But one 33 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: of the things we're going to work on today is 34 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: not necessarily redoing the kitchen, just kind of clean it up, 35 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: giving a little better look. Maybe it is just cleaning 36 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: that glass top stove before the holidays, and maybe it's 37 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: taking a look at the kitchen cabinets, refinishing them, maybe 38 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: just cleaning them, maybe rejuvenating. So we'll get some tips 39 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: on that as we work our way through the weekend. 40 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: And you know, as you uh, I don't know, if 41 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: you start getting kind of finicky of things are knee 42 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: inside of the house. We're saying to start spending more 43 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: time indoors in many parts of the country. 44 00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: Uh. 45 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: And we're going to have our first cold snap here 46 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: in about twenty four hours, and I'm sure we won't 47 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: be alone. We were based out of the Midwest, so 48 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: we'll get our fair share of cold weather. And it's coming. 49 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: And as I was walking around the house yesterday just 50 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: kind of looking at things that might be a little 51 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: out of kilter, I found the down spout where it 52 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: wasn't lining up to the pipe under the ground. And 53 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: that's a big deal. It doesn't look like anything. I mean, 54 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: it doesn't look like a big deal at all. It's 55 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: behind some bushes. I happen to be just blowing the 56 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: leaves out of the landscaping beds. 57 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 3: Huh. 58 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: Thing's not lined up. And of course it's as bad 59 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: as claw gutters, quite honestly, because as it rains and 60 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: it goes down the roof and into the gutters and 61 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: it flows down the down spout. If the pipe going underground, 62 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: is it lined up with a down spout, bingo, you 63 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: got it. It's right on the foundation. Causes hydrostatic pressure 64 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: not good for the foundation and sometimes join up with 65 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: a wet basement. So let's talk about that. It's eight 66 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: hundred eighty two three eight two five five, and Jim, 67 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: you lead us off today. Welcome. 68 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 4: I good Sunday morning to you, sir. 69 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: Yes, sir, thank you. 70 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 4: I was. I got me a new refrigerator or two 71 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 4: letter job. It's not the same brand as yours, is okay, 72 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 4: and it's making it's making funny noises, and sometimes the freezer. 73 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 4: The freezer's had ice all over it in the bottom. 74 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 4: And when I first got it was nicely, it ran 75 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 4: nice and quiet the first three or four days, and 76 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 4: then I heard scratching down on the floor behind it. 77 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 4: It sounded like a small mouse or a small rat. 78 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 4: And that lasted about two or three minutes. And I 79 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 4: haven't heard that always since. And uh, I'm and I 80 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 4: was just curious if you got about the same thing. 81 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 4: I know you've got a different two letter model than 82 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 4: mine is, but. 83 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, well I'm still I'm still fighting my battle, Jim. 84 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: My refrigerator is only a year and a half old. 85 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: And I had two service calls when was during warranty, 86 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: which never makes anybody happy. And then when I started 87 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: having problems. Is it wasn't really cooling to a degree. 88 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: It wasn't making ice real well. And I came out 89 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: and replaced the ice maker, and then after it got 90 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: out a warranty. Luckily, I never bought an extended warranty 91 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: in my life, but I did on this one because 92 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,799 Speaker 1: I just had a bad feeling. 93 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 4: I did the same thing. I got one. I got 94 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 4: one year on it and uh, like I said, I 95 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 4: got there for five year. Morning I pay for it, and. 96 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, so what mine was I had. I had to 97 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: repair people with the warranty out again this week and 98 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: my my fan sounded like found it sounded like a 99 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: propeller on a plane that was hitting the wall. That's 100 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: how loud it was. 101 00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 2: And I even take I even taken't like, oh man, 102 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 2: and this thing was loud and it wasn't cool and 103 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 2: it had all it really did feel like it had 104 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: all kinds of problems. 