All Right, like I said, we're halfway through 21 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: a long weekend for many of us, So I'm sure. Well, 22 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: I hope you had a very laid back, fun, relaxing 23 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: couple days, and maybe in the next day or two 24 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: people will be heading out again and you'll be left 25 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: kind of picking up the pieces. You know, there's been 26 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: a lot made of you know, I hear it all 27 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: the time. It's like the holiday sounds like a disaster. 28 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: It's brown Friday, it's the busiest day for plumbers. It's this, 29 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: it's that. So, you know, things happen around the home, 30 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: and a lot of times maybe nothing happens. But after 31 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: you're finished a holiday just kind of look and things 32 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: just they just look a little tired. Maybe you're a 33 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: little tired too, and you just let your mind wander 34 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: on different things. Maybe you can fix up and you 35 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: can change And I kind of go through this a lot. 36 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 1: In a kitchen, you know, it's pretty much our most 37 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: visible room, sometimes our busiest room, sometimes most a lot 38 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: of times the most room that we're entertaining in, even 39 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: if it's just a great gathering space. Of course, it 40 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: depends on the size of the kitchen and the size 41 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: of the home, but it is a gathering spot and 42 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: it takes a lot of it takes a lot of 43 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: abuse over the years, and there's things you can just 44 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: do to give it a little facelift. And you've heard 45 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: me talk about Dice coatings and a lot over the years. 46 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: And I found this product, jeez, I don't know, it's 47 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: probably twenty years ago. And I found it in an 48 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: older family paint store, probably twenty five years ago, and 49 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: it was a countertop finishing kid, and so I thought, well, 50 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: we'll try that, you know, give it a try. At 51 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: that point, there was a lot of different paints that 52 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: were saying you could use on countertops and coatings and 53 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: things like that, most of which didn't really hold up. 54 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: But I was going to give this a try. And 55 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: Peter Disch from Dice Coatings, he has all kinds of 56 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: countertop kits now. He's got a spreadstone countertop kit. He's 57 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: got one that looks like marble, he's got one that 58 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: looks like granite. And if you and I bring this up, 59 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: because it is the coolest product and one of the 60 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: easiest projects to do. And I'm not making fun of 61 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: anybody's countertops, but not everybody really has a budget of 62 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: six thousand dollars to put in granted countertops and maybe 63 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: at your house you have a white for Micah with 64 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: the gold speckles in that was the one that we 65 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: kind of covered up. Or maybe he's still a harvest 66 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: gold countertop, or maybe a pink for Micah countertop which 67 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: are dated right, And so you know, do you get 68 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: another from Micah countertop? Do you make the big step 69 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: and do the granite or do you coding on it? 70 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: And they had a contest, Oh, I'm going to say 71 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: just a couple of months ago, I guess where people 72 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: sent in pictures of the contest or of the countertops 73 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: that refinished. It was amazing, you know, the older countertops 74 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: again and to use this and it I'll be a 75 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: little generic. If you happen to be interested, you can 76 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: go to their website. But it's one of those projects 77 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: that you can do in a weekend and you're you're 78 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: not working the entire weekend. You're going to put a 79 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: couple hours and in the morning, a couple hours in 80 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: the afternoon, a couple hours in the evening. In fact, 81 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: you won't even put in a couple hours. You put 82 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: in an hour. You put in an hour, an hour 83 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: and an hour, and then the next day maybe an 84 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: hour and an hour and you're done. So these kids, 85 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: it comes with everything, and everything would be sanding sponges, 86 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: so that step on right clean and just lightly sand it. 87 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: Then you would after you do that, you'd remove the 88 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: excess and you'd put down a base. And as I 89 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: say all the time, you know, preparation's the key. So 90 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: you're really you're building this project. So you're getting that 91 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: that's the proprietary product to get that primer to adhere 92 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: to for Michael, which is pretty much a non absorbent material, 93 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: so it's got to be able to bite onto that 94 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: concrete or it's got to feel like concrete bite onto 95 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: that for mic and not chip. So you put the 96 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: primer on and literally you can wait for that to drive. 