And since then, 20 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 3: I live in the south of well Water, we we 21 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: have water spots all over that brand new glass and 22 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 3: I cannot get it clean. I've tried all the thing, 23 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 3: the clr, the barkeeper's friend, other things, and I just 24 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 3: cannot get that off, and so I want to before 25 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 3: I start using steel wool or or a scriper n I 26 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 3: for something I just don't want to. 27 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: You don't want to. You don't want to scratch the glass, 28 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 2: that's for sure. So be careful with that. Use four 29 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: odd steel wool and soapy water. You can try that 30 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 2: one of the things. I've got a couple of things. 31 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 2: I mean, it sounds like you have a fairly extensive 32 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 2: case of hard water. 33 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 3: We must. Yeah, we never realized that, but maybe maybe 34 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 3: so yeah, yeah, so. 35 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 2: You hear me talk about the Jaws products. They do 36 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 2: have a shower cleaner, which reports have been very positive. 37 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: That might be one option. The other option is is 38 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: a product that I use. It's the wet and forgets shower. 39 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: Now. 40 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: I want to make a little disclaimer here. I use 41 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: it not because it has because I have hard water spots. Uh, 42 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: I have a water soft I don't have hard water spots. 43 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: I don't have hard water. But for mildew and just 44 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 2: general purpose cleaning in the shower. Their shower cleaner, I 45 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: can't say enough great things about it. You spray it 46 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: on once a week and you forget it and once 47 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 2: a week you spray it on, you don't scrub, you 48 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: don't do anything. Now, originally it may take uh there's 49 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: more of a maintenance product. It will clean it obviously, 50 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: but in other words that if you spray it on 51 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: and you the next day you rinse it off, that's 52 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 2: all you got to do and it's still spotted. 53 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: Don't get mad at me. 54 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 4: You would. 55 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: You might have to reapply a second time, or you 56 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: might have to, you know, try to use the steal 57 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 2: or something along those lines. I pay a lot of 58 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: people tell me that they've used it maybe a couple 59 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: of times, and it's slowly eliminated the problem. And then 60 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: it's a once a week maintenance issue. You know, you 61 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 2: sprayed down. So the wed forget shower or Jaws has 62 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: just a bathroom cleanser. It's a spray on. They also, 63 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 2: you know another thing they have boy and I got 64 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: some at home, but I again, I don't have hard 65 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: water deposits. They have one called cream cleanser, and I 66 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 2: know for staining in toilets and stuff it outperforms the 67 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: barkeeper's friend. 68 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 3: It's got a little bit of. 69 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: Grit to it. 70 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: It's not going So you might look at that one too, 71 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 2: at least for that initial cleaning. I really recommend that 72 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 2: Wedn't Forget is an ongoing maintenance product. 73 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: But I know you got to get a clean first. 74 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: So maybe that cream cleanser. That's good stuff, and that 75 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: is a Jaws product. 76 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 3: Yes, okay, okay, all right. 77 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: Well jaws clean dot Com is the web. 78 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 3: Okay.

We have 90 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 5: a well, our houses, I don't know, maybe seventy years 91 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 5: old or something, and so the garage floor must be 92 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 5: that because it's a built in garage and there's a 93 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 5: track goes down the middle of the two cars. So 94 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 5: it goes down the middle, and then there's a thin 95 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 5: crack that goes across the middle. 96 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 6: And these are very thin. 97 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 5: But right in the middle between the two cars there 98 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 5: is an area that looks like it has been patched 99 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 5: with concrete, and that is kind of crumbling out. And 100 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 5: I asked our handyman, and he said that you really 101 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 5: can't fixed concrete because you can't put concrete over concrete. Well, 102 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 5: apparently somebody did and it's simping all this time. But 103 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 5: so my main concern is that center. 104 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 6: Between the two cars. It's maybe two and a half feet. 105 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 5: Wide, but then it's very it's fairly narrow, and it's 106 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 5: kind of coming. 107 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: Well, what we got to do is we got to 108 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: get that old patched concrete out of there.