105 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: With the service guy. It was the second trip to 106 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: the house in two weeks, and finally he took off 107 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: the covers and opened up and he goes and it 108 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: looked like a glacier was behind there. So it's the 109 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: heater that wasn't defrosting properly. It was the water where 110 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: it was draining out. That pan wasn't in there where 111 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: there was fall to the drain, so it was collecting water, 112 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: it was freezing, and so they actually ordered four parts 113 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: and they're supposed to come Thursday and get it all 114 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: taken care of. But he said, not only was that 115 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: fan hitting ice after we thowed some of that ice, 116 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: that pan was bent and that fan blade was actually 117 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: not only hitting the ice, but it was also hitting 118 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: the side of the cover of the back of the refrigerator. 119 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: So it had some big issues. I'm far from an 120 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: appliance repair person, but hopefully we get that all straight 121 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: out on Thursday. 122 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 4: I get a little bit of a fan always on 123 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 4: mine back in the back every now and anybody's kind 124 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 4: of like, I don't know, it's real light. It's sometimes 125 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 4: that fan makes and always back there, and sometimes it doesn't. 126 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, well so was mine mine would I don't know 127 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: if it'd get jammed, but it get very quiet sometimes. 128 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: It just it had several issues where it just wasn't 129 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: allowed to work right. So, like I said, hopefully we 130 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: get that, you know, that defroster where we can move 131 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: the air between the freezer and the refrigerator compartment and 132 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: the fans not hitting, you know, the cage and the 133 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: ice is melted and then we'll be in good shape. 134 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: But it was interesting. I did a little research on 135 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: the unit itself before I even called the repair people, 136 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: and everything it pinpointed turned out to be exactly what 137 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: it was was. You know, they were talking about the 138 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: heater on that particular model. I've had some problems with it. 139 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: It's just amazing to me the amount of information you 140 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: can pick up online now, even without knowing much about appliances. 141 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: Quite honestly, that. 142 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 4: Thing I like about mine. Thing I like about mine 143 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 4: the best is it saved me almost four hundred and 144 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 4: fifty dollars a month on electric or four hundred and 145 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 4: fifty killowats a month on electric. Right, I've been reading 146 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 4: my media every day, right, and it's saved me.

But I kept look 149 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 4: that electric builders nothing running in the house, but nothing 150 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 4: hardly at all. Yeah, bun coffee pot and that was it. 151 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 4: And I was paying almost two hundred dollars months. 152 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you my refriger is saving me a 153 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: lot of money right now because it's not even working. 154 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 4: I feel for you, brother, I feel. 155 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: All night, Jim, Well, thank you so much.

What are you working on? 205 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 3: Good morning Gary. How are you going? Well, I'm not 206 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 3: gonna work on it today. It's a little rainy, but anyway, 207 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: I have a I have an older house. The trees 208 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 3: look pretty though. I have an older house, a center 209 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 3: block foundation. It's pretty stable. I got a few little 210 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 3: hairline not hairline cracks, hair steps cracks here and there 211 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 3: that I've cocked over over the years. But it's a 212 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 3: stable you know. I don't have anything shifting or anything 213 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 3: like that. But the foundation has been painting. It is 214 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 3: mostly above ground, okay, foundations on the hill side, so, 215 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 3: but I'm it's been painted over the years. I want 216 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 3: to think I'm thinking about putting something like a rhino 217 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 3: shield or a ry type of product on there that 218 00:12:54,679 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: would basically seal that up better than cinder blocks. But 219 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 3: I'm not sure I could do that, you know, with 220 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 3: like that type of product. 221 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: Well you could. You could a runner shield of work 222 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: on wood, it'll work on block, it'll work on metal siding, 223 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: it'll work on bricks. So that's certainly an option. Are 224 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: you looking for somebody to do this for you or 225 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: are you looking for something as a do it yourself 226 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: project or kind of like where's the budget? 227 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 3: Well, I'd probably do it myself. I'm fairly handy, Okay. 228 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 3: I guess the biggest thing would probably be taking off 229 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 3: that old paint, several layers of paint that's been on there, iume. 230 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 3: That has to be pretty clean. 231 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, man, First thing every direction says on every can 232 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: of paint is pretty much addressing what's already on here, 233 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: and quite honestly, not only just cleaning, but removing as 234 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: much of it as you can. Uh so what's on 235 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: there now? Is it like regular house paint will or 236 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: what's on. 237 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 3: It was some type of you know, like a concrete 238 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 3: paint that was you know, tinted in the master house, 239 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 3: you know, so it was actually a concrete I don't know, 240 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 3: you know, I don't know. I don't think it's oil, 241 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 3: but it's probably know, some type of good quality paint. Okay, 242 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 3: that lives. 