WEBVTT - The Resident Builder podcast: October 20, 2024 0:00:06.855 --> 0:00:10.055 You're listening to the Resident build Up podcast with Peter 0:00:10.135 --> 0:00:12.055 wolf Camp from News Talks at Bay. 0:00:19.095 --> 0:00:24.575 The house is a hole even when it's darns, even 0:00:24.615 --> 0:00:29.975 when the grass is overgrown in the yard, even when. 0:00:29.815 --> 0:00:32.015 A dog is too old to bar. 0:00:33.535 --> 0:00:36.575 And when you're sitting at the table trying not to 0:00:36.735 --> 0:00:43.575 start scissor home, even when we leave a band gone, 0:00:44.495 --> 0:00:59.255 even when you're there alone. A house is a hole 0:00:59.895 --> 0:01:04.615 even when those goes, Even when you got around from 0:01:04.615 --> 0:01:09.735 the world you love your move scream does pain to 0:01:09.775 --> 0:01:14.535 be an in funder LOCALSSBRE when they're gone. 0:01:18.575 --> 0:01:20.935 Well, very good morning, and welcome along to the Resident 0:01:20.975 --> 0:01:24.735 Builder on Sunday. My name's Peak wolf Camp and this 0:01:24.975 --> 0:01:28.575 is a program well pretty much all about your place. 0:01:28.615 --> 0:01:30.895 So if you've got a project that's underway, or you've 0:01:30.895 --> 0:01:35.015 got some house maintenance tasks that you want to undertake. 0:01:35.055 --> 0:01:37.655 And I don't know whoever came up with the idea 0:01:37.855 --> 0:01:43.455 of maintenance free, I think deserves well halfway decent flogging. 0:01:43.495 --> 0:01:46.335 To be fair, there is no such thing. There's always 0:01:46.375 --> 0:01:48.855 work to do. That's what I've spent a reasonable amount 0:01:48.895 --> 0:01:52.175 of this week doing. With a fairly long list of 0:01:52.255 --> 0:01:55.215 tasks to achieve over the summer months, and I'm guessing 0:01:55.255 --> 0:01:59.615 that if you own or occupy a property, then you've 0:01:59.615 --> 0:02:02.895 probably got that list similar to mine. Is in fact, 0:02:02.935 --> 0:02:05.055 even this morning, as I tried to sneak out of 0:02:05.055 --> 0:02:08.015 the house just a little bit quietly, notice that the 0:02:08.095 --> 0:02:11.255 hinges on the front door have lost all of their 0:02:11.335 --> 0:02:15.895 previous lubrication. And there's that gentle sort of squeaking sound 0:02:15.895 --> 0:02:18.375 as I try and close the front door quietly without 0:02:18.615 --> 0:02:21.215 waking the rest of the household. So that's another job 0:02:21.295 --> 0:02:23.815 to go on the list. Do you actually make a list, 0:02:23.855 --> 0:02:26.495 That'll be an interesting question too, or is it just 0:02:26.535 --> 0:02:28.615 that thing that sort of rumbles round in your head, going, 0:02:28.655 --> 0:02:30.015 I've got to do. I've got to do. I've got 0:02:30.055 --> 0:02:31.335 to do. I've got to get that done. I've got 0:02:31.335 --> 0:02:33.215 to get that sorted out. Anyway, if we want to 0:02:33.255 --> 0:02:36.455 talk building all morning till right through till nine o'clock, 0:02:36.695 --> 0:02:39.535 we will do exactly that. Eight hundred and eighty ten 0:02:39.655 --> 0:02:41.495 eighty is the number to call. I trust you've had 0:02:41.535 --> 0:02:43.975 a good week. If you might have had just a 0:02:44.095 --> 0:02:46.695 slightly sleepless week as you've been catching up with the 0:02:46.695 --> 0:02:51.455 America's Cup racing off bus Slona that has now come 0:02:51.495 --> 0:02:55.615 to a conclusion and of course congratulations to Emirates Team 0:02:55.615 --> 0:02:59.975 New Zealand for a fantastic victory there. So at around 0:03:00.415 --> 0:03:03.175 six thirty this morning, actually we're going to touch base 0:03:03.255 --> 0:03:07.335 with Richard from Razine. He's part of the Automotive and 0:03:07.455 --> 0:03:13.055 Specialist Finisher's division Coating's division, and it's basically we might 0:03:13.095 --> 0:03:15.015 have found the secret source for the reason that the 0:03:15.015 --> 0:03:18.215 New Zealand boat