Just a quick reminder if you 31 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: got some really really cold temperatures. You know, I'm not 32 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: going to tell you not to use the garage door 33 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: of the garage door with the opener, because you're gonna 34 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: have to, But how important that is to keep that 35 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: well lubricated this time of year. So if you did 36 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: not get a chance to do that when we were 37 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: mentioning it in the fall, I would certainly encourage you 38 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: to do so. The first warming trend we get get 39 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: the rails, get the wheels, get the hinges, get the 40 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: spring blaster has a wonderful garage door lubricant. Don't use grease, 41 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: Please don't use grease. That makes it only worse. But 42 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: I would definitely get those lubricated once it's above freezing. 43 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: If we have one of those days in the next 44 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: week or so, there's a to do project for you. 45 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the phones and look forward 46 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: to your call and Mary, Welcome, Hi, Jerry, Hello. 47 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: I just need to know what should the humidity be 48 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: in the house when it's this cold outside. 49 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: Oh, i'd say thirty thirty five percent? Oh okay, yeah, 50 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: that's kind of dry. 51 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: Around forty Oh. 52 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: That's you know what that's Your windows aren't sweating or anything, well, 53 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: they are, okay, So it's a little ubited. In the summertime, 54 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: really fifty to fifty five percent. In the wintertime, it's 55 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: kind of a sliding scale. That's why I was a 56 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: little hesitant when I asked. In the winter, when it's 57 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: thirty two degrees outside, the probably perfect humidity is thirty 58 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: five to forty percent. When it gets down to twenty, 59 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: it's probably thirty percent. When is below that, really twenty 60 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: five percent is fine, But you get up to forty percent, 61 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: which is usually perfect, you're probably gonna start having some 62 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: condensation on the windows. So I don't know just watch. 63 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: I wouldn't panic over it. I mean, it's really not 64 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: hurting anything. It's only really hurting things if we just 65 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: have that all the time, and you know, we don't 66 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: dry the window sill or it's dripping on plaster or 67 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: wood and can cause you know, that to degrade a 68 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: little bit, so you know, keep an eye on. You 69 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: don't want that like that every day. But I kind 70 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: of enjoy the moisture right now. And you know, run 71 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: the fan when you're cooking, run the fan when you're showering, 72 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: and that'll that'll slowly lower. 73 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 2: Well, we have an april air. Oh okay, you know, 74 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: and control. 75 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: It that way, okay, rottle. 76 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, already, Thank you so much. 77 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: You're quite welcome. Thank you. Bye bye. I have to 78 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: check mine. I'm gonna bet you it's about thirty two. 79 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: I don't know that, but I'm gonna guess it is. 80 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: I had noticed the April air was a couple of 81 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: weeks ago. I was downstairs and downstairs which is always 82 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: more humid than probably most of our homes, and it 83 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: was like twenty five percent. It's like, why in the world, man, 84 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: that's crazy dry and upstairs in the living area and 85 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: you know, you got some plans, you got cooking going on, 86 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,559 Speaker 1: you got showers, and we are pretty good with a fan. 87 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: But it and it was like thirty three percent. It 88 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: was kind of cold, but it was it was that's 89 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: really perfect. But it was really dry in the basement. 90 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm always talking about air exchanging easy 91 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: breathe and how good it is for evacuating, you know, 92 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: the polluted air which usually settles down in the basement 93 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: and there's a umdistat on there and I usually just 94 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: I've said it many times on the show, I just 95 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: keep it on on year round. Well, when I saw 96 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: a twenty percent humidity in the basement, that's probably a 97 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: little too dry. Didn't feel dry, certainly, didn't smell moist, 98 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: it didn't smell mildewy like it does or it can 99 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: in the summertime. So I put that on on low, 100 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: which was about forty thirty percent, and that humidity went up, 101 