We 4 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: talked about faucets and if you got problems with the fasset, 5 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: the toilet, the water heater, they got you covered.

Well, it was a 8 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: little bigger problem before you got rotor Uter out there. 9 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: They do both. You can check it out router dot 10 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: com and we thank them for sponsoring this hour of 11 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: the show. Well, today seems like we've talked about a 12 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: lot of different kinds of products. Made products we don't 13 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 1: really talk about very often made products I don't even 14 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,199 Speaker 1: know about, which is fine. We're all here to kind 15 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: of find a better way, an easier way in a 16 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: lot of cases. I was not going to run a 17 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: consumer reports. Last week we were talking about security systems. 18 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: I was pretty much saying, I want to know your opinion. 19 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: You've used it, how do you like it? But I 20 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: get it if people have a product that they've had 21 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: success with, please don't be shy. I'm fine with listening 22 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: to it. I may or may not know it. In fact, 23 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: last week we had one that I had never ever 24 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: heard of, and I've been doing this for a long time, 25 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: and it wasn't really a product that was designed to 26 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: do something. It was to remove calking around a bathtub. 27 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if this works or not. This fellaw 28 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: that called swore by it, so I'm figuring it did work. 29 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: He used brake fluid to remove the calking, and not 30 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: really remove it. Don't think there's anything you just poured on. 31 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: It dissolves and goes away. But it made it very, 32 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: very pliable and easy to remove. So you know, if 33 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: anybody wants to be a field reporter and do that 34 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: job with a little break fluency, if you can remove cacking, 35 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: I'd be happy to take that call for sure. Or 36 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: I don't take the call. Dannyboy takes a call, he'd 37 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: be happy to do that, all right. Let me give 38 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: you the phone number. It's eight hundred and eighty two 39 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: three A two five five ken. 40 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: Welcome, Hi Gary. 41 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: Hello. 42 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 3: I have a question about some flooring. 43 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 4: I've had a house built back in twenty eighteen and 44 00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 4: I installed. 45 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 5: A floating bamboo floor and a couple of years ago, 46 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 5: I noticed a little bit of separation. 47 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 4: And a couple of spots, But this year it's there 48 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 4: is about six or seven spots where it is the 49 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 4: flooring is separated, and it's almost about a fourth of 50 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 4: an inch in some spots. And so I didn't know. 51 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 3: If it's a foundation issue. 52 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: Do I need to just have. 53 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 3: A flooring company come in look, or do I need 54 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: to have a foundation inspection? Wondering what you would work in? I. 55 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: You know, and how long has that bamboo floor? I mean, 56 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: this isn't Is this like a laminate bamboo or is 57 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: this like a real bamboo? And it's how's it put together? 58 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: Tell me, I guess, tell me a little bit more 59 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: about it. 60 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 5: It just it's it's solid bamboo. But it has when 61 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 5: you lay it, you just you don't nail or glue. 62 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: You just. 63 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: Put the grooves together as you go along. And so it's, uh, 64 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: it's just called the. 65 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: Floating floor, right right, Okay? 66 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 5: But I nailed it when I, you know, the first 67 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 5: put eef I put in against the wall. 68 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 3: I made sure that those were secured. I nailed those, 69 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 3: and then you know it was covered by the shoe mold. 70 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: Okay, But. 71 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 3: So it shouldn't you know, be moving unless there's something 72 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 3: going on with the foundation. 73 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: Well, I guess I know. I always go to this, 74 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: but it is kind of a big player in it. 75 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: First of all, bamboo by itself, unlike hardwood. Bamboo is 76 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: you know, if you ever look at the end of 77 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: the bamboo, you see all those little circles, so right, 78 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: they're very sensitive to moisture. I guess that's what I'm saying. 79 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: And this year we've had some really cold exterior temperatures, 80 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: which drives down humidity, which is dry air, and it 81 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: works its way inside the home, so you mad the 82 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: inside your home this year with cold temperatures was probably 83 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: lower than it normally is, which causes those boards to shrink. 84 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: I would like to see what happens when it starts 85 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: warming up, to. 86 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 2: Just let it sit for a while and see if. 87 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: It doesn't kind of I think so, I think, so, 88 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: has this been a forever problem or just show up 89 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: this year? 90 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 4: Well, I've just had a couple of spots that have 91 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 4: been a forever problem. 