It's eight hundred 11 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: eighty two eight two five five David. 12 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: Welcome, Hey Gary sir for sharing all your wisdom and knowledge. 13 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: I thank you. 14 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 2: A stainless steel under mount sink, you know, connected to 15 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 2: the quartz or quartzite uh as best I can tell 16 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: that there's a seal of calk there that looks sealed, 17 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: but it's I continue to get mold in certain spots 18 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 2: in that calk. I'm just wondering, do I need to 19 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: like clear all that out and recok or can I 20 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 2: calk over it? 21 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: What's your I wish I could tell you can calk 22 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: over it, but you won't accomplish anything with that. You're 23 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: going to have to get that beat out. Where where 24 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: is the beat of calking that you're seeing. It's underneath 25 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: the chemistry. 26 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: It is, it's it's well, it's underneath the quartz countertop. Yeah, 27 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: and you know touching the I mean again, it looks 28 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: sealed on the stainless still sync but it just I 29 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: can spray you know, clorox or something, you know, some 30 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: kind of bleach cleaner there. It will go away for 31 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: a little bit but always comes back. 32 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: Well that's kind of telling me something too, though. If 33 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: it's underneath the cock or behind the cock, that bleach 34 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't get to the mold. So somehow, because I was 35 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: going to say the even the if it's if it's 36 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: behind the calking, it's it's there's something with the coking 37 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: that's allowed moisture get behind it. And if you're spraying 38 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: it with bleach and it's behind that, bleach is getting 39 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: behind it too and getting to the mold. So yeah, 40 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: it's kind of telling me it is behind the calking 41 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: and it isn't sealed properly to keep moisture out of there, 42 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: you wouldn't be able to eliminate it. Now, if it's 43 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: on the surface in your spray bleach and it goes away, 44 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: well that could be true too. So it sounds to 45 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: me that the best deal is probably to get it 46 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: out of there. Yeah, but you know, depending on the 47 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: type of calking they use, David, it may not be 48 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: a picnic. If it's a silicone, which it usually is, 49 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: it'll be challenging to get that all removed right right, 50 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: you know, you'll get some of it removed, but you 51 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: got to get in their words, where it's a crevice. 52 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: Calocking is applied to connect to two points, so the 53 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: backside of the countertop and the bowl. It's not necessarily 54 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: designed to fill up the whole crevice, so you know, 55 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: I would I would probably get a razor blade, maybe 56 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: a hooked knife, get as much of that out as 57 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: you can, get some rubbing out alcohol, get it in there, 58 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: and make sure we killed the uh, the molds in 59 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: the mildew, and then I would, uh, you know, probably 60 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: you can either use a silicone or if you can 61 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: get an acrylic siliconized calcking, that's going to be a 62 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: little bit easier to apply. Not as durable as silicone, 63 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: but it'll you know, it's not like it's holding everything 64 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: together anymore. You're never going to get all that removed, 65 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: but get as much of it as you can. 66 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 3: Gotcha, all right, thanks so much, Gary, all. 67 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: Right, you bet, thank you. Take care. I'm having a 68 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: little issue now too. I haven't really investigated it. I 69 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: got a same same setup you know you got. Granted, 70 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: you got an under under mounted stainless steel pul h 71 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: bowl which I'm guessing, like I said, I haven't looked 72 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: at it. I'm guessing there is a silicone calking and 73 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: then there's a rubber rise gasket between the bowl and 74 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: the UH and the granite countertop. And there's about an 75 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: inch of that gasket now that is pulled away and 76 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: hanging down in I was gonna snip that. Well, I'm 77 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: not gonna do anything to really get into seeing what's 78 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: going on, but I was thinking of ways to remy 79 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: that is, maybe to snip it and then just get 80 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 1: some clear silicone underneath there to just make sure water's 81 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: not It's way above the water line, so it's not 82 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: gonna be like emptying it into the cabinet tree. But 83 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, you don't like that little black gasket seal 84 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: kind of hanging down, So I got to do a 85 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: little bit more looking to the seat. Which way I'm 86 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: going with that? All right? If you'd like to jump 87 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: on board, there's a spot for you again. It's eight 88 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: hundred eighty two three A two five five ron Welcome. 