I turn on the lights and after about 221 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 9: a minute they will occasionally start flashing, just on off, 222 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 9: just two of them on off, on off, on off. 223 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 9: And there I've got led bulbs in there. 224 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: Okay. 225 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 9: So is that a wiring issue? 226 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: It could be. 227 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: It could also be it wouldn't be really a heat 228 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: issue with led bulbs unless you didn't happen to do 229 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: any adding any insulation in the attic or anything. 230 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 4: Did you never done. 231 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 9: Any This started about two weeks ago, and I'm not 232 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 9: I've not been up there in a couple of years 233 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 9: have you. 234 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 2: Why don't you just swap out a couple of bulbs 235 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: see if anything happens. 236 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 9: Okay, Okay, that's that's I thought about that, but I 237 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 9: knew you were the expert. 238 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, now that's what I would do. I mean, it 239 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: could be a short, it could be a loose wire. 240 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: Uh. Some of these can lights have a thermal break. 241 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: Some don't. 242 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 2: And a mistake when people will insulate is they'll cover 243 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 2: them up and it'll kind of hold some. 244 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: Of that heat. 245 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: And even though the LED is greatly decreasing that problem, 246 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 2: but it might just be the bulbs. 247 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 9: Okay, Well, I definitely know that there's no insulation around 248 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 9: the can lights when when they put the insulation in 249 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 9: are added to it a couple of years ago, they 250 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 9: were they were very thorough, and I got up there 251 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 9: and I noticed it was okay, all right. So if 252 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 9: let's say, if I replace the bulbs and I still 253 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 9: have the. 254 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: Issue, then I'd get up there and I would check 255 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: the oniring. 256 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: Okay maybe yeah, yeah, you know, LED bulbs can be 257 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 2: a little sensitive. So my guess is that's what it is, 258 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 2: or maybe even I mean ld ed bulbs even screw 259 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: up garage door openers. So I don't know if there's Yeah, 260 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 2: so I don't know if there's something interfering with them. 261 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 2: But you know, i'd check the bubs. I feel fairly 262 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 2: confident it might be the bulbs. I got crazy things 263 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 2: going on in my house right now too. It's like 264 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 2: sometimes you just scratch your head and you it's like 265 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 2: some of these things have a mind of their own, 266 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 2: and it seems to be more of the new stuff 267 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 2: than the older stuff. But yeah, I would check the wiring, 268 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 2: but it'd be very secondary. 269 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: I just swap out some bulbs. 270 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: It might even be interesting to switch the bulbs from 271 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 2: one can light to the other two. 272 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: That'd be interesting. 273 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 9: Okay, I'll like you go and fix other people. One thing, 274 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 9: one thing I wanted I wanted to say to you. Okay, 275 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 9: as you sit there with your cup of coffee, just 276 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 9: remember the tide's coming for the buck eye. 277 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: Okay, I hear you. We'll see how that all rolls. 278 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: Harold rolls out of take care and Rick welcome. 279 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 10: All right, yes, right, I have a little problem with 280 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 10: my shower, my shelf faucet. 281 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 11: The valve on and off. It's one hand. It moves 282 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 11: from from cold and you turn it on and it 283 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 11: goes to hot, and then when it the hot water, 284 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 11: when it warms up, and just before that the hot water, 285 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 11: there's no pressure coming out of hot water side. Only 286 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 11: the cold water side. I have full pressure. And on 287 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 11: the handle itself. 288 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 10: There's no manufacturer's name, there's nothing. 289 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 11: There's no screws to take out like the mowing fauted handles. 290 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 11: I'm not sure how to take this bloody thing off 291 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 11: to h maybe see if it's clogged up back there. 292 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 2: Is it just the shower or is it the spout 293 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: and the shower or do they do the same thing, 294 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 2: or is it just a shower. 