is so fast, and that is pretty 0:03:18.255 --> 0:03:21.575 much that it's covered in razine coatings. So anyway, he's 0:03:21.615 --> 0:03:23.735 there in Barcelona, so we'll get a sense of the 0:03:23.855 --> 0:03:27.255 vibe and also just an insight into what goes into 0:03:27.375 --> 0:03:31.855 the technology and the development behind razine coatings that allow 0:03:31.935 --> 0:03:35.455 it to be applied to those vessels and apparently possibly 0:03:35.535 --> 0:03:38.695 to a number of other nations America's cupboats as well, 0:03:38.815 --> 0:03:40.695 So we touch base with them at around six thirty. 0:03:41.175 --> 0:03:44.175 Then we will also touch base with our regular contributor 0:03:44.255 --> 0:03:49.055 from Razine, So painting questions, specific painting questions from seven 0:03:49.175 --> 0:03:52.535 thirty this morning. Bryce McDermott, our painting expert from Razine, 0:03:52.575 --> 0:03:55.335 will be joining us then so you can text through 0:03:55.415 --> 0:03:59.815 your questions. Any specific painting questions. Nine to ninety two 0:03:59.895 --> 0:04:03.415 is the text number is BZB. We'll take those. And 0:04:03.455 --> 0:04:05.495 then I had a chance this week just leting you 0:04:05.535 --> 0:04:07.895 know what's coming up on the show today, to catch 0:04:07.975 --> 0:04:11.175 up with Marlon Johnson, who is from Late four Solar, 0:04:11.175 --> 0:04:14.295 who are the sponsors of the show, and we were 0:04:14.335 --> 0:04:17.215 talking about solar and we had Marlon on a couple 0:04:17.255 --> 0:04:20.335 of months ago just to talk about solar panels, how 0:04:20.335 --> 0:04:23.055 they work, installation, where you can put them where you can't. 0:04:23.255 --> 0:04:25.015 But what we didn't really get a chance to talk 0:04:25.055 --> 0:04:27.975 about is batteries and how the two combine and the 0:04:28.055 --> 0:04:33.095 interconnection between those two parts of a solar setup. So 0:04:33.175 --> 0:04:35.375 I've invited Marlin to come back on the show. He'll 0:04:35.415 --> 0:04:37.455 be with us after eight o'clock. And if you've ever 0:04:37.575 --> 0:04:41.255 had a question about solar, so in our first interview 0:04:41.255 --> 0:04:43.455 we didn't get a chance to take any of your questions. 0:04:44.095 --> 0:04:47.135 At eight o'clock this morning, we'll take your questions about 0:04:47.175 --> 0:04:49.335 sola if you've got it and you want to ask 0:04:49.375 --> 0:04:51.855 a couple of questions, if you're thinking about it, if 0:04:51.855 --> 0:04:54.855 you're unsure, if you're unsure about the impact of having 0:04:55.295 --> 0:04:59.695 combining solar generation with battery storage, you might have a 0:04:59.775 --> 0:05:03.415 question on that will take your text questions on all 0:05:03.495 --> 0:05:07.775 things solar after eight o'clock and of course thirty at 0:05:07.895 --> 0:05:10.975 climb Past will be in his studio which is in 0:05:11.055 --> 0:05:14.255 christ Church, and he will join us and we will 0:05:14.295 --> 0:05:17.975 talk all things gardening and the wonderful world of bugs 0:05:18.015 --> 0:05:20.575 as well. So it's a busy old show. It'll get 0:05:20.895 --> 0:05:23.735 pretty chopper later on. If you've got a question right now, 0:05:23.735 --> 0:05:25.695 if you've got a project like me, and you're thinking, 0:05:25.775 --> 0:05:28.135 I've got to do something about that squeaky door, or 0:05:28.455 --> 0:05:32.255 maybe it's a little bit more significant, i e. You know, 0:05:32.735 --> 0:05:35.655 might have discovered a leak, or you've got some rot 0:05:35.735 --> 0:05:38.815 that you've seen. I mean, it's terrible in a sense 0:05:38.855 --> 0:05:41.135 doing the job that I do, because everywhere I walk 0:05:41.255 --> 0:05:43.735 I'm looking for things. And I pulled up at my 0:05:43.815 --> 0:05:47.095 brother in law's to place yesterday to drop something off, 0:05:47.135 --> 0:05:49.935 and I cast a glimpse across at