243 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: So so is this issue cosmetic more than anything at 244 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: this point? 245 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 3: Well, it is cosmetic because instead of paint is now 246 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 3: it's diesel pink. It's probably thirty twenty five years old, 247 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 3: and I've touched it up a little spotsier and there. Okay, 248 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 3: but it is it is probably twenty five to thirty 249 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 3: years old. Okay, But I'm thinking the rhino shield will 250 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 3: steal the foundation a little bit better. You know, That's 251 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 3: what my thoughts. 252 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: Are, right right, you know what I'm saying, Well, you 253 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: know what I would do then if rhino shield is 254 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: not a do it yourself project, it's it's applied. So 255 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: what I would do, if that's kind of what you 256 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: have in mind, is I would get them out there 257 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: and let them take a look at it and see 258 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: what that cost is and what you know, what they're 259 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: going to have to do. I know they use a 260 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: specific primer and stuff, so they may be able to 261 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: just use the primer and then do the rhino shield 262 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: over that. But I can't say, you know without seeing it, 263 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: So why don't you put that on your list to 264 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: go ahead and get that estimate and then in the 265 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: meantime I can give you some other things. If if 266 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: the finish is just tired looking and it's not really 267 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: peeling and it's not you know, it's kind of there 268 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: and faded and just tired looking, there's a there's a 269 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: number of products you could put on there. From a 270 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: regular like Emerald Sherwin Williams Exterior flat house paint, which 271 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: you'll give you serviceable pigment on that surface for probably 272 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: ten to fifteen years. There is a product like dry Lock, 273 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: which is a masonry paint which holds back water vapor. 274 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: I will say that if you use that product to 275 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: get the full benefits of that concrete water repellency, that 276 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: you would have to remove the existing product, so that 277 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: would be your masonry waterproofing paint. Then there's one decorative 278 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: coatings that are kind of almost looks like a corean. 279 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: You may have heard me talk about a product called 280 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: roller Rock. It's a very decorative coating, comes in probably 281 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: eight different color patterns. It's a thick coating. It could 282 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: probably go over that existing coating. Again, if it's just 283 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: faded and tightly adhered to the existing substrate, it'd probably 284 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: just be a matter of cleaning it and put two 285 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: coats of the roller Rock on. So there's three quick 286 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: do it yourself coatings you could use. And then in 287 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: the meantime you'll have your quote on your rhino shield 288 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: and then we can probably have a little little further 289 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: discussion or you know, weighing the benefits and the cost 290 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 1: might give you your answer. 291 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. 292 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 6: It is feeling in several places. So I'd probably take 293 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 6: a powwasher and might be power worship. Not in a 294 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 6: real thick but you know to knock it off or 295 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 6: a wire brush on a pold Okay, And it is 296 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 6: a want it matches the house, which is an almond 297 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 6: so it's an almond color and that's what the sighting is. 298 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 3: Okay, So it glaze pretty well. So can you tint, 299 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 3: like dry lock any of those things? 300 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: You can sure, sure, so the roller rock will put 301 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: that off to the side. They do have an almond one, 302 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: but it has like I said, it's not like a 303 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: flat color like house pain. It's got some pattern. But yes, 304 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: you can. The dry lock can be tinted. Absolutely. The 305 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: people in the paint store a hardware store may not 306 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: know that. But here's the little secret. They all have 307 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,479 Speaker 1: their mixing tints, and they all have their formula books. 308 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: And when you mix it into the dry lock, which 309 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: is not a base it's a white masonry paint, you 310 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: mix it at half strength and you'll come very very 311 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: close to their color books. So yes, you can mix 312 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: it for sure. 313 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 6: Cool. 314 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 3: All right, great, I appreciate the info.

