Speaker 1: Wolfcamp from News Talks at Bay.

3
00:00:12,815 --> 00:00:18,415
Speaker 2: House a whole, even when it starks, even when the

4
00:00:18,495 --> 00:00:23,815
Speaker 2: grass is overgrown in the yard, even when the dog

5
00:00:24,055 --> 00:00:28,255
Speaker 2: is too old to bar, and when you're sitting at

6
00:00:28,295 --> 00:00:35,535
Speaker 2: the table trying to stop scissor home, even when we

7
00:00:35,975 --> 00:00:52,735
Speaker 2: are bad, even when you're there alone, house is a hole,

8
00:00:53,375 --> 00:00:58,055
Speaker 2: even when those ghost even when you got around from

9
00:00:58,095 --> 00:01:03,175
Speaker 2: the ones you love your most, stream, those broken plaints,

10
00:01:03,255 --> 00:01:13,255
Speaker 2: feeling from the wood locals vestball when they're gone leaving them,

11
00:01:13,615 --> 00:01:19,055
Speaker 2: even when wilbra Ben, even when you're in there alone.

12
00:01:28,055 --> 00:01:30,655
Speaker 3: Well, a very very good morning to you. Welcome along

13
00:01:30,695 --> 00:01:34,055
Speaker 3: to the Resident Builder on Sunday here at News Talk CB.

14
00:01:34,095 --> 00:01:36,135
Speaker 3: My name's people of Camp for the Resident Builder. And

15
00:01:36,255 --> 00:01:39,535
Speaker 3: this is well the last It's not the last opportunity

16
00:01:39,615 --> 00:01:41,295
Speaker 3: of the year. I know lots of hosts are saying

17
00:01:41,335 --> 00:01:43,815
Speaker 3: at the moment as they look forward to Christmas in

18
00:01:43,895 --> 00:01:47,175
Speaker 3: just a couple of days time and the extended summer break.

19
00:01:47,215 --> 00:01:50,135
Speaker 3: And I'm looking forward to Christmas as well. But in

20
00:01:50,175 --> 00:01:53,015
Speaker 3: between Christmas and New Year, so for one more show

21
00:01:53,015 --> 00:01:55,615
Speaker 3: and December we will be back. But today is the

22
00:01:55,695 --> 00:02:00,455
Speaker 3: last show. Before Christmas Day, and it's an opportunity. I

23
00:02:01,255 --> 00:02:04,975
Speaker 3: do get that sense with people looking at little projects

24
00:02:05,015 --> 00:02:09,015
Speaker 3: around the house, and but some peace is that you know,

25
00:02:09,175 --> 00:02:12,335
Speaker 3: now the pressure is on. Basically, if you're going to

26
00:02:12,655 --> 00:02:15,895
Speaker 3: line up a project for the Christmas break, you need

27
00:02:15,935 --> 00:02:17,775
Speaker 3: to be thinking about it now. You need to have

28
00:02:17,935 --> 00:02:22,735
Speaker 3: materials ordered before suppliers shut down. If you're going to

29
00:02:22,775 --> 00:02:26,775
Speaker 3: be using trades people during the Christmas break, look, chances

30
00:02:26,855 --> 00:02:28,935
Speaker 3: a you'll probably find a few. I've got this little

31
00:02:28,975 --> 00:02:32,455
Speaker 3: metric for determining whether or not for trades people it's

32
00:02:32,495 --> 00:02:36,015
Speaker 3: been a good year, and that's all about how quickly

33
00:02:36,095 --> 00:02:41,895
Speaker 3: trades people returned back to work in the new year. So,

34
00:02:42,295 --> 00:02:44,335
Speaker 3: you know, if it's been a good year, then good

35
00:02:44,415 --> 00:02:46,975
Speaker 3: luck getting a plumber or a sparky or a chippy

36
00:02:47,015 --> 00:02:49,935
Speaker 3: to come around and start work on your project until

37
00:02:50,455 --> 00:02:53,815
Speaker 3: the very end of January. Pretty much. If it hasn't

38
00:02:53,815 --> 00:02:56,255
Speaker 3: been a great year, then typically as soon as the

39
00:02:56,255 --> 00:02:59,055
Speaker 3: stats are over, they're backswing and a hammer. So the

40
00:02:59,135 --> 00:03:00,735
Speaker 3: number of people I know who are back to work

41
00:03:00,775 --> 00:03:04,095
Speaker 3: on the sixth of January is considerably higher this year

42
00:03:04,815 --> 00:03:07,495
Speaker 3: than those perhaps who would be looking at you know,

43
00:03:07,535 --> 00:03:10,735
Speaker 3: the thirteenth and beyond as a return to work. That's

44
00:03:10,975 --> 00:03:14,815
Speaker 3: a pretty straightforward metric that has served me well over

45
00:03:14,855 --> 00:03:17,375
Speaker 3: the last couple of years. And even an article that

46
00:03:17,415 --> 00:03:19,335
Speaker 3: I was reading. You know, normally we talk about in

47
00:03:19,375 --> 00:03:24,055
Speaker 3: the trades the Christmas rush, right, and people wanting to

48
00:03:24,255 --> 00:03:27,575
Speaker 3: get projects finished, get kitchens installed, get the bathroom finished,

49
00:03:27,615 --> 00:03:29,215
Speaker 3: get the deck finished, and that sort of thing. A

50
00:03:29,255 --> 00:03:33,335
Speaker 3: lot of pressure on trades people to get these jobs finished.

51
00:03:33,335 --> 00:03:37,215
Speaker 3: This year, it's been kind of a fairly casual stroll

52
00:03:37,535 --> 00:03:41,855
Speaker 3: to Christmas. The demand's not there, the work is harder

53
00:03:41,895 --> 00:03:45,775
Speaker 3: to find, it's more competitive, and the Christmas rush has

54
00:03:45,855 --> 00:03:48,615
Speaker 3: not really been that much of a rush for most

55
00:03:48,735 --> 00:03:52,495
Speaker 3: people anyway. Lots of good trades people still busy, but

56
00:03:52,655 --> 00:03:54,615
Speaker 3: lots of people scratching around, a lot of people still

57
00:03:54,655 --> 00:03:58,095
Speaker 3: a bit uncertain about what twenty twenty five has in

58
00:03:58,135 --> 00:04:00,735
Speaker 3: store for their businesses as well. But if you've got

59
00:04:00,735 --> 00:04:04,295
Speaker 3: a project that you intend to do, then we can

60
00:04:04,335 --> 00:04:07,175
Speaker 3: talk about that. So it might be, you know, of

61
00:04:07,215 --> 00:04:09,655
Speaker 3: a reasonable scale, it might be something that is just

62
00:04:09,815 --> 00:04:12,575
Speaker 3: a little bit more compact, or it might be a

63
00:04:12,695 --> 00:04:15,215
Speaker 3: job that I did yesterday. And then we had a

64
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:17,655
Speaker 3: bit of a catch up with friends in some of

65
00:04:17,735 --> 00:04:20,895
Speaker 3: their friends yesterday and we were chatting and I said,

66
00:04:21,175 --> 00:04:23,855
Speaker 3: I think my new word for the day, for the month,

67
00:04:23,935 --> 00:04:29,135
Speaker 3: for the year pretty much is puttering, and puttering is

68
00:04:29,695 --> 00:04:31,775
Speaker 3: is defined and I don't know somewhere that I saw

69
00:04:31,815 --> 00:04:40,255
Speaker 3: online the active of undertaking a task, so's it has form,

70
00:04:40,295 --> 00:04:43,695
Speaker 3: it has process, it has an outcome. Right, you're doing

71
00:04:43,695 --> 00:04:46,175
Speaker 3: a task that's going to result in a change. You're

72
00:04:46,175 --> 00:04:49,015
Speaker 3: going to work on something, but it's of such a

73
00:04:49,055 --> 00:04:54,415
Speaker 3: significance that nobody will notice. So puttering. It was kind

74
00:04:54,455 --> 00:04:57,815
Speaker 3: of my word of the day yesterday. It might even

75
00:04:57,855 --> 00:05:00,015
Speaker 3: be my word of the year. So maybe your intention

76
00:05:00,215 --> 00:05:03,015
Speaker 3: over the summer break is to do a little puttering,

77
00:05:03,535 --> 00:05:05,495
Speaker 3: to fix a few things around the house, to make

78
00:05:05,535 --> 00:05:09,335
Speaker 3: a few modest changes to how things work. Maybe it's

79
00:05:09,375 --> 00:05:11,735
Speaker 3: the squeaky door and I noticed that on the door

80
00:05:11,775 --> 00:05:15,575
Speaker 3: this morning as I tried to gently close it before

81
00:05:15,655 --> 00:05:18,935
Speaker 3: heeing me out quite early this morning. Or maybe it's

82
00:05:18,975 --> 00:05:23,415
Speaker 3: another little maintenance task that will fix something, adjust something,

83
00:05:23,655 --> 00:05:26,015
Speaker 3: get rid of a squeak, get rid of something binding,

84
00:05:27,015 --> 00:05:30,255
Speaker 3: do a small task that maybe most people won't notice,

85
00:05:30,255 --> 00:05:33,535
Speaker 3: but you will. And that, my friends, is puttering, which

86
00:05:33,535 --> 00:05:37,375
Speaker 3: I think is just a tremendous tremendous word to keep

87
00:05:37,375 --> 00:05:40,055
Speaker 3: in mind over the summer months. Putter along through the

88
00:05:40,055 --> 00:05:45,615
Speaker 3: summer months, achieving small tasks and we successes, but no

89
00:05:45,655 --> 00:05:47,535
Speaker 3: one else will notice. But you'll be busy all day

90
00:05:47,775 --> 00:05:49,535
Speaker 3: if you've got a workshop. I think you really need

91
00:05:49,575 --> 00:05:52,575
Speaker 3: to have a workshop in order to do puttering successfully.

92
00:05:53,815 --> 00:05:56,375
Speaker 3: Or that's what I found. I had daylight that the

93
00:05:56,415 --> 00:05:57,775
Speaker 3: other day where I had sort of like a couple

94
00:05:57,815 --> 00:05:59,975
Speaker 3: of hours spare and I went in and just went

95
00:06:00,375 --> 00:06:05,375
Speaker 3: and fixed a certain number of things, you know, repair

96
00:06:05,455 --> 00:06:09,495
Speaker 3: that straight that, clean that up, and I'm like, that

97
00:06:10,015 --> 00:06:12,975
Speaker 3: feels quite good. If you're doing something more significant though,

98
00:06:13,455 --> 00:06:15,895
Speaker 3: that you'd like to talk about chat about, then the

99
00:06:15,935 --> 00:06:18,215
Speaker 3: lines are open. The number is eight hundred and eighty

100
00:06:18,255 --> 00:06:21,815
Speaker 3: ten eighty. The text is nine two nine two, which

101
00:06:21,855 --> 00:06:24,415
Speaker 3: is ZEDBZB from your mobile phone. I'll get the email

102
00:06:24,535 --> 00:06:26,495
Speaker 3: sorted out and if you'd like to email me, it's

103
00:06:26,535 --> 00:06:30,215
Speaker 3: Pete at newstalksb dot co dot NZ. So Pete at

104
00:06:30,255 --> 00:06:34,495
Speaker 3: newstalksb dot co dot ENZ. Can I just say a

105
00:06:34,615 --> 00:06:39,175
Speaker 3: small hallelujah as well. I've only just noticed this. I

106
00:06:39,215 --> 00:06:40,975
Speaker 3: went to glance at the clock to see what time

107
00:06:41,015 --> 00:06:44,735
Speaker 3: it is and something. Thank you ed is all I

108
00:06:44,735 --> 00:06:50,015
Speaker 3: can say, thank you, Ed. For the ten years that

109
00:06:50,055 --> 00:06:52,615
Speaker 3: I've been in the studio, we have had in this

110
00:06:52,655 --> 00:06:57,015
Speaker 3: particular studio an old analog clock that hangs on the

111
00:06:57,055 --> 00:07:01,775
Speaker 3: wall that is terribly unreliable because it never quite lines

112
00:07:01,855 --> 00:07:05,535
Speaker 3: up to the digital clocks obviously that run the studio.

113
00:07:06,455 --> 00:07:08,895
Speaker 3: And I just glanced up now expecting to see this

114
00:07:09,015 --> 00:07:14,935
Speaker 3: old analog clocking and almost here at ticking and God

115
00:07:14,975 --> 00:07:17,615
Speaker 3: bless them, but there is a flash. New screen has

116
00:07:17,655 --> 00:07:22,175
Speaker 3: been installed with a digital clock, which has been in

117
00:07:22,215 --> 00:07:25,375
Speaker 3: the other studio for ten years. And I've said on

118
00:07:25,415 --> 00:07:28,135
Speaker 3: a number of occasions in my grumpy moments, Ed, can

119
00:07:28,175 --> 00:07:30,815
Speaker 3: we have one of those in this studio as well?

120
00:07:30,855 --> 00:07:36,175
Speaker 3: And here it is the best Christmas present ever. Seriously,

121
00:07:36,255 --> 00:07:38,535
Speaker 3: that's awesome. Sorry. I know if you're listening to this

122
00:07:38,575 --> 00:07:40,615
Speaker 3: you're going, what the hell is he ranting on about?

123
00:07:40,655 --> 00:07:45,215
Speaker 3: But it is. It is transformational. The progress now that's

124
00:07:45,255 --> 00:07:48,895
Speaker 3: more than puttering. Actually a job like that, that's not puttering,

125
00:07:48,935 --> 00:07:52,135
Speaker 3: that's progress. That's awesome. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty.

126
00:07:52,175 --> 00:07:54,655
Speaker 3: I'm very happy this morning. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty.

127
00:07:54,695 --> 00:07:56,735
Speaker 3: If you've got a building question, if you've got a

128
00:07:56,775 --> 00:07:59,375
Speaker 3: project on. If you've got if you're struggling with the

129
00:07:59,455 --> 00:08:03,815
Speaker 3: legislation or the compliance side of things, gives a call

130
00:08:04,095 --> 00:08:06,615
Speaker 3: eight hundred eighty ten eighty, because I can tell you

131
00:08:06,655 --> 00:08:10,735
Speaker 3: quite precisely it is exactly six fourteen twenty nine back

132
00:08:10,775 --> 00:08:13,455
Speaker 3: in a moment your newstalks, the'd be and the lines

133
00:08:13,495 --> 00:08:15,415
Speaker 3: are open. The number to call eight hundred and eighty

134
00:08:15,535 --> 00:08:19,495
Speaker 3: ten eighty at around seven twenty five this morning, Jay,

135
00:08:19,615 --> 00:08:23,215
Speaker 3: our painting expert from Razine, will be with us as well.

136
00:08:23,295 --> 00:08:27,735
Speaker 3: So last opportunity obviously before the break for you to

137
00:08:27,895 --> 00:08:32,935
Speaker 3: ask your very specific painting questions of Jay from Razine.

138
00:08:33,255 --> 00:08:37,055
Speaker 3: So if you've got you know, again, I think typically

139
00:08:37,095 --> 00:08:42,175
Speaker 3: summertime kind of paint all year round, but summertime lends

140
00:08:42,215 --> 00:08:44,975
Speaker 3: itself to it. Then we end up with the sort

141
00:08:44,975 --> 00:08:47,895
Speaker 3: of the opposite problem that we get during the winter,

142
00:08:47,935 --> 00:08:50,175
Speaker 3: which is, gosh, I can paint from you know, maybe

143
00:08:50,175 --> 00:08:52,055
Speaker 3: ten in the morning till two in the afternoon, then

144
00:08:52,095 --> 00:08:54,135
Speaker 3: I've got to knock off to allow it to dry.

145
00:08:54,215 --> 00:08:57,095
Speaker 3: To challenges Now, if you're trying to do some painting

146
00:08:57,135 --> 00:09:01,015
Speaker 3: over the summer and its exterior is staying out of

147
00:09:01,295 --> 00:09:05,295
Speaker 3: the sun, because ideally shouldn't be painting in direct sunlight.

148
00:09:05,335 --> 00:09:07,575
Speaker 3: But if you've got a question around getting some jobs

149
00:09:07,775 --> 00:09:12,495
Speaker 3: painted over the summer break, then Jay, our painting expert,

150
00:09:12,535 --> 00:09:15,655
Speaker 3: will be with us for your text questions at around

151
00:09:16,375 --> 00:09:19,455
Speaker 3: seven twenty five this morning, seven thirty this morning, so

152
00:09:19,495 --> 00:09:21,815
Speaker 3: in about just over an hour's time right now. Though

153
00:09:21,855 --> 00:09:24,855
Speaker 3: it's your opportunity, it is a little bit quiet this

154
00:09:24,935 --> 00:09:28,095
Speaker 3: Sunday morning, so inevitably we get busy later on in

155
00:09:28,095 --> 00:09:30,655
Speaker 3: the show. If you've got a question, oh, eight hundred

156
00:09:30,655 --> 00:09:33,015
Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty, now is the perfect time to call.

157
00:09:34,175 --> 00:09:39,175
Speaker 3: I mentioned puttering for your information, says the Texter. Puttering

158
00:09:39,255 --> 00:09:42,855
Speaker 3: is just the worst pottering, having been morphed through misspelling.

159
00:09:42,895 --> 00:09:46,135
Speaker 3: The original word is pottering, which we all know. Well,

160
00:09:46,295 --> 00:09:49,975
Speaker 3: I probably agree with you in the sense that maybe

161
00:09:49,975 --> 00:09:52,615
Speaker 3: it's a word that has changed that. This was part

162
00:09:52,615 --> 00:09:55,615
Speaker 3: of the discussion yesterday over a few drinks and some

163
00:09:55,775 --> 00:09:58,655
Speaker 3: very delicious sliders put on by friends of ours yesterday

164
00:09:59,775 --> 00:10:02,295
Speaker 3: around well, how is it different from pottering? I think

165
00:10:02,335 --> 00:10:04,335
Speaker 3: pottering is one of those things that you kind of

166
00:10:04,415 --> 00:10:06,775
Speaker 3: just mooch along, but there's no real outcome to it,

167
00:10:08,175 --> 00:10:13,735
Speaker 3: whereas puttering has in the distinction that I saw anyway,

168
00:10:14,095 --> 00:10:17,135
Speaker 3: is that you've achieved a task. It might be relatively

169
00:10:17,175 --> 00:10:19,895
Speaker 3: minor and it's of a nature that no one else

170
00:10:19,935 --> 00:10:22,735
Speaker 3: will notice it, but you do get something done. And

171
00:10:22,775 --> 00:10:27,055
Speaker 3: I'm like, I get that. I like puttering. I'm happy

172
00:10:27,055 --> 00:10:29,575
Speaker 3: with puttering. I don't think it's a misspelling. I think

173
00:10:29,575 --> 00:10:31,015
Speaker 3: it's a new word and it's a great word. Oh,

174
00:10:31,055 --> 00:10:32,735
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to

175
00:10:32,735 --> 00:10:35,255
Speaker 3: call quick text, Hey, we've got some soot on the

176
00:10:36,135 --> 00:10:39,095
Speaker 3: We have some soot on the curling around our chimney.

177
00:10:39,095 --> 00:10:42,295
Speaker 3: What's the best way to get rid of it? So, yes,

178
00:10:42,295 --> 00:10:44,535
Speaker 3: if you've got some soot on the ceiling, then any

179
00:10:44,535 --> 00:10:48,735
Speaker 3: housewash prep or any painting prep product. Razine make a

180
00:10:48,815 --> 00:10:51,375
Speaker 3: really good one that I've used successfully this year getting

181
00:10:51,895 --> 00:10:55,815
Speaker 3: mold and mildew off a bathroom ceiling, so to treat that,

182
00:10:56,535 --> 00:11:00,695
Speaker 3: and it's a it's a good preparation before painting indoors anyway.

183
00:11:01,655 --> 00:11:04,375
Speaker 3: You know, regardless of how well you look after your house,

184
00:11:04,415 --> 00:11:09,255
Speaker 3: there will be dirt basically that collects on the wall.

185
00:11:09,295 --> 00:11:10,895
Speaker 3: So before you do the painting, you want to be

186
00:11:10,935 --> 00:11:12,935
Speaker 3: able to strip that off. So I think have a

187
00:11:12,975 --> 00:11:19,375
Speaker 3: go with the house of the paint prep that you

188
00:11:19,415 --> 00:11:22,255
Speaker 3: can get from razine, so mix that up. Don't wear

189
00:11:22,295 --> 00:11:24,215
Speaker 3: a good shirt when you're using it. If you like

190
00:11:24,295 --> 00:11:26,775
Speaker 3: me and you're a bit sloppy with the application. It

191
00:11:26,815 --> 00:11:28,535
Speaker 3: took the color straight out of the old shirt that

192
00:11:28,575 --> 00:11:31,175
Speaker 3: I was wearing, but it did do an excellent job

193
00:11:31,215 --> 00:11:35,175
Speaker 3: of getting rid of the mold and mildew on the ceiling.

194
00:11:35,215 --> 00:11:37,175
Speaker 3: I'm sure it'll take care of the soot as well.

195
00:11:37,375 --> 00:11:40,015
Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number

196
00:11:40,015 --> 00:11:42,495
Speaker 3: to call and mark a very good morning to you.

197
00:11:42,895 --> 00:11:43,935
Speaker 3: How are you doing this morning?

198
00:11:44,775 --> 00:11:45,255
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have to.

199
00:11:45,255 --> 00:11:47,895
Speaker 5: Add good thanks thanks backing the call.

200
00:11:47,975 --> 00:11:49,975
Speaker 4: I've just got a couple of quick questions.

201
00:11:50,335 --> 00:11:53,975
Speaker 5: I've just going to Dick about a couple of months ago,

202
00:11:54,935 --> 00:11:57,215
Speaker 5: and we seem to have a bit of cupping in it,

203
00:11:57,255 --> 00:12:00,455
Speaker 5: and I'm just not sure ye solution for that. So

204
00:12:01,015 --> 00:12:03,535
Speaker 5: it's less than one. I happy to the ground, built

205
00:12:03,575 --> 00:12:06,855
Speaker 5: to code, so I've done it, and then forty by

206
00:12:07,175 --> 00:12:11,775
Speaker 5: ninety Mili couilla yep, and some of the boards seem

207
00:12:11,775 --> 00:12:13,775
Speaker 5: to be cupping of it, and they've got our used

208
00:12:13,855 --> 00:12:18,895
Speaker 5: twelve gauge back screws too board the joist, but I'm

209
00:12:18,935 --> 00:12:22,175
Speaker 5: just not sure there's any solutions to try and reduce it,

210
00:12:22,255 --> 00:12:27,015
Speaker 5: minimize it. We haven't got around to the ailing it

211
00:12:27,095 --> 00:12:28,975
Speaker 5: yet that I don't know if it's going to help

212
00:12:29,055 --> 00:12:29,175
Speaker 5: or not.