the neighbors the 0:05:50.015 --> 0:05:52.135 upstairs windows, and I was thinking, gosh, you know, if 0:05:52.135 --> 0:05:55.535 you don't get onto maintaining those soon, it's going to 0:05:55.575 --> 0:05:58.615 become a really big job. I mean, it's a beautiful 0:05:58.655 --> 0:06:01.095 house and it was well built. I remember the extension 0:06:01.135 --> 0:06:04.255 being added on, but it's timber and it's timber facings 0:06:04.255 --> 0:06:05.975 around the window, and it's in a part of the 0:06:05.975 --> 0:06:09.055 house that you wouldn't necessarily walk by every time, and 0:06:09.095 --> 0:06:11.095 you can just see a little bit of mold growth 0:06:11.095 --> 0:06:13.935 starting to come. You can see the paint starting to 0:06:14.015 --> 0:06:17.535 peel off or split away. And if you don't get 0:06:17.615 --> 0:06:19.775 up there in the next year or so, it's going 0:06:19.815 --> 0:06:24.495 to become a replacement job rather than regular repair and maintenance. 0:06:24.495 --> 0:06:27.095 And that's what we're looking to avoid, is that whole 0:06:27.135 --> 0:06:30.375 thing around having if you do the maintenance, then maybe 0:06:30.375 --> 0:06:32.735 you don't have to go to the expense of repairs 0:06:32.815 --> 0:06:37.415 later on. Maybe someone could have told Ekipnuku that. In Auckland, 0:06:37.575 --> 0:06:40.935 a huge embarrassment for the city, I think is the 0:06:40.935 --> 0:06:43.855 fact that the bridge, so we've spent all that time 0:06:43.935 --> 0:06:48.615 developing the viaduct put in a funky bridge. Apparently temporarily 0:06:48.775 --> 0:06:52.695 it was temporary back in twenty eleven or something like 0:06:52.735 --> 0:06:55.895 that for the America's Cup and then somebody forgot to 0:06:55.895 --> 0:06:58.775 boil the hinges and the next thing, Orgland councils up 0:06:58.815 --> 0:07:01.015 for ten million dollars to repair it, and it's been 0:07:01.055 --> 0:07:04.415 a massive disruption. But anyway, I only mentioned that because 0:07:04.415 --> 0:07:06.575 I was down that part of town the other night, 0:07:06.615 --> 0:07:09.095 thinking well, I could have taken the ferry and walked 0:07:09.215 --> 0:07:12.455 if the bridge was working, but it's not, and so 0:07:12.695 --> 0:07:15.575 I ended up driving, which is not what I wanted 0:07:15.615 --> 0:07:18.215 to do. Anyway, my rant is over. It is your 0:07:18.215 --> 0:07:20.535 turn to rant, to rage and just have a bit 0:07:20.535 --> 0:07:23.175 of a chat. Really, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is 0:07:23.215 --> 0:07:25.015 the number to call if you've got a question of 0:07:25.015 --> 0:07:28.775 a building nature. We're into it. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty. 0:07:28.815 --> 0:07:32.415 Welcome and good morning to you. Chris. Hello there, good 0:07:32.655 --> 0:07:39.815 chrisp hang on, it's there we go, Chris, Good morning, Chris. 0:07:40.615 --> 0:07:42.615 Mate. It's a bit of a pathetic question to be 0:07:42.615 --> 0:07:47.335 honest at all. But basically, I've got an old one 0:07:47.335 --> 0:07:51.375 of those houses that have been shipped right for aiding ninety. 0:07:51.335 --> 0:07:54.615 Circus on the door of the door on it has 0:07:54.655 --> 0:08:00.615 got three hinges, yes, the middle one the hinge pin 0:08:00.735 --> 0:08:01.775 that goes them from the top. 0:08:03.215 --> 0:08:07.215 It's been fined for twenty odd years, but it's started 0:08:07.215 --> 0:08:10.415 to creep out all time, and it makes horrible screeching 0:08:10.495 --> 0:08:13.015 noises when it hits seened. So I think they sort 0:08:13.055 --> 0:08:16.215 of keep hamming it back in. And I wasn't sure 0:08:16.255 --> 0:08:18.415 what the best way of holding in an ereror is 0:08:18.455 --> 0:08:21.015 whether it was I was going to try seperately, but 0:08:21.055 --> 0:08:24.015 then I thought that might stop the hinge working even worse. 