Just listen to a commercial on chimneys and fireplaces. 373 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: We had a call yesterday and this is it was 374 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,479 Speaker 1: a really good call. It was one I guess maybe 375 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: some of us have that we don't really pay attention 376 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: and we don't know we have it. First of all, 377 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: rule of thumb, I'm professionally inspecting and chimneying of a fireplaces. 378 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: If you burn a cord of wood, you should have 379 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: it inspecting clean annually. Outside of that every two years. 380 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: And this person called and talked about seeing an efflorescence. 381 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: What is efflorescence? That fluorescence is a chalky, salty crystal 382 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: that is usually on the surface of a cementatious product 383 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: or substrate. So the brick, the mortar, maybe if you 384 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: have block on the inside of the chimney, that crystallization 385 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: and beyond that, and it's caused by water reacting with 386 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: lime and salts in the masonry surface. And you might 387 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: be thinking, big deal, you know, big deal. You know 388 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 1: it's the block of the chimney that's in the attic 389 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: or something, who cares, or it's outside. Man, it doesn't 390 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: look real good. But really it's a little bit of 391 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: a red flag that you should dig a little deeper, 392 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: especially if you're using that fireplace. I have said for years, 393 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: and I think you'll agree with me, is water is 394 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: the number one enemy in your home, even if it's 395 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: just a little efflorescence on this. So for the brick, 396 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: and yeah, you can go to the hardware store. You 397 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: can pick up an effluorescence cleaner. You can clean it 398 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: off and you'll say, well, that wasn't a big deal. 399 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: It'll come back, you'll clean it again. Still not a 400 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: big deal. But really, what it's you know, I always say, 401 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: dig down to the roof, why why is this going on? Well, Garry, 402 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: it's outside that chimney's you know, you say water, it's 403 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: getting wet, it's got a fluorescence on it. True, but 404 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: maybe that water is going inside the chimney, going between 405 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: the liner and the brick. Maybe it is on the 406 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: brick and it really needs to be waterproofed um And 407 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: I didn't say sealed. I said waterproof because you wanted 408 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: to minimize the penetration of the water into the brick, 409 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: but you also wanted to breathe in a exhaust moisture out. 410 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be difficult. I'm just trying to 411 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: show you what else it could be. This is the 412 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: cause at the top of that chimney. I always talk 413 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: about a concrete pad, it's called a crown wash. The 414 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: flu's going up through that like a sidewalk or a driveway. 415 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: Concrete over time will crack. Maybe water's getting down in 416 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: that crack. Maybe it's a bigger problem. Maybe there's a 417 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: gap between the crown wash and the flu and if 418 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: water gets down in between that and then goes through 419 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 1: free stall cycles, maybe we end up with a crack liner, 420 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: which is an expensive repair. But digging down and there's 421 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: so many really, really really good reasons to have a 422 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: chimney inspected and cleaned, and yesterday we even got into 423 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: different degrees of crew so how some are very easily remedied. 424 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: Others look like a black porcelain, that's how glazed it is, 425 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: and it can catch fire and it could crack a liner. 426 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: So I bring this up because probably people listening right now, 427 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: you may have some people that have just bought the 428 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: house and have not had it inspected, and you get 429 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,479 Speaker 1: to the holidays, and who doesn't want a nice cozy 430 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: fire in the fireplace. Don't do that until you've had 431 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: it inspected, or maybe you've lived in that house and 432 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: you burn wood occasionally. It's been ten years since anybody 433 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: took a look at that fireplace. Yeah, I wouldn't. I 434 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't use it until you really know it's usable, that 435 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: it's in good repair, because you're you're really not going 436 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 1: to see where the problem is. Maybe up in that 437 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: chimney it may have a crack liner and there may 438 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: be really third degree kreisode on there, and if that 439 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: catches fire, your house is vulnerable. Not trying to scare it, 440 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: just trying to tell you when things need maintenance. It's 441 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: easy when you know your snowblower needs maintenance because it 442 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: won't start. You can't see some other things that need maintenance, 443 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 1: or a drain pipe that no longer drains. You got 444 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: to do something then, But with a chimney, maybe you 445 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,199 Speaker 1: just can't tell. That's why you need to have it inspected. 