We'll open up the phone lines. 28 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: It's eight hundred eight two three eight two five five, 29 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: and we're talking home improvement. We're also talking about cold weather. 30 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: I know this is our redundant little tip, but you 31 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: can't give it enough press if you will, because it's 32 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: easy to forget. I'm talking about the furnace filter. A 33 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: clogged furnace filter restricts airflow, and if it restricts airflow, 34 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: you're heating air and it can't get to all the 35 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: rooms in your home. Pleated filters about ninety days before 36 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: you should you know, before you have to replace them. 37 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: Got those big four inch filters six months if you 38 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: got the little cheap one inch without the plets thirty days. 39 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,119 Speaker 1: Now after I just told you where the you know 40 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: what the specifications are, let me change them, right, after 41 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: the holidays. We've had Thanksgiving, we've had Christmas, we've had 42 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: New Year's, we've had a lot of people in our homes. 43 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: Just back it down a little bit. If you've had 44 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: that pleated filter in there seventy seventy five days, change 45 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: it out, change it out. The more people you have, 46 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: the more activity you have in your home, probably the 47 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: dirty or that filter is now it's seventy days. If 48 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: you open that thing up and it's you know, really 49 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: really clean, don't worry about it. But if you can 50 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: see a lot of dirt in there, go ahead and 51 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: change it out, and it'll really help move the air around, 52 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: satisfy that thermostat. And that's key. One of the things 53 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: we will talk about today is we'll talk about different 54 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: seilers that are needed around your home on an ongoing 55 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: maintenance issue. I also want to talk about indoor painting. 56 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: Wonderful timey year to do some indoor painting. Back in 57 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: the day that never paint was really cold out. Well, 58 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: you know what, we got insulation in the walls.

Share it. We love tips like that, 63 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: and of course we'll take your calls again. It's eight 64 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: hundred eighty two three eight two five five Dale, you 65 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: lead us off. Welcome. 66 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I had a problem with my commode. Was say, 67 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 2: was it a flood Master that's in there? 68 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: The new Floodminster is a brand name, Yes, sir, all right. 69 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: It wasn't flushing all the way. So I checked it 70 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 2: out and hear that little I think styrofoam thing on 71 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: the end of the stopper wasn't working properly. 72 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: Okay? Was it chain hung up or something like that? 73 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: No, no, no, So I took about an inch and 74 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: a quarter fishing bobber and stuck it on there. Work's fine. 75 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: More in one way to skin a cat. 76 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: Huh, you got it? 77 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 2: There you go, all right, My wife's paging me. 78 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: All right, we'll get to work. Thanksdale, appreciate it. Yeah, 79 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: we had a big gosh, we had so many calls 80 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: on toilets last Sunday. It was crazy, wasn't it. All right? 81 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: So I thought he was going to say this, here's 82 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: another one. You know, when the toilet just won't shut off. 83 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: Here's something to look at. We don't need to get 84 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: on the whole toilet a vengeance again, but we can. 85 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: We can. And the hose that goes down the overflow tube, 86 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: you know, that's really connected and it's supposed to just 87 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: fit in the tip of that and shoots the water 88 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: fills up the tank and all that, but sometimes people 89 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: will push that thing down into that tube and if 90 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: it gets it down below the water line on the 91 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: outside of that tube, you're going to have it where 92 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: it just isn't going to shut off properly and it's 93 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: going to keep running. So that's you know a lot 94 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: of people going jiggle the flapper or the flush handle 95 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: and the flapper and no, no, that's that's really not 96 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: going to take care of it. You got to pull 97 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: that tube up a little bit to the top. Hey John, welcome. 98 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 4: Hi Gary, love your show. 99 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: A little colon morning. 100 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,559 Speaker 4: Is it calling about my daughter's house? 101 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: Uh huh. 102 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 4: She had an addition done about three years ago, and 103 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 4: she has a lot of degree coming into the attic. 104 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 4: And I haven't been up there, but I saw pictures 105 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 4: that she took and there's a ridge beam and there 106 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 4: appears to be about a I don't know, half inch 107 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 4: maybe three quarter inch of gap between that ridge beam 108 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 4: and the sheath, and she's got leaves and everything else 109 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 4: coming in, and you know, she had the ruffer back 110 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 4: out and he said he did the work properly. There 111 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 4: there's a ridge vent up there, and she had other 112 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 4: rubbers look at it, and they agreed that it was 113 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 4: done properly. Apparently this is just I don't know that happens. 