213
00:12:31,415 --> 00:12:34,055
Speaker 3: Funnily enough, it may well do, I mean typically like

214
00:12:34,135 --> 00:12:37,135
Speaker 3: if hardwards tend to perform a little bit differently to

215
00:12:37,335 --> 00:12:43,055
Speaker 3: soft woods. But there's depending on which way the board

216
00:12:43,135 --> 00:12:47,615
Speaker 3: is sawn, you will get cupping in the board, right,

217
00:12:47,695 --> 00:12:52,655
Speaker 3: so all timber is prone to doing it. Is it like,

218
00:12:52,775 --> 00:12:55,535
Speaker 3: is it significant to the point where the cupping is

219
00:12:55,535 --> 00:12:58,775
Speaker 3: such that the water sits in between it.

220
00:12:59,615 --> 00:13:00,255
Speaker 5: Coup of the boards?

221
00:13:00,255 --> 00:13:00,455
Speaker 6: It is?

222
00:13:00,575 --> 00:13:02,895
Speaker 5: So we're not too sure because it's not every board,

223
00:13:02,935 --> 00:13:07,415
Speaker 5: and it's more where the sun hits. We're not sure

224
00:13:07,415 --> 00:13:09,695
Speaker 5: if the only solution is to replace the odd board

225
00:13:09,695 --> 00:13:12,015
Speaker 5: that it's got it or not. But then there's that

226
00:13:12,135 --> 00:13:12,535
Speaker 5: game to.

227
00:13:14,415 --> 00:13:19,135
Speaker 3: You, yes, and are the boards it's the type of

228
00:13:19,215 --> 00:13:21,695
Speaker 3: quilla that you've used. Was it grip tread on one

229
00:13:21,735 --> 00:13:23,535
Speaker 3: side and smooth on the other or is it smooth

230
00:13:23,575 --> 00:13:27,015
Speaker 3: both faces? Okay, because I was going to say, you know,

231
00:13:27,055 --> 00:13:30,215
Speaker 3: you could undo the screws, flip it over and it

232
00:13:30,255 --> 00:13:33,295
Speaker 3: would cut the other way and maybe eventually settle down.

233
00:13:34,535 --> 00:13:37,055
Speaker 3: But I guess the so the cupping you're seeing is

234
00:13:37,095 --> 00:13:40,855
Speaker 3: that the outside edges of the board have risen and

235
00:13:40,935 --> 00:13:46,575
Speaker 3: it's now concave. Sorry, concave rather than convex. Yeah, yeah,

236
00:13:46,735 --> 00:13:50,455
Speaker 3: that's okay.

237
00:13:50,735 --> 00:13:52,415
Speaker 5: We were you sure if we should put end seal

238
00:13:52,495 --> 00:13:54,415
Speaker 5: on the on the bottom of the board, like we've

239
00:13:54,455 --> 00:13:56,175
Speaker 5: done that. We all caps out of the end seals

240
00:13:56,175 --> 00:13:59,295
Speaker 5: and stuff like that. But yeah, I'm just not too sure.

241
00:14:00,375 --> 00:14:04,535
Speaker 3: Look, timber is what timber is, right, So you will

242
00:14:04,575 --> 00:14:06,215
Speaker 3: get a little bit of cupping, and it'll be and

243
00:14:06,415 --> 00:14:08,335
Speaker 3: way that the board is sorn, and from which part

244
00:14:08,375 --> 00:14:11,095
Speaker 3: of the tree it is. It's probably how I would

245
00:14:11,135 --> 00:14:15,015
Speaker 3: say it. I think if it's really troubling, look, I think.

246
00:14:14,815 --> 00:14:16,735
Speaker 5: It's not troubling. I don't have a problem with it.

247
00:14:17,295 --> 00:14:20,895
Speaker 3: It's just yeah, I know, and that's what I'm saying.

248
00:14:20,935 --> 00:14:22,575
Speaker 3: You know, Like I've seen boards that are cupped and

249
00:14:22,935 --> 00:14:25,055
Speaker 3: let's say, if you put a ruler over the top,

250
00:14:25,415 --> 00:14:28,775
Speaker 3: it would be five millimeters from the ruler to the

251
00:14:29,255 --> 00:14:32,015
Speaker 3: bottom of the dip, let's say. Or in some cases

252
00:14:32,055 --> 00:14:34,215
Speaker 3: you'll get cupping that'll hold a little bit of water

253
00:14:34,335 --> 00:14:36,695
Speaker 3: and it'll be a millimeter or so. But it's still

254
00:14:36,975 --> 00:14:40,935
Speaker 3: more like that. It's more just the milk Yeah. Look,

255
00:14:40,975 --> 00:14:43,575
Speaker 3: if it's really troubling you, probably the only solution is

256
00:14:43,615 --> 00:14:47,415
Speaker 3: replaced the boards, saying that I would probably wait to

257
00:14:47,495 --> 00:14:50,535
Speaker 3: do it until after I had sealed the boards. So

258
00:14:50,775 --> 00:14:55,095
Speaker 3: was it always your intention to clean the deck after

259
00:14:55,135 --> 00:14:56,495
Speaker 3: a period of time and give it a coat.

260
00:14:58,295 --> 00:15:02,015
Speaker 5: Yes, So we thought we'd just leave it a little bit. Yeah,

261
00:15:02,055 --> 00:15:03,775
Speaker 5: and then we were going to look at doing some

262
00:15:04,775 --> 00:15:05,415
Speaker 5: oiling on it.

263
00:15:05,495 --> 00:15:06,215
Speaker 3: Yeah, good idea.

264
00:15:06,695 --> 00:15:08,495
Speaker 5: We're just wondering if we need to do that ahead

265
00:15:08,495 --> 00:15:14,735
Speaker 5: of time, like we were thinking, you're doing it.

266
00:15:12,015 --> 00:15:18,895
Speaker 3: May No, I think when when did the decking go down? Yeah,

267
00:15:18,935 --> 00:15:22,015
Speaker 3: it's probably long enough, I would say. And again this

268
00:15:22,175 --> 00:15:24,815
Speaker 3: is you know, in the conversations I've had with Jay

269
00:15:24,855 --> 00:15:32,135
Speaker 3: and with Bryce from Razine, use a deck wash proprietary

270
00:15:32,175 --> 00:15:34,415
Speaker 3: to prepare the timber, because what that does is it

271
00:15:34,415 --> 00:15:36,575
Speaker 3: gets rid of any sort of mild moss and mold

272
00:15:36,575 --> 00:15:38,695
Speaker 3: that might have started to grow on it, which is inevitable.

273
00:15:39,415 --> 00:15:42,055
Speaker 3: But also it opens the fibers up a little bit.

274
00:15:42,535 --> 00:15:45,175
Speaker 3: So when you use the product to clean the decking,

275
00:15:45,455 --> 00:15:48,615
Speaker 3: it opens the fibers up, and once it's dry, but

276
00:15:48,895 --> 00:15:52,335
Speaker 3: not too long afterwards, that's when you want to apply

277
00:15:52,535 --> 00:15:55,975
Speaker 3: your I would probably go for a penetrating oil stain

278
00:15:57,575 --> 00:16:00,255
Speaker 3: onto that and it will suck into the fibers because

279
00:16:00,255 --> 00:16:03,095
Speaker 3: they've been opened up as you've washed it. And that

280
00:16:03,215 --> 00:16:06,655
Speaker 3: may also, you know, help reintroduce some moisture into the

281
00:16:06,655 --> 00:16:09,015
Speaker 3: board and that might be enough just to relieve the

282
00:16:09,055 --> 00:16:11,735
Speaker 3: board as well, and it might settle down a little bit.

283
00:16:11,815 --> 00:16:14,975
Speaker 3: So and then if next summer it's still cupping and

284
00:16:15,015 --> 00:16:16,655
Speaker 3: it's still annoying, replace the board.

285
00:16:16,695 --> 00:16:18,935
Speaker 5: Then they could be again.

286
00:16:19,335 --> 00:16:22,815
Speaker 3: But I think, I know there's a lot of you

287
00:16:22,855 --> 00:16:25,495
Speaker 3: always have these discussions with after you've done a hardwood deck,

288
00:16:25,535 --> 00:16:28,175
Speaker 3: where you go, oh, should I put some coating on it?

289
00:16:28,255 --> 00:16:30,895
Speaker 3: I think that it's wise in New Zealand to put

290
00:16:30,895 --> 00:16:31,375
Speaker 3: a coating on.

291
00:16:32,255 --> 00:16:35,415
Speaker 5: Yeah, that sounds quite hard. Yeah's part of it, quite noticeably.

292
00:16:35,935 --> 00:16:38,175
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was back at a place where we did

293
00:16:38,215 --> 00:16:41,335
Speaker 3: a it wasn't a Kuila deck, it was a Vitext

294
00:16:41,375 --> 00:16:46,695
Speaker 3: deck in roughly the end of twenty twenty, and I

295
00:16:46,735 --> 00:16:48,855
Speaker 3: was looking at it the other day thinking I know

296
00:16:49,015 --> 00:16:50,735
Speaker 3: that you know, there was there was a lot of

297
00:16:50,775 --> 00:16:52,935
Speaker 3: discussion around, oh do we just leave it natural, let

298
00:16:52,975 --> 00:16:54,735
Speaker 3: it whether off and dah dah da da da. But

299
00:16:54,815 --> 00:16:57,135
Speaker 3: I can also see the mold growth starting to grow

300
00:16:57,175 --> 00:16:59,015
Speaker 3: on it and that sort of thing, and I'm inclined

301
00:16:59,015 --> 00:17:01,055
Speaker 3: to go. I think now I'll give it a clean

302
00:17:01,255 --> 00:17:05,895
Speaker 3: and apply a coat of decking stain to it.

303
00:17:06,375 --> 00:17:10,575
Speaker 5: I had a second question, saw blade, So after doing it,

304
00:17:12,095 --> 00:17:14,815
Speaker 5: after the deck of the lots of pine and colla,

305
00:17:15,255 --> 00:17:18,415
Speaker 5: how do I clean them? So just behind the tungsten, Yeah,

306
00:17:19,655 --> 00:17:20,335
Speaker 5: how do I clean that?

307
00:17:22,495 --> 00:17:22,935
Speaker 3: Shimmers?

308
00:17:24,535 --> 00:17:25,655
Speaker 5: Because it's quite hard.

309
00:17:26,135 --> 00:17:29,055
Speaker 3: It's really Yeah, there's a lot of resin in the blade,

310
00:17:29,375 --> 00:17:30,855
Speaker 3: or there's a lot of resin in the timber and

311
00:17:30,895 --> 00:17:32,815
Speaker 3: it tends to adhere to the blade and sort of

312
00:17:32,855 --> 00:17:34,215
Speaker 3: gum up the blade.

313
00:17:34,735 --> 00:17:36,615
Speaker 5: Because I've got a brand new blade before doing the

314
00:17:37,895 --> 00:17:42,735
Speaker 5: night Yeah, yep, from Makida drops or yes, I'm just

315
00:17:43,455 --> 00:17:45,575
Speaker 5: I'm not sure how to how to clean off because

316
00:17:45,575 --> 00:17:47,655
Speaker 5: it's like it's plugged up quite quick.

317
00:17:47,975 --> 00:17:54,215
Speaker 3: Yes, I'd be inclined just to take it off user.

318
00:17:55,175 --> 00:17:57,935
Speaker 3: I've got in a drawer in the workshop a whole

319
00:17:57,935 --> 00:18:00,655
Speaker 3: bunch of little wire brushes, you know, like soft wire brushes.

320
00:18:00,935 --> 00:18:04,455
Speaker 3: But I'd probably just use some turps to be fair,

321
00:18:05,735 --> 00:18:08,375
Speaker 3: all right, I'll go yeah, yeah, And I mean look,

322
00:18:08,415 --> 00:18:10,615
Speaker 3: you know, chances are by now it probably needs a

323
00:18:10,655 --> 00:18:12,215
Speaker 3: sharpen in which case, if you take it in and

324
00:18:12,215 --> 00:18:14,735
Speaker 3: get it sharpened. And I'm still a big fan of

325
00:18:14,735 --> 00:18:17,655
Speaker 3: getting my blades sharpened rather than just biffing them and

326
00:18:17,655 --> 00:18:21,575
Speaker 3: buying another one and they'll probably tidy out of there.

327
00:18:21,615 --> 00:18:24,255
Speaker 3: But I think some turps and a little not sort

328
00:18:24,295 --> 00:18:27,535
Speaker 3: of super harsh wirebrush and just go through and just

329
00:18:28,215 --> 00:18:30,935
Speaker 3: that could be puttering. You see, that's puttering. You do

330
00:18:30,975 --> 00:18:34,015
Speaker 3: a little task that has an outcome and it might

331
00:18:34,055 --> 00:18:36,695
Speaker 3: take you a lovely half hour of just quiet time

332
00:18:36,855 --> 00:18:41,415
Speaker 3: just cleaning the blade. Cool mate, all the best, take care.

333
00:18:41,575 --> 00:18:43,895
Speaker 3: Thanks Mark. By way, then oh eight hundred and eighty

334
00:18:43,935 --> 00:18:46,615
Speaker 3: ten eighty, if you've got a question of a building nature,

335
00:18:46,735 --> 00:18:50,175
Speaker 3: by all means, give us a call. Funnily enough, last

336
00:18:50,175 --> 00:18:53,095
Speaker 3: week we were talking about sort of stocking stuff as

337
00:18:53,135 --> 00:18:55,695
Speaker 3: in a sense. Last week on the show, I happen

338
00:18:55,775 --> 00:18:58,815
Speaker 3: to mention the fact that I popped into Devenport Timber,

339
00:18:58,855 --> 00:19:01,455
Speaker 3: which is kind of like my local, and they had

340
00:19:01,495 --> 00:19:05,535
Speaker 3: some of the good rules sitting on the by the counter, right,

341
00:19:06,855 --> 00:19:09,735
Speaker 3: and it reminded me of the fact that I've got some.

342
00:19:09,895 --> 00:19:12,855
Speaker 3: In fact, I gave I gave one away the other day,

343
00:19:12,855 --> 00:19:14,615
Speaker 3: which means I need to go and replace it now.

344
00:19:15,415 --> 00:19:18,255
Speaker 3: But I I was looking at those mentioned the good Rule.

345
00:19:18,295 --> 00:19:21,015
Speaker 3: I quite like them because they're a New Zealand designed product.

346
00:19:21,135 --> 00:19:21,295
Speaker 7: Right.

347
00:19:21,335 --> 00:19:24,735
Speaker 3: So it's a little folding ruler that is unlike most

348
00:19:24,775 --> 00:19:27,975
Speaker 3: folding rulers, it's slightly wider, it's a certain thickness, the

349
00:19:28,015 --> 00:19:30,575
Speaker 3: measurements are set out in the way that's particularly useful

350
00:19:30,575 --> 00:19:34,655
Speaker 3: for Kiwi's building, et cetera, et cetera. So that's that's

351
00:19:34,655 --> 00:19:36,975
Speaker 3: an option. I've got some other ideas actually for stocking

352
00:19:37,095 --> 00:19:39,655
Speaker 3: stuffs as well. If you're still doing the Christmas shopping

353
00:19:39,975 --> 00:19:43,055
Speaker 3: a little bit like I am, then I've got a couple.

354
00:19:43,055 --> 00:19:46,175
Speaker 3: I've had some I've been doing some thinking about that.

355
00:19:46,455 --> 00:19:48,935
Speaker 3: Eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call

356
00:19:49,135 --> 00:19:50,775
Speaker 3: if you'd like to join us. We'd love to hear

357
00:19:50,775 --> 00:19:54,295
Speaker 3: from you. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty the number. Now

358
00:19:54,335 --> 00:19:56,015
Speaker 3: just for the break, Hey Pete, how about running a

359
00:19:56,055 --> 00:20:00,455
Speaker 3: sharp hand plane along with cup decking. Yes, but what

360
00:20:00,495 --> 00:20:03,815
Speaker 3: you end up doing sometimes is then taking the surface off,

361
00:20:03,815 --> 00:20:05,815
Speaker 3: which will help flatten the board, but you lose the

362
00:20:05,975 --> 00:20:10,095
Speaker 3: arras that's typically on the edge of the timber, and

363
00:20:10,135 --> 00:20:14,095
Speaker 3: then that will be a little bit obvious. And planning

364
00:20:14,135 --> 00:20:17,055
Speaker 3: hardwoods not that easy. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty

365
00:20:17,255 --> 00:20:18,975
Speaker 3: is the number to call back after the break the vain,

366
00:20:19,575 --> 00:20:21,695
Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty the number to call

367
00:20:21,855 --> 00:20:24,095
Speaker 3: and a very very good morning to you, Anne.

368
00:20:25,335 --> 00:20:28,655
Speaker 8: Morning Pete, long time listener, and I've never called you before.

369
00:20:28,935 --> 00:20:30,055
Speaker 3: Welcome, thank you.

370
00:20:31,135 --> 00:20:33,055
Speaker 8: Over the years, my husband and I had a bit

371
00:20:33,055 --> 00:20:36,935
Speaker 8: of development in the three houses, and someone gave us

372
00:20:36,935 --> 00:20:40,335
Speaker 8: this hint. When you're at the stage before the light,

373
00:20:40,495 --> 00:20:45,895
Speaker 8: before the installation and the lining goes on, take photos, yes,

374
00:20:46,335 --> 00:20:49,655
Speaker 8: and then later we put them in an album yep.

375
00:20:50,215 --> 00:20:52,935
Speaker 8: And then when somebody wanted to know where a pipe

376
00:20:53,255 --> 00:20:55,895
Speaker 8: was or where the I was, you just get the

377
00:20:55,935 --> 00:21:00,695
Speaker 8: book out and it was really useful.

378
00:21:01,175 --> 00:21:05,135
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I guess, you know, going back a few years,

379
00:21:05,975 --> 00:21:08,455
Speaker 3: that a little bit of a process in terms of,

380
00:21:08,495 --> 00:21:10,175
Speaker 3: you know, if you had to use a camera and

381
00:21:10,215 --> 00:21:12,575
Speaker 3: then you had to print off the photographs. But today,

382
00:21:13,175 --> 00:21:16,535
Speaker 3: with you know, almost everyone having a smartphone or having

383
00:21:16,775 --> 00:21:20,255
Speaker 3: a phone with a camera, it's relatively easy. And certainly

384
00:21:21,415 --> 00:21:24,495
Speaker 3: actually I had exactly that the other day. I got

385
00:21:24,495 --> 00:21:26,775
Speaker 3: some guys in to do a small project for me,

386
00:21:27,135 --> 00:21:29,895
Speaker 3: and then I came back to install some benches and

387
00:21:29,935 --> 00:21:32,295
Speaker 3: that sort of thing, and I was like, oh, now

388
00:21:32,335 --> 00:21:34,575
Speaker 3: I'll grab my stud finder and try and figure out.

389
00:21:34,575 --> 00:21:36,295
Speaker 3: And I was a little bit worried there was old

390
00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:38,375
Speaker 3: plumbing in the wall and that sort of thing, And

391
00:21:38,415 --> 00:21:41,215
Speaker 3: of course the contractor, because he's organized, just went, oh,

392
00:21:41,255 --> 00:21:44,015
Speaker 3: hang on a sec, here's the wall with the insulation

393
00:21:44,215 --> 00:21:46,975
Speaker 3: and with the lining. Before the lining goes on, all

394
00:21:47,015 --> 00:21:49,695
Speaker 3: the services are there, and we could work out exactly

395
00:21:49,695 --> 00:21:52,135
Speaker 3: where the studs were, where the pipes might be, and

396
00:21:52,175 --> 00:21:54,615
Speaker 3: that sort of thing, because he'd kept a photograph of it.

397
00:21:54,655 --> 00:22:00,615
Speaker 3: And so yeah, I agree. I think it just tangentially

398
00:22:00,695 --> 00:22:02,975
Speaker 3: to that. One of the things that's been discussed an

399
00:22:03,095 --> 00:22:05,855
Speaker 3: enormous amount at the moment is the idea of remote

400
00:22:05,895 --> 00:22:10,575
Speaker 3: inspections for building consents. Right, So, rather than having the

401
00:22:10,575 --> 00:22:14,255
Speaker 3: building inspector physically visit the site, one of the options

402
00:22:14,375 --> 00:22:18,735
Speaker 3: is for a building inspector in a remote location or

403
00:22:19,095 --> 00:22:21,695
Speaker 3: in their office to be able to dial into the

404
00:22:21,735 --> 00:22:25,695
Speaker 3: contractor on site and then use their phone or the

405
00:22:25,735 --> 00:22:30,415
Speaker 3: camera on their phone to view things inside the building.

406
00:22:30,535 --> 00:22:30,695
Speaker 2: Right.

407
00:22:32,415 --> 00:22:35,095
Speaker 3: Might be a pre line inspection, so that way it

408
00:22:35,135 --> 00:22:39,695
Speaker 3: also captures images of all of those critical stages. There's

409
00:22:39,695 --> 00:22:42,735
Speaker 3: also there I saw someone who had started a business

410
00:22:42,775 --> 00:22:45,895
Speaker 3: in New Zealand where his service is essentially he will

411
00:22:45,935 --> 00:22:49,255
Speaker 3: come to site prior to the lining, so you've got

412
00:22:49,295 --> 00:22:51,495
Speaker 3: the house closed and you've done all your services and

413
00:22:51,535 --> 00:22:54,335
Speaker 3: that sort of thing, and he will do a complete

414
00:22:54,375 --> 00:22:59,295
Speaker 3: scan of the inside of the building photography and it

415
00:22:59,375 --> 00:23:02,535
Speaker 3: will record dimensions and that sort of thing and then

416
00:23:02,575 --> 00:23:06,135
Speaker 3: give that to you as for record keeping later on,

417
00:23:06,855 --> 00:23:09,015
Speaker 3: which is pretty nifty as well. But yeah, I agree.

418
00:23:09,055 --> 00:23:11,055
Speaker 3: I think it's a really useful thing to do. It's

419
00:23:11,135 --> 00:23:13,895
Speaker 3: just it's as simple as you finish the inside of

420
00:23:13,895 --> 00:23:16,295
Speaker 3: the room, you're ready for plaster board, and you just

421
00:23:16,295 --> 00:23:19,575
Speaker 3: stand there and you go photograph, photograph, photograph, photograph. Ideally

422
00:23:19,695 --> 00:23:22,015
Speaker 3: take a moment and you know how you can add

423
00:23:22,055 --> 00:23:25,615
Speaker 3: notes to your photographs just on your camera and just

424
00:23:25,655 --> 00:23:30,495
Speaker 3: go bedroom one north, bedroom, one south, bedroom, one east west,

425
00:23:30,535 --> 00:23:32,775
Speaker 3: that sort of thing. You know. It's great.

426
00:23:33,175 --> 00:23:37,935
Speaker 8: We were and recently we sold a development and we

427
00:23:38,055 --> 00:23:41,615
Speaker 8: gave them the album. I mean, this is a long

428
00:23:41,655 --> 00:23:45,375
Speaker 8: time ago that one was done, yeah, more than twenty

429
00:23:45,455 --> 00:23:51,055
Speaker 8: years ago, and so they were very happy to receive it.

