Thank you. 9 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's about seventy three degrees over here in Warren, Ohio. 10 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 2: It's quite nice, Yes it is. It's supposed to snow tonight. 11 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: I'm teasing. 12 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: It's spring. 13 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: Gay question for you. My driveway is about five years old. Okay, 14 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: no cracks other than you know the h you know 15 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: lines across that, I believe really you know, pressure or whatnot? 16 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 2: How do I clean that concrete? So nice and white? 17 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: Again? Yeah, so tell me about you told me about 18 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: the driveway. So it sounds like it's in great shape. 19 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: It's just dirty. Is it moldy, is it mildewy? Is 20 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: there dirt on there or what? 21 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a couple of little oil spots from my 22 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: seventy minted Carlo, But beyond that, there's some I would 23 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 2: assume probably mold. 24 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: Perhaps, well so for the and this is concrete, yes, 25 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: absolutely all right. So for the oil spots, I would 26 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: say there's oil spots removers that you can pick up 27 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: in the stores. There's some people that'll tell you different 28 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: products you may have at home. But the one I 29 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: always kind of go to is there's a brain called 30 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: crud cutter, and that's with a K K R U 31 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: D k U T T E R and they have 32 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: oil before. Yeah, oil and grease remover. It is a 33 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: liquid and you simply pour it over the oil stain 34 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: oil spot and it really just kind of dissolves it. 35 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: You don't really have to scrub, you don't really have 36 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: to put anything on it. I would try that first. 37 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: I would say it's probably eighty percent effective in most 38 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: oil spots, especially newer ones. If it didn't take that 39 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: oil stain off, I might put it on again and 40 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: maybe put some kitty litter on it that might help it. 41 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: If that doesn't work, and it's an oil spot that's 42 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: really penetrated deep into that concrete and it's been there 43 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: for a while, my go to I'm desperate product is 44 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: called a C T cleaner, and I haven't seen it 45 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: in stores. I learned about it during the uh golf 46 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: oil spill, quite honestly, and it is a it is 47 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: a living microbe. It's a white powder that you sprinkle 48 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: on oil spots and it eats the oil and it disappears. 49 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: It's weird stuff. Yeah, it's pretty cool and as far 50 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: as I know, it's undefeated. They use it actually are. 51 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, here's the thing. I've used wedding forget before. Uh, 52 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: and it makes you driveway you look like brand new. 53 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: Right, so that'll do. 54 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: I have these couple of little oil spots right on it. 55 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,119 Speaker 1: Yep, yep, so you're you're on the right track. That's 56 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: the same where I was going. Let's get rid of 57 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: the oil spots. And uh, did you use the wedding 58 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: forget last year? 59 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 2: Oh? 60 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: Absolutely? Okay, what I do is you don't have to 61 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: see you don't have to see that dirt again, but 62 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: I do it again. You got two choices. You can 63 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: you can ignore it and it'll start getting kind of 64 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: cloudy this year, not real bad, but it'll become just 65 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: very slightly discolored. And then next year you can do it, 66 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: or you can just go ahead and just use that 67 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: wet and Forget as a maintenance coat and you won't 68 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: see any algae or mildew or anything. 69 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 2: That stuff is absolutely fantastic. Yeah, it's amazing and Forget 70 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 2: and I've used it in my bathroom, uh to do 71 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: the tub lord. Yeah, it's it's incredible. So anybody listening, 72 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: I know Gary promotes the wed and Forget, and I 73 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: want to tell you it is absolutely off the hook, fantastic. 74 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you all right, Jeff, Well you have 75 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: a good weekend. Thank you, my friend. Take care bye bye. Yeah. 76 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: Some of the products that I talk about they sponsor 77 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: the show. Some of the products that I talk about 78 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: they don't sponsor the show. But I so my background 79 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: was in hardware stores and you know, people come in 80 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: and you recommend different things to take care of their problem. 81 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: I think that's a very important part of home improvement. 82 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: You got to know how to do it, you got 83 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: to know what to use. I'm also like to add 84 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: a little caveat I'm looking for the easy way out? 85 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: Who isn't and you got to know where to get it. 86 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: And that's what we tried to do. A sponsor or, 87 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: no sponsor. If it's a good quality product. I've used 88 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: it In fact, I'll usually tell you if I haven't 89 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: used it, and I'll say I heard it's good, but 90 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: I've never really used it. So anyway, that's what we 91 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: try to be. We try to be transparent on this show, 92 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: and hopefully you can see that. All right again, it's 93 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two three eight two five five, 94 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: Judy Welcome. 95 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 2: Hi, Gary, Hello, Hi. 96 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 3: Can you hear me? 97 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:21,119 Speaker 1: I can? 98 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 3: Okay, ditto on what the previous caller just said about 99 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 3: we and forget great, You're a good luck on hand 100 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 3: all the time. What I'm calling about is you've talked 101 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 3: about it before, painting a brick fireplace, and this fireplace 102 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 3: has not been used I was told since the early seventies. 103 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 3: The it's a lot of dark brown brick. The only 104 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 3: area I can see where there might be smoke is 105 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 3: about two bricks up and two and a half bricks wide. 106 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 3: And I want to paint it to where if somebody 107 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 3: in the future wants to use it they could so, 108 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 3: and I talked to Sharon Yamos and so on and 109 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 3: so forth. But I know you have gone through these 110 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 3: steps before. 