22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: one I'm going to finish telling you about the Stall House,

23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: the famous architectural Stall House in the Hollywood Hills up

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: above La looking out all south, all across Los Angeles,

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: from the ocean to the mountains, and deep into Orange

26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: County on clear days, beautiful view. Historic home built in

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: the late nineteen fifties, purchased a very very modest lot,

28
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: all hillside lot, almost impossible to build lot according to

29
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: most architects at the time, but the Stalls. A middle

30
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: class family found a young architect with a lot of

31
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: creative drive who was willing to say yes, and built

32
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: what has become one of the most iconic modernist homes

33
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: of the mid century Modernist era. The Stall Home two

34
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: thousand square feet, just a little bit over two thousand

35
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: square feet, pretty much all glass and steel, unbelievable views.

36
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: You should look it up and just catch a glimpse,

37
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: at least of the one black and white photo that

38
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: made it most famous for the time, with two women

39
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: from the definitely from the fifties sitting in the corner

40
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: overlooking all of Los Angeles. By the way, that corner

41
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: where the women are sitting. People who tour the house

42
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: they want to sit exactly in those same positions and

43
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: have their same photo taken the same way. And that

44
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: is actually where the Stall family puts their Christmas tree

45
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: every year. The house is still owned by the Stall family.

46
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: Now Mom and Dad are gone, but the kids still

47
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: own the house. And now because of circumstances, they've reached

48
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: the conclusion that it's time for them who passed the

49
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: house on. And so what has happened that was so

50
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: historic that made it into the news This last week,

51
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: the Stall House, for the first time since it was built,

52
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: is up for sale. It is now for sale for

53
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars. Twenty five million dollars. Now, there

54
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: are no comps for this because there's nothing to compare

55
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: the Stall House too, because it is it is both

56
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: artistic and brilliant and historic and amazing, all of these things.

57
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. They're going to get it.

58
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: They're going to get something close to it at least,

59
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: or somebody's going to get into a bidding war with

60
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: it and they'll get more for it. A thirty seven

61
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: thousand dollars investment in the late nineteen fifties now twenty

62
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: five million dollars. But what I look at it from

63
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: my perspective, And the reason I share it with you

64
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: is because this is not some mega mansion built by

65
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: some multimillionaire that you know you would expect, you know

66
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: you should ooh and awe at it. The Stall House

67
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: is creativity over cost. The Stall House was a middle

68
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: class family buying a very small, practically unbuildable lot. But

69
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: mister Stall he had a vision and he wasn't willing

70
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: to compromise his vision. He wanted to have a view unobstructed,

71
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: and he held his guns and he stuck to it,

72
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: and he got it, built a house that became home

73
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: for him and his family for the entire period of

74
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: their marriage and the generations beyond. This is the kind

75
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: of thing that can happen when you take an ordinary

76
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,119
Speaker 1: family who have an uncompromising vision for an extraordinary home

77
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: and it becomes something truly truly special. So I just

78
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: wanted to share that with you because it's a living

79
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: example and also, you know what, keep it in the

80
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: family for a couple generations.

81
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: You can make twenty five million bucks.

82
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,679
Speaker 1: No that's probably not the case, but in their case,

83
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: big risk ended up with a big payoff for them.

84
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: Okay, now here we are.

85
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,960

00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: the same time.

102
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 2: This one.

103
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 3: I'm down in San Diego. I listened to you down there.

104
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: Oh great, yeah, thank you. Well, how can I help

105
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 2: you plan?

106
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 3: Well? I was playing on my garage and I found

107
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 3: something here. It is a piece of craftsman history. It's

108
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 3: a one hour seven point two vault charger for craftsman tools.

109
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: And see the tool I have. I have one of

110
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: the little small cordless lights that I like. I'd like

111
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 3: to use for working on our cars, but the battery

112
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 3: is so depleted I can't even charge it anymore. It

113
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: just it just dives. And I've been looking for the

114
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: seven point two vault batteries and I can't find them anywhere.

115
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 3: Can you think of anybody that would make like either

116
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: a reproduction or maybe is there any kind of a

117
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: way to adapt like a me Cato or a DeWalt

118
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 3: or something like that to a seven point two craftsman

119
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: a cordless charger?

