I've listened to you 9 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 3: for years. First time caller. 10 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: Thank you. 11 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 3: My house. My house is built in March and ninety 12 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 3: seven's all brick, including u two steps going up to 13 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 3: the front stoop, which is also all brick. And I've 14 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 3: noticed in the last few years and I have a 15 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 3: little like eighteen inches retaining wall around my border of 16 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 3: my driveway on two sides. The edges of the bricks 17 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 3: are I call flaking off. Somebody told me that's called spawling. Yeah. 18 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 3: Are these bricks are eventually disintegrate? I mean it just 19 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 3: seems like in the front porch and the retaining water though. 20 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 2: They could they could. It depends what type of brick 21 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: it is. And you know how old the house is, 22 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 2: but you'res in that old Yeah ninety bricks are usually 23 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: last well, they can last a long long time. But 24 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: back in the day, a lot of those bricks were 25 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: fired and everything else in the clay right from the 26 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: area where they're being built. Yours weren't, so they're probably 27 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: fairly substantial. But once water gets in there and continues 28 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: to be there, it just really breaks down the bricks. 29 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: And my is that's kind of what's happening. 30 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: And it's getting soft and the surface spawling is you know, 31 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: it's probably less than a quarter inch deep about what 32 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: it is, Yeah, but it starts looking a little one sightly. 33 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: So I know you're gonna ask me, well, what do 34 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 2: I do, And I'm not sure there's a lot you're 35 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: going to do. You can certainly put as. You can't 36 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: seal it because then you'll trap water in it if 37 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: it's coming from the backside. But you can seal it 38 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: to minimize water penetration, and there are ceilers that breathe. 39 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: But to patch it on brick, I mean, you could 40 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: put concrete on it, but you know it's not gonna 41 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: look real good. 42 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 3: I just know it's just the front steps, the two 43 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: steps going up to the stoop, which is all brick. 44 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 3: It's the edges. It's the only thing that's flaking off. 45 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 3: And same on my cunning wall. It's just the edges. 46 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: I wonder if the water puddles and goes to the 47 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 2: edges or sits up on the edges. 48 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 3: But it doesn't. It doesn't get that deep. Now step, 49 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 3: I mean you know, it gets four or five inches 50 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: you know each step. 51 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well, let's get a breathable ceiling on there. 52 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 2: See if we can slow it down. We're not going 53 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: to repair it, but I might be able to minimize 54 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 2: the damage. 55 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: So it would mean the houses. 56 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 3: The house is all brick. Now houses all brick, and 57 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 3: those bricks are fine. It's just the front stoop and 58 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: the retaining wall around the driveway. It seems like coming apart. 59 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 2: Well, moisture You've heard me say it a million times. 60 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: Moisture is the number one enemy of the house. And somehow, yes, somehow, 61 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: that's getting Uh, that's that brick there is vulnerable for 62 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: some reason. 63 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: M soka. 64 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: Make sure it's a it's a make sure it says breathable, okay, 65 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: And usually the ingredients is a slock sain, which is 66 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: a silicone molecule that is also breathe bowl. Okay, So 67 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: that that's really what you want. It minimizes water penetration 68 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: but allows water beneath or underneath or side of it 69 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: to exhaust itself out of the brick itself. 70 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, well thank you very much. 71 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: All right, very good. Thanks for the call. Appreciate it. 72 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Mike. Mike, welcome. 73 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 4: Oh yes, sir, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas. I just kept 74 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 4: actually I was looking at these stop lost bags. 75 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 3: Or I just had the. 76 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 4: Exterior of my house painted and by these bags. This 77 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 4: one has an air van on the thing. You fill 78 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 4: it up, you can squeeze the air out of it, 79 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 4: and then supposed to last for. 80 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: Up to ten years. I don't know if that's the 81 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 3: true statement. 82 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 5: I never used them. 83 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 4: I just didn't know if you ever heard of the 84 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 4: stop loss bags. 85 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:52,559 Speaker 1: No, I haven't. 86 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 2: So is this for what for what I mean, for 87 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: the painting tools or for the paint can or what 88 00:04:59,000 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 2: is it? 89 00:04:59,200 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with it. 90 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, sir, it's for whatever you got a five gallon 91 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 4: jug or a little left at the painter, or left 92 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 4: or half whatever you get port in the bag. You 93 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 4: get a funnel and a little thing to slide the 94 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 4: bag in where you just clamp it to a table 95 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 4: and you just pour your paint there and then sure 96 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 4: instead of shaking the can up, you just moved the 97 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 4: bag around. I mean, I didn't know you've heard of anything. 