,375 --> 01:12:23,455 Speaker 7: check your humidity on you on your whether at on 1339 01:12:23,495 --> 01:12:26,775 Speaker 7: your phone yep. And you know, paint between ten and 1340 01:12:26,815 --> 01:12:29,815 Speaker 7: two and everything should be fined. But you make a 1341 01:12:29,895 --> 01:12:30,975 Speaker 7: judgment call at the time. 1342 01:12:31,335 --> 01:12:36,055 Speaker 3: Absolutely. Now, this is a classic what's the best practice 1343 01:12:36,095 --> 01:12:40,375 Speaker 3: when painting old wood grained, hardy plank weatherboards. If you 1344 01:12:40,415 --> 01:12:43,575 Speaker 3: do the sanding, you only end up hitting the high spots, right. 1345 01:12:44,775 --> 01:12:47,655 Speaker 3: So in that instance there where you've got effectively a 1346 01:12:47,655 --> 01:12:51,695 Speaker 3: wood grain or a textured surface to it. Preparation prior 1347 01:12:51,735 --> 01:12:52,535 Speaker 3: to painting for that. 1348 01:12:53,495 --> 01:12:56,255 Speaker 7: Ye, well, if the if the paint cating that's there 1349 01:12:56,295 --> 01:12:59,455 Speaker 7: already is in sound condition, and a good scrub down 1350 01:12:59,575 --> 01:13:02,375 Speaker 7: with house washing paint preple get it ready for painting. 1351 01:13:03,375 --> 01:13:06,735 Speaker 7: I mean, you know, yes, you can't really sand it, 1352 01:13:06,775 --> 01:13:09,575 Speaker 7: so the house wash and paint prep. We'll we'll bring 1353 01:13:09,615 --> 01:13:11,655 Speaker 7: that up and you know, nice and clean and get 1354 01:13:11,735 --> 01:13:15,055 Speaker 7: and ready for a new coat of paint. Any beer areas. 1355 01:13:15,735 --> 01:13:17,815 Speaker 7: Just spot that was the good old shore. 1356 01:13:17,655 --> 01:13:22,415 Speaker 3: Seal yeap, okay, so sure seal, clean, sure seal and 1357 01:13:22,455 --> 01:13:23,095 Speaker 3: then top coat. 1358 01:13:23,295 --> 01:13:23,975 Speaker 6: Yep, yep. 1359 01:13:25,215 --> 01:13:28,615 Speaker 3: Someone has used a five year old water based paint 1360 01:13:28,735 --> 01:13:31,135 Speaker 3: on the inside of a double wardrobe and now it 1361 01:13:31,335 --> 01:13:37,055 Speaker 3: smells slightly of cat We I've redone it with a 1362 01:13:37,095 --> 01:13:43,255 Speaker 3: wall board sealer, but it's still detectable. What to do now? 1363 01:13:43,335 --> 01:13:45,535 Speaker 3: Just before that in terms of you know, I mean, 1364 01:13:45,535 --> 01:13:48,255 Speaker 3: we're we all do this right. We do a job, 1365 01:13:48,295 --> 01:13:50,495 Speaker 3: and then we keep the tin and we keep it 1366 01:13:50,535 --> 01:13:52,735 Speaker 3: under the bench and the workshopper and the garage and 1367 01:13:52,735 --> 01:13:54,055 Speaker 3: all the rest of it, and then we drag it 1368 01:13:54,095 --> 01:13:56,455 Speaker 3: out years later and we go, oh, just use that last. 1369 01:13:56,495 --> 01:13:59,735 Speaker 3: But how do you know when paint's basically gone. 1370 01:13:59,455 --> 01:14:02,975 Speaker 6: Off, Well, you'd be able to smell it, right. 1371 01:14:04,775 --> 01:14:07,375 Speaker 7: If it's more than five years all depending on how 1372 01:14:07,415 --> 01:14:10,135 Speaker 7: it was stored. I would be viewing it with some caution. 1373 01:14:10,415 --> 01:14:13,735 Speaker 3: Yes, it's not a good cat. 1374 01:14:13,935 --> 01:14:14,455 Speaker 6: I don't think I. 1375 01:14:17,535 --> 01:14:21,615 Speaker 7: But you know, I would probably you'd probably have to 1376 01:14:21,615 --> 01:14:24,615 Speaker 7: look at you know, maybe coating it with big mended 1377 01:14:24,655 --> 01:14:26,935 Speaker 7: Zieler and getting a new batch of paint to try 1378 01:14:26,975 --> 01:14:36,015 Speaker 7: and lock at it. M Yeah, okay, so strange things sometimes. 1379 01:14:36,175 --> 01:14:40,455 Speaker 3: Sure does Now roof painting, how do you wreck This 1380 01:14:40,495 --> 01:14:43,415 Speaker 3: isn't good news. How do you rectify a ten month 1381 01:14:43,495 --> 01:14:47,855 Speaker 3: old paint job that's bubbled? What causes the bubbling? The 1382 01:14:47,895 --> 01:14:50,735 Speaker 3: house roof is about twenty two years old. It's an 1383 01:14:50,775 --> 01:14:55,095 Speaker 3: old iron trappersoidol. Let's assume that it might have been 1384 01:14:55,295 --> 01:14:59,175 Speaker 3: a color coated product in the first place. It's faded, 1385 01:14:59,215 --> 01:15:01,215 Speaker 3: they've had it repainted. Now it's bubbling. 1386 01:15:02,895 --> 01:15:04,895 Speaker 7: So when you say color coated, you mean something. 