0:08:26.535 --> 0:08:29.415 So when you say the hinge, when you say the 0:08:29.455 --> 0:08:32.615 hinges working out, is it that the screws have started 0:08:32.615 --> 0:08:35.455 to Because what happens is over time, of course the 0:08:35.535 --> 0:08:38.615 screw you know, the tension on the timber, and especially 0:08:38.615 --> 0:08:41.215 if the hinge is not working particularly well, it starts 0:08:41.215 --> 0:08:43.175 to pull on those screws and they'll pull out from 0:08:43.175 --> 0:08:43.655 the timber. 0:08:43.975 --> 0:08:48.055 Is that what's happening, that's the center hinge. 0:08:48.695 --> 0:08:51.735 Oh, the pin itself is dropping out. 0:08:51.735 --> 0:08:55.295 Pulling out. It's from the top, so it's pulling out 0:08:55.415 --> 0:08:56.775 top ways. 0:08:58.055 --> 0:09:04.055 So what it's rising? Yeah, ah, unusual. I mean gravity 0:09:04.455 --> 0:09:06.175 typically tends to take care of that. 0:09:07.175 --> 0:09:08.335 Yeah, you think so that. 0:09:09.255 --> 0:09:12.175 It's kind of a it's between the lounge and our 0:09:12.415 --> 0:09:15.575 hallway and bedroom, so it's kind of used all the time, 0:09:15.695 --> 0:09:19.895 So continuous squeaking. Sometimes I just don't bother thirteam for 0:09:19.935 --> 0:09:22.175 a better week, but it just gets irritating. 0:09:23.975 --> 0:09:27.055 Understandably, it is a bit unusual that the pin works 0:09:27.055 --> 0:09:29.455 its way up the hinge might be misaligned or something 0:09:29.495 --> 0:09:32.295 like that. Look I would I would probably just tap 0:09:32.335 --> 0:09:34.575 it back. And if you tap it back in, how 0:09:34.615 --> 0:09:36.655 long does it take for it to start rising again? 0:09:37.495 --> 0:09:38.135 A bet a week? 0:09:38.855 --> 0:09:44.255 About a week? Man, it must be out of alignment. 0:09:45.695 --> 0:09:47.895 Yeah, I thought that were either some sort of pressure things. 0:09:49.575 --> 0:09:51.455 I mean, look, if you wanted to, what you could 0:09:51.495 --> 0:09:53.855 try and do is tap it out right, So tap 0:09:53.895 --> 0:09:56.095 the pin out all the way to the top. And 0:09:56.335 --> 0:10:01.015 it must be a replacement hinge, because old hinges like 0:10:01.055 --> 0:10:05.015 that don't. You can't tap the pin out. It's only 0:10:05.215 --> 0:10:07.575 more modern hinges where you can tap the pin out 0:10:07.655 --> 0:10:11.135 in some cases. So some hinges have got the pin 0:10:11.255 --> 0:10:13.535 is sealed at both ends or it's rounded over, so 0:10:13.615 --> 0:10:15.735 you can't remove the pin, which stops someone taking the 0:10:15.775 --> 0:10:17.815 pins out and lifting the door off and breaking into 0:10:17.815 --> 0:10:21.735 your house. Or most domestic doors have the pin that 0:10:21.855 --> 0:10:25.055 drops in from the top. Gravity holds it in place effectively, 0:10:25.775 --> 0:10:27.575 and if you ever need to take the door off, 0:10:27.575 --> 0:10:29.535 you can just knock the pin out and take it out. 0:10:30.295 --> 0:10:32.935 I would say, probably if it's working its way out, 0:10:33.455 --> 0:10:36.095 I'd knock it out, So just use a nail punch 0:10:36.175 --> 0:10:38.535 to drive it up and then hok it out. Give 0:10:38.575 --> 0:10:40.495 the actual pin a bit of a sand put a 0:10:40.535 --> 0:10:45.455 little bit of you can get special like graphite lubricants 0:10:45.815 --> 0:10:48.575 that work particularly well on hinges and hardware and door 0:10:48.615 --> 0:10:50.695 locks and things like that. A little bit of that, 0:10:50.935 --> 0:10:53.055 drop that back in and that should just free it 0:10:53.135 --> 0:10:56.095 up enough that it'll stay in place, would be my suggestion. 0:10:56.255 --> 0:10:58.415 I think someone else has text through the same thing. 0:10:58.455 --> 0:11:00.935 So Chris, good luck on that one. If it's type 0:11:00.975 --> 0:11:03.055 removed sand loop and put back in place. 