111 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, So this is this is the facing of the 112 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: fireplace inside the home, right correct. And you've probably heard 113 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: me preach a thousand times. The number one thing is 114 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: the preparation without a doubt. So you know, if there's 115 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: smoke on that front, we got to get that off, 116 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: or that that smoke stain will actually bleed through the pain. 117 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: So there's a couple options here. One is older than me. 118 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: That's hard to do, but yeah it is TSP. That's 119 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: exactly a try so impossible. Put the plastic down in 120 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: front and mix the powder with water, Spray it on, 121 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: sponge it on, whatever you got to do. Let it 122 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: sit about ten minutes, reapply and then then scrub and rints. 123 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: That's option one. 124 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: Ten minutes, reapply and then scrub. Yeah, wait two minutes 125 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: in between both times. 126 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, about ten minutes. You're just something to get 127 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: it activated. Now, that's that's the hard way. I was 128 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: just talking about the easy way. There is a product 129 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: called peel Away. 130 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 3: I've never been able to find it. 131 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: You got to get it either at a do it 132 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: Best hardware store or online. 133 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 3: Okay, no wonder, I've looked for it. 134 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: I have looked for it. 135 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: It's phenomenal and it's easy and it's not messy, and 136 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: it's more expensive. Than tsp ok. You'll put that on 137 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: with the brush and you'll tick coating on it, and 138 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: you let that baby sit on there over night and 139 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: then you can just come down. It'll dry. You pick 140 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: the film and you literally pull the film off the brick, 141 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: and along will come all the stain or the staining, 142 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: the smoke stain. It'll come right off and you're done, 143 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: no scrubbing. 144 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 3: What about the areas most of the brick, It all 145 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 3: looks like new, the mortar everything. Would it be better 146 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 3: to clean all of the brick or just the area 147 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 3: that I believe with smoke? 148 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you can try just cleaning the smoke, but 149 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: what you may find out is that rest of that 150 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: brick has been discolored a little bit. You can't see 151 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: the smoke stain, but it's darker than what you just cleaned. 152 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: So if you want to do it in two steps, 153 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: go ahead. 154 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 3: Okay, stp or the peel correct? 155 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: Correct? 156 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 3: Okay? Now would you use a ceiler on there like 157 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 3: kills or sensor? 158 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: No, but I would use a masonry bonding primer because 159 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: funding primer, so, and what that's going to do, and 160 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: you can cut in with a brush, do the mortar 161 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: lines with a brush. You can use a roller for 162 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: the larger flat areas. It would certainly it's a it's 163 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: a water based product, but still follow the directions on 164 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: the label on drying time and recode time or just 165 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: figure I'm going to do that in twenty four hours. 166 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: You know you can also, I mean you could. You 167 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: can use a stain blocking primer, but I think we've 168 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: just taken care of the problem by removing the stains. 169 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: If you didn't do that, that would be not proper 170 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: preparation in that that black stain and would bleed through. 171 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: So if you got it and you think, you know, 172 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: it got most of it off, but it's still kind 173 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: of then I would use it Kills or something along 174 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: those lines instead. 175 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, that you recommend the Mason bonding binding primer 176 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 3: correct and even after I have cleaned it right and 177 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 3: and what was the circumstances if I wanted to use 178 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 3: the Kills or well, if you still. 179 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: Think there's some smoke on there and you're not going 180 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: to do it, just make sure, then I would use 181 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: a stain blocking primer. But I'm you know, you said 182 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: you were going to do it in steps. So if 183 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: we remove the smoke stains and the other wasn't totally off. Okay, 184 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: you know you might want to consider maybe kills instead 185 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: of the bonding primer at that point. 186 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, so the paint and yeah, and then the paint. 187 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 3: Because I know I talked to well Or weren't too 188 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 3: many places open yesterday. I talked to Sharon Williams, Sharon 189 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 3: william Is about I know, at their bonch. She recommended 190 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: a masonry paint the bonding primary. Of course, all this 191 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 3: stuff all comes just in gallons. Uh huh. And I'd rather, 192 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 3: you know, not be storing a lot more paint than 193 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 3: add to my collection. Yeah. So then when it comes 194 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 3: to the paint, can I just use like an acrylic 195 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 3: latex you. 196 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: Can, you can an interior latex paint satin. Some people 197 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: like it semi gloss. I prefer maybe a little lower sheine, 198 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: So I kind of like the satin and not the 199 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: semi gloss. Again, you're going to cut into mortar lines, 200 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: You're going to roll the rest of the brick. I 201 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: would say two coats for best results, and make sure 202 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: you pay attention to the drying time between coats. That's 203 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: gonna be key. 204 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, and I have been using. I've been doing 205 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 3: a lot of painting and new wood in Salona, and 206 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: I've been using this.