1387 01:15:04,735 --> 01:15:07,015 Speaker 6: Like like color steel like that. Yeah? 1388 01:15:07,655 --> 01:15:13,455 Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, I mean the only time I've ever seen 1389 01:15:13,535 --> 01:15:17,295 Speaker 7: rufes blister like that is there are previous coatings that 1390 01:15:17,375 --> 01:15:22,855 Speaker 7: are already right that maybe the preparation wasn't that great 1391 01:15:22,895 --> 01:15:27,135 Speaker 7: in the first place. When whoever did it originally didn't 1392 01:15:27,135 --> 01:15:30,575 Speaker 7: do their preparation well and the old coatings are blistering away, 1393 01:15:31,495 --> 01:15:32,975 Speaker 7: So you might want to pop a couple of those 1394 01:15:33,015 --> 01:15:38,535 Speaker 7: blisters and just see how far back that goes, gotcha. Yeah, 1395 01:15:39,095 --> 01:15:41,415 Speaker 7: you might find a couple of layers of paint underneath it. 1396 01:15:41,455 --> 01:15:45,055 Speaker 7: So it depends. But if it's color steel and it 1397 01:15:45,095 --> 01:15:48,375 Speaker 7: hasn't had a coating on it before, if it's bubbling 1398 01:15:48,455 --> 01:15:52,255 Speaker 7: or blistering, then again it could have been affected by 1399 01:15:52,295 --> 01:15:56,695 Speaker 7: weather and temperature, because steel is normally about ten degrees 1400 01:15:56,815 --> 01:16:00,455 Speaker 7: colder than the surrounding atmosphere. So another thing you have 1401 01:16:00,535 --> 01:16:02,695 Speaker 7: to take into account. You know, if you're doing it 1402 01:16:02,695 --> 01:16:05,575 Speaker 7: on a cold day, maybe it's not a good idea. 1403 01:16:06,775 --> 01:16:10,495 Speaker 3: And the other thing is if you are painting over 1404 01:16:10,855 --> 01:16:13,655 Speaker 3: something that's already had like color steel or one of 1405 01:16:13,695 --> 01:16:16,495 Speaker 3: those sort of pre finished coatings on it, is that 1406 01:16:16,535 --> 01:16:18,655 Speaker 3: there's a specific primer. Is that right? 1407 01:16:19,375 --> 01:16:19,735 Speaker 6: There is? 1408 01:16:21,455 --> 01:16:24,535 Speaker 7: The product is called three coated steel primer, right. 1409 01:16:25,095 --> 01:16:27,855 Speaker 3: Okay, So if you're thinking about recoating something that's already 1410 01:16:27,895 --> 01:16:30,575 Speaker 3: had a coat or repainting, you need to use that 1411 01:16:30,615 --> 01:16:32,095 Speaker 3: primer to get that bonding. 1412 01:16:32,855 --> 01:16:34,615 Speaker 7: Yeah, and make sure that you give it a good 1413 01:16:34,735 --> 01:16:38,695 Speaker 7: washdown and just to remove all the lichen and dust 1414 01:16:38,855 --> 01:16:42,375 Speaker 7: and yes, and sold if you're right next to the ocean. 1415 01:16:42,455 --> 01:16:45,055 Speaker 7: Mind you, you know in New Zealand everybody lives right 1416 01:16:45,095 --> 01:16:45,575 Speaker 7: next door to. 1417 01:16:45,575 --> 01:16:47,095 Speaker 3: The ocean pretty much. 1418 01:16:46,975 --> 01:16:49,175 Speaker 7: Even if you live on Mount Cook. Evidently you can 1419 01:16:49,215 --> 01:16:51,095 Speaker 7: get salt in the atmosphere, right. 1420 01:16:52,175 --> 01:16:55,095 Speaker 3: And I think to your comment about allowing enough time 1421 01:16:55,135 --> 01:16:58,015 Speaker 3: for product to dry properly is really important. And I 1422 01:16:58,495 --> 01:16:59,935 Speaker 3: went and had a look at a property the other 1423 01:17:00,015 --> 01:17:03,095 Speaker 3: day and they said, oh, they've just repainted the roof. 1424 01:17:03,215 --> 01:17:06,015 Speaker 3: And I got up on the ladder and there was 1425 01:17:06,055 --> 01:17:08,615 Speaker 3: all us water in the spouting and it was the 1426 01:17:08,655 --> 01:17:12,535 Speaker 3: same color as the roof, so that obviously painted it 1427 01:17:12,655 --> 01:17:14,975 Speaker 3: in a hell of a rush. And then that had 1428 01:17:14,975 --> 01:17:17,255 Speaker 3: some rain and half of it was in the spouting. 1429 01:17:18,055 --> 01:17:22,375 Speaker 7: So one of the first things I ever had a 1430 01:17:22,375 --> 01:17:25,295 Speaker 7: look at when I started, you know, being a sales 1431 01:17:25,335 --> 01:17:28,575 Speaker 7: with it, chat brung me. He says, I painted this 1432 01:17:28,695 --> 01:17:33,895 Speaker 7: roof yesterday and now it's all gone, Oh no, yeah, 1433 01:17:34,015 --> 01:17:37,695 Speaker 7: And I, you know, being a bit green, I didn't 1434 01:17:37,695 --> 01:17:40,975 Speaker 7: know what all that was. There was basically the primer 1435 01:17:41,095 --> 01:17:44,975 Speaker 7: and color and the channels of the corrugated iron. It 1436 01:17:45,015 --> 01:17:49,255 Speaker 7: had been hit by dew overnight before it had cured properly, right, 1437 01:17:49,415 --> 01:17:51,015 Speaker 7: and ran down together. 1438 01:17:51,455 --> 01:17:53,335 Speaker 3: Yeah. So even if it's not the rain, it's the 1439 01:17:53,415 --> 01:17:55,055 Speaker 3: dew overnight that'll take it off. 1440 01:17:56,015 --> 01:17:58,135 Speaker 7: And again the temperature of the metal as well if 1441 01:17:58,135 --> 01:17:58,695 Speaker 7: it was painted. 1442 01:17:59,615 --> 01:18:02,535 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, pace to read the instructions. A. 1443 01:18:03,535 --> 01:18:07,255 Speaker 7: Yeah, just what's that you the ad. 1444 01:18:10,335 --> 01:18:12,695 Speaker 3: A think about it, think about it for a moment. 1445 01:18:13,815 --> 01:18:17,335 Speaker 3: Very wise words. As always Bryce McDermott, our painting expert 1446 01:18:17,375 --> 01:18:20,015 Speaker 3: from the good people at Razine, Thank you very much 1447 01:18:20,055 --> 01:18:22,695 Speaker 3: for your time this morning.

