But happy to talk 11 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: about issues you may be having or maybe plans you 12 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: may have for the springtime. And one thing I would 13 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: like to get some input on. I don't know if 14 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: you have one. I don't know. Anyway we're talking with. 15 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: I was talking with a bunch of people talking about 16 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: powerwashing and kind of it's like addicting, and you know, 17 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: you start and then you find something else, and you 18 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: find something else. And I had one person say, well, 19 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: what do you think about electric powerwashers? You know, it 20 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: depends what you're going to use them for. They've improved 21 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: them a little bit up to two thousand PSI. Of 22 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: course the water volume also comes into play, but they 23 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: do a decent job, but usually it's gas gas gas. 24 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: And got to thinking, I know just about every outdoor 25 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: power equipment now has a battery operated products. I know 26 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: my friend Ron Wilson, he just bought a battery snowblower 27 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: and he loves it, and he was kind of talking 28 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: about the same thing. I just can't quit using it 29 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: when snows. I just I love this thing, how far 30 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: it throws the snow. And it got to thinking, I 31 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: know they make battery operated pressure washers. I have never 32 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: used one, and so I kind of put the the 33 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: back call out, I guess, have you got a battery 34 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: operated pressure washer? How's it work? Are you satisfied with it? 35 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 1: What's the strength of it? I remember when the very 36 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: first one came out, came out by a company called Homeworks, 37 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: and it really, my opinion, didn't even really qualify as 38 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: a pressure washer. Quite honestly. It was one battery. I 39 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: have no idea the voltage on it, but it was 40 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: probably twenty or forty volt and it was more of 41 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: a stick than a pressure washer, and it was maybe 42 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: fine for washing your car period. But we've come a long, long, long, 43 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: long way from there in just five six seven years, 44 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: I mean amazingly so so I know certainly about pressure washers. 45 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: I know, if you're gonna buy gas pressure and washer, 46 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: that's what I have. And just had somebody ask me 47 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: the other day is like, boy, I got a really 48 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: long driveway and not one, and I go, no, no, no, no, 49 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: get one of those disc on the front of it. 50 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: Use that and it's a circular spinning thing. You can 51 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: do a decent sized driveway and not much time at all. 52 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: But then I got to thinking about the battery thing, 53 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: and I really can't talk much about those because I 54 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: don't know much about them and haven't used one. So again, 55 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: if you have one, you're satisfied, you're not satisfied, you 56 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: can give us a call. It's eight hundred eighty two 57 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: three eight two five five And uh, I'm sure this year, 58 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: after the winter many parts of the country have enjoyed, 59 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: we're going to be doing a lot of things with 60 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: our concrete driveways. We're gonna be certainly addressing spawling, and 61 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: that's the surface in perfections, cracking, cleaning mold and mildew, 62 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: removing it's gonna be a ceiling. It's gonna be a 63 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: tough year for concrete mark my word. We're going to 64 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: take a lot of calls on that, and we can 65 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: always start with those calls now. And another thing we're 66 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: going to be taking a lot of calls on is 67 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: water stains in our house. Now. I talked about this 68 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Not a bad idea to 69 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: really just pay attention to what's going on your home. 70 00:04:53,760 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: Look for water intrusion, and you know, if you see it, 71 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: obviously you got to find where the source is and 72 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: you got to make that repair. If you don't see it, 73 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: or you ignore it, well, it certainly becomes a bigger 74 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: and bigger problem the longer you let it go. If 75 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: you see a little brown stain something along those lines 76 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: up on up on a ceiling or something that might 77 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: be an old water stain. But if you see it 78 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: where the you know it's kind of gray and it's 79 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: kind of you know, if it's dripping, for sure, you 80 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: know you got a water problem. But one of the 81 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: things you need to think about when you have that 82 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: water intrusion and it's active, is what's going on up 83 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: in the attic if that ceiling is up against the attic. 