<v Speaker 2>one eight seven three. If you're doing some stuff around

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:34.159

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 2>next or where to go, We'll tell you where to go.

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Simon sitting next to me, how are you doing?

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 3>Good?

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 2>May yourself very well? Indeed, that's good. We're talking about

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.279
<v Speaker 2>fillers today. Yes, and I had a jip rock wall

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>I had to repair and gosh, I'm hopeless of that.

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 2>I am just hopeless. I put too much filler in.

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm frightened to stand it in case I strip it

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 2>all out. I'm just hopeless. But does it come down

0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 2>to the right filler?

0:00:58.480 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 4>Look it does?

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 5>I mean, there's a lot of differ from fillers and

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 5>making sure you use the correct one.

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 4>For your job.

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 5>But you know, like you just said, I come across

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 5>so many people doing it that put too much filler one,

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.320
<v Speaker 5>so they're wasting product. They're also then have to send

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.320
<v Speaker 5>all that product back, so they're just taking way much

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.559
<v Speaker 5>too much time. They're going to cause too much dust.

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 5>So if you are filling nail holes chip rock areas,

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.039
<v Speaker 5>two tight skims, you know, just put enough filler on

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 5>that you need without going too much.

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.960
<v Speaker 4>We had six thousand nail.

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 3>Holes to fill this week.

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I calculated it by measuring one row and then

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.119
<v Speaker 5>it worked out. So we had a roughly roughly about

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 5>six thousand nail holes to fill this week.

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 4>You've got the you know, the the chippies there with.

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 3>Their nail guns going going berserk.

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 5>It's not like the days with the old hammer where

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 5>they don't want to hammer too many in there.

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 3>When the guns come back back back back, Yeah, painter's nightmare.

0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 2>So escape skim.

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 5>So we're you a filler and it was a gloss filler,

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 5>so it's designed for.

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Small hole loss filler.

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so it sort of stops too much bleeding through

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 5>the paint sort of things.

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>It's something you mix up.

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:14.679
<v Speaker 4>No, no, it comes in a container.

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.799
<v Speaker 5>It's a polypiller product we used, and it's it's a

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 5>great product.

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 4>It's designed for water.

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 5>You know, water outside, use it inside as well. Try

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 5>as fast. But the thing is, I said to the guys,

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 5>make sure you do a really tight skim. We use

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.079
<v Speaker 5>a flexible blade. Make sure you do a tight skim

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 5>because there's going to be less sanding. I made a

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:40.359
<v Speaker 5>plastic blade, steel blade, just really flexible one, and I said,

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 5>virtually fill the hole and then just wipe all excess off.

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 5>It's going to save us a lot of work of sandy,

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 5>even though we're using sanders to do the job. But

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 5>you know, it's just going to it's just going to

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 5>take a lot less time when it comes down to

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 5>sort of fixing it. And I thought it'd be a

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 5>really good time to just explain to people with that

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 5>because i've you know, even the guy on the job.

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 5>The carpenters were doing a bit of filling and he

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 5>said to the carpenters, mate, leave that to the painters

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 5>with you stop right now because where they did fill

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 5>was looking pretty ugly.

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 2>So I end up with not quite well, a mound

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 2>that's clearly visible off the wall, and I sand it

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 2>and sand it and get smooth, and then I painted

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 2>and it's still it's still prominent. The idea is to

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 2>not have that prominence and meant to look like the wall.

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 5>You're better off putting multiple coats of filler on right, right,

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 5>and thinner coats.

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 4>You think about that too.

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 5>It's going to dry faster being a thinner coats and fill,

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 5>it's not going to shrink. Sometimes if you put too

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 5>much fill on, they can then when they when they're drying,

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 5>they'll shrink and they'll actually crack. So, yeah, you're better

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 5>off multiple coats, drying faster and less sanding. Yeah, much

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 5>better job.

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Just don't want to let Mitch know we're not talking

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 2>about the filler that your well as you refer to her,

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 2>your ex wife might have used. This is filling.

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 3>This is for timber and jip rock, not for facial products.

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Now, dare you turn this show into that? Steve? How

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>can we help you?

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 6>Well, Good morning Simon, and good morning. Look a wonderful

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 6>segment you've got here, and thank you for taking my call.

