That says, Oops, your garage isn't permitted, 170 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 4: so we won't approve your electrical panel upgrade, and you 171 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 4: gotta give us a new framing plan for your garage. 172 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 4: My question is I can't get power turned on because 173 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 4: I don't have a permit supposedly, even though the county 174 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 4: is known about it for fifty years. So I'm wondering 175 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 4: if you have some thoughts. 176 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: Okay, so as far as you know, there was a permit, 177 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: like when you bought the place, it was shown as permit. 178 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: I'm confused. I mean, is this is this a clerical 179 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: error on the part of the county versus the city, 180 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: or have we just discovered that nobody actually has any 181 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: despite whatever has been said, nobody has any records about 182 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: the garage being permitted. 183 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, even though the county has on the Residential Building 184 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 4: Record Sanmarandino County, they show my garage with the exact 185 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 4: dimensions and locate on the property, but it doesn't show 186 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 4: a specific permit for the garage. Shows the permit for 187 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 4: the house and remodeling the house, but it doesn't show 188 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 4: a specific permit. I had an old timer tell me 189 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 4: that in nineteen fifty nine, when this place was built, 190 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,719 Speaker 4: they didn't require a garage permit. But I'm getting kind 191 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 4: of I'm just confused, and I don't want to get 192 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 4: in a big fight with the city, but they're killing 193 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 4: me with these requirements. 194 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I feel you, especially now you've committed to 195 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: an electrical panel upgrade and so on. So let me 196 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: ask you, Dave, what condition is the garage in. Is 197 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: it in good shape? 198 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's in good shape. Oddly enough, when this was built, 199 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 4: the studs, the wall studs, the framing is turned sideways 200 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 4: if you follow me, so instead of it's normal framing Yeah, 201 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 4: huh yeah, But I mean the roof is in great shape, 202 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 4: the slab's good, you know, the walls are good. But 203 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 4: they want they want to complete new new framing plan 204 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 4: or I could demolish it, which I really don't want 205 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 4: to do. 206 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: Right, Okay, So when you say they want a complete 207 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: new framing plan, have you been to the city. Have 208 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: you talked I mean, I know the you talked to 209 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: an inspector who was out there, But have you been 210 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: down to the city and asked them those specific questions, Hey, 211 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: what do I need? And they've said they need they 212 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: need a new Have you not had that conversation yet? 213 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 4: No, I have, And they sent me down the proverbial 214 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 4: bureaucratic chase that number one. They wanted a patent easement 215 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 4: and said that this property was not subdividable blah blah blah, 216 00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 4: and that took me a year to straighten out with 217 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 4: the title company. So it's just they're not they're not being. 218 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 5: Friendly. 219 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 4: It's just like a one little roadbacked block after another 220 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 4: with appointments and paperwork and stuff. And I'm just wondering 221 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 4: if you have any thoughts about that old Manta. Everybody 222 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 4: asked about being grandfathered. But I don't know if I 223 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 4: have any luck here. 224 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so yeah, yeah, So here's the city. 225 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 4: The city came along after this, after all this was done. 226 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 4: The city is forty is thirty years old, and it's 227 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 4: like fifty sixty year old stuff. 228 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: We're talking exactly. The city is younger than your garage. Yes, yeah, 229 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. Well, you know, I mean, 230 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to sound trite, because I 231 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: know what a hassle this kind of thing is. In fact, 232 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: we were just we just finished up helping out a client, 233 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: a former client, still a client, they're all clients. But 234 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: we just finished up helping out a client who's in 235 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: Studio City, who's got a house that was built in 236 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: nineteen thirty five, and they ran into they wanted to 237 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: make some changes to the garage, and all of a sudden, 238 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: the city inspector was like, hey, it's sitting too close 239 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: to the property line. But you know, and like, hey, 240 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: it was built in nineteen thirty five. Man, every house 241 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: in the neighborhood, so yeah, it is. It can be 242 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: frustrating the problem is that there's no universal rule or 243 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: law about it. There's no overriding factor when you hear 244 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: things like well, hopefully they can grandfather it in because 245 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: it's been there's been there longer than the city has. 246 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: All of these are possibilities, but there's no there's no 247 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: guarantee about it, unfortunately. So the best thing that you 248 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: can do is bake some cookies. Take them down. Don't 249 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: bring them a flat screen TV. They'll arrest you for 250 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: bribing public official. But you can bake some cookies. Bring 251 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: it down, and say, listen, all I wanted was to 252 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: change out my electrical panel. The garage has been there 253 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: longer than this city has been there. Please tell me 254 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: the simplest things I can do. I'm not here to 255 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: make trouble. I am here to just move forward with 256 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: my life in the simplest way possible.

