We are at the Cincinnati Homing Garden Show 11 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: and this show might be a little bit unique, but 12 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: really kind of the same. What do I mean by that, Well, 13 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: it's going to be the same for sure. For the 14 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: first two hours, we're going to take your calls regarding 15 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: your home projects.

Let me give you 25 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: the phone number and go ahead and grab a line 26 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: because it'll be a busy one. It's eight hundred eight 27 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: two three eight two five five. So it's eight hundred 28 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: eight two three a two five five, and we'll take 29 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: your calls regarding your home projects or maybe some concerns 30 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: you have, or maybe some maintenance you want to do, 31 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: or maybe you notice, oh my gosh, that concrete sidewalk, 32 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: it took a beating this winter. So where I'm at 33 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: it's kind of warm now, I said, the show, it'd 34 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: be a little bit different because in the third hour 35 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,119 Speaker 1: and the fourth hour we are surrounded with some wonderful 36 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: companies in the greater Cincinnati area. And I've learned as 37 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,839 Speaker 1: I've done home and garden shows and home shows over 38 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: the last forty years, is there's a lot of experts 39 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: here and that offer a lot of different services. Now 40 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: they may not have that exact service in your city, 41 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: but one thing they do have is the knowledge to 42 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: help us find those people, talk about those people, and 43 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: also eliminate the problems. For instance, I get this question 44 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: asked a lot. It's a service. I haven't seen them 45 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: here because I haven't walked the entire show, walked about 46 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: half of it. And that is Oh my bathtub. It 47 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: is worn, it is old, it is disgusting. I don't 48 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: want to replace the beths of it. I just want 49 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: to refurbish it. Can I do that? Sure? And we 50 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: may talk to them in the name of that company 51 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: is Miracle Method. You probably heard me talk about him. 52 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: But that's where we learn about these companies that can 53 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: really help us out getting some of those projects done. Now. Also, 54 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: as we talked last week, my good dear friend Ron 55 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: Wilson is sitting around in his pj's today. He is 56 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: officially retired. Scott Berlin has taken over his position. A 57 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: unique show. I heard it this morning and let's garden 58 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: it says, and with Scott Berlin. And we'll talk to 59 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: Scott here at well in about ten minutes or so 60 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: and kind of get his perspective. I love the phrase 61 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: he used because I kind of use a phrase like that. 62 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: And he's talking about a little segment what should I 63 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: have done this week or what have I done. What 64 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: should I be doing that I should have done yesterday? 65 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: We'll let him say it. It's his phrase anyway, but 66 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: how true that is? Even in home repair? I coined 67 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: the phrase a long time ago that you know that 68 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: five dollars repair that you can make today. You see 69 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: a little peeling paint, All it's going to take is 70 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: a little removing the peeling paint. A little primer may 71 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: not even need to patch it, and some top coat 72 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: might take you half out of that. A little five 73 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: dollars repair will quickly become a fifty dollars repair, and 74 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,679 Speaker 1: if you continue to ignore it, it'll become a five 75 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: hundred dollars repair. So we don't want to wait a year. 76 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: We should have done it yesterday. So we'll talk about 77 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: how that matches up with the guarding perspective with Scott. 78 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: So in the meantime, grab a line, happy to take 79 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: your calls again. It's eight hundred eighty two three eight 80 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: two five five. You know when I talked about cleaning 81 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: up the garage and stuff one other thing. If you 82 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: have any questions regarding what to do with that crush floor, 83 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: we're going to address that in our number three and 84 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: in our number four. I always talk about the dice coatings. 85 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: That's something you can do. I've talked about staining that concrete. 