I typically 1450 01:18:35,055 --> 01:18:37,335 Speaker 3: use this music when I think back of someone that 1451 01:18:37,335 --> 01:18:40,175 Speaker 3: I've encountered during the week who's kind of gone above 1452 01:18:40,215 --> 01:18:43,295 Speaker 3: and beyond or helped me out in some way. So 1453 01:18:43,375 --> 01:18:45,455 Speaker 3: I just want to take a moment before the break 1454 01:18:45,575 --> 01:18:49,535 Speaker 3: to shout out to hire Paul to the North Shore 1455 01:18:49,535 --> 01:18:53,935 Speaker 3: branch in particular. So I'm involved in a number of 1456 01:18:53,935 --> 01:18:59,655 Speaker 3: community projects over various over time and that sort of thing, 1457 01:18:59,975 --> 01:19:01,975 Speaker 3: and every now and then I'll sort of reach out 1458 01:19:02,015 --> 01:19:04,735 Speaker 3: to someone that I know and go, hey, look, can 1459 01:19:04,775 --> 01:19:08,335 Speaker 3: you help me out with some materials or some labor 1460 01:19:08,535 --> 01:19:12,135 Speaker 3: or some product or supply something, and so when the 1461 01:19:12,815 --> 01:19:17,135 Speaker 3: local school that I'm involved with needed to separate out 1462 01:19:17,215 --> 01:19:21,895 Speaker 3: the work area repainting the hall from the kids, obviously 1463 01:19:21,935 --> 01:19:24,375 Speaker 3: with their return at the beginning of the week, I 1464 01:19:24,455 --> 01:19:26,975 Speaker 3: went to hire Paul and said, hey, look, can you 1465 01:19:27,095 --> 01:19:30,495 Speaker 3: help out with some sight fencing, which they did, which 1466 01:19:30,535 --> 01:19:33,535 Speaker 3: I thought was pretty damn stunning.

And this isn't the first time, 1468 01:19:37,055 --> 01:19:38,855 Speaker 3: and to be fair, it probably won't be the last 1469 01:19:38,855 --> 01:19:40,895 Speaker 3: time that I sort of reach out shoulder tap them 1470 01:19:40,895 --> 01:19:43,015 Speaker 3: and say, hey, look can you help me out?

The other one 1473 01:19:47,135 --> 01:19:48,975 Speaker 3: is I just want to let you know. Last week 1474 01:19:48,975 --> 01:19:50,895 Speaker 3: on the program we had a call from Rachel, who 1475 01:19:50,975 --> 01:19:53,855 Speaker 3: was a woman who lived in an older bungalow was 1476 01:19:53,935 --> 01:19:56,575 Speaker 3: really worried about the state of the electrics and had 1477 01:19:56,615 --> 01:20:00,175 Speaker 3: been told that there was some risk. I rang my 1478 01:20:00,295 --> 01:20:03,615 Speaker 3: mate Paul, who's an electrical inspector, just to get some 1479 01:20:03,655 --> 01:20:06,735 Speaker 3: advice and to ask whether he knew someone in the area. 1480 01:20:06,895 --> 01:20:08,775 Speaker 3: In the end we chatted for a few months and 1481 01:20:08,815 --> 01:20:11,095 Speaker 3: you said, oh look mate, leave it with me. I'll 1482 01:20:11,135 --> 01:20:13,735 Speaker 3: go and have a lock and I'll go on and 1483 01:20:13,775 --> 01:20:15,735 Speaker 3: sort it out. Give us some advice. So again, Paul 1484 01:20:16,335 --> 01:20:19,175 Speaker 3: from Devenport Electrical. Thanks mate, So thanks to hypoul. Thanks 1485 01:20:19,215 --> 01:20:21,175 Speaker 3: to those guys for helping me out on the show. 1486 01:20:21,535 --> 01:20:25,415 Speaker 3: Your news talk z'd b. It is almost eight o'clock. Well, 1487 01:20:25,535 --> 01:20:27,455 Speaker 3: very good morning, welcome back to the program. Oh eight 1488 01:20:27,575 --> 01:20:29,975 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call 1489 01:20:30,015 --> 01:20:32,535 Speaker 3: for all of your building questions. Where we can take 1490 01:20:32,535 --> 01:20:34,375 Speaker 3: one more call. Then we're going to jump into our 1491 01:20:34,455 --> 01:20:38,655 Speaker 3: expert segment with Marlon Johnson from Life Force Solar. So 1492 01:20:38,695 --> 01:20:40,575 Speaker 3: I had a bit of a chat with Marlon on air, 1493 01:20:41,695 --> 01:20:43,895 Speaker 3: probably a couple of months ago. There were a couple 1494 01:20:43,895 --> 01:20:47,015 Speaker 3: of other issues that we hadn't covered. So we've got 1495 01:20:47,095 --> 01:20:49,095 Speaker 3: him back. He's going to be joining us in just 1496 01:20:49,215 --> 01:20:52,495 Speaker 3: a moment to talk all things solar. If you've got 1497 01:20:52,535 --> 01:20:56,255 Speaker 3: any specific questions around SOLA, maybe a unit that you 1498 01:20:56,255 --> 01:20:58,735 Speaker 3: already have, maybe it's something you're considering as part of 1499 01:20:58,735 --> 01:21:00,575 Speaker 3: an alteration, maybe you're just going to add them in. 1500 01:21:01,615 --> 01:21:05,135 Speaker 3: Feel free to text those questions through Marlon. Our expert 1501 01:21:05,175 --> 01:21:08,135 Speaker 3: will join us in the moment. But Brian, thanks for 1502 01:21:08,135 --> 01:21:09,895 Speaker 3: holding on. A quick question for you. 1503 01:21:09,855 --> 01:21:14,735 Speaker 9: Sir, Yeah, quick question was We've got some got some 1504 01:21:15,095 --> 01:21:19,575 Speaker 9: commercial building and outside of there, there's some concrete sort 1505 01:21:19,615 --> 01:21:22,815 Speaker 9: of foundations, you know, coming up out of the ground 1506 01:21:22,815 --> 01:21:25,535 Speaker 9: with