92 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: But this year is when just like in the last couple. 93 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 5: Of weeks that I've noted more more spots and bigger spots. 94 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 2: So you may be right. 95 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 5: It maybe just because it was so dry. 96 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: I think that's what I'm gonna hang my hat on. 97 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if you have a a humidity guide 98 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: inside your home. I talk about humidity a lot, because 99 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: you know, in fact, I remember about five or six 100 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: weeks ago, I was talking about, Okay, look at your 101 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,559 Speaker 1: crown molding. Okay, look at your trim molding around doors? 102 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: Are you starting to see little separations? Don't panic, you know, 103 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: it's just you're indoor humidity levels really low, I mean, 104 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: gosh ideal. I mean, you can have home humidity levels 105 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: of twenty to twenty five percent when it's zero outside, 106 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: and that's probably acceptable except for bamboo flooring and even 107 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: some wood flooring. So you're gonna have a little bit 108 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,119 Speaker 1: more separation. So I I guess, really what I'm saying, 109 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: I think that's what it is. But as seasons change, 110 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: humidity may correct your problem. Because if you have high 111 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: humidity in your home, let's say in the you know, again, 112 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: in the winter time, acceptable really is about thirty five percent. 113 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: But if you get it really really cold outside, that 114 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: humidity acceptable levels really twenty twenty five percent. You can 115 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: see the issues and inside your home in the summer, 116 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, fifty to fifty five percent, seventy percent, you're 117 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: gonna have problems. And then high humidity causes the same 118 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: opposite problems with the bamboo flooring in terms the boards swell, 119 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: and that's why you probably had to put a little 120 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: expansion joint over by the uh base boards and stuff 121 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: when you put the floor in, maybe a quarter inch 122 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: or so, because that wood's going to swell, and if 123 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: it's hit in the walls, it's actually gonna buckle. So 124 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: I you know, i'd get a couple minity guides, put 125 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: them in that room. It's probably too late to go 126 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: to the party because it's the humidity levels probably up 127 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: now around thirty thirty five percent. Maybe they close just 128 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: very little bit. It's going to take higher humidity to 129 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: do that, and it's going to take a little bit 130 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: more time. But I'm I'm gonna bet that's the issue. 131 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, well, I appreciate it. 132 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: All right, keep an eye on that. Call me back 133 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: if it is we'll call me back. If it isn't, 134 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: too we'll figure out what's going on. All right. We'll 135 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: do all right, Thank you, take care, bye bye, and boy, 136 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: it does affect I Again, I would ask you if 137 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: you've been through a pretty cold period of time for 138 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: an extended period of time, and you know, maybe you 139 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: have some crown molding that you have never ever really seen, uh, 140 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: an issue where you can see above the crown and 141 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: a gap between that and the ceiling. It's probably the 142 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: humidity level when you're home. I was getting even really 143 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: lower than normal humidity levels in my home this year, 144 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: and it's synced to the outdoor temperature. So thirty two 145 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: degrees thirty five percent of home humidity inside? Fine, But 146 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: what happens when it goes to zero maybe twenty to 147 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: twenty five percent? You don't want to get it much 148 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: wetter and that or you know what will happen, The 149 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 1: windows will start sweating. You got too much humidity in there, 150 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: even at that level. So it's a fine line in bamboo, 151 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: since it has many pores, I guess we will call 152 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: it lingons. Absorbing that moisture or excreting that moisture will 153 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: cause it to swell and cause it to shrink. All right, 154 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: you can join us.

Maybe he did, 199 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: but how however, that would cause a problem in the summer, 200 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: so he set a floating floor. So I think he 201 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: knew that. He knew not to nail it down around 202 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: the perimeter because if it's dry, you know, the minutes 203 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: we're really low and drying, those perimeter boards are holding 204 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: that kind of tight. Now they could they still shrink 205 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: in the mills, Sure they can still shrink, but in 206 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: the summertime when it gets moys, can they expand? And 207 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: if it's nailed no, So I don't think it's nailed down. 208 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: I don't think that was the problem. All right, now, 209 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: let's get back to the phone calls again. You can 210 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: join us, and we've got a couple open lines for 211 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: literally the first time.