114 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, so is the when she's had roofers up there. 115 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: Obviously I can't see it, so I don't know if 116 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: I can order, you know, give you much of an opinion. 117 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: Could the leaves and debris be coming in through the 118 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: ridge vent? You know there's baffles and different things in 119 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: there to prevent that. Did they say what was causing 120 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: the problem with the debris entering the attict to begin with? 121 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: M No. 122 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 4: They said that the work was done properly and that 123 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 4: sometimes that just happened happens, and she she had other 124 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 4: rubbers look at it too, and they agreed that the 125 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 4: work was done properly. Because there are a different like 126 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 4: type of roof ridge event that would you know has screens. 127 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I don't know if I can they're all 128 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: generally the same, but there are some that do have 129 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: better baffling systems. I don't have a brand name to 130 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: tell you. And believe me, if that was an issue, 131 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: that rufer that was there probably would have tried to 132 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: sell you that right to solve the problem. So did 133 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: they feel like the did they offer anything to her 134 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: about how they feel the debris got in there? I 135 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: mean they said, yes, sometimes that happens, and sometimes it does, 136 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: like in the north will have more. Uh, there'll be 137 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: sometimes snow will get into that attic just by the 138 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: way it's faced and you know, the direction of the 139 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: wind and everything else. It doesn't happen everybody, but yeah, 140 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: sometimes that does happen too. So I don't know, it 141 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: sounds to me that they're saying and well, that's just 142 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: the way it works. So that doesn't really help you out. 143 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: Obviously an answer that I would pursue, but you're not 144 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: going to pursue it now, And that is well, maybe 145 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: that ridge vent isn't the best answer to get the 146 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: air out of the attic. You know, there are different 147 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: types of other venting that can be done. It looks 148 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: a little more commercial maybe where it's not those ridge 149 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: vents are you know that you can see them, but 150 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: they're kind of hidden. They blend in the other little 151 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: shoe box vents on the roof itself. You can see 152 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: those as being vents. Maybe that's a better way to go. 153 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: I I mean, I would you know, she has any 154 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: more roofers come out and they you know, tell her 155 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: the same thing. I think, Well, what's the alternative how 156 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: I can vent this roof? Because you got to have 157 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: the roof vented. 158 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 3: Right right? Yeah? 159 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's a it's. 160 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: Not good to have that lead Well you know what 161 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: really bothers me? Yeah, I agree, nobody wants that. And 162 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: also I'm just you know, thinking that next step. You know, 163 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: one of the ways, you know, birds can get in 164 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: an attic and squirrels can get into an attic, And 165 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: to be honest, that's one of the main entry ways 166 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: for squirrels is is through a ridge vent. And I 167 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: always tell people, and I've talked to wildlife control people 168 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: where they go. You know, if you see a lot 169 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: of activity on the top of your house by your 170 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: ridge event, pay attention to that because they're up there 171 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: for a reason, and the reason is to try and 172 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: get into your attic. So you know, again, maybe that 173 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: ridge vent isn't the best option for her. I'd need 174 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: to see more to really give you other options, but 175 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: I think I would you know, at least you can 176 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: get a roof for pretty pretty easily right now, and 177 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: get up for another alternative, a way to vent that 178 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: roof to minimize what's going on there. 179 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 4: She's got pictures, Gary, would I be able to send 180 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 4: some pictures to you and you can take a look 181 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 4: at it. 182 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll put you on hold and Danny'll give you 183 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: the email address on that and I'll be able to 184 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: comment what I can. But again I would say, if 185 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: the roofers have been there with boots on ground and 186 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: they say it's installed properly, I think my answer would 187 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: be finding another alternative to venting the top of that roof. 188 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: Thank you much, John, I appreciate it, and we'll continue. 189 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: Ron Wilson, he's up next.