84 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: In other words, where's that water coming? Is it coming 85 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: from the boot around the vent? Is it coming through 86 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 1: missing shingles. I don't know where else it's coming from. 87 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: But if it's coming and its insulation's getting wet and soaked, 88 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: obviously you got to make the repair. You got to 89 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: make the patch, and then you got to get rid 90 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: of the insula. It's not just about worrying about the 91 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: water stain. We talked a couple of weeks ago about 92 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: a water meter where you can you can detect moisture 93 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: about the size of your hand, maybe a little bit longer, 94 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: two prongs nails that you puncture into the drywall and 95 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: it'll give you the moisture content of what's on the 96 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: other side. Ten twelve percent is where you want to be. 97 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: You start getting readings of twenty thirty percent, there's a 98 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: very very very good chance you got wet insulation, which 99 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: is about as effective as a wet blanket, and it 100 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: becomes the insulation compact, and you really need to get 101 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: up there and get that out of there. Obviously you 102 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: got to repair the leak first, but leaving that up there, 103 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: and I see people do that I don't understand. Again, 104 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: it's not effective when it's that wed. And of course 105 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: there's mold spores everywhere, you know, in our attic and 106 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: our bedrooms outside. That's how Mother nature breaks down organic materials, 107 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: and through water and through the spores of mold, it 108 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: can break down the wood, the dry wall, the insulation 109 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: of paper in the attic too, So you want to 110 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: get it out of there because it's going to create 111 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: literally a mold colony. And you've all heard stories of mold, 112 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: and we've heard stories of you know, smells and the 113 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: air itself being unhealthy and people getting sick and everything else, 114 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: and that's all true, that's not made up. Some people 115 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: certainly more susceptible to that than others. But the back 116 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: call says, get that out of there, fix the leak, 117 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: get that out of there, let it dry, make the repair, 118 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: and maybe you have to cut out the drywall, probably 119 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: patch the drywall, apply the insulation, and then paint the drywall. 120 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: Ignoring it is not going to get you anywhere except trouble. 121 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: So we can certainly talk about that too, along with 122 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: any other issues you have, and it won't be long 123 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: and all this weather's gonna behind us. It's gonna be beautiful, 124 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: will be sunburn, will be out gardening, will be doing 125 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: all that good stuff on the outside of our home. 126 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: And we can certainly talk about that if you are 127 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: talking about those projects. In fact, maybe in the next 128 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: two or three weeks we'll get some expertise about decks, 129 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: new types of products after in terms of composite decking, 130 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,359 Speaker 1: and in fact, next week on Saturday, we'll actually broadcast 131 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: from the Cincinnati Home and Garden Show and we'll be 132 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: having a lumber supplier and we'll be talking about just that. 133 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: We'll start changing gears a little bit.

My name is Mike Claypack, I 186 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 3: work for I actually own eminem Property Repairs and Improvements 187 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 3: in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and we've been inundated with calls, as 188 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 3: we are every year, with people all of a sudden 189 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 3: seeing water spots on their ceilings. One of the issues 190 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 3: in Minnesota that we have is a lot of the 191 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 3: homes up here are fitted their furnaces are fitted with 192 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: a humidifier, usually in april air, so on and so forth. 193 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 1: There's another. 194 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 3: But what happens is during our long cold snaps, I'd say, 195 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 3: when the weather gets below twenty into the teens and 196 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 3: we have long weeks of that. What happens on these 197 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 3: houses the attic lid where the ceiling meets the attic 198 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 3: has not been air sealed properly. So we have penetrations 199 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 3: for electrical plumbing and actually the scenes along the top 200 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 3: plates up in the attic, and most builders will just 201 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 3: insulate over the top of those. On most parts, Code 202 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 3: asks them to seal around plumbing stacks and some major penetrations, 203 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 3: but the minor penetrations, usually in a like a two 204 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: thousand or a fifteen hundred square foot house, can add 205 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 3: up to an area about the size of half a 206 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 3: patio door. Are more and what happens during these cold 207 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 3: snaps that moisture laden air in the house is seeping up, 208 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 3: filtering through the insulation up into the attic where it 209 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 3: tries to exit the roof. Up by the roof deck, 210 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 3: it produces frost. Well, this is going on twenty four 211 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: to seven throughout the day, throughout the night during these 212 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 3: cold snaps. I've recently in the last week, had about 213 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 3: thirty bids I had to go out on where there 214 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 3: was at least an inch or more of frost built 215 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 3: up on the underdecking of the roof. Sure well, then 216 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 3: suddenly we have a huge warm snap where it bounces 217 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 3: up to forty degrees and as we know, all that 218 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 3: frost melts and it overloads the insulation's ability to absorb 219 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 3: it and disperse in or spread it out, and then 220 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 3: seeps down to the vapor barrier, finds a spot where 221 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 3: a sheet rock screw has gone through the vapor barrier 222 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 3: into a stud and trickles down through the sheet rock. 223 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 4: Right. 