It just kind 222 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: of rusted? Is this because the water in their froze? 223 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 8: Is I think the water froze they are pipe and 224 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 8: also the water froze because we've had a very severe 225 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 8: winter here in Pennsylvania. 226 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: Is it black iron pipe? 227 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 8: Let me check on that, Clark, is it black iron pipe? 228 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 9: Is it? 229 00:14:54,880 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 8: Is it black iron pipe? Okay? What kind of pipe? 230 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 10: Say? 231 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 9: What kind of file? 232 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: So let me tell you you know if you need 233 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: Do I need a plumber or not? Well, I don't know, 234 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: probably unless your handyman are. What you're going to have 235 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: to do is you're going to have to cut that 236 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: pipe out. I'm assuming the other pipe is compromised. Also, 237 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to cut that pipe out. You're going 238 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: to have to thread the existing pipe, thread the new pipe, 239 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: install a union so you can patch it together. It's 240 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: just that the person's got to be available to or no, 241 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: you know, to cut that through it's probably black iron pipe, 242 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: that's usually what it is. Cut that pipe and if 243 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: you want to measure that out or bring it to 244 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: the hardware stores. A lot of people there will cut 245 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: pipe and thread pipe. But the pipe that's stationary, they're 246 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: gonna have to thread thread that on site, okay. Uh, 247 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: and then they're gonna you know, screw the union on 248 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: and put on the new piece of pipe, thread the 249 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: other pipe on site and put the union on. So uh, 250 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: the person just has to know how to cut and 251 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: thread pipe, steal black iron pipe. They got to know 252 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: how to do that on site. That if they do, 253 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: you can you can do it yourself. If you know 254 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: how to do that, you can be a handyman, know 255 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: how to do that. And if your handyman doesn't know 256 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: how to do that, yes, you'll call a plumber. Uh, 257 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: Steve welcome. 258 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 10: Oh yes, sir, I was calling in reference to a 259 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 10: call you got earlier from Columbus George about the Freezemeister 260 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 10: I believe. 261 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: Was yeah, yeah. 262 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 10: I also it's kind of a small world, but I'm 263 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 10: in Columbus, Georgia too, so good hay to my neighbor caller. 264 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 10: I guess, but I bought those a couple of years ago, 265 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 10: and they work. You just strad them on your five. 266 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 10: The key is you got to open up the course, 267 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 10: open up your valve, you know, and then when it 268 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 10: gets cold enough, I guess, it contracts and lets water out. 269 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 10: But this last time it got cold, came out and 270 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 10: I could see a ring of ice around where that 271 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 10: thing had worked. The center of it course wasn't as 272 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 10: frozen because of the pressure, but around the outside was 273 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 10: like flour inches tall ice. So the things work. 274 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, so does the you know? He asked me if 275 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: I had heard of it, and I said no, But 276 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: once he started describing, I said, I have heard of it, 277 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: but I haven't used it. Okay, So does that tip 278 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: get hot or does it sense? I think it senses 279 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: the temperature, and when it gets below a certain level, 280 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: it heats that tip to thirty seven, opens that valve 281 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: a little bit and it begins to drip. 282 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 10: I think what it is is more of a I 283 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 10: have seen it before too, and it's more of a spray. 284 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 10: You know. It's like got pressure because it just opens up. Okay, 285 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 10: but I think all it is. You know how heat 286 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 10: expands and then the cold contracts. I think it's just 287 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 10: some sort. 288 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: Of diaphragm inside of something. 289 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, diaphragm, and then it gets cold enough it 290 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 10: just lets the water out. 291 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: But very good. Well, I'll tell you what if you 292 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: want to protect it from freezing and you still want 293 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 1: used to that hose at other times, you know, during 294 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: that particular season, that sounds like the ticket. 295 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 10: Hey, that's really you just screw it on.

Again, if you're not gonna use 307 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: the hose, not gonna uh use that particular faucet. Really 308 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: the best thing.