still coming out of the top of them. And 1507 01:21:25,615 --> 01:21:27,655 Speaker 9: it's got a sort of a light texture on it, 1508 01:21:27,735 --> 01:21:30,775 Speaker 9: almost like it's been it's sprayed with sand and then 1509 01:21:30,855 --> 01:21:33,415 Speaker 9: and then painted over the top, right, and it it 1510 01:21:33,495 --> 01:21:36,735 Speaker 9: had some blistering, and I popped the because I do 1511 01:21:36,735 --> 01:21:39,055 Speaker 9: a bit of maintenance, so I popped popped the holes 1512 01:21:39,135 --> 01:21:41,375 Speaker 9: on the thing, and some water came out. Now, how 1513 01:21:41,375 --> 01:21:43,775 Speaker 9: the water is getting into those pillars, I have no idea. 1514 01:21:43,855 --> 01:21:45,175 Speaker 6: But I did try. 1515 01:21:45,055 --> 01:21:47,055 Speaker 9: Painting some of the paint off and repainting it, and 1516 01:21:47,095 --> 01:21:50,535 Speaker 9: that's just removed that that very fine texture that was 1517 01:21:50,575 --> 01:21:54,495 Speaker 9: originally on there. That's uniformly over now you go all 1518 01:21:54,455 --> 01:21:56,415 Speaker 9: the sides of the thing. So I'm just trying to 1519 01:21:56,415 --> 01:21:57,855 Speaker 9: work out what the heck that is. 1520 01:21:59,455 --> 01:22:02,055 Speaker 3: What the moisture is, what the texture, No. 1521 01:22:01,335 --> 01:22:03,095 Speaker 7: What the texture is? 1522 01:22:03,135 --> 01:22:06,855 Speaker 9: Yeah, because I can't you know, I've painted the top 1523 01:22:07,015 --> 01:22:10,135 Speaker 9: with a with a decent paint, but unfortunately you can 1524 01:22:10,335 --> 01:22:13,535 Speaker 9: you can see it's quite obvious death the actual the 1525 01:22:13,575 --> 01:22:15,895 Speaker 9: paint that was textured because it was painted over the 1526 01:22:16,255 --> 01:22:19,375 Speaker 9: it's almost like the you know, the cast the cast 1527 01:22:19,375 --> 01:22:23,215 Speaker 9: the concrete supports, and then sprayed it with with sort 1528 01:22:23,215 --> 01:22:26,575 Speaker 9: of like a feedy, grainy sort of sand and let 1529 01:22:26,655 --> 01:22:28,495 Speaker 9: that dry, and then they've painted over the top. So 1530 01:22:28,575 --> 01:22:32,535 Speaker 9: it's got this very fine years. 1531 01:22:33,255 --> 01:22:35,135 Speaker 3: I wonder whether you know, if you think back in 1532 01:22:35,175 --> 01:22:39,135 Speaker 3: the day she was we used to do like fiber 1533 01:22:39,175 --> 01:22:41,735 Speaker 3: cement sheet. I mean, this isn't best practice, right, but 1534 01:22:41,775 --> 01:22:44,055 Speaker 3: this is what we used to fiber smentt sheet. Take 1535 01:22:44,135 --> 01:22:46,735 Speaker 3: the joints and then just spray like with a hopper 1536 01:22:46,775 --> 01:22:50,455 Speaker 3: gun a texture coating over it, and then paint over that. 1537 01:22:50,895 --> 01:22:53,855 Speaker 3: And I wonder whether that's what they've done. If the 1538 01:22:53,975 --> 01:22:57,815 Speaker 3: grains are reasonably large, as in sort of three to 1539 01:22:57,895 --> 01:23:03,815 Speaker 3: four millimeters, then typically sorry, they're not. They're smaller than that. 1540 01:23:04,175 --> 01:23:07,935 Speaker 9: It's almost like almost like you base your base sand 1541 01:23:07,935 --> 01:23:09,095 Speaker 9: you put under cobblestones. 1542 01:23:09,095 --> 01:23:09,735 Speaker 3: When you're doing. 1543 01:23:11,295 --> 01:23:12,455 Speaker 6: That sort of size. 1544 01:23:12,575 --> 01:23:15,135 Speaker 3: There was a very popular paint system again back in 1545 01:23:15,175 --> 01:23:18,735 Speaker 3: the day called sand. It was like a sand text. Essentially, 1546 01:23:18,895 --> 01:23:24,455 Speaker 3: it's just sand in paint, right, So I would probably 1547 01:23:24,655 --> 01:23:26,775 Speaker 3: do exactly that. Now that you've got a good new 1548 01:23:26,895 --> 01:23:29,695 Speaker 3: surface on, just take some of the same paint that 1549 01:23:29,735 --> 01:23:32,775 Speaker 3: you had add some some grip to it, so maybe 1550 01:23:32,815 --> 01:23:36,135 Speaker 3: some silica sand, quite fine sand, make sure it's really dry, 1551 01:23:36,855 --> 01:23:39,095 Speaker 3: make up a paste and then just paint that on 1552 01:23:39,335 --> 01:23:43,335 Speaker 3: and it'll be your van go moment. Whether you can 1553 01:23:43,335 --> 01:23:45,135 Speaker 3: get it to blend in and look a bit like 1554 01:23:45,335 --> 01:23:49,055 Speaker 3: what was already there. Okay, that will get you somewhere 1555 01:23:49,175 --> 01:23:50,815 Speaker 3: towards making it match. 1556 01:23:51,135 --> 01:23:53,495 Speaker 9: Yeah, yep, we'll do that. And before you go, I 1557 01:23:53,535 --> 01:23:55,815 Speaker 9: just wanted to make a cheek comment about last week. 1558 01:23:56,015 --> 01:23:57,335 Speaker 9: I was going to I was going to ring your 1559 01:23:57,375 --> 01:24:00,855 Speaker 9: last week and if you can become a successful builder 1560 01:24:00,895 --> 01:24:03,775 Speaker 9: and run run a building show on a three week apprenticeship, 1561 01:24:05,455 --> 01:24:07,775 Speaker 9: then when then we need to send everyone on the 1562 01:24:07,855 --> 01:24:08,575 Speaker 9: three week alls. 1563 01:24:12,375 --> 01:24:15,455 Speaker 3: There was a beauty was it? That was awesome? Caller 1564 01:24:15,535 --> 01:24:18,975 Speaker 3: of the year that guy, Thank you all. You take care. 1565 01:24:19,455 --> 01:24:22,335 Speaker 3: Then right, we're starting to get some text questions, which 1566 01:24:22,375 --> 01:24:27,735 Speaker 3: is awesome around solar because it's one of those things 1567 01:24:27,775 --> 01:24:30,775 Speaker 3: you know, it seems simple, but it is quite complex. 