446 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: All right. Our phone numbers eight hundred eight two three 447 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: eight two five five. Kevin, welcome, Hi Gary, love your show. 448 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 7: You help me out all the time. 449 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: Thank you. 450 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 7: I have a water heater left your water heater, and 451 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 7: every time I try to drain it get the hardness 452 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 7: out of it, it seems to take a day from 453 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 7: the water to come out of this tang. I just 454 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 7: can't figure out what it is I'm doing wrong. 455 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 3: It just doesn't drain out in. 456 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: An hour mm hm. And so you're shutting off all 457 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: the valves and doing all that and it's just not 458 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: coming out of the bottom drain very fast? 459 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 8: Correct? 460 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 4: Correct? 461 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: All right? You know one of the cheapest valves made 462 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: are usually on everybody's water heater. I mean they're terrible. 463 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: They're they're usually made it like nylon plastic. And what 464 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: I would do is my guess is, Kevin, is a 465 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: lot of the hard water deposits and this is actually 466 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: kind of a common complaint. As you're draining it to 467 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: get rid of the hard water deposits, those hard water 468 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: deposits start clogging up. 469 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 3: That that. 470 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: That pipe or that valve, and it starts it impedes 471 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: to flow water, so it's a trickle whereas it should 472 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: come out like a lawn faucet, and it's not because 473 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: there's so much debris in there. So what I would do, Kevin, 474 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: is go ahead and let drain for all day or 475 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: a half a day. Let's get all that water out 476 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: of there, and let's take that valve off and get 477 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: yourself a nice brass stainless steel ball valve and just 478 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: with a lever handle and open that up, maybe even 479 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: turn the water on, flush that thing out the best 480 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: we can. Kind of try to start over, if you will, 481 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: and I think you'll find the drainage mechanism is going 482 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: to be a lot better on a ball valve because 483 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: what a ball valve does is it's a round ball. 484 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: But when you turn it in an open position, that 485 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: whole size is the size of the pipe. So water, 486 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: even when there's more sediment in there, flows easier than 487 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: the type of valve they put on those water heres. 488 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 7: Great job, thank what I need to do. 489 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: Gary, I appreciate it, all right, Kevin, thank you, take care, 490 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: bye bye. All right, let me give you that phone 491 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: number once again. It's eight hundred eight two three eight 492 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: two five five. Those lines are open, and that always 493 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: opens up the question, doesn't it. Do I need to 494 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: drain that water heater every year? And that's always a 495 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: trick question for me to answer. If you just bought 496 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: the water heater or just had that water here installed 497 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: in the last year, my answer is, yes, yeah, drain it. 498 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: Go ahead, flush that out. That'd be good. If you 499 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: haven't done it for eight years. Should I drain that 500 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: water here? My quick answer is probably not. The sentiment 501 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: that's built up in that water heater may be holding 502 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: that water heater together. Now it's like a rock, you 503 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: know the old adages. Uh. You know, it takes one 504 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: person to get a new water heater down in your basement, 505 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: and takes two or three people to get the old 506 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: one out because it's full of sediment. There's a rock 507 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: at the bottom of that and so it's very heavy. 508 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: And you know, if you want to take if you 509 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: got an older one and you want to just maybe 510 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: drain two or three gowns off it. See if it's clean, 511 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: See if it's clear. I think that'd be it. Taking 512 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: all of it down though, I just don't think I 513 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: would do that. But it's costing you more. And you 514 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: got to remember that too. I mean, think about it. 515 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: If half that well, that's that might be an exaggeration. 516 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: Let's say twenty percent of that tank has got calcium 517 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: carbonate rock in the base of that thing, and you're 518 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: heating it either with electricity propane gas. You gotta heat 519 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: that rock up first, all right, and a lot of 520 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: times to let you know that there's a lot of 521 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: sediment in there. You seem to be running out of 522 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: water faster because it's doesn't hold as much water. So 523 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: again rule tomb, Yeah, clean it every year. Unless it's 524 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: an older water heater, then I'd say big caution there. 525 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: Maybe drain off a couple two three gowns and be 526 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: done with it, or you can get yourself in trouble. 527 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: All right, Well, take a break and Tina, you'll be 528 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: up first.