Thank you. 260 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 6: Quick thing. I've got a four years ago when I 261 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 6: bought my house, I have two wells in my cellar 262 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 6: like holes, one in my garage and one on the 263 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 6: other side. We had torrential rains, so I went out 264 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 6: and bought a some pump and it ran good for 265 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 6: about eight hours and then died. And one thing about 266 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 6: some pumps, once you use them, you can't replay. How 267 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 6: you can't return them. So a couple of years ago 268 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 6: I bought a Zola pump. Last week we've had a 269 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 6: lot of snow and there was warm so the snow 270 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 6: was melting fast and my wells were filling up. So 271 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 6: I put in my third huss my third Hustla pump 272 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 6: with a garden hose, and the thing's been running for 273 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 6: five straight days. I just want I just wanted to 274 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 6: put a plug in for a Zola, a great, great pump. 275 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 6: And also I got one question. 276 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 2: One question. 277 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,479 Speaker 6: Explain to me what is a French drain. I have 278 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 6: a French drain in my house, and I'm sure the 279 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 6: French has nothing to do with it, But what is 280 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 6: a French train. 281 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: A French drain is usually an underground drain, or if 282 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: you put a French strain in a basement, you would 283 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: cut the concrete and bury the drain. The drain would 284 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: be normally in a French strain would be a drain pipe. 285 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: So like I got a French strain on the side 286 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: of my house because the swale between my neighbor's driveway 287 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: in my house is kind of almost is like a basin. 288 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: It's a short basin that holds water. And one time 289 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: I came home from work and there's like right after 290 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: we moved in, there's like a lake between the two houses. 291 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: And I got to get that water out of there. 292 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: So the ground's very flat. So I trenched that ground 293 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: and put in stone and laid a drain pipe in 294 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: there that head holes in it. So as the water rose, 295 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: it would go into the pipe and I would by 296 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: digging it and putting it in there there's a slope 297 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: and it would discharge the water away from my house. 298 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: So it's an underground drain that catches the water from 299 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: the water table and moves it along away from your home. 300 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 6: Well, all I gotta say is thank Bova Zola pumps 301 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 6: and made in the good US of eight. 302 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: Yes, there they are very good, Kim, Thanks much.