1568 01:24:30,815 --> 01:24:32,895 Speaker 3: And I have to say, for all of the years 1569 01:24:32,935 --> 01:24:35,415 Speaker 3: that I've been involved with building, and I've had some 1570 01:24:35,575 --> 01:24:39,295 Speaker 3: interest in solar because of its you know, eco credential 1571 01:24:39,335 --> 01:24:44,695 Speaker 3: sustainability endurance in terms of resilience and that sort of 1572 01:24:44,735 --> 01:24:48,935 Speaker 3: thing I had I had developed in my own mind 1573 01:24:48,975 --> 01:24:52,015 Speaker 3: a series of assumptions. It was great to actually have 1574 01:24:52,055 --> 01:24:53,655 Speaker 3: a chat with Marlon during the week, and I thought 1575 01:24:53,655 --> 01:24:57,415 Speaker 3: we'd share that conversation with you today around the combination 1576 01:24:57,535 --> 01:25:01,055 Speaker 3: between solar and batteries and how they link together and 1577 01:25:01,055 --> 01:25:03,175 Speaker 3: what the benefits are and so on. So it is 1578 01:25:03,215 --> 01:25:05,535 Speaker 3: my great pleasure to welcome back onto the program the 1579 01:25:05,575 --> 01:25:09,135 Speaker 3: smalling Marlin Johnson from Life for Solar. A very good morning, 1580 01:25:09,135 --> 01:25:10,415 Speaker 3: and thanks for joining us this morning. 1581 01:25:11,215 --> 01:25:13,735 Speaker 6: Thank you, Pete. Great to talk to you again as well. 1582 01:25:13,975 --> 01:25:17,695 Speaker 3: It's a pleasure, hey, Marlon. So one of the things 1583 01:25:17,735 --> 01:25:21,095 Speaker 3: that we talked quite a bit a couple of probably 1584 01:25:21,095 --> 01:25:24,415 Speaker 3: a few months ago now around solar and some tips 1585 01:25:24,415 --> 01:25:26,855 Speaker 3: and tracks in terms of installation where you can put it, 1586 01:25:26,935 --> 01:25:30,975 Speaker 3: what size panels are, pre wiring, those sorts of things. 1587 01:25:31,655 --> 01:25:34,695 Speaker 3: So one of the other things to talk about is 1588 01:25:34,975 --> 01:25:40,015 Speaker 3: often we're often talking about solar and battery right with 1589 01:25:40,135 --> 01:25:43,135 Speaker 3: the assumption being that will hang on at night time 1590 01:25:43,335 --> 01:25:47,095 Speaker 3: when I might want to watch television, for example, then 1591 01:25:47,095 --> 01:25:49,855 Speaker 3: a battery is quite useful. So just run me through 1592 01:25:50,055 --> 01:25:56,295 Speaker 3: that combination solar and generation and storage effectively. 1593 01:25:57,175 --> 01:26:01,775 Speaker 6: Okay, sure, So as you've said, most people assume that 1594 01:26:03,335 --> 01:26:05,455 Speaker 6: you should have a battery when you're getting a solar 1595 01:26:05,455 --> 01:26:09,215 Speaker 6: system because people are using their energy in the evenings, 1596 01:26:10,655 --> 01:26:14,415 Speaker 6: and so there's a couple of things with that, And 1597 01:26:15,775 --> 01:26:18,975 Speaker 6: the main thing would be if you're getting sold with 1598 01:26:19,015 --> 01:26:22,175 Speaker 6: a battery, there's usually a much larger upfront cost, right. 1599 01:26:22,655 --> 01:26:27,695 Speaker 6: And when when you have a battery, you do use it, 1600 01:26:28,255 --> 01:26:33,455 Speaker 6: use the stored energy in the evenings, but you don't, 1601 01:26:33,535 --> 01:26:37,735 Speaker 6: it's not always the most cost effective or the best 1602 01:26:37,735 --> 01:26:40,615 Speaker 6: returnament of investment type of solution, right. 1603 01:26:42,135 --> 01:26:44,335 Speaker 3: And that's a really honest appraisal, isn't it, Because if 1604 01:26:44,375 --> 01:26:48,375 Speaker 3: you're adding batteries, batteries typically are expensive. You would be 1605 01:26:48,415 --> 01:26:53,575 Speaker 3: spending five to ten thousand dollars for battery storage. 1606 01:26:53,815 --> 01:26:58,135 Speaker 6: Yeah, you're probably starting more closer to ten and moving 1607 01:26:58,215 --> 01:27:02,375 Speaker 6: up from there just for the battery portion. And so 1608 01:27:02,535 --> 01:27:06,495 Speaker 6: what people will typically do instead of getting batteries go 1609 01:27:06,815 --> 01:27:09,135 Speaker 6: to the boundy soon as well. But what people typically 1610 01:27:09,175 --> 01:27:15,575 Speaker 6: do otherwise is get panels only. And what most companies, 1611 01:27:15,615 --> 01:27:18,015 Speaker 6: what most solar companies will try and do in terms 1612 01:27:18,015 --> 01:27:22,535 Speaker 6: of right sizing a system, will be to generate as 1613 01:27:22,615 --> 01:27:27,895 Speaker 6: much energy as you're using across the year day and night. Right. 