97 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: I mean that you're finished step on and you come 98 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: back step two. And oh by the way, yeah, you 99 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: put the primer on with a little roller. So if 100 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: you can paint a wall, you can do this project. 101 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: If you've got a little bullnose molding on the front 102 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: of it, you can use a brush. If you got 103 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: a little square air edging you can you can use 104 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: a brush or the roller. So after that dries, you 105 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: would come back and you would put on the the 106 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: the base for whatever you're going to do, the base 107 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: for the granite to the base for the spreadstone. I'll 108 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: use the spreadstone as an example. I always say it 109 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: kind of looks like a cooreon and you can see 110 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: the pictures on their website, Dice Coatings dot com. But 111 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: you would apply that, you know, in the afternoon, if 112 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: the primer's dried, you can come back and you apply, 113 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: you know, your your base coat. So you've done your primer, 114 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: You've gotten your bastcoat. In the evening, you can just 115 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: polish that up with the sandpaper because their stone is 116 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: so you get the minerals in there and kind of 117 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: get a little a little bling, if you will, and 118 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: come back and lightly sand and put your next coat on. 119 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: And so you got your primary and you got two coats, 120 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: and you can go to bed and call to day 121 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: and it's not quite finished, but it's looking pretty good. 122 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: And then you come back and you put a clear 123 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: seiler on there. But before you put the clear ceiler, 124 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: that's when you're kind of lightly standing and creating that 125 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: bling and then let it dry and come back and 126 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: put another clear seiler on it. I'll tell you it 127 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: looks fantastic to make it look like marble or granite. 128 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: There there's you know, a little bit more, not much, 129 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: but check that out if you're just kind of looking saying, yep, 130 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: I think this was our last holiday where we're just 131 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: going to have to do something with these counters. And listen, 132 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: it's a weekend. It's an hour, an hour, an hour, 133 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: an hour and an hour and you're done. So it 134 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: can be done right in the middle of the holidays, 135 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: quite honestly, and it'll give you quite a transformation.

Yeah, 229 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 4: they clip them off and you know, take them and 230 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 4: give them to somebody or whatever.

That's crazy and 261 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: that's what everybody wants to buy. I'm just bringing up 262 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: an option for you. It's gotta go. 263 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 4: Ron avocado fridge looks so, uh do they I asked 264 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 4: you this several years ago. I'm hoping they did. They 265 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 4: now make a cock this dissolver. 266 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: They do, but it doesn't really dissolve it. There's there's 267 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: some good ones out there. There's there's one. There's what 268 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: do you where's the cocking at uh? In the kitchen 269 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: where against the countertop and it goes against the wall. 270 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: It's cocked right across the top of that, and I 271 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: need to get that off and we're gonna we're painting 272 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: and then recalling. So now I got the utility knife 273 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: out there, you know, trying to kids that off, and 274 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: it's like probably the best way there. There's a cockermover. 275 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: It's called Mostenbacher, that's the brand name. 276 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 4: Sure it is, it is. 277 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: It's pretty good. It doesn't dissolve it though. What it 278 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: does is it just softens calking so that you can, 279 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: you know, start working it. And then what I do 280 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: is whether you get any brand I just found that's 281 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: probably one of the better ones. But get the cock. Uh. 282 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: And they are called removers, but it's really not. You 283 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: put it on there starts making it more pliable. And 284 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: you know you got the razor blade.