0:11:03.135 --> 0:11:03.375 Yep. 0:11:03.495 --> 0:11:06.855 Absolutely, And there are these. I had it for some 0:11:07.015 --> 0:11:10.655 door locks, like actually putting inside the door lock every 0:11:10.655 --> 0:11:13.215 now and then they can get a bit corroded or 0:11:13.215 --> 0:11:15.575 exposed or something like that. And there's a special type 0:11:15.575 --> 0:11:18.735 of graphite lubricant so it's actually feels like it's a 0:11:18.775 --> 0:11:21.935 black powdery type material. You biden a little bottle and 0:11:22.055 --> 0:11:24.815 just inject that into the locks as well. That makes 0:11:24.855 --> 0:11:27.135 a big difference. But there is also what I pick 0:11:27.215 --> 0:11:30.495 up the other day, some garage door. So if you've 0:11:30.535 --> 0:11:34.015 got an older sort of sliding track garage door, and 0:11:34.215 --> 0:11:38.855 again lubricant on that has deteriorated, you can apply it's 0:11:38.895 --> 0:11:40.895 out of a spray into the air as well. So 0:11:40.935 --> 0:11:43.215 there's some good stuff out there. Oh eight hundred eighty 0:11:43.295 --> 0:11:45.975 ten eighty. Were talking all things building in construction this 0:11:46.015 --> 0:11:48.295 morning on the program. If you've got a question of 0:11:48.335 --> 0:11:50.935 a building nature, oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is 0:11:50.975 --> 0:11:53.095 the number. So out of the corner of my eye, 0:11:53.095 --> 0:11:55.775 I've also got I've got a couple of TV screens 0:11:55.815 --> 0:11:59.015 on here in the studio and it is kind of 0:11:59.055 --> 0:12:02.015 exciting to watch Liam Lawson getting kitted up and ready 0:12:02.055 --> 0:12:05.455 to go out American Grand Prix, and Austin is on 0:12:06.375 --> 0:12:08.615 for this weekend as well, and of course he's now 0:12:08.615 --> 0:12:12.215 got a full time drive. So Kiwi's winning the America's Cup. 0:12:12.295 --> 0:12:15.215 Kiwi's in the Formula one. It's not bad. 0:12:15.255 --> 0:12:15.375 Ah. 0:12:15.495 --> 0:12:17.375 Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number 0:12:17.375 --> 0:12:20.015 to call quick text hey Pete. I'm in the process 0:12:20.055 --> 0:12:22.775 of doing up the on suite of a nineteen seventy 0:12:22.855 --> 0:12:26.215 six house. The shower as one hundred and thirty five 0:12:26.255 --> 0:12:30.655 by eighteen timber around the shower opening pretty typical. The 0:12:30.695 --> 0:12:33.295 timber has rotted out in one corner, leaving a very 0:12:33.335 --> 0:12:36.455 small spot of rot and a little bit of black mold. 0:12:36.535 --> 0:12:39.415 Am I better off treating this with something or dig 0:12:39.455 --> 0:12:43.055 out the minimum minimal damage and use something like Builder's bob. 0:12:43.135 --> 0:12:45.895 Before sealing well and replacing the timber, I will be 0:12:45.935 --> 0:12:50.455 adding some powder coated aluminum trim to stop it happening again, Jim. 0:12:50.575 --> 0:12:54.175 If it's small ish, like the size of a head 0:12:54.175 --> 0:12:57.135 of a hammer, let's say, then yeah, you could probably 0:12:57.375 --> 0:12:59.215 rather than strip out the whole thing and have to 0:12:59.815 --> 0:13:03.575 go through the rebuild process, would I would cut out 0:13:03.695 --> 0:13:07.175 or fetch out any rotten material in there. I would 0:13:07.215 --> 0:13:11.335 treat the timber with a timber preservative so protein, frame, savor, 0:13:12.175 --> 0:13:15.895 metal X, anything like that, let that dry thoroughly. I 0:13:16.055 --> 0:13:18.855 probably wouldn't use and I use Builder's bog, but I 0:13:18.855 --> 0:13:21.975 wouldn't use it in that situation. I would use something 0:13:22.215 --> 0:13:25.855 like repair Care, which is a two pot sort of 0:13:25.895 --> 0:13:28.615 it's a mixture of an adhesive and a filler and 0:13:28.695 --> 0:13:31.815 a POxy filler. Actually, as it happens, you can get 0:13:31.815 --> 0:13:35.375 it at razine color stores, So repair Care use that 0:13:35.575 --> 0:13:40.095 to fill the area and then send that off. And 