86 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: That's something you can do. I've talked about just cleaning 87 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: the floor and pressure washing. That's something you can do. 88 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: Getting organized. If you've got peg board, maybe it's been 89 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: a long time since you went through your tools. Last 90 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: week we talked about cleaning them and sharping them and 91 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: you know, taking care of them. But they all, you know, 92 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: they all need their attention, and organization is one. Cleaning 93 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: and sharpening is one. I'm sure Scott can talk about 94 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: that too. I heard him talking about the you know, 95 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: lawnmowers and making sure they're ready. How true is that? 96 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: So he's looking ahead. I'm looking ahead, and we're working 97 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: on things that you should be you know, up to 98 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: speed on on what you may need to do around 99 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: your home. I'm going to continue to harp over the 100 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: next probably two months about looking at the humidity level 101 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: in your home. We've been cold, we've been warm, we've 102 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: been dry, we've been wet, so that humidity level inside 103 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: the home can probably be bouncing around from anywhere from 104 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: twenty percent to maybe fifty sixty percent and it's so 105 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: critical that you keep that in bounce. I'll be happy 106 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: to talk to you about that too. All right, let's 107 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: get to the phones, and Andy you lead us off. Welcome, Hey, 108 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: good morning Gary. 109 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I want to talk to you about basement 110 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: floor paint and the current issue I have. Okay, let 111 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: me set the stage. Got about one hundred and thirty 112 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: five year old farmhouse. Sounds like Scott's stone wall block repaired, 113 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 2: but have not had a lot of water intrusion. Very 114 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,799 Speaker 2: little old house built on a hill, no sump pump, 115 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: just a hole in the floor that goes down over 116 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: a hill. Okay, So trying to clean it up, rehabit. 117 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 2: Painted the walls with dry lock extreme waterproofing paint that 118 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 2: got it lows. Went on like plaster Paris. That was 119 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: pretty heavy paint. Did two coats of that on the 120 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: walls and two coats on the floor. The floor is 121 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: dry and was so we the walls that dried fairly quick. 122 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: Basement's cool fifty degrees from Central Ohio went on great. 123 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 2: We didn't like the color the floor, and the paint 124 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: said it was not suitable for heavy traffic. Good for 125 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 2: walls camped on the floor but not suitable for heavy traffic. 126 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 2: And you could recode it with a different paint if 127 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 2: you want to, you know, because this is flat gray. 128 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,239 Speaker 1: Okay. 129 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: So we decided to paint the floor again after probably 130 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: forty eight hours of the initial code. We painted it 131 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: with some valves Bar plain old gloss basement floor paint. 132 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: Okay. 133 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 2: We did that finish at five o'clock on Thursday. It's 134 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 2: still tacky today and you don't know why. 135 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: I will tell me about the paint. Yeah, you know, 136 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: you said a couple of things. You know, it's kind 137 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: of damp anyway, and it's cool, so that's going to 138 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: have something to do with it. I don't know. That 139 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: seems like a long time, I guess. My first question 140 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: is the paint that you use. Is that an acrylic 141 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: floor paint? Is it an oil? Is it an epoxy? What? 142 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: What type of paint is it? 143 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 2: Both paints? The dry lock is a water based enamel, okay, 144 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 2: tax enamel, and so is the valves Bar. It is 145 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 2: also a latex enamel, okay. 146 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: And I'll bet you on the dry time on there, 147 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: it's probably anywhere between two and eight out hours. 148 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: Right it said light traffic and twenty. 149 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: Four twenty four okay, all right, you know what the 150 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: humility level was in that basement. 151 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 2: I don't, but I do. We keep the humidifier down there, 152 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 2: and I moved it from the forty five percent to 153 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 2: continuous operation after the first twenty four hours. We finished 154 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 2: the paint probably five pm on Thursday, started a three 155 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: the floor paint, and I'm like, I'm going on forty 156 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 2: eight hours today and I'm still not well. 157 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: Here's what I do. I don't think it's is it 158 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: just tacky? I mean, like or is it? I mean, 159 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: you can't if you put your finger on, you're not 160 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: coming up with pain. It's sticky, correct. 161 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 2: I can walk on it. We're walking on it and 162 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 2: doing some stuff.

