1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: six forty.

00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: You Welcome home. I am Dean Sharp, the house whisper,

Speaker 2: custom home builder, custom home designer, and your guide to

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: better understanding that place where you live today on the show,

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: it's all your calls. The number to reach me eight

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: three three two Ask Dean A three three the numeral

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: two ask Dean. Let's go back to the phones. Joyce,

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: Welcome home.

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 3: I have a husband who is to sable. He's eighty four,

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: he's house bound. Now I'm the man of the house,

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 3: trying to restore the house or keep it healthy. And

13
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: I've just gotten rid of skunk and now I have

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 3: to work on termites. Now. There are two companies, specific

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: Coast Termite that uses natural supplies and termin X that

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 3: cannot fume because I can't move my hush, but he

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: won't move out of the house. But they will sort

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: of do a chemical. But I'm wondering, is one better

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 3: safer than another?

20
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: Okay, let me try and parse this out. So here's

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: the thing. When it comes to termites, it can be

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: a confusing world out there, and I don't want to

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: zero in on any brand or any particular termite you

24
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: know provider, Okay, exterminating provider. Okay, I'm just going to

25
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: tell you this. Yes, there are companies out there that

26
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: make big claims about all natural termite treatments versus you know,

27
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: and they kind of stake their claim on the idea

28
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: that you know, we use non toxic, you know, all

29
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: natural stuff, and the other guys, you know, use the

30
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: nasty stuff and so and it can all be done.

31
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: So a couple of things. When it comes to termite control,

32
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: it is a toolbox. It's a toolbox. There is no zero,

33
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: no silver bullet out there. I like termite or pest

34
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: control companies that offer me a variety of choices based

35
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: on you know, they've got a lot of tools in

36
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: their toolbox, based on what actually has to happen. Now,

37
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: orange oil. Orange oil is an essential oil. It's extracted

38
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: from oranges. Right, It's got a lot of benefits. You know,

39
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: the toxicity is low, Okay, it is effective against insects

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: besides termites, carpenter ants and beetles and things like that.

41
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 4: Right.

42
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: You don't have to take out items like plants or

43
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: pets from the house. Right, you don't have to leave

44
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: your home. But orange oil. Now there's downside. The downside,

45
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: or I should say the limitations of orange oil is

46
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: that it's localized. Orange oil is a localized treatment. Okay,

47
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: it's not going to affect undetected infestations anywhere. It can

48
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: be expensive the more you treat with orange oil, and

49
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: it doesn't leave any residue behind to speak of, So

50
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: it doesn't offer long lasting after the treatment protection for

51
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: things to prevent things from coming back. Now does that

52
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: mean it's not useful. No, it has its uses. And

53
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: if it's just a localized infestation and we feel like

54
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: we've got control of it, orange oil would be a

55
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: great option for that because it's convenient. But this is

56
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: something actually that happened a while back. I'm reading off

57
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: of a website here that after all of these claims

58
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: for orange oil treatments became so popular, the California Structural

59
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: Pest Control Board reminded gently pest control companies don't confuse

60
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: in misinformed the customers. Orange oil is yet another localized

61
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: treatment tool against the elusive drywood termite. It is not

62
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: an alternative to all encompassing methods of treatment. That's just

63
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: to say, it's just one of the tools in an

64
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: exterminator's tool belt. There are other natural treatments. Some of

65
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: it goes by the brand name Ultraset. Others know it

66
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: as tree bark treatments. But it's a formulation that is

67
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: completely harmless, doesn't leave it any residue, but it actually

68
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: can provide lasting protection. It is a version of a

69
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: substance found in a certain kind of tree bark, the

70
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 2: Rhianna speciosa tree bark, and basically termites like it. They

71
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: eat it and it paralyzes their jaws so that they

72
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: can't eat, and then the entire colony ends up starving

73
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: and boom they go out that way. There are just

74
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: so and then there's tenting treatments, which would mean that

75
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: you guys, yeah, have to protect your valuables and move

76
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: out of the house. And there's also now this is

77
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 2: another thought that you might want to take into concider.

78
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to broadbrush the whole thing. There are

79
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 2: home whole house heat treatments. Heat treatments for insect and infestations. Now,

80
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: what that means is that instead of using a chemical

81
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 2: or a fog to penetrate the walls for the whole house,

82
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: they're going to ask that you guys be out for

83
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 2: the day. They're going to come in in the morning.