Just a little, yeah, just a little, just 301 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: a little. 302 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 4: I am mounting handles to hang on to all right, 303 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 4: going off some steps for my mom, and it goes 304 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 4: on the wall. But the wall's plaster. Do I still 305 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 4: use those? You know, you drill a hole and put 306 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 4: that the counter thing in there, and then and then 307 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 4: put the screw in that well. 308 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: If it's going to be a handrail. You want to 309 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: make sure it's really really substantial. So an anchor is 310 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: something probably not I'll tell you what I would use, 311 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: the old fashioned toggle bolts. Yeah, you know, it takes 312 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: a decent sized hole. I mean it might be a 313 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: three ace or a half inch hole, but use that, okay, 314 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: And then when you put that screw in, which is long, 315 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: it's going to go behind the plaster is probably going 316 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 1: to go behind the lath too, and then that toggle 317 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: spreads out. Then you really you really got something that's substantial. 318 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 4: I need to drill the whole measure how deep that 319 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 4: hole is right to match that well. 320 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: The toggle bolts usually come in three or four inches. 321 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: I mean it's hollow. Get on the other side of it. Yeah, 322 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: so it doesn't really matter, but that's going to give 323 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: you the best anchoring. And that's what I would use. 324 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't mess with anything but that unless 325 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: you can hit you know, wood in there when you're 326 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: drilling in there. If you go into you know, it 327 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: depends whether the lath is just a metal or whether 328 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 1: it's wood. And then there's still two by four. I mean, 329 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: if you can get into the two by fours, which 330 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: you can find with a you know, a stud finder 331 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: and just screw right into that.

We're 387 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: just talking about with Ron about you know, going in 388 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: and putting anchors into plaster drywall. I think is another thing. 389 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: Whenever you can mount a device that you're going to 390 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: you know, steady your body or help you up the stairs. 391 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: You want to make sure that it's you know, very 392 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: tightly anchored into hopefully the studs if you can get 393 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 1: to it. That's the best way to go for drywall. 394 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: I think one of my favorite anchors. I don't know 395 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: if you've used these. You know you got molly bolt anchors, 396 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 1: you got toggle bolt anchors, you got things that are 397 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: just wide threaded screws like those for light hanging ten 398 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: twenty pound items. But one of the things I use 399 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 1: occasionally when when I have to really make sure it's 400 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: it's you know, a good anchor. I can't remember exactly 401 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: what the weight limit per anchor is, but I'm going 402 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: to think about one hundred pounds plus. It looks like 403 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: a corkscrew, and it's a it's a I've seen them 404 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: where it's made of steel. I've seen them where they're 405 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: made of a hard plastic. I can kind of imagine 406 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: just thinking about it. About the thread depth is about 407 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: a half an inch. It's got a little point at 408 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: the end that you can kind of tap in, and 409 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: at the where you're going to run that screw in, 410 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: it's a it's a cross it's like a Phillips head 411 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: and you can take that and once you've tapped it, 412 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: intake a screw drive ever you're drill. You're just gonna 413 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: be careful and just tighten that thing right into the drywall. Again, 414 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if you use those or not. It 415 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: cuts a hole. It cuts a decent sized hole. It's 416 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: not gonna work in plaster, but it would work in drywall. 417 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: And that's where I've used it. And you tighten that 418 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: in and then just you know, once it's in, it's 419 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: probably half the size of a dime in the surface, 420 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: and just run a screw into the center of that. 421 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 1: And I tell you that gives a really good anchor 422 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: into walls. Maybe if you're doing it, you know uh something, 423 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: you know, one hundred pounds along those lines, it should 424 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: give you very much, very good support. But there's all kinds. 425 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: When you just killing time in a hardware store and 426 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: you just wander through the area the nuts, bolt, screws 427 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: and anchors. Take a look at some of the newer 428 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,959 Speaker 1: ones there. These have been around probably twenty years or so, 429 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: but they're they're very handy to use and easy to use. 430 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: I mean, realistically, you once you find out where the 431 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: studs are and if it's not going to line up 432 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: and you can't go right into the stud you don't 433 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: even need a drill with these, You just kind of 434 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: tap them in with a hammer, getting them started, and 435 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: then take your screwdriver and run that baby in there. 