Okay, Hi, I'm 578 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,359 Speaker 8: trying to powerwa wash my house and the Boston ivy 579 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 8: has left these little sticky feet all over the sidings. 580 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 8: Is there any solution that can kind of dissolve it 581 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 8: or help it come off? 582 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: It's called time time. I don't know of anything including 583 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 1: And first of all, I've had this call off and 584 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: on for years, and I had the problem myself on 585 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: my very first home. I had English ivy all over 586 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 1: the side. Tore it off. It was starting to get 587 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: a little obtrusive, getting underneath metal sighting and everything else, 588 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: and I pulled it off and that started my search 589 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: my quest on how to remove the roots of that 590 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: ivy off brick. And there is nothing, and you cannot 591 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: use things like a wire wheel or a wire brush, er. 592 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: You know, if it's on brick, you would certainly do 593 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:53,720 Speaker 1: damage to that. The craziest thing is Tina and I say, truthfully, time, 594 00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:01,720 Speaker 1: what will happen is those roots that would that woody 595 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 1: material will dehydrate and literally you'll be able to sweep 596 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: it off. 597 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 8: That's kind of what I thought. I'd have to just 598 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 8: kill it off and let it fall off. 599 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, and boy, I have over the years. I've tried 600 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: all kinds of things and had one person say, well, 601 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: get a propane torch and burn it off, and I thought, 602 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm not trying that. But eventually, you know, it's about 603 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: eighteen months it would be dehydrated. I remember one day, 604 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: it's crazy. I went out with a woody street broom 605 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: and just started no cleaner, no nothing, and it just 606 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: started raining like leaves in the fall. It just started 607 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: taking it right off. It was no big deal, but 608 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: it's a big deal right now. So I think I 609 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: would recommend trying to live with it. I've had people 610 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: that actually painted a brick wall to hide it. Don't 611 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: do that unless you wanted painted brick, but you know, 612 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: because it will still dehydrate and it probably caused a 613 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: paint peel. 614 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, it's it's on brick, and it's on vinyl 615 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 8: siding too. I mean, it just sticks to everything right right. 616 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 8: I didn't know if there was anything that would take 617 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 8: it off or not. 618 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: I have found nothing. And if somebody has truly found 619 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,880 Speaker 1: an answer for that, they can certainly share it. But 620 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: I think that the best solution, quite honestly, is time. 621 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 8: Okay, is there anything that kills the ivy. 622 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: Yes, there's a lot of vegetation killers out on the 623 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,959 Speaker 1: market that will take care of it. Now that whole 624 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: game has changed a little bit, so you'll have to 625 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,399 Speaker 1: read labels. I mean, with the roundup issues that it had, 626 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: they have different types of roundup and and it's a 627 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 1: vegetation killer that can be used on IVY and even 628 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: poison ivy, and it will you know, if it's still growing. 629 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: It would take repeated applications. But you know, when I 630 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: did it, I just literally manually. I was young, then 631 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:18,720 Speaker 1: manally just pulled it off the house. The English ivy 632 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: cut it up and then dug the roots out and 633 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: all that. But you can use a vegetation killer for sure. 634 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,839 Speaker 8: I'm afraid if I start pulling it off the house, 635 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 8: it's going to take the vinyl siding off. 636 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: Well, you know what, I'm still thinking about mine, which 637 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: was on brick only. But that's a good concern. I mean, 638 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: that is a good concern. If it's got something to 639 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 1: grip to and it's growing underneath there, I think I 640 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: would probably cut that, you know, even with a pruning 641 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 1: pair of pruning scissors or something along those lines, and 642 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 1: then work on the ivy beneath. And of course, one 643 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: you have cut off the food and moisture supply, that 644 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 1: will die. 645 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 8: Okay, that's awesome. Okay, well, thank you so much. 646 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: You're quite welcome to you to have a good weekend. 