98 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: There's a couple of products out there. I know. 99 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: One of them is like a cup of about sixteen ounces, 100 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 2: the whole sixteen ounces of paint. It's got a silicone 101 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: gasket around it minimizes air and penetration drying it out, 102 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 2: and those work well. Also, I'm sure that BEG does 103 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 2: the same thing. 104 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm just trying to get rid of the cans 105 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 4: because you know, I left them in the garage for 106 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 4: a couple of months and probably should have did that. 107 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, Well that's one of my notes is 108 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 2: you know, as the Christmas holidays pass, we all seem 109 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 2: to be looking for more storage space. And one of 110 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: the tips I have today is to go through your 111 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: paint cans and see how many are even viable. And 112 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: I did this, I think about a year and a 113 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: half ago, and I had cans that I didn't even 114 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: have the color of paint in our house anymore. So 115 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 2: you know, we all kind of fall into those traps 116 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:32,119 Speaker 2: and you can donate that paint or whatever. But yeah, yeah, 117 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: I would say those bags would It sounds to me 118 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: like once you pour it in there, do you vacuum 119 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: any the air out of there? 120 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: Or you just seal it. 121 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 5: And it's got two caps. 122 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 4: One once you fill it up, okay, you can pour 123 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 4: it out. But the top cap where the funnel goes 124 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 4: in to fill the bag up, okay, you on twitsch 125 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 4: that a little bit and squeeze all the air out 126 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 4: and then ah good. 127 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 5: It said it last for ten years, and. 128 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: Well, I bet it does. 129 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 4: You know, it's got a thing on the you got 130 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 4: a thing on the front where you can write, you know, 131 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 4: the paint code. 132 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: No, I love it. I'd love it. 133 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: Anything's better than those cans because quite honestly, even saving 134 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 2: the cans, you never get those lids on perfectly. 135 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: I used to tell people to put you. 136 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: Know, even like a saran wrap and then hit the 137 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 2: lid down on it. But even the cans get bad. 138 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: And those little cup things that I talked about. The 139 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: kid who invented it actually was on Shark Tank and 140 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: they've since sold the company. I'm not familiar with the bags, 141 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: but it sounds good to me. I think it'd be 142 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 2: well worth it, if you know, want to store the 143 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: paint for sure. 144 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, they're called stop Lost Bags. 145 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: I'll take a look at them. 146 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,119 Speaker 4: And then I think they call it kick the can 147 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 4: and stop lost bags or something.

Co 288 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 10: Paine had it on about three weeks ago. Recently looked 289 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 10: at it and the eight of the inside is black. 290 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 10: So my three questions are what happened? Can I clean 291 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 10: that myself? And what can I clean it with? 292 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? 293 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 2: So one question back at you is what color is 294 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 2: the flying. 295 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 10: It's a yellowish okay, yeah, yellowish on the tips right, 296 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 10: maybe a little orientish in the center. 297 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 2: Ish ye, any blue flame at all down at. 298 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: The base. 299 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 10: Maybe a small amount. 300 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, So it could be a number of things. So 301 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 2: you know, it's just a matter of some time. I'm 302 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: gonna give you a litany of what it can be, 303 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 2: all right, and you'll probably need to clean the logs, 304 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 2: clean the inside, and also clean the burner. It could 305 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 2: be a lack of oxygen where the you know, intake 306 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 2: isn't allowing enough oxygen in there to burn it to 307 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 2: where there's a good blue flame, about half the flame 308 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 2: being blue. 309 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: That's why I asked that question. 310 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 2: The the orangish ones are usually there's impurities in there, 311 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 2: so it's not maybe getting enough oxygen. That's that would 312 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 2: be a burner issue in a lot of cases. 313 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: That's it. 314 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 2: But also even having the logs, you said, what happens 315 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 2: if the logs somebody tried to clean the logs and 316 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 2: maybe restacked it or move some logs around. It can 317 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 2: be that where it's and that happens a lot. If 318 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 2: there's exact if you still have the owners, if you 319 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: still have the owner's manual, pull that thing out. And 320 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 2: what I would do first is I would get a 321 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 2: stiff brush paintbrush like you know, something along noselanes, and 322 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 2: that black will just wipe off those ceramic logs. Take 323 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 2: the logs outside, wipe them, and then your manual make 324 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 2: sure you stack them exactly like it tells you the 325 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 2: order to stack them. 326 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: That's key. 327 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 2: If it's other than that, cleaning that inside off again, 328 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 2: that brush is. 329 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: A good way of doing it. 330 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 2: And then again, I don't know how you're getting the 331 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: airflow to that particular appliance, whether it's coming from outdoors 332 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 2: or it's just using the indoor air outdoor outdoor.