And maybe you just moved into one of 286 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: those newer homes. Yeah, and I see them in in fact, 287 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: it's my number one pet peeve. As you'll drive by 288 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: and there's this big two story house in the middle 289 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: of what was a farm, and there's eight feet of 290 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: foundation showing and there's a door up there, and then 291 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: there's pressure treated wood steps that go down to nothing 292 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: into the yard and they're unstained and it just looks 293 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: like a sore thumb to me. 294 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 6: And I get hives when I see those houses. 295 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: I get hot, crazy, I go. So I'm always thinking 296 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: if I asked that person, they would say, well, we 297 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: don't have enough money to put in a deck, and 298 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,719 Speaker 1: I get that, right, But what about now getting a 299 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: garden hose out there and laying out your dream deck 300 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: and start planning your trees now, because everybody wants their 301 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: tree yesterday. 302 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 5: That's yeah, you know, And I should have brought that 303 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 5: up with my son. And that's a heart line or 304 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 5: a horticultural hotline segment. Getting trees started first when you 305 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 5: move into a new home is absolutely got. It has 306 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 5: to be your top priority because it takes time for 307 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 5: that shade to come in, and you'll need that shade 308 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 5: when you do have the finances to go out and 309 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 5: start doing some of these you know, things like decks 310 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 5: you have at least right right, you will be surprised, 311 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 5: you know, how fast trees grow. 312 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: Gosh, no doubt. I've been in my home twenty five 313 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: years and there was a little tiny pin o thing's 314 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: like forty five feet doll now, I mean it's monstrous. 315 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 5: People always think, yeah, oh, it's going to take years 316 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 5: and years for trees to grow. 317 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 6: That's true. 318 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 5: But you can start getting shade fairly quickly, you know, 319 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 5: much sooner than you think. 320 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: And another thing is if you're going to put a 321 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: deck right by it, I'm going to use this word. 322 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: You correct me if I'm wrong. There's some trees that 323 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 1: are dirty trees. There's other trees that are a little cleaner, 324 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: and you can make that decision now. 325 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 5: Right, do your research, figure out the right tree, the 326 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 5: best one for that situation. And you know you don't 327 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 5: want something too big, too close to the house.

How are you. 386 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm doing fine? Thank you. Hey. 387 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 3: I have one of these fiberglass shell showers in my 388 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 3: master bathroom going on twenty five years old, and it's 389 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 3: time to replace it. And I see all these ads 390 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 3: for the crylic wallsh hours done in a day, that 391 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 3: kind of thing, and you know, it just doesn't seem 392 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 3: possible to put in a quality shower in that amount 393 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 3: of time, given all the inspections, and you know, the 394 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 3: dry wall that probably needs to be replaced, and the 395 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 3: plumbing and so forth. And I'm just wondering if those 396 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 3: types of replacement companies that are legit. 397 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: Well, they're legit. I mean, I'm sure there's some that 398 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: are not legit, but overall, I would say they're legit. 399 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: But but there is a difference in quality, and that's 400 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: you know, there's there's no lack of advertising for shower replacements. 401 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I said, the radio, the TV, everybody, you know, 402 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: it seems like, you know has a business like that. 403 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: But there's such a demand. I mean, you go back 404 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: probably in the seventies and eighties, and even before that, 405 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: they had green board behind ceramic tile, which was going 406 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,719 Speaker 1: to be the end all. Well it wasn't got soft 407 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: and people are start tearing out the As one plumber 408 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 1: told me, green board has kept my life good. Uh 409 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: So anyways, that gets it. So you have choices, and 410 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: I'm sure one of them is financial too, you know. 411 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: I mean that's going to factor in. Just to give 412 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: you an idea. There's certainly some and I'll call them 413 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: plastic but fiberglass wall systems that you can buy in 414 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: a big box store and have somebody install them. Those 415 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: are usually, you know, not the highest quality. There's Rebath. 416 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: I saw their booth here at the show when I 417 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: walked in. It was the first Rebath bath fitter. Those 418 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: are Those are pretty good thick quality shower enclosers. I 419 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: mean they really are. They do a really really good job. 420 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: There's also this one I was just introduced to. It's 421 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: very cool. It's it's panel that you put up a 422 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: track system and you slide these panels and so it's 423 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: like slabs of acrylic or a manufactured stone or something. 424 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 1: A long nose lanes probably a little bit more expensive, 425 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: but they're gonna last a lot longer. They're more durable. Unfortunately. 426 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: My answer is you just got to get in there 427 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: and talk to some of these people and get some 428 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: bids and feel the material and know what they're going 429 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: to do. That that would probably be the best way, 430 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: because you know, you don't want to put something thin 431 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: and flimsy in. You want something that's gonna look nice, 432 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: look like quality, and maybe you know, is less expensive 433 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: than coming in and putting a shooter back on the 434 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: studding of the wall and then putting ceramic tile, though 435 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: that's an option too. It really depends on what you want. 436 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: Same with the shower enclosures, or do you want to 437 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: just have a you know, a shower rod and a curtain. 438 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: I mean, there's just a lot of different things to consider. 439 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 3: Would you recommend tile at this stage? 440 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: Well, tile is always I think gonna look really nice. 441 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: I mean, to be honest with you, it's gonna look beautiful. 442 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: I have tile in mine. I had the big slabs, 443 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: maybe twelve by five, probably sixteen by eight is probably 444 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: what they are. We're seeing bigger pieces of material because 445 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: then there's less grout to clean. The type that I 446 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: was talking about where it had the big slabs and 447 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 1: I just kind of learned about this new product. It 448 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: slides on and it has no grout, it has seals 449 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: in the tracking. Very cool stuff. 