Welcome. 352 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 7: Hey, Gary, it is Gary. I'm from Massachusetts of a 353 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 7: home inspector and at a school we'll do home spection 354 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 7: training and contractors in real estate ations. Anyway, that topic 355 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 7: comes up all the time, Gary, what's a French train? 356 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 7: You know? And it's the named after mister French, all right, 357 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 7: Henry French. He was an expert. He came from Cockett, Massachusetts. 358 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 7: He was an expert in agricultural uh and agricultural drainage. 359 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 7: And he came up with a shallow drain around agriculture 360 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 7: with crushed stone in it. It would help direct the water 361 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 7: away from the property, just like you said. Then over 362 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 7: the then over the years that it became a drain 363 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 7: that they would they would dig down lower by the 364 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 7: footing right and and and they still call it. Gary. 365 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 7: What the big issue? As a home inspect A lot 366 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 7: of real estate agents tell the buyer that the house 367 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 7: has a perimeter drain. 368 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 3: Mm hm. 369 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 7: And that's an issue because some houses only have a 370 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 7: curtain drain. It doesn't go around the whole building. It's 371 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 7: just it's on one or two sides. Okay, So that 372 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 7: can be misrepresentation making them feel it's a full perimeter 373 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 7: when it isn't. So when you were talking draina Joe went, 374 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 7: this is an interesting topic. 375 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: It's a topic we talk about a lot. I know that. 376 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 7: It really is. And a perimitive drain is the key. 377 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 7: It's expensive to do, but if you put a perimetive 378 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 7: drain in it will it will do exactly what that 379 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 7: man wants to do. It'll redirect water away from his property, 380 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 7: just like you said. 381 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. 382 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, Gary, wouldn't you say you need a place to 383 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 7: dispose of it? You know, where does it discharge? 384 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: Right? 385 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 7: That has to be. 386 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: Figured out right, so it might you know, we never 387 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: really got into the I didn't know the history, so 388 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: thank you, but we talk a lot about well you 389 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: can just imagine after doing this for forty years. I 390 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: always use the phrase it's not really about waterproofing, it's 391 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: all about water control. And so we talk about, you know, 392 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: creating swales like above, ground French strains below getting French strains. 393 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: But you're right, it always comes up. Where do you 394 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: exit it? And I was talking about the one I had, 395 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: but I have a creek bed at the end of 396 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: my yard, so I'm just catching the water and putting 397 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: it in the creek not much. 398 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 7: Do you like daylight it You can see it at 399 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 7: the out at the output, Yeah, light's right out. 400 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's perfect. In fact, I was telling Danny, I said, 401 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,719 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna call up and say, well, those things back up, 402 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: you still got the problem. And I go like, well, 403 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: that's why every year I got and I clean acorns 404 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: out of my out of my PVC pipe because and 405 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: not enough really to block it, to be honest with you, 406 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: but just get that debris out of their's key. I'm 407 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: sure if people have whord peeks out of the surface 408 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 1: right now, and with the crazy winters and heavy rains 409 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: we've had, you know, sometimes if you've got a little 410 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: bit of land in front of the outlet, you know, 411 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: they start getting weed start growing in there, and soil 412 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: starts getting washed in front of it, and you got 413 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: to keep them open and clean.

And that is, you know, 424 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: water is the number one enemy of your home. I 425 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: don't care if it's the basement, the cross space, the 426 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: upstairs bedroom, underneath the kitchen cabinet, if you have a 427 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: water issue. In fact, that's where we start out the show, 428 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: just talking about checking your valves that are underneath cabinetree 429 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: or underneath the toilet especially, and maybe you have a 430 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: bathroom the kids have moved down, nobody uses that bathroom anymore. 431 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: You gotta check those periodically because it always starts out 432 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,719 Speaker 1: as a little tiny issue, whether it's a little drip 433 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: or or and it becomes a big drip, a little 434 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: tiny drop of water that you think it's kind of 435 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: stained the ceiling, well, is it what's in the attic? 436 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: What's going on up there? I don't know. I can't 437 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: get up in the attic. Gets somebody to get up 438 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: there and look. I can sit here and tell you. 439 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: It could be the flashing, could be the shingles. It 440 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:30,479 Speaker 1: could be the boot around the you know, the the stack. 441 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: Those are good for about ten years, even though they 442 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 1: you're roost guaranteed for thirty you know that stack, that boot, 443 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: that rubberized boot. Ten years. It could be you know, 444 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: flashing and somebody call and ask, well, what is it? 445 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, And sometimes finding the 446 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: source of that is is a challenge. So but the 447 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: worst thing you can do is ignore it. And I 448 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: say that all the time. And if it's dripping from 449 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: a dry wall ceiling upstairs, got to get somebody in 450 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: there and find out what the sources. Hey, you can't 451 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: ignore it because the problems upstairs and some of the 452 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: biggest damage might have already occurred in the attic. James, welcome, howdy, Yes, sir, 453 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: I have a suggestion. 454 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 8: This works for everything imaginable. I caught the first, the 455 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 8: first thing that I ever saw happened with is, and 456 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 8: that my mind started growing thoughts after that. And that 457 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 8: was my aunt. I caught her putting turtle wax on 458 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 8: the walls of her on the walls of her shower. 459 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 8: She said, it turned about an hour task into five minutes. 460 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 8: Nothing would stick to it. And so I went to 461 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 8: the point of washing, removing ceiling band blades and washington 462 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 8: nice and clean and bleaching them down and making them 463 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 8: sure they're very clean and very dry, and putting wires 464 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 8: corvette wax on it, or putting turtle turtle wax on them. 465 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 8: And you can do the same thing to any shroud 466 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 8: for a blender, or a or a groat, or a 467 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 8: or a a even a coffee water boiler or or 468 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 8: a juicer a blender. And I've even done it on 469 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 8: my stovetop, so my landlord thinks it's brand new looking 470 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 8: stove top. So you get the you get the uh 471 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 8: crack fillain type. It works really good for your stove. 472 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 8: But if you do this to your ceiling van, and 473 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 8: the ceiling van is it's turning, it's generating static electricity, 474 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 8: and it's drawn the dust into so it's a main 475 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 8: collector of dust and and and if you want less dust, 476 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 8: you start at. 477 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: The top. 478 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 8: And I know this because I used to work for 479 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 8: this jan He was the one that told me all 480 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 8: this stuff. 481 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, we. 482 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 8: Him and I would go to this place that was 483 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 8: like thousands of square feet and these people had a 484 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 8: had fifty five gallon drums of lick of simple green 485 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 8: in there, right, and these people had white floors, and 486 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 8: by the time these people would leave for a week, 487 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 8: they had an eighth of an inch or more of 488 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 8: black everything.