295 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 10: It's just a shower all the rest of the. 296 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 2: You're getting full and if you just turn just the 297 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 2: hot on, you. 298 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 10: Get no water, hardly any it all. It's a trickle. 299 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 10: So there's a valve problem. 300 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, So the stem that goes into turning that knob, 301 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 2: there's a sensor on there, and that cartridge is probably 302 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 2: bad because what it is is kind of like a 303 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 2: skull proof sensor. It won't let it get too hot. 304 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 2: It just shuts off. And it sounds like that's the 305 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 2: problem in that cart for itself. But you're going to 306 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: have to find out what brand of faucet it is, 307 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 2: or maybe take it to a supply house and see 308 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 2: if you can match up that cartridge, because it sounds 309 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 2: to me that's what it is. So is it a 310 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 2: clear handle or a loose sight handle or can you 311 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 2: get that handle off to get to the cartridge. 312 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 10: I don't even know how to get the handle off. 313 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 10: There's no screws, there's no there isn't anything that. There's 314 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 10: no little button to push up underneath or anything. 315 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 1: I don't know how is it a lever handle? 316 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 10: I don't understand your lever meaning moving back and forth? 317 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 2: In other words, there's the round ball handle. You know, 318 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 2: it looks like a ball. It's a circle. And then 319 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 2: there's a lever. 320 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: Like a door lock. 321 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 10: No, it looks like a door not handled it. 322 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: Okay, So in where that lever is, or that armature is, 323 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 2: if you go up underneath that all the way to 324 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 2: the center, there might be a Allen screw in there. 325 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 10: I look, I don't see. 326 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: You don't see get it? Yeah? 327 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 2: The other thing is and again if we don't have 328 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 2: the manufacturer, I can't really tell you. But there's also 329 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 2: a bonnet, a cone shaped bonnet and put a towel 330 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 2: around that, and with a wrench you might be able 331 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 2: to take that entire bonnet and leave your assembly off 332 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 2: to get to the cartridge. 333 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: We'll continue at Home with Gary Sullivan. 334 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 7: Help for your home is just a click away at 335 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 7: Garysullivan online dot com is at Home with Gary Sullivan. 336 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 2: Here's an easy dy project to upgrade your concrete patio, 337 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 2: steps or walkway roller rock from dish Coatings.

How you doing doing fine? 395 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: Thank you? 396 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 6: Good. 397 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 8: Quick question the bottom of my driveway going into my garage, 398 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 8: I got a couple of chunks of hot toop missing. 399 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 8: So I was saying, I went to home deep all 400 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 8: looking and they have these big plastic bottles of liquid, 401 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 8: and I didn't think that was a good idea. So 402 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 8: I'm looking at the hot top patch. Unfortunately, they come 403 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 8: in a forty pound bag and I don't need forty pounds. 404 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 8: So I finally found one that comes in the bucket. Now, 405 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 8: can I apply that any time of the year does 406 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 8: have to be a certain temperature, because I know a 407 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 8: par of Massachusetts this week and it's going to be 408 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 8: this week, it's going to be like in the middle fifties. 409 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 2: No, i'd do it in and on that bucket. Yeah, 410 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 2: I don't think I would do it when it's you know, 411 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 2: cold and snow or anything, but middle fifties, it should 412 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 2: be fine all products, and on the instructions on that product, 413 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 2: kim somewhere. It's going to have temperature limitations and it 414 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 2: will first of all, won't be very pliable once it 415 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: gets below freezing, but you could warm it up. But 416 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: at mid fifties, I think you'll be fine to use that. 417 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 2: The secret then is how you're going to use that. 418 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 2: So is there pieces of it that have come up 419 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 2: or it's just compromised, a lot of cracks in it, 420 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 2: or what are you trying to do there? 421 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 4: No, it's just like it's a hole. 422 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 8: I blew it out, you know, I took my store 423 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 8: on my leaf blow blew everything. 