11
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 2: Welcome, good morning, Gary, enjoy the show.

12
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: Thank you.

13
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: I'd like to pick your brain and your expertise in paint.

14
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: My home is seventeen years old, or we've lived in

15
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: seventeen years, two story brick, and I just noticed over

16
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: the holidays the ceiling paint in the foyer has began

17
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: to blake. And it hasn't started falling off, but just

18
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: big flaky areas, and it's scattered throughout the fouryer, not

19
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: in any one particular spot. And I know the moisture

20
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: and other things like that, and there's no bathroom above it.

21
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: The front door has got a porch over it can

22
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: paint just fail.

23
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: How long go has it been painted?

24
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 2: Well, I don't. We've lived here seventeen years and I've never.

25
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, I got you. Well, paint can fail

26
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: to answer your question, but it's unlikely, okay. So usually

27
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: if it starts peeling, usually in the first few years,

28
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: I usually fall back on the plan that it probably

29
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: wasn't prepped properly. So if that were the case, it

30
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: would appealed a long time ago.

31
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: Okay, correct, And that was my assumption as well.

32
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: Right now, if it fails fifteen years, ten years, eight years,

33
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: twenty years, I usually go, probably moisture is getting in

34
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: between the layers of paint and causing it to peal.

35
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: So we'll visit that in just a second. So you've

36
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: been there seventeen years. How old is the house? It is.

37
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: Forty seven years old.

38
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So that was probably done with late text.

39
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: Paint, that would be my assumption.

40
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, so around the late seventies, you know we

41
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: started you know, late text paint was available before then,

42
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: but you know, the oil based paints, the lead based

43
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: paints was pretty much outlawed at that point. I think

44
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: that was about seventy seven. If it were lead based

45
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: paint or oil based paint. It could fail. It could

46
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: just fail and start peeling. Is it drywall that's up there.

47
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: It's not plaster.

48
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: It is drywall, Okay.

49
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: So one of the things we can do well, it's

50
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: failing period. You just want to make sure that it's

51
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: not going to fail once we scrape it off and

52
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: get that thing fixed up again. You want to make

53
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: sure there's no moisture. So a couple of ways of

54
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: doing this. If it's accessible in the attic and you

55
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: could get up there, I would certainly go into those

56
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: areas and see if there's you know, I've seen crazy

57
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: things where there's a leak in the vent boot which

58
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: is just damp at the insulation, which is just barely

59
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: damp in the dry wall, which has caused the paint

60
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: to peel.

61
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: Directly above this for you is my bedroom.

62
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: Okay, So nothing going on there. The other the other option,

63
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: it could be sometimes it just happens too. I'm just

64
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: trying to hunt for things to make you feel a

65
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: little about it. If there was a bathroom exhaust pipe

66
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: running through behind the ceiling, or something in the base

67
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: of the attic or in the cross base, or just

68
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: in the wall cavity which was leaking warm air and

69
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: hitting cold air and causing a little condensation. Possibility. Unlikely,

70
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: but possibility. So really we're back to the kind I

71
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: don't know. So if you want to test for moisture,

72
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: what you can do is get some painter's grade masking

73
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: tape to blue stuff and tape a little you know,

74
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: twelve by twelve, eighteen by eighteen whatever size plastic where

75
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: that pain is peeling and see if any moisture forms

76
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: in that behind that plastic, and if it is, we

77
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: probably ought to explore a little bit more. My guess

78
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: is it won't, but that'll tell us if there is

79
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: a moisture issue. But it doesn't sound like there could

80
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: be based on where it's at. However, moisture goes anywhere,

81
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: so you never really know. But if that's the case

82
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: and it's dry, I think I would scrape it off,

83
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, patch it with some topping compound primate and

84
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: uh and paint it.

85
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, and real quick, I'll go again.

86
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, make sure you use you know,

87
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: a good latex ceiling paint. It is breathable, So if

88
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: there was any minimal water and I'm sure. That's if

89
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: there is any water, it's got to be very very minimal.

90
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: It would have stained by now. But a latex ceiling paint,

91
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: good quality ceiling paint is breathable effort, so it'll allow

92
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,119
Speaker 1: that water vapor to exhaust through where the old oil

93
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: based paints did not allow that to happen.