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 4>Thank you.

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 6>I've got so I have a problem. I've got a

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.720
<v Speaker 6>pool that was used in Pebble Crute and it's got

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.840
<v Speaker 6>a beachfront entryway to it, and on the beach the

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 6>beachfront part under Pebble Crute was there's no chance in

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 6>the world you can slip over there. It wouldn't matter

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 6>how much Graham or whatever was there. I've recoded it

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 6>in the Duels for Pools Glass breeding product and it

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 6>is absolutely beautiful. But it doesn't matter how clean I

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.600
<v Speaker 6>make the beachfront.

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Entryway, it is still slippery as.

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 6>You know what. So and I contacted an Or Glass

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 6>about this. I mean, I've been of I listen to

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 6>this program every week and before you before you're breaking,

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 6>after your return and a North Glass has been the

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 6>greatest thing on earth. But they reply to me to

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 6>the extent of they didn't. They couldn't provide me with

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 6>an answer as to what to do it. So I

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 6>simply dump the water, you know, cleaning the boot front

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.440
<v Speaker 6>entryway and you know it's something with a bit of

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 6>grit on it, so when you're getting out of the pool,

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 6>you don't go bum up. And that's what I'm that's

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.280
<v Speaker 6>the problem because someone could actually really hurt themselves or

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 6>or you know, if someone's there at my place on

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 6>their own. You know, they could bang their head and go.

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 6>They could be the end of them.

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:35.840
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 3>I look, I know all about banging heads because I

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 3>did it this week.

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:41.480
<v Speaker 4>On the concrete.

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 5>So not real good mate, to be honest with you,

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 5>I think that is this area you're talking about, is

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 5>it going to be underwater where you're slipping?

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 6>It's always underwater? Okay, Okay, so it's only a gradual slope, right,

0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 6>But the gradual slope is it can get slippery yep,

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 6>and like and when I walk up with your trab,

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 6>walk up there and you just walk out standing up again?

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 4>So are you saying the pebble crete?

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 2>See I've now got the duels for pool.

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 6>Okay, so the glass booded product, I read to put

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 6>something on top of that product. So you've got a

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 6>bit of bit of purchase when you're trying to get

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 6>out of the pool.

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:25.280
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 5>So what I have done I have painted a few

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.279
<v Speaker 5>swimming pools previously. And when i've painted them, when I've

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 5>done steps, and I learned this from a pool painter.

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.160
<v Speaker 5>We coated the swimming pool and when we did the steps,

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 5>we actually got coarse salt and we dropped the salt

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 5>into the paint while it was wet, and it would

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 5>make little holes in the paint work. And then when

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 5>you filled the swimming pool up, the salt would disappear

0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.240
<v Speaker 5>and leave a grit and leave a little bit.

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 4>Of a rough surface. And it was fantastic. It worked

0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 4>really really well.

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 5>Now, whether you can do something like that with this area,

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 5>you need to put another coat of something down, You

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 5>need some sort of aggregate in there. But whether this

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 5>pulls I don't know the product you've used, but whether

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 5>it's something you can coat on put some of that

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 5>rough salt in it and create a bit of a

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 5>rough area.

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 2>You mean, like rock salt the biggest absolutely.

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 5>So, yeah, some core salt, you know, it sat in

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 5>there and then once you've filled the water up, the

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 5>salt disappeared and left these little.

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 4>Crators And it worked on real, worked one real.

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 5>So I just don't know. Maybe you can send me

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 5>some information via email a little bit more and maybe

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 5>we can discuss it a little bit more.

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Excellent, Steve, stay there, mate, and Kitty will give you

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 2>the way to contact Simon with more information. That's amazing.

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 5>Oh, look the things you learn from trading, you know,

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 5>from other trades that I learned. Yeah, it's just great,

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 5>you know, you get some information on that to do something.

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 7>Good morning, Serena, Oh, good morning, Simon. We have a

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 7>problem with discoloring off.

0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 8>Roof tiles and the riches.

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 7>Need re cementing. Do you have anybody that's reliable? And

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 7>you know, I'm a bit scared. We're you know, we're

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 7>not young. You know, we don't want to just get

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 7>somebody from the paper or what.