120
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: And then in my life, you know what, give me

121
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes to think about that, and I'll

122
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: let you know. I'm not an electrical engineer, but give

123
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: me a moment of pause. And it's just convenient that

124
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: we're up against a break, so I will pop you on.

Speaker 3: on abay right now while I've been on hold with you,

163
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: and unfortunately I can't find you kind to replace the batteries.

164
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: Okay, we got so you've been looking on You've been

165
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: looking at eBay for crafts in seven point two power

166
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: tool batteries, right, Okay, I can't, I think, Well, I

167
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: mean you only know. I mean they're there. I mean

168
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: I've got a whole page of them. I don't know

169
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: if they're the configuration that you want, okay.

170
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: But.

171
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: Configurations, yeah, yeah, all right. So eBay was one of

172
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: the ones I was going to suggest you because I'm

00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: Battery World, Battery World Center in Alhambra. And the one

181
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: that was actually a listener that actually called in to

182

Speaker 1: he should try Battery World. So I'm telling you to

184
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: try that. The one I was going to give you though.

185
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: All Right, a little bit of shipping involved here, but

186
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: this has been a go to for me in years past.

187
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: M t O mt O Battery m t O. Now

189
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: a website, mto battery dot Com. You go to their

190
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: website and they will set you up for you can

191

00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: But these guys, they are brilliant. We've actually upgraded some

195
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: tools with them in the past. Okay for batteries that

196
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: have failed and tools that are no longer being you know,

197
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: batteries that are no longer being manufactured by the major manufacturers,

198
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: and they're basically just battery engineers, and they will replace

199
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,239
Speaker 1: the guts and renew those batteries for it. They'll rebuild

200
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: that battery for you, send it back to you in

201
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: its original casing, and boom back into the tool it goes,

202
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: and you got a brand new battery to continue that

203
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: life of that tool forward. That's what I got for you, buddy, Gary,

204
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. Very unique call. That's why we

205
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: take him. Uh and uh awesome. All right, So do

206
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: I have time to get going on another one here?

207
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: Let's talk to Joe. Hey, Joe, welcome home.

208
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 5: Hey, thank you. Higgy. My my son moved his business

209
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 5: to a was was formerly an mechanic and it had

210
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 5: lots of grease and some paint and some resins, and

211
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 5: he had somebody come in grind it. They did it

212
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 5: with a six inch wheel and it left strations on

213
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 5: you know, in his passes, and then he sealed it.

214
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 5: But we were hoping to sustain it prior to ceiling.

215
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 5: Can we still stay it over the ceial?

216
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: Uh?

217
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: It's I mean, if they didn't seal it, if they

218
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: sealed it as well as they ground it, maybe, yeah,

219
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: exactly exactly, because the yeah, it should not have been

220
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: using the six inch grinder on the concrete. Okay, so

221
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: let me let me let's back up and let's just

222
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: talk about doing it the right way for a second. Okay,

223
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: First of all, we take a mild acid mixture okay,

224
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: muratic acid, very very mild mix of muratic acid, and

225
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: we wash over all the concrete. That will and we

226
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: let it set, and then we rinse it and we

227
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: rinse it and we rinse it. That will knock out

228
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: the ceiler. Okay, we should be able that should degrade

229
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: the seiler, open up the porosity of the concrete again.

230
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: Then then, uh, the proper thing to do is run

231
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: down to the big box store like the rental department

232
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: of home depot or your local rental yard and actually

233
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: rent for one day. Actually it's only going to take

234
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: you like two to three hours an actual concrete resurfacer.

235
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: And these things are brilliant. I mean I've talked about

236
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: them before. We're living in the golden age of tool rentals,

237
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: and this is a resurfacing disc that sits level and

238
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: plane across the concrete. Anybody could resurface their garage slab

239
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: on their own with one of these things. Okay, I

240
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: hear the music tuning me out here, So I got

241
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: to finish this up, Joe. On the other side of

242
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: the break, I will finish my details of how to

243
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: come back from this bad concrete job and disdain it

244
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: up and make it all beautiful. We'll talk about it

245
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: on the other side. Your Home with Dean Sharp the

246
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: House Whispers.

247
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 4: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from

248
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.