89 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 4: Good morning, Gary morning. I have a question. I have 90 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 4: a about a fifty thigh year old stone driveway and 91 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 4: a turnaround, and I believe I would like to check 92 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 4: into getting rid of the stone and using asphalt other 93 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 4: than you know, the standard questions for a contractor about 94 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 4: references and things like that. Are there any asphalt specific 95 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 4: questions I should ask? 96 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: Well? Yeah, I mean I think he's going to answer 97 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: once he gives you a bid, it's going to be 98 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: specd out on exactly how he's going to install that. 99 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: He's you know, I don't know what kind of gravel 100 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: or stone you have there. I'm just you know, there 101 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: may be a need to remove that and put a 102 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: different base down. It's going to come into play whether 103 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: it's a two inch, three inch or four inch base. 104 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: I'm just curious. I would get a couple of bids 105 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: and compare the bids, because you know, it's an investment 106 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: and I want to make sure you know it's it's 107 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: done properly. And then how thick of an asphalt topping 108 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: is going to be put on top of that base. 109 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure you want at least, you know, two inches. 110 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: I would probably look up the specifications for asphalt driveways, 111 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna guess four inch three to four inch 112 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: base and uh, you know, two inch base of asphalt 113 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: kind of doing that at the top of my head ron, 114 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: but I think I'm close. I don't know if I'm 115 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: right on the number. And then he's probably going to 116 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: tell you not to seal it for a year or 117 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: two and I would listen to them. And that's I 118 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: think about it for asphalt. 119 00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 5: Okay, Now at the at the garage, there's no apron, 120 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 5: and to me, it seemed like it would be wise 121 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 5: to put in a drain there that is. 122 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 4: Equal to the woods and regard story, just. 123 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: So you could put a curtain drain in there. Sure 124 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: you could put a curtain drain in there, and again 125 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: you know he can also contour that too, and again 126 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: that's where you know it's going to be the lay 127 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: of the land and how things look. But obviously you 128 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: want to make sure the fall is away from that 129 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: garage and if it's going to be difficult to do 130 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: that a curtain drain, would you know satisfy that need? 131 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 4: Okay, thank you, I appreciate your input. 132 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: All right, good luck should look great.

Spent a little 178 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: time talking about cleaning up the outside of our home, 179 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: which is refreshing. It wasn't too long ago we were 180 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: talking about ice dams and uh, all kinds of problems 181 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: with snow. Had a lot of rain where I'm at. 182 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if flooding was an issue in your area, 183 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: but certainly looking at ground water and grating is certainly key. 184 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: In the next month or so, we'll talk a lot 185 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: about that. Dry basements and cross space is very important 186 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: to a healthy home. All right, let's go to Matt. 187 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 7: Matt, Welcome, Hi Gary, thanks for taking my call. My 188 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:28,119 Speaker 7: question is I have a three hundred square foot balcony 189 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 7: of the off of my house. It is covered, it 190 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 7: currently has tile on it. It was never sealed correctly, 191 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 7: so the tiles are popping up and cracking. So we're 192 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 7: going to take the tile off and I want to 193 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 7: waterproof the concrete. My question is this, and talking to 194 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 7: some contractors either using the shlooter membrane, the water proofing 195 00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 7: system under that tile, or a liquid call hydroband, do 196 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 7: you have a recommendation or do you know of. 197 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: I think that my Saluter product is really awesome. When 198 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: you said seiler, I kind of cringed a little bit. 199 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: To be honest with you, not to knock that other 200 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: product because I'm not that familiar with it. Okay, but 201 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: I am familiar with a shlooter system, and I'm assuming 202 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: you're going with a porcelain tile on it correct. Yeah, 203 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: I think I I I'll vouch for the shlooter system 204 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: and the other system. The ceiling that you're talking about 205 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: may be great. I'm just not that familiar with it. Matt. Okay, 206 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: and I just don't want to give an opinion on it, 207 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: but the shlooter system with porcelain tile should be outstanding. 208 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 7: And would you use or recommend a POxy grout versus 209 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 7: any other kind of grout to help also with the waterproofing. 210 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, a POxy grout is is very good. I mean 211 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: you've got seilers out there now that'll give you fifteen 212 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: years worth of a grout seiler, and you probably got 213 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: a relatively small grout line. I'm guessing maybe eighth inch 214 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: or something, or probably a bigger net. 215 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 7: Is a bigger net or no, no, no, it's it's it's 216 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 7: about an eighth. 