He had orange 391 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 2: and yellow, so certainly it could be the damper. I 392 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 2: didn't mention the damper. That's another one of the things 393 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 2: I talked about airflow being important, stacking of the logs 394 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 2: not being proper. But the real thing I wanted to 395 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 2: add to that is it's also a sign of incomplete 396 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 2: fuel combustion, which produces carbon monoxide. So if you have 397 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 2: a gas upplines like gas logs, you're living on thin 398 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 2: ice without a carbon monoxide detector. Hopefully you have one, 399 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 2: Hopefully it's functioning, and if it is carbon monoxide, you 400 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 2: would be warned. 401 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: Just wanted to pass that along. 402 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 2: The other one was on the paint.

How are you this one doing fine? 413 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: Thank you? 414 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 3: All right. 415 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 11: I've just got a follow up question going back to 416 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 11: the paint. 417 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 12: I've got a few. 418 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 11: I've got a few paint cans that have got in 419 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 11: the garage that you know, just got stuck in a 420 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 11: corner and they've been there for a few years and 421 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 11: the rest of the bottoms are rusted out, so the 422 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 11: pink's no good. And I just you said that you 423 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 11: shouldn't set paint out with the trash and the rest 424 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 11: of the rubbage, and I was just wanting to know 425 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 11: what to do with those and dispose of doing properly. 426 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you asked that. 427 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 2: Number One is I want to even qualify something I 428 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 2: said when I said don't put them out for the trash. Obviously, 429 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 2: one of the things I mean is don't put even 430 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 2: latex paint out for the trash, as long as it's 431 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 2: in its liquid form. So a couple of things you 432 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 2: can do is I don't know how much paints in 433 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 2: the can, but if you take the lid off the 434 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 2: can and putting kitty litter, let the kitty litter absorb 435 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 2: the paint and leave the lid off, it'll harden and 436 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 2: at that point you can put Latex hardened paint in 437 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 2: the trash. 438 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: That's an option. I'm just saying that. 439 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: The other option is are the paint cans leaking or 440 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 2: are they just kind of rusted at the bottom. 441 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 11: They're just rusted in the bottom, so no, it's not leakage. 442 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 2: Okay, So I was talking about people that collect paint. 443 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 2: I know in different cities there's multiple different organizations that 444 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 2: will even some hardware stores will. I know when I 445 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 2: had the hardware stores, we took used paint or stored 446 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 2: paint and we gave it to a company or a 447 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 2: nonprofit called keep Sencnight Beautiful. And what they did is 448 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 2: they poured Latex paint in the vats and reblended it. 449 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 2: I also talked about Matthew twenty five ministries in my 450 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 2: town and they blend it and ship it overseas. So 451 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 2: as long as it's not leaking, I'm sure you could 452 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 2: donate it at some organization in your city. Might have 453 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 2: to ask around. But Latex paints very it can be repurposed. 454 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 2: It can certainly be you know, donated, or if it's 455 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 2: just you know, three inches of paint in the bottom 456 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: of a gallon, can get some kitty litter and just 457 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 2: let it dry out solid and then it can be pitched. 458 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 2: Oil based paints are a different ballgame. Those are usually 459 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: county will have hazardous waist pickups or drop offs several 460 00:26:55,359 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 2: times a year and that's where those will go. All right, 461 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 2: you bet, Thanks for the call, appreciate it, and let's 462 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 2: go to Mike. 463 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: Mike, Welcome, Oh. 464 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 5: Good morning, Gary. Have a I have a question that 465 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 5: I've been putting off for a long time because I'm 466 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 5: afraid of what the answers might be. I've got a 467 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 5: home that was built in nineteen sixty It's in good, 468 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 5: stable shape. I bought it in nineteen ninety nine, and 469 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 5: I've had plumbing work done over the years. I'm not 470 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 5: good at plumbing, so that and keeping my hands away 471 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 5: from electrical wires I've learned. But I've had traps are 472 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 5: planed out checked, I've had plumbing where they've replaced the 473 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 5: shut off valves on pipes under sinx and all so 474 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 5: plumbers have not noted anything in particular, but in the 475 00:27:55,320 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 5: kitchen drain and then in one bathroom them upstairs. I 476 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 5: get odors quite often, okay that at times are fairly strong, 477 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 5: and I have even tried maybe that'll stop the right product. 