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 5>And look, I totally understand where you're coming from. Can

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 5>you tell me what area you're from? What suburb Kelly Kelly. Look,

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't have anybody in Kellyville, the Kellyville area. What

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 5>I can suggest is possibly go to a roofing company,

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 5>somebody that supplies roof tiles. It is roof tiles you're

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 5>dealing with. I guess yes, you know, maybe one of

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 5>the companies, the smaller companies that supply, because they will

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:48.320
<v Speaker 5>supply to tradesmen, right, they will supply the roof tiles.

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.559
<v Speaker 5>And if you go there and say, listen, do you

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 5>do you any one you can recommend, because see they

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.199
<v Speaker 5>get the tilers to come in, they usually have a

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 5>pretty good idea. Who's good, who's not you know who's

0:08:58.880 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 5>a bit dodgy.

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.200
<v Speaker 4>You know what I mean. I've done that myself.

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 5>If I've needed a tradesperson, I'll go into a company.

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 5>And we're not talking about Bunnings. We're talking about, you know,

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 5>a small roofing company and ask them that way.

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and that's sometimes it works.

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Advice. Yeah, I've done that, my soul.

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 5>I've done it with tilers. I've gone to a tile

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 5>shop yeah and said can I have six recommendations?

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you get them.

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:23.319
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely.

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.599
<v Speaker 2>There you go, Serena, best of luck, Thank you for

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 2>your call. It's coming up to thirteen to eleven. We

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:34.080
<v Speaker 2>better say, get at a gill or sorry, Jill, Hi, Jilly, how.

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 4>Good mate yourself?

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Good?

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 9>Good listen. I've seen in the last week some bubbling

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.559
<v Speaker 9>of the paint down the bottom of the wall near

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 9>the skirting board.

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.720
<v Speaker 9>And I just wonder whether I should scrape that back

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 9>and let it breathe or what should I do?

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely I would do that. What's the other side of

0:09:55.040 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 5>that wall? Is it a bathroom or a kitchen? U?

0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Neither.

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:06.079
<v Speaker 9>It's double brick, okay, so it's an outside walls. No, No,

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 9>it's internal. So on the other side I've got. It's

0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.559
<v Speaker 9>kind of in between a bathroom and a bedroom.

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 5>Okay, so the wall, the other side of the wall

0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 5>that you're talking about could be the bathroom.

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 9>Is that what you're saying, could be the bathroom or

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 9>half half, but it's the bathroom door.

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 2>It's not the plumbing.

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah yeah, but there might be some plumbing through there.

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 5>There could be some water issue on the floor getting

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.320
<v Speaker 5>leaking through. I would say that there's an issue in

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:39.200
<v Speaker 5>the bathroom with a waterproof membrane. Somewhere, there's water getting

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 5>into that wall and it's it's actually soaking into the

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 5>double brick and then it's causing the bubble bubbling of

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 5>the paint. So you need to find out what's causing it.

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.320
<v Speaker 5>What I would do is turn all the taps off

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 5>at home and go and look at your water meter.

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.839
<v Speaker 5>That's the first thing to check, because if you've got

0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 5>a leak behind the wall that's not due to tap washer,

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.080
<v Speaker 5>which is possibly that could be a leak behind a wall,

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 5>you know, That's what I'd be checking. And also what

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 5>I find is in showers where the taps are sometimes

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:16.040
<v Speaker 5>where the cover plate is that covers the spindles, water

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.199
<v Speaker 5>can get behind those and get into the holes where

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 5>the tap screw in and it can leak down the

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 5>back of the wall.

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:22.079
<v Speaker 4>So that's another issue.

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Right, how do you you can there is a device

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.559
<v Speaker 2>with which you can measure moisture, isn't there?

0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 8>Is it?

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 2>But do they work?

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely they do.

0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 5>I've got one so they you know, you'll put two

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 5>prongs onto it and it'll give you a percentage of

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 5>how much moisture. But we know there's moisture there because

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 5>there's bubbling paint. Paint doesn't bubble for no reason. It's

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 5>usually moisture that's causing it. So it's a matter of

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 5>now finding why the water is getting in there, whether

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.320
<v Speaker 5>it's a membrane breakdown, a pipe or leaking in from

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 5>somewhere else.