424 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: Out of the Okay, keep it clean, all right. 425 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 8: So basically it's just getting a troll or something scooping 426 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 8: it up, putting it in the air and trollett's back 427 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 8: and forth. 428 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: Right, Well, that's kind of where I was going with it. 429 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 2: So the one you got, it's got like gravel and 430 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 2: tar mixed together, like the patch of pothole with Yeah, okay, 431 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 2: so just putting that on the top, you're gonna feel good. 432 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 2: You're gonna cover it up, but it's probably not going 433 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 2: to be very substantial where it's gonna last. So that 434 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 2: that area that you blew out with the blower, was 435 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 2: there a lot of loose impediments? Is there just a 436 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 2: little dip, a little swale, or is if you kind 437 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 2: of really got aggressive with it, could you take up 438 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 2: some chunks? 439 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: Is really where I'm asking the. 440 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 8: It's missing, it's just a whole. 441 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: Okay. 442 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 2: So what you want to do is once you get 443 00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 2: is that that hole, once it's established, get your your 444 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 2: self a what they call cold chisel, which is a 445 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 2: masonry chisel. It'll cut through asphalt too. And you want 446 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 2: to square up the sides of that hole. Okay, you 447 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 2: don't want to create I'll use this analogy. You got 448 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 2: a saucer and you got a baking pan, square sides 449 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 2: on the baking pan, and you want to have that 450 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 2: hole look like a baking pan. 451 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: So when you. 452 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 2: Put that patch in there and you tamp that down, 453 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 2: those sides are holding that patch. If I put that 454 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 2: patch over the saucer and I tamp that down, over time, 455 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 2: there's nothing really holding it. It's just gonna spread and 456 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 2: it's gonna break itself down again. 457 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 4: All right. 458 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 8: That makes that makes a lot of spets okay, So 459 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 8: so what I have. 460 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 4: To do is that hole. 461 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 8: You have to square it. 462 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: Off, square it up. Preparation is always the key. 463 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 2: And if you if you get that thing squared up, 464 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 2: and then if you don't have a tamper me you 465 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 2: can borrow one. If you don't, you can put some 466 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: plywood over and drive your car back and forth of it. 467 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 2: The more we can square up the side, something to 468 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 2: hold that patch and then compress that patch, the better 469 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 2: off it's going to be longer, it's gonna last. 470 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 4: Very good, Gary, all rank you, thank. 471 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: You, You're quite welcome. Thank you. 472 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 2: Take care all right, and let's go to Mike. Mike, welcome, Hey, 473 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 2: good morning Gary. How you doing doing fine? Thank you, sir. 474 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 12: I got two or three questions, depending on how much 475 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 12: time you have, about air quality and moisture issues and 476 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 12: a basement. 477 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: Okay, let's get started. 478 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 12: So that the house is about three and a half 479 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 12: years old, unfinished. I had a waterproofing company out and 480 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 12: I'm kind of skeptical some of the observations they made. 481 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 12: For example, the I beam is russ me, is that 482 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 12: in and of itself indicator of oisture problems? 483 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 2: Well it could be, but there's probably a lot of 484 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 2: rusty eye beams. You know, basements are generally humid, whether 485 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 2: you have a leak in running water or just high humidity. 486 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 2: So you know, I'd say there's a surface rust on 487 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 2: most eye beams, but not all so okay. 488 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 12: So maybe maybe clean it up, clean it up, and 489 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 12: if it doesn't reappear. 490 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you what, there's probably a better way 491 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 2: to do that. What I do is get a little 492 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 2: humidity guide. You can get them for you know, ten twelve, 493 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 2: fifteen bucks. Just put that down in the basement. Let's 494 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 2: see what kind of humidity you're running down there. Ideally, 495 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 2: ideally in the winter time, you want to be running 496 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 2: somewhere between fifty and sixty percent. Not over that, but 497 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 2: fifty sixty percent. My basement humanity this morning is forty 498 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 2: five percent. 