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: so it's it was running. I guess it was last week. 102 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: It was running about thirty five percent in the basement, 103 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: which I thought was really good. But that's also another proof, 104 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: you know, how those air exchangers work. And like I said, 105 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: there is a humidistat depending on the generation of it, 106 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: a humidistat or there's a high, medium low. And in 107 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: the winter time, you know, you can set that thirty 108 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: five forty percent in the basement, you'd be golden. In 109 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: the summertime, you'll probably struggle like heck to get it 110 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: to that point. But set it at fifty to fifty 111 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: five percent or just turn it on. And in a summertime, 112 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: I always just turn it on on because there's there's 113 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,679 Speaker 1: a lot going on in basements in the summertime where 114 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: it does have a it's a haven for humidity levels. 115 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: Uh So with all the moisture, it's it's coming through 116 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: walls and coming up through floors. And I'm not talking 117 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: about a leak. I'm just talking about water vapor. And again, 118 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: when you have too much humidity in your home in 119 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: the summertime, you're uncomfortable. And it might even smell a 120 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: little mildewy in your home, but mainly you'll just feel uncomfortable. 121 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: You'll have to turn the air. Can it surn down 122 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: a little bit, get a little bit more of that 123 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: humidity out of there in the winter time, a little humidity, 124 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: a little too much humidity is going to show up, 125 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: just as she said, as water droplets on the windows. 126 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: Don't panic, don't panic. You can check the windows, make 127 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: sure they're locked, make sure there's not a lot of 128 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: draft there. And if there is, we can talk about 129 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: eliminating and fixing that too. But if it's just the 130 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: water vapor hitting a cold window and shedding some of 131 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: that moisture into water droplets, you're okay. I mean, you're okay. 132 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: You don't want that like that every day during the 133 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: winter because you could start having some damage to the 134 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: wood sills or the plaster. But you know, if you 135 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: have it for a few days, it's not a big deal. 136 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: But that's where your humidity levels should be. When I 137 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: was talking about a drafting to window, make sure the 138 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: window is locked. I mean, that's step number one. There 139 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: is weather stripping on like a double hung window, and 140 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: when you lock it, it pushes that window against the 141 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: other window and the frames and it creates the seal. 142 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: And if they're older windows and you can lock them 143 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: and you know, they still rattle because that it's not 144 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: getting that weather stripping up against it. I've mentioned this 145 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: a lot of times. I don't know if have you 146 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: ever tried it. But if you can feel a lot 147 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: of draft coming through that window or around the sides 148 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: of the window, or when it was real windy, maybe 149 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: a couple days ago, and you hear the windows rattling, 150 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: there's a there, there's clocking out there. Draft stop peel away. 151 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: It's a clear cocking. You can colck that window closed. 152 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: I know it sounds crazy, it's clear. You can't tell it, 153 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: and it eliminate that draft. And when you know it 154 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: becomes early spring and you want to ventilate the house 155 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: or something, you just take your fingernail and just peel 156 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: that calocking away. So simple to use, and if it 157 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: and it'll really stop a lot of the draft, and 158 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: if you want to really create a little dead space, 159 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: then you can use the draft stop peel away calock 160 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: the window closed, the double hung window, just do at 161 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: the top and do it the sides. If it's a casement, 162 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: you do around the whole thing where it hits that 163 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: metal bar in the center. There's still plenty of those 164 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: windows out there, and cock it close. And then take 165 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: those window wraps storm window plastic. It's a double sided 166 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: tape and it's a shrink proof plastic. Put that on 167 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: hit it with a hair dryer and you can't tell 168 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: there's a piece of plastic up there.