84
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: They're going to seal up the house. They're going to

85
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: remove things that can melt at one hundred and thirty

86
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: degrees or so, protect those things like candles and various

87
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: things like that. And then while you're out, just for

88
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: about eight hours, while you're out doing something else for

89
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: that period of time, you're not going to be renting

90
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: a hotel room, they will heat treat the house. In

91
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: other words, they'll raise the overall temperature of the entire house,

92
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: including all the walls and the studs and everything. And

93
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: that raising of the temperature and holding at that level

94
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: for a certain period of time will also kill off

95
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: insects and termites inside. Now, again it doesn't leave a

96
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: residue behind, so it doesn't have a future preventative residual effects.

97
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 2: But it's a way of treating the whole house as

98
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: an alternative to tenting. That doesn't mean that you have

99
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: to move out for three days. So again, everything has

100
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 2: its advantage, everything has its limitation. It's really a question

101
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: of finding and then your case. And here I'm gonna

102
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: leave you with this because then I got to hit

103
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: the road here in your case, Joyce, the advice I'm

104
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: gonna give to you for both this situation and every

105
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 2: other kind of homeowner DIY situation you find yourself in.

106
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: The best thing you can do is to look around,

107
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: find two or three or even four, take your time,

108
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: find four reputable companies, have them all come out and

109
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: give you free estimates and diagnosis. That way, you're getting

110
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 2: a sense of everything that everyone is offering. And I

111
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: believe most of the time, not always, but most of

112
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: the time, you'll start to see a consent this form.

113
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 2: You'll start to see two or three of these companies say,

114
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 2: you know what, you really can handle this, look, I

115
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: think your problem is localized or you're going to find

116
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: two or three of them was kind of shaking their heads, thinking, wow,

117
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: you know it really would be best to tent this

118
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: place and then look at your alternatives. So, whether it's

119
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: this or calling the plumber or calling a carpenter or whatever,

120
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: two three, sometimes even four free estimates to give yourself

121
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: the info you need to make the decision.

122
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: Tina, I have to thank you, and I have to

123
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: just insert I listened to you all the time, and

124
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: up until listening to you I've done everything wrong. I

125
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: gave one person come out, charm me shine a contract

126
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 3: and then know what I'm doing. So I'm learning every

127
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: day from you, and I appreciate it. I've already got

128

Speaker 3: three I'm going to go for number four, and you've

129
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: helped me already make a decision. So I can't thank

130
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: you enough.

131
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,480

Speaker 2: the house Whisper. The house Whisper here to help you

137
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: take your home to the next level. It's an all

138
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: calls show today. Let's get back to the phones. Let's

139
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: talk to Perry. Hey, Perry, welcome home.

140
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 5: So I do have a fireplace question. A couple of

141
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 5: years ago, I had a wood burning insert installed in

142
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 5: my traditional fireplace and it does a great efficient job

143
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 5: of burning wood and heating. But the problem is that

144
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 5: heat is just concentrated in that one room, which happens

145
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 5: to be in the den, which is the farthest corner

146
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 5: of the house. So I'm I would love to be

147
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 5: able to circulate that heat throughout the rest of the house.

148
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 5: What I've been doing is I'll run my circulation fan

149
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 5: on my HVAC. But I found I really have to

150
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 5: build up quite a bit of heat in that room

151
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 5: in order for to reach that intake vent, and it

152
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 5: does a decent job. But what I would really like

153
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 5: to be able to do, and I don't know if

154
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 5: it's even legal or possible, is extend the intake vent

155
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 5: with a duck to in the den above the fireplace,

156
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 5: so that way I could more efficiently circulate that extra

157
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 5: heat throughout the house.

158
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 2: Okay, very creative thinking. And so let me give you

159
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: a couple of guidelines there. So, just so everybody knows,

160
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: an insert that you place into a wood burning and

161
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: already woodburning fireplace, a wood burning insert is basically kind

162
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: of turning your open hearth fireplace into a wood stove.

163
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: And woodstoves are so much more heat efficient than the

164
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: way that they handle heat than an open hearth fireplace.

165
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: And so that's what Perry has done, and he's getting

166
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: plenty of heat in the room, but not in the

167
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: rest of the house. So here are a couple of things.