224 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: Yep. I've seen that a lot myself too. And you know, 225 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: people don't realize. I mean when you talk about ventilation 226 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: of an attic, and a lot of times if I'm 227 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: not saying this is always the case, but if there 228 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: is improper ventilation and you don't have a good sealed area, 229 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: it exacerbates the problem. It's even more water. That's why 230 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: I always say, you know, make sure you find this source. 231 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: And a lot of times during this show, as I'm 232 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: sure you do on your day to day. You know, 233 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: people think they got a leak and it's condensation that 234 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: is frozen, or it's just condensation. I had one yesterday 235 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: on a garage floor with an uninsulated garage door, and 236 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: it went from real cold to real hot and the 237 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: garage was puddled, and she thought there was a leak 238 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: on the side. She thought it was the water table. 239 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: And eventually it's like, I think it's just compensation. 240 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 3: Yep. I see it all the time. In the last week, 241 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 3: I've crowled through attics where the insulation was soaking wet 242 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: to about three inches down in the insulation and the 243 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 3: areas with the air leaks. It was soaked all the 244 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 3: way through. 245 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's my suggestion, yep. 246 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 3: My suggestion for people, especially in the cold climate, when 247 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 3: we get air temperatures that drop let's say of twenty 248 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 3: to the teens and we're in an extended period of 249 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 3: time unless you have medical need, I suggest that you 250 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 3: work the valve for the supply to the april air 251 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 3: back and forth carefully and then shut off the water 252 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 3: supply during that cold spell. And if you you know, 253 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 3: that will help you mediate it. But you really should 254 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 3: get someone that's professionally is willing to do the dirty work. 255 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 3: Crawl up there, dig out the top plates, do your 256 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 3: air ceiling well. And that isn't just yep, for the 257 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 3: long term. If your insulation is destroyed, are super saturated, 258 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 3: like you said earlier, you should have it removed, have 259 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 3: the air ceiling done, and then have it replaced. Otherwise 260 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 3: it's basically like putting a band aid over its liver. 261 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, because we do have so many openings really going 262 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: into that I like you got can lights, like you said, 263 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: plumbing wires. A lot of times is the trapdoor that 264 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,239 Speaker 1: goes up into the attic is improperly sealed. I mean, 265 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of way and heat rises. So one 266 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: of the things that some people even can't get their 267 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: arms around. It's like, why do I need ventilation even 268 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: in the attic in the winter time? Gary, Because if 269 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: you don't, aren't real sealed here. We got to just 270 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: keep moving that hot air out. We can't trap it 271 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: in the attic or you're going to have those problems 272 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: for sure. And that's a great tip. I concentrate a 273 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: lot of time on leaks, and a lot of time 274 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:23,239 Speaker 1: we end up talking about, you know, just condensation, and 275 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: that's really what you're talking about. And I've always encouraged 276 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: people of just having humidity guides in different areas of 277 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: their home. You can get those little panel that's inside 278 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: the home and little sensors. Maybe put one into cross space, 279 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: one outside. Maybe you put one in the attic where 280 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: you can read where your humidity levels are. Because we 281 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: want to get that warm, moist air out of our 282 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: attic area. It's no longer doing you any good. That 283 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: ventilation is very key. But if you start having a 284 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: problem as he describes you, you know the same applies 285 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: as what I was talking about out when I was 286 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: talking about a leak. You've gotta get that stuff out 287 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: of there. You got to determine what the problem is, 288 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: how do we fix the problem and remove what insulation. 289 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: It's horrible for the wood, it's horrible for your health, 290 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: and it's not doing a buddy anywods.