430
00:23:51,655 --> 00:23:53,615
Speaker 3: And I think too, you know, in terms of as

431
00:23:53,655 --> 00:23:56,095
Speaker 3: a developer, as a sales pitch in a sense it

432
00:23:56,535 --> 00:23:58,695
Speaker 3: says that you care. You know, it says that you've

433
00:23:58,695 --> 00:24:01,135
Speaker 3: got an attention to detail, that you've got nothing to hide,

434
00:24:01,175 --> 00:24:03,975
Speaker 3: because literally you're showing them photographs of the inside of

435
00:24:04,015 --> 00:24:08,055
Speaker 3: their walls. And if that goes into a folder or

436
00:24:08,095 --> 00:24:10,895
Speaker 3: it's on a USB stick and it's it's organized, I

437
00:24:10,895 --> 00:24:14,095
Speaker 3: think it's tremendous. In fact, I've been doing some sort

438
00:24:14,095 --> 00:24:20,175
Speaker 3: of investigative work trying to uncover it's a situation where

439
00:24:20,175 --> 00:24:22,935
Speaker 3: a building consent was issued, wasn't signed off, there was

440
00:24:22,975 --> 00:24:25,455
Speaker 3: a notice to fix, there was a subsequent building consent,

441
00:24:25,815 --> 00:24:28,855
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. And I happened to contact the

442
00:24:28,855 --> 00:24:31,255
Speaker 3: building surveyor who was involved in the project, and this

443
00:24:31,295 --> 00:24:35,495
Speaker 3: is twelve years ago and chatting with them on Friday,

444
00:24:35,495 --> 00:24:37,655
Speaker 3: and he goes, Yep, I'll go to my files and

445
00:24:37,695 --> 00:24:39,535
Speaker 3: I'll put it on a USB stick and give it

446
00:24:39,575 --> 00:24:41,975
Speaker 3: to you. So that sort of record keeping I think

447
00:24:42,055 --> 00:24:45,335
Speaker 3: is really really good. Yeah, I'm all for that. Good

448
00:24:45,335 --> 00:24:49,335
Speaker 3: on you, great idea. I love it. All the best

449
00:24:49,335 --> 00:24:51,215
Speaker 3: to you man, You have a great Christmas. Take care.

450
00:24:52,495 --> 00:24:54,215
Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty. If you've got a

451
00:24:54,295 --> 00:24:57,055
Speaker 3: question or a comment, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is

452
00:24:57,135 --> 00:25:02,295
Speaker 3: the number to call. Oh, Merry Christmas, Pete, and then

453
00:25:02,295 --> 00:25:04,935
Speaker 3: it gets worse from there. We've just replaced our windows

454
00:25:04,935 --> 00:25:08,175
Speaker 3: with aluminium sum sausage, which has scratched the front window.

455
00:25:08,295 --> 00:25:10,695
Speaker 3: Is there a product to go over it that will

456
00:25:10,695 --> 00:25:14,495
Speaker 3: sort of fill in the scratch, maybe a color polish

457
00:25:14,615 --> 00:25:16,975
Speaker 3: or something like that. Love the show. Always get up

458
00:25:16,975 --> 00:25:18,735
Speaker 3: early on a Sunday to listen. Thank you and it's

459
00:25:18,775 --> 00:25:21,175
Speaker 3: lovely to have you with us. I know that there

460
00:25:21,215 --> 00:25:23,695
Speaker 3: are a couple of specialist contractors out there who will

461
00:25:23,695 --> 00:25:27,015
Speaker 3: do repairs to aluminium jewnery for exactly that reason, because

462
00:25:27,255 --> 00:25:31,495
Speaker 3: it happens a lot, right, so it's probably a thriving business.

463
00:25:32,495 --> 00:25:35,055
Speaker 3: I'd suggest you go back to the manufacturer. No one's

464
00:25:35,095 --> 00:25:36,735
Speaker 3: going to own up to the mistake, so go back

465
00:25:36,735 --> 00:25:39,335
Speaker 3: to the manufacturer. They will have a contact, get someone

466
00:25:39,335 --> 00:25:42,575
Speaker 3: out to do it professionally, particularly if it's an area.

467
00:25:43,455 --> 00:25:47,375
Speaker 3: We had someone scratched the aluminium front door, right, so

468
00:25:47,455 --> 00:25:49,175
Speaker 3: it's the first thing you see when you arrive at

469
00:25:49,215 --> 00:25:52,935
Speaker 3: the house. We had someone come do a patch and

470
00:25:52,975 --> 00:25:55,215
Speaker 3: it might have even involved a complete respray of the

471
00:25:55,255 --> 00:25:58,495
Speaker 3: door on site. Absolutely fine, you'll never notice it, but yeah,

472
00:25:58,535 --> 00:26:01,295
Speaker 3: get a professional and thank you too. For the gentleman's

473
00:26:01,335 --> 00:26:04,415
Speaker 3: tech through to go up presuments. Gentlemen, Morning peat over

474
00:26:04,415 --> 00:26:06,695
Speaker 3: the last fifty two years of building. To remove gum

475
00:26:06,695 --> 00:26:09,695
Speaker 3: from the saw blade, I spray the blades while I'm

476
00:26:09,815 --> 00:26:15,295
Speaker 3: using them with diesel or CRC. Probably see RC's a

477
00:26:15,295 --> 00:26:17,095
Speaker 3: bit easier to get your hands on, and it comes

478
00:26:17,095 --> 00:26:20,455
Speaker 3: in an aerosol can. So try that. That was to

479
00:26:20,735 --> 00:26:23,215
Speaker 3: mark our earlier caller who wanted to clean up the blades.

480
00:26:23,295 --> 00:26:25,455
Speaker 3: So it's going to be a bit messy, it's going

481
00:26:25,495 --> 00:26:29,735
Speaker 3: to spray all over the place, but yep, that'd probably

482
00:26:29,735 --> 00:26:31,655
Speaker 3: work as well. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty

483
00:26:31,695 --> 00:26:34,295
Speaker 3: is the number to call another quick text as well. Morning.

484
00:26:34,375 --> 00:26:38,255
Speaker 3: A puttering question. I've noticed some discoloration mold in the

485
00:26:38,295 --> 00:26:41,055
Speaker 3: gray silicon in the shower areas. The house is about

486
00:26:41,055 --> 00:26:43,295
Speaker 3: five years old. Can you suggest a product to remove

487
00:26:43,335 --> 00:26:45,975
Speaker 3: and clean it up? Please? A couple of options there

488
00:26:49,255 --> 00:26:54,215
Speaker 3: was it mold killer exit mold works remarkably well if

489
00:26:54,255 --> 00:26:58,655
Speaker 3: it's you know, sort of surface mold. Failing that, if

490
00:26:58,695 --> 00:27:00,815
Speaker 3: the silicon itself has started to break down or the

491
00:27:00,855 --> 00:27:04,335
Speaker 3: molds got in behind it, then maybe it's time to

492
00:27:04,375 --> 00:27:07,375
Speaker 3: just strip out the silicon. You can use a little

493
00:27:07,455 --> 00:27:09,295
Speaker 3: tool to kind of peel it off, and then there

494
00:27:09,295 --> 00:27:13,775
Speaker 3: are silicon cleaners or dissolvers to remove the residue, let

495
00:27:13,775 --> 00:27:16,775
Speaker 3: the area dry thoroughly, and then redo the silicon. Makes

496
00:27:16,775 --> 00:27:19,535
Speaker 3: a big difference herby a very good morning to you.

497
00:27:20,615 --> 00:27:20,815
Speaker 4: Yes.

498
00:27:20,895 --> 00:27:25,095
Speaker 9: Look, I've got a concrete block garage. The concrete block

499
00:27:25,295 --> 00:27:29,255
Speaker 9: garage is on my boundary, and my neighbors planted bamboo

500
00:27:29,375 --> 00:27:30,375
Speaker 9: right up against that.

501
00:27:30,655 --> 00:27:31,255
Speaker 4: What I do?

502
00:27:32,935 --> 00:27:37,975
Speaker 3: Right, So your fence or your block wall definitely inside

503
00:27:38,015 --> 00:27:40,815
Speaker 3: your property on the boundary, but obviously right on the boundary.

504
00:27:41,215 --> 00:27:44,615
Speaker 9: The extent the boundary is outside of my concrete block

505
00:27:44,695 --> 00:27:45,175
Speaker 9: law yea.

506
00:27:45,415 --> 00:27:47,495
Speaker 3: And now it's covered in vegetation.

507
00:27:47,335 --> 00:27:51,455
Speaker 9: From and and I painted the inside of the wall

508
00:27:51,495 --> 00:27:51,855
Speaker 9: and it's.

509
00:27:51,775 --> 00:27:55,415
Speaker 3: All bubbling, ah, because you're getting moisture and from outside.

510
00:27:55,495 --> 00:27:57,295
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, what can I do?

511
00:27:57,815 --> 00:28:00,575
Speaker 3: Look, it's just got to be a conversation with the neighbor.

512
00:28:00,735 --> 00:28:04,775
Speaker 3: And maybe the neighbor is reluctant to do anything about it.

513
00:28:04,775 --> 00:28:08,815
Speaker 3: But if they give you permission to go, I mean,

514
00:28:08,855 --> 00:28:10,815
Speaker 3: the bamboo is going to grow back.

515
00:28:10,695 --> 00:28:14,775
Speaker 9: Isn't it current it's it gives up.

516
00:28:16,975 --> 00:28:22,815
Speaker 3: High, yeah, and it's it's only going to keep going. Look,

517
00:28:22,855 --> 00:28:25,735
Speaker 3: it's just got to be a conversation because I think

518
00:28:26,615 --> 00:28:29,775
Speaker 3: I don't think it will be because I you know,

519
00:28:29,855 --> 00:28:32,335
Speaker 3: I'm assuming that if you were just to simply into

520
00:28:32,375 --> 00:28:35,255
Speaker 3: your neighbor's property and you know, pull the bamboo back

521
00:28:35,375 --> 00:28:37,695
Speaker 3: or something like that and do the painting, well, that's

522
00:28:37,815 --> 00:28:39,175
Speaker 3: kind of trespass, isn't it.

523
00:28:39,255 --> 00:28:39,415
Speaker 4: You know?

524
00:28:39,895 --> 00:28:48,575
Speaker 9: Yes, ah, in terms of the coloring like that.

525
00:28:49,495 --> 00:28:52,175
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think if you decided to paint a vibrant

526
00:28:52,215 --> 00:28:54,455
Speaker 3: red color or something like that, theybe would probably not

527
00:28:54,495 --> 00:28:58,175
Speaker 3: be too happy. Look, it's it's unfortunate. If you can't

528
00:28:58,175 --> 00:29:01,535
Speaker 3: have a conversation, then I really don't know what your

529
00:29:01,535 --> 00:29:05,335
Speaker 3: options are. You know, potentially under the Property Act, you

530
00:29:05,375 --> 00:29:09,215
Speaker 3: could enforce notice that allows you to get access for

531
00:29:09,415 --> 00:29:14,375
Speaker 3: reasonable tasks like maintenance. But criky, that's you know, swinging

532
00:29:14,415 --> 00:29:15,455
Speaker 3: an awfully big hammer.

533
00:29:15,495 --> 00:29:18,855
Speaker 9: Isn't it actually cut the bamboo a way to be

534
00:29:18,895 --> 00:29:20,695
Speaker 9: able to paint it?

535
00:29:20,815 --> 00:29:21,015
Speaker 4: Yeah?

536
00:29:21,015 --> 00:29:23,495
Speaker 3: I mean, look, and I have seen painters, you know,

537
00:29:23,535 --> 00:29:26,615
Speaker 3: where trees are up against buildings and that just kind

538
00:29:26,615 --> 00:29:29,815
Speaker 3: of wrapper just a drop cloth around them and then

539
00:29:30,015 --> 00:29:33,335
Speaker 3: tie you know, to a strop or to an anchor

540
00:29:33,375 --> 00:29:36,295
Speaker 3: point and pull the tree away for a period of time.

541
00:29:36,375 --> 00:29:38,855
Speaker 3: So if you didn't want to go, but you know

542
00:29:39,135 --> 00:29:41,575
Speaker 3: you could hack half a meter off the side of

543
00:29:41,575 --> 00:29:43,775
Speaker 3: the bamboo and it'll be back in a year's time.

544
00:29:43,815 --> 00:29:45,735
Speaker 3: So it's not like your neighbor's going to lose anything out.

545
00:29:45,775 --> 00:29:46,935
Speaker 3: But it's got to be a conversation.

546
00:29:47,815 --> 00:29:49,055
Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, mate, Well thank you.

547
00:29:49,415 --> 00:29:53,335
Speaker 3: Unfortunately I think it's it's all about contact, all right,

548
00:29:53,455 --> 00:29:55,775
Speaker 3: all the best, do you hear me? Take care all

549
00:29:55,775 --> 00:29:57,775
Speaker 3: of this by by oh, eight hundred and eighty ten

550
00:29:57,895 --> 00:30:03,135
Speaker 3: eighty that number to call discolouration of the mold. Yep,

551
00:30:03,175 --> 00:30:05,615
Speaker 3: we've dealt with that. Seal the inside of the wall

552
00:30:05,655 --> 00:30:08,575
Speaker 3: with armitek. Yeah, not a bad idea. If you can't

553
00:30:08,575 --> 00:30:10,655
Speaker 3: get to the outside, you'll need to strip off the

554
00:30:10,855 --> 00:30:13,655
Speaker 3: inside layer of painting. You need to have a bear

555
00:30:13,695 --> 00:30:16,975
Speaker 3: surface typically with these types of seilants to use. So

556
00:30:17,815 --> 00:30:20,495
Speaker 3: that is another option though. And we're starting to get

557
00:30:20,495 --> 00:30:24,535
Speaker 3: some questions in around four j our painting expert who

558
00:30:24,575 --> 00:30:27,855
Speaker 3: will join us at about seven twenty five this morning,

559
00:30:27,895 --> 00:30:30,655
Speaker 3: Jay from Razine. So if you've got any specific painting

560
00:30:30,775 --> 00:30:34,015
Speaker 3: questions like the couple that have come through already, that's

561
00:30:34,655 --> 00:30:36,535
Speaker 3: you're more than welcome to send them through and we'll

562
00:30:36,535 --> 00:30:39,135
Speaker 3: address those with Jay at seven twenty five this morning.

563
00:30:39,375 --> 00:30:41,615
Speaker 3: We are going to of course be talking with Red

564
00:30:41,655 --> 00:30:44,495
Speaker 3: Climb Past at around eight thirty this morning, So for

565
00:30:44,575 --> 00:30:48,375
Speaker 3: all of your gardening and entomological questions, we can do

566
00:30:48,535 --> 00:30:52,295
Speaker 3: that at around eight thirty this morning. Oh, eight hundred

567
00:30:52,335 --> 00:30:55,495
Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty is the number to call before

568
00:30:55,535 --> 00:30:58,535
Speaker 3: we grab our next caller. Just another text as well, Pete,

569
00:30:58,535 --> 00:31:01,135
Speaker 3: how do I adjust an aluminium door as it catches

570
00:31:01,175 --> 00:31:03,375
Speaker 3: on the bottom of the frame at this time of year,

571
00:31:03,655 --> 00:31:10,895
Speaker 3: but it's okay in winter. Sometimes aliminum doors drop because

572
00:31:11,615 --> 00:31:16,255
Speaker 3: they rely in part on the glass to keep them square.

573
00:31:16,575 --> 00:31:20,495
Speaker 3: So if you've got an aluminium frame, maybe with a

574
00:31:20,495 --> 00:31:23,775
Speaker 3: center rail in it and two pieces of glass, when

575
00:31:23,815 --> 00:31:27,095
Speaker 3: the glass is installed, it needs to be blocked correctly

576
00:31:27,415 --> 00:31:30,215
Speaker 3: so that the glass and a sense offers up some

577
00:31:30,335 --> 00:31:35,655
Speaker 3: support because glasses not going to move. So maybe what

578
00:31:35,775 --> 00:31:39,015
Speaker 3: you'll find in this instance maybe is that the door

579
00:31:39,095 --> 00:31:41,535
Speaker 3: has dropped a little bit because they haven't done the blocking.

580
00:31:41,655 --> 00:31:43,935
Speaker 3: But in order to do the blocking correctly, you probably

581
00:31:43,935 --> 00:31:48,255
Speaker 3: need to get a glazier to come through and redo

582
00:31:48,735 --> 00:31:51,295
Speaker 3: the way in which the glazing has been installed. That

583
00:31:51,375 --> 00:31:54,135
Speaker 3: might be part of it. If it's only a couple

584
00:31:54,135 --> 00:31:57,895
Speaker 3: of millimeters. You can. I've seen it done. It's a horrible,

585
00:31:57,895 --> 00:32:01,255
Speaker 3: horrible sound. If you really wanted to, you could plane

586
00:32:01,415 --> 00:32:04,815
Speaker 3: a little bit of the door off. I think it's

587
00:32:04,895 --> 00:32:08,615
Speaker 3: probably worth getting some of the companies that specialize in

588
00:32:08,695 --> 00:32:12,135
Speaker 3: elimentum maintenance to come through and maybe adjust the door

589
00:32:12,375 --> 00:32:14,975
Speaker 3: a little bit. You can have a go yourself, but

590
00:32:15,015 --> 00:32:17,575
Speaker 3: I think if you want to do it well, it's

591
00:32:17,615 --> 00:32:20,055
Speaker 3: probably a job for some professionals. Oh eight hundred and

592
00:32:20,135 --> 00:32:23,135
Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call. Ah. He's

593
00:32:23,175 --> 00:32:26,535
Speaker 3: a great text as well, Pete. I'm desperately wanting ideas

594
00:32:26,575 --> 00:32:29,255
Speaker 3: for a last minute present for Harvey. He's really hard

595
00:32:29,255 --> 00:32:31,975
Speaker 3: to buy for. He's a great di wire and very practical.

596
00:32:32,015 --> 00:32:34,535
Speaker 3: Any ideas of tools or whatever that wouldn't that you

597
00:32:34,575 --> 00:32:37,615
Speaker 3: wouldn't be without many many thanks and Merry Christmas from Ann.

598
00:32:38,895 --> 00:32:40,575
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, if he hasn't got a good rule,

599
00:32:41,055 --> 00:32:45,495
Speaker 3: I'd throw one of those in. That's quite nifty. I

600
00:32:45,815 --> 00:32:48,255
Speaker 3: happen to be in a tool shop funnily enough this

601
00:32:48,335 --> 00:32:53,375
Speaker 3: week and picked up and I was a little unsure

602
00:32:53,415 --> 00:32:59,295
Speaker 3: about buying this because I have been dismissive in my

603
00:32:59,335 --> 00:33:03,135
Speaker 3: attitude towards these a little a pencil sharpener for a

604
00:33:03,175 --> 00:33:06,975
Speaker 3: carpenter's pencil. So carpenter's pencils typically are sort of rectangular,

605
00:33:07,055 --> 00:33:11,935
Speaker 3: they're not round, and all of us who are tradespeople

606
00:33:12,175 --> 00:33:14,495
Speaker 3: just use our knives to sharpen them. But there is

607
00:33:14,575 --> 00:33:17,895
Speaker 3: now a sharpener for them. So I bought I actually

608
00:33:17,895 --> 00:33:21,775
Speaker 3: bought two, and I might give one away as a

609
00:33:21,775 --> 00:33:25,055
Speaker 3: bit of a joke gift. It's they're not terribly expensive.

610
00:33:25,055 --> 00:33:27,015
Speaker 3: I think it was like four dollars sixty or something

611
00:33:27,055 --> 00:33:30,495
Speaker 3: like that. I did use one yesterday. I'm going to

612
00:33:30,535 --> 00:33:32,895
Speaker 3: go back to using my knife, to be fair. I can't.

613
00:33:32,935 --> 00:33:36,135
Speaker 3: I can't make that shift. That's an option. And then

614
00:33:36,175 --> 00:33:37,735
Speaker 3: the other thing I was thinking about the other day

615
00:33:37,775 --> 00:33:41,455
Speaker 3: is if I was wandering through a different hardware store,

616
00:33:41,575 --> 00:33:44,935
Speaker 3: as it happens, and looking at the vast range of

617
00:33:45,535 --> 00:33:48,535
Speaker 3: Ryobi tools that was out there. And one of the

618
00:33:48,575 --> 00:33:53,535
Speaker 3: great changes I guess to battery power gear with some

619
00:33:54,215 --> 00:33:58,255
Speaker 3: manufacturers is that you can just buy the skin. So

620
00:33:58,535 --> 00:34:01,015
Speaker 3: in the past, whenever you bought a new cordless tool,

621
00:34:01,255 --> 00:34:03,535
Speaker 3: you ended up with a battery and a charger and

622
00:34:03,575 --> 00:34:06,255
Speaker 3: so on, and a certain point you don't need twelve

623
00:34:06,535 --> 00:34:09,455
Speaker 3: charges right, A couple are useful, but twelve is a

624
00:34:09,495 --> 00:34:12,935
Speaker 3: little bit profligate, whereas now today you can just buy

625
00:34:12,975 --> 00:34:16,535
Speaker 3: the skins, so you can extend the range of tools

626
00:34:16,575 --> 00:34:20,015
Speaker 3: from that particular brand by just buying the skins. And

627
00:34:20,055 --> 00:34:23,335
Speaker 3: so I was cruising along looking thinking, Ah, I didn't

628
00:34:23,375 --> 00:34:25,615
Speaker 3: know that you could get a clamp with a fan

629
00:34:25,775 --> 00:34:29,655
Speaker 3: on it, and hush, maybe I should update my torch.

630
00:34:30,335 --> 00:34:33,575
Speaker 3: Or perhaps having a little bluetooth radio that I can

631
00:34:33,615 --> 00:34:36,935
Speaker 3: connect to my Aden Vault Ryobi might be a useful tip.

632
00:34:37,015 --> 00:34:38,655
Speaker 3: So there you go. If you figure out sort of

633
00:34:39,175 --> 00:34:45,455
Speaker 3: in this case here and if you figure out what

634
00:34:46,535 --> 00:34:48,415
Speaker 3: brand of tool, you might be able to find just

635
00:34:48,455 --> 00:34:51,775
Speaker 3: a skin for that, and hopefully it's Ryobi, and you'll

636
00:34:51,775 --> 00:34:54,175
Speaker 3: find I don't know, you know, there's one hundred things

637
00:34:54,175 --> 00:34:56,335
Speaker 3: to choose from, literally one hundred things to choose from.

638
00:34:56,335 --> 00:34:56,535
Speaker 6: There.