217 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: So you would use non sandy grout, Is that what 218 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: they're telling you? 219 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 7: Well, one contractor said you need to use a POxy grout, 220 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 7: So we have we haven't decided yet. 221 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, to answer your question, if you look at 222 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: water penetration with just and a sanded grout means it's 223 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: just for grout lines that are three sixteenths and wider 224 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: for sandy grout. Non sandy ground is just a thinner 225 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: grade of grout, smaller grout line and if you put 226 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: it's probably got about a three percent absorption rate. And 227 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: if you seal it it's probably one and a half 228 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: half absorption rate. If you do in a POxy ground, 229 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: it's less than one percent, So that would be the 230 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: ultimate to use. But on the other hand, if you 231 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: didn't want to use that for whatever reason, you can 232 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: get some groud sailers now that has minimal absorption. Like 233 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: I just said, you know, one one and a half percent, 234 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: and you know, it's got a fifteen year lifespan unless 235 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: it's a real sunny location. 236 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 7: No, okay, it's not. 237 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 6: It's a cover. 238 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 7: It's covered, and it's you know, that's okay. Yeah. We 239 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 7: we have had a bathroom done with the shlooter. Absolutely 240 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 7: love it. Never you know, did anything outside with it, 241 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 7: you know, for this balcony implication. And then this other 242 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 7: name of hydroband liquid came up. It looks like it 243 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 7: gets really good reviews, but I just didn't know anything 244 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 7: about it. So that was the reason for my car. 245 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think with the shooter yeah yeah, yeah. 246 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of even nanosilers out there now 247 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: that are really good. I mean that stuff may be great. 248 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm just more familiar with the shlooter. 249 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 7: Yep. Okay, all right, thanks for your information. I appreciate it. 250 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: You're quite welcome. Thank you. Matt. Take care a good point. 251 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: So when you think what the shlooter is, it's actually 252 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: a membrane that the tile is put on, so it 253 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: does multiple things. It makes it easier. You would still 254 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: level it underneath, but it's kind of like if you 255 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: were going to use back in the day, maybe you 256 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: had to use like in a kitchen, you'd use some 257 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: min board and a lot of times when you got 258 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: outside you just put a seiler in the concrete and 259 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: you just go ahead and put your towel on top 260 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: of it. But with that shlooter, it's kind of created 261 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: this membrane which if there is stress, it's kind of 262 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: absorbing that stress, so your tiles last longer. I think 263 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: it'd be a great, great place for it. All right, 264 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna tell you one thing before we get to 265 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: Mark and Harold. I've been talking about.

Got a question. 338 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 7: We built a. 339 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 9: Home back in twenty twenty two and finished the basement 340 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 9: and made the mistake of not roughing in a bathroom. 341 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 9: So now we have a finished basement that we want 342 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 9: to add a bathroom too. My question is there's a 343 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 9: couple of clean out plugs, if you will, or drains 344 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 9: near the base of the floor. Are those able to 345 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,719 Speaker 9: be tied in to add a bathroom around that area? 346 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: So is the drain pipe itself? Is that below the 347 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: concrete or it's playing on the surface of the concrete. 348 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 9: Well, it's actually above it on the wall. 349 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: Oh okay, No, I would I think you have a 350 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: couple of choices, but that's probably not one of them. 351 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: The first choice would be to, you know, get it 352 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: down below the floor level, so you would cut the concrete, 353 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 1: cut the pipe and tie it in there with your 354 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: flang and pipe and all that, or probably the easiest 355 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: thing to do. Have you thought about using like an 356 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: upflush toilet? 357 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 9: I know you've mentioned that before, and I was trying 358 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 9: to think of the name of the company that did 359 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 9: that for many years. 360 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, so what I would do? So the company 361 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,959 Speaker 1: that there's several that make them, I mean Liberty makes them. 362 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: The one I talk about all the time is zalor 363 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: you know, it's z O E L L E R. 364 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: I think it's called quick quick John is the name 365 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: of it. What it does is it'll hold the waste 366 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: and it's a grinder pump, and then it injects it 367 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: into the line because you know what what when you 368 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: flush it into your waistline. It depends how it's set up, 369 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: but the up john is its own container and it 370 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: injects it into the waistline and takes out that whole 371 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: gravity thing and then you're not cutting concrete or anything. 