The issue we're 352 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 5: having is we're aging now, is the composite is very 353 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 5: slippery with snow rain, no matter what it is. What 354 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 5: can we put on it to give us more of 355 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 5: a grip, So. 356 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: There are things out there. One thing you got to 357 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: remember is composite is fairly you know, maintenance free. When 358 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: we put a coating on there, that will have to 359 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: be over time replaced, the coating, not the composite. So 360 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: just keep that in mind. There is a a wonderful product. 361 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: Now it's not going to help you much with slow 362 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: with snow, right, I mean you have to remove the snow. 363 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: We'd probably have to even you know, if there's ice 364 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,479 Speaker 1: that forms, you know, that's a whole different ballgame. Now 365 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: if it's just a composite. And I know composite, I 366 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: know pressure treated wood gets slippery. I know garage floors 367 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: that are tightly trialed they can get slippery. There is 368 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: a product called track Safe tr ac SA FE and 369 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: it's a two coade system. You can literally put it 370 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: on anything. You can put it on ceramic tile, you 371 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: can put it on concrete, you can put it on wood, 372 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: you can put it on composite, you can put it 373 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: on stamp concrete, garage floors. The whole works and Tracksafe 374 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: is a product by Dice Coatings. Like I said, it's 375 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: a two coade system. Lifespan and a garage be about 376 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: five years outside. It depends how much sunlight it gets, 377 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: but it could do five years like in a covered porch, 378 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: on composite or something direct sun it maybe the sun 379 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: may beat it up a little bit in three years, 380 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: but track Safe we'll keep that from being slippery. 381 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 5: Okay. And I can find that at most are directing 382 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 5: that I. 383 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: Probably won't find out in any stores. It's pretty much 384 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: all internet based. You can get it at the home 385 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: Depot which is their website home Depot dot com and 386 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: get it lows.

But also I 395 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: know their particular website has a lot of really great 396 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: videos on different products things that we've talked about, like 397 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: the spread stone kitchen countertop kits, or the one that 398 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 1: looks like marble, or the roller rock on garage floor. 399 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: So take a look at him see if you know 400 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: you can pick up a little tip or two on 401 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: you know, surface prep or what that product will do. 402 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: But that particular product, I remember twenty years ago there 403 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: was a couple products that kind of came to market 404 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: and you could even put them on a stage to 405 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: create a slipper resistance on the wood stage of a 406 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: like theater or maybe a high school gymnasium that they 407 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: used as a theater. And they kind of went away 408 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: or I lost tract of them, and then Peter Diiche 409 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: came up with what I'm going to say. It was 410 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: about six seven, maybe eight years ago, and it's a 411 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: wonderful product. So it's dich codings dot com. If you 412 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: have an area that's you know a little bit of 413 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: a hazard. We had Peter on In fact, that's another thing. 414 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: If and we discussed that product, I'm gonna say it 415 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: was probably three maybe four weeks ago. If you get 416 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: those dates and go to the iHeart app put podcast 417 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: at Home with Gary Salvan and you can scroll back 418 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: by date. And I think we had him on a Saturday. 419 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: It could have been Sunday too. I kind of forget. 420 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 1: I think it was a Saturday though, And Danny's got 421 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: those labeled real nice. You know, Peter Tice talks about 422 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: slip resistant seilers or whatever, and take a listen. It 423 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: was a very extensive conversation and it was really an 424 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: interesting conversation. How versatile that particular product is. All right, 425 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: happy to talk about your issues at your home. It's 426 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: eight hundred eighty two three eight two five five. And 427 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: somebody sent me a picture yesterday and basically asked me 428 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: what is going on? And you're going to know what's 429 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: going on when I described the picture to you, because 430 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: I talk about it a lot, mainly because that kind 431 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: of damage to my home frightens me because it can 432 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: be costly. So this fellow send me a picture and 433 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: it was a picture of a gutter. The facia board, 434 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: and underneath the soffet and the sophat is where you 435 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: have sometimes ventilation strips to bring air into the attic 436 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: to push the hot air out of the attic, which 437 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: we were just talking about about half hour ago, to 438 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: minimize and eliminate condensation in the wintertime. And this board 439 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: was not removed. It was almost looks like it was 440 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: chewed or ripped or torn. And then there was a 441 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: rubber membrane which was ripped or torn. And he goes, 442 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: what's going on here? And I said, I'm betting raccoon. 