478 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,959 Speaker 5: But I saw odor exit that I hear from you 479 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 5: all the time. I found an eliminator out of store. 480 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 5: I sprayed some of that into it, and it really 481 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 5: does help mask it for a while. But I just 482 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 5: don't know. Is there something I'm missing that I should 483 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 5: try first. 484 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 2: Or yeah, yeah, maybe maybe so one thing I do 485 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 2: want to add, So the odor eliminator does it masket? 486 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 2: It actually eliminates the odor. But if you're straining it 487 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 2: into a sink, I think what you have is you 488 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 2: have an endless supply of odors. In other words, that 489 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 2: odor exit can't get to it to kill all the odor. 490 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 2: So let let's take it. Is the bathrooms upstairs as 491 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 2: are they used often or. 492 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: Not much at all? 493 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 5: Used every day? 494 00:28:58,800 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: Okay? All right? 495 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 2: And is there any of the odors around any bathroom 496 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 2: appliance that isn't being used. 497 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 5: No, and I have not noticed any except when you're 498 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 5: standing over the sink. 499 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 2: Sink, right, okay, all right, Well, there's a couple drains 500 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 2: in a sink. Most people don't think about that. There 501 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 2: is the main drain in the center of the bowl, 502 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 2: which could be the culprit or. As you go up 503 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: to where you're standing up by on the wall of 504 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 2: the vanity bowl, there's a little tiny hole or there's 505 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 2: an oval shaped hole. And what that is is that's 506 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 2: an overflow. And a lot of times people will treat 507 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 2: the drain, but they won't treat the overflow. So the 508 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 2: issue is we use, I say a lot. We use 509 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 2: all gel products. We have gel, toothpaste, gel, hair gel, deodorant, gel, soaps, 510 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 2: everything's gel, which makes it sticky. And on the inside 511 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 2: of the main drain, that stickiness when we wash our 512 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 2: hands or washer whatever we shave it, all that gel 513 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 2: sticky stuff starts coding the drain trap the pipe, and 514 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 2: then bacteria, which can be whiskers, it can be dead skin, 515 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 2: it can be all kinds of things collects in that gel. 516 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 2: In that bacteria as it starts breaking down, begins to smell. Okay, 517 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 2: and so what we need to do is we need 518 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 2: to clean that out. And there are products in the 519 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 2: hardware store that are enzyme based drain cleaners and enzyme 520 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 2: based drake cleaners break through that gel and it also 521 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 2: kills bacteria. So if you go to the hardware store 522 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 2: and you get an enzyme drain cleaner, and that's just 523 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 2: the way their market marked, it's usually a liquid or 524 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 2: a granular. You mix it with water. Sometimes you just 525 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 2: put the plug in the sink, put some warm water 526 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 2: in there. Add the amount of enzyme drain cleaner that 527 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 2: it tells you to do, pull the plug or open 528 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 2: the stopper, and let it go down that drain, and 529 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 2: do not use that vanity bowl for that night, and 530 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 2: you can use it in the morning and that will 531 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 2: eliminate that smell in the main drain. Now if you 532 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 2: have it and it still exists, or if you want 533 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 2: to get your nose near in that vanity bowl and 534 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 2: see exactly where that odor is, if it's coming from 535 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 2: the overflow up at the upper edges of that bowl, 536 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 2: you can use a dishwashing liquid soap, you could use 537 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 2: bleach um and just put that down in that bowl 538 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 2: or in that overflow hole and again give it overnight, 539 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 2: and I think your odors are going to disappear. 540 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 5: I appreciate the ends. I'm familiar with the enzyme products, 541 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 5: but I never never thought about that. 542 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 2: So the overflows, yeah, it'll even the overflow thing that'll 543 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 2: produce odors, even if you know it's rarely ever used. 544 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 2: It's just it's just a way the uh, you know, 545 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 2: the moisture that's in a bathroom can activate that bacteria 546 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 2: and make it smell. So I would try in the 547 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 2: drain an enzyme cleaner and then you know, put a 548 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 2: little bleach down that overflow and see if that doesn't 549 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 2: help perfect. 550 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 5: I appreciate it. 551 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: Thank you all right much, You're quite welcome.