499 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 12: And I've got a pulls little battery indicators, and I'm 500 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 12: keeping it with a heavy duty humidifier running okay into 501 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 12: the floor drain. I'm keeping it forty. 502 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, you're doing fine. 503 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 12: It So before I finish this basement, I like your 504 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 12: recommendation of dry lock on the walls and the unfinished 505 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 12: areas of the floor. Are there different varieties or is 506 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 12: there just one. 507 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: Ye, there's different varieties. 508 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 2: So people ask me a lot, especially when they're finishing 509 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 2: a basement, and I go, it's a good insurance policy. 510 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: Is it something you have to do? 511 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 2: No, not necessarily, but there's two general ones you may 512 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 2: be interested in. The standard dry lock you know, it 513 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 2: comes in white. There's also a clear one and it 514 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 2: can go on the walls. And what it will do 515 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 2: is it will minimize the amount of water vapor that's 516 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 2: passing through that wall. Now, if it's a poored foundation, 517 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 2: that's great. If it's a block foundation, maybe not as 518 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 2: great because it could then stop the water and then 519 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 2: the water stuck in the block. But it will minimize 520 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 2: a lot of water vapor, which will minimize humidity. 521 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 12: But it won't minimize the point where we've got a 522 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 12: problem trapping moisture in the concrete. 523 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: No, you'll be fine. You'll be fine. 524 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 2: It's kind of I always I always say it's kind 525 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 2: of like a water vapor barrier that you're putting on concrete. 526 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 2: It's not going to hold back a flood. The old 527 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 2: drylock point of purchase thing did it best? It had 528 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 2: a concrete block with a little water pump that poured 529 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 2: water into the concrete block. One side was covered with 530 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 2: the dry lock, the other side there was nothing in 531 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 2: the water would weep through the concrete block on the 532 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 2: left and where the dry lock was it would it 533 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 2: wouldn't be dried to the touch on the outside. So 534 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 2: it'll hold back about ten pounds of water pressure per 535 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 2: square inch. So it's a nice insurance policy. You can 536 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 2: put that on the walls. Uh, there's a clear for 537 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 2: the floors. It's clear only and again helps with sealing 538 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 2: out rad on helps seal out water vapor. So you 539 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 2: know it's not gonna it's not gonna stop a disaster, 540 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 2: but it'll keep the air dryer. It'll help you control 541 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 2: that humidity. 542 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 12: Perfect that. We will do that before we finish. And then, 543 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 12: like I said, it's about a three and a half 544 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 12: year old home. Any reason I should not go around 545 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 12: the perimeter and with a cephal self leveling product and 546 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 12: a cooking tube that any reason I shouldn't fill that 547 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 12: gap where the floor meets. 548 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 2: The walls, well, I'd leave it alone. I mean you could, 549 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 2: you could, you could if Again, it's one of those deals. 550 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 2: If you have a water table issue that calking won't 551 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 2: hold up to the water. It would seal out some 552 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 2: water vapor. It'd be minute, but it would seal it. 553 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 2: So it's not gonna hurt if you do. 554 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: But again it's it'll help with water vapor and right on, 555 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: but it'll be pretty minimal. 556 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 12: My motivation was great on because after we bought the house, 557 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 12: we had it test that it was high and we 558 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 12: put in a a system. 559 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: Oh okay. 560 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 12: Fortunately the builder had already run the pipe. So the 561 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 12: system matter of yes, the blow in the attic. 562 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: As long as you control it, it's important. It really is. 563 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 9: Well. 564 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 12: Great, I appreciate answered all three. 565 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 2: Very good, Mike, thanks, good luck on that basement.