372 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: It's cut at the back of a toy. 373 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 9: We have a kind of a hybrid septic system down 374 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 9: here in an oxilaria. Uhh, I don't know would that 375 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 9: work with that kind. 376 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: Of it should yeah, it shouldn't be any different. But 377 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: if you go on it's zolorpumps dot com and it's uh, 378 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: I think it's que w I K quick, John, and 379 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: take a look at it. Look at the video and 380 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: see it's just going to be a whole lot you know, 381 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: easier to install. And is it one Is it a 382 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: toil that's used you know, some of the time, but 383 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: it's not living coreds. We're using it all the time, 384 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: Not that it really makes any difference, but you yeah, yeah, yeah, 385 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: so your your expense is you know, really dramatically reduced 386 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: to So take a look at that. I I think, 387 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: you know, that's the direction I would go. If it's 388 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: a afterthought, you know, in the basement's all done and everything, 389 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: that's exactly what I would do. 390 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 9: I wonder if there's people in this area that are 391 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 9: familiar with that product. 392 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm I'm sure, I'm sure there are. 393 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure with a zolor name, I'm sure every plumber 394 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: is familiar with the Zalar Zalar products, and uh yeah, 395 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: I would. Just if you're going to have a plumber 396 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: install it, just ask him about, you know, a up 397 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: flush toilet system like the Quick John and get their 398 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: opinion on it. In fact, you can get a bid 399 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: both ways if they're going to do it. But I'm 400 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: sure this the Quick John is gonna be a lost, 401 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: less expensive and very little maintenance. 402 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 9: Okay, well that was the other part of my question, 403 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 9: so I appreciate that. 404 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: So all right, okay, very good, Mark, Thanks, take care. 405 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: All right, our friend Harold, Harold, how are you? 406 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 3: Hey? Gary? 407 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 7: Roll Todd? 408 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 3: How are you? 409 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: I am doing fun? How about you? 410 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 10: Good? We got we got Ibron coming into Tuscaloosive for 411 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 10: basketball night, so we all got to get prepared for that. 412 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's basketball season now. 413 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 10: Man, Yes sir, yes, sir. Okay. Here at the lake House, 414 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 10: I've got some downstairs area that's up against concrete block. 415 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 10: It's been painted with dry lock. I just want to 416 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 10: put a clean, a new coat of paint. Can I 417 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 10: paint what can I paint over dry lock? I just 418 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 10: want to brighten it up a little bit. 419 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you obviously don't need to use dry lock, 420 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: So the ceilant is already happening with the dry lock. 421 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: So regular latex indoor paint will work fine, okay, as 422 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: long as we have latex paint. In other words, the 423 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: dry lock was a latex paint. It used to make 424 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: a solvent based dry lock, which you wouldn't buy that 425 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: in a million years, and now have a very very 426 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: strong odor. So if it is a solvent based how 427 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: long you think it's been up. 428 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 10: Harold Gary, I've owned the house ten years. I would 429 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 10: be willing to bet it's ten fifteen. Yeah, since that 430 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 10: basement's been touched with that. Because it's just a little dingy. 431 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: Base, it's it's probably just a late text. You can 432 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: double check if you want. If you take a cotton 433 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: cloth and some rubbing alcohol and just rub as hard 434 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: as you can, a latex paint will get a little sticky, 435 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: and oil based paint will start shining. But if it's 436 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: ten fifteen years, I'd have to bet it's one percent 437 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: of crylic And if it's just a cryllic paint, you 438 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: just use the same thing you'd paint a family room 439 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: or a bedroom, just regular interior latex paint. 440 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 10: Yeah, I see no water leaks or anything like that. 441 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 10: That's correct. 442 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 3: Now. 443 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 10: Listen, I tell you God was shining down on you 444 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 10: today because when you started talking about the Jaws product, 445 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 10: I was walking down the steps with my Jaws caddy 446 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 10: to go clean the bathroom. 447 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 5: You start talking about its spring cleaning time. 448 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 10: Man, it is while sitting me down.