Then we'd go to a bar 494 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 8: and suck up some beer and play some pool for 495 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 8: an hour and a half. And then we'd go back 496 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 8: and we'd suck up the mess and it looked like 497 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 8: pearly white dangers. 498 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: Sure, so this is the product that you're talking about 499 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: for all these issues, was the simple Green product? 500 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 8: No, that was just that was for the greasy floors. 501 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 8: For everything else, it is the car wax. 502 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right, Well, the only thing I was 503 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: going to say on that is again I think you 504 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: talked about using it on some the stoves.

All right, let's go 581 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 1: to Paul. Paul, Welcome, Hi Gary. Hey. 582 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 9: Last summer we and in August we had our driveway 583 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 9: replaced and I was done by a local company that 584 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 9: our neighborhood used and they were happy with and I 585 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 9: looked at some reviews and they were good. They came out, 586 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 9: they took up the original driveway and La grab one 587 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 9: rebar and it looks great. I steeled in the fall. 588 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 9: But after the herd range we had here in Cincinnati 589 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 9: a few weeks ago, some of the residual water that 590 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 9: kind of runs over curbs after that stuff, it was 591 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 9: had rust color in it and it's leaving like a 592 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 9: couple foot wide rust oranges looking stain and it's kind 593 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 9: of insightly, and I was just wondering any idea. It 594 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 9: seems like it must be from the rebar. And I 595 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 9: don't know much about rebar, but is that normal for 596 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 9: it kind of put off a rust. 597 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: Well, that's what I was just gonna ask you. If 598 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: it's coming up around the curve or something, is it rust? 599 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:09,800 Speaker 1: I mean, the rebars probably four inches below that concrete. 600 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, a new issue. And it's right at 601 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 9: the end of the driveway where it runs into the 602 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,320 Speaker 9: curve to the to the street. It's kind of battling. 603 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 7: I haven't talked with them yet. 604 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: I think that's what I would do to be honest 605 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: with you when you were first talking about I'm thinking, 606 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 1: I wonder if it's just mud. You know, mud would 607 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: be kind of the same color. But I know you 608 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,720 Speaker 1: can tell the difference between rust and mud. I always 609 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: remember being in Alaska watching rocks. They had so much 610 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: iron in them the rocks would actually rust. So if 611 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 1: iron or steel is present, there's certainly that ability to 612 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: create rust. Whether that rebar would be I don't know 613 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: why that would be showing up on the surface, to 614 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 1: be honest, Okay. 615 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, I didn't know if it would run up, if 616 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 9: it would have a rough and wear off and then 617 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 9: it would be good or something like that. 618 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it can certainly be cleaned off. 619 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: I would assume with some you know, mild acids, but 620 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 1: I think I would just touch base with them. I mean, 621 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,720 Speaker 1: if you can see where, you know, a whole path 622 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 1: of it, I mean, I don't know. I mean, I'm 623 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: I know rebar can rush through concrete, Okay, it can. 624 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: But after a year, if you're seeing a whole path 625 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,320 Speaker 1: of it just because of a rain not long ago, 626 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 1: I don't know what else it would be. But I 627 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,280 Speaker 1: don't think it would be it. But I can't see it. Okay, 628 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,799 Speaker 1: So a little bit of challenging question, but I would 629 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,280 Speaker 1: definitely touch base with him, and uh, you know, unless 630 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: it's right on the surface or I don't know, I 631 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Good luck. 632 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: Let me know what you come up with too. I 633 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: appreciate it if you would. That's how we all learn 634 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: and certainly can be Or maybe we have some rock 635 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 1: or gravel near it that has a high iron content. 636 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, it's about I don't know. 637 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 1: Eight missed before the top of the air tuck and 638 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: a little home improvement again. I was talking about how 639 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: you can pick up each hour of the show gets 640 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: some different advice. And as I've said many many times, 641 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 1: and we'll continue to say it is it's an honor 642 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: to do this show because there isn't a weekend that 643 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,760 Speaker 1: goes by that I don't pick up some bit of knowledge. 