168
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: Number One, I am not a aware of any wood

169
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: burning inserts that are predesigned to have ducting and venting

170
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: coming directly off of them, So that's one thing they

171
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: might be out there. I'm not aware of it myself.

172
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: I could see some problems with that, But when it

173
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 2: comes to fumes and exhaust and those kinds of issues.

174
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: Number two, if you want to creatively bring your HVAC

175
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: ducting over nearer the fireplace where the heat is rising

176
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: and have a fan unit tied in there, I don't

177
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: think there are any codes against that, as long as

178
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 2: in no way you are touching heat that wood burning fireplace.

179
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: In other words, those ducks cannot get intimately involved with it.

180
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: If it's just a matter of reconfiguring ducts in a room,

181
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 2: that's one thing, and nobody's going to give you any

182
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: guff for that. There aren't any code issues with just

183
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: rearranging where ducts and fans are located in your house

184
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: when it comes to that. But do not think of

185
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 2: tying ducting into in any way directly into the wood

186
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: burning unit, because then you get into a whole slew

187
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 2: of issues. Like I said, with chemical exhaust, gaseous exhaust

188
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: and the like. The other thing that I would tell

189
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 2: you though, in lieu of that is there are many

190
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: companies that make direct vent sealed combustion chamber fireplaces now

191
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: that are completely legal in every state including California, completely

192
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 2: sealed off gas inserts that could work inside that as well.

193
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: Those many of them are pre designed to be able

194
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 2: to have small heating ducts extended off them. They can

195
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: come with kits with blowers and with ducts that will

196
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: actually allow you, if you've got a place to run

197
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: these ducks a chase to run them will allow you

198
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: to actually do excs exactly what I said not to

199
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: do with your wood burning unit, which is run those

200
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: ducks up through and into various other rooms as direct

201
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: heat ducts into other rooms. Okay, those are out there now.

202
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: Whether you're going to find one that fits your fireplace

203
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 2: directly or whether there have to be some modifications, that's

204
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: an issue that gets into the weeds that we can't

205
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: cover while we're on the phone together. But I will

206
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 2: tell you there are direct vent sealed combustion chamber fireplaces.

207
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: I believe Napoleon makes some. I know Majestic. The company

208
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: Majestic makes some that will actually allow you to duct

209
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: out of that firebox into other rooms and they're set

210
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: up specifically for that, so you know there are a

211
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: couple of options for you very good.

212
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 5: What I'm looking at doing is, see, the fireplace is

213
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 5: in a corner and the heat is concentrated right in

214
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 5: that corner. There currently is an HVAC outlet vent above

215
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 5: that fire place, and I'm thinking to what could I

216
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 5: just put an intake vent up above that in the

217
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 5: ceiling and then run a duct over to my HVACTE

218
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 5: intake and then just draw that excess heat that's building

219
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 5: up there and circulated throughout the house using my fan.

220
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's a very creative idea.

221
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: You'd basically be turning that outlet duct into a return

222
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 2: air vent. Yeah, bring that to the like a return

223
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 2: air You would bring that into the return air planum

224
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: on your unit and then recirculate through that through the house.

225
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: And that might actually work well. And like I said,

226
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: if you don't make contact with the fireplace, you should

227
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: be in good shape with that. I don't see any

228
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: reasons why code wise, at least it shouldn't work for

229
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 2: you and be completely legal and approved. Perry, Thank you

230
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: so much. For your call, buddy. Very very interesting question

231
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 2: and good thinking in terms of getting creative with distributing

232
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: heat through the house. All right, more great stuff on

233
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: the way. You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp, the

239
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones. Pat Hey, Pat, welcome home.

240
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 6: My house is built in nineteen twenty two and it

241
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 6: had the original oak flours, so twenty years ago and

242
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 6: we had the house remodeled. We pulled up the carpet

243
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 6: and they were like now so they charaxum and they're

244
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 6: just beautiful. So now it's been a while, so I

245
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 6: took TSP. I thought it's time to clean them. Took

246
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 6: TSP in. It took off the old sharak. But now

247
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 6: when I go to the home depot, it seems like

248
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 6: the new charrak are just water based and there's nothing

249
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 6: to them. What can I use that's really strong to

250
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 6: chirac my floors because I want to preserve them as

251
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 6: long as possble. And the hall takes a beating out

252
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 6: of traffic. So what do you recommend to use for

253
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 6: sharak for covering coating?