Hey, I've got a 316 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 2: question in regards to my back patio. It's about twenty 317 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 2: twenty five feet long by about fifteen feet wide, and 318 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 2: the tree that was near it has raised a little 319 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 2: bit and a little bit of it's sunk and it's 320 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 2: not horrible. But I was contemplating I'm rather going to like, 321 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 2: you know, a big box store and renting. I understand 322 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 2: you can rent grinders. I'm pretty handy, so you know, 323 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 2: doing it probably wouldn't be that hard. But rather I 324 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 2: should grind it and then put some I don't know 325 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 2: about self leveling cement and that you know style stuff, 326 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 2: or if I should just rip it out and start 327 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 2: fresh and you know, compact the ground like you should 328 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 2: and go from there. What are your thoughts? 329 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: Okay, my thoughts, so we yeah, you know what. I 330 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: always hesitate to spend people's money, I really do, but 331 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: I also want to spend your money the right way. 332 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: So my thoughts are just straight out. I'll give you 333 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: the uh. You know, we'll get to the end of 334 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: the story first. If it were me, and I've got, 335 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: you know, some some sagging in one plight, you know, 336 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: some sinking in one spot and some lifting maybe because 337 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: of tree reachs or whatever. It's starting to crack and 338 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: starting to be a problem. I I am thinking about 339 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 1: pulling it out. I'm thinking about pulling it out and 340 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: starting over. And I'll tell you why, because I have yet, 341 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: in all of my days, and there have been more 342 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: days than I care to mention, in a all of 343 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: my days, I have yet to find a resurfaced patio 344 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: that has held up and not just caused you more 345 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: headaches down the road. Sure, day, one week, one month one, 346 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: maybe even year one, it's all fine, but we haven't 347 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: actually resolved the problem. And self leveling self leveling concrete 348 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: is something you know, and I don't care what anybody 349 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,479 Speaker 1: else says. Self leveling concrete is something that I reserve 350 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: for interior areas where we've got to control leveling problems 351 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: inside a house. Outside, there's just too much moisture. There's 352 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: too much moisture that crawls up inside that patio slab 353 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: and once to get out, and believe me, hydrostatic pressure. 354 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: This is the thing that is the greatest fear of 355 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: any concrete workoutside. Once moisture is inside a stone sponge 356 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: like your concrete patio is, then it's gonna want to 357 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: get out, and it's gonna get out by pushing its 358 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: way out from behind the self leveling, which could cause delamination, 359 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: and it could cause cracking and flaking and all sorts 360 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: of things. Plus if we just grind and we don't 361 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: self level on top of it, then the ground, the 362 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: grinded areas, the grinded grounded grinded anyway, the place where 363 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: you grind the raises, they're gonna be a different texture now, 364 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: they're never gonna be the same color and texture as 365 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: the rest of the concrete. So you're not gonna like that. 366 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: Look as well. I'll tell you what, Steve, let me 367 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: pop you on hold. We got to go to a 368 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: break real quick. When we come back on the other side. 369 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: I want to talk about this just a little bit 370 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: more and take a couple of more minutes to give 371 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: you some advice. So you hang tight. Everybody hanged tight. 372 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: The number to reach me eight three three two. Ask 373 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: Dean your home with Dean Sharp the house whisper, Dean Sharp, 374 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: the house whisper here to remind you that every home 375 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: deserves great design. It's an all calls Saturday morning. Now 376 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: we got calls on the board. Everybody's just waking up. 377 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: That's all it took. I'm was talking to Steve. Stevie's 378 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: still with me, Bud, Yes, sir, okay, thanks for the call. 379 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: By the way, So Steve's got a concrete patio out 380 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: the back of his house and he's got a tree nearby, 381 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 1: and it looks like it's lifting up part of the 382 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: concrete and maybe sagging in other AARs. He just wanted 383 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: to know whether he should grind it because he's handy, 384 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: he's capable. He can get this stuff done, grind it down, 385 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: smooth it out, maybe put some self leveling concrete out 386 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: there and call it a day, or whether he should 387 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: pull it out. And and I hate to be the 388 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: one who says, hey, do the more involved, more expensive thing. 389 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: But I will say that without hesitation, if I believe 390 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: that the fix quote unquote air quotes here at the 391 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: fix is actually just kind of you know, spending money 392 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: that you don't need to be spending because it's not 393 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: going to last. And I've yet to see in my 394 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: days that kind of a fix last and hold up outside. 395 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: Self leveling concrete is amazing. It's just absolutely amazing. And 396 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: there are companies out there that will tell you that, oh, 397 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: we'll come and resurface and refinish, but you know, and honestly, yeah, that. 398 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 2: Would be my next one is what if I were 399 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 2: to just grind it? And because you know, the grind look, 400 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 2: you know sometimes it is actually a decent look, you know, 401 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 2: without the self leveling. What do you what do you 402 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 2: think about the grind? You know it? Can they do it? 403 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 2: You know, do it yourself? Or what is grinding process? 