We started growing and getting more 277 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 6: involved with the micros and the dwarf tomatoes last year, 278 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 6: and everybody' said, whether it be indoors or outdoors in 279 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 6: a container, you don't don't grow in the ground growing 280 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 6: a container. Have just had tremendous success with these little things, 281 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 6: and you put them like you have you know you 282 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 6: always you and your wife have parties every Saturday and 283 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 6: some year home. 284 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, we do it all the time. 285 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 6: And if you had those sitting on the tables, your 286 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 6: guests can just like reach in and pick up eating peanuts. Yeah, 287 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 6: pick a couple of tomatoes, maybe have a small basil 288 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 6: plant there. To have a leaf, basil leaf and a tomato. 289 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: Would be like grazing animals. 290 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 6: You are a grazing animal. You you know what I 291 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 6: have been at. We're at parties where there has been 292 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 6: the great or dirve table and I were able, I 293 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 6: was able to almost hold my own with you. You 294 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:33,959 Speaker 6: are a grazing professional. 295 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: So anything I see in a store that's a fruit 296 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 1: or vegetable we can probably grow. So that leads up 297 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: to another question. We I'm going to ask this These 298 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: little mini potatoes we have right now about the size 299 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: of a what half dollar? Uh, huh. So you know, Ian, 300 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: So tell me how to grow those. 301 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 6: You can do it in a container, Okay, I mean grow those. 302 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: Are what's different about I mean I remember putting the 303 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: little potato things in the ground when as a kid. 304 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: That's growing potatoes. But how they do those little. 305 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 6: Ones that's and again that's some of those varieties stay 306 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 6: small like that. And some of those varieties are new 307 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 6: potatoes where they're harvesting early, so they're not allowed to 308 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 6: get large. 309 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: But I was wondering, but they're all like perfectly shape sized, 310 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: thinking they've got this genetically engineered potatoes. 311 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 6: They could No, they're not. I would don't say that, 312 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 6: don't say GMO stuff. 313 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: Then they're well, I don't know how they got that small? 314 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 6: No, probably not. But but again, harvesting has new potatoes 315 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 6: or some of the varieties have are now being grown 316 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 6: that they're a lot smaller like that. I'll tell you 317 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 6: another one. It's really easy to do in a pot 318 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 6: and you can do that this time of the year 319 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 6: in the house too. Are carrots. Oh yeah, and you 320 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 6: you go to a market, farmer's market right now it's 321 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 6: growing winter carrots and they just harvest them this morning. 322 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 6: Cleaned them off, brought them to the market and you 323 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 6: pop one of those in your mouth. You know you 324 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 6: never want to buy carrots in the store ever again. 325 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: Really, so that's not affected the taste at. 326 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 6: All, not at all. And they are so darn good 327 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 6: radishes the same way, all different kinds of radishes.

We're thirty three minutes after the 381 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 1: top and they are talking a little home improvement. Happy 382 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: to take your calls. Our phone number it's eight hundred 383 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: eight two three eight two five five And as I 384 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: look at the weather map, it's Birdie chili, especially in East. 385 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: Make sure you've taken precautions. Let's keep those pipes from freezing. 386 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: And uh, you probably know where the trouble areas are. 387 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: You're on your in your home. Hopefully you do and 388 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: you've fixed that problem in the past. But wherever copper 389 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: piping is exposed to some outdoor temperatures, it doesn't have 390 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: to be outside. It could be Let's see in a 391 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: garage that goes underneath the house, probably homes like that 392 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: build in the thirties and forties, the copper pipes running 393 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: along the ceiling of the garage. We don't have an 394 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: insulated garage door, we don't have inslation, insulation in the walls, 395 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 1: or you know anywhere where that when the outdoor temperature 396 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: gets real super cold at inside that garage gets below freezing, 397 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: those areas need to be addressed. Underneath sinks and older 398 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: homes where we don't have insulation in the walls, that 399 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: area needs to be addressed. Up in the attic. If 400 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: pipes are running up and you can see the copper pipe, 401 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: it's not in the study cavity. That needs to be addressed. 