94
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: Gotch and real quickly if I could follow up.

95
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: Sure.

96
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: I had called back earlier in the summer or in

97
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 2: the summer. My neighbor and I both were having trouble

98
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: with the I believe it's called the crown wash on

99
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: the top of our chimneys, correct, and we'd gotten some

100
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: estimates from companies around here that was in the thousands

101
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,239
Speaker 2: of dollars to remove and replace that and then seal

102
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: the chimney. And I called you, and you put me

103
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: to Chimney RX, right, and we bought their products and

104
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: had a handyman sure apply and for a few hundred

105
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: dollars we're back in business.

106
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: There you go.

107
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: I just want to thank you for that recommendation.

108
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: You're quite welcome. That's great stuff too. And it's just

109
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: like I always call like a rubber rised band aid.

110
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: Well, and he and I are both up in age,

111
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: so thirty and fifty year warranties don't mean a lot

112
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: to me right now.

113
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: It's a lifetime warrant you ever.

114
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: There you go.

115
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: That's where we lived for us, and I enjoyed the cell. Gary,

116
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Thank you much. Have a happy new year, right take

00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,640

Speaker 1: and you can go ahead and grab line. Danny will

122
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: take the call and you and I will chat. By

123
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: the way, if you're listening to this in it's you know,

124
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: a replay or a podcast or whatever. We are here

125
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: every weekend, every Saturday and Sunday eight to noon Eastern time,

126
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: and that's when you can get your calls in. Happy

127
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: to chat with you about what you're working on around

128
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: the home. Kind of going back to the umidifiers, I

129
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: hope we made that clear. If you have a whole house,

130
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: youmidifier on the furnace, on the duckwork. There is a

131
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: not filter. It looks like a filter. Everybody calls it

132
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: a filter, but it's not a filter. It's about an

133
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: inch and a half two inches thick, about ten by ten.

134
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: It just sits in there and that water trickles over

135
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: that it becomes absorbing and holds that water. And as

136
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: the fans going and the furnace is working, it's blowing

137
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: that moisture throughout the home, keeping your humidification at a

138
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: good level, which makes it more comfortable in your home.

139
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: For instance, if you have say sixty eight degrees and

140
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: you got twenty percent humidity in your home, it's going

141
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: to feel cold cold. And if it's thirty five percent

142
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: humidity in there and you got said sixty eight, you

143
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: can be comfortable. It does make that much of a difference.

144
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: And during the winter time it's all there's a little

145
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: dryer in our homes. Ideally, even freezing outside, you want

146
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: about thirty five percent umidity on the inside. All right, again,

147
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: the phone number's eight hundred eighty two three, eight two

148
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: five five. Grab a line and we'll continue with your calls.

149
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: You're at home with Gary Salton.

150
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: If you don't have a list of things to do

151
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 3: around the house, Gary will find something for you at

152
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 3: one eight hundred eighty two free talk. You're at home

153
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: with Gary's elevator.

154
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: Hey, Gary salvn here Odo Exits Eliminator. It's been receiving

155
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: rave reviews for years and there's a simple reason for that.

156
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: It works. Comments like I've tried everything to get the

157
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,240

191
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: a little time to talk about things. We need to

192
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: be a little mindful regarding our homes. Maybe it is

193
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: a little repair, maybe it's a little maintenance. I know.

194
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: The other day, I was always and I always do,

195
00:12:54,800 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: talk about garage door lubrication, how important it is. And

196
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: I said, there's two good times to do it at

197
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: extreme cold temperatures and extreme warm temperatures. Do it twice

198
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: a year, and I always mentioned July, in January July,

199
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: and of course in a lot of parts of the country,

200
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: we had some extreme winter weather in December beginning of December,

201
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: and the other I think it was on Christmas. As

202
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: I was, I bet you did this a few times

203
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: taking out trash, and I opened the garage door and

204
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: it was a little noisy. I could tell it was

205
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: not struggling, but it was groaning a little bit. And

206
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: immediately put it on my list, and that's going to

207
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: get done today because I didn't do it during the

208
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: most extreme weather, which was early December. Usually wait till January, yes,

209
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: and July, and so that's on my list today to

210
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: lubricate it. Easy to use silicone teflons, don't use grease,

211
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: don't use real refined oil clean the tracks and stuff.