404 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 2: Is it even worth it? Because but I am leaning 405 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 2: your way, just ripping it out, you know, starting over sawly, 406 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 2: I know it's the way it should be. But you know, 407 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 2: the second option would be to grind it and just 408 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 2: leave it the grinded look. Yeah, no, is that a 409 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 2: good alternative without the self lovely right. 410 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: Well, that's why I held you over because I actually 411 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: wanted to mention that to you. So, depending on how 412 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: severe of a grind you're going to have to make 413 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: for the raised parts, right, if it's subtle, If it's 414 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: subtle and you're winning too willing to put in the effort, 415 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: Grinding a slab is really you know, for those of 416 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: us who like to get our hands dirty, and it's 417 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: actually kind of fun. Actually, it's kind of fun. You 418 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: would think, oh my gosh, what in the world. No, 419 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 1: this is the golden age of tool rentals. You can 420 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: go get a concrete grinder right now down at the 421 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: rental yard, at the rental place, at the local home depot. 422 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: Even you can get a concrete grinder, you bring it 423 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: on home. They're very easy to set up. And so 424 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: if you're willing to grind the whole thing and not 425 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: just the raised area and resurface the whole thing, then 426 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: there's a really good chance you're going to end up 427 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: with a uniform finish. And if that grinding will take 428 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: care of that, that's probably how I would attempt to 429 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: address it first. That is the least expensive way. Now, 430 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: of course, that doesn't solve the invasive root problem, or 431 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: maybe potentially more lift taking place. But you know what, 432 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: especially in the short term, and you know, maybe it's 433 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: been a number of years that it's taken place over 434 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: and maybe it's gonna last for quite a while, So 435 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: that would be possibly the other alternative to pulling it out. 436 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 1: I just wouldn't put any additional laminated layers on top 437 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: of that concrete. So if you can get by with 438 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: retreating the whole look, and I agree with you, I mean, 439 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: resurfacing garage slabs all the time, they look pristine and beautiful. 440 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: And yeah, it's a slightly different finish than what you 441 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: had before, but it's all the same finish and it's 442 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: still all concrete. And you can also, you know, play 443 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: around with it. You could stain it, you can add 444 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: color to it if you want. But so grinding down 445 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: that area, if you grind it everything, I think you 446 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: might be in good shape. 447 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 4: Steve. 448 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: I'd lose him. I'm not a lost Steve anyway. Okay, 449 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: all right, Steve's off, He's on his way. I know 450 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: you're my advice, Steve, so good luck on that. Guess what, 451 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: I got just enough time to start another call, So 452 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: let's talk to Mary. Hey, Mary, welcome home. 453 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 5: I have a roof that I we re roofed entirely 454 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 5: in around nineteen ninety. We tore off all the layers 455 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 5: of roof at that time, shingles at that time, and 456 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 5: added plywood and then the black black role and then 457 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 5: we put just the plain asphalt shingles that have done me, 458 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 5: served me well for thirty years, have some leaks, and 459 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 5: I'm thinking of putting another layer of asphalt shingles on. 460 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 4: At that this time. 461 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: Uh huh. 462 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,479 Speaker 5: And my question is do I need to put another 463 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 5: layer of black? First of all? Can I just add 464 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 5: another layer of shingles to the single layer that is 465 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 5: there right now? And the second question is do I 466 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 5: need to put any more of the black paper or 467 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 5: do I just add another layer of shingles? 468 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,199 Speaker 1: Gotcha? Gotcha? Well, strangely enough, this is one I can 469 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: answer very quickly. Yes, you can just add another layer 470 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: of roof. You are allowed two layers, two layers before 471 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,479 Speaker 1: you have to tear off and start again. Okay, so 472 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: you've got you already did the tear off once and 473 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: now you've got one layer. You can add one more 474 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: layer on top it's the most cost effective way of reroofing. 475 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: It's not always necessarily the way that you know roofers 476 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: want to wreck commend it, but it can be done, 477 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: and know you would not be adding the building paper again. 478 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: What you will make sure you do, though, is repair 479 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: anything that is an issue, a big issue. You don't 480 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: want to cover up a problem. You just kind of 481 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: repair over it, and then you can reroof the whole 482 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: house so you don't need the building paper again. You 483 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: just need a new layer of comp shingle on top 484 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,479 Speaker 1: of the comp that you've already got and there you go. 485 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: Because everybody is allowed two. Once you have two, you 486 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: can add three. You got to tear it all off 487 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: and start again. So you're in good shape. 488 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 6: Mary. 489 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: All right, we are up against a break. When we 490 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: come back, more of your calls, and we're going to 491 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: give away four more tickets, the four final tickets to 492 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: our holiday home show go nowhere your Home with Dean Sharp, 493 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: the House Whisper. 494 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 6: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 495 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 6: KFI AM six forty