249
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: Transform your ordinary house into an extraordinary home. We do

250
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: it every week. I'm glad that you've tuned in. It's

251
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: a pleasure to have you on the show with me.

252
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: We are doing our holiday gift guide today. We're going

253
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: to get back to it in just a bit, but

254
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: middle of the show we always set everything aside for calls.

255
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: For your calls. I've got Joe on hold. He had

256
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: a question about was it a garage slab or a dry.

257
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 5: Way Joe, basically a garage. It was a mechanics.

258
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: Garage, mechanic's garage. A lot of grease, a lot of oil,

259
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. They tried to clean it up.

260
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: Somebody tried to clean it up. They took a six

261
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: inch disc, scandered it. You grind out some problem areas.

262
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: It left marks behind. Then they sealed it, and now

263
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: they want to stain it to cover it up. But

264
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: now it's got sealer on it. So I just wanted

265
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,359
Speaker 1: to address it the right way. And that was number one.

266
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: Like I said before the break, some a mild acid,

267
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: let it sit, led it to eat through the sealer

268
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: to open up the porosity again so that the new

269
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: stain will actually work. Because a freshly sealed slab if

270
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: they sealed it properly, which there you know, they didn't

271
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: grind it properly, so maybe they didn't seal it property,

272
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: but the sealers still going to do its job. So

273
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: I want to knock that sealer out, open up the

274
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: porosity of the cement, and then instead of getting on

275
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: your hands and knees with a six inch grinder and

276
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: leaving marks behind, what we want to do is uniform

277
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: address the entire surface of the slab. Now that may

278
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: seem like a monumental job, but it's really not. It's

279
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: really a trip down to the rental yard picking up

280
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: one of these new fangled concrete resurfacing machines that are

281
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: designed for anybody to use, bring it on home and

282
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: and unload it. It's gonna work like a floor polisher.

283
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: Nobody's on their hands and knees, nobody's breaking their back.

284
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: It is self propelled. It's gonna scoot all around. The

285
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: nice thing is it's got a great, big diamond disc

286
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: that always lays a flat across the surface of the cement,

287
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: so it does not leave gouge marks or disc marks

288
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: or anything like that. Within the course of two hours,

289
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: tops you can resurface an entire garage floor with this,

290
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: And I mean you, I mean just, I mean Grandma

291
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: can resurface a garage floor. She knows what she's doing there.

292
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: She follows the instructions with this. Leave it bright, shiny

293
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: and new. If there's any grease spots or anything left remaining,

294
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like there are, but if there were

295
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of pressure washer or some tri sodium phosphate.

296
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: But the point is the resurfacer just does. I mean,

297
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: we have transformed really really bad looking slabs in a

298
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: garage down to pristine slabs and then yeah, if we're

299
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: gonna keep using it. Practically speaking, I love the idea

300
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: of staining the garage. So after you've done that rinsing, rinsing, rinsing,

301
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: getting all the dust everything out of that garage slab,

302
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: and then here's the key. There's only one big key.

303
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: You let it dry. I mean you let it dry

304
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: out completely. Because a wet sponge, which is what a

305
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: concrete is, it's basically a stone sponge. A wet sponge

306
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: will not absorb any more liquid. And what we want

307
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: is what we want this stain that we put down

308
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: to be absorbed in fully, and then we want the

309
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: sealer to be absorbed in fully. So we want that

310
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: garage slab clean and dry, subsurface dry.

311
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 2: Then when you stain it makes sense. Yeah, when you

312
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: stain it.

313
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: After you stain it, you want it to dry again,

314
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: clean and dry before the seiler goes down, and then

315
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: the ceiler will penetrate in beautifully and everything will be great.

316
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: And the way I like to stain a garage floor,

317
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: I always recommend it stain is not paint. It will

318
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: always be taken unevenly into any surface, whether you're doing

319
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: wood or concrete or stone, whatever the case. So I

320
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: like the idea of like a darker stain that the

321
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: plan is to put it down kind of modeled so

322
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: that it's darker in some areas, it's kind of swoshy.

323
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: It's light, it's dark, it's light, it's dark. It'll make

324
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: the whole floor. The ununiformity of that will make the

325
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: whole floor very uniform in that kind of motif, and

326
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: it'll hide future oil stains and issues and dirt better

327
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: than just one color. But expecting like one color palette

328
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: of stain to go across an entire piece of con

329
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: concrete that size is an unrealistic expectation. So better to

330
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: just model it all up again though in between every phase,

331
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: let it dry and then reseal it, and you're off

332
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: to the races and it shouldn't have to wrestle with

333
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: it anymore.