212
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: But we can talk about that also. I always use

213
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: the Blaster's got a combination of those of the teflons

214
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: and silicons, and it's called a blaster garage door lubricant

215
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: and it works great. I haven't done it yet, but

216
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: I can tell you that garage is going to be

217
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: a lot quieter after I do use it. All right again,

218
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: grab a line. We've got a spot for you in

219
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: Fay Welcome.

220
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: Hello.

221
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 4: Yes, oh, I have a need another professional opinion regarding

222
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: a problem with my toilet.

223
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: Okay, it.

224
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 4: I really can't remember how old it is. I had

225
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 4: replaced the original toilet. I think the house was built

226
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: in nineteen sixty and I think I replaced it of

227
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 4: that toilet with this color, maybe maybe ten years ago.

228
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 5: Uh.

229
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 4: And it's one thing, it's very slow filling. It's it

230
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 4: takes about five minutes now to refill. Uh, and it

231
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 4: barely flushes. I've had three plumbers come out. It's been uh,

232
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 4: it's been rooted out twice. No, and one of the

233
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: plumbers it was it's well. One of the plumbers suggested

234
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 4: that the company come out and go on the roof

235
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 4: it could it could, and I really did want to

236
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 4: do that, so I didn't go that route. So I

237
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: had another plumber come. But but that first plumber did

238
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 4: Actually he showed me by taking a huge bucket of water,

239
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 4: and when he would pour it in, there was no

240
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 4: problem at flushes. So I can't figure out what the

241
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 4: problem is because if you fill it with a five,

242
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 4: you know, a bunch of water, it flushes. So consequently,

243
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 4: I keep an empty milk carton next to the commode

244
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 4: and if I need a really good flush, and I

245
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 4: just flush it and I have to hold it down

246
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 4: all the way the whole time. Uh, And I pour

247
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 4: the water and let the water pour in to get

248
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 4: a really good flush. Otherwise, and that's when you can

249
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 4: get a flush where you hear it going sut down. Otherwise,

250
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: I flush it and I'll twirls around and it twirls around.

251
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 4: But now it looks like it flushed something. But it

252
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 4: twirls around, and I don't know if it's a mode.

253
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 4: I mean, have replaced the hardware in the back and

254
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 4: tried that, and that didn't make a difference. So we

255
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 4: just put the old hardware back in.

256
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: Uh, Well, what does the plumber say to you, I

257
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: mean did he just say oh well, or I mean,

258
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: what's the story he didn't fix it?

259
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 4: Well, no, well they didn't know what to do to

260
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 4: fix it. One of the plumbers did go out into

261
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 4: the yard into the clean out and look down in

262
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 4: through there and there wasn't anything.

263
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: Well, I would say, the possibility of it being clogged

264
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: or you know, backed up something impeding that is about

265
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: twenty percent. So that would be the probably the last

266
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: thing I would check. Uh, not the first thing I

267
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: would check. So think about the way the toilets set up.

268
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: You got a closet that's full of water, and when

269
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: you press the lever down and the flapper goes up,

270
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: it transfers that water into the bowl, and it should

271
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: do it with a little bit of velocity, or you

272
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: don't have a strong flush and the water toils around.

273
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: So the first thing I would check is not the drain,

274
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: we'll get to that, but the amount of water that's

275
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: in that closet going into that bowl. When you press

276
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: that flush handle down, that flapper goes up. If it

277
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: doesn't allow that water to rush into that bowl, it's

278
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: not going to flush any waste. It's not going to

279
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: give you a good flush. So underneath the rim of

280
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: that toilet, there is a series of holes that go

281
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: all the way around, right, done that, Okay, So you

282
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: get a little compact mirror and you just run that

283
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: along underneath that rim and see if those holes are open.

284
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess they're not. There's gonna be well, Okay,

285
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: go ahead.