I was just thinking about that that boiler again. 357 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: You know one other thing too, depending on what kind 358 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: it is. I and the ask is water or steam. 359 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: But uh, there's also some pressure or there can be 360 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: some pressure issues. So unless you're handing in a school, 361 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: than that too probably would be better than get a plumber. 362 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to the phone calls. What 363 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: you say, we got ron Ron, Welcome. 364 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 2: Hi Gary, listen to show all the time. Go ahead, 365 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 2: Hi Gary, you got me? 366 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, yep, got you a right? 367 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 2: Sorry, so quick question. So ten years ago I redid 368 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 2: my kitchen, put ceramic tile down, and since then Uh, 369 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 2: we've acquired two dogs, and I have two rooms downstairs 370 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 2: that I didn't do that I wish that I had done. 371 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 2: And of course I didn't buy extra tile, and when 372 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 2: I went to the tile supplier, the tile is no 373 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 2: longer available. So I guess my question, is there any 374 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 2: tile distributor that you know of or manufacture anybody that 375 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 2: will literally custom make or you know, match the tile, 376 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 2: similar to like what Sherwyn Williams does with faint. 377 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: I know That's what I know. Tile is like it's artistic, right, 378 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,959 Speaker 1: and the colors come and go. Like you have an 379 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: old bathroom from the fifties they used pink tile, and 380 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: somebody says, well, tile broke, can you get me? Can 381 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: I get a match of that? Not really? I mean 382 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: I don't know of anything. The only thing I would check, 383 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: and it's like counting a need on a haystack, literally 384 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: is some different which there's six hundred different restores. They're 385 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: owned by Habitat for you manity where people donate surplus 386 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: or old stuff and they'll have tile in there, I 387 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: guarantee you, and they'll have lots of different colors, and 388 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: they'll have all different amounts and you know the the 389 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: chances of finding it probably slim, But I don't know 390 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: of anybody that. I mean, you can maybe google it. 391 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe there is. I'm not familiar of anyone 392 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: that has discontinued, you know, as a collection point of 393 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 1: discontinued tile types. 394 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was singing more of like a company that 395 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 2: would actually customy tile. 396 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 9: You give the I do. 397 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 2: I do have some stamps. 398 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: Okay. 399 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 2: Second question, So my son just bought a house has 400 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 2: a septic system. I know little to nothing about septic systems. 401 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 2: I've never had one. My question is, recently, well before 402 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 2: he bought the house, the last owner put in a 403 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 2: new aerator. Do you know at what point, like those 404 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 2: things have to cycle, does the air raator have to 405 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 2: run continuously or do you do you have any idea? 406 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 2: The reason I'm asking is he's out of town, been 407 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 2: out of town for several months, and we've got an 408 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 2: electric bill that's just gone through the wall. And it's 409 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 2: the only thing I could think of as far as 410 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 2: what could be. There was one there before was not 411 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 2: working properly. 412 00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: So is it. Yeah, it's it's usually running all the time. 413 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: That's not usually the normal way they work. I'm sure 414 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: there's exceptions, but usually they're called aerobic systems, and they 415 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: are designed really to run full time, to keep adding 416 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: oxygen so that I guess the bacteria breaks down easier. 417 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of the way it's built in there. 418 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, shouldn't draw a significant amount of power though, Well. 419 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: That I don't know, you know, yeah that I don't know. 420 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, but they are designed to run all the time. 421 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: Is there a timer in there at all? 422 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 2: Or I think there is. I'm going to dig into 423 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 2: it today. 424 00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, take a look at that. Yeah, take a look 425 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: at that. But it's actually the power drawl on how much, 426 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: you know, even the horsepower of it. I don't know 427 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: what size they are again, I think you dig a 428 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: little further. But they are designed to run all the 429 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: all the time. Unless it was the wrong type of 430 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: pump that consumes more. I'm just grabbing its straws. 431 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 2: Yeah sure, yeah, me too, Okay, Yeah, appreciate it. Thanks 432 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 2: for man, I appreciate. 433 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: You're quite welcome. Thank you. Take care all right. You know, 434 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: if you can get that pump and see if it's 435 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: hot or anything along those lanes, it might be some tips, 436 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,239 Speaker 1: but they are designed to run all the time. All 437 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: right again, it's eight hundred eight two three eight two 438 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: five five Kim. 439 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 9: Welcome, Hi Gary. I like you to put your plumbers 440 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 9: hat on. 441 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: Oh all right, just. 442 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 9: About a year and a half ago, my toilet was loose, 443 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 9: so we had a plumber come down. He pulled everything out, 444 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 9: put the wax wingh and all that. Every thing was 445 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 9: not fine. I know this will past six or seven months. 