It was when the government changed the 656 00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 2: refrigerant regulations on refrigerators. The manufacturing and the engineering of 657 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 2: those refrigerators didn't quite keep up with the new refrigerants 658 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 2: and the pan needed to be different, and this, that 659 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 2: and the other thing. They literally that refrigerator was sixteen 660 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:25,720 Speaker 2: months old and basically rebuilt the inside of that thing.

I'm up in Wisconsin, 701 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 12: Central Wisconsin, and my current furnace is thirty nine years old. Okay, 702 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 12: it came with the house, and we're considering buying a 703 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 12: new furnace. And my question is is do we want 704 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 12: to clean the vents all the vent related pipes before 705 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 12: or after we install that furnace. 706 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're interested in cleaning the duckwork, I'd probably 707 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 2: let them install the furnace and then have them have 708 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 2: the vent pipes cleaned. I don't think, to be real honest, 709 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 2: that it's going to make any difference one way or 710 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 2: the other, but I would probably do it after the 711 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 2: furnace has been installed. 712 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 12: Okay, all right, And one other question about that is 713 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 12: what type of humidifier would you recommend? 714 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,799 Speaker 2: Well, I've got an April Air. I can't say I 715 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 2: could do a good consumer report on humidifiers right now, 716 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,319 Speaker 2: but I can tell you my April Air youumidifier has 717 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:35,879 Speaker 2: been there about, oh probably twenty years and has done 718 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 2: a great job. I have no complaints on it. My 719 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 2: previous one was also an April Air and I had 720 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 2: to replace the cellnoid valve on it once. But the 721 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 2: April Airs, it's really a pretty simple process, quite honestly. 722 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,759 Speaker 2: It's on the doctor. It's got a pad to catch 723 00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 2: the water and you you know, you run a little 724 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 2: quarter inch soft copper water line and it wet's that 725 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:10,399 Speaker 2: pad when the cellnoids call them for water. I mean, 726 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 2: that's that's pretty much the process. So I'd say in 727 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 2: April Air, a good company has served me well. But 728 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 2: again I can't give you the maybe competing companies and 729 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 2: how they would stack up. 730 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 1: That require a little research. 731 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:24,840 Speaker 5: Well I was. 732 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 12: I didn't know if there was different types of them, 733 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,840 Speaker 12: but it sounds sounds pretty simple. 734 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 1: Pretty simple. It is. It's pretty simple. 735 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 2: It's basically a pad on the duckwork that's connected to 736 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,280 Speaker 2: a water line exactly. 737 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,800 Speaker 12: Okay, all right, I do have one one more comment, 738 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 12: and that's on metal roofs. You had to show on 739 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 12: metal metal. 740 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 1: Roofs a few last weekends or whatever. 741 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:53,239 Speaker 14: And one of the insurance things was that the insurance 742 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 14: that for fires, because without a asphalt roop, there's no 743 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 14: no fire that continue, right, it doesn't burn. 744 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, And there are discounts given for those I know 745 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 2: they're very big out west for that very reason. So 746 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 2: thank you much for the call. I appreciate we got 747 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 2: that information, and thank you, thank you. Teresa.