254
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I got you no more Shillac on your floor,

255
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 2: and that's fine. Believe me, it's totally fine. What you

256
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: want now, don't be afraid of what you find at

257
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: the store. But here, I want you to go to

258
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: a good flooring store and I want you to get

259
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 2: a high quality flooring grade polyurethane. Poly Polyurethane is essentially

260
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: a plastic coating. Doesn't matter that it's water based, doesn't

261
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: you know that's not that's a non issue. And we're

262
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: going to put at least three to four coats down

263
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: now if you do. If you want to show the

264
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: floor is super shiny, then you go with a normal polyurethane.

265
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: If you want them to have that very old world

266
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: a little bit matte just satiny finish, which I love

267
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: so much because I think it shows off an old

268
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: world flow, so well, then you're gonna want a satin finish,

269
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: just a satin finish on the poly your athane, and

270
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: you're going to want it, Like I said, put down

271
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: to three four coats, even more in high traffic areas

272
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: if you want not a problem. But polyurethane flooring grade

273
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: and you'll be able to do that to your floors

274
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: and it'll be years before you have to redo it. Hey, al,

275
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: welcome home.

276
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 4: Good morning. I am tired of having my blinds closed,

277
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 4: so I want to open my blinds, put some window

278
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 4: tinting on, but still keep the UV out to keep

279
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 4: the house cool and not be bleaching out my carpet

280
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 4: and the furniture. Yep. Okay, what sort of recommendations would

281
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 4: you have?

282
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: Well, a couple of things. Number one, how old are

283
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: your windows? Do you have dual glaze windows? Do you

284
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: have single pane windows? What's going on with your windows?

285
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 4: Dual glaze? Twenty years old, two story, trapped house.

286
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: Okay, so twenty year old windows, so that's two and five. Okay,

287
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: so those are gonna be yeah, okay, So your dual

288
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: glaze windows, by the way, have the coatings on them

289
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 2: necessary to block out most harmful UV that's coming in

290
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 2: through the window, Just so you know, you know right

291
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 2: up front that was code. Then those coatings have improved,

292
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: They keep improving. But what doesn't keep improving. But that

293
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: doesn't mean that those windows are by any way junk.

294
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: They are in they've got good, good coatings on them,

295
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 2: blocking most of the UV that is coming in that

296
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: would bleach a floor, bleach furniture, so on and so forth.

297
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: So number one, let's just know that we're not starting

298
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: with a bad windows situation to begin with. Secondly, yeah,

299
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 2: a little bit more privacy at home during the day.

300
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: I just want to be clear during the day. Okay,

301
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 2: tinting you can do tinting that does everything from just

302
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: adding a little bit more UV protection. You can do

303
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: tinting that gives your windows fire proofing protection, not in

304
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 2: the sense of making them a fire rated window, but

305
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 2: there are there are tint films that you can put

306
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: on the inside of windows that if a fire actually

307
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: arrives at the outside of the window and causes that

308
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: standard window glass to shatter, the film is fire resistant

309
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: and will hold that shattered glass in place, much much

310
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: like the film that's hidden inside your car windshield. It

311
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: will hold the glass in place so that it doesn't

312
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 2: become an opening for flames to lick up into the house.

313
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 2: So those are those films are out there, and then

314
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 2: you've got every layer and every consideration of tinting, from

315
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 2: heavy tinting all the way up to just barely anything

316
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: all the way up to just full on mirror tinting

317
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: on the outside. They also provide privacy the heavier ones

318
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 2: and the mirror codings during the day, but they will

319
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: not provide privacy at night when the only light source

320
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 2: is coming from the inside of the house out then

321
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: people are just still gonna be able to see in

322
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 2: through the window. So if privacy is a factor, just

323
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: know you can get more privacy during the day with

324
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 2: the blinds up, but not at night, not when you're

325
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 2: the source of the light going outside. If it's just

326
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: about knocking down harsh sunlight, though, you have a lot

327
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: of options, and I would go with a reputable company

328
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: that installs reputable products like three M products. Three M

329
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,959
Speaker 2: is pretty much the tip of the sphere when it

330
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: comes to these window tinting products. They have done the

331
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: most research, They've got the best products out there. You

332
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: know their name, they have an excellent reputation. You can

333
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 2: go on the three M website and actually look at

334
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 2: ten films that are available and see, you know, all

335
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 2: the ones that they offer and that they sell both

336
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 2: retail and wholesale. But I think al it's really a

337
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 2: matter of you know, kind of figuring out how much

338
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 2: you want and exactly what you want it for. I

339
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 2: want to recommend the least possible that you can get

340
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: away with to keep you happy, because I don't want

341
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 2: the I mean, some of these tints can actually make

342
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 2: the inside of the room really really dark. I mean

343
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 2: they're pretty heavy tinted. Don't just jump to the heaviest one,

344
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 2: especially if what you're looking for is less heat and

345
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: more light inside the room.