436 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: So it's kind of wanted to pass out along. Since 437 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: we were talking about the drywall all right again, our 438 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: number is eight hundred eight two three eight two five 439 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: five lines are open. You can go ahead and grab one. 440 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: Don welcome. 441 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 5: Hey, Gary, got a problem with my garage door opener, 442 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 5: actually OK, and it's you know, it's not the opener itself, 443 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 5: it's where the bracket connect to the door, all right. 444 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 3: And the two screws came out one one of I 445 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 3: was were yanked out. The other one I don't know 446 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 3: if it just backed out. Now I've got two thoughts 447 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 3: on repairing it. One is to drill to two different holes. 448 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 3: It had been held on with stuff happening screws yep, 449 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 3: So so that was my first thought. My second thought 450 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,959 Speaker 3: was that draw those two holes on through and then 451 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 3: use carriage bolts to. 452 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: Hold that well, that'd be an option. I was thinking 453 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: the same thing, not knowing exactly what's on the inside 454 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: of that door and where the struts are and different things. 455 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: Where you could go in is you know, it's not 456 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: going to look the greatest, but that is certainly an 457 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: option to just go all the way through an anchor 458 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: it that way, even if you get like a little 459 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: metal plate. I don't think you want to put wood 460 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: up there too much, But if you want to get 461 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: a metal plate also just to expand and distribute that 462 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: weight a little bit, that might be an option for you. 463 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm gonna go with the. 464 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 5: Uh with the carriage bolts, yep. I think our previous 465 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 5: garage or head carriage bolts there, okay, and that the 466 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 5: screws just both straight out for the problem to me, okay. 467 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 5: And also if I drill the holes in a different 468 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 5: spot mm hmm, then I'm worried about the alignment of it. 469 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: Well sure, sure, But I mean, can you go through 470 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: where that same where that same screw is pulling out? Sure, Yeah, I've. 471 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 3: Gotta I've got to drill. I just I'll just follow 472 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 3: that hole on through. 473 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, and then and then carriage ball from from the 474 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 5: outside of. 475 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: The side, sure, yeah. And then your alignment should be fine. Yeah, 476 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: you're not really. You know a lot of times people 477 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: you'll get in trouble with adding too much weight, even 478 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 1: if it's insulation on doors. But we're really not adding 479 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: enough weight where it would be any problem either. So 480 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: I think that would be I think that would work 481 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: as a do it yourself way. I would say that 482 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: would be the most substantial way to do it. 483 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, I was really worried about lighting it up again, 484 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 5: and and the the self stapping screws seem to be 485 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 5: a lot less sturdy than. 486 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, there's no comparison, quite honestly, Yeah, I 487 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: hear you. Okay, yeah, I think that'd be the way 488 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: to go. 489 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 3: Again. 490 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: You'll you'll be able to see the bolt heads, but 491 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: you know there's a couple of them. 492 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 5: That's it now, both heads are at the top of 493 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 5: the door. 494 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't care, right right, So yeah, I think 495 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: that would be just fine. In fact, I think that's 496 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: probably about the only way I'd be able to fix it, 497 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: to be honest with you. 498 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 3: Okay, all right. 499 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 5: Well that's that's good enough for me, and I know 500 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 5: that's gonna be good enough for my wife. 501 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 3: Gary said, do it this way, So I'm. 502 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: All right, dun thanks for the call, appreciate it very good. Yeah, 503 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: and another call. We say that a lot. After thirty 504 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: nine years, you think you'd have all the calls, but 505 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever had that one before. Speaking 506 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: of that, as we sit where we sit on the calendar, 507 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: and I've talked about this a lot of times too. 508 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: Garage door mechanisms fail in extreme extreme temperatures, whether it's 509 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: summertime July and August, winter time usually January and February, 510 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: especially if you live in hot climates or very cold climates. 