443 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: Maybe squirrel, but I'm betting raccoon. And I said, you know, 444 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: right now, they're looking for places to nest, and your 445 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: home is very welcoming. Sometimes if there isn't real good maintenance, 446 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: it's easy entry for him, maybe like at the corners 447 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: of the facia board where there's a miter cut it 448 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: to corner, and if that has shrunk and expanded and 449 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: has pulled away a little bit man with their claws 450 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: they can get entry pretty good. This one almost looks 451 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: like there was some water damage, like they just scratched 452 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: and scratched and scratched and kind of tore in to 453 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: that soffet board underneath and then started chewing and ripping 454 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: the rubberized membrane in there. But that's what's going on. 455 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: So I bring that up again, just paying attention what's 456 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: going on, because once they go ahead inside your home 457 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: and start nesting, well, that can be that can be 458 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: a little bit bigger problem and a little bit more 459 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: expensive for sure. All right, let's go to Chris. Chris, welcome. 460 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 4: Hey Gary, I'm gonna be redoing our shower and just 461 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 4: wondering what do you recommend for the waterproofing system. 462 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 3: I know there's several of those out there. 463 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say Schlooter would be the one I'm 464 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: I like and probably is one of the leading ones 465 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: now for the base and going up the walls. What 466 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: are you going to put on the walls and things? 467 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: I mean, what is zechler are you going to do 468 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: with that shower? 469 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 6: Porcelain tiled? 470 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, So I would say the Shlooter system. Have 471 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: you looked at that yet? 472 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 4: Yeah? 473 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 3: I've looked at that and Kurty and then there's another 474 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 3: one out there that I looked at. 475 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm probably more familiar with a Shlooter one and it 476 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: gets really really good reviews. Again, I'm not so sure. 477 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: I do a consumer reports and tell you what the 478 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: pros and cons are on that one. I'm just more 479 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: familiar with that one. And again, like I said, to 480 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: get great reviews and certainly something i'd be interested. 481 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 3: Okay, a very good thank you.

We're 530 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: talking about your home, maybe remodeling in your future this spring, 531 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: maybe cleaning that deck and sealing it. And how big 532 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: of a pain in the tail is that you know? 533 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: We've been talking about this forever when pressure treated wood 534 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 1: first came on board, and that was probably the late seventies, 535 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: so it's been with us for a long time. And 536 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: that was going to be the end all, the end all. 537 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: You build a deck, you put pressure treued wood on, 538 00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about the rest of your life. 539 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: Sounds great. Well, that didn't quite work out the way 540 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: everybody thought it was going to be, and within four 541 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: or five years everybody's going like, I want to seal that, 542 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: I want to color that, I want to make it 543 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: look good. Gosh, it's great. It's split and it's cracking, 544 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: it's got splinters. And now we're always talking about, and 545 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: I mean always talking about the next best thing, how 546 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: do I keep from I spend more time working on 547 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: that deck than I do playing on that deck. And 548 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of great, major accomplishments from all 549 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: the way. 550 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 3: Now the. 551 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: Nano seals where it reflects heat, so composite decking that 552 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: doesn't get real hot. That's a great improvement. Anyway, we'll 553 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: be talking about a lot of that this spring and 554 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: summer as we keep keep that search going on our 555 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: phone number.