0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, one three one eight seven three to have

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 2>a chat to Simon. We'll take a break back after this.

0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:00.240
<v Speaker 2>It's eleven to eleven, eight to eleven times getting a way.

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:04.240

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 2>South Wales. Is called through Simon Nathaniel, good to chat

<v Speaker 2>should send people that want licensed plumbers.

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:16.560
<v Speaker 6>Mate, Yes, thank you, Luke, thank you, Simon, thank you.

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 10>Important that you use license plumber if you have any

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.560
<v Speaker 10>plumbing issues, and the best way to do that is

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.560
<v Speaker 10>to go to master Plumbers dot com dot au and

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 10>search for find a plumber and in that segment of

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.560
<v Speaker 10>the website you just put your postcode and you'll find

0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 10>a local licensed plumber. All about plumbers are licensed, they've

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 10>got company licenses and they.

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 11>Follow a code of ethnics.

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, excellent, fantastic mate. I really appreciate that. And as

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 5>you said, you know, don't do plumbing yourself. Absolutely you

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.520
<v Speaker 5>need a license plumber. It's not something you're allowed to

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 5>do yourself. Yeah, it is something you have to have

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 5>a plumber to do.

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 2>So thanks Nathaniel. Good to chat mate Bob online. One.

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.440
<v Speaker 2>We have to be quick with callers with apologies. Bob.

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.439
<v Speaker 2>How can we help you, mate?

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:06.680
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I had a branch on the tree fall down

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.960
<v Speaker 11>onto the roof and crack the tile and with all

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 11>the ryme came through and it splended on the ceiling,

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:19.360
<v Speaker 11>came through the insulation bat yep, and there's a big

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 11>stain on the ceiling. I was just wondering do I

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.240
<v Speaker 11>have to replace that or can you as long.

0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 5>As long as there's no bowing to the ceiling, you know,

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 5>as long as it hasn't collapsed at all, and it's

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.680
<v Speaker 5>only a stain itself, you need to put a stained

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 5>ceiler on there. I use something called zinsap bin b

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 5>i N. It's a red and white label, so it's

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 5>a methylated spirits based paint and it will hold back

0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 5>those stains. So that's what you used to hold the

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 5>stain back, and then you can put on a ceiling

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 5>paint over the top.

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.560
<v Speaker 2>All right, best of Like Bob bros. How can we

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 2>help you this morning?

0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 8>Yes, good morning, Simon Luke.

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:56.080
<v Speaker 4>Good one.

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 8>I have very slippery tiles in both my bathrooms and

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 8>here's a rubber mass in the show. But I'm still

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 8>terrified at going to fall. Is there anything I can

0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 8>put on the tiles other than ripping them up that

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.199
<v Speaker 8>would make them less slippery?

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:13.120
<v Speaker 5>Look, you can try a product called d T a

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 5>anti slip, available at a tile shops sometimes at Bunnings

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 5>or might a ten might carry it as well. So

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 5>it's the three letters d T a anti slip. And

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 5>what you do is you actually put that onto the surface,

0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 5>let it sit for fifteen minutes. And it microscopically etches

0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.560
<v Speaker 5>the surface of your tiles. It says in the directions

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 5>to do an inconspicuous area. So if you've got a

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 5>spare tile, first try it out, okay, before you go

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:41.600
<v Speaker 5>doing the whole bathroom.

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So dta anti slip yep Ross. I've got the

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 2>same problem in Feares and I'll be doing that in

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 2>the next week. And thank you so much for calling, Margaret.

0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Don't hang up to stay there. I'm sure Simon'll chat

0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.800
<v Speaker 2>to you briefly on the way out. Good to see you, mate,

0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Good to see you mate. I'm glad you survived the

0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 2>four you told us about that. People got to be careful,

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 2>don't Well.

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 5>Look, I've contacted the ladder company. I found a little

0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.280
<v Speaker 5>bit of a designed faulge in the ladder.

0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 4>Which I think needs to be changed. Well, see what happens.

0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 2>We'll maybe talk about this next week. See you mate.

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Thanks great stuff, Thank you Simon Stevenson