All right, busy time of year inside 225 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: our homes for sure, Kitchen and dining areas and different things. 226 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: So I want to talk a little bit about protection 227 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: for your chairs. Well, it's actually not protection for your chair. 228 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: It's more protection for the flooring under your chairs. And 229 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, if you've got an island and you got 230 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: you know, three or four barstools, and then you've got 231 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: a table over there, and maybe they're wrought iron, and 232 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: you've got you six chairs over there, and you've got 233 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: a I don't know, a laminate or an engineered floor, 234 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the holidays come and you 235 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: have more people in there, and you haven't really been 236 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: paying attention, you know, to the maintenance of your chairs. 237 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: I mean, at first you kind of think, who worries 238 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: about the maintenance of your chairs? But if I paint 239 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: a scenario, you may say, oh, I've had that problem before, 240 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: or geez, I think I got that problem now. And 241 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: that is, if you move the table chairs around, or 242 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: you slide the bar stools out, and you just it 243 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: just doesn't slide, there's a good chance that the protector 244 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: at the bottom of that chair, be it wrought iron 245 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: or wood or whatever, has been compromised or is missing, 246 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: or you have worn through the nylon cap that fits 247 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: at the bottom of that chair leg. So when the 248 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: holidays come and we start having a little more kitchen traffic, 249 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: if you will, and those chairs start being moved around 250 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: and maybe moved around without a whole lot of care 251 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: or thought, which certainly happens this time of year, we 252 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: end up with scratches. We end up with scratches. An 253 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: engineered wood floor or regular wood flooring or even LVT 254 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: can be damaged. So if you just very easy. First 255 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: of all, it's so easy, you don't really have to 256 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: do anything special. Just pay attention to maybe the chairs 257 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: you use in that kitchen area and how well do 258 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: they slide or don't they slide well at all? Or 259 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: are they unbalanced and they rock a little bit? Because 260 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: these are so easily repaired. And by the way, those 261 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: little glides on the bottom of a chair leg, they're 262 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: not real expensive, but they're not cheap either, So and 263 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: if you change one, quite honestly, I'd take a look 264 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: at all of them. Just did this. It's probably been 265 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: about six months, but I started having a you know, 266 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: a kitchen where the counter is the stool there that 267 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: I use. It was very clunky, okay, And we have 268 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: ceramic tile in the kitchen, so I didn't have to 269 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: worry about it really damaging the top per se, but 270 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: it could scratch it. They were a metal stool, if 271 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: you will, and there were natural glides on the bottom 272 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: of that which would allow that to move comfortably across 273 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: the floor. And I was thinking at that point, geez, 274 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: if that was wood or something a I might not 275 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: even notice it. And b if I did notice it 276 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: but not in time, it certainly could lead to scratches. 277 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: So if you just pay attention to how well the 278 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: table or the chair slide, and just maybe walk through 279 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: the kitchen pull out stools, pull out chairs, and just 280 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: you know, see see how well they glide on the 281 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: floor itself. And if they don't glide very well, before 282 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: the holidays, in the rampage of people coming to your home, 283 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: you get those repaired. You can repair them again, very 284 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: easy to do on them little barstool, there might be 285 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: little nylon caps that just snap onto the bottom, or 286 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: maybe it's a metal where you're actually going to put 287 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: the tubular steel into and it's got a metal glide 288 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: or a nylon glide underneath it. There's even adjustments, there's 289 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: felt glides, try and find what you have on there 290 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: and maybe the you know, duplicate that or change them 291 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: all out to another type of glide. But again it's 292 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 1: just thinking ahead. I know a lot of times on 293 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: this show we always address you know, the incident, the accident, 294 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: the thing that happened, and if we had just taken 295 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: a little step back and looked at the bigger picture 296 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: of things that could go wrong and things that might 297 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: you might want to check really can save you some 298 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: damage to your house or to a floor or or whatever. 299 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: You know, It's like it's it's all encompassing.