402 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: And how's it get addressed with insulation with pipe w 403 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: app If you have to go to the extent of 404 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: putting a pipe tape on air, where's warms it to 405 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: about thirty nine degrees, that's an option. Also make sure 406 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: it's you well listed. But plenty of ways to prevent 407 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: a disaster from happening in your home. And I don't 408 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: use that word lightly. If you have a pipe that 409 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: burst because the water in is frozen, it expands, it 410 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: splits the coppered line, and water begins to flow and 411 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: you're not home, that is a disaster that can do 412 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: a lot of damage. And so we want to take 413 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: care of those things. We want to try and prevent 414 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: that type of situation from happening. And maintenance is such 415 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: a key part of our homes. I'm talking about all 416 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: the things that need lubrication in our home that we 417 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: really don't pay attention to. And I'm talking about the 418 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: garage rage doors, I'm talking about the entry door, I'm 419 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: talking about the patio door. And it's not a big deal, 420 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: but it if a lock isn't really lubric well, it's 421 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: not gonna work. Well. I had this exact thing. I 422 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: have a uh screen porch in the back, have a 423 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: door that goes outside it's a you know, it's wood. 424 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: It's glass, full length glass both sides. One side opens, 425 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: so it's a hinge door. And when you come inside, 426 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: you pull the lever up, you flip the lock and done. 427 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: It's twenty five years old, and right around December we 428 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: had a cold snap. Went outside. I can't remember why 429 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: Mao was grilling. I came back in, pulled the lever 430 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: up through the lock, and went on my merry way. 431 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: And I'd say either probably the next day I looked 432 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: at that lon and it wasn't you know, twelve o'clock 433 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: eye right, it was like eleven o'clock and it's not locked. 434 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: Pulling up the lever, trying to you know, finished locking. 435 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: It wouldn't go, wouldn't go, couldn't pull up the lever 436 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: far enough. I was going on here, opened the door 437 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 1: and started watching the mechanism. I thought, I think it 438 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: just needs to be lubricated a little bit. My little 439 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: can of blaster out. Squirt Squirt on the throw on 440 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 1: the lever, Squirt squirt. I closed that door, pull up 441 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: the lever to flip the lock. Done. So you know, 442 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: wherever you have a mechanism probably needs to be lubricat occasionally. 443 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever lubricated that, so I'm 444 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: right there with you. You know, we fix it when 445 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: it breaks. But if it's not lubricating, it's not doing 446 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: the job, and it's difficult to lock. It's probably where 447 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: tears doing a pretty pretty tough job on that lock 448 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: to begin with. So I didn't use any graphite, I 449 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: didn't use any teflon or silicone. I just used their 450 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: multipurpose lubricant and it did great and still doing great. 451 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: All right. Our phone number if you'd like to join 452 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: us love to talk about issues you may be having 453 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 1: around your home.

For cold weather climates, dusting of snow 455 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: here and there, rock salt being thrown on the streets, 456 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: You walking across the driveway through the sidewalk in your house, 457 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: you're probably bringing that grit with you. Whether you're entering 458 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: your home and there's carpet, whether you're entering your home 459 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: and there's a laminate flooring, whether you're entering your home 460 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: and there's a nice wood floor that is not helping 461 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: those materials. Very important that you do clean the flooring 462 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: on a regular basis. I was in a retail store 463 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: and you know, everybody just bringing all this gunk into it. 464 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: And I literally they had a person there was doing 465 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: nothing but mopping the foyer of this store.

Don't 468 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: let that grit that people drag in on your shoes. 469 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: Either get the shoes off or make sure you're cleaning 470 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: that floor on a regular basis. And one of the 471 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: things we're talking about today is wood flooring and kind 472 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: of giving it a kick up, you know, stept the 473 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: bar a little higher. What's going on? It's kind of lost, 474 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: it's it doesn't look very happy anymore. I don't know 475 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: how old it is. How about yours could be just dirty, 476 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: could be the sheen has just had a brass when 477 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: people walking on and over time and it's kind of dulled. 478 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: Maybe you need to recote, maybe you need to refinish it. 479 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: We can talk about that, and also going to spend 480 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: some time talking about that. Since it's nice and cold, 481 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: we don't have much to do outside in many parts 482 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: of the country. I'm not saying if you're listening and 483 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, I look at the map, and even in Charlotte, 484 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: it's like forty one degrees this morning, so it's cold 485 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: pretty much all about. And you know, we can work inside. 486 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: We can take care of some of those projects now 487 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: so that we don't have to mess with them when this, 488 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, the sun gets warm and the bird the 489 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: birds start flying and flowers start blooming.