639
00:34:57,095 --> 00:34:59,695
Speaker 3: I will keep thinking though about other little stocking stuffers

640
00:34:59,735 --> 00:35:03,695
Speaker 3: in terms of tools and useful gear. Gloves are always

641
00:35:03,695 --> 00:35:07,015
Speaker 3: good to get good pair of gloves lust for a while.

642
00:35:07,175 --> 00:35:09,095
Speaker 3: Oh eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty. I'll keep

643
00:35:09,135 --> 00:35:11,495
Speaker 3: my thinking cap on there. John, A very good morning

644
00:35:11,495 --> 00:35:11,855
Speaker 3: to you.

645
00:35:13,415 --> 00:35:17,735
Speaker 10: That's good morning people, hey, John. An extension to your

646
00:35:18,255 --> 00:35:24,015
Speaker 10: talk about having the photographs available from the building. So

647
00:35:24,655 --> 00:35:28,655
Speaker 10: this property I bought here were seven years old when

648
00:35:28,655 --> 00:35:31,735
Speaker 10: I bought it. The person was a bachelor that had

649
00:35:31,895 --> 00:35:35,935
Speaker 10: built it and he didn't have any family around. But

650
00:35:36,015 --> 00:35:39,895
Speaker 10: when I bought this property, I walked down and on

651
00:35:39,975 --> 00:35:45,815
Speaker 10: the kitchen table was seventy or so photographs that were

652
00:35:45,855 --> 00:35:48,935
Speaker 10: taken right from a bare section up to nearly the

653
00:35:48,975 --> 00:35:52,735
Speaker 10: completion of the building. But also all the accounts.

654
00:35:53,135 --> 00:35:54,695
Speaker 3: Wow, and the.

655
00:35:54,775 --> 00:35:58,255
Speaker 10: Accounts have been useful and that I can go back

656
00:35:58,255 --> 00:36:02,255
Speaker 10: to them and see who's supplied that, and if I

657
00:36:02,295 --> 00:36:05,455
Speaker 10: need to, I can go back to the originals supplier

658
00:36:05,535 --> 00:36:09,815
Speaker 10: and by a replacement p sort the one in one

659
00:36:09,935 --> 00:36:13,015
Speaker 10: protective case. I had to replace the garage.

660
00:36:12,615 --> 00:36:16,055
Speaker 3: Door, right, yeah, And.

661
00:36:15,015 --> 00:36:18,455
Speaker 10: I and the chap that came to do that, it says,

662
00:36:18,655 --> 00:36:20,255
Speaker 10: do you know what color it is? And I was

663
00:36:20,255 --> 00:36:23,295
Speaker 10: able to go to the accounts and see whose ride

664
00:36:23,335 --> 00:36:25,615
Speaker 10: the garage door and so there's the exact color of

665
00:36:25,695 --> 00:36:30,575
Speaker 10: the door, yep. And so you can imagine that that

666
00:36:30,695 --> 00:36:31,415
Speaker 10: was very helpful.

667
00:36:32,455 --> 00:36:34,495
Speaker 3: And I tell you what, there's also you know, because

668
00:36:34,495 --> 00:36:37,775
Speaker 3: obviously this is you know, this is practical and useful, right,

669
00:36:37,855 --> 00:36:40,055
Speaker 3: And it's one of those things that it's sort of

670
00:36:40,135 --> 00:36:44,415
Speaker 3: become well. People will take the initiative you've done it,

671
00:36:44,535 --> 00:36:46,615
Speaker 3: or the previous owners you your property, you've done it,

672
00:36:46,775 --> 00:36:49,695
Speaker 3: and it's done it. I try and be a little

673
00:36:49,695 --> 00:36:52,375
Speaker 3: bit methodical about projects that I'm doing, where I'll do

674
00:36:52,495 --> 00:36:56,535
Speaker 3: exactly the same thing, you know, photograph important stages of

675
00:36:56,615 --> 00:36:59,295
Speaker 3: the build and then keep that in a file. And

676
00:36:59,415 --> 00:37:01,775
Speaker 3: then when you're talking about keeping the receipts and so on,

677
00:37:02,015 --> 00:37:05,655
Speaker 3: there's an online tool. There's a cloud based system called

678
00:37:05,735 --> 00:37:11,175
Speaker 3: gt SO. It's GTE dot com and it's New Zealand developed,

679
00:37:12,015 --> 00:37:16,575
Speaker 3: and it's a facility where you can upload documents from

680
00:37:16,655 --> 00:37:20,135
Speaker 3: your building project and then hand them over. So once

681
00:37:20,175 --> 00:37:24,175
Speaker 3: you finish the project, you hand over the password essentially

682
00:37:24,295 --> 00:37:27,175
Speaker 3: to this file to a new owner and they will

683
00:37:27,215 --> 00:37:30,415
Speaker 3: be able to keep access to that for the next

684
00:37:30,495 --> 00:37:35,295
Speaker 3: ten years as part of the subscription service, and for example,

685
00:37:35,415 --> 00:37:37,015
Speaker 3: you will be able to record like we did on

686
00:37:37,095 --> 00:37:39,415
Speaker 3: a project a little while ago. It's a color steel

687
00:37:39,495 --> 00:37:41,895
Speaker 3: roof and as it happened, we had color steel cladding.

688
00:37:42,815 --> 00:37:45,055
Speaker 3: One of the important things in the warranty for the

689
00:37:45,135 --> 00:37:47,735
Speaker 3: color steel is that if it's on cladding, you wash

690
00:37:47,815 --> 00:37:50,935
Speaker 3: it once a year, so once you've entered the information,

691
00:37:51,095 --> 00:37:53,655
Speaker 3: so you go into the portal, you go you've got

692
00:37:53,695 --> 00:37:57,455
Speaker 3: color steel. It automatically goes out, finds the warranty documents

693
00:37:57,535 --> 00:38:01,415
Speaker 3: and the producer and the warranty documents and the guarantees

694
00:38:01,495 --> 00:38:04,375
Speaker 3: for it, and uploads that to the portal. Then it

695
00:38:04,535 --> 00:38:06,575
Speaker 3: goes ah. One of the things that you have to

696
00:38:06,615 --> 00:38:08,775
Speaker 3: do is wash it. Every year. I will send a

697
00:38:08,895 --> 00:38:11,735
Speaker 3: reminder to the new owner, have you washed it? Then

698
00:38:11,775 --> 00:38:14,215
Speaker 3: the owner can go out do the washing, take a

699
00:38:14,295 --> 00:38:17,415
Speaker 3: photograph of themselves doing it or something like that, upload

700
00:38:17,535 --> 00:38:21,175
Speaker 3: that to the portal, and keep a maintenance record as well.

701
00:38:21,335 --> 00:38:24,495
Speaker 3: So there's there's some very smart thinking in terms of

702
00:38:24,575 --> 00:38:28,055
Speaker 3: online tools and cloud based tools for exactly that as well.

703
00:38:30,295 --> 00:38:35,295
Speaker 3: Pretty nifty and John, I think the main thing is

704
00:38:35,375 --> 00:38:38,575
Speaker 3: that it speaks to an owner that has some consideration, right,

705
00:38:38,655 --> 00:38:41,615
Speaker 3: if you've done good record keeping and you're able to

706
00:38:41,695 --> 00:38:44,535
Speaker 3: hand over to a new owner, Hey, here's a copy

707
00:38:44,615 --> 00:38:47,775
Speaker 3: of Ideally, I think like it's not typical, but I

708
00:38:47,895 --> 00:38:51,415
Speaker 3: reckon that if you're selling a property that's reasonably recent,

709
00:38:51,655 --> 00:38:54,015
Speaker 3: you should be able to handover copies for example, of

710
00:38:54,135 --> 00:38:56,655
Speaker 3: the certificate code compliance.

711
00:38:59,375 --> 00:39:03,975
Speaker 10: The record drive are even of a person's solicitor's accounts.

712
00:39:04,255 --> 00:39:09,215
Speaker 3: Well, wow, look it's great, it's great. It just offers surety,

713
00:39:09,255 --> 00:39:13,175
Speaker 3: which I think is awesome. Yeah, much appreciative. John.

714
00:39:13,215 --> 00:39:15,695
Speaker 10: Then one of the things that helped with that, I

715
00:39:15,815 --> 00:39:18,855
Speaker 10: suppose was that the person who passed away so right,

716
00:39:19,055 --> 00:39:21,575
Speaker 10: so there was no for them.

717
00:39:21,455 --> 00:39:25,535
Speaker 3: To go yeah, yeah and look older stuff. It's harder

718
00:39:25,575 --> 00:39:28,935
Speaker 3: to keep the records, but these days, with the phones

719
00:39:28,935 --> 00:39:32,855
Speaker 3: and the technology we have, it's so much more convenient.

720
00:39:33,215 --> 00:39:35,095
Speaker 3: Thank you very much for that, John, all the very best.

721
00:39:35,135 --> 00:39:36,815
Speaker 3: We'll talk to Ravens straight after the break.

722
00:39:38,095 --> 00:39:38,335
Speaker 7: Thank you.

723
00:39:38,655 --> 00:39:41,175
Speaker 3: We're going to Raven's. Is going to wait till after

724
00:39:41,335 --> 00:39:43,415
Speaker 3: seven o'clock because we're a little bit tight for time.

725
00:39:44,295 --> 00:39:46,575
Speaker 3: Thank you to this to Bert. I think who's text

726
00:39:46,615 --> 00:39:49,055
Speaker 3: through Pete Regarding the tall skins. My wife was listening

727
00:39:49,135 --> 00:39:51,575
Speaker 3: asked what the heck is a skin? So I explained,

728
00:39:51,615 --> 00:39:53,775
Speaker 3: and she said, well he should say that on air,

729
00:39:53,935 --> 00:39:56,895
Speaker 3: as the woman is asking question may not understand. Yes,

730
00:39:57,015 --> 00:39:59,615
Speaker 3: good point. So skins is a way of referring to

731
00:39:59,975 --> 00:40:03,735
Speaker 3: being able to buy a cordless or a battery powered

732
00:40:03,855 --> 00:40:06,895
Speaker 3: tool without buying the entire kit. So let's say you've

733
00:40:06,895 --> 00:40:09,015
Speaker 3: already got a drill and a driver, and it came

734
00:40:09,095 --> 00:40:11,215
Speaker 3: with a battery and a charger. And then you want

735
00:40:11,295 --> 00:40:14,935
Speaker 3: to buy, for example, a torch, well, if you can

736
00:40:15,095 --> 00:40:18,255
Speaker 3: just buy the torch right, doesn't come with a battery,

737
00:40:18,535 --> 00:40:20,455
Speaker 3: doesn't come with a charger. And when you do that,

738
00:40:20,655 --> 00:40:23,735
Speaker 3: you buy just the tool, not the battery or the charger.

739
00:40:23,895 --> 00:40:24,575
Speaker 3: That's a skin.

740
00:40:25,855 --> 00:40:26,175
Speaker 10: There you go.

741
00:40:26,295 --> 00:40:30,015
Speaker 3: Hopefully that explains it. It's very useful. For a long

742
00:40:30,095 --> 00:40:32,295
Speaker 3: time that wasn't possible, but it is. Now we are

743
00:40:32,375 --> 00:40:35,775
Speaker 3: back after the break. Your news talk said, be welcome

744
00:40:35,815 --> 00:40:37,855
Speaker 3: back to the program. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten

745
00:40:37,975 --> 00:40:40,575
Speaker 3: eighty is the number to call. At around seven twenty five,

746
00:40:41,175 --> 00:40:44,735
Speaker 3: we'll catch up with Jay, our painting expert from Razine.

747
00:40:45,375 --> 00:40:49,135
Speaker 3: Got some great texts coming through or ready, so we'll

748
00:40:49,255 --> 00:40:51,855
Speaker 3: we'll deal with those at about seven twenty five. Right now, though,

749
00:40:52,015 --> 00:40:56,495
Speaker 3: your opportunity to talk all things building and construction, and

750
00:40:56,575 --> 00:40:59,735
Speaker 3: I like the discussion that we've just started around record keeping,

751
00:41:01,335 --> 00:41:05,695
Speaker 3: which it's one of those things you can do it

752
00:41:06,335 --> 00:41:09,775
Speaker 3: ever need it, and then you kind of go, why

753
00:41:09,855 --> 00:41:11,695
Speaker 3: did I bother? And then every now and then you

754
00:41:11,895 --> 00:41:16,415
Speaker 3: encounter a situation where if someone had have kept records

755
00:41:16,415 --> 00:41:18,815
Speaker 3: and I'm talking about you know, like photographs of a

756
00:41:18,975 --> 00:41:22,615
Speaker 3: wall prior to lining, or copies of the receipts. Our

757
00:41:22,655 --> 00:41:26,655
Speaker 3: conversation with John just beforehand, you know that I think

758
00:41:26,775 --> 00:41:30,975
Speaker 3: the one instance a property had available at time of

759
00:41:31,095 --> 00:41:34,535
Speaker 3: purchase all of the receipts from all of the contractors

760
00:41:34,575 --> 00:41:39,375
Speaker 3: who are involved in the build. That's fantastic. And he

761
00:41:39,455 --> 00:41:42,055
Speaker 3: talked about, you know, needing a replacement garage door or

762
00:41:42,095 --> 00:41:44,695
Speaker 3: some maintenance on a garage door. Well, there's the copy

763
00:41:44,935 --> 00:41:48,375
Speaker 3: of the invoice for the supply and the installation of

764
00:41:48,375 --> 00:41:51,375
Speaker 3: the garage door. It's got the installer's detail, it's got

765
00:41:51,415 --> 00:41:54,415
Speaker 3: the manufacturer's details on it, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

766
00:41:54,935 --> 00:41:57,655
Speaker 3: If there's an issue, and if it's within a warranty period,

767
00:41:58,415 --> 00:42:00,175
Speaker 3: then you can go back to them and go, hey,

768
00:42:00,255 --> 00:42:02,095
Speaker 3: you need to attend, or even if it's outside of

769
00:42:02,135 --> 00:42:04,215
Speaker 3: the warranty period and you're just looking for advice on

770
00:42:04,295 --> 00:42:07,295
Speaker 3: that particular one. If you've got the records, it's there.

771
00:42:08,215 --> 00:42:11,615
Speaker 3: And like I say, there's now digital and online cloud

772
00:42:11,695 --> 00:42:15,175
Speaker 3: based platforms as well which you can use to upload

773
00:42:15,335 --> 00:42:19,135
Speaker 3: all of that information as well, so you can't lose it. Oh,

774
00:42:19,175 --> 00:42:20,855
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. If you want to

775
00:42:20,895 --> 00:42:23,295
Speaker 3: talk about anything to do with building, the lines are

776
00:42:23,335 --> 00:42:25,295
Speaker 3: open for you now. And Rawan, thank you very much

777
00:42:25,335 --> 00:42:27,295
Speaker 3: for waiting. How are you well?

778
00:42:27,375 --> 00:42:30,655
Speaker 11: Some thanks pee. Look, I rang a few weeks ago

779
00:42:30,775 --> 00:42:34,335
Speaker 11: regarding a leak that I've got coming somewhere from the shower. Yes,

780
00:42:34,735 --> 00:42:37,775
Speaker 11: through about a meter of tiles from the shower door

781
00:42:37,975 --> 00:42:40,815
Speaker 11: to the carpet where the carpet work joins the living area.

782
00:42:42,375 --> 00:42:44,015
Speaker 11: They've had a lot of had plumbers look at it,

783
00:42:44,055 --> 00:42:45,695
Speaker 11: builders look at it, and they all reckon that the

784
00:42:45,775 --> 00:42:48,775
Speaker 11: water is coming across the top of the tiles. Now

785
00:42:48,895 --> 00:42:50,415
Speaker 11: I don't know how they can stay the top of

786
00:42:50,535 --> 00:42:53,535
Speaker 11: the tiles. Yeah, coming from across the top of the

787
00:42:53,615 --> 00:42:57,095
Speaker 11: tiles that I walk on, and I can't see how

788
00:42:57,215 --> 00:43:00,695
Speaker 11: they I'm having a shower there every morning and I

789
00:43:00,855 --> 00:43:02,495
Speaker 11: check for water. There is no one. There might be

790
00:43:02,495 --> 00:43:05,495
Speaker 11: about a teaspoon worth right outside the shower in the corner,

791
00:43:06,815 --> 00:43:09,695
Speaker 11: but there's no way that the water is tracking along

792
00:43:09,775 --> 00:43:12,175
Speaker 11: the top of the times. That's coming from underneath. And

793
00:43:12,335 --> 00:43:16,895
Speaker 11: I've been putting a handytawel underneath the carpet, underneath the underlay,

794
00:43:16,935 --> 00:43:20,175
Speaker 11: which is very thin, and the carpet, and every morning

795
00:43:20,615 --> 00:43:24,455
Speaker 11: by about ten thirty ten to fifteen, there's half of

796
00:43:24,535 --> 00:43:28,375
Speaker 11: that that handytail is wet, and then by that twelve

797
00:43:28,495 --> 00:43:33,015
Speaker 11: fifteen it is soaking wet. And they've put some a

798
00:43:33,215 --> 00:43:36,935
Speaker 11: strip of silicon on with the piece of aluminium step

799
00:43:37,015 --> 00:43:39,975
Speaker 11: over to get into the shower. They've put some silicon

800
00:43:40,255 --> 00:43:42,775
Speaker 11: along there under there on the inside of the shower

801
00:43:42,815 --> 00:43:45,855
Speaker 11: part and somewhere up I didn't watch them. We put

802
00:43:45,895 --> 00:43:50,695
Speaker 11: it somewhere up going upwards as well. That they obviously

803
00:43:50,695 --> 00:43:52,895
Speaker 11: thought that would it solve the problem, but it hasn't.

804
00:43:52,975 --> 00:43:57,895
Speaker 11: It's just I'm keeping a diary now and I just wondered,

805
00:43:58,095 --> 00:44:00,775
Speaker 11: is there any other place that can be coming from?

806
00:44:00,855 --> 00:44:02,735
Speaker 11: I mean, it's got to be coming some in term,

807
00:44:02,775 --> 00:44:05,775
Speaker 11: it's got to be coming from underneath the tiles, but

808
00:44:05,855 --> 00:44:07,935
Speaker 11: on top of concrete, and it's got to be tracking

809
00:44:08,735 --> 00:44:12,615
Speaker 11: trekking along to the carpet to get to get to

810
00:44:12,735 --> 00:44:16,095
Speaker 11: making it so silly. Underneath it's been black mold. That

811
00:44:16,215 --> 00:44:19,375
Speaker 11: the piece of wooden strip that's got the text on

812
00:44:19,495 --> 00:44:21,015
Speaker 11: it that that the carpet.

813
00:44:20,935 --> 00:44:23,295
Speaker 4: Yes, that is like black.

814
00:44:24,415 --> 00:44:25,495
Speaker 11: I guess this black mold.

815
00:44:26,255 --> 00:44:29,175
Speaker 3: And after that it will start to decay, right, that's

816
00:44:29,215 --> 00:44:29,935
Speaker 3: what's going to happen.

817
00:44:32,055 --> 00:44:32,535
Speaker 11: It's not gonna.

818
00:44:32,615 --> 00:44:38,455
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna right, so the floors decay. I mean,

819
00:44:38,695 --> 00:44:40,535
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit surprised by their advice in the

820
00:44:40,615 --> 00:44:43,335
Speaker 3: sense that you know, if you're if you make the claim,

821
00:44:43,375 --> 00:44:45,415
Speaker 3: well it's water that is flowing over the top of

822
00:44:45,455 --> 00:44:47,695
Speaker 3: the tiles, and you're in there having a shower, and

823
00:44:47,895 --> 00:44:50,215
Speaker 3: you you know that there is no water flowing on

824
00:44:50,295 --> 00:44:53,215
Speaker 3: top of the tiles, then that that's not the answer,

825
00:44:53,335 --> 00:44:58,015
Speaker 3: is it. I think that it's tracking along between the

826
00:44:58,095 --> 00:45:02,975
Speaker 3: tile and the waterproofing and then exiting out and and

827
00:45:04,055 --> 00:45:06,015
Speaker 3: there's potentially a whole lot of things going on there.

828
00:45:06,535 --> 00:45:08,695
Speaker 3: Is it a level entry shower.

829
00:45:10,815 --> 00:45:12,695
Speaker 11: Level entry? They can't put a level on it, And

830
00:45:12,815 --> 00:45:14,255
Speaker 11: to me it looked like it was level because I've

831
00:45:14,255 --> 00:45:16,655
Speaker 11: got a level too, But it might have they reckon

832
00:45:17,015 --> 00:45:19,495
Speaker 11: it could be that three mill out like three mil

833
00:45:19,575 --> 00:45:22,495
Speaker 11: on a on a lean, but it's not leaning enough

834
00:45:22,615 --> 00:45:25,015
Speaker 11: to make a torrent of water. There's no water on

835
00:45:25,095 --> 00:45:27,135
Speaker 11: the top of the tiles anyway to flow down there.

836
00:45:27,455 --> 00:45:29,015
Speaker 3: It won't be on top of the tiles, it'll be

837
00:45:29,095 --> 00:45:33,055
Speaker 3: tracking between the tile and the waterproofing through the adhesive.

838
00:45:33,135 --> 00:45:35,855
Speaker 3: And then there's issue. You know, there might be. It

839
00:45:35,975 --> 00:45:39,015
Speaker 3: often becomes really small things. I suspect there's no water

840
00:45:39,095 --> 00:45:42,695
Speaker 3: stop between the shower area and the floor, which there

841
00:45:42,695 --> 00:45:44,735
Speaker 3: should be if it's a level entry shower.

842
00:45:46,015 --> 00:45:49,175
Speaker 11: And an entry shower, and it's got I mean it's

843
00:45:49,175 --> 00:45:49,535
Speaker 11: a level.

844
00:45:50,135 --> 00:45:52,295
Speaker 3: So when you walk from you on your if you're

845
00:45:52,335 --> 00:45:55,575
Speaker 3: walking on your bathroom floor and then you go to

846
00:45:55,735 --> 00:45:58,655
Speaker 3: step into the shower, do you step over like what

847
00:45:58,775 --> 00:46:01,055
Speaker 3: we call a hob or a little upstand or is

848
00:46:01,135 --> 00:46:01,655
Speaker 3: it level?

849
00:46:02,335 --> 00:46:04,975
Speaker 11: It's just a little aluminium about not even maybe a

850
00:46:05,095 --> 00:46:07,415
Speaker 11: ninch eie, not even a ninch, just a bit of aluminium.

851
00:46:07,655 --> 00:46:12,775
Speaker 11: Then I stepped over. So then the water tie, then

852
00:46:12,815 --> 00:46:14,975
Speaker 11: the tiles slope down towards the drain hole.

853
00:46:14,815 --> 00:46:18,095
Speaker 10: Obviously on a very light How old is the job.

854
00:46:19,735 --> 00:46:20,815
Speaker 8: The house?

855
00:46:20,855 --> 00:46:24,535
Speaker 11: Well, it's in a retirement village and it would be

856
00:46:25,175 --> 00:46:26,735
Speaker 11: her twenty years old, I guess.