David, Welcome, and how you doing? 526 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:36,239 Speaker 8: Year? 527 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 11: I read I had somebody retile my backslash. You know 528 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 11: I'm getting all news about four years ago at UH. Basically, 529 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 11: the grouse is sort of like a tan collar, a 530 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 11: light tan color. 531 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 3: UH. 532 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 11: And however, the lower of where they right right behind 533 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 11: the sync, right where the the tile hits the granite 534 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 11: instead of disappearing, and or like the next players, like 535 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 11: turning a coffee like a coffee color, you know, like 536 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 11: and I don't want to read grout the entire you know, pitching, 537 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 11: you know, but is there an easy way to do that? 538 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 11: Or I can do it? 539 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 7: I do it? 540 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 11: Do I need to bring a pro in? 541 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: Well? The first thing I would ask you is do 542 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: you think that grout is stained? 543 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 11: Is it saine? 544 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: Yeah? So in other words, grout usually isn't going to 545 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,439 Speaker 1: just change colors, you know, and rarely does it even 546 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 1: crumble apart. It might crack, a piece might fall out. 547 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: But when you say it's kind of turned into a 548 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 1: coffee color, I wonder if that's just stained because it's 549 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: right by the sink, so, you know, maybe so dirty 550 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 1: water lash on their so right, What I would try 551 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: to do before I really get into it is because 552 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: it you know, trying to match grout is going to 553 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: be really really difficult, and there are other options. If 554 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,760 Speaker 1: it's if it's not just like dirty water that's gotten 555 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: in there and stained it, you could you can you 556 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: can either scratch that grout and even paint that grout. 557 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: You could when I say scratch that grout, you might 558 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: find out that you're gonna get to the original color. Now, 559 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about scratching it bad, even if you 560 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 1: want to just try, yeah, just scratch the surface of it, 561 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 1: because that stain is probably down less than a sixteenth 562 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,479 Speaker 1: of an inch. And there's plenty of grout cleaners also, 563 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: which are usually very mild acids and a very stiff 564 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: nylon scrub rush where you can scrub that out. But 565 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: I'll bet you it's stained. I'll bet you that's all 566 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 1: it is. And then you can try to clean it yourself. 567 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,760 Speaker 1: You can try to just scratch off the very thirty 568 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: seconds of an inch of it and then seal it. 569 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,280 Speaker 1: You'd have to seal it, or you could call it. 570 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of franchises like the Grout Doctor, 571 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: the Grout Medic, or anything along those lines. 572 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 11: Okay, perfect, thanks Garry. 573 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: All right, you bet take care, Bye bye. And I've 574 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: used that analogy a lot. And maybe if you're listening, 575 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: there's a I interviewed a company out of the Cincinnati 576 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:35,359 Speaker 1: area that did a did grout cleaning and also did 577 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: grout ceiling and grout painting. So there there's certainly people 578 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: out there that can do that. But again, if you 579 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: got a floor and that crowd is just discolored maybe 580 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe by the table or something. If 581 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: you happen to have one of those little drumal tools 582 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: with the stone on the tip and you just lightly 583 00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: score the surface of that, you'll be I mean you'll 584 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: be amazed. And you got to come back and get 585 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: some aqua seal or gross sealer on top of that. 586 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: But you should remove that stained ground very easily, it's microscopic, 587 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: or just get some grapt cleaner and scrub away. Ray. 588 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,720 Speaker 4: Welcome, How you doing, Gary? 589 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: Doing fine? Thank you? 590 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 3: That's good Gary. A couple fast questions. First question, I 591 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 3: got a home that has been sitting idle or I 592 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 3: want to say twenty years with no usage of the 593 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 3: septic tank. Do you have any idea of how long 594 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 3: that could be like that before? Maybe you could deteriorate now. 595 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: Well in twenty years, I mean, what are you doing 596 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,720 Speaker 1: with the house that you're asking this question? Is somebody 597 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: moving in it? Or do you sell it? Or what? 598 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:49,919 Speaker 4: Well? 599 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 3: I want to rehabit inside and have my daughter move 600 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 3: in there. But it's like I said, it's been idyl. 601 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well what I would do. There's no rule 602 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 1: of thumb person, but I would definitely get that inspected 603 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: and probably have it pumped out. But I would I 604 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 1: would have a professional look at that and just see 605 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,919 Speaker 1: what's going on with that. There'll probably be something they're 606 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: going to have to do. I don't know if they're 607 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: gonna have to pump it, but I don't think it's uh. 608 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: I think it's past the point of just adding something 609 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 1: to it and rebalancing it. I could be wrong, but 610 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: if it's going to be where your daughter's moving in, 611 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: i'd get it inspected and see where you're at. 612 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 3: I gotcha. I had it pumped out about a year, 613 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 3: maybe eighteen months prior to moving out of there. 614 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: Okay, So I don't know, but it's just yeah, you know, 615 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 1: you still get bacteria in there and it sits and percolates. 