0:13:40.215 --> 0:13:43.415 I would paint the whole thing with an ideally an 0:13:43.455 --> 0:13:46.335 oil based enamel or at least a water borne enamel 0:13:46.975 --> 0:13:49.015 over there. And yes, adding a trim to keep that 0:13:49.095 --> 0:13:51.055 moisture away would be a good idea, but I think 0:13:51.055 --> 0:13:54.775 if it's relatively small, absolutely use something like repair care. 0:13:54.775 --> 0:13:56.575 It'll work well. Good luck to you, Jim. We then 0:13:56.695 --> 0:13:59.095 take short break. We're going to talk to Crystal in 0:13:59.215 --> 0:14:02.255 just a moment. Your newstalks'd be we're taking your calls. 0:14:02.295 --> 0:14:04.975 We're also taking your texts. Apparently it is a common 0:14:05.015 --> 0:14:07.495 problem with the pin working its way out. Take the 0:14:07.535 --> 0:14:11.975 pin out, replaced from the bottom. Problem fixed. Take the 0:14:12.015 --> 0:14:16.655 pin out and replace from the bottom. Yeah, I think 0:14:16.655 --> 0:14:18.975 that makes sense. Oh, eight hundred and eighty. Ten eighty 0:14:19.015 --> 0:14:21.095 is the number to call Crystal. Good morning to you. 0:14:21.855 --> 0:14:23.615 Good morning. Normally when you pull the pin, it's a 0:14:23.615 --> 0:14:27.575 hand grenade on the end of this very good. So 0:14:27.615 --> 0:14:30.255 with again, what I would do is just dot punch 0:14:30.295 --> 0:14:32.575 the top of it around the circumference of the pin, 0:14:32.615 --> 0:14:34.855 you know, put swage at little dot punches, and then 0:14:34.895 --> 0:14:37.575 it effectively swages a pin out a big wider and 0:14:37.575 --> 0:14:39.975 then tap it back and that should work right because 0:14:40.935 --> 0:14:43.335 the doors o'ten closing, it's like it's like riding it up. 0:14:43.295 --> 0:14:43.975 And riding up. 0:14:44.055 --> 0:14:47.895 Yeah, yeah, that's the first thing. Second thing, so you 0:14:47.935 --> 0:14:50.375 know the windows days, when you open your window, you 0:14:50.455 --> 0:14:52.015 got a little holes and so you can latch the 0:14:52.015 --> 0:14:53.375 window in the summer. 0:14:53.655 --> 0:14:55.455 Yes, I've got them. 0:14:55.335 --> 0:14:57.175 All of my windows, and some of the good condition, 0:14:57.215 --> 0:14:59.375 but a lot of them are very old. And yes, 0:14:59.415 --> 0:15:01.215 I could spend hours pannel being the mount and trying 0:15:01.215 --> 0:15:03.935 to fix them. Where would I buy new ones to 0:15:04.015 --> 0:15:06.735 replace those at a reasonable price? Like Michael ten months 0:15:06.775 --> 0:15:09.135 sixty bucks the one. So is there somewhere else you could? 0:15:09.175 --> 0:15:09.415 She did? 0:15:09.535 --> 0:15:12.175 Yeah, No, that that's kind of the price that they are. 0:15:12.295 --> 0:15:14.895 And I've because I used to do a lot of 0:15:14.935 --> 0:15:17.895 work on sort of not quite well heretage homes or 0:15:17.935 --> 0:15:20.495 homes with timber joinery, and every now and then, if 0:15:20.495 --> 0:15:22.415 you were doing a refirb you would you'd go and 0:15:22.415 --> 0:15:26.095 buy some more of those days. And yes, they are expensive. 0:15:26.935 --> 0:15:29.735 I guess your other option is if you're looking for something, 0:15:31.655 --> 0:15:35.375 you could try demolition yards. Yes, but then of course 0:15:35.375 --> 0:15:37.335 you are going to end up with something at secondhand 0:15:37.695 --> 0:15:43.095 and might require some work. Yeah. Are they what sort 0:15:43.135 --> 0:15:45.615 of vintage are they? Nineteen thirties, nineteen sixties? 0:15:46.975 --> 0:15:48.415 You know they're a mixture of all sorts. 0:15:48.615 --> 0:15:51.055 Yeah, mismatched. 