334
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 5: Do you what do you figure for seiler? Like a

335
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 5: five eleven impregnating.

336
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: Or yeah, yeah, miracle if five to eleven is great?

337
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: And I you know, I personally don't like surface sealers

338
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: on concrete. I like penetrating sealers because the surface seilers

339
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: they leave a gloss behind, there's moisture in the concrete.

340
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: There always will be. It'll always want to push it

341
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: off from the backside. It'll always make it yellow, It'll

342
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: always make it crack eventually. So I prefer a penetrating

343
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: sealer that just sinks down below the level, does the job,

344
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: but doesn't actually put a sheen of any kind on

345
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: the concrete.

346
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 5: That makes sense, That makes sense. Thank you for your help.

347
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 5: Can I ask you a little follow up on something

348
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 5: you just talked about on the battery guys?

349
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 2: Super quick? Yeah?

350
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 5: Was that MTA mto mt oh mt oh?

351
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 3: And will they do any bike batteries as well?

352
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: Do you think you know what?

353
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but I know they're in the battery

354
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: rebuilding business, so I wouldn't surprise me if they did.

355
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 3: All right, I'll look it up. But thank you for

356
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: your time. I appreciate it.

357
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: You're so welcome, Joe. Thanks for the call, Bud. All right,

358
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: where are we at? Where are we at?

359
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 6: Oh?

360
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: We got a little bit of time. We got a

361
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: couple of minutes to slip another one in here. Let's

362
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: talk to Olivia. Do I have Olivia back?

363
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 4: Yes?

364
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 6: You do, Olivia.

365
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 2: It's so good to hear from you. How can I

366
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 2: help Okay, I have two questions.

367
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 6: My first one is why does the toilet mold over

368
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 6: on the inside. I can't seem to get it to

369
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 6: go away.

370
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 2: Okay.

371
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: Bathrooms are a very high humid area, humidity, the darkness

372
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: inside the toilet bowl. If there's any way that you

373
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: can increase the fresh air flow and the drying of

374
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: the air inside the bathroom, nine times out of ten,

375
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: the mold that ends up developing inside a bathroom around

376
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: a toilet has to do with the fact that it's

377
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: a damp, dark, humid place, and so we want to

378
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: get back to see the moist air out of there,

379
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: and with the moist air the mold will go.

380
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 6: Okay, that works, I can try that. My second question

381
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 6: is I've lived in this house since two thousand and one,

382
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 6: and when you come through the garage, we have a

383
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 6: washer and dryer, and then after that I have a

384
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 6: bunch of cabinets, and no matter what landen or anything

385
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 6: I put in there, it all smells.

386
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 2: Moldy inside the cabinets inside the garage.

387
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 6: No, you come from the garage into the house and

388
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 6: then you have a washer and dryer and there's cabinet

389
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 6: in there, and nothing smells in that one. Then you

390
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 6: come pass that in towards the house. It's like a hallway,

391
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 6: tight bunch of cabinets and I put all the linen

392
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 6: towels stuff in there, and it always smells like mold.

393
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: It sounds like you might have the same situation in

394
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: there again, moist air and a place for that air

395
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: to hide. So the best way to deal with that, Olivia,

396
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: is to clear out everything out of those cabinets. Get

397
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: it all out of there, clear out that room. Spray

398
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: those cabinets down with a mixture of water and bleach

399
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: to knock out any mold that might be taking place there. Okay, whatsoever,

400
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm assuming now that there's no leaks in the walls,

401
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: that there's no pipes, you know, with water running in

402
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: the walls creating a bigger problem than that. We're assuming

403
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: this is just surface stuff. But we got to find

404
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: a way, even if it's putting a little fan in

405
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: that area to dry the air, to move the air

406
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: through there. Okay, get rid of the mold. Knock it

407
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: out with a mixture, just like you would do with

408
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: your laundry, with a mixture of bleach and water. Dry

409
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: thoroughly before you put anything back in. If it's embedded

410
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: in the paint, you might have to do a little

411
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: bit of painting as well, but usually the bleach in

412
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: the water work just fine. Give it a restart. Mold

413
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: is tenacious. Once it's there and it's going, it's going

414
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: to try and keep going as long as you give

415
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: it the conditions for it to go. So if we

416
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: can clear up the air, dry it out, and also

417
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: get rid of all the mold that's in there, because mold,

418
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: once the air is dry and warm, it won't just

419
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: it won't just die. It'll go dormant until it gets

420
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: moist agains. That's why we got to kill it all

421
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: to begin with. Wipe it clean, new, fresh start, Olivia.