644 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 1: When he was first talking about the concrete driveway, and 645 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,920 Speaker 1: I hope this didn't happen to you, but I know 646 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: it happens. Say just had it replaced, and he was 647 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:04,399 Speaker 1: talking about out the bad weather and the rains. Well 648 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: you know what else we had in a lot of 649 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: parts of the country this year was a lot of 650 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: snow and a lot of people and a lot of 651 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: municipalties using rock salt, and geez he did. He didn't 652 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: have the problem because he did the right things. If 653 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 1: you heard him say, he goes like, you know, I 654 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,359 Speaker 1: had it and I sealed it in the fall, and 655 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 1: that's the key, because I'm sure there's people out there 656 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,320 Speaker 1: and I'll use this as a lesson. I'm not poking 657 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 1: fun at anybody at all. He made a nice investment 658 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: in a concrete driveway, and you know, it's been maybe 659 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: a few years since we had any big time winter 660 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 1: weather concerns, and we get this driveway put in, and 661 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 1: then we have a harsh winter. There's road salt in 662 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: the north in climates, and the cars are going up 663 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: and down and they're you're pulling your car into the 664 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,839 Speaker 1: driveway and you're hitting that curb, and you know, the 665 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,320 Speaker 1: pack snow under your car plops right on that apron. 666 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: And then about this time of year, you know, and 667 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 1: the weather warms and spring arrives and you start looking 668 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,240 Speaker 1: at this apron that you just had poured a year ago, 669 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: and there's all these pop marks all over it and 670 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 1: you're you're beside yourself, as you should be, and you 671 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: think it's faulty concrete. And I'm not gonna say it 672 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 1: couldn't be. It could be, but there's probably a better 673 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 1: chance that you know, being especially where the curb is 674 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,759 Speaker 1: going into your driveway and the salt trucks and snowplows 675 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 1: going up and down your street, that that rock salt 676 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: and that snow oh was sitting right on that apron, 677 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:10,320 Speaker 1: and when it melded, that salty brine solution penetrated deeper 678 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:15,240 Speaker 1: into the concrete and it's corrosive. And we talked about 679 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: sweeping up concrete, We talked about hosing down the driveway 680 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 1: when it got above freezing before it started running. I mean, 681 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,840 Speaker 1: you can take some precautions, but one of the biggest 682 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 1: protections from that is really sealing that driveways. Some people, 683 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 1: some contractors will put a curing agent and a cur 684 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 1: and seal is a product. In fact, it helps curing 685 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: the concrete and it helps seal the concrete, and that 686 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: offers you a little bit of protection. So if you 687 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,240 Speaker 1: do run into that problem, and I hope you don't, 688 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: it doesn't just happen with new concrete, but you know 689 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: that's where that's where it really hurts more. But we 690 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: had talked a lot about going into the winter months 691 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 1: about the importance of sealing concrete. Some people even call, 692 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: why do I need to seal concrete? It's hard, Yeah, 693 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: it is, but there's capillaries in that and if it 694 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: brings a corrosive material in there, it can compromise that concrete. 695 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 1: So if you do find that, give us a call 696 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: maybe in the next week or two we can help 697 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,319 Speaker 1: you with the repair of that. There's many things we 698 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: can do, from patching the little pot marks, the spawling 699 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:41,760 Speaker 1: of the concrete, all the way to going to resurfacing 700 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:46,479 Speaker 1: the concrete, and the products have come a long way 701 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,680 Speaker 1: in the years of being able to do that. You 702 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:53,399 Speaker 1: can have a cementatious resurfacing compound that goes on about 703 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 1: a quarter inch thick. You can have and have a 704 00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:00,239 Speaker 1: non cementation product that can be trialed over the for 705 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 1: s the country. So I'm sure we'll get into that 706 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 1: this year, that's for sure.