Yeah. 573 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: A lot of times we'll have different problems, and of 574 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: course a lot of the problems have multiple you know, 575 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: they're multifaceted. I mean, it's got like it could be 576 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: ten twelve things. And I remember that particular call. I 577 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 1: can't remember exactly what the problem was, but I think 578 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: it was like I'm getting low pressure, low volume, and 579 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 1: we went through all the things that can cause that 580 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,399 Speaker 1: from filters and everything else. 581 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 4: Is that. 582 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 1: The other thing is you'r welcome be dry. Pretty basic, 583 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: but hey, have you checked that? So he did in hooray, 584 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: all right, let's got rich rich welcome. Hi Gary, Yes, 585 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 1: are you doing fine? Thanks? 586 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 6: I was calling to find out do you know anything 587 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 6: about a steam emidifier. My son has a thirty five 588 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 6: hundred square foot home and he's got a furnace and 589 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 6: air condisering in the basement, and he's got another furnace 590 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 6: and air conditioner in the attic above the second level, 591 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 6: and he's looking at a carrier steam umidifier. He has 592 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 6: all carrier furnace and air conditioning. The one can admit 593 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 6: up to thirty four gallons of water a day. Okay, 594 00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 6: that seemed pretty lot. 595 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's a lot. What is it thirty 596 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: four gallons per day? Well, here's an interesting facet, Just 597 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 1: to kind of put it in perspective. I'm guessing like 598 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: I don't know a whole lot about the steam ones. 599 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: I actually have a water one that drips down through 600 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:19,320 Speaker 1: a pad. It's an april air had it for years, yes, okay. 601 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 1: But one of the things that's interesting when you say 602 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: that sounds like a water a lot of water. When 603 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: you first said that went, oh my gosh, that's a 604 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: ton of water. But you know your foundation of your 605 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: house below grade. During the course of a day, it 606 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,359 Speaker 1: can almost bring in ten to fifteen gallons of water 607 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: vapor through those walls. That's why our raasements are always 608 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: more humid. So maybe that's not so much and will 609 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: have it you mid a stat on it to control that, 610 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: like a thermostat. 611 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 6: I don't know. 612 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: I'm guessing it does. 613 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 6: You know sent me a picture the other day and 614 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 6: he asked me, you know if I knew anything about it, 615 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 6: and I said no. 616 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd have to do some research on it too. 617 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: I'm familiar, you know, the water ones in the pad 618 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,320 Speaker 1: and the maintenance on all that, but not as familiar 619 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: with the steam one. That would be the first thing 620 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: I would check. And I'm going to probably bet a 621 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: hot food Sunday that it certainly has a humid a 622 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 1: stat on. It's actually regulating your humidity based on outdoor temperature. 623 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: There's probably an outdoor temperature sensor and the reason for 624 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: that is, you know, if it's thirty two degrees outside, 625 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,399 Speaker 1: it's going to adjust that your indoor air humidity level 626 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: would be you know, thirty to thirty five percent. But 627 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: if you have a winner like many of us have 628 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: had this year and it gets down to fifteen twenty, 629 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: it's going to bring that humidity down your home. You 630 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,399 Speaker 1: don't want to get it too wet inside your home. 631 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: Your windows will start sweating. It'll probably adjust the output 632 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,839 Speaker 1: on that it, so in other words, you're not going 633 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: to get that much all the time. I'd go to 634 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: their website. They probably got some videos on it too, 635 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: and just get a little more familiar. But you know, 636 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: I just think in this day and age, it should 637 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: certainly have the eumita stat The upkeeper I would think 638 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: would be fairly easy with With steam, there's probably going 639 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: to be some sort of belt action or something to 640 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: you know, throw that out. I don't know if this 641 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: is true, but so there'll be a little maintenance with 642 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 1: hard water deposits and stuff like that, but there always 643 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,280 Speaker 1: is when you're using your mital fire. So just seeing 644 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: what that maintenances would also be helpful. 