857
00:46:27,215 --> 00:46:31,335
Speaker 3: Okay, so it's outside of warranty. But with respect, if

858
00:46:31,335 --> 00:46:35,535
Speaker 3: it's in a retirement village, then you have a license

859
00:46:35,575 --> 00:46:37,575
Speaker 3: to occupy, but you don't own it, in which case

860
00:46:37,615 --> 00:46:41,335
Speaker 3: it becomes an issue for the property manager.

861
00:46:42,255 --> 00:46:44,175
Speaker 11: That's right, So it does, and he's been here and

862
00:46:44,295 --> 00:46:45,735
Speaker 11: they just he gets a builder to come and have

863
00:46:45,815 --> 00:46:47,855
Speaker 11: a lock, and they just said me, they come and

864
00:46:48,015 --> 00:46:49,735
Speaker 11: check it out while I'm not here, run a whole

865
00:46:49,775 --> 00:46:51,575
Speaker 11: lot of water, and then there might be a tiny

866
00:46:51,575 --> 00:46:52,855
Speaker 11: bit of water on the floor, and they say, oh,

867
00:46:52,895 --> 00:46:55,975
Speaker 11: it's coming across the floor, it's coming across the title. Hey,

868
00:46:56,175 --> 00:46:58,055
Speaker 11: when I get out of the showering morning, I check

869
00:46:58,295 --> 00:46:59,375
Speaker 11: to see there's any water there.

870
00:46:59,415 --> 00:47:00,175
Speaker 4: There is no water.

871
00:47:00,615 --> 00:47:02,815
Speaker 11: Maybe there might be a little drop, like a teeth thingful,

872
00:47:03,215 --> 00:47:05,495
Speaker 11: and that ain't going to run along towards a meter

873
00:47:05,615 --> 00:47:07,935
Speaker 11: across the noted look.

874
00:47:08,015 --> 00:47:10,895
Speaker 3: I wonder whether in the end, I think you you know,

875
00:47:10,975 --> 00:47:12,375
Speaker 3: the people who are coming to look at it are

876
00:47:12,415 --> 00:47:16,095
Speaker 3: being a bit dismissive and they are so on, So

877
00:47:16,295 --> 00:47:18,975
Speaker 3: I rather than continue to deal with them, I think

878
00:47:19,015 --> 00:47:21,695
Speaker 3: you need to go to management, to the owner of

879
00:47:21,815 --> 00:47:25,575
Speaker 3: the complex and just go, look, this is in the end,

880
00:47:26,255 --> 00:47:28,495
Speaker 3: you're going to stop occupying the building and it's going

881
00:47:28,575 --> 00:47:32,055
Speaker 3: to be somebody else's problem. But the owner of the building,

882
00:47:32,135 --> 00:47:34,775
Speaker 3: it's in their best interest to deal with this, and

883
00:47:34,855 --> 00:47:36,655
Speaker 3: the people that they're sending are not dealing with it.

884
00:47:36,735 --> 00:47:39,215
Speaker 3: So I would go to management and go, hey, you

885
00:47:39,335 --> 00:47:41,575
Speaker 3: need to give me a better contractor to look at them.

886
00:47:42,775 --> 00:47:44,655
Speaker 11: The manager's already been to have a look at it herself.

887
00:47:44,775 --> 00:47:48,735
Speaker 11: But to rectify the problem they would have to do

888
00:47:48,855 --> 00:47:49,575
Speaker 11: at the tiles.

889
00:47:49,375 --> 00:47:52,135
Speaker 3: And they I think so someone has text through and said, look,

890
00:47:52,215 --> 00:47:55,015
Speaker 3: potentially there is a leak and a pipe in the slab.

891
00:47:56,695 --> 00:48:00,535
Speaker 3: That does happen, it's relatively rare. It could be a

892
00:48:00,615 --> 00:48:06,735
Speaker 3: blockage in the wastewater pipe that is causing the water

893
00:48:06,855 --> 00:48:09,895
Speaker 3: when it goes through the drain to block and but

894
00:48:10,135 --> 00:48:12,815
Speaker 3: you know, it's a long way through the slab, and

895
00:48:13,415 --> 00:48:16,335
Speaker 3: if the water appears at the doorway not long after

896
00:48:16,375 --> 00:48:19,615
Speaker 3: you've had a shower, then the shortest direction is traveling

897
00:48:19,735 --> 00:48:24,215
Speaker 3: between the waterproofing and the tile, and that will involve

898
00:48:24,375 --> 00:48:27,455
Speaker 3: the replacement of the tiles. But you know that's quite

899
00:48:27,495 --> 00:48:29,495
Speaker 3: a big job, and they probably reluctant to do that

900
00:48:29,615 --> 00:48:30,855
Speaker 3: while you're there.

901
00:48:32,615 --> 00:48:34,335
Speaker 11: I'm an old lady and I don't know what I'm talking.

902
00:48:34,135 --> 00:48:37,575
Speaker 3: About, but look, I think you've just got to go

903
00:48:37,695 --> 00:48:39,895
Speaker 3: further up the chain in terms of the communication that

904
00:48:39,975 --> 00:48:42,895
Speaker 3: you're having all the best your own, you take care

905
00:48:42,895 --> 00:48:46,175
Speaker 3: of pleasure, all the best. By then, oh eight hundred

906
00:48:46,175 --> 00:48:48,735
Speaker 3: and eighty, ten eighty, it is seven fifteen here at

907
00:48:48,775 --> 00:48:50,735
Speaker 3: news Talk, said be Mike good morning.

908
00:48:52,455 --> 00:48:56,775
Speaker 12: Retra foot in a house, it's going to be it's

909
00:48:57,335 --> 00:49:01,495
Speaker 12: underneath the floor. It's only three hundred between the ground

910
00:49:01,615 --> 00:49:04,335
Speaker 12: and the bottom of the joist. Now, I don't think

911
00:49:04,375 --> 00:49:07,935
Speaker 12: it actually specifies a height, but it just talks about

912
00:49:08,015 --> 00:49:10,775
Speaker 12: health and safety as normally you can do it. That

913
00:49:10,895 --> 00:49:12,495
Speaker 12: would be too tightn't it.

914
00:49:12,775 --> 00:49:15,015
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say so, and especially when you're saying

915
00:49:15,055 --> 00:49:17,895
Speaker 3: it's three hundred to the joist, and then typically the

916
00:49:17,975 --> 00:49:20,175
Speaker 3: joist will be sitting on a bearer, in which case

917
00:49:21,695 --> 00:49:25,535
Speaker 3: the bearers would be well at the very least two

918
00:49:25,655 --> 00:49:29,575
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty millimeters. Well maybe a few years ago

919
00:49:29,615 --> 00:49:31,855
Speaker 3: I could have got through two hundred and fifty millimeters,

920
00:49:31,895 --> 00:49:36,455
Speaker 3: but not anymore so, no, I think because in terms

921
00:49:36,495 --> 00:49:39,575
Speaker 3: of the Healthy Homes legislation, it's required to put insulation

922
00:49:39,815 --> 00:49:44,015
Speaker 3: in an accessible underfloor space, and I would declare that

923
00:49:44,135 --> 00:49:47,255
Speaker 3: that is inaccessible due to health and safety concerns.

924
00:49:47,295 --> 00:49:50,695
Speaker 12: That you know, they don't actually specify a height, do they.

925
00:49:51,015 --> 00:49:55,615
Speaker 3: No, No, there's not actually, and I have read through

926
00:49:55,615 --> 00:49:58,695
Speaker 3: it because at one stage I thought there was there

927
00:49:58,775 --> 00:50:01,575
Speaker 3: was a detail around not having to have a vapor

928
00:50:01,655 --> 00:50:05,015
Speaker 3: barrier if the floor was a certain height above the ground.

929
00:50:05,095 --> 00:50:07,215
Speaker 3: But in fact, that's I can't find that in the

930
00:50:07,335 --> 00:50:11,095
Speaker 3: legislation either. So yeah, I think in terms of if

931
00:50:11,135 --> 00:50:14,535
Speaker 3: you're doing a healthy Home certificate, you would probably say

932
00:50:14,855 --> 00:50:19,095
Speaker 3: insulation underfloor no, and then add in a comment there

933
00:50:19,135 --> 00:50:22,695
Speaker 3: that says due to health and safety concerns, it's not

934
00:50:22,895 --> 00:50:26,095
Speaker 3: accessible and so there won't be a retrofit of insulation,

935
00:50:26,175 --> 00:50:28,615
Speaker 3: which is unfortunate. We all know that it's a good thing,

936
00:50:29,935 --> 00:50:32,855
Speaker 3: but realistically no, I.

937
00:50:32,935 --> 00:50:34,775
Speaker 12: Mean, even when it's tight, even if you can get

938
00:50:34,855 --> 00:50:36,655
Speaker 12: under the you've still got to be able to work.

939
00:50:36,735 --> 00:50:37,975
Speaker 12: That's the problem as well.

940
00:50:38,375 --> 00:50:40,575
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, and ideally you need to be able

941
00:50:40,615 --> 00:50:43,135
Speaker 3: to roll over. So typically when we're building from new

942
00:50:43,375 --> 00:50:45,655
Speaker 3: the requirement is I think, off the top of my head,

943
00:50:45,695 --> 00:50:48,775
Speaker 3: you need four hundred and fifty millimeters from the underside

944
00:50:48,815 --> 00:50:53,575
Speaker 3: of the bearer to the ground. Yeah, and you won't

945
00:50:53,655 --> 00:50:58,015
Speaker 3: have that, all right, no trouble. It may pay, you know,

946
00:50:58,215 --> 00:51:00,655
Speaker 3: just in case, if you are the landlord or if

947
00:51:00,695 --> 00:51:05,215
Speaker 3: you're doing the insulation statement, just go through and maybe

948
00:51:05,295 --> 00:51:08,615
Speaker 3: attach a copy of the regulations, just so that people

949
00:51:08,855 --> 00:51:10,735
Speaker 3: understand that you're not just trying to get out of

950
00:51:10,775 --> 00:51:13,895
Speaker 3: the job. Oh you know what I mean, you know,

951
00:51:14,455 --> 00:51:16,335
Speaker 3: you know what people are like. All right, mate, all

952
00:51:16,375 --> 00:51:19,375
Speaker 3: the best to you, take care, Thanks Mike. Eight hundred

953
00:51:19,455 --> 00:51:23,655
Speaker 3: eighty eight is the number to call. And Galvin, good

954
00:51:23,695 --> 00:51:24,135
Speaker 3: morning to you.

955
00:51:25,855 --> 00:51:27,095
Speaker 7: Yeah, good morning morning.

956
00:51:28,375 --> 00:51:28,735
Speaker 3: What's up?

957
00:51:28,775 --> 00:51:34,455
Speaker 7: Yeah? Okay, I've got an eighteen year old houses built

958
00:51:34,495 --> 00:51:39,895
Speaker 7: eighteen years ago, solid concrete block, solid field of course,

959
00:51:39,895 --> 00:51:42,655
Speaker 7: and then the parapets that stick up above the roofline

960
00:51:43,615 --> 00:51:47,535
Speaker 7: they have they're on a very generous angle good so

961
00:51:47,975 --> 00:51:52,015
Speaker 7: absolutely no water pools. But at the time they decided

962
00:51:52,055 --> 00:51:54,775
Speaker 7: to put mutiny old capping around the top, which they

963
00:51:54,855 --> 00:51:58,655
Speaker 7: did and it looked fine until the years later the

964
00:51:58,855 --> 00:52:02,775
Speaker 7: black stouts are leaps down off the angle. Part that's irrelevant.

965
00:52:02,815 --> 00:52:05,215
Speaker 7: I just want to would like to remove it. And

966
00:52:06,335 --> 00:52:09,335
Speaker 7: I believe there are quite good razine products around now

967
00:52:09,495 --> 00:52:12,295
Speaker 7: that you can actually put on there that are silicon

968
00:52:12,375 --> 00:52:16,375
Speaker 7: based or whatever that are quite good waterproofing. But I

969
00:52:16,655 --> 00:52:19,735
Speaker 7: think I don't think that's the issue. I'm thinking about

970
00:52:19,775 --> 00:52:22,375
Speaker 7: the glues that would be there. How would you remove it?

971
00:52:22,935 --> 00:52:25,455
Speaker 7: Can you remove it or can you treat it or whatever?

972
00:52:26,535 --> 00:52:27,855
Speaker 7: And could the job be done?

973
00:52:27,855 --> 00:52:28,255
Speaker 11: Do you think?

974
00:52:29,495 --> 00:52:31,655
Speaker 3: Let me just ask a couple of specific questions. So

975
00:52:32,135 --> 00:52:35,815
Speaker 3: the block wall extends up and then there is a

976
00:52:35,975 --> 00:52:38,895
Speaker 3: fleshing over the top, and have they created that fleshing?

977
00:52:39,055 --> 00:52:41,375
Speaker 3: And Bututanyl correct.

978
00:52:41,535 --> 00:52:46,015
Speaker 7: Yeah, at the time, the architect didn't even ask for

979
00:52:46,135 --> 00:52:48,375
Speaker 7: the He just says, look, I've got a generous angle

980
00:52:48,455 --> 00:52:50,975
Speaker 7: on there as the way overseas and and the next

981
00:52:51,015 --> 00:52:53,735
Speaker 7: thing come back and it's the end. I thought it's okay.

982
00:52:53,775 --> 00:52:57,295
Speaker 7: It looked great until the black starts leaching. It's aged.

983
00:52:57,375 --> 00:52:59,975
Speaker 7: Now it's sounding crack. I thought I could replace.

984
00:52:59,735 --> 00:53:03,095
Speaker 3: It, Yeah, I'd rather Why wouldn't you replace it with

985
00:53:03,175 --> 00:53:04,295
Speaker 3: a metal fleshing.

986
00:53:05,735 --> 00:53:08,535
Speaker 7: Because of the look. The appearance would not lend to it.

987
00:53:08,775 --> 00:53:12,695
Speaker 7: And it's very very rounded. It lots of round parts

988
00:53:12,735 --> 00:53:15,935
Speaker 7: on it. You know, it wouldn't couldn't know it was

989
00:53:16,015 --> 00:53:16,455
Speaker 7: the way to go.

990
00:53:16,695 --> 00:53:18,775
Speaker 4: But can I do that?

991
00:53:19,455 --> 00:53:21,975
Speaker 3: I just think that's such a poor detail, you know,

992
00:53:22,615 --> 00:53:25,415
Speaker 3: And I'm hesitant to criticize the architect and all the

993
00:53:25,455 --> 00:53:28,575
Speaker 3: rest of it, but you know, for something like that,

994
00:53:28,935 --> 00:53:31,655
Speaker 3: for a flashing on top of a parapet wall, you

995
00:53:31,775 --> 00:53:37,495
Speaker 3: want that to be robust, right. Look, I wouldn't rely

996
00:53:37,615 --> 00:53:40,175
Speaker 3: on a paint system for that, and you know, I

997
00:53:40,255 --> 00:53:43,295
Speaker 3: trust the paint systems when they're used in the right application,

998
00:53:43,495 --> 00:53:48,095
Speaker 3: but using it on a not quite vertical surface, even

999
00:53:48,135 --> 00:53:50,295
Speaker 3: if there is let's say there's fifteen or twenty degree

1000
00:53:50,335 --> 00:53:52,655
Speaker 3: pitch on there so the water doesn't pull on there.

1001
00:53:53,135 --> 00:53:55,415
Speaker 3: I still don't think that a painted system is the

1002
00:53:55,535 --> 00:53:59,455
Speaker 3: right application there. I wonder whether if you can get

1003
00:53:59,535 --> 00:54:03,135
Speaker 3: the buttantnoll off, whether you look at getting a waterproofer

1004
00:54:03,215 --> 00:54:06,895
Speaker 3: and to do either a torch on membrane, so like

1005
00:54:06,975 --> 00:54:11,575
Speaker 3: a bitumen based product or a TPO which is a

1006
00:54:12,215 --> 00:54:16,615
Speaker 3: plasticized product which can be adhered down and is quite flexible.

1007
00:54:16,855 --> 00:54:18,855
Speaker 3: So it will but it will be a lot more

1008
00:54:18,975 --> 00:54:22,815
Speaker 3: robust than what you've had there. So I don't think

1009
00:54:22,815 --> 00:54:25,975
Speaker 3: it's a painting solution. I think it's a proper flashing

1010
00:54:26,095 --> 00:54:26,695
Speaker 3: type solution.

1011
00:54:28,335 --> 00:54:31,575
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, what was the first one you suggested?

1012
00:54:32,295 --> 00:54:35,775
Speaker 3: So there's torch on membranes like Viking membranes for example,

1013
00:54:37,015 --> 00:54:40,895
Speaker 3: and then there's TPOs. So Viking will have a range

1014
00:54:40,895 --> 00:54:45,055
Speaker 3: of products and they've got their own licensed applicators to

1015
00:54:45,135 --> 00:54:47,415
Speaker 3: do it as well. So that the beauty of either

1016
00:54:47,735 --> 00:54:50,815
Speaker 3: the Viking type product which is an asphalt based one,

1017
00:54:50,935 --> 00:54:53,335
Speaker 3: or the TPOs is that they are you know, you

1018
00:54:53,455 --> 00:54:55,135
Speaker 3: can be a little bit creative in terms of the

1019
00:54:55,255 --> 00:54:58,335
Speaker 3: shapes that you create with it. You still don't want

1020
00:54:58,375 --> 00:55:01,215
Speaker 3: any sharp corners. So if it's pitching, let's say, and

1021
00:55:01,255 --> 00:55:04,255
Speaker 3: then it drops down, you'd want that rounded off. And

1022
00:55:04,375 --> 00:55:07,615
Speaker 3: you probably find that if the has been formed over

1023
00:55:08,135 --> 00:55:11,375
Speaker 3: a reasonably sharp corner, that that that will break up

1024
00:55:11,415 --> 00:55:13,375
Speaker 3: over time as you would expect.

1025
00:55:13,375 --> 00:55:16,815
Speaker 7: It is exactly right here. And yeah, okay, oh no,

1026
00:55:16,975 --> 00:55:18,375
Speaker 7: that's great. Okay, thanks very much.

1027
00:55:18,455 --> 00:55:22,415
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's where I would head. Yep, thank you, alrighty,

1028
00:55:22,575 --> 00:55:24,615
Speaker 3: all the best of you, Calvin. You take care. We

1029
00:55:24,735 --> 00:55:26,335
Speaker 3: can take a short break. Then we're going to get

1030
00:55:26,575 --> 00:55:28,655
Speaker 3: Jay on the line, and then we're going to talk

1031
00:55:28,775 --> 00:55:32,015
Speaker 3: about your building or your painting questions. Still got time

1032
00:55:32,055 --> 00:55:35,375
Speaker 3: for a couple more texts nine to nine two Jay

1033
00:55:35,535 --> 00:55:39,695
Speaker 3: from Razine and just a moment, righty oh, this morning

1034
00:55:39,695 --> 00:55:41,535
Speaker 3: we're a bang on time actually, and I know that

1035
00:55:41,575 --> 00:55:43,295
Speaker 3: we're bang on time because I got this flash new

1036
00:55:43,375 --> 00:55:47,415
Speaker 3: clock in the studio. It's a great Christmas present. Ten

1037
00:55:47,535 --> 00:55:49,735
Speaker 3: years I've waited for this to be installed, and here

1038
00:55:49,775 --> 00:55:52,735
Speaker 3: it is today, the last Sunday before Christmas. I am

1039
00:55:52,895 --> 00:55:57,815
Speaker 3: so pathetically happy that it's it's remarkable anyway, it is

1040
00:55:57,895 --> 00:55:59,975
Speaker 3: bang on seven twenty five, which is when we said

1041
00:56:00,015 --> 00:56:02,095
Speaker 3: we talked to Jay and here is a very good

1042
00:56:02,095 --> 00:56:05,855
Speaker 3: morning to you Jay house things. Well good mate, yeah,

1043
00:56:05,935 --> 00:56:09,015
Speaker 3: very well. Actually, can I say, I know you probably

1044
00:56:09,055 --> 00:56:10,775
Speaker 3: didn't send it to me, but I thank you anyway.

1045
00:56:11,135 --> 00:56:14,375
Speaker 3: I got a lovely little package from Razine with some

1046
00:56:14,975 --> 00:56:17,335
Speaker 3: nibbles and bits and pieces in it for Christmas, and

1047
00:56:17,775 --> 00:56:20,815
Speaker 3: most usefully and probably most excitable for me, a really

1048
00:56:20,935 --> 00:56:24,175
Speaker 3: nice four leader painting that I can use this summer.

1049
00:56:24,455 --> 00:56:26,055
Speaker 4: About it, Yeah.

1050
00:56:25,895 --> 00:56:29,055
Speaker 3: It's an empty painting and it was like, I'll take

1051
00:56:29,095 --> 00:56:31,855
Speaker 3: all that really nice stuff out, but the painting's going

1052
00:56:31,895 --> 00:56:36,695
Speaker 3: to be awesome. So thank you to the team at

1053
00:56:36,735 --> 00:56:37,975
Speaker 3: Razine for that was very nice.

1054
00:56:39,015 --> 00:56:39,175
Speaker 7: Hey.

1055
00:56:39,215 --> 00:56:41,975
Speaker 3: Look, typically, and I mean, if I think back to

1056
00:56:42,055 --> 00:56:46,095
Speaker 3: my childhood, let's say summer, my dad seemed to spend

1057
00:56:46,295 --> 00:56:49,055
Speaker 3: all of summer painting the house. Right, maybe he did

1058
00:56:49,095 --> 00:56:52,535
Speaker 3: a side a year or something like that. He built

1059
00:56:52,575 --> 00:56:56,335
Speaker 3: his own bit of scaffolding and so we used to

1060
00:56:56,455 --> 00:56:58,735
Speaker 3: drag that out, put the planks up, and we'd be

1061
00:56:58,855 --> 00:57:01,855
Speaker 3: out there sanding and prepping and painting the summer. And

1062
00:57:01,935 --> 00:57:07,495
Speaker 3: that's pretty typical for most Kiwi households. I'm also convinced

1063
00:57:07,495 --> 00:57:09,775
Speaker 3: that at that time, sandpaper must have been like two

1064
00:57:09,895 --> 00:57:13,135
Speaker 3: hundred dollars a meter, because there was no way that

1065
00:57:13,335 --> 00:57:15,375
Speaker 3: if I presented him with a piece of sandpaper that

1066
00:57:15,495 --> 00:57:17,215
Speaker 3: still had one bit of grit on it, it would

1067
00:57:17,255 --> 00:57:19,535
Speaker 3: be like no, no, no, you can still keep using.

1068
00:57:19,415 --> 00:57:22,055
Speaker 4: That sometimes, very similar to man.

1069
00:57:24,015 --> 00:57:25,895
Speaker 3: But look, we tend to crack into a bit of

1070
00:57:25,935 --> 00:57:31,455
Speaker 3: outdoor painting first up. Safety is really important, eh, Yes.