446 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 9: When I flush the toilet, it just spins and spins 447 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 9: and spins, and then when the tank fills up and stops, 448 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 9: I'll flush it again. It'll spin and go all the 449 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 9: way down. It will flush itself. So it seems like 450 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 9: every other time it flushes all the way down to 451 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 9: the bottom. Any ideas what's going on, well, it. 452 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: Probably wouldn't have anything to do with the seal that 453 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: you had replaced. So a couple tests I would do 454 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: is on the first time, when you depress the flush 455 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: handle and the water is just spinning, have a bucket 456 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: of water and pour that into the toilet. Sometimes it's 457 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:53,959 Speaker 1: water volume and water power that creates a good flush. 458 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: Why it's flushing on the second time, I don't know, 459 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: but there's quite a few things I would check how 460 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: old is the toilet. 461 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 9: Well, the house is thirty five years. 462 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: Old, okay, so it's the original toilet. So so we 463 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: have hard water issues in everything in our house. Depending 464 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: on how hard hard water is in your community can 465 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: create issues. So the water that's being released from the 466 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: tank is distributed to the bowl underneath the rim of 467 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: the toilet. Okay. So if you get a compact mirror 468 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: and you run it underneath the rim of the toilet, 469 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: you'll see all these little holes, and in your case, 470 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: you may see quite a few holes that are plugged. Okay. 471 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: If they're plugged, you can get a little coat hanger, 472 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: a little piece of wire, something pretty steady, and you 473 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: just kind of clean out those those ports. Because now 474 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: you're taking the water that's in that closet and you're 475 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: you're delivering all that water with some speed and with 476 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: some volume. That would be the absolute first thing I 477 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: would check. The second thing I would check is if 478 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: you shut off the water flush the toilet right down 479 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: on the front of the toil, so way down in 480 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: the bowl, there's a little hole facing you, and that's 481 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: called the jet flush, and that's taking the air that's blowing, 482 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: that's creating some power some force adding to it. Those 483 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: that opening, that jet flush opening can just be a 484 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: catch point for accumulated hard water deposits like a bottom 485 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: of a water tank. Almost get an old toothbrush and 486 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: get in there and just scrub the inside of that hole, 487 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: just kind of you know, keep ramming that old toothbrush 488 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: in and you'll you'll look like you're, you know, pulling 489 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: out sand. And that could be it. So I would 490 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: start with those two. I mean, it can be other things. 491 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: But you know, the other thing would be maybe a 492 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: stack on the roof of the house. It's got some clog, 493 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: maybe some sticks or something got in there and peded 494 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: that a little bit. But I think you'd hear gargling 495 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: in other places of the house if you had that, 496 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: I think you're more likely. You know, plumbers used to 497 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: run in those old toilets all the time. What they 498 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: would do, and I'm not really condoning as for a homeowner, 499 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: is to take some erratic acid. I don't even know 500 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: if plumbers do that anymore. Maybe they do.

I have a asphalt driveway put in 586 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 11: recoded probably about five to eight years ago, and it 587 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 11: leads up to a concrete garage naturally, And when I 588 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 11: was watching them do it, all of a sudden, when 589 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 11: they were rolling the asphalt driveway compact in it, they 590 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 11: ran right into the garage with the compact or with 591 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 11: the roller. So they made a seamless joint between the 592 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:35,360 Speaker 11: asphalt and the concrete, which you know, I thought was 593 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 11: a little odd. But it's seamless. When you drive in, 594 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 11: you don't feel any bump at all, you know. So 595 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 11: they may have gone in too far. But they took 596 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,760 Speaker 11: like a sealant that they use, like a liquid heated sealant, 597 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 11: and they put it along that seam. 598 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:53,240 Speaker 10: Okay. 599 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 11: So the problem is that it's a little too deep 600 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 11: into towards the garage or where the rubber let's say, 601 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:09,879 Speaker 11: uh uh, you know, what do you want to call this? Yeah, 602 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 11: the sweep. And what happens is in the summertime, when 603 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 11: it gets extremely hot, it's a white door, okay, that 604 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 11: that component whatever they used, it melts, okay, And it 605 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 11: has like melted onto the rubber, you know, part of 606 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 11: the door, and that door will stick. Okay. Their answer 607 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 11: to me when I presented the problem to them was 608 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 11: that puts sand on it, you know, put sand on it, 609 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 11: and it does solve the problem. But periodically the sand 610 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 11: will either shift and then that that that molding will 611 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 11: get like it will catch itself to the driveway. So 612 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,760 Speaker 11: two things I'm wondering. Number one, is there a product 613 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 11: that I can buy and do myself or obviously go 614 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 11: back to them and say, you know, this is what's happening. 