286
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 4: I was just gonna say, I have cleaned it and

287
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 4: cleaned it now. I've never really looked to see if

288
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 4: they're open, but I have seen when i've watched it.

289
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 4: I have saying water come down.

290
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's water. I just don't think there's enough of it.

291
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: So you can even get like a bobby pin if

292
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: you want, and with that compact it's showing those holes.

293
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: Is just stick the bobby pin in those holes and

294
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: see if you can. Probably hard water deposits in there

295
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: that's impeding the water from going from the closet into

296
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: the bowl, not giving you a good flush. So that's

297
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: number one. Number two, I'm gonna put you on hold

298
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: and we'll discuss the other area that might need the

299
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: attention and see if we can get that toilet working.

300
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: We'll continue at home with Gary Sullivan.

301
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,119

348
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: lines are opened. Fay, Let's get back to the toilet

349
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: issue here. We talked about getting enough flush down in there,

350
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: and I really do feel like that's probably your biggest problem.

351
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: The other problem is not so much blockage from you know,

352
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: like when kids are real small. I'd have one of

353
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: the kids that always throw down one of these little

354
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: rubber ized tiny cars and they get trapped in the

355
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: in the trap on the toilet. But a trap in

356
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: a toilet goes down, then it goes straight up, and

357
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: it does a one eighty and straight down, and normally

358
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: things will get wedged in there, like somebody tosses a

359
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: dixie cup in there, or a toy or something like that.

360
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: But usually backing up is not an issue. But it

361
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: requires not only an xyz amount of water, it also

362
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: requires a good airflow. Nobody ever thinks about air floor

363
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 1: flow when you're flushing a toilet, and that's where that

364
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: pipe is on the roof. That could have some debris

365
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: in it. But there's also when you look down into

366
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: that toilet, you'll see a little hole to the front

367
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: of the toilet under the water, and that's a vacuum hole.

368
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: It's actually a jet hole, okay, and hard water deposits

369
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: get clogged up in the air and you don't have

370
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: that air, and all of a sudden, the toilet kind

371
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: of functions like if you had a gas can and

372
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: you didn't flip up the vent in the back, it

373
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: just kind of blurb blurb blurb. It doesn't really flush evenly,

374
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: and it doesn't flush good. So down in that hole,

375
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: put yourself an old toothbrush or something, some rubber gloves

376
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: and just get that back in that jet hole and

377
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: just god just keep you know, trying, and scrub the

378
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: inside of that hole out. Okay, you'll see all kinds

379
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: of gunk come out of there. Then get a bottle.

380
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: Get a bottle of CLR It's calcium lime rusty movie.

381
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: You can get a hardware stores grocery stores. Take that

382
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: whole court bottle and pour it into that toilet bowl,

383
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: and let's sit overnight and then try and flush it

384
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: in the morning. See if that helps. Okay, Okay, those

385
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: two things are basically cleaning out the ports for the

386
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: air and also opening up the ports for more water.

387
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,239
Speaker 1: I think it's the ports underneath the rim and it

388
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: needs more water. And I think you're kind of proving

389
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: that to yourself by putting in the juggle, right right.

390
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: But try both of those and see if they don't

391
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: help your problem.

392
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 4: Okay, great, Well, I'm so glad I thought to call you.

393
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: I certainly needed.

394
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 4: Another suggestion, another opinion.

395
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: Very good.

396
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 4: I'll let you know. I'll let you know what happens.

397
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: I hope it helps you out. Very good. Thank you.

398
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: Pay all right, and again our phone number you can

399
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: grab a line. We got them. They're open. It's eight

400
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: hundred eight two three eight two five five. Happy to

401
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: take your calls as we talk a little home improvement.

402
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: All right. It's you know, after the holidays, of course,

403
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: we've had maybe a lot of people at the house,

404
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: maybe a lot of kids at the house. You're gonna

405
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: find a little ding and dent in the walls, and

406
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a scratch, and you're gonna maybe if

407
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: you're finicky about your home, and some of us are,

408
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: some of us not so much. But if you are

409
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: finicky about your home, you're gonna want to do a

410
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: little paint touch up if you have, and I hope

411
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: you do saved some paint that can match that room.