Clyde welcome, Thank you, Yes, sir. 493 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 3: My question is I had a carved up an ice pumpkin, 494 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 3: wanted to look at it and enjoy it. I put 495 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 3: it the fireplace. The pumpkin acid, a pumping acid got 496 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 3: to the cement in front of the fireplace there and 497 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 3: etched it. And I would like to refinish it so 498 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 3: it doesn't look be faced. 499 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: Well, I think we should blame Ron Wilson on that, 500 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: don't you. You know he probably told you where your 501 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: pumpkins in. 502 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:26,959 Speaker 6: I don't know. 503 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: So is that concrete area, Clyde? Is that real, real smooth? 504 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: I mean not where it's etched, but I mean the 505 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: finish around it. 506 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah, it's very very finished looked. 507 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: Yes, all right, Now where that finished look has been compromised? 508 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: Is it just pitted or is it? Can't be very deep? 509 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: It's obviously the surface. You can feel it. Can you 510 00:30:59,000 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: see it? 511 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 3: You see it very definitely and you can't feel it. 512 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but it's what how how deep? Is it 513 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: like an eighth of an inch or sixteenth of an 514 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: inch or is it more than that? 515 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 3: No, it's not more than that. Okay, maybe an eighth 516 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 3: niche Okay, So. 517 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: There's a couple options. And you know, whenever you're putting 518 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: concrete over concrete, it's it's a little challenging because new 519 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: concrete doesn't like old concrete. It's difficult to get it 520 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: to stick. There's certainly some products out there. I'm going 521 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: to take you to the website. You hear me talk 522 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: about a product called Dice Coating. Is probably a lot 523 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: because I think it's very unique. In fact, Peter Dice 524 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: is going to be with us today. We're going to 525 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: talk about a slip resistance sealer, which is pretty cool. 526 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: But one of the things there is you may not 527 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: you can refinish it. They've got one called I think 528 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: it's called patch fix. It's pre mixed. It's in a 529 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: gallon container. It is non cementatious, which is pretty dog 530 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: on neat, and you would clean it and then you 531 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: would just trial. It's almost like I hate to say this, 532 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: but it's almost like a spackling compound or a topping 533 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: compound on drywall that can be used on concrete. Very 534 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: easy to use, sticks, very very good, lasts longer because 535 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: of some of the acrylic resins that are in it, 536 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: and that's what I'd recommend to smooth it off. But 537 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna look a little different, right, I mean, no 538 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,959 Speaker 1: concrete looks the same. So there's another option also in 539 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: his same product line. There's one called roller rock, and 540 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: there's one called spreadstone, and it is not paint. It 541 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: is a coating, but there is color to it. You 542 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: can get a gray speckled it's almost three D like, 543 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,719 Speaker 1: so it's not just flat and maybe a little boring 544 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: like some concrete is. It's got a little bit of 545 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: decor to it and that can be put on with 546 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: a roller two coats and then sealed. I think, or 547 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: I know, that would cover up you know what you're 548 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: dealing with. It's very thick and it might add a 549 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: little little pop to it too. So I want you 550 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: to go to the website. They got all kinds of 551 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:34,719 Speaker 1: videos there and it's d A I C. Ch Coatings 552 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: dot com. Take a look at the patch fix, take 553 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: a look at the roller rock, take a look at 554 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: the spread rock and spreadstone. They're a little different textures. 555 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: It's and it's not a big rough texture. It's very 556 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: it almost looks like a choreon. It's very attractive. But 557 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: take a look at those and see if that ain't 558 00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: going to answer your question, Clyde.

Thanks for joining me on 605 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: this weekend. You're at home with Gary Sullivan. The color 606 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: that had debris in the attic. I think we covered 607 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: a lot of the things that could be He was 608 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: going to send some pictures. I'm sure he will, but 609 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:23,720 Speaker 1: just doing making sure I didn't miss anything, and I didn't. 610 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: But one of the things it says not to do, 611 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: not that I recommended that he do do it, and 612 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 1: that is the ridge vent. Don't stuff foam in there. Okay, 613 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: you're really really going to restrict the effectiveness of the 614 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: ridge vent. You may keep the debris out, but you 615 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,439 Speaker 1: also keep the air from going out, because that's what 616 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: that whole ridge vent does. Brings the air in from 617 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: the soft events up into the attic and pushes in 618 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: a summer the hot air out, and even in winter 619 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: time it just kind of you know, if you start 620 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: pumping warm, maybe the bathroom fan is vented in the attic, 621 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 1: which it should not be, but in a lot of 622 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: cases it is. It allows that to kind of escape. 