616 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what it did in twenty years, but 617 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: it's a long time. I'd get inspected. 618 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 3: Okay. The next past question is the same property. I 619 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 3: got a ninety foot well with well water. I replace 620 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:03,879 Speaker 3: the pump I want to say ten years ago and 621 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 3: I got about eight years out of that pump, okay, 622 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 3: And like I say, nobody's been living in it. So 623 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 3: water in the gardens, doing whatever, little stuff like that, 624 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 3: blushing the toilet when I'm in there or whatever. And 625 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 3: the pump. I replaced the pump. I only got two 626 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 3: years out of the pump, and now it's not working. 627 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:26,399 Speaker 3: I replaced the pressure valve and everything, and I really 628 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 3: don't want to pull that pump out, but I think 629 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to. You think maybe that pump went 630 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 3: bad by just sitting with lack of use. 631 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: Probably probably. I mean, you know, I don't know how 632 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 1: hard your water is either, but if it's just sitting 633 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: dormant and with the seals in there and everything, sure 634 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: a pump that isn't used for a long period of 635 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: time can certainly freeze up. 636 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 3: That's what I'm That's what I was thinking. I wanted 637 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,839 Speaker 3: to get your opinion, all right, sir. Thank you very 638 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 3: much for your time. I appreciate it. 639 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 1: Thank you. Take care. Even a some pump. Had this 640 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: conversation many times with our friends from Zalor. And you 641 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: know you have some houses where you know that some 642 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 1: pump runs all the time and every time I say that, 643 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,240 Speaker 1: they always say that's good. That's good. They're designed to run. 644 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: Other people are going like, you know this, some pump's 645 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,439 Speaker 1: not working after five years, and you know it never 646 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 1: turns on, and that's probably the problem, if you know, 647 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,240 Speaker 1: I don't know that's the problem, but that's the answer. 648 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: I get a working pump, the happy pump, right And 649 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: when you got it just sitting in a well for 650 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: what I say, twenty years? Well, no, that he had 651 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: it replaced him. Maybe it was eight years. But again, 652 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: if somebody's moving into house, you got to make sure 653 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 1: it's all functioning. I know you hate to pull it out, 654 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,279 Speaker 1: and I know you hate to have somebody come in 655 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 1: and inspect it, but there are certainly additives when a 656 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:16,240 Speaker 1: septic system is functioning. But that's sat for twenty years, 657 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 1: I have no idea what kind of shape that's in. 658 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: It might be in fine shape, but i'd have a 659 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 1: professional take a look at it for sure. All right. 660 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 1: One of the things I just want to leave you 661 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:32,839 Speaker 1: before I do leave you is I don't know about you. 662 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 1: But in the last day or two I was fortunate 663 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 1: enough to open up the windows in the house or 664 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 1: ray and one of the things I started noticing right 665 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: away is just a dirt that accumulates inside the it's 666 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: a double hung window, so inside the rails down at 667 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:55,360 Speaker 1: the base. Obviously cleaning those out. But when you're doing 668 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 1: that especially, it depends on what kind of windows you have. 669 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: But let's say you have a fiberglass window or a 670 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: vinyl window, or even aluminum windows. I don't know how 671 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: your wood windows would have. But if you let's put 672 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,880 Speaker 1: this way, if you have double hung windows or slider 673 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:16,799 Speaker 1: windows windows, and you have nine long glides on the 674 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:21,439 Speaker 1: inside of writing on the frame from the window to 675 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: the frame itself, and you're cleaning that out because it's dirty, 676 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: really important that you lubricate that periodically. And if you 677 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: get the windows open, I mean, you don't want to 678 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 1: have dirt laying there and then spray oil in there. Okay, 679 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 1: that's really where I'm trying to go. You'd never know it, 680 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 1: but that's where I'm trying to go. Don't you just 681 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: spring any lubricant in there, because a lot of lubricants 682 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 1: that will collect dust down the road almost becomes like 683 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 1: liquid sandpaper and it can damage over time those glides 684 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: in the windows. So when you wipe it down, just 685 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,799 Speaker 1: rubbing alcohol, something along those lines. Wipe it down, get 686 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 1: it and then get yourself some teflon spray. You can 687 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 1: get a silicone spray. Those two are very very good. 688 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: They're good for the non long guides. It's good for 689 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,760 Speaker 1: the health of that window. So clean them and teflon 690 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,280 Speaker 1: or silicone, and then take a look at the screen. Remember, 691 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: a fiberglass screen's lifespan is less than fifteen years. So 692 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how old your windows are, don't know 693 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,760 Speaker 1: how old those screens are. But if you start seeing 694 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:38,280 Speaker 1: a black fiberglass screen, start having a whitish, threadbare look, 695 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 1: it needs to be replaced or the screen's going to 696 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 1: become ineffective for you. And so check those two things. 697 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: The windows are open, check those two things. Danny boy, 698 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,320 Speaker 1: thank you very much, and I appreciate all your up today, 699 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: and good Lord Willing.