412
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: Of course, you know, make sure it's well stirred or

413
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: well shook up, because especially darker colors, maybe dark olives,

414
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: which are pretty popular right now, um or maybe even

415
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: a dark blue. If you just kind of stick stir

416
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: that and dip a little paint brush and know, I've

417
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: got that little scratch mark. I got that little scratch mark,

418
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: it's not gonna it's not gonna. It's not gonna look good.

419
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: Those have a lot of pigment in it. Pigment is

420
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: heavier than the water, which is the base of the paint.

421
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: What I would do, if you're gonna have a darker

422
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: color and you're gonna touch it up, I would either

423
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: get myself a paint stick and really stir it up,

424
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: so with stern arounds, just not around the circles. It's

425
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: down in the center. Lift up and stir around. Lift

426
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: up and stir around, or take it to the hardware

427
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: store or paint store. Make sure the lid's on nice

428
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: and tight, and let him put it on the shaker.

429
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: It only has to be on there for a minute.

430
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: And take it home and pop that lid off. You

431
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: can get yourself again. It's probably been painted with a

432
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: with a paint brush, uh or a paint roller, and

433
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: don't use a brush, That's what I'm trying to say.

434
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: So you can get one of these little tiny rollers,

435
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: four inch rollers, even if you just use that in

436
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: a little plastic tray and touch it up with that.

437
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 1: The fading of paints is in the last ten years

438
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: is minimalized. You used to say you can't really touch

439
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: it up because the paints faded the windows allowed too

440
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: much UV lighting. Not so, not a problem anymore. The

441
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: windows are better and so is the paint. It will match,

442
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 1: but it will not match unless it's really you know,

443
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: mixed up, be it a stick or taking the hardware

444
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: store and get it on the shaker. But I'm telling

445
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: you take that extra little step. It might take just

446
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: a little bit longer. But some of those darker colors,

447
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: with that smooth, flat, sweetish look, if you don't get

448
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: to all of that pigments stirred up up into that paint,

449
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna notice it. It's gonna be diluted. It's gonna

450
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: be a little bit lighter. So trust man that one.

451
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Debbie. Debbie, welcome, Hi Gary.

452
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: How are you doing fine? Thanks?

453
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: Good.

454
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 6: So I've got a question. I bought a house in October.

455
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 6: It's a ranch and it's got a partial basement and

456
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 6: there's a crawl space under three of the bedrooms. Okay,

457
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 6: the bedrooms are very cold. So I looked in the

458
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 6: crawl space. There is insulation in it on the walls.

459
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 2: Okay, it's like unfaced.

460
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 6: Insulation, and there is plastic on the floor. All right,

461
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 6: some of the plastic is ripped in places. But I

462
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 6: guess my question is, is there anyway I can get

463
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 6: those bedrooms to warm up? The rest of the house

464
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 6: is fine. You go in those bedrooms and you can feel.

465
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: The yeah, and I'm guessing that is the problem, though

466
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: it could be other things, such as the dampers that

467
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: are in the pipes that are going to those bedrooms.

468
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: Maybe the joints aren't sealed, maybe they're not real tight'.

469
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: In other words, you're not getting the full amount of

470
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: heated air back there. It could also be that, um

471
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: maybe the filter isn't you know. Again, it's the further

472
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: reaches are those bedrooms also, so it could be the

473
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: delivery system. There are adjustments on the damper that can

474
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: allow more air to go back there because it's satisfying

475
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: the thermostat. And I'm assuming the house thermostat is not

476
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: in those three back bedrooms. It's probably you know, it's

477
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: on the opposite end of that, Yeah, exactly, seeing when

478
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: you're blowing that heat, it's satisfying that thermostat there, but

479
00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: there's not enough getting back to those back bedrooms. I'm

480
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: just bringing this up. It's going to be hard to

481
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: determine which it is. It can certainly it can certainly

482
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: be the crawl space, and there can certainly be some

483
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: improvements with that. So I just wanted to throw that

484
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: other thing in there. So what kind of islation.

485
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 6: See the insulation blowing like it's vented, but I can

486
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 6: see when the wind blows that insulation blows in there.