1614 01:27:27,935 --> 01:27:31,095 Speaker 6: So let's say you use seven thousand units of power 1615 01:27:31,815 --> 01:27:34,655 Speaker 6: in your home and night. The goal would be to 1616 01:27:34,775 --> 01:27:38,535 Speaker 6: then generate seven thousand, at least seven thousand units on 1617 01:27:38,575 --> 01:27:40,095 Speaker 6: your roof during the day. 1618 01:27:40,535 --> 01:27:41,215 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay. 1619 01:27:41,695 --> 01:27:45,175 Speaker 6: And the reason for that is if you're over generating 1620 01:27:45,615 --> 01:27:47,455 Speaker 6: in the summer, which you would be in that sort 1621 01:27:47,455 --> 01:27:50,655 Speaker 6: of scenario, if you have that amount of panels, then 1622 01:27:50,775 --> 01:27:55,535 Speaker 6: you would be exporting energy to the grid and getting 1623 01:27:55,575 --> 01:27:59,335 Speaker 6: a credit for it, which will supplement that even usage, right, 1624 01:27:59,375 --> 01:28:03,255 Speaker 6: and will supplement the winter usage as well, if you 1625 01:28:03,935 --> 01:28:10,135 Speaker 6: have enough generation on the roof. So that's how you 1626 01:28:10,175 --> 01:28:15,295 Speaker 6: would go about having the evenings covered without a battery yep, right, 1627 01:28:17,015 --> 01:28:19,575 Speaker 6: and is typically the more cost effective way to do so. 1628 01:28:19,975 --> 01:28:23,495 Speaker 3: Okay. So and I mean, taking that sort of financial 1629 01:28:23,535 --> 01:28:26,975 Speaker 3: analysis of the investment, that that's kind of the conclusion 1630 01:28:26,975 --> 01:28:30,255 Speaker 3: that you get. I mean, I think that no one. 1631 01:28:30,455 --> 01:28:34,015 Speaker 3: I mean, I think that batteries can be an enormous advantage, 1632 01:28:34,015 --> 01:28:37,535 Speaker 3: but it shouldn't be. I think in our conversation we 1633 01:28:37,655 --> 01:28:41,095 Speaker 3: kind of got to the place where if you can 1634 01:28:41,135 --> 01:28:44,895 Speaker 3: afford the solar and not the batteries, it shouldn't put 1635 01:28:44,935 --> 01:28:48,375 Speaker 3: you off getting the solar. Yes, that's right, Okay, the 1636 01:28:48,415 --> 01:28:50,575 Speaker 3: generation side of it, yeah. 1637 01:28:50,135 --> 01:28:52,575 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right, because you're still getting a 1638 01:28:52,615 --> 01:28:53,415 Speaker 6: massive benefit. 1639 01:28:53,695 --> 01:28:55,055 Speaker 3: Yes, And I would say that. 1640 01:28:56,495 --> 01:29:00,695 Speaker 6: The people that go for batteries will typically have more 1641 01:29:00,735 --> 01:29:04,415 Speaker 6: of a use case than just the savings side of it. 1642 01:29:04,695 --> 01:29:08,135 Speaker 3: Right, So we're talking resilience. We're talking people that might 1643 01:29:08,175 --> 01:29:12,215 Speaker 3: be isolated and main supply is unreliable, or possibly main 1644 01:29:12,655 --> 01:29:16,175 Speaker 3: supply if you're doing sort of new development, might be 1645 01:29:16,335 --> 01:29:20,295 Speaker 3: prohibitively expensive to bring mainz to the property exactly. 1646 01:29:20,495 --> 01:29:25,135 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right. So we find that typically 1647 01:29:25,215 --> 01:29:29,335 Speaker 6: people that are getting battery storage are needing that resilience. 1648 01:29:29,695 --> 01:29:31,735 Speaker 6: Maybe they have water pumps that need to be backed 1649 01:29:31,775 --> 01:29:35,455 Speaker 6: up in the case of an outage. Ye. And then 1650 01:29:35,495 --> 01:29:37,855 Speaker 6: also people as well that just want to have that 1651 01:29:37,935 --> 01:29:41,455 Speaker 6: protection even though they don't experience that many power cuts. 1652 01:29:41,895 --> 01:29:45,335 Speaker 6: But last year, when we had a lot of areas 1653 01:29:45,375 --> 01:29:48,055 Speaker 6: having massive power cuts or for long periods of time, 1654 01:29:48,615 --> 01:29:50,735 Speaker 6: people wanting to just protect themselves against that. 1655 01:29:51,895 --> 01:29:54,095 Speaker 3: Yeah, because I mean most of us in an urban environment, 1656 01:29:54,175 --> 01:29:56,375 Speaker 3: you can put up with power cut that might last 1657 01:29:56,375 --> 01:29:58,215 Speaker 3: a couple of hours, but if it's a few days, 1658 01:29:58,295 --> 01:30:00,375 Speaker 3: then it's a pretty big issue, isn't it. 1659 01:30:01,095 --> 01:30:06,135 Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, and usually the people that will typically have 1660 01:30:06,495 --> 01:30:08,335 Speaker 6: there would be a couple of hours you usually had 1661 01:30:09,095 --> 01:30:12,055 Speaker 6: more of their systems running off there, you know, like 1662 01:30:12,255 --> 01:30:16,655 Speaker 6: water septic tanks running off the electricity. 1663 01:30:17,095 --> 01:30:19,855 Speaker 3: Yeah, and these are critical systems that are part of 1664 01:30:20,135 --> 01:30:25,215 Speaker 3: being able to live comfortably in the house exactly. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Hey, 1665 01:30:25,455 --> 01:30:28,735 Speaker 3: I've invited people to send through a couple of text 1666 01:30:29,015 --> 01:30:31,095 Speaker 3: questions as well, so I'm starting to get a couple. 