1071
00:57:31,375 --> 00:57:34,055
Speaker 4: Safety is always important. A cringe when you said built

1072
00:57:34,055 --> 00:57:34,495
Speaker 4: your own.

1073
00:57:34,375 --> 00:57:39,735
Speaker 3: Scaffold, Hey look pretty robust. To be fair, he didn't

1074
00:57:39,895 --> 00:57:44,535
Speaker 3: build anything shonky. So yeah, it's always have a certificate.

1075
00:57:47,495 --> 00:57:50,095
Speaker 4: Safety is always paramount. Everyone wants to come home safe

1076
00:57:50,095 --> 00:57:52,015
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, especially this time the year.

1077
00:57:52,615 --> 00:57:55,975
Speaker 4: So like, if you're not feeling confident, I'm just looking

1078
00:57:55,975 --> 00:58:00,015
Speaker 4: at my roof. Yeah, yes, don't do it. It's always

1079
00:58:00,055 --> 00:58:02,455
Speaker 4: best to get somebody else in. If you're feeling confident,

1080
00:58:02,535 --> 00:58:04,495
Speaker 4: you're all good. Just make sure you're taking as many

1081
00:58:04,535 --> 00:58:10,335
Speaker 4: precautions as possible. Yeah, absolutely, same with scaffold, same with

1082
00:58:10,895 --> 00:58:15,375
Speaker 4: like ladders as well. Don't reach. Yes, work in a

1083
00:58:15,455 --> 00:58:18,895
Speaker 4: sensible area and it's yeah, it's a bit of a workout,

1084
00:58:18,975 --> 00:58:22,055
Speaker 4: but up and down and move along and finish safely.

1085
00:58:22,495 --> 00:58:25,735
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that's right. And the other thing I guess

1086
00:58:25,775 --> 00:58:27,455
Speaker 3: with painting at this time of year is, you know,

1087
00:58:27,535 --> 00:58:29,895
Speaker 3: typically during winter we're always looking for a little patch

1088
00:58:29,975 --> 00:58:33,175
Speaker 3: of sun in order to work. But in summer is

1089
00:58:33,255 --> 00:58:35,895
Speaker 3: the general rule don't paint in direct sunlight.

1090
00:58:36,415 --> 00:58:41,095
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't paint in direct sunlight, kind of follow the

1091
00:58:41,135 --> 00:58:45,655
Speaker 4: sun around the house. Yes, use hot weather additive if

1092
00:58:45,695 --> 00:58:49,695
Speaker 4: you're painting. It will help sort of slow the paint

1093
00:58:49,975 --> 00:58:52,575
Speaker 4: drying time down and just increase the flow of the paint.

1094
00:58:53,735 --> 00:58:56,095
Speaker 4: Makes a massive difference to the finished especially if you've

1095
00:58:56,095 --> 00:58:59,655
Speaker 4: got any gloss in the paint. Yeah. And I mean,

1096
00:58:59,735 --> 00:59:02,375
Speaker 4: like you're saying with your dad doing the painting every year,

1097
00:59:02,815 --> 00:59:06,215
Speaker 4: and if you've got timber windows, it's it's really good

1098
00:59:06,415 --> 00:59:09,855
Speaker 4: to keep on top of those splits and cracks or

1099
00:59:10,135 --> 00:59:13,415
Speaker 4: just sort of sooner you can tidy those up or

1100
00:59:13,535 --> 00:59:16,775
Speaker 4: help the whole paint system last a whole lot longer.

1101
00:59:20,095 --> 00:59:22,335
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm in the same boat like most people. Right,

1102
00:59:22,455 --> 00:59:24,775
Speaker 3: So we did a lot of painting about seven eight

1103
00:59:24,855 --> 00:59:27,375
Speaker 3: years ago. It's lasted well, but there's the beginning of

1104
00:59:27,895 --> 00:59:29,735
Speaker 3: you know, some gaps and cracks and that sort of

1105
00:59:29,775 --> 00:59:34,175
Speaker 3: thing coming along. And I'm thinking, now, what type of

1106
00:59:34,255 --> 00:59:36,015
Speaker 3: paint did I use so Again, this comes back to

1107
00:59:36,055 --> 00:59:39,495
Speaker 3: an earlier conversation about record keeping. Ideally in a diary

1108
00:59:39,655 --> 00:59:42,495
Speaker 3: or something like that or online, you keep maybe a

1109
00:59:42,575 --> 00:59:44,815
Speaker 3: photograph of the tin, so that when you go to

1110
00:59:44,895 --> 00:59:47,135
Speaker 3: paint the window, you go, ah, now did I use

1111
00:59:47,295 --> 00:59:49,095
Speaker 3: oil based in them? Or did I use a water

1112
00:59:49,175 --> 00:59:51,415
Speaker 3: born da? Da da da da. You know exactly what

1113
00:59:52,615 --> 00:59:53,455
Speaker 3: keep the records?

1114
00:59:54,295 --> 00:59:57,335
Speaker 4: It's I mean most people nowadays have a smartphone. Ye

1115
00:59:57,455 --> 01:00:00,415
Speaker 4: just take a picture a lot of the time. You

1116
01:00:00,455 --> 01:00:02,535
Speaker 4: can then edit that picture and write on it. So

1117
01:00:02,775 --> 01:00:06,575
Speaker 4: you can do windows, you could do exterior inter Yeah,

1118
01:00:06,895 --> 01:00:10,215
Speaker 4: you can really break it down or or like say,

1119
01:00:10,295 --> 01:00:12,615
Speaker 4: have a diary in a book in write everything down.

1120
01:00:12,855 --> 01:00:15,975
Speaker 3: Yep, absolutely right. Let's up into a couple of takes.

1121
01:00:16,015 --> 01:00:20,295
Speaker 3: This is great in terms of like prepping the house.

1122
01:00:20,335 --> 01:00:23,255
Speaker 3: Someone sticks through and they've they've named a particular product

1123
01:00:23,295 --> 01:00:28,175
Speaker 3: to use. I'll leave that out. But in general, before painting,

1124
01:00:28,295 --> 01:00:29,975
Speaker 3: we need to wash in print.

1125
01:00:31,055 --> 01:00:34,655
Speaker 4: Yep. You know, we always recommend moss and moldle yes,

1126
01:00:35,695 --> 01:00:38,415
Speaker 4: so you really want to kill any spores and any

1127
01:00:38,495 --> 01:00:40,695
Speaker 4: moss and mold that's not made. Don't just sort of

1128
01:00:40,895 --> 01:00:46,255
Speaker 4: paint over it. We then recommend if it's most houses

1129
01:00:46,335 --> 01:00:49,135
Speaker 4: are paint prepping house wash. If it's a deck, it

1130
01:00:49,175 --> 01:00:52,735
Speaker 4: would be timber and deck wash, and that the paint

1131
01:00:52,775 --> 01:00:56,615
Speaker 4: prepping housewash is just really good at removing surface contamination,

1132
01:00:57,095 --> 01:01:00,775
Speaker 4: sort of the old chalky residue from the paint on

1133
01:01:01,015 --> 01:01:04,495
Speaker 4: the side of the building or on a roof. Remember,

1134
01:01:04,615 --> 01:01:08,055
Speaker 4: like when you're repainting the new pint sticking to what's

1135
01:01:08,175 --> 01:01:11,215
Speaker 4: on the surface, and just there's any surface contamination are

1136
01:01:11,255 --> 01:01:13,615
Speaker 4: you sticking to that? It might not be very well

1137
01:01:13,655 --> 01:01:17,455
Speaker 4: adhered to the building or the surface. So that's why

1138
01:01:17,495 --> 01:01:22,055
Speaker 4: you really want to clean it and remove everything light sand,

1139
01:01:22,455 --> 01:01:25,535
Speaker 4: so the new paintin really key in and stick in

1140
01:01:25,695 --> 01:01:28,215
Speaker 4: last at seven eight, ten plus years.

1141
01:01:28,535 --> 01:01:32,775
Speaker 3: Yeah, just in terms of the moss and mold killer

1142
01:01:32,815 --> 01:01:34,615
Speaker 3: that you've got, if you've got lichen on the roof

1143
01:01:34,815 --> 01:01:37,495
Speaker 3: and you spray there the qushion from Chris's how long

1144
01:01:37,655 --> 01:01:40,735
Speaker 3: after spraying it could you sort of scrape that like

1145
01:01:40,815 --> 01:01:42,055
Speaker 3: and off if it's really heavy.

1146
01:01:44,935 --> 01:01:48,935
Speaker 4: I mean, you can make up the directions for mixing

1147
01:01:48,975 --> 01:01:51,375
Speaker 4: all on the side of the container, but you can

1148
01:01:51,455 --> 01:01:55,215
Speaker 4: make a pretty strong solution up spray on. I mean

1149
01:01:55,295 --> 01:01:57,375
Speaker 4: you can spray it on and scrub straight away or

1150
01:01:57,455 --> 01:01:59,935
Speaker 4: some like them. You might take a couple of treatments

1151
01:02:00,015 --> 01:02:02,455
Speaker 4: to actually spray on, leave it a couple of days,

1152
01:02:02,695 --> 01:02:05,855
Speaker 4: give it a scrub, and then spray again. I mean,

1153
01:02:05,895 --> 01:02:08,495
Speaker 4: I've seen some that kind of comes off it fairly

1154
01:02:08,575 --> 01:02:11,255
Speaker 4: quickly if it's pretty new, And I've seen other roofs

1155
01:02:11,295 --> 01:02:13,415
Speaker 4: that look like they were made out of liken and

1156
01:02:13,615 --> 01:02:15,855
Speaker 4: take multiple cleans to kind of remove it.

1157
01:02:15,855 --> 01:02:19,375
Speaker 3: All right, Okay, thank you very much for that. Now

1158
01:02:19,455 --> 01:02:22,215
Speaker 3: this is an interesting one only because the advice I

1159
01:02:22,295 --> 01:02:26,295
Speaker 3: got from Bryce a little while he goes is counter

1160
01:02:26,415 --> 01:02:28,535
Speaker 3: to what I would intuitively do. So I'm interested in

1161
01:02:28,615 --> 01:02:31,375
Speaker 3: this good morning. I've got a new timber fence. Do

1162
01:02:31,535 --> 01:02:33,495
Speaker 3: I paint it or stain it? I want it to

1163
01:02:33,615 --> 01:02:38,975
Speaker 3: be black, Okay, so hard.

1164
01:02:40,735 --> 01:02:44,215
Speaker 4: Difference between paint and stains really personal preference and how

1165
01:02:44,295 --> 01:02:50,055
Speaker 4: it looks right, And then like painting tends to love

1166
01:02:50,175 --> 01:02:53,575
Speaker 4: a little bit longer. So that was saying seven years

1167
01:02:53,775 --> 01:02:58,415
Speaker 4: ten years maximum, I suppose before repainting, whereas staining you're

1168
01:02:58,455 --> 01:03:02,015
Speaker 4: restaining every couple of years. But you've got the sort

1169
01:03:02,055 --> 01:03:04,735
Speaker 4: of grain look in, the more natural look to it. Yes,

1170
01:03:05,855 --> 01:03:07,975
Speaker 4: So I'm in the same boat at the moment. I've

1171
01:03:08,055 --> 01:03:11,255
Speaker 4: got new fencing, and I'm looking at it, going do

1172
01:03:11,335 --> 01:03:13,775
Speaker 4: I paint it or do I stain it? Because I've

1173
01:03:13,815 --> 01:03:18,055
Speaker 4: got other bits of fencing that's painted in my house sustained,

1174
01:03:18,255 --> 01:03:20,215
Speaker 4: So I think the stuff next to the house I'm

1175
01:03:20,215 --> 01:03:22,455
Speaker 4: going to stain, and the stuff next to the already

1176
01:03:22,495 --> 01:03:26,655
Speaker 4: painted black fence, and then the paint, Yeah, would obviously

1177
01:03:26,855 --> 01:03:30,175
Speaker 4: paint it jobs more heat, so you'd like me to

1178
01:03:30,215 --> 01:03:34,335
Speaker 4: get more walping cupping of the boards in potential splits

1179
01:03:34,375 --> 01:03:36,015
Speaker 4: and cracks. So I would always say, if you're going

1180
01:03:36,135 --> 01:03:37,655
Speaker 4: darker colors, use the cool color.

1181
01:03:38,295 --> 01:03:42,815
Speaker 3: Yeah, system, Yeah, okay, brilliant right now, paint Can you

1182
01:03:42,895 --> 01:03:45,735
Speaker 3: ask the paint guy that's you why the deck paint

1183
01:03:45,935 --> 01:03:49,575
Speaker 3: has a mottled appearance after we've put two coats of

1184
01:03:49,655 --> 01:03:53,215
Speaker 3: a light gray paint over a previous coating that was

1185
01:03:53,335 --> 01:03:56,095
Speaker 3: normal in appearance. They just wanted to refresh it by

1186
01:03:56,135 --> 01:03:58,895
Speaker 3: applying two coats over the top. But it's gone mottled.

1187
01:04:00,815 --> 01:04:04,375
Speaker 4: So they were paint in the deck deck was already.

1188
01:04:04,215 --> 01:04:06,895
Speaker 3: The deck was already painted, I presume, and so to

1189
01:04:07,055 --> 01:04:10,055
Speaker 3: frish it up, they've put two new coats of light

1190
01:04:10,215 --> 01:04:13,375
Speaker 3: gray over the previous coating. So let's assume that it's

1191
01:04:13,455 --> 01:04:16,775
Speaker 3: paint on paint and the top coat is modeled.

1192
01:04:19,495 --> 01:04:19,535
Speaker 13: It.

1193
01:04:20,375 --> 01:04:23,615
Speaker 4: God, there's this number of things. It's one could be

1194
01:04:24,015 --> 01:04:28,295
Speaker 4: how they prepped it. Two could be depending on when

1195
01:04:28,335 --> 01:04:32,975
Speaker 4: they finished and the weather. Yes, if they've finished a

1196
01:04:33,015 --> 01:04:34,895
Speaker 4: bit later in the day and it's been hit by

1197
01:04:35,015 --> 01:04:37,335
Speaker 4: jew or I had it a couple of years ago

1198
01:04:37,375 --> 01:04:40,935
Speaker 4: when I stained my deck. Forecasts looked good looking out

1199
01:04:40,975 --> 01:04:44,495
Speaker 4: the window looked good. Stained it, and within an hour

1200
01:04:44,575 --> 01:04:47,015
Speaker 4: of finishing it rained and I ended up with a

1201
01:04:47,215 --> 01:04:52,055
Speaker 4: modeled appearance through the stain. So it could be that.

1202
01:04:52,335 --> 01:04:56,375
Speaker 4: If not and none of those, maybe take some pictures

1203
01:04:56,775 --> 01:04:59,575
Speaker 4: in poppingcher locals in color shop and see what they

1204
01:04:59,695 --> 01:05:04,135
Speaker 4: say I mean. It could also be not stirring the paint.

1205
01:05:04,295 --> 01:05:07,535
Speaker 4: If it's been sat for a bit. You might have

1206
01:05:07,655 --> 01:05:10,775
Speaker 4: some tints that have here that sit differently. That's where

1207
01:05:10,815 --> 01:05:13,095
Speaker 4: we keep and stir the paint whilst you're using it,

1208
01:05:13,295 --> 01:05:18,055
Speaker 4: just so your colors stays consistent through it. Yeah, it

1209
01:05:18,135 --> 01:05:19,015
Speaker 4: could be a couple of things.

1210
01:05:19,735 --> 01:05:24,055
Speaker 3: Excellent. Okay, here's a slightly unusual one. Someone is making

1211
01:05:24,215 --> 01:05:29,375
Speaker 3: some food chopping boards out of remove what's a suitable

1212
01:05:29,455 --> 01:05:34,535
Speaker 3: oil for that out of your wheelhouse? Isn't that.

1213
01:05:34,615 --> 01:05:41,215
Speaker 4: Sorry, Yes, I'm not sure what we've got that you

1214
01:05:41,255 --> 01:05:46,575
Speaker 4: could use for that. Again, maybe I'm not too sure.

1215
01:05:46,655 --> 01:05:48,855
Speaker 4: Maybe you could jump on the razime website and do

1216
01:05:49,095 --> 01:05:52,495
Speaker 4: ask an expert or check with the people where you

1217
01:05:52,615 --> 01:05:57,055
Speaker 4: got the remove. I bought microcarpa before from Cypress Sawmill,

1218
01:05:57,415 --> 01:06:00,615
Speaker 4: and they've got plenty of options in the place like

1219
01:06:00,695 --> 01:06:02,735
Speaker 4: that that sells them to look.

1220
01:06:02,735 --> 01:06:08,055
Speaker 3: Yeah, perfect good thinking. I've just used olive oil sometimes

1221
01:06:08,415 --> 01:06:12,375
Speaker 3: because yeah, chance that's in your kitchen anyway. Right, painting

1222
01:06:12,455 --> 01:06:18,575
Speaker 3: are retaining or made of telephone poles, I mean something

1223
01:06:18,655 --> 01:06:21,495
Speaker 3: like telephone poles. Typically it's a hardwood, right, So trying

1224
01:06:21,575 --> 01:06:24,735
Speaker 3: to paint onto hardwood would be a bit of a challenge.

1225
01:06:25,375 --> 01:06:29,495
Speaker 4: I think it's also if what have they been coated in?

1226
01:06:30,455 --> 01:06:34,935
Speaker 4: Ah anything. I've got some old railway sleepers that I got,

1227
01:06:35,055 --> 01:06:39,575
Speaker 4: but there it's absolutely soaked in career, so it's there's

1228
01:06:39,655 --> 01:06:44,935
Speaker 4: not much you can really overcope them with. So I

1229
01:06:45,015 --> 01:06:47,735
Speaker 4: mean you'd be best to try a test area really

1230
01:06:47,815 --> 01:06:49,455
Speaker 4: on them to see if something's going to work in

1231
01:06:49,535 --> 01:06:54,255
Speaker 4: it here, but I'd probably go witheing wood primer, followed

1232
01:06:54,375 --> 01:06:57,415
Speaker 4: by I mean you could try a test spot, which

1233
01:06:57,495 --> 01:07:00,215
Speaker 4: is usually um lumbersider and just see how it goes

1234
01:07:00,375 --> 01:07:02,695
Speaker 4: before attempting to do everything right.

1235
01:07:02,935 --> 01:07:07,655
Speaker 3: Perfect morning, Pete and Jay, I have a new bathroom

1236
01:07:07,695 --> 01:07:10,735
Speaker 3: with a shower. Can I use the shower before the

1237
01:07:10,815 --> 01:07:14,135
Speaker 3: bathroom gets painted and then get it painted in the

1238
01:07:14,295 --> 01:07:19,615
Speaker 3: new year. So let's assume that the bathroom's being rebuilt.

1239
01:07:19,895 --> 01:07:25,615
Speaker 3: There's exposed plasterboard, yep, and they need to use the shower.

1240
01:07:25,735 --> 01:07:29,655
Speaker 4: Now, I would at least try and get a coat

1241
01:07:29,695 --> 01:07:32,455
Speaker 4: of shore seal and all the plaster board. Right, zine

1242
01:07:32,495 --> 01:07:35,975
Speaker 4: color shops are sort of open apart from the stat day,

1243
01:07:36,095 --> 01:07:38,055
Speaker 4: so you could just jump into one of those, grab

1244
01:07:38,135 --> 01:07:42,015
Speaker 4: a small port of shore seal. The Soltnborn Shaw seals

1245
01:07:42,095 --> 01:07:44,615
Speaker 4: what I'd recommend, although I think you can use the

1246
01:07:44,815 --> 01:07:49,055
Speaker 4: water borne as well, and at least get the sort

1247
01:07:49,095 --> 01:07:53,415
Speaker 4: of jib board or sealed up field just the subject

1248
01:07:53,495 --> 01:07:56,095
Speaker 4: dear thing you want to get in moisture in any

1249
01:07:56,175 --> 01:07:59,695
Speaker 4: issues in the jib before you seal it, because then

1250
01:07:59,735 --> 01:08:01,455
Speaker 4: you're going to end up sealing any of that in

1251
01:08:02,815 --> 01:08:03,335
Speaker 4: down the line.

1252
01:08:03,695 --> 01:08:06,295
Speaker 3: Because the challenge would be, let's say, use the shower

1253
01:08:06,495 --> 01:08:08,975
Speaker 3: or the bathroom for a period of time and you know,

1254
01:08:09,415 --> 01:08:11,975
Speaker 3: like you say, moisture will be absorbed into the surface

1255
01:08:12,055 --> 01:08:14,895
Speaker 3: of the substrate into the plaster board. Then if you

1256
01:08:15,015 --> 01:08:17,895
Speaker 3: go and coat it and you seal that in, you know,

1257
01:08:18,015 --> 01:08:21,735
Speaker 3: are you creating a problem for later on? Or just

1258
01:08:21,815 --> 01:08:22,935
Speaker 3: get a coat of sealer.

1259
01:08:22,735 --> 01:08:25,535
Speaker 4: On it now, I think that would be the best thing.

1260
01:08:26,695 --> 01:08:28,415
Speaker 4: It wouldn't take too long, just to coat it all

1261
01:08:28,535 --> 01:08:33,175
Speaker 4: up in shr cell and then then then you could

1262
01:08:33,295 --> 01:08:37,335
Speaker 4: use it give it a clean down before painting in

1263
01:08:37,375 --> 01:08:37,855
Speaker 4: the new year.

1264
01:08:38,215 --> 01:08:41,855
Speaker 3: Yeah. Perfect. Now this is one that be fairly common

1265
01:08:41,935 --> 01:08:43,655
Speaker 3: to a lot of people. So in this instance it's

1266
01:08:43,775 --> 01:08:47,135
Speaker 3: linear weatherboard, so a five or cement board that's been coated.

1267
01:08:47,495 --> 01:08:50,575
Speaker 3: The boards are an extremely good condition. The existing paint

1268
01:08:50,735 --> 01:08:53,535
Speaker 3: is also in very good condition, no flaking or chalking.

1269
01:08:53,895 --> 01:08:57,535
Speaker 3: It was last painted fifteen years ago. That's impressive. My

1270
01:08:57,695 --> 01:09:00,175
Speaker 3: question is do I need to sand the weatherboards or

1271
01:09:00,255 --> 01:09:03,655
Speaker 3: can I just apply two new top coats. I'm using

1272
01:09:03,735 --> 01:09:06,095
Speaker 3: the same paint in the same color, which happens to

1273
01:09:06,135 --> 01:09:07,415
Speaker 3: be semi gloss from David.

1274
01:09:09,375 --> 01:09:12,375
Speaker 4: I would still obviously clean down we talked about earlier.