0:15:51.375 --> 0:15:53.975 I would have a look at a websites called Screwfix 0:15:54.415 --> 0:15:56.215 in the UK. Have a look there and then don't 0:15:56.295 --> 0:15:57.495 have a look at the prices, you'll be. 0:15:57.535 --> 0:16:01.335 Just look in crystal. I'm in a sense the same. 0:16:01.415 --> 0:16:03.455 I go to the States and I go to hammer 0:16:03.535 --> 0:16:06.855 to what is it home Depot or Low's or Rockler 0:16:07.175 --> 0:16:09.655 or somewhere like that, and I look at the prices 0:16:09.655 --> 0:16:14.535 sometimes and I do despair, saying that actually just doesn't aside. 0:16:15.015 --> 0:16:17.735 Last time we were up there, I did go to 0:16:18.295 --> 0:16:20.775 a home depot store and have a look at like 0:16:20.815 --> 0:16:23.135 the price of plaster board. So an eight x four 0:16:23.175 --> 0:16:27.015 plaster board sheet in the States was about twelve or 0:16:27.095 --> 0:16:30.455 thirteen US dollars, which is not a million miles away 0:16:30.495 --> 0:16:32.775 from what we pay here. And I kind of cruised 0:16:32.775 --> 0:16:34.575 around they had a look at lumber and it wasn't 0:16:35.375 --> 0:16:41.455 terribly different in price. Things like paint and sometimes tools 0:16:41.535 --> 0:16:44.495 to some degree I buy us time. I was, yeah, 0:16:44.535 --> 0:16:48.095 some stuff is cheaper, but not necessarily by a massive amount. 0:16:48.255 --> 0:16:53.015 But look with the hardware, yeah, I look. Demolition yards 0:16:53.015 --> 0:16:57.175 are great, and there is obviously that great delight in 0:16:57.215 --> 0:17:00.215 being able to reuse something rather than sending it off 0:17:00.215 --> 0:17:03.655 to landfill or recycling, so there's an upside to that, 0:17:04.015 --> 0:17:07.255 But otherwise, yeah, they are expensive. 0:17:08.135 --> 0:17:09.975 Can I even forgges something that you might like to 0:17:09.975 --> 0:17:12.495 look at. Have you ever heard of Sibsey. Sibsey is 0:17:12.535 --> 0:17:16.495 a society of international building engineers and it's all things building. 0:17:16.575 --> 0:17:21.135 They develop maintenance regimes and programs with Sibsey Wellington Google. 0:17:21.255 --> 0:17:22.975 Have a look up. There's a lot of free semmars 0:17:23.015 --> 0:17:26.375 and things on solar, on maintenance regimes, all sorts of stuff. 0:17:26.375 --> 0:17:29.255 And it's the worldwide governing body on all things maintenance 0:17:29.295 --> 0:17:32.535 for buildings. And they even produce hit to pay for them. 0:17:32.535 --> 0:17:36.695 But they produce maintenance planners and maintenance regimes, you know, monthly, quarterly, 0:17:36.735 --> 0:17:38.575 annual checks. 0:17:38.935 --> 0:17:39.655 Yeah, have a look at it. 0:17:39.935 --> 0:17:42.655 Look much appreciated. Good luck with the hardware, all the 0:17:42.655 --> 0:17:46.135 best chrystals. Always likes to check take care bother there. 0:17:46.375 --> 0:17:48.175 Oh eight, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the 0:17:48.255 --> 0:17:50.575 number to call now if you've been captivated as I 0:17:50.615 --> 0:17:53.135 have to some degree by the America's Cup racing and 0:17:53.255 --> 0:17:56.335 have been. I mean, I'm still pretty convinced by fossic 0:17:56.455 --> 0:17:58.215 Around the back of the dry I could probably find 0:17:58.255 --> 0:18:00.255 a pair of red socks from back in the day. 0:18:01.295 --> 0:18:05.015 But I did actually wait reasonably early this morning and 0:18:05.055 --> 0:18:08.215 watch the final race of the Louis Vu Tom Cup, 0:18:08.855 --> 0:18:11.615 meaning that the Team New Zealand Emirates Team New Zealand 0:18:11.655 --> 0:18:15.575 have again not only won it, but defended it two 0:18:15.655 --> 0:18:17.935 times in a row, so three in the modern era, 0:18:18.055 --> 0:18:20.495 this is quite unusual. This is quite remarkable for a 0:18:20.535 --> 0:18:22.655 team to win three times in a row, which is 0:18:22.735 --> 0:18:25.415 exactly what Emorates Team New Zealand have done. And then 0:18:25.455 --> 0:18:28.415 I was chatting with a guy during the week from Razine. 0:18:28.415 --> 0:18:30.775 He goes, did you know that, as it happens, the 0:18:30.815 --> 0:18:35.135 boat has Razine coatings on it, as in, over the 0:18:35.175 --> 0:18:38.095 top of all of that fancy carbon fiber, they do 0:18:38.175 --> 0:18:41.255 apply a coat and that coat is made by Razine. 