450 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 3: Do you know what that's called? 451 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: No, I knew you were. I was only waiting for 452 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: that question. I don't remember. I don't remember, okay, but 453 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: I all right, well, good luck. Really, yeah, you just 454 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: just get a couple of people. I know, it's time consuming. 455 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: That's why I always say, never we're ready for a 456 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: big project, really educating yourself because there's financial decisions, there's durability. 457 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: Are you going to be in the house for a year? 458 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: Are you going to be in the house forever? I mean, 459 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: you know, you just got to factor all that in 460 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: and then you get into the cosmetics and that, you know, 461 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: that's another that's another part of the decision. 462 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 3: Right right, Okay, Well, I appreciate you inside. 463 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: Thanks all right, send pictures, all right, thanks, appreciate it, 464 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 1: all right. Thirty eight minutes half to the top of 465 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: the are and of course we're talking home improvement. It's 466 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three eight two five five, and 467 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: let's go to Patty. 468 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 7: Patty welcome, Hey, good morning, Gary. 469 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: How you doing doing fine? Thank you? 470 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 7: I have a follow up to the shower question. We 471 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 7: want to replace our walk in fiberglass shower. I went 472 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 7: to the Cleveland Home and Garden Show. There was at 473 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 7: least a dozen companies we've had I've come out to 474 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 7: the house, yep. And my question is about the type 475 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 7: of wall. We have three companies that are pushing acrylic, 476 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 7: one central, which I guess is a PBC composite, and 477 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 7: the others like a stone composite. And you're right, there's 478 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 7: quite a difference in price. But would you have any 479 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 7: reservations about using acrylic? The company we're interested in right 480 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 7: now is going to mount it to a three quarter 481 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 7: inch marine board all the way around, So. 482 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: No, I you know, it goes back to the same 483 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 1: questions I asked the other person quite honestly, you know 484 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: how long you're going to be in the house. Does 485 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: it meet your the cosmetics? Does is that a good look? 486 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: Is that the look you want? Or is that the 487 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: look you can afford? I mean, I just throw that 488 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: out there, and you know, is there a warranty on it, 489 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: the durability anything along those lines. You know about the 490 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: one you're kind of leaning to, Well, they. 491 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 7: Say the company is going to be a lifetime warranty. 492 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: So what's that mean. It's like it's not lifetime as 493 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: long as you're now Okay, Well, that's a pretty good warranty, 494 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: and it's a big brand name that's been in business 495 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: for a while. It's just not a yes, okay, okay, 496 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: well you know again, I try not to do a 497 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: consumer reports show because I haven't actually made that purchase, 498 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: so it wouldn't be very fair for me to just 499 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: say no, I want you to go with this. I 500 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: think your stone composite. It's probably going to be a 501 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: little better, probably a lot more expensive, but I'm those 502 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: are crillic. Gosh, they've been around now for probably a 503 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: good twenty five thirty years. I've been to job sites 504 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: when they install them. I think there's even a couple 505 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: that are seamless where they actually get a heating rod 506 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: and actually bend it so there's no corner seams. 507 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 7: They'll be three panels. 508 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: So okay, okay, I'm just telling you about different ones 509 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: that are out there. But you know, I would it 510 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: sounds like you're, you know, with a good company that's 511 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: got a good warranty. I would ask for some references 512 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: and go from there. 513 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 7: Okay, great, thank you very much, You're quite welcome. 514 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: Thank you, Take care, you know, and just hit the 515 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,959 Speaker 1: pause button for a second as you go through. And 516 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: she talked about being at the Cleveland Home and Garden Show. 517 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here at the Cincinnati Home and Garden Show, 518 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: and as I walked in, I probably saw I don't know, 519 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: say fifteen to twenty different boosts. And in that fifteen 520 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: twenty different boosts, there was you know, probably four or 521 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: five competing brands in those fifteen to twenty, not just 522 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: in bathrooms, but in all kinds of things. You got windows, 523 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: you got doors, you got waterproofing, companies got you got 524 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: you know, bathroom modelers. And the reason there's so many 525 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: choices is because people do it different ways and there's 526 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: different cost. You know, when somebody said, do you like 527 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: ceramic todd, Yeah, I do, but you know I have 528 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: it only in my master bedroom. I don't have it 529 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: in all the bathrooms. So factor that in. So it 530 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: is cosmetics, it is cost, it is reputation of the company, 531 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:19,239 Speaker 1: It is warranty. I mean, just do your homework, that's all. 532 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: Ask for references, find neighbors that have maybe used different products, 533 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: I will say, and I said it at the beginning 534 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: of the show. You go to a show like a 535 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: home and garden show, whether it's here or in California, 536 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: a lot of time you're more top shelf service companies 537 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: are here and have been here for many, many years, 538 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: and that's a good place to get some good names, 539 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: and it's a good place also to get some of 540 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: those questions that we just talked about. You're not going 541 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: to get a bid there, but you might get an idea. 542 00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: You know, how's that compared to this? Or what is 543 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: your claim to fame on your particular product? Ask those questions. 544 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: You know, most of us will ask questions like that 545 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: when we buy a car, and so the same thing 546 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: holds true when we're doing remodeling. All right, again, it's 547 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: eight hundred and eight two three eight two five five 548 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: quick break and then we're gonna get to Teresa.