So my screen door in front of my house. 631 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 13: I'm going a break home I believe built in the 632 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 13: early sixties, and my main door everything is square. So 633 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 13: my screen door, I realize, is shutting kind of hard, 634 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 13: so I get to look in it out of square. 635 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 13: You got your frame and actual door itself to the 636 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 13: top right. If you're looking at the door from inside 637 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 13: where it closes to to the door, the top right 638 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 13: side is hanging down a little bit from the frame. 639 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 13: I thought, oh, well, maybe the hinges bend, maybe the 640 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 13: damper is you know whatever, It's not that the actual 641 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 13: frame is pulling away from the brick only in the 642 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 13: top portion. Obviously cut the bottom because I would say 643 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 13: the far right side of the door where it closes, 644 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 13: where it is hitting the concrete, it's not letting it 645 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 13: sag anymore. But the first four the first half of 646 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 13: the top of the frame has pulled away from the 647 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 13: brick about three eighths of an inch. So I've got 648 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 13: a masonary. I'm a maintenance man, industrial maintenance mander. Either, 649 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 13: I got a masonary bit, some masonary screws, and the 650 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 13: only thing is the last part here behind the frame. 651 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 13: They put some cribbage they put it looks like about 652 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,280 Speaker 13: an inch piece of two before they've cut the width 653 00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 13: of the frame and ranatic so it goes frame two 654 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 13: before spacer or to fill that gap. Then the brick 655 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:05,439 Speaker 13: of my home, so. 656 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 2: They kind of made a wedge to seal it up. 657 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: If it. 658 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 13: Runs a whole into the house. So when they laid 659 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 13: the brick, the door frame must have been a little 660 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 13: bit bigger than the frame of the actual door they bought, 661 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 13: and they put, you know, to fill that gap, a 662 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 13: little bit of a little crib, you know, right, So, 663 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 13: like I said, that top of that frame is pulled 664 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 13: away from the house, and it gets shorter towards the 665 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,280 Speaker 13: bottom because the bottom of the door is in square. 666 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 13: So it goes from about three eighths of an inch 667 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 13: to a quarter of an inch to nothing. They're halfway 668 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 13: to a door point. So I just want to I 669 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 13: just want to run three screws back up and seal 670 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 13: it back to the brick, is what I'm thinking. But 671 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 13: that that sound like it would work. 672 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 2: Well, it's it's kind of like to a point. Does 673 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 2: the door open and close smoothly? I mean, does that function? 674 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 13: Yeah, the main door, the big door does, just not 675 00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 13: the main door. The doors where the screen door, I don't. No, 676 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 13: it will not fit in because the top of the 677 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 13: door is overhanging the word. It's supposed to close that by, 678 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 13: like I said, about three eights in. 679 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 2: So the only the only way to fix it is 680 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 2: to pull it together then, right, It's not a matter 681 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:19,320 Speaker 2: of just it's a matter of literally pulling it together exactly. 682 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 13: So I got I got called I'm gonna I'm gonna 683 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 13: drim my pilot holes, put some cock and then seal 684 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 13: it in. And then I got my I got my 685 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 13: oldest son. He's holding us that way, the screw and 686 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 13: the brick and the frame aren't having to do all 687 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 13: the work. I'm gonna have him lift that door to 688 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 13: push it square and then suck it screws in and 689 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 13: hold it all together right there. 690 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 2: That seems to make sense to me too, because that's 691 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 2: why I was going to ask you, if you're pulling 692 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 2: that top in, where's the give? And the give is 693 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 2: down at the bottom, So by him lifting that up, 694 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,439 Speaker 2: you should have enough flex to pull that in nice 695 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 2: and time. 696 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. 697 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 13: Yeah, because I got a privar. You can't make it 698 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 13: square until you have to privee bar offen it falls 699 00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 13: back down. So I'm having pry it back to square 700 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 13: stuck in. I think it's hold. I just want to verify. 