645 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 6: Okay, I appreciate it, all. 646 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: Right, very good. Let it helped a little bit. Thank you. 647 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,799 Speaker 1: Take care all right again. Our phone number if you'd 648 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: like to join us, it's eight hundred and eighty two 649 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 1: three eight two five five. By the way, if your 650 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: house is feeling a little dry this winter, or have 651 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,320 Speaker 1: you noticed or is it really dry? And if you 652 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: say yeah, I got to humidify on it. But my gosh, 653 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: my home is so dry. I don't know if you're 654 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: burning wood or your gas fire or gas furnace is 655 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,840 Speaker 1: doing whatever. But if you're running humidity levels, you know 656 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: twenty percent, you got to humidify. Why are you running 657 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: that low? Is it super super cold outside, is it 658 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 1: heavy humidistat is it turning it off? Or is that 659 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 1: water dripping over that media filter and then it's calcified 660 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: because we haven't changed that. So the water that's coming 661 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 1: into that humidifier is really not being absorbed by the 662 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: material in that pad, which is allowing it to stay 663 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,800 Speaker 1: wet and then the air blowing through and circulating throughout 664 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: the home instead it's a rock. And that happens a lot. 665 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 1: People have a humidifier. They don't do the maintenance. That 666 00:41:54,920 --> 00:42:00,040 Speaker 1: thing needs to be changed every year for sure, and 667 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 1: especially areas where you have really hard water, because that 668 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: water just kind of sets it. It's I don't know 669 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: inch and a half thick ten by ten square for 670 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:15,840 Speaker 1: the most part generalizing and that water is you know, 671 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: if you have like a you ministat on there, that 672 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: you ministat has a controller outside. You know, it senses 673 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,360 Speaker 1: the temperature, eumdity level and it tells you, youmidifier what 674 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,839 Speaker 1: to do, calls for water, and then if the selenoid's bad, 675 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 1: well it's not calling for water, so there's no water 676 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: over that pad. If that pad has not been changed 677 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: and maintained and the water's going over it, it can't 678 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: be absorbed, so it just goes right down the pipe. 679 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: You're just wasting water and you're getting no benefit. And 680 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 1: that's something you need to check. I've had a couple 681 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 1: of people friends of mine go like, yeah, this is 682 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 1: so dry this year. When was the last time you 683 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: serviced the well, you midifier, what do you mean? And 684 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,319 Speaker 1: uh Suddenly eyes open up and yeah, that makes sense. 685 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: I got to get that pad replaced in there. And 686 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: you know, things work a lot better when it can 687 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 1: be absorbed in it stays wet and then we can 688 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: disperse that throughout the home. So checking the home humidity 689 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 1: talk about that a lot too, very important for the 690 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: health of the home. We had some bamboo flooring yesterday, separating, 691 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:32,200 Speaker 1: which is very you know, susceptible to changes of humidity 692 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,560 Speaker 1: and low humidity it starts separating. We need to ask 693 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 1: what the humidity level on that home was. I don't know. Well, 694 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: those are things we do need to know on a 695 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: fairly regular basis, both in spring, summer, fall, whenever. Knowing 696 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 1: the humidity level on your home's important. All right, happy 697 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:53,479 Speaker 1: to talk about your issues that you have around your home. Plus, 698 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 1: in the next hour, we're going to talk about what 699 00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: you know, how those avalanches off your roof.