511 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: Those are big extremes. And if your garage door is 512 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: just kind of a little sluggish opening up with the 513 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: door opener, or it's getting really loud, it's telling you 514 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: that it probably could use a little cleaning and a 515 00:29:53,640 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: little lubrication and an easy project to do. Maybe not 516 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,959 Speaker 1: something we would delight in doing all the time, but 517 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: the secret is cleaning it preparation, and also the type 518 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: of product you're going to use. You do not want 519 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: to use a real refined oil, and you certainly never 520 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: ever want to use a grease. So what I've done 521 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: in the past, and it works very well, is just 522 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: get a rag with a little mineral spirits on it 523 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: and clean the rails and clean the rollers, and you 524 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: know that's the mechanism that's probably making the screeching noise 525 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: or making the run a little slow. That gets to 526 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: be a little dust and dirt and gunk in those 527 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: tracks and rollers. Clean them out. And then in fact, 528 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: blaster is the name of a product. They have one 529 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: called garage door open or garage door lubricant, and it 530 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: is a silicon slash teflon that type, not a refined oil. 531 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: It's low temperature so it stays pliable if you will. 532 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: It's not a grease, but it stays lubricious, we'll call it. 533 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: And you spray that in there and then run the 534 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: door up and down a couple of times. Do the hinges, 535 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: do the spring, just do the mechanisms, and you run 536 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: that up and down a few times. I found when 537 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: I do it, and I always tell people do it 538 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: two times a year, and right now it'd be a 539 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: perfect time. And if he's working thoughts working on his door, 540 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: you know, clean it up and spray it and get 541 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: it lubricated and less strain. And I'm stunned every time 542 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: I do it. Is how. It just quiets the door, 543 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: So if you're just kind of screaming at you, that's 544 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: probably why. And there's a little bit of protection in 545 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: there too, so it lubricates and protects. But grease, boy, 546 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, don't use that. I've seen some 547 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: unbelievable bad calls when using grease. You know, the old 548 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: black grease. Never ever, ever, ever, ever used that on 549 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: a garage door. It's got a fiber in it. It 550 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: collects dust and dirt, and god knows there's plenty of 551 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: that in a garage. And then when it's collected and 552 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: sits into grease, it hardens. You're actually doing it more 553 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: harm than good. In fact, it ends up being worse 554 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: than it was when you started the project. So don't 555 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: don't use grease, all right?

Kelly, Thank you much. 598 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: I got your message talking about putting that handrail up 599 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: he was talking about putting one by one on the wall, 600 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: attaching that to the studs, and then running the screws 601 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: into the rail hangers to get that project done. So 602 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: I thought i'd passed that along. It's a good tip, 603 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 1: Thank you much. And what else I had also listed 604 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about, Oh yeah, on those handrails. 605 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,439 Speaker 1: Not so much for mounting. I love this time of year. 606 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: It just really gives you a chance to really look 607 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: at your house. You know, a lot of us are indoors. 608 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,760 Speaker 1: More so you start looking and seeing maybe a little 609 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: bit of the items that are dated in your home, 610 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: and you start noticing it, and not only in your home, 611 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: other people's homes. And I was thinking today, it's like, 612 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 1: all I want for Christmas for my home is what 613 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: I would say. Number one is removing wallpaper borders. We 614 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: have just one upstairs in an old bathroom that's rarely 615 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 1: used at this point, and I forgot it was even there. 616 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: I'm not I didn't forget the bathroom was there. I 617 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: just forgot that there was some little wallpaper border up 618 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: on the wall near the ceiling, and it is like, wow, 619 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: that's old school. I'm not saying you have to remove it. 620 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 1: If you love it, that's fine. But if you you 621 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: know all I you know, next year, I think that 622 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: border's got to go. If you start thinking of that. 623 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: Or when I was talking about the handrail, a lot 624 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: of handrails get ignored. They serve a purpose, obviously, but 625 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: over time, if you have a handrail that is stained 626 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 1: and varnished and that was thirty years ago and we 627 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: don't really pay much attention to it, they get worn also, 628 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 1: and they get sometimes gummy from the oils in our hands, 629 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: from just hand traffic or somebody's waxing it. That wax 630 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: gets gummy, and it just feels dirty and it gets sticky. 631 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: And one of the things, certainly you can clean it. 632 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: You got to find a wood cleaner that also not 633 00:37:55,719 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: only cleans the wood but removes wax and oils. Talked 634 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: about products that do that. But you can also refinish 635 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: the surface. In other words, take a six hundred grit 636 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: sanding sponge or a wet dry sandpaper, the black sandpaper, 637 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: the real fine grit, and just lightly go over that surface. 