701 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds good to me. Yeah, I'm not there, 702 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: but it makes sense to me. It sounds like you're 703 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: going in the right direction. 704 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:09,879 Speaker 13: Good here, thank you, about all right? 705 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 1: Take care, good luck, take care? All right? How about that? 706 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 2: Eight eight two three eight two five five that's our number. 707 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 2: You can grab a line. Spot's open. 708 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 1: Keith, Welcome, Good morning, Gary morning. 709 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 4: I got a couple of questions on UH hot water tanks. Okay, 710 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 4: like Ao Smith and Richmond, Uh, I is one better 711 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 4: than the other, you know as far as lasting, you know, 712 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 4: get your thoughts on it. And then the other question 713 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 4: would be I'm total electric and I was thinking about 714 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 4: like the heat pump, UH hot water tanks. Yeah, is 715 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 4: there a huge benefit to them? And I'm kind of 716 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 4: curious of how loud do you think they he pumps 717 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:01,839 Speaker 4: would be. 718 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 2: They're not too loud. I've been in homes that have them. 719 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 2: I think there are advantages. I think they are cost savings. 720 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 2: There's also a negative, you know, there always is home 721 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 2: from the ying and the yang. The negative would be 722 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 2: the way the heat pump works. The recovery is drawn out. 723 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 2: So if you have a whole bunch of people in 724 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,799 Speaker 2: the house, that's a challenge. If you got one or 725 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 2: two people, that's not a challenge at all. You hit 726 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,959 Speaker 2: your showers in the morning, and if it takes four 727 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 2: hours for it to recover, who cares. If you got 728 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 2: you know, five people in the house and we're all 729 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,479 Speaker 2: on different schedules, you might need to recovery a little 730 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 2: quicker than that's gonna you know, give you. So that's 731 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 2: just something to keep in mind. The savings is significant. 732 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 2: I think the only and this was the case, I 733 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 2: don't know if it still is the case. The only 734 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 2: way you could get an energy star rating on an 735 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 2: electric of water heater would be to get the ones 736 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 2: that had a heat pump. A straight electric water heater 737 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 2: would not get an energy star. So that's the real 738 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 2: energy improvement of an electric water here. So two three people, 739 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,240 Speaker 2: you're probably okay, if more that prib be careful. 740 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 4: Now do these like these heat pumps off the not 741 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 4: recovering fass enough? Would they kick over to the uh? Yes, 742 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:30,240 Speaker 4: the electric side. 743 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, they have a setting on there. I think it's 744 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 2: called a vacation cycle or something along those lines. So 745 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 2: if you had four people in your house and four 746 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 2: visitors come stay with you for a week, you could 747 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 2: put that in and you would override the heat pump. 748 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,799 Speaker 1: Okay, so you just like what you had. 749 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've just been kicking it around. I don't know. 750 00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 4: I wasn't quite sure which route to go. 751 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 2: Well, with just electric, you haven't got the flexibility or 752 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:10,400 Speaker 2: the nimbleness of a gas or propane heater because the 753 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:15,279 Speaker 2: tankless in electric i'd stay away from. Personally, from a 754 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,280 Speaker 2: gas tankless, I'd get on that right away. 755 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,320 Speaker 1: But on electric, no, not so much. 756 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 2: And so the only way from a saving standpoint on 757 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 2: energy usage is the heat pump. And some people go, oh, 758 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 2: the heat pump puts off cold air. It does, but 759 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,800 Speaker 2: if it's down in the basement, you're upstairs, Ah, who cares, 760 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 2: you know. But if a little condo, if you're putting 761 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 2: it in a closet right by your favorite recliner, that 762 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 2: could be a problem. There's a little bit of home, 763 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 2: a little bit of coolness. As far as the quality, 764 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,919 Speaker 2: both the ones you mentioned are great. I really don't 765 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,720 Speaker 2: know how to answer that. Aosmith's been around a long time. 766 00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 2: They're a very good water heater. I know they're making 767 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,920 Speaker 2: a big surge selling a lot of products. 768 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if they've cheapened them up at all. 769 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 2: But it's a good quality here, all right. Thank you 770 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 2: much for the call. I appreciate it.