647 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,359 Speaker 1: Take care, bye bye. Yeah, that is a challenge. I did. 648 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: I remember all the things that I tried to do. 649 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: I've even even tried, like a in an inconspicuous area, 650 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: which probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, using like 651 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 1: a sanding sponge, trying to sand that out. You're just 652 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 1: not going as long as that thing is gripped into there. 653 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: I just you know, you don't want to use a 654 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: wire brush, you don't want to use a wire wheel. 655 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: You're gonna you're going to compromise that brick and you 656 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:48,320 Speaker 1: run a potential of causing problems. But I said eighteen 657 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: months to two years. It's probably two years. It wasn't. 658 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: I don't think less than that. And it was just 659 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: who knows how long it was like that before I tried. 660 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 1: But it came down to a point where just running 661 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: a stiff scrub brush or stiff street room across that, 662 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: no liquids, no nothing, that it literally just cleaned up beautifully. 663 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: And it was on the side of the house where 664 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,399 Speaker 1: we didn't have to look at it every day. Might 665 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 1: be different if it's right next to the front door, 666 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 1: but it was easy to forget when it was on 667 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: the side of the house, So it wasn't a big 668 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 1: deal for us. But that ivy, there's two schools of 669 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: thought on that. Some people like it and kind of 670 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: a natural radiant barrier for your home in the summertime. 671 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, with those roots, it can 672 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: do damage, especially if the brick becomes or the mortar 673 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 1: becomes soft or cracked and the roots can get down 674 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:58,360 Speaker 1: into the crevices of the mortar. You could end up 675 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: with some damage on that wall. So I'm kind of 676 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: not real pro about that. Some people like to look 677 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 1: that's up to you, but be careful what direction it 678 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 1: can be can cause some issues. Just like when we 679 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: talk about getting rid of molds and mildews on roofs, 680 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 1: that's one thing that's just stain. That's a little cosmetic. 681 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: It's really not doing a whole lot of damage of 682 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,439 Speaker 1: the roof. But if you start having a moss grow 683 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 1: on a shingled roof, that can be a problem because 684 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 1: it too has roots, not as stout as an English 685 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 1: ivy or a Boston ivy, but it does have roots, 686 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:43,399 Speaker 1: and if there's fractures as that asphalt shingle gets older 687 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,439 Speaker 1: and those roots get down in there, it can cause 688 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 1: damage to some roots or some roofs roofing tile and 689 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: asphalt shingles for sure. So I would recommend getting rid 690 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: of that, and even the mold and the mildew, which 691 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:04,280 Speaker 1: I think is and sightly it's an airborne algae spore. 692 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: It goes from house to house and stains those roofs. 693 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: New roofs now have about a ten year warranty on it. 694 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,800 Speaker 1: They got some metal metal fragments in the coatings of 695 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,320 Speaker 1: the shingles which will prevent that for ten years, but 696 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,839 Speaker 1: after that period you might have to clean the roof 697 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: periodically simply by spraying like a wet and forget onto 698 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 1: the surface and no scrubbing. You don't want to do 699 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: that in eliminating that same with the moss. It will 700 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,920 Speaker 1: take care of moss. It may need a second application, 701 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 1: all right. You can join us as we talk about 702 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: your home.