638 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: You're not going to go into the woods, You're not 639 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: going to sand the wanted stain out of there. You're 640 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: just going to clean that surface up and you're going 641 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: to remove some of that varnish and you're just, you know, 642 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: just you clean it up. You just get that gunk 643 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: off there and then put a coat of your athane 644 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 1: on there, or even do a second coat. You'll have 645 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 1: to stand in between it, but oh my gosh, what 646 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: a difference it makes, and you don't have to restain 647 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,959 Speaker 1: and if you want to even change that. I see 648 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 1: a lot of you know, painted rails. Now, maybe if 649 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: you have a home that has a lot of you know, 650 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: grays in it, or whites, or you went to pastels, 651 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: a black rail might be something you want to entertain. 652 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:22,760 Speaker 1: But it's whatever you choose, whether you rejuvenated or you paint, 653 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: it is going to look better than something that's just 654 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: tired and worn. And if you have some furniture there, 655 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: we used to talk all the time about a product 656 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: called restore a finish. Maybe you got an old chest, 657 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: old desk or something, and it too looks tired and 658 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: the finish is compromised. When a finish gets compromised, a 659 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 1: lot of times what happens is it gets small cracks 660 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 1: in it, and it gets what they call crazing and 661 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: or alligatoring is another word they use on it, and 662 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: it's the finish isn't peeling off, but it's drying off 663 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: and it's cracking. And of course, you know to refinish, 664 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 1: you're going to use some smart strip or you're going 665 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: to sand it. You're going to restain it, reathen it, 666 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: or another option is to paint it, or you can 667 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,959 Speaker 1: use a restore a finish. And I've used this product 668 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: multiple times and I want to say it melts the finish, 669 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: but I don't know if that's true. But what you 670 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: do is you get it in a pigmentation, so you'll 671 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: get a walnut or an oak or a cherry or 672 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:54,240 Speaker 1: whatever the wood is stained, and you take the restore finish. 673 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: It comes in like eight different colors on a cloth 674 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 1: and you just start wiping that on. You wipe it on, 675 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,919 Speaker 1: you let it sit, you wipe another coat on, and 676 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 1: I tell you it does just what it says. It 677 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: restores the finish. So if you like the color, and 678 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: maybe it's not too bad and we don't really have 679 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 1: to strip it, we don't really want to paint it. 680 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 1: Howard Products is the manufacturer of that particular product. Take 681 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: a look at it. It can do a good job 682 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,280 Speaker 1: for you. Andy. 683 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:35,320 Speaker 6: Welcome hell Gary. Yes, sir, I woke up Thanksgiving morning 684 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 6: with a stopped up sink drain. 685 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:38,400 Speaker 1: H huh. 686 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 6: My wife was working in the evening before I would 687 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,839 Speaker 6: into bed. But anyway, after about three rounds of drain 688 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 6: opener and hot water in it all day long, it 689 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 6: finally cleared itself. 690 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: Okay. 691 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,759 Speaker 6: My question is is there anything out there you can 692 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 6: put in a drain, like a maintenance stuff, you know, 693 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 6: just like once a month to help keep it clear. 694 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 1: Sure. Sure, there's a lot of great enzyme cleaners out 695 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: there now. And I don't know what kind of drain 696 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: opener you used. Maybe used an enzyme one, but it's 697 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 1: usually a powder that's mixed with water and you pour 698 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: it in, let it sit overnight, and then flush at 699 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 1: What it does is it just gets rid of any 700 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,479 Speaker 1: coatings and gunk that's in the drain. That's a good 701 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: maintenance thing. And you know, you can always use your 702 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,720 Speaker 1: own too, or mix your own with a little baking soda. 703 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: Take a half a cup of baking soda and a 704 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 1: cup of vinegar. Let it fizz about ten fifteen minutes 705 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: and rints away with hot water. That's a good way 706 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: of cleaning out those drains too, and getting rid of 707 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: some of that gunk. 708 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 6: Oh okay, Well, as crazy as this might sound, I mean, 709 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 6: you know, after we've cleaned up after Thanksgiving dinner, kids 710 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 6: was there and there's a lot of half bottles of 711 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,240 Speaker 6: sprite laying around, and I poured wine bottles of spright 712 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,920 Speaker 6: down in there. A man to get gurgles. 713 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well it's you know, there's a little acid in 714 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: there and there's a little carbonation in there. So yeah, 715 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 1: that may have that probably help you too.