346
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 4: Ceramic versus metallic.

347
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: What was Adam?

348
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 4: Sorry, what do you think about ceramic for his metallic coatings?

349
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 2: Or yeah, yeah, the ceramic versus the metallic coatings. I

350
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 2: have found the ceramics and we've just had a lot

351
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 2: of good luck with them. The metallics, they're highly reflective,

352
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: but they they tend to build up heat and I've

353
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: seen them actually bubble more than the ceramics have. The

354
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 2: ceramics tend to just be a better tinting quality, less

355
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: mirror reflective, and we find less future bubbling. Because it's

356
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 2: always the risk with tinting. You got to have it

357
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: installed really well so that you don't end up with

358
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: that You know that guy that you followed on the

359
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 2: freeway who tinted his windows like four years ago, and

360
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: now it's just a series of air bubbles. And you

361
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: don't want that for your home, clearly, because this stuff

362
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 2: isn't necessarily cheap, but it's a good way to go.

363
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 2: So that's what I would recommend now, and good luck

364
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: with that. Thanks for the call. More of your calls

365
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,280

368
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 2: we're doing today by going to the phones. Let's get

369
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: back to them. Hey, Debbie, welcome.

370
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 3: Home, Yes, sir.

371
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 7: A couple of years ago we purchased an HVAC unit

372
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 7: because the other one had seen its better days and

373
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 7: it is under warranty. But a few days ago the

374
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 7: fan was working with the the system was not coming

375
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 7: on the compressor and it is under warranty, so that's

376
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 7: not the problem. But the intercal.

377
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 6: Was going to be.

378
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 7: Well. It needed to be replaced. The guy couldn't couldn't

379
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 7: explain to me why the dang thing had happen so quickly,

380
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 7: you know, So I was just wondering, I mean, is

381
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 7: that sort of thing common.

382
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good question.

383
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 7: I mean, it really ticks me off. What a best.

384
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: You know they're.

385
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 7: Working, but you know, it's terrible when you don't have

386
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 7: cool air.

387
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 2: I know, I know it's the worst, especially when we're

388
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 2: right in the thick of it. Not only just cool air,

389
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: but the fact of the matter is that air conditioning

390
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 2: dehumidifies the air and so when it's when when it's

391
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 2: warm and sticky outside, man, that's when we need the

392
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 2: AC more than ever. Have they got it fixed for you, Debbie?

393
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 2: Just curious?

394
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 7: He said the part was going to take about a

395
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 7: ten day timeframe, and I'll, oh, oh, it's in the

396
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 7: matter unit. I was, I don't even know where they're headquarters,

397
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 7: but about ten days, man, I mean, they only get

398
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 7: to think is that it's underworking. But you know, I

399
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 7: can't explain to me why that would have happened so closely.

400
00:23:53,119 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, okay, So here's the thing. HVAC systems. And

401
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna throw shade on anybody here, but I'm

402
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 2: just telling you the truth. An HVAC system it's a

403
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 2: very complex piece of equipment. It may be, in fact,

404
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: the most complex piece of equipment that you own. For

405
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 2: your home, a lot of moving parts, a lot of

406
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 2: things going on there to create modern day refrigeration, very

407
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 2: very complex systems. And every once in a while, depending

408
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 2: on your brand too, but because there are some brands

409
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: that are a little more dependable than others. But every

410
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: once in a while, the fact, Jannet just like a

411
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: car that you know, that car manufacturer that produces thousands

412
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 2: and thousands of dependable cars, and all of a sudden

413
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 2: one comes out of the factory and for one reason

414
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: or another, it's sort of a lemon. Okay, And I'm

415
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 2: not saying yours is not saying yours is a lemon.