1667 01:30:31,975 --> 01:30:33,615 Speaker 3: You never know what you're going to get when you 1668 01:30:33,655 --> 01:30:36,655 Speaker 3: invite people to send in questions. So let's start with 1669 01:30:36,695 --> 01:30:39,175 Speaker 3: this one which I've never thought of before. Can you 1670 01:30:39,255 --> 01:30:42,375 Speaker 3: please comment on how to remove birds nests from under 1671 01:30:42,455 --> 01:30:46,015 Speaker 3: solar panels? Also, is there a tip to preventing birds 1672 01:30:46,015 --> 01:30:48,015 Speaker 3: from nesting under the panels? 1673 01:30:48,975 --> 01:30:54,215 Speaker 6: It's a great question. Yeah, So in terms of the removal, 1674 01:30:55,855 --> 01:30:59,815 Speaker 6: I haven't heard of, you know, a specific method to 1675 01:30:59,855 --> 01:31:08,095 Speaker 6: do so it would probably be very carefully. So in 1676 01:31:08,175 --> 01:31:11,015 Speaker 6: terms of preventing it, which I know it doesn't really 1677 01:31:11,095 --> 01:31:13,935 Speaker 6: help if it's already occurred, but in terms of preventing it, 1678 01:31:14,015 --> 01:31:18,575 Speaker 6: there are little skirts that you can put around your 1679 01:31:18,615 --> 01:31:23,415 Speaker 6: panel array and install around the panels in order to 1680 01:31:23,735 --> 01:31:26,895 Speaker 6: not have the birds be able to get under the panels. 1681 01:31:27,295 --> 01:31:30,975 Speaker 3: Yeah, just in terms of maybe doing that work the 1682 01:31:31,095 --> 01:31:35,535 Speaker 3: underside of the panel. Is there anything sensitive or delicate 1683 01:31:35,695 --> 01:31:38,975 Speaker 3: or that can be broken on the underside of the panel? 1684 01:31:39,735 --> 01:31:45,015 Speaker 6: Not typically no, no, okay, so yeah. 1685 01:31:43,775 --> 01:31:46,255 Speaker 3: But it also asks the further question, which is typically 1686 01:31:46,335 --> 01:31:48,255 Speaker 3: in terms of maintenance. So if the panels are up 1687 01:31:48,255 --> 01:31:51,495 Speaker 3: there on the roof, what is the preferred or recommended 1688 01:31:51,575 --> 01:31:53,735 Speaker 3: maintenance schedule for panels over time? 1689 01:31:55,615 --> 01:31:58,775 Speaker 6: Yeah, So panels are pretty static, right, they don't need 1690 01:31:58,775 --> 01:32:02,495 Speaker 6: a huge amount of maintenance, But in terms of cleaning them, 1691 01:32:02,735 --> 01:32:05,255 Speaker 6: it kind of depends where you are in the country. 1692 01:32:06,455 --> 01:32:10,975 Speaker 6: We'd usually recommend once a year to give it a clean. 1693 01:32:11,815 --> 01:32:14,615 Speaker 6: Some places will need less than that, some places will 1694 01:32:14,615 --> 01:32:19,255 Speaker 6: need more. I was in Nelson recently at their trade 1695 01:32:19,255 --> 01:32:23,215 Speaker 6: show down there, and every second person talked to me 1696 01:32:23,255 --> 01:32:26,695 Speaker 6: about the pollen, right that is in Nelson. So that's 1697 01:32:26,735 --> 01:32:30,295 Speaker 6: a huge thing Nelson in terms of pollen that'll get 1698 01:32:30,335 --> 01:32:33,855 Speaker 6: on the panels and if it doesn't rain too often, 1699 01:32:33,975 --> 01:32:37,455 Speaker 6: they'll stick on there. So maybe in Nelson it might 1700 01:32:37,495 --> 01:32:41,535 Speaker 6: be a case of every six to cent a months 1701 01:32:41,615 --> 01:32:44,495 Speaker 6: or something like that instead of every year. Yeah. There 1702 01:32:44,495 --> 01:32:47,535 Speaker 6: are also services around that will do this for you. Yep. 1703 01:32:47,935 --> 01:32:52,415 Speaker 6: If your roof is more a more dangerous one to 1704 01:32:52,415 --> 01:32:53,455 Speaker 6: get up to a ponto. 1705 01:32:53,775 --> 01:32:56,295 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we've this sort of a note of caution. 1706 01:32:56,375 --> 01:32:58,495 Speaker 3: There isn't it. You know, if it's a roof where 1707 01:32:58,695 --> 01:33:02,055 Speaker 3: it's you know, relatively low pitch and you can do 1708 01:33:02,175 --> 01:33:04,655 Speaker 3: so safely, sure, But otherwise I think that work should 1709 01:33:04,655 --> 01:33:08,015 Speaker 3: be left the experts. In terms of cleaning it, is 1710 01:33:08,055 --> 01:33:11,535 Speaker 3: it just water and a soft broom, is it? Can 1711 01:33:11,575 --> 01:33:14,535 Speaker 3: you use a detergent or a cleaner on the surface 1712 01:33:14,535 --> 01:33:15,415 Speaker 3: of a solar panel? 1713 01:33:16,495 --> 01:33:19,375 Speaker 6: Yeah, just a soft bristle brush and distrushing the quid 1714 01:33:19,455 --> 01:33:22,095 Speaker 6: that kind of thing. Just very very like not to 1715 01:33:22,175 --> 01:33:23,255 Speaker 6: embraces right. 1716 01:33:23,775 --> 01:33:26,055 Speaker 3: Certainly no water blasting. We've been talking about work. 1717 01:33:26,335 --> 01:33:29,775 Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, yeah, definitely it does come up. 1718 01:33:30,215 --> 01:33:32,855 Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet it does. Ridio, Marlon, just stay on 1719 01:33:32,895 --> 01:33:34,375 Speaker 3: the line. We're going to take a short break. Marl 1720 01:33:34,455 --> 01:33:37,135 Speaker 3: and our solar expert from Life Force Sola is with 1721 01:33:37,175 --> 01:33:39,735 Speaker 3: me this morning.