422
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: Thank you for your call. Everybody, thank you for your call.

00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: will qualify as a stocking stuffer, a very You better

442
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: have an extra large hook for this item, heavy duty

443
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: hook for your stocking. This is the kind of thing

444
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: that you know that the burglar who breaks in to

445
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: steal your Christmas presents will find very unusual in a stocking. Nevertheless,

446
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: it is the Edward Tools wonder bar, a utility pride bar. Okay,

447
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: I got a few of these in the list here,

448
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: not pride bars, but a few little stocking stuffer items

449
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: that are items that are under twenty dollars. Everybody who

450
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: does stuff around their house will eventually need a pride bar.

451
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 1: And if you need a pride bar. There is no

452
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 1: better little pride bar to have than a wonder bar. Okay,

453
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: wonder bar. It's a brand name. It's been out for

454
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: quite a while. It is just the perfect tool prying, scraping, lifting, pulling.

455
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: It's wide, it's flat, it's flexible, it is super strong.

456
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: It has got all the right curves going on it

457
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: to cantilever and to leverage your way through pulling out nails,

458
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: separating boards from each other, so on and so forth,

459
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: and nice. The best thing about it it's fifteen inches long.

460
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: It's twelve bucks. It's well worth it, but it is,

461
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: you know, it is a chunk of steel. So maybe

462
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: not put it in the stocking. That maybe the the

463
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: wisest move, but technically it's a stocking stuffer.

464
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: Now this one.

465
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,720

Speaker 2: Right.

477

484
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: toward pros Okay, and I'll tell you why, because those

485
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: things are a designed the classic toolbox that has a

486
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: lockable top, latchable top. It's designed to travel, Okay. It's

487
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: designed to yeah, like throw it in the back of

488
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: the truck so if it tips over, it won't spill

489
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: out all over the place. It keeps everything in place

490
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: because it travels in the back of a truck or

491
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: a van from job site to job site. That's really

492
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: a pro oriented tool organization system. Now, I'm not saying

493
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: that this isn't I'm simply saying this the concept years

494
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 1: and years ago when somebody figured out to take one

495
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: of those big five gallon buckets and actually design a

496
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: Cordura canvas inset that holds, in a well organized manner

497
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: all bunches of tools around the outside edge and on

498
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: the inside, and also uses the bucket itself for storage

499
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: of materials like nails or screws or whatever's going on.

500
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: Transforming a five gallon bucket into a beautifully organized toolbox

501
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: in the spirit of those old style toolboxes, those open top,

502
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: old styled toolboxes. It is a brilliant idea. And why

503
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: do I say it's brilliant for your house, Because at

504
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: the end of the day, when you're doing a little

505
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: project and it's not in the garage, it's over there,

506
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: it's in that bathroom, it's in the backyard, whatever, what

507
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: you really need for that project to do it successfully

508
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: is you don't need a bunch of locking toolboxes and

509
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: all of that kind of stuff. What you need is

510
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 1: you need a staging area for the tools that you

511
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: need for that project. And so I'm suggesting that the

512
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: bucket boss stays empty most of the time. It sits

513
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,719
Speaker 1: there in the corner waiting for today's project. And then

514
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: you load it up with the appropriate tools, and you

515
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: throw in the appropriate screws or paintbrushes or whatever the

516
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: case may be, and you can very easily just carry

517
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: it on over to exactly where you're sitting or standing

518
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: or kneeling to get today's project done. It's brilliant stuff.

519
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: It's seventeen dollars and it will change the di wire's life.

520
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 2: Who you give it to?

521
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: The bucket Boss from the Bucketeer from Bucket Boss, seventeen

522
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,040