0:18:41.615 --> 0:18:45.055 And one of the people involved in that is Richard 0:18:45.575 --> 0:18:49.055 Mearhead from Razine, part of their Automotive and Light Industrial 0:18:49.415 --> 0:18:52.775 Coating's division. Richard, A very well, good evening to you 0:18:52.815 --> 0:18:53.615 in Barcelona. 0:18:54.855 --> 0:18:57.215 Yeah, good evening, teat How are you, critics. 0:18:56.815 --> 0:18:59.415 I'm very well and I would imagine it's a fairly 0:18:59.535 --> 0:19:02.015 festive atmosphere where you might be it Right. 0:19:01.855 --> 0:19:05.255 Now, I'm about one hundred yards from the main stage 0:19:05.295 --> 0:19:08.975 here in the the presentation is just starting, so maybe 0:19:09.015 --> 0:19:09.975 we can make this fast. 0:19:10.095 --> 0:19:12.335 We will make it really fast. So tell me what 0:19:12.495 --> 0:19:15.975 the what's the razine contribution to this? It's the coating 0:19:16.495 --> 0:19:16.775 the boat. 0:19:17.775 --> 0:19:20.615 Yeah, we've been involved with Emra's Team New Zealand for 0:19:21.175 --> 0:19:25.295 twenty five years classes their coating supplier and Emma's Team 0:19:25.295 --> 0:19:28.775 New Zealand have chosen our product, Durapox for many, many years, 0:19:28.815 --> 0:19:32.055 but especially so in the last few years where the 0:19:32.055 --> 0:19:35.535 foiling technology is kicked off and as you can imagine, 0:19:35.575 --> 0:19:38.575 at speeds of approaching one hundred klometers per hour or more, 0:19:38.655 --> 0:19:42.415 there's a lot of pressure on those foils. They've found 0:19:42.415 --> 0:19:45.775 that the Durapox is the only product that can withstand it. 0:19:45.935 --> 0:19:48.255 In fact, I was talking to some of our distributors 0:19:48.255 --> 0:19:50.735 here in Europe over the last few days and we 0:19:50.855 --> 0:19:54.495 think Durapox is on every single boat that has challenged 0:19:54.495 --> 0:19:55.335 the Cup this year. 0:19:56.055 --> 0:19:58.855 Wow, well, how's that for an endorsement. 0:19:58.895 --> 0:19:59.655 New Zealand Company. 0:19:59.735 --> 0:19:59.895 Right? 0:20:00.855 --> 0:20:06.215 Absolutely. And in terms of like, is that a special 0:20:06.495 --> 0:20:09.455 development of that product for this application or is this 0:20:09.535 --> 0:20:11.935 a product that back in New Zealand you can go 0:20:12.015 --> 0:20:14.255 and order it and apply it in the right situation. 0:20:14.415 --> 0:20:17.895 This is no, it's a commercial product in the beyond 0:20:17.975 --> 0:20:22.255 and we sell it all over the world now. But 0:20:22.295 --> 0:20:24.535 there is there has been a development for the foil, 0:20:24.655 --> 0:20:27.295 of course, acularly because because that was a bit out 0:20:27.335 --> 0:20:30.055 of bit out of left field, the pressure and so 0:20:30.135 --> 0:20:33.015 forth that they were exerted on. So but it is 0:20:33.535 --> 0:20:36.135 a product that we developed here some twenty years ago 0:20:36.375 --> 0:20:41.135 and it's still being fine tuned and improved every every 0:20:41.215 --> 0:20:45.935 year for the marine industry and the carbon fiber fiber industry. 0:20:45.815 --> 0:20:47.655 Because I guess from an outsider's point of view, we 0:20:47.695 --> 0:20:50.415 tend to regard water as somehow quite benign. But as 0:20:50.415 --> 0:20:53.015 you say, if you're hurtling through it, it speeds approaching 0:20:53.015 --> 0:20:55.455 one hundred kilometers an hour, and you've got all the 0:20:55.455 --> 0:20:58.015 way to that boat sitting on those foils. Those foils 0:20:58.055 --> 0:21:00.455 want to cut through the water as efficiently as possible. 0:21:00.735 --> 0:21:03.215 The coating suddenly gets under enormous pressure. 0:21:04.335 --> 0:21:09.615 Enormous pressure, and I've had varying levels of what that 0:21:09.735 --> 0:21:12.335