You're with Peak wolf Camp here at Newstalk 1743 01:34:52,935 --> 01:34:56,455 Speaker 3: zedb Marlon is with us just a couple of minutes 1744 01:34:56,495 --> 01:35:00,895 Speaker 3: to go, Marlon, couple of quick questions for you, Um, 1745 01:35:01,175 --> 01:35:03,735 Speaker 3: A couple of people have sort of asking in terms 1746 01:35:03,815 --> 01:35:07,775 Speaker 3: of commercial. So if you you are running a business 1747 01:35:07,935 --> 01:35:12,215 Speaker 3: and you've got warehouse or office space, what are the 1748 01:35:12,255 --> 01:35:15,375 Speaker 3: advantages of solar for a commercial situation one person's takes 1749 01:35:15,415 --> 01:35:19,095 Speaker 3: through in a farming situation for example, Are you starting 1750 01:35:19,135 --> 01:35:22,975 Speaker 3: to see an uptake in commercial applications of solar? 1751 01:35:23,775 --> 01:35:27,855 Speaker 6: Yes, absolutely, definitely seeing more commercial come through as well. 1752 01:35:28,375 --> 01:35:31,895 Speaker 6: And it makes sense right for a lot of businesses, 1753 01:35:32,095 --> 01:35:35,215 Speaker 6: especially if they have a very long term lease, or 1754 01:35:35,335 --> 01:35:39,495 Speaker 6: they are the building that they're operating out of, or 1755 01:35:39,535 --> 01:35:43,815 Speaker 6: the owner of the building is happy with putting solar 1756 01:35:43,815 --> 01:35:49,735 Speaker 6: on the roof. A lot of businesses are operating during 1757 01:35:49,735 --> 01:35:53,335 Speaker 6: some light hours, yeah, you know, and so their main 1758 01:35:53,375 --> 01:35:56,975 Speaker 6: loads are during the day, which can be brought down 1759 01:35:57,215 --> 01:36:00,455 Speaker 6: by the use of solo on the roof. There is 1760 01:36:00,495 --> 01:36:03,255 Speaker 6: a little bit of is there enough roof space for 1761 01:36:03,295 --> 01:36:08,895 Speaker 6: the amount of power needed the type of business, but 1762 01:36:08,935 --> 01:36:13,415 Speaker 6: it's you know, it's still a really good option to 1763 01:36:13,455 --> 01:36:14,535 Speaker 6: reduce some costs. 1764 01:36:14,975 --> 01:36:18,375 Speaker 3: Another quick question, I am someone who has sixteen panels 1765 01:36:18,415 --> 01:36:21,535 Speaker 3: already and they actually have Tesla power wall as well. 1766 01:36:21,855 --> 01:36:25,295 Speaker 3: Can do you easily add solar panels and nets in general? 1767 01:36:25,375 --> 01:36:27,695 Speaker 3: If you've got ten and you want to do fourteen, 1768 01:36:27,815 --> 01:36:28,375 Speaker 3: can you do that? 1769 01:36:30,375 --> 01:36:34,815 Speaker 6: You can? You can? There's there is a little bit 1770 01:36:34,855 --> 01:36:44,055 Speaker 6: of resistance from solar companies to add panels to other companies, right, right, 1771 01:36:44,095 --> 01:36:47,095 Speaker 6: And that's you know where that sort of comes from 1772 01:36:47,295 --> 01:36:54,095 Speaker 6: is around warranties and guarantees, especially around electrical work. One 1773 01:36:54,135 --> 01:36:57,615 Speaker 6: company does the work on one person's home and then 1774 01:36:57,655 --> 01:37:01,455 Speaker 6: someone else they want someone else to do additional work 1775 01:37:01,495 --> 01:37:08,095 Speaker 6: on their system. That company can't guarantee the work done before, 1776 01:37:08,375 --> 01:37:10,775 Speaker 6: and so adding to it is a liability because they's 1777 01:37:10,775 --> 01:37:14,055 Speaker 6: sort of take on the responsibility of everything else. You know, 1778 01:37:14,095 --> 01:37:19,215 Speaker 6: if they're connecting to the original system, right, it is possible, 1779 01:37:20,055 --> 01:37:23,335 Speaker 6: best usually to go back to the company that did 1780 01:37:23,415 --> 01:37:27,855 Speaker 6: your solar system originally. If that's non an option. You 1781 01:37:27,975 --> 01:37:32,615 Speaker 6: can have a parallel system, right having another one there 1782 01:37:32,895 --> 01:37:35,295 Speaker 6: as well. And I mean some companies will have more 1783 01:37:35,335 --> 01:37:39,735 Speaker 6: appetite to add to an existing system than more than others. Right, 1784 01:37:39,855 --> 01:37:41,895 Speaker 6: So it might be a case of shopping around a 1785 01:37:41,935 --> 01:37:42,295 Speaker 6: little bit. 1786 01:37:42,895 --> 01:37:45,615 Speaker 3: Yeah, now talking about shopping around, because we're only a 1787 01:37:45,695 --> 01:37:47,975 Speaker 3: couple of minutes. One of the things that I found 1788 01:37:47,975 --> 01:37:51,535 Speaker 3: fascinating the other day is I was reading about various 1789 01:37:51,615 --> 01:37:53,735 Speaker 3: banks and I'm not sure whether they all do it, 1790 01:37:53,775 --> 01:37:58,255 Speaker 3: but certainly a number of banks are offering essentially eco loans. Right. 1791 01:37:58,335 --> 01:38:00,935 Speaker 3: So they're saying, if you're doing something to increase the 1792 01:38:00,975 --> 01:38:05,495 Speaker 3: sustainability of your house, you can borrow a certain amount 1793 01:38:05,735 --> 01:38:08,695 Speaker 3: for very low rates. And we're talking like one percent. 1794 01:38:09,615 --> 01:38:11,775 Speaker 3: And I know a couple of people who have taken 1795 01:38:11,815 --> 01:38:15,615 Speaker 3: that up to add, for example, solar to their houses. 1796 01:38:15,815 --> 01:38:17,735 Speaker 3: So is this something that you've encountered as well. 1797 01:38:18,575 --> 01:38:22,695 Speaker 6: Absolutely, I would say it's like the vast majority of 1798 01:38:22,735 --> 01:38:28,735 Speaker 6: people that get solar presently are taking advantage of these loans. Wow. 1799 01:38:28,855 --> 01:38:34,375 Speaker 6: And so it's most large banks.