416
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: In other words, that it's that it's got a whole

417
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 2: systemic thing breaking down. But yeah, every once in a while,

418
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 2: even on a brand new unit, you find out something

419
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 2: went wrong and and something needs to be replaced. Now

420
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 2: hopefully you're HVAC guys competent and he's on top of

421
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: it and and uh, it's going to get it changed

422
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: out for you as soon as possible so that you're

423
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: up and running again. But yeah, it's very frustrating because

424
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: they're not cheap. They're not cheap at all to replace

425
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: your air conditioning. And when it's new, just a couple

426
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 2: of years old. Man, that's frustrating, especially when it breaks

427
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: down right in the middle of summertime. So yeah, it's

428
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 2: a it's a it's a tough road, uh, And I

429
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 2: feel for you. And also, though I just want to

430
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: for everybody who's listening, I also want to encourage that

431
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: when it comes to HVAC, finding the right installer is

432
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 2: a huge, hugely important thing, way more important than you

433
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: might think, because an HVAC system is yes, there's a

434
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 2: lot of equipment, yes there it's all factory made equipment.

435
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: But it's not like buying a new refrigera where you

436
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 2: just pull the other one out and you know, put

437
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 2: it up on Facebook marketplace to sell and just slide

438
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 2: a new one in, plug it in, and you throw

439
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: all the sandwiches in there, and you're good to go.

440
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: An HVAC system has to be has to be really

441
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: mated with the house, and that's all about the installer, Okay.

442
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: And a great installer can install a you know, relatively

443
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: average system and it'll last for you know, a couple

444
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 2: of decades, and a poor install can put a lot

445
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 2: of pressure on even a pop notch piece of equipment.

446
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 2: And have it go bad prematurely. Now, I'm not saying

447
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 2: that it's a bad install that made your unit go

448
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 2: out in just two years. That's not that doesn't happen. Okay,

449
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 2: So again I'm not throwing shade on your installer, but

450
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: I'm just letting everybody know vetting the install is as

451
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: important as finding the right unit to put in your home.

452
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: But every once in a while, it's true, Debbie, there

453
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: are lemons out there and U or something goes wrong

454
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: and I'm very very sorry, and I hope that.

455
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 7: The gas in there, but he shaid it was proble

456
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 7: rest and it went out after it one and a

457
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 7: half days.

458
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, so that's the problem. There's there's a defect

459
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 2: in the coil obviously, because the coil and the copper

460
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 2: lines that's where the refrigerant goes, and the refrigerant should

461
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 2: be go in there and last four years. In fact,

462
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 2: in theory, refrigerant should never leave an HCA system HVAC system.

463
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,479
Speaker 2: So so the idea that he put the refrigerant in

464
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 2: and it was and it bled out in in a

465
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 2: couple of days. Yeah, definitely there's something wrong with the

466
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: coil and it and it needs replacing, and I'm sure

467
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 2: he's going to get it handled for you. And I

468
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 2: hope the part comes in sooner than later. Yeah, sooner

00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 2: than later. Where are you at, Debbie? Where you at?

Speaker 7: You know, it's not in the hot night. It's it's

474
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 7: kind of mid eighties and you know some I'm looking

476
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,719
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, what's the humidity set out today?

477
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 7: Not un was sure?

478
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, see, I mean mid eighties, that's fine, but if

479
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: you know, if it's like seventy percent humidity, then yeah.

480
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,479
Speaker 4: It probably is.

481
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well.

482
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 7: Wi you take care hot air, you.

483
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, you take care and let me let me

484
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: let me give you a tip. I'm gonna give you

485
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: a tip about those fans too. Okay, don't just blow

486
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 2: air around the room, all right, because fans don't cool

487
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 2: the air, they cool human beings. And so make sure

488
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 2: you've got a fan on that it's pointed straight at you. Okay,

489
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 2: moving air around the room, you can have. You could

490
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: have ten fans in the room just circulating the air.

491
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: It's not going to get much done. Fans are all

492
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 2: about cooling us via the evaporative concept of blowing air

493
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: across our skin and having the moisture and our bodies

494
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: evaporate quicker. So if anybody, Debbie and anybody else is

495
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: struggling with the ac right now and using fans to

496
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 2: try and cool off, just make sure the fans are

497
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: pointed at the people in the room, because that's how

498
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 2: you're going to stay cooler with the fans. Okay, Debbie,

499
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: you hang in there, my friend, and thank you for