1275
01:09:13,935 --> 01:09:16,215
Speaker 4: But if it's semigloss, or if you've got any gloss

1276
01:09:16,215 --> 01:09:18,775
Speaker 4: when you're repainting, it's always good to give a light

1277
01:09:18,895 --> 01:09:22,135
Speaker 4: sand just to be gloss. Yes it was water based previously,

1278
01:09:22,255 --> 01:09:24,895
Speaker 4: it will just be a light sand and then yes,

1279
01:09:24,975 --> 01:09:28,135
Speaker 4: you can go over with the same paint. If again,

1280
01:09:28,175 --> 01:09:30,615
Speaker 4: if you're painting this time of years, think about there

1281
01:09:30,695 --> 01:09:33,455
Speaker 4: was in hot weather additive because it'll just help the

1282
01:09:33,495 --> 01:09:36,415
Speaker 4: flow and help keep that web edge. Especially when you're

1283
01:09:36,415 --> 01:09:40,495
Speaker 4: painting with any sort of gloss, any stop start marks

1284
01:09:40,535 --> 01:09:44,095
Speaker 4: become very apparent. So anything that can help, like the

1285
01:09:44,135 --> 01:09:46,575
Speaker 4: hot weather additive, will go a long way to make

1286
01:09:46,615 --> 01:09:48,975
Speaker 4: the overall appearance look really good once you finished.

1287
01:09:49,215 --> 01:09:51,855
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you what. Just if you're painting with

1288
01:09:51,975 --> 01:09:53,975
Speaker 3: the boards on the exterior of a house, and let's

1289
01:09:53,975 --> 01:09:56,495
Speaker 3: say the house is eight meters long, right, and normally

1290
01:09:56,575 --> 01:09:58,895
Speaker 3: these windows and but some pieces that intersect it. But

1291
01:09:58,935 --> 01:10:02,455
Speaker 3: there will always be those boards that run continuously from

1292
01:10:02,495 --> 01:10:04,615
Speaker 3: one end of the house to the other. So do

1293
01:10:04,695 --> 01:10:08,135
Speaker 3: you try and keep working on one board from one

1294
01:10:08,255 --> 01:10:08,615
Speaker 3: side to.

1295
01:10:08,655 --> 01:10:13,255
Speaker 4: The other, or do you you know, like we say

1296
01:10:13,295 --> 01:10:15,335
Speaker 4: when we're staining, like just stick to a couple of

1297
01:10:15,455 --> 01:10:18,655
Speaker 4: boards at the time, right, and just work along the

1298
01:10:18,695 --> 01:10:21,775
Speaker 4: whole length. Yeah, Like you say, with windows, you're going

1299
01:10:21,855 --> 01:10:24,415
Speaker 4: to have bits where you can do multiple boards in

1300
01:10:24,455 --> 01:10:27,655
Speaker 4: a very short short space. Yep, But you're going to

1301
01:10:27,735 --> 01:10:29,775
Speaker 4: have boards, so it's going to run that pretty much

1302
01:10:29,855 --> 01:10:34,055
Speaker 4: full full length. Obviously you're going to have joined the

1303
01:10:34,575 --> 01:10:39,895
Speaker 4: natural stop start points, So I just work to sort

1304
01:10:39,935 --> 01:10:42,415
Speaker 4: of a place where you can stop and it's not

1305
01:10:42,495 --> 01:10:45,455
Speaker 4: going to be apparent if you just brush sort of

1306
01:10:45,535 --> 01:10:48,095
Speaker 4: thirty centimeter sections in front of you and then move on.

1307
01:10:48,935 --> 01:10:52,175
Speaker 4: All those stop start marks will be really apparent when

1308
01:10:52,175 --> 01:10:56,055
Speaker 4: you finished, and it's going to look not great. So

1309
01:10:56,295 --> 01:10:58,175
Speaker 4: is the only whole.

1310
01:10:57,695 --> 01:11:01,095
Speaker 3: Length to avoid those stop start marks literally going from

1311
01:11:01,135 --> 01:11:04,415
Speaker 3: one end of the board to the other, or working.

1312
01:11:04,295 --> 01:11:07,535
Speaker 4: Very quickly and using some and like hot weather orlatives

1313
01:11:07,575 --> 01:11:10,135
Speaker 4: to help keep the wet edge and slow down the

1314
01:11:10,215 --> 01:11:12,815
Speaker 4: dry time. Yeah, Obviously this time of the year, the

1315
01:11:13,015 --> 01:11:15,935
Speaker 4: surface is hot and the air temperature is hot, and

1316
01:11:16,615 --> 01:11:18,735
Speaker 4: to theay it doesn't seem like there's much air movement,

1317
01:11:18,975 --> 01:11:20,735
Speaker 4: so everything's going to drive pretty quickly.

1318
01:11:20,935 --> 01:11:29,335
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, No, it's always you know, because typically you're

1319
01:11:29,335 --> 01:11:32,535
Speaker 3: thinking like often if we're working off mobile scaffold, for example,

1320
01:11:32,655 --> 01:11:35,095
Speaker 3: we might have two and a half or three meters

1321
01:11:35,375 --> 01:11:38,375
Speaker 3: of working platform and then we'll move that to the

1322
01:11:38,455 --> 01:11:41,255
Speaker 3: next area. So in that time, you know, if you've

1323
01:11:41,295 --> 01:11:43,895
Speaker 3: got those boards that run above the window below the windows.

1324
01:11:43,935 --> 01:11:47,375
Speaker 3: In some cases you're going to come down, you're going

1325
01:11:47,415 --> 01:11:49,295
Speaker 3: to re establish the scaffold, and you're going to go

1326
01:11:49,375 --> 01:11:51,815
Speaker 3: back up. So you're going to have that cold joining,

1327
01:11:51,895 --> 01:11:52,215
Speaker 3: aren't you.

1328
01:11:54,295 --> 01:12:01,175
Speaker 4: Potentially it's on summerreas it's ideal to have more than

1329
01:12:01,215 --> 01:12:06,415
Speaker 4: one person working. Sometimes that can't isn't the case, and

1330
01:12:07,055 --> 01:12:09,055
Speaker 4: you've just got to kind of plan around it and

1331
01:12:09,255 --> 01:12:11,975
Speaker 4: try and stick to those areas and move as quickly

1332
01:12:11,975 --> 01:12:17,175
Speaker 4: as you can to stop that MRK being really apparent.

1333
01:12:18,335 --> 01:12:22,215
Speaker 4: Sometimes it kind of is what it is, but kind

1334
01:12:22,255 --> 01:12:24,415
Speaker 4: of look at the job you're about to do and

1335
01:12:24,935 --> 01:12:27,455
Speaker 4: plan it, think what you can reach and see if

1336
01:12:27,495 --> 01:12:31,095
Speaker 4: there's a way around, sort of just stopping in the

1337
01:12:31,135 --> 01:12:34,615
Speaker 4: middle of the wall and then starting again perfect. Sometimes

1338
01:12:34,655 --> 01:12:37,535
Speaker 4: there will be brilliant brilliant.

1339
01:12:37,215 --> 01:12:40,735
Speaker 3: Hey, look, as always, I really appreciate your expertise and

1340
01:12:41,335 --> 01:12:44,175
Speaker 3: I love to throw out the occasional clearly question that

1341
01:12:44,735 --> 01:12:48,095
Speaker 3: it's always bettered back so to you and yours are

1342
01:12:48,295 --> 01:12:52,095
Speaker 3: very merry Christmas again, thanks for your advice and looking

1343
01:12:52,135 --> 01:12:53,615
Speaker 3: forward to working with you again next year.

1344
01:12:54,775 --> 01:12:55,775
Speaker 4: Have a great Christmas and you.

1345
01:12:55,815 --> 01:13:00,375
Speaker 3: Too, take care all very big and Jay and Bryce

1346
01:13:00,455 --> 01:13:02,935
Speaker 3: will both be back with us as the expert and

1347
01:13:03,015 --> 01:13:07,695
Speaker 3: their expert segments in twenty twenty five. Righty oh, we'll

1348
01:13:07,735 --> 01:13:09,695
Speaker 3: take a short break. We're back to your call. So

1349
01:13:09,695 --> 01:13:12,375
Speaker 3: if you've got a question of a building nature, eight

1350
01:13:12,495 --> 01:13:14,735
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

1351
01:13:14,815 --> 01:13:17,055
Speaker 3: It is seven forty two here at News Talks. He'd

1352
01:13:17,095 --> 01:13:20,055
Speaker 3: be taking your calls on all things building in construction.

1353
01:13:20,255 --> 01:13:22,775
Speaker 3: Jay from Razine was with us just a moment ago,

1354
01:13:23,655 --> 01:13:26,455
Speaker 3: and so the opening comment was around, if we are

1355
01:13:26,615 --> 01:13:29,175
Speaker 3: going to be doing jobs around the house, particularly painting,

1356
01:13:30,015 --> 01:13:33,735
Speaker 3: which often involves working at heights, safety has got to

1357
01:13:33,775 --> 01:13:37,095
Speaker 3: be paramount. I bumped into a guy yesterday that I

1358
01:13:37,175 --> 01:13:39,935
Speaker 3: did some business with a few years ago, and a

1359
01:13:40,015 --> 01:13:44,975
Speaker 3: painter that worked with them. We were chatting and he said, oh,

1360
01:13:44,975 --> 01:13:47,935
Speaker 3: and then such and such died And I want to

1361
01:13:47,975 --> 01:13:51,135
Speaker 3: be a little bit cautious around sort of too much detail.

1362
01:13:52,655 --> 01:13:58,655
Speaker 3: Died at work, died after falling from heights. So you

1363
01:13:58,735 --> 01:14:01,375
Speaker 3: know when we talk about being cautious, and I know

1364
01:14:01,535 --> 01:14:04,935
Speaker 3: that often there's so much conversation about health and safety

1365
01:14:04,975 --> 01:14:10,055
Speaker 3: that people can become dismissive of it. But it's incidents

1366
01:14:10,175 --> 01:14:12,855
Speaker 3: like that where you go, actually you know what a

1367
01:14:13,015 --> 01:14:17,975
Speaker 3: moment's in attention in this case caused a loss of life.

1368
01:14:18,095 --> 01:14:21,135
Speaker 3: So you know, when we're saying be careful, there's a

1369
01:14:21,215 --> 01:14:23,735
Speaker 3: reason that I'm saying be careful. Oh eight one hundred

1370
01:14:23,855 --> 01:14:26,135
Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call if you've

1371
01:14:26,255 --> 01:14:30,015
Speaker 3: got a question about building. We can talk about that.

1372
01:14:30,255 --> 01:14:32,735
Speaker 3: And I just in the back of my mind and

1373
01:14:32,855 --> 01:14:37,295
Speaker 3: someone texts through before I mentioned last week about sort

1374
01:14:37,335 --> 01:14:39,935
Speaker 3: of I mean, what do you buy people have got everything?

1375
01:14:39,975 --> 01:14:43,375
Speaker 3: Typically you buy them tools, right or if someone's got

1376
01:14:43,415 --> 01:14:46,175
Speaker 3: lots of tools, chances they don't have everything. And if

1377
01:14:46,495 --> 01:14:49,775
Speaker 3: what's that one thing that they might not have? And

1378
01:14:49,855 --> 01:14:52,415
Speaker 3: I mentioned the Good Rules, which is a New Zealand

1379
01:14:52,495 --> 01:14:57,135
Speaker 3: designed folding ruler, and it's particularly good for working in

1380
01:14:57,175 --> 01:14:59,455
Speaker 3: New Zealand because it's it's set up that it's forty

1381
01:14:59,495 --> 01:15:01,775
Speaker 3: five mil so on and so forth, in the way

1382
01:15:01,815 --> 01:15:03,575
Speaker 3: that it's got a divide or on it all sorts

1383
01:15:03,575 --> 01:15:06,535
Speaker 3: of things. It's pretty nifty. And then I was thinking

1384
01:15:06,575 --> 01:15:10,455
Speaker 3: about we were talking about buying skins. So for years

1385
01:15:10,495 --> 01:15:12,615
Speaker 3: and years and years if you bought cordless tools, and

1386
01:15:12,695 --> 01:15:15,535
Speaker 3: the range of cordless products was quite limited years ago.

1387
01:15:16,295 --> 01:15:20,615
Speaker 3: It's now extensive so you can buy just the skin.

1388
01:15:21,095 --> 01:15:23,415
Speaker 3: You don't have to buy the battery and the charger.

1389
01:15:23,455 --> 01:15:25,855
Speaker 3: If you've got enough batteries and you probably only need

1390
01:15:25,895 --> 01:15:28,855
Speaker 3: two or three charges at most, then you don't need

1391
01:15:28,935 --> 01:15:31,255
Speaker 3: to keep buying charges. So you just buy the skin,

1392
01:15:31,335 --> 01:15:34,455
Speaker 3: which is the bear tool without the battery and without

1393
01:15:34,535 --> 01:15:38,935
Speaker 3: the charger, and that makes it certainly more affordable, extending

1394
01:15:39,015 --> 01:15:41,695
Speaker 3: the range of tools that you've got for the cordless

1395
01:15:41,735 --> 01:15:44,375
Speaker 3: gear that you've got all your batteries. So I was

1396
01:15:44,375 --> 01:15:47,215
Speaker 3: thinking about that and wandering along looking at some of

1397
01:15:47,215 --> 01:15:51,335
Speaker 3: the Ryobi gear where they've got little bluetooth speakers or

1398
01:15:51,415 --> 01:15:55,175
Speaker 3: a fan that you can clamp, or like a little

1399
01:15:55,815 --> 01:15:59,495
Speaker 3: engraving tool or a blower like I was using yesterday.

1400
01:15:59,895 --> 01:16:03,215
Speaker 3: So I cleaned up a piece of furniture, saturated it,

1401
01:16:03,855 --> 01:16:06,175
Speaker 3: which isn't good for furniture typically, but I need it

1402
01:16:06,575 --> 01:16:09,655
Speaker 3: to wash it down thoroughly, and then rather than just

1403
01:16:09,735 --> 01:16:12,215
Speaker 3: let it dry, I just got the Rhovii blower out

1404
01:16:12,655 --> 01:16:16,015
Speaker 3: and stood outside for five minutes and just blue all

1405
01:16:16,055 --> 01:16:17,855
Speaker 3: of the moisture off it to make sure that it

1406
01:16:17,975 --> 01:16:20,855
Speaker 3: was nice and dry again. Those sorts of things, and

1407
01:16:20,935 --> 01:16:22,935
Speaker 3: then the other thing that here you go. Here's My

1408
01:16:23,055 --> 01:16:27,855
Speaker 3: last tip for tools or little things is bit holders. Again,

1409
01:16:27,895 --> 01:16:30,535
Speaker 3: I've kind of always been a bit dismissive about them

1410
01:16:30,735 --> 01:16:33,615
Speaker 3: and wondered about their usefulness. But if you're fossicking around

1411
01:16:33,655 --> 01:16:35,935
Speaker 3: in your apron or around the workshop looking for that

1412
01:16:37,015 --> 01:16:38,655
Speaker 3: you want to swap from a square drive to a

1413
01:16:38,695 --> 01:16:42,055
Speaker 3: possi drive, to a hex or to an impact driver

1414
01:16:42,215 --> 01:16:44,615
Speaker 3: bit or something like that, then you just have a

1415
01:16:44,655 --> 01:16:48,895
Speaker 3: little carabina with a number of holders on them, and

1416
01:16:49,015 --> 01:16:52,335
Speaker 3: you've got your most popular ones on a carabiner attached

1417
01:16:52,375 --> 01:16:54,775
Speaker 3: to your apron or to your belt buckle or something

1418
01:16:54,855 --> 01:16:57,415
Speaker 3: like that, and they're all there. So bit hoolders are

1419
01:16:57,495 --> 01:17:02,255
Speaker 3: another useful little stocking stuffer as well. We will take actually,

1420
01:17:02,375 --> 01:17:05,135
Speaker 3: just on the food grade. You know, we were talking

1421
01:17:05,135 --> 01:17:07,575
Speaker 3: about the remove chopping board. A couple of people have

1422
01:17:07,695 --> 01:17:12,095
Speaker 3: made some really good suggestions. Someone who makes wooden egg

1423
01:17:12,415 --> 01:17:18,335
Speaker 3: rings they use food gray tongue oil, so that's tung oil.

1424
01:17:18,615 --> 01:17:22,255
Speaker 3: Or they recommend walnut oil. Haven't heard of that walnut oil.

1425
01:17:22,335 --> 01:17:27,815
Speaker 3: But follow the complete application. Food grade mineral oil, which

1426
01:17:27,855 --> 01:17:30,615
Speaker 3: is like liquid parafferm, is what you need to seal

1427
01:17:30,695 --> 01:17:33,855
Speaker 3: chopping boards. Cooking oils can go ranse it. Thank you

1428
01:17:33,975 --> 01:17:37,255
Speaker 3: very much for that. That's good info. We're back after

1429
01:17:37,295 --> 01:17:38,935
Speaker 3: the break with Gavin. If you'd like to join us,

1430
01:17:38,975 --> 01:17:41,175
Speaker 3: the lines are open the number eight hundred eighty ten

1431
01:17:41,255 --> 01:17:43,255
Speaker 3: eighty You and News Talks, it'd be the lines are

1432
01:17:43,255 --> 01:17:45,855
Speaker 3: open the number to call eight hundred eighty ten eighty

1433
01:17:46,015 --> 01:17:47,575
Speaker 3: Gaven a very good morning.

1434
01:17:48,855 --> 01:17:53,975
Speaker 14: Good morning to you, Good morning Christmas into you. I've

1435
01:17:54,095 --> 01:17:58,735
Speaker 14: just bought a nineteen nineties house in the last year.

1436
01:18:00,455 --> 01:18:04,815
Speaker 14: It's three stories high, and it's a two story house

1437
01:18:04,895 --> 01:18:05,535
Speaker 14: on top of a.

1438
01:18:07,575 --> 01:18:08,055
Speaker 11: What do you call it?

1439
01:18:08,135 --> 01:18:11,015
Speaker 14: A tandem garage on a sloping hill.

1440
01:18:11,255 --> 01:18:14,775
Speaker 3: Yes, and there's a there's a wall in.

1441
01:18:14,815 --> 01:18:18,535
Speaker 14: The middle floor that I was thinking of removing. Yes,

1442
01:18:19,135 --> 01:18:23,175
Speaker 14: that seems to be not mode bearing, but I was

1443
01:18:23,175 --> 01:18:26,535
Speaker 14: a bit nervous about removing it because of being the

1444
01:18:26,615 --> 01:18:32,735
Speaker 14: middle floor, whether bracing comes into play or anything like that,

1445
01:18:33,535 --> 01:18:35,175
Speaker 14: and I wanted to do the job myself.

1446
01:18:35,815 --> 01:18:43,855
Speaker 3: So okay, okay. So there's there's little little explosions and

1447
01:18:43,935 --> 01:18:49,295
Speaker 3: red flags going off in my head right now. Probably

1448
01:18:49,375 --> 01:18:51,295
Speaker 3: the best thing about the situation is that if it's

1449
01:18:51,295 --> 01:18:55,575
Speaker 3: a nineteen nineties build, council will have a record of

1450
01:18:55,655 --> 01:18:58,135
Speaker 3: the plans, right, so I would I would go to

1451
01:18:58,255 --> 01:18:59,815
Speaker 3: council in the first instance, and.

1452
01:19:00,455 --> 01:19:04,455
Speaker 14: I've seen those. Okay, it's a it's a wall that

1453
01:19:04,815 --> 01:19:07,135
Speaker 14: hasn't had any additional racing put on it.

1454
01:19:07,535 --> 01:19:07,735
Speaker 4: Yep.

1455
01:19:09,055 --> 01:19:13,215
Speaker 14: That's because it's quite a it's about two three meters long.

1456
01:19:14,935 --> 01:19:18,095
Speaker 14: There is a really large wall going in the same

1457
01:19:18,135 --> 01:19:19,575
Speaker 14: direction down the other end of the.

1458
01:19:21,575 --> 01:19:22,135
Speaker 6: So but.

1459
01:19:24,055 --> 01:19:27,855
Speaker 14: It's quite an unusual as Actually this wall is basically

1460
01:19:28,255 --> 01:19:32,535
Speaker 14: dividing the kitchen from the dining room and goes all

1461
01:19:32,575 --> 01:19:34,375
Speaker 14: the way up to the ceiling. There's not actually a

1462
01:19:34,495 --> 01:19:38,615
Speaker 14: door in it's just like a gap yep, from floored ceiling.

1463
01:19:39,255 --> 01:19:41,055
Speaker 14: And I ripped out the carpet when I moved in,

1464
01:19:41,175 --> 01:19:42,855
Speaker 14: and I can see that all the floor joists are

1465
01:19:42,895 --> 01:19:45,055
Speaker 14: going in the same direction as this wall. So I'm

1466
01:19:45,095 --> 01:19:48,415
Speaker 14: assuming it's not load bearing, and I'm so.

1467
01:19:48,495 --> 01:19:50,935
Speaker 3: That the direction of the floor joist is parallel to

1468
01:19:51,055 --> 01:19:53,055
Speaker 3: the wall. Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay.

1469
01:19:54,095 --> 01:19:58,095
Speaker 14: So then because there's no additional bracing on it, does

1470
01:19:58,175 --> 01:20:01,295
Speaker 14: that mean that it is doing some bracing but it

1471
01:20:01,375 --> 01:20:04,415
Speaker 14: doesn't need any additional or or does it mean I

1472
01:20:04,455 --> 01:20:07,855
Speaker 14: can just it doesn't It isn't required for embracing, and

1473
01:20:07,935 --> 01:20:10,215
Speaker 14: therefore I could take it out. So I'm just not

1474
01:20:10,375 --> 01:20:12,495
Speaker 14: sure about the whole brace look scenario.

1475
01:20:12,815 --> 01:20:15,415
Speaker 3: I think in this instance here, if it's not on

1476
01:20:15,535 --> 01:20:18,095
Speaker 3: the plans, if it's not specified, even if it you know,

1477
01:20:18,255 --> 01:20:23,255
Speaker 3: like the most the the lowest form of bracing, and

1478
01:20:23,295 --> 01:20:25,415
Speaker 3: I don't mean that in the pejorative sense, the least

1479
01:20:25,415 --> 01:20:27,695
Speaker 3: amount of bracing in it. So we get from what

1480
01:20:27,815 --> 01:20:30,335
Speaker 3: we call a GS one, so just a jib standard.

1481
01:20:30,495 --> 01:20:33,495
Speaker 3: It's got standard jib on one side and it's fixed off.

1482
01:20:33,975 --> 01:20:37,215
Speaker 3: So let's say it's not even a GS one, then

1483
01:20:37,455 --> 01:20:40,335
Speaker 3: it is likely that it's not load it's not bracing.

1484
01:20:40,495 --> 01:20:42,815
Speaker 3: But there's two things. One is bracing, the other is

1485
01:20:42,975 --> 01:20:45,255
Speaker 3: load bearing. Now I'm going to crash into the news.