I think that's the 598 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: name of the show. Yeah, all right, that's the name 599 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: of the show. Let's go to Teresa. Teresa, Welcome, Garry. 600 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: Yes I am. 601 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 8: I'm coming because my stink in one of my fare 602 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 8: bathroom when I was cleaning, I noticed when I turned 603 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 8: the water on, it came out so forceful. So I thought, 604 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 8: I'm going to turn down that pressure. So I went 605 00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 8: under the sync turned the nozzle on the cold water water. 606 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 3: To squirt out of it. 607 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 8: That's like, oh, criminy. So I turned it back to 608 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,240 Speaker 8: where it was and I wiped it and I didn't 609 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 8: feel that it was thripsing. But it's bothering me. Is 610 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 8: that something that I should worry about? 611 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I would say I would get that valve 612 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 1: at placed. I mean, it's it's really I don't know 613 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: if it's much pressure as it is volume. And it's 614 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: interesting you turned it down and then water squirt it 615 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 1: out of the valve. 616 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 3: I may have turned it up. 617 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 8: I don't know, but yes, it just came out of 618 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 8: the Yes. 619 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: And where did it come out? Right underneath the handle? 620 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 3: Yes? 621 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: Okay, so you might be able to repair that valve. 622 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,760 Speaker 1: But those valves are only like five or six bucks. 623 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: So I would probably repair the valve or have some 624 00:36:54,480 --> 00:37:00,919 Speaker 1: or replace the valve. Relatively, it can be easy to do. 625 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: In other words, you would shut off the water, you 626 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: would open the valve, you get all the water out 627 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: of it, and then there's probably three ways that valve 628 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: depends on how old it is. Is connected to a 629 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: copper pipe. I'm assuming it's connected to a copper pipe. 630 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: It could be connected to iron pipe with threads too. 631 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 8: It's twenty six years old. 632 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: That probably copper, probably copper and probably twenty six years old. 633 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:35,760 Speaker 1: It's probably connected to the copper pipe with a compression fitting, 634 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: or it's soldered, but it's probably a compression sitting. So 635 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: in other words, there's a you know, the valve. It 636 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: depends if it's angular or straight. But the one that's 637 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 1: connected to the copper pipe. There should be a nut there. 638 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 1: When you take that nut off, that valve may just 639 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: slide off. And if it is, you can get the 640 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: valve and take the nut off in the ring and 641 00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: just slide it back on the copper and tighten up. 642 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: That may do it. I can't see it, so hard 643 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,320 Speaker 1: for me to say definitely would do it, but it 644 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,919 Speaker 1: very well may. That may be, though you know, there's 645 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: obviously something wrong with the valve in there was probably 646 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 1: the packing in the right underneath the knob or the 647 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: handle of that valve. There's a little nut there and 648 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: there's a packing in there. I guess it's there and 649 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,760 Speaker 1: that's what it's leaking. But again I think, I, okay, well. 650 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 8: You're speaking Greek to me, so I think I'm best 651 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 8: having someone come take care of maybe all of them. 652 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: There you go, yeah, yeah, okay, all right. 653 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 8: I just I didn't want to let this go and 654 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 8: come home to a flood. 655 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: Well that's probably a real good plan. All right, thank 656 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 1: you much. You do the same. Now. That's one of 657 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: those things that one of the tips I've shared off 658 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: and on for many years is I'm not telling you 659 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: to go rush and do that but it's not a 660 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: bad idea to go ahead and shut off the valves underneath, 661 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 1: maybe underneath the toilet, maybe underneath the vanity, maybe underneath 662 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: the kitchen sink. Shut them off and turn them back 663 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: on and see if you get a leak, or see 664 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: if it functions. You know, sometimes those things just get 665 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: a little corroded and then when you really got to 666 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: turn it off, you can't turn the thing off. But 667 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: be prepared that when you go through that process of 668 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 1: seeing if everything's all right, sometimes it isn't all right. 