623 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 1: But one of the things that did talk about was 624 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: and I mentioned a baffle. I didn't go in and 625 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 1: elaborate on it in this particular article. You know, quality, 626 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: there's different there, and I told him there's different qualities 627 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: of ridge events and I did not ask how old 628 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: it was. So a quality ridge vent has those built 629 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: in baffles, which blocks I talked about snow entering but 630 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: also debris, needles, snow, rain, anything can enter. The baffles 631 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: are important to make the ridge vent work effectively. Remember 632 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,959 Speaker 1: when I said, you mentioned like he had our daughter 633 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: had fire roofers. You know, I'm using that, but it 634 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: was multiple roofers come out and said, Oh, it's installed properly. 635 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: But what is installed properly? What kind of ridge vent 636 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 1: is it? Is it the older ridge vents which may 637 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: lack the baffle, or maybe a real inexpensive roof in. 638 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,920 Speaker 1: I would think if a plumber was there, an plumber, 639 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: a roofer was there and examining that would have offered 640 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: some solutions to the problem. He said no, and I'm assuming, 641 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: you know, maybe his daughter didn't do the follow up 642 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: question if it's installed properly, and we're still getting the 643 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: big question is why they would probably explain that and 644 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 1: how do I rectify that. I even went as far 645 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:58,479 Speaker 1: as to say, you know, maybe you just don't want 646 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,720 Speaker 1: to have that ridge vent there. I don't know, maybe 647 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: it's on top of a hill or something along those lines. 648 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: There's a lot of wind. Those are all different plays, 649 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: but I'm really relatively surprised of the amount of roofers 650 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: that were there to kind of inspect what was going 651 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 1: on that they didn't say, Yes, it's properly installed, and 652 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 1: the only way you're going to really rectify that situation 653 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,800 Speaker 1: is blah blah blah blah blah. And maybe it's replaced 654 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,879 Speaker 1: that rich vent. Maybe let's get a better one up there, 655 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 1: make sure it's got the baffles and it's a good 656 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: quality one and it's not going to cause you that problem. 657 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,839 Speaker 1: Or maybe this just roof bet is not really an 658 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 1: option for you. There's always a way to eliminate. Maybe 659 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,879 Speaker 1: it's the shoe box vents that you want to go. 660 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,839 Speaker 1: Maybe you just say I'm going to do a whole 661 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: house encapsulation. I'm not going to I'm not going to 662 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,879 Speaker 1: vent it out. I'm just going to do a whole 663 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,839 Speaker 1: house encapsulation. And looked that up. But that's a trend 664 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: certainly in the southeast. Uh in the Southwest. Mike, welcome, well, 665 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,760 Speaker 1: thank you, good morning, good morning. 666 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,280 Speaker 8: Hey, So how are you doing today? 667 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: Doing fine? Thank you? Great? 668 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 8: Great Gary A long time listener. I had a question. 669 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 8: I have a put in a water software system ut 670 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 8: about five years ago or so, and they run the 671 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 8: line that I guess it weren't purges itself run into 672 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:39,760 Speaker 8: the sump well. And for some reason my some pumps 673 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 8: I put in it wasn't even three years old. It 674 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 8: went out last spring, of course, and and I pulled 675 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 8: it out and put in a new one, and it 676 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 8: was covered with white, you know, And I'm wondering, does 677 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 8: that is that water good to be into the some 678 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 8: pump well? 679 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of them are sent to the 680 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: some pump. I would prefer prefer a floor grain to 681 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:10,440 Speaker 1: a some pump. That white, I'm sure is you know, 682 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: the byproduct of the salt, because as it's discharged in there, 683 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 1: that's you know, when people look at it to a 684 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: water softwirms, they always think about, you know, salt getting 685 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 1: into our drinking water, and that's not really the case. 686 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 1: But the salt water does get into the sewer system, 687 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: which goes into the water stream eventually, and this is 688 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: a direct shot right into the sump well. So you're 689 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: gonna have some of that residue. I don't know if 690 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: that had anything to do with the failure of the pump. 691 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:51,760 Speaker 1: Depends how the pump failed. Usually a pump will fail. 692 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: The most vulnerable part of that pump is the switch. 693 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 1: So if there's a bunch of efflorescence or salty crust 694 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 1: around that. You know, I guess it could affect There 695 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:08,400 Speaker 1: are some people, some people, some places that actually do 696 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:13,760 Speaker 1: not allow the brine in the salt to be charged. 697 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: You've seen or maybe heard of saltless water softers because 698 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,720 Speaker 1: they're trying to not they Again, there are some municipalities 699 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:29,400 Speaker 1: that are not I guess not recommending maybe even banning 700 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 1: having a that brine in that salt discharge into the 701 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,320 Speaker 1: sewer system. So probably not the best place to discharge 702 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,359 Speaker 1: it brother a floor drain, But I don't know if 703 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,280 Speaker 1: that was caused a failure or you're pumped. 704 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 8: Okay, well I'll look into that again. Thank you so much. 705 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: Great, have a great weekend. Thanks Mike, appreciate it. You 706 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 1: can grab a line.