615 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 2: What could we do? 616 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 11: Do you have? 617 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: Is there a door? Is there a door opener on 618 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,760 Speaker 1: her a closer, you know, like a Genie or something 619 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:29,760 Speaker 1: like that Chamberlain Grudge the opener? Yes, okay, there should 620 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: be and if you have the manual tucked up there, 621 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: it should be on air on you can adjust how 622 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: far that door goes down, So maybe you don't. I 623 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: don't know how hard it's hitting it. I mean, obviously 624 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,839 Speaker 1: it still wants you still wanted to come in contact 625 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: with it, right, but you could make that adjustment and 626 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,720 Speaker 1: maybe just kind of get it where it just makes 627 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: contact keeps cold air. I don't know if that'll work, 628 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: but there, I just want you to know that there 629 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: is an adjustment on the length of that garage store 630 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: that comes down. Okay, So that's one idea. Another idea 631 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 1: is and again I can't see it, so that's a disadvantage. 632 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 1: How thick is that asphalt where that door comes down 633 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 1: on it? I mean, and is it on the concrete? 634 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 11: Yes, yes, they ran it. So if they would have 635 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 11: kept it lower, then it would be in the past, 636 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 11: let's say, prior then they you know, they realized that 637 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 11: at this point it was an easy method of application 638 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 11: for everything. But it's the ceilant that they used because 639 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 11: you know, I've noticed, like in the street or at 640 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,879 Speaker 11: the end of my driveway that that product there when 641 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 11: it gets we had an extremely hot summer last year, 642 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 11: and that product there doesn't melt to the touch. Whatever 643 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 11: they use up towards the house, that product actually gets soft. 644 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so yeah, so I don't know, you know, 645 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 1: like the sand. But that's not really an answer, you know, 646 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: maybe the answer. First of all, I don't even know 647 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,720 Speaker 1: why they put that ceiling there if there isn't a seam. 648 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:32,320 Speaker 11: Well, the seam is between the asphalt and the concrete, okay, 649 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 11: So in other words, uh, now it's heaved a little 650 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:41,319 Speaker 11: bit because of the frost and the you know, the 651 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,399 Speaker 11: heating elements that we have now this time of year. 652 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 11: It will go down, it will settle, but I would 653 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 11: like to do something there so. 654 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 1: The but that door wouldn't normally rest there with it well, 655 00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,359 Speaker 1: so you got usually got about eight inches of con great, 656 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 1: and then you got the door. 657 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 11: Yes, they went too far with the with the asphalt 658 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 11: and with the ceilant. 659 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,399 Speaker 1: So I'll be Devil's advocate. Can you get like a 660 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: wide cold chisel and just chip that off? 661 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 11: I can chip off so that the rubber uh piece 662 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 11: of the door does not come in contact with the 663 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,800 Speaker 11: with the asphalt. I can do that, but I still 664 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 11: need that sealed, I believe overall. But what product would 665 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 11: would be like in the street when you run over 666 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:43,919 Speaker 11: these different seams, especially in the summer, It doesn't it's 667 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 11: not sticky. 668 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, so there is one called and I don't I've 669 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,879 Speaker 1: never been asked this question, but one of the things 670 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 1: that comes to mind is, you know, this was an 671 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 1: actual you know, coal tar base that's heated and then 672 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 1: poured and obviously when the you know, gets solar energy, 673 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: it begins to liquefy and then you have a problem. 674 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:13,359 Speaker 1: So if we took that and we that in which 675 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,400 Speaker 1: they said to try to cover it with sand, I 676 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,400 Speaker 1: would go a little bit differently, and say if I 677 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: took a coret jug of asphalt crack sealant, which just 678 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 1: puts a little bead down, but we're going to put 679 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 1: more than a little bead down. That is an acrylic resin. 680 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: And I wonder if we just got that in a 681 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: little bucket and then took a brush and just painted 682 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:43,960 Speaker 1: over that particular sealant that they have, if that would 683 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:49,479 Speaker 1: neutralize it from getting soft and sticky due to the sun, 684 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 1: because it's going to be hidden from the sun. So 685 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:58,359 Speaker 1: I know most hardware stores have that, and that would 686 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 1: be asphalt crack seal It just comes in a core jug. 687 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 1: I would try that, because you're gonna look like you said, 688 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to do something with it better. They're 689 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 1: gonna have to come out and clean all that up 690 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,799 Speaker 1: and do a different type of patch or crack salant there. 691 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 1: Thank you much for the call.