669 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,839 Speaker 1: And then you're going like, why did that guy tell 670 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: me to test those valves, because now it's leaking everywhere, 671 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 1: No kidd, and that's why we tested it. But what 672 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: can happen over time is when that valve is on, 673 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: at what point does it just start dripping? And if 674 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: it's underneath a like a kitchen sink and you got 675 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 1: nice camnetry and that thing's leaking underneath the kitchen sink, 676 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: and I don't know what you store underneath your kitchen sink. 677 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: Some people have nothing, some people have a lot of cleansers, 678 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: which I don't really like. But if you get a 679 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: slow drip under there, what's gonna happen. Yeah, that whole 680 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: cabinet floor is just going to get wet. It is 681 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 1: just going to eventually rot, and then all of a sudden, 682 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: my old five dollars repair will quickly become a fifty 683 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: dollars repair, quickly become a five hundred dollars repair. That's 684 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 1: exactly where those things go. That's why I'm always talking 685 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: about that. Walk around the house, take a look at 686 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,839 Speaker 1: what's going inside your home, take a look at what's 687 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: going on the outside of your home. And it's not 688 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: a bad test to do if you haven't done it, 689 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: but just be prepared of the results. Or as she said, 690 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: it's twenty six years old. One of them is having problems. 691 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: Maybe all having problems. Maybe your water pressure's too high. 692 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: There's two different things volume in pressure. So volume is 693 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, usually got the size of the pipe and 694 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 1: then you got xyz amount of water, so volumes. One thing, 695 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: pressure is like blood pressure. How much pressure is on 696 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 1: that pipe. And if you have copper pipe, probably really 697 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 1: shouldn't exceed eighty psi. If you have plastic pipe, some 698 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,320 Speaker 1: people say you can go eighty. I prefer not getting 699 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 1: it over sixty five seventy and you can get a 700 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:43,400 Speaker 1: pressure reducing valve installed. You can also measure the pressure yourself. 701 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: Now you don't measure it from the valve underneath the sink. 702 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: You're actually measuring the pressure on a host bib outside 703 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: of your home. And just screw this pressure valve on, 704 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,319 Speaker 1: turn on that faucet and it'll tell you how much 705 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: pressure you have. And uh, at that point, you know, 706 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: if you're going to call somebody to go ahead and 707 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,919 Speaker 1: replace them all, you know, make sure that they too 708 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: check the pressure that you got coming into that house. 709 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 1: I think that's you know, because you may need a 710 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 1: pressure reducing valve at the main water line. So you 711 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: got to factor a lot of those things in. Uh 712 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: for sure. Hey, a couple of weeks ago, we were 713 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: talking about mice getting in the house, and uh, well, 714 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what those little guys. We we have 715 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 1: not had a mouse problem since we laid a floor 716 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: in a kitchen and had the garage door open. But 717 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: like I said, we were gone a couple of days 718 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,400 Speaker 1: and guess what I found? Not much, but there was 719 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 1: some little tiny specks looked like pepper. So there was 720 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 1: a mouse in the house. And so now we're on 721 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: a we're on a end. Guess what they ate. You know, 722 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: they're always getting in the pantry a packet of chili powder. 723 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: And my wife says, and the most honest they eat 724 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:11,359 Speaker 1: chili powder. Honey, they don't eat anything. But let's let's 725 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 1: get rid of our mouse in the house. That's what 726 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 1: I say. I don't know if you're having that issue 727 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,799 Speaker 1: or not. And they they breed right now. That one 728 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 1: mouse will quickly become a lot more than one. So 729 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: keep your eyes open. We were gone so I didn't 730 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: see any creatures yet, but we did set some traps 731 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,400 Speaker 1: last night.