487
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: So okay, So what kind of insulation is on the walls.

488
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 6: It's like a cream colored it's not faced, Okay, it

489
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 6: looks like the pink okay.

490
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: Okay, so you can't really tell how it's stuck to

491
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: that now, okay, all right, So it's helpful, Okay, it's

492
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: helpful and unfaced. All that means is it allows water

493
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: vapor to come through it, which is when it's below grades.

494
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: A good idea. So they got the right kind of

495
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: insulation up there, and there's none underneath the the floors

496
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: of those bedrooms. Correct, No, there is there an opening

497
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: in that crawl space for ventilation. They don't do it

498
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: too much now, but they used to do it.

499
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 6: Where there's als was built in seventy one, okay. And

500
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 6: there's vents, two vents on either side of the crawl space.

501
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: Okay. Do you have those open or closed?

502
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 7: They're open?

503
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: Okay. Probably close those, okay, because they're not really helping

504
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: you in the summer or the winter. When you think

505
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: about it. The summer, the only way it can ventilate

506
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: is if there's a wind. And there's wind in the summertime,

507
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: but not a lot of windy days and the air

508
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: outside is very humid, and a lot of problems with

509
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: crawl spaces is there's moisture issues. Okay, so we really

510
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: I would close those. There's a there's trends in building

511
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: practices now called whole house encapsulation, cross space encapsulation, attic encapsulation,

512
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: where they're just they're going to close off those vents.

513
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: They're going to insulate the walls, and they're gonna insulate

514
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: the floor. Even though it's Mother Earth what they'll do,

515
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: and and it's not cheap if somebody else does it,

516
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: but they'll they'll use that. Yeah, I mean it's three

517
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: grand plus maybe, But you can do some things. I

518
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: mean you you can do some things, even if it's

519
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: a matter of putting closed cell poam panels on the

520
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: ground and covering it with a ten mili plastic. Okay,

521
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: that's going to create some you know, it won't be

522
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: real super cold. You close those vents, you won't have

523
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: winter wind blowing in there. And I'd leave I'd leave

524
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: my on the walls as is. Unless we can figure

525
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: out a reason why we don't want to do that.

526
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it goes from top to bottom.

527
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 6: No, they're just small vents right in the Yeah.

528
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sorry, I'm talking about the insulation on the walls.

529
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: Does that go from Yeah, okay, So we'll leave those

530
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: the same. Maybe we'll work on insulating the floor, closing

531
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: up the vents and see if that helps. I would

532
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: not insulate underneath that floor. I mean it's a possibility

533
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: you can, but I don't think I would do it

534
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: until I close those vents and create a better moisture barrier,

535
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: and a closed cell foam will not allow water to

536
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: come through that foam. Put that on the base, even

537
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: if you use duct tape together and then just put

538
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: a ten mili plastic right on there. It'll check the

539
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: water and it'll also minimize cold air from going on

540
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: because that ground temperature stays, as you know in the fifties,

541
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: year round. But you know, so you'll you'll warm that

542
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 1: area up a little bit and that might be enough. Okay,

543
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: So and if nothing else, it will help you anyway

544
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: with a moisture issue, which you know can lead to

545
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: molds and things like that. So I would definitely do

546
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: that to the cross space, even if it wasn't cold bedrooms.

547
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 7: Okay, Okay, and then if it.

548
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: Doesn't work, I would really next time you have an

549
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: HVAC person there, talk to them, see if they can

550
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: make some adjustments on a vent runs, See if they

551
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: can make some adjustments maybe on cold air returns. Those

552
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: all play into not keeping those maybe even a wireless

553
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: thermostats for those bedrooms. So there's other things you can do,

554
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: but for the cross space, that's what I would do.

555
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: All right, Thank you much for the call. Appreciate it.

556
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,440

Speaker 1: Thank you?

604
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 7: Well, I'm a plumber. I'm calling about the woman who

605
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 7: just called about the toilet not flushing properly.

606
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 1: Uh huh.