1486
01:20:45,375 --> 01:20:47,855
Speaker 3: Can you wait and we'll pack this up straight after

1487
01:20:47,935 --> 01:20:51,975
Speaker 3: the break because we've got news at eight o'clock rightio,

1488
01:20:52,095 --> 01:20:54,175
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the show. Pete wolf Camp's my name.

1489
01:20:54,575 --> 01:20:57,615
Speaker 3: This is the resident builder. On Sunday at around eight thirty,

1490
01:20:57,695 --> 01:20:59,895
Speaker 3: we change gears, jump into the garden with red climb

1491
01:20:59,975 --> 01:21:03,615
Speaker 3: passed from eight thirty. But right now we're talking building.

1492
01:21:03,735 --> 01:21:06,095
Speaker 3: Just before the break before the news, Sport and Weather,

1493
01:21:06,535 --> 01:21:09,415
Speaker 3: we're talking to Gavin about potentially taking a wall out

1494
01:21:09,495 --> 01:21:12,095
Speaker 3: and to be really really honest, as soon as people

1495
01:21:12,135 --> 01:21:14,695
Speaker 3: start talking about taking walls out, you know the little

1496
01:21:14,935 --> 01:21:18,615
Speaker 3: explosions that the red flags go off. So Gavin, just quickly,

1497
01:21:18,935 --> 01:21:22,015
Speaker 3: you've obviously got the plans. It shows that the wall

1498
01:21:22,135 --> 01:21:24,975
Speaker 3: is not a bracing wall. So if you look at

1499
01:21:25,015 --> 01:21:28,175
Speaker 3: the bracing plan on a mid nineties set of drawings,

1500
01:21:28,615 --> 01:21:31,295
Speaker 3: it'll it'll say whether it's a GS or a BLH

1501
01:21:31,495 --> 01:21:33,815
Speaker 3: or whatever it's going to be. So that's not on there.

1502
01:21:35,295 --> 01:21:38,415
Speaker 3: The joists that the wall sits on run parallel to it,

1503
01:21:39,535 --> 01:21:41,975
Speaker 3: they're probably have less concerned than the ones that sit

1504
01:21:42,135 --> 01:21:46,255
Speaker 3: on top of it. So you'd also want to look

1505
01:21:46,295 --> 01:21:49,095
Speaker 3: at the drawings and go, okay, the floor above, do

1506
01:21:49,295 --> 01:21:51,975
Speaker 3: the joyst bear on that wall, in which case it

1507
01:21:52,095 --> 01:21:55,495
Speaker 3: is load bearing because it might be where the Joys's intersect,

1508
01:21:55,575 --> 01:21:58,215
Speaker 3: for example, and that wall is there to provide support.

1509
01:22:01,015 --> 01:22:04,015
Speaker 14: You should be to the end of it's parallel to

1510
01:22:04,135 --> 01:22:08,575
Speaker 14: the end of the stair internal staircase which runs up

1511
01:22:09,455 --> 01:22:12,375
Speaker 14: up the middle. I mean it's flush with the end

1512
01:22:12,455 --> 01:22:15,295
Speaker 14: of the staircase which runs up the middle of the

1513
01:22:15,455 --> 01:22:18,815
Speaker 14: house and seems to be the main the staircase seems

1514
01:22:18,855 --> 01:22:23,175
Speaker 14: to me the main central structural support for the entire house.

1515
01:22:23,655 --> 01:22:25,735
Speaker 3: And that's the wall that you're thinking about taking out.

1516
01:22:26,775 --> 01:22:30,855
Speaker 14: It's it's it's at a right angle to the staircase.

1517
01:22:31,575 --> 01:22:33,495
Speaker 14: There's a gap between the staircase and the.

1518
01:22:33,535 --> 01:22:39,015
Speaker 3: Wall that's hard to I think the most simple response

1519
01:22:39,095 --> 01:22:41,255
Speaker 3: to this is, I think you need to go and

1520
01:22:41,695 --> 01:22:45,375
Speaker 3: go find a designer, an architectural designer, architect who could

1521
01:22:45,415 --> 01:22:49,175
Speaker 3: assess the plans and tell you whether it's critical and

1522
01:22:49,335 --> 01:22:51,775
Speaker 3: how to safely deal with it the other and then

1523
01:22:51,895 --> 01:22:56,375
Speaker 3: I would get some documentation from someone who says, yep,

1524
01:22:56,455 --> 01:22:59,935
Speaker 3: I've assessed the plans and I have determined that it's

1525
01:23:00,135 --> 01:23:04,095
Speaker 3: it's not either load bearing or provides bracing, and therefore

1526
01:23:04,175 --> 01:23:06,095
Speaker 3: you could remove it. Because let's say when you go

1527
01:23:06,175 --> 01:23:08,255
Speaker 3: to sell the house, someone looks at the floor plan

1528
01:23:09,095 --> 01:23:11,855
Speaker 3: that's on file, sees that a wall has been removed,

1529
01:23:11,935 --> 01:23:13,895
Speaker 3: and that will then ring alarm bell.

1530
01:23:14,055 --> 01:23:19,695
Speaker 14: So that's the two things. One house, integrity to cover myself.

1531
01:23:19,535 --> 01:23:23,775
Speaker 3: Legally absolutely, and and you know, getting an LBP to

1532
01:23:24,335 --> 01:23:26,735
Speaker 3: do the work probably wouldn't be a bad thing either,

1533
01:23:27,495 --> 01:23:29,935
Speaker 3: or at least to supervise it just in case. You know,

1534
01:23:30,055 --> 01:23:32,415
Speaker 3: do you know whether there are services, for example, that

1535
01:23:32,535 --> 01:23:36,015
Speaker 3: run through that wall, So if there's PowerPoint there might

1536
01:23:36,095 --> 01:23:38,135
Speaker 3: be water mains or you.

1537
01:23:38,135 --> 01:23:41,775
Speaker 14: Know, there's a fridge and a pantry up against it

1538
01:23:42,055 --> 01:23:44,735
Speaker 14: at the moment the power but there's definitely no.

1539
01:23:45,055 --> 01:23:49,615
Speaker 3: No water is on the other side. Okay, But either way,

1540
01:23:49,815 --> 01:23:52,575
Speaker 3: I think you know, take it to someone who suitably qualified,

1541
01:23:52,655 --> 01:23:57,095
Speaker 3: so either an engineer, architect architectural designer. Have them determined

1542
01:23:57,095 --> 01:23:59,695
Speaker 3: whether or not that wall is offering up bracing or

1543
01:24:00,375 --> 01:24:03,255
Speaker 3: load bearing, and then if it's not, then yeah, go ahead,

1544
01:24:03,295 --> 01:24:05,855
Speaker 3: but do the homework first, and do they do like a.

1545
01:24:06,695 --> 01:24:09,335
Speaker 14: A report to counts. Then I lodged that with the

1546
01:24:09,495 --> 01:24:12,815
Speaker 14: council or the or or don't need to do that.

1547
01:24:12,935 --> 01:24:13,495
Speaker 1: I just know.

1548
01:24:14,975 --> 01:24:18,895
Speaker 3: If like you can undertake building work that doesn't need

1549
01:24:18,975 --> 01:24:21,775
Speaker 3: a consent under schedule one of the building acts. But

1550
01:24:21,935 --> 01:24:24,455
Speaker 3: again I think you would want some evidence to say

1551
01:24:24,535 --> 01:24:28,455
Speaker 3: that you get, yeah, you want something in writing, which

1552
01:24:28,535 --> 01:24:30,655
Speaker 3: isn't a problem, and then it just you attach that

1553
01:24:30,975 --> 01:24:34,135
Speaker 3: to your own documentation from the house and should someone

1554
01:24:34,335 --> 01:24:36,935
Speaker 3: ask later on, I don't know that you necessarily have

1555
01:24:37,055 --> 01:24:40,095
Speaker 3: to go to the extent of submitting because the consent's

1556
01:24:40,135 --> 01:24:43,175
Speaker 3: being signed off, right, So if there's not like.

1557
01:24:43,215 --> 01:24:46,295
Speaker 14: An official form or any you know, when you get

1558
01:24:47,615 --> 01:24:51,935
Speaker 14: I've used the engineer to get a code yep, code

1559
01:24:52,695 --> 01:24:54,695
Speaker 14: done for something, and he filled out some sort of

1560
01:24:54,735 --> 01:24:58,335
Speaker 14: form and attached it to my consent to that job.

1561
01:24:58,535 --> 01:25:02,215
Speaker 14: But obviously that this is not consent job.

1562
01:25:02,415 --> 01:25:08,095
Speaker 3: So no, if it's not a consent job, I mean they.

1563
01:25:08,055 --> 01:25:10,335
Speaker 14: Would know what happens. They must do the stuff all

1564
01:25:10,335 --> 01:25:10,775
Speaker 14: the tropes.

1565
01:25:10,975 --> 01:25:14,055
Speaker 3: Yeah, actually get the professional advice. Go from there. Good

1566
01:25:14,135 --> 01:25:16,975
Speaker 3: luck with it, enjoy, take care all the best mate.

1567
01:25:17,015 --> 01:25:19,015
Speaker 3: By by then, oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty

1568
01:25:19,055 --> 01:25:20,855
Speaker 3: is number to call. It's eleven minutes after eight. We're

1569
01:25:20,855 --> 01:25:26,455
Speaker 3: talking building through to eight point thirty. We have been talking.

1570
01:25:26,655 --> 01:25:29,335
Speaker 3: Two things we've been talking about. One is sort of

1571
01:25:29,375 --> 01:25:31,575
Speaker 3: like if you've made a chopping board, do you oil

1572
01:25:31,655 --> 01:25:34,855
Speaker 3: it or put some preserved. Someone's going, hey, look, surely

1573
01:25:34,935 --> 01:25:37,375
Speaker 3: sealing a remove chopping board. This is someone who's making

1574
01:25:37,415 --> 01:25:41,295
Speaker 3: their own chopping board, which coincidentally happens to be one

1575
01:25:41,335 --> 01:25:45,375
Speaker 3: of my little projects at the moment as well. Having

1576
01:25:46,735 --> 01:25:49,175
Speaker 3: surely sealing a remove chopping board defeats the whole point

1577
01:25:49,215 --> 01:25:51,055
Speaker 3: of having a wooden board. Keep it natural, they work

1578
01:25:51,095 --> 01:25:55,415
Speaker 3: better and they'll stay clean. Yeah, there are inherent antibacterial

1579
01:25:56,015 --> 01:25:59,575
Speaker 3: elements to timber, and so There's been a long running

1580
01:25:59,655 --> 01:26:02,495
Speaker 3: argument as to whether or not you know, the plastic

1581
01:26:02,575 --> 01:26:05,135
Speaker 3: chopping boards that probably most of us have, are they

1582
01:26:06,455 --> 01:26:09,935
Speaker 3: more sanitary, Are they from a food safety point of

1583
01:26:10,015 --> 01:26:14,655
Speaker 3: view better? Or timber chopping boards better? And then if

1584
01:26:14,655 --> 01:26:16,455
Speaker 3: you've got a timber chopping board and then you then

1585
01:26:16,575 --> 01:26:20,375
Speaker 3: treat it, does that introduce bacteria? Does it hold bacteria?

1586
01:26:20,495 --> 01:26:22,775
Speaker 3: So I'll be actually flip me a text if you've

1587
01:26:22,775 --> 01:26:26,295
Speaker 3: got a particular opinion on that. So keeping it natural

1588
01:26:26,415 --> 01:26:28,495
Speaker 3: they will work better and stay clean. Other people have

1589
01:26:28,615 --> 01:26:34,295
Speaker 3: suggested particular types of mineral oil, and then also some

1590
01:26:34,495 --> 01:26:36,975
Speaker 3: tongue oil or some walnut oil, or perhaps you do

1591
01:26:37,095 --> 01:26:39,455
Speaker 3: nothing at all. What's the name of that magic ruler

1592
01:26:39,495 --> 01:26:42,615
Speaker 3: for someone who is everything? There's nothing magic about it.

1593
01:26:42,695 --> 01:26:47,055
Speaker 3: It's just good technology, good design, good rule. So if

1594
01:26:47,095 --> 01:26:49,655
Speaker 3: you just look up good rule, what I like is

1595
01:26:49,695 --> 01:26:52,735
Speaker 3: it's a keywi idea. There's someone who sat down thought

1596
01:26:52,735 --> 01:26:55,455
Speaker 3: about what a folding ruler needs to do in New

1597
01:26:55,535 --> 01:26:59,775
Speaker 3: Zealand and made one, which is awesome. So good rule

1598
01:26:59,935 --> 01:27:01,735
Speaker 3: is the one that I've been talking about. I've also

1599
01:27:01,775 --> 01:27:04,695
Speaker 3: been talking about bittholders. This is stocking stuff as right,

1600
01:27:05,775 --> 01:27:09,455
Speaker 3: and especially if you've got Ryobi gear. You can buy skins.

1601
01:27:09,495 --> 01:27:11,495
Speaker 3: You can just buy a tool without having to buy

1602
01:27:11,575 --> 01:27:14,415
Speaker 3: a battery or and a charger. That's a good little

1603
01:27:14,455 --> 01:27:18,975
Speaker 3: stocking stuffer as well, if you're onto the Rhiobi gear.

1604
01:27:19,455 --> 01:27:21,655
Speaker 3: Like I've got a fan that I hang up, and

1605
01:27:21,895 --> 01:27:25,095
Speaker 3: it's a cordless one, just a little rotating fan that

1606
01:27:25,215 --> 01:27:27,855
Speaker 3: I hang up in the workshop. And when I'm in

1607
01:27:27,895 --> 01:27:30,095
Speaker 3: there yesterday and it's reasonably warm and i've blocked up

1608
01:27:30,175 --> 01:27:32,255
Speaker 3: or well, I didn't have any windows anyway, I would

1609
01:27:32,255 --> 01:27:33,815
Speaker 3: have blocked them up so I can get more shelving.

1610
01:27:33,895 --> 01:27:36,575
Speaker 3: And regardless, it gets a bit stuffy in there. So

1611
01:27:36,615 --> 01:27:38,095
Speaker 3: I just have a little fan that hangs on the

1612
01:27:38,175 --> 01:27:40,775
Speaker 3: ceiling and while I'm working, it's just taken away in

1613
01:27:40,815 --> 01:27:43,335
Speaker 3: the background. Great, Oh eight hundred and eighty ten, A

1614
01:27:43,455 --> 01:27:45,175
Speaker 3: will take a break. We'll talk to Sherry in just

1615
01:27:45,215 --> 01:27:48,335
Speaker 3: a moment. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the

1616
01:27:48,775 --> 01:27:53,015
Speaker 3: number to call, just quickly on the chopping board. Thing

1617
01:27:53,135 --> 01:27:56,895
Speaker 3: is interesting miner oil. Never use any vegetable oil because

1618
01:27:56,935 --> 01:27:59,455
Speaker 3: it can become rancid, or it will become rancid and

1619
01:27:59,535 --> 01:28:03,015
Speaker 3: then someone else's taxed through. Butcher's blocks, massive wooden blocks

1620
01:28:03,055 --> 01:28:05,895
Speaker 3: in their shops. When the shops such as they are

1621
01:28:05,935 --> 01:28:09,175
Speaker 3: exuit that nobody died, they shaved them regularly. Maybe that's

1622
01:28:09,215 --> 01:28:11,135
Speaker 3: the key to it, is give them a good scrape

1623
01:28:11,135 --> 01:28:14,575
Speaker 3: from time to time. Apparently there are bees wax safe,

1624
01:28:15,055 --> 01:28:20,935
Speaker 3: food safe finishes that you can use. I haven't even

1625
01:28:21,015 --> 01:28:23,255
Speaker 3: started making the chopping board, but it's an idea that

1626
01:28:24,135 --> 01:28:26,375
Speaker 3: wandered into my mind the other day. And I've got

1627
01:28:26,415 --> 01:28:28,615
Speaker 3: some timber that I'd like to use up and I'm like, hmm,

1628
01:28:30,335 --> 01:28:33,575
Speaker 3: never made a chopping build before. Might have a crack

1629
01:28:33,615 --> 01:28:36,935
Speaker 3: at that. Oh, eight hundred eighty eighty is the number

1630
01:28:36,975 --> 01:28:40,015
Speaker 3: to call. Sherry A very good morning to you. How

1631
01:28:40,055 --> 01:28:40,735
Speaker 3: are you this morning?

1632
01:28:41,415 --> 01:28:41,575
Speaker 4: Good?

1633
01:28:41,615 --> 01:28:41,775
Speaker 14: Good?

1634
01:28:41,815 --> 01:28:45,255
Speaker 11: Thank you good. The question I have it's a bit

1635
01:28:45,255 --> 01:28:48,335
Speaker 11: of a strange question, maybe for a builder, but it's

1636
01:28:49,095 --> 01:28:52,495
Speaker 11: regarding fixing. This is a brand new build and the

1637
01:28:52,575 --> 01:28:57,335
Speaker 11: plumber has fixed both toilets and either bathrooms. Rather than

1638
01:28:57,375 --> 01:28:59,815
Speaker 11: putting a screw through the two holes in the base

1639
01:28:59,975 --> 01:29:02,615
Speaker 11: of the toilet bowls, he's just filled those up nicely

1640
01:29:02,695 --> 01:29:06,335
Speaker 11: with silicone. And I said, he's siliconed around the the

1641
01:29:07,095 --> 01:29:09,855
Speaker 11: base of the bowl, quite quite a wide margin of

1642
01:29:09,935 --> 01:29:12,215
Speaker 11: silicone to hold the bowl there. But he hasn't put

1643
01:29:12,255 --> 01:29:14,175
Speaker 11: any screws and is that normal?

1644
01:29:15,935 --> 01:29:18,775
Speaker 3: Before I answer that, I suspect that up and down

1645
01:29:18,815 --> 01:29:21,455
Speaker 3: the country, if there are plumbers listing, they'll be standing

1646
01:29:21,535 --> 01:29:25,735
Speaker 3: by going don't ask a bloody chippy about plumbing questions.

1647
01:29:28,415 --> 01:29:30,335
Speaker 3: I guess the screw holes are there for a reason,

1648
01:29:30,575 --> 01:29:34,175
Speaker 3: right to secure them the pan to the ground, saying

1649
01:29:34,375 --> 01:29:40,775
Speaker 3: that pans typically don't move around a lot. So you know,

1650
01:29:41,215 --> 01:29:45,015
Speaker 3: a decent bead of sealant well applied and the right

1651
01:29:45,095 --> 01:29:48,695
Speaker 3: type of sealant will probably keep the bowl in place.

1652
01:29:50,735 --> 01:29:53,455
Speaker 3: And yes, the advantage of that is that you know,

1653
01:29:53,495 --> 01:29:56,135
Speaker 3: because especially if it's on a tiled floor, for example,

1654
01:29:57,335 --> 01:30:00,095
Speaker 3: there is always a small risk that you could crack

1655
01:30:00,175 --> 01:30:02,695
Speaker 3: a toll while you're drilling through it or screwing into it.

1656
01:30:04,975 --> 01:30:07,975
Speaker 3: Maybe concerns around the water proofing, you know, because if

1657
01:30:08,055 --> 01:30:11,615
Speaker 3: it's and then it's waterproofed underneath, and then you go

1658
01:30:11,735 --> 01:30:15,175
Speaker 3: and put a screw through into the floor. And is

1659
01:30:15,255 --> 01:30:17,055
Speaker 3: the floor a concrete floor, a timber.

1660
01:30:16,855 --> 01:30:20,575
Speaker 11: Floor, it's a concrete floor, is a concrete floor. But

1661
01:30:21,095 --> 01:30:23,415
Speaker 11: what I wondered was if the plumber had done that

1662
01:30:23,655 --> 01:30:28,295
Speaker 11: to avoid maybe piercing the underfloor. Heating pipes are.

1663
01:30:30,215 --> 01:30:32,935
Speaker 3: Okay, so you've got actually hydronic systems, so you've got

1664
01:30:33,015 --> 01:30:45,735
Speaker 3: water pipes, the electric pipes electric. Ideally, I wouldn't have.

1665
01:30:45,695 --> 01:30:48,135
Speaker 11: Imagined I put the pipe that put the pipes near

1666
01:30:48,215 --> 01:30:49,735
Speaker 11: the toilet. They would have sort of avoid that.

1667
01:30:51,255 --> 01:30:54,535
Speaker 3: So typically when you're doing an under tile so above

1668
01:30:54,615 --> 01:30:58,695
Speaker 3: floor under tile electric heating system, you tend to, you know,

1669
01:30:58,855 --> 01:31:01,935
Speaker 3: before the people come to do it, you mark out

1670
01:31:02,015 --> 01:31:07,695
Speaker 3: where things like basins and baths and toilets go, mark

1671
01:31:07,775 --> 01:31:09,695
Speaker 3: those on the floor, and then they tend to stay

1672
01:31:09,735 --> 01:31:13,055
Speaker 3: away from them. Ideally, you actually want to be reasonably

1673
01:31:13,175 --> 01:31:15,535
Speaker 3: close to where your feet are when you're on the toilet,

1674
01:31:15,575 --> 01:31:17,335
Speaker 3: because you want those to be warmed. That's the whole

1675
01:31:17,335 --> 01:31:21,855
Speaker 3: point of having undertill heating. Yes, and be like me

1676
01:31:22,055 --> 01:31:24,215
Speaker 3: twenty years ago where I thought I'll save myself a

1677
01:31:24,295 --> 01:31:26,615
Speaker 3: bit of money and not do the half a meter

1678
01:31:26,855 --> 01:31:30,695
Speaker 3: just inside the door. Right, that's by the by, But

1679
01:31:30,775 --> 01:31:35,775
Speaker 3: that's a decision that I regret every winter. Right, And look,

1680
01:31:36,415 --> 01:31:40,655
Speaker 3: I'm happy for plumbers to criticize me, but I suspect

1681
01:31:40,735 --> 01:31:44,055
Speaker 3: in this instance it's probably not going to have any

1682
01:31:44,175 --> 01:31:45,135
Speaker 3: negative impact.

1683
01:31:45,295 --> 01:31:47,855
Speaker 11: Right, So oh okay, just as long as I'm going

1684
01:31:47,895 --> 01:31:50,055
Speaker 11: to start moving around or something and shifting around with

1685
01:31:50,135 --> 01:31:52,175
Speaker 11: a silicone the only silicone holding.

1686
01:31:51,975 --> 01:31:54,535
Speaker 3: It all right now, texts have already come in. Most

1687
01:31:54,615 --> 01:31:57,215
Speaker 3: toilets aren't screwed to the floor. Pete Yes, silicon is

1688
01:31:57,335 --> 01:32:00,895
Speaker 3: normal and the best method for securing toilet pans also

1689
01:32:00,975 --> 01:32:04,655
Speaker 3: avoids a lot of problems. So I think it's probably okay.

1690
01:32:05,255 --> 01:32:10,735
Speaker 11: Fantastic, very much pleasure, all this with a new house.

1691