607
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 7: And and one thing I always used to do is

608
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 7: uh I would take a five gallon bucket of water

609
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 7: and pour it in the ball and see if that

610
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 7: would initiate the flush, right, don't you know, determine whether

611
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 7: waste or and uh and normally than that, but a

612
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 7: lot of times old water clouses, they just they lime

613
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 7: up so bad. And you know, I've tried, I've tried

614
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 7: the rust removers and lime removers, and sometimes you just

615
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 7: gotta go ahead.

616
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: And I hear you, well, that's what was kind of

617
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: baffling me, to be honest with you, is she had

618
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: a plumber out there, and I don't know what this

619
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: story is. You know, every every service calls a little different,

620
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: right and uh, you know, the like replace the inside

621
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: parts of the toilet, and said, well, it might be

622
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: a problem on the roof. And then was that I said,

623
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: well did they They never fixed the problem? Then she

624
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: says no, And I hear exactly what you're talking about.

625
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't get that far, but you know,

626
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 1: lined up rim yeah clr, yes, small chance I will

627
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: work if it's got that whole wind and maybe knocking

628
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: some loose hard water deposits. Yeah, And I know you

629
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: guys used to use moratic asi and I don't recommend

630
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: homeowners to do that.

631
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, meridic acid, I used to use it. Ton't

632
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 7: wipe the lead joints.

633
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes you're you're exactly right. And I think she

634
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: said it was interesting. I callers run together after a while,

635
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: But I think she said the toilet was only like

636
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: ten to twelve years old. So I didn't know if

637
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: it was maybe, you know, and I wasn't going to

638
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: ask her. I don't think she would have known. I

639
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: didn't know if there was. You know, that certainly falls

640
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: in the era of the low flush toilets, and I

641
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: don't know, but it seemed like it's just started happening.

642
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: Didn't seem like it was a problem from the get go.

643
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: So you know, he said, he snaked out the.

644
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 7: Toilet, put them bowl cleaners in the tank. Yeah, and

645
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 7: then when you flush, it opens that flush valve and

646
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 7: that thing will slip down in there and kind of

647
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 7: claws of blockage. But that's kind of a temporary thing.

648
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Eventually, well, you might be right, she may need

649
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: another toilet, and I give some little basics, maybe she'll

650
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: get lucky and move some of those and and it

651
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: it works. Sometimes it's not a surefire fix. Obviously.

652
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 7: Sometimes you take that five gallon bucket, fill it with

653
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 7: water and it flushes the bowl, and then instead of

654
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 7: going further, you just keep filling that five gallon bucket

655
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 7: up and have it sit next to the water well.

656
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: So so, Mike, I don't know, you might have missed

657
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: the very first part of that call. So she was

658
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: talking about the plumbers that she had there, and I said,

659
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: so there was no solution and she said no, and

660
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: I thought that was strange. And she has a milk carton. Yeah,

661
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: she has a milk carton. So it was one gallon

662
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: and it's right next to the toilet and she flushes

663
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: and pours that milk carton in there and it removes

664
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: the waste it flushes. So I was pretty much back

665
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: underneath the rim. Somehow it's being impeded. It's not getting

666
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: that water from the closet to the bowl.

667
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, and venting too, I mean some of them at

668
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 7: the vents are clogged. You know, birds make nests, squirrels,

669
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 7: everything climbs. In the event, clumber should at least run

670
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 7: a snake or something down the vent. But I don't

671
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,280
Speaker 7: know if a lot of times I'd just say replace

672
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 7: the water closet years old.

673
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: That seemed odd.

674
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm still from the old school. Like the

675
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 7: old six gallon flushers.

676
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: Took care of everything, didn't it.

677
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 7: Well, the problem with these new water claws that you know,

678
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 7: they're one and a half gallon flush, and what happens

679
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 7: is it's not enough water to kiyo collins y. Yeah.

680
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: And even some of them now are like zero point six.

681
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 7: Oh yeah yeah. The old duel plush too.

682
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:22,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not enough water.

683
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 7: So and if you have a four inch sewer line,

684
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 7: it's not enough.

685
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: Water to carry the waist out right.

686
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 7: If you got a three inch, well maybe it might work.

687
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: But I hear you. Mike, thanks for the call. I