I'm looking outside, Dan, 357 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: and there's like six inches of snow at zero degrees. 358 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: I wanted to stay out there, but I know it's 359 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: going to get inside. 360 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Luckily for me. You know, I've got 361 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 4: a different view nowadays. I'm actually calling in from South Florida. 362 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 4: But the majority of the folks that represent our business 363 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 4: are dealing with the same stuff as you are right now. 364 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 4: I think anywhere from from Maine all the way down 365 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 4: to Maryland right now. So everybody's in the same boat. 366 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. So as this melts, and as we 367 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: use ice melters and calcium chlorides, and you know, we 368 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: we dragged this into our home, and I guess you 369 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: know you're you're familiar with all different types of flooring 370 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: products too. I guess the first thing is give us 371 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: some tips on preserving what we have, and then we'll 372 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 1: talk about maybe some different flooring products that you know 373 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: stand up to that abuse a little bit better than others. 374 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 4: Absolutely. Yeah, So the the benefit for most homeowners today 375 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 4: is that most floring products that we have installed in 376 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 4: our homes right now have been manufactured with these sorts 377 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 4: of things in mind, whether they're five years or ten 378 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 4: years or twenty years old. All these synthetic flooring options 379 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 4: like carpet, laminate, vinyl flooring, even a lot of pre 380 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 4: finished hardwood flooring as these sorts of inherent protections ingrained 381 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 4: in them through the manufacturing process nowadays. So we can 382 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 4: talk about new flooring options a little bit later, but 383 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 4: as far as what folks can do, it's exactly what 384 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 4: you're talking about. How do we protect what's on the 385 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 4: floor now from what's outside the home. Well, let's just 386 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 4: logically prepare the entry areas of our home for what 387 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 4: we know is going to come in and out right, 388 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 4: heavy foot traffic, cold flush, rocks, salt, chemicals, sand, all 389 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 4: the stuff that we're using to treat the roads and 390 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 4: sidewalks and things like that. Outside the home. We want 391 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 4: to keep those exactly like you said, outside so entry mats, 392 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 4: walk off mats for inside the house. Really during this 393 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 4: time of year, trying to urge everyone to keep those 394 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 4: shoes and boots at the door. And you know, frankly, 395 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 4: whether you have heart surface flooring or carpeting, the best 396 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 4: thing you can do is vacuum all those areas frequently 397 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 4: high suction vacuum, rotating beet bar. Try to keep all 398 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 4: that dirt and grit and debris off the floors at 399 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 4: all costs. 400 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: Sure, so getting rid of the residue and stuff. I 401 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: guess even pH neutral products would probably work a little 402 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: bit for we don't have any reaction with different flooring products. 403 00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: Is that a good tip? 404 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 4: Sure? Yeah, I think you know, when you're talking about uh, 405 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 4: you know, floor maintenance, I mean anything that's non abrasive 406 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 4: or not overly uh encumbered with chemicals is obviously the 407 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 4: best thing you can do. But as simple as wiping 408 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 4: your floor with uh you know, not a soaking wet 409 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 4: mop but a kind of damp rag. At these times 410 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 4: of year, keeping everything dry, keeping everything clean, and really 411 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 4: trying to think about how you keep those little rocks 412 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 4: and and bits of things that get caught on people's 413 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 4: shoes from from tracking around the homes and causing those 414 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 4: gouges and scratches on your hard floors. 415 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, keep it clean, wipe it down. I love 416 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: the you know, the good vacuuming too, because especially you 417 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: know there's some of the older homes. You walk in 418 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: the front door, you're writing carpet and you know that's 419 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: that's a main traffic aisle, and you know, all that 420 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: grit that you're talking about in dirt gets down into 421 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: the fibers of the carpet. It's not good for the carpet. 422 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: It gets sold faster and really deep. I had somebody 423 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: tell me a long time ago, Dan, you might you 424 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: can use this sign. I feel like carpet doesn't wear out. 425 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: It ugly is out? 426 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 4: Sure it does. And you know you can see carpeting, 427 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 4: especially in the entry and high traffic areas of homes 428 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 4: that really visibly appears dirty. But it could be the 429 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 4: cleanest carpet there is. 430 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 431 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 4: When you get those little bits of rocks and debris 432 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 4: that get dammed in there through improper care and maintenance, 433 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 4: it damages the pile and that damages the aesthetic of 434 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 4: the carpet. Over time, sure, and that's how you start 435 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 4: to see that added or discolored look relative to the 436 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 4: rest of your space. 437 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 2: Is flooring? 438 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: I know, there's so. I mean, our homes have changed 439 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: so much. Once everything was wood, then everything was carpet, 440 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: and now we've got ceramic, we got laminits, we got LVT, 441 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 1: we got LVP, we got all kinds of things. Is 442 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: flooring g a graphical? I mean, does does that make sense? 443 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 4: I mean, believe it or not? You know, my my 444 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 4: business operates in uh in fourteen states and the district 445 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 4: of Columbia, and the trends and flooring are pretty ubiquitous 446 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 4: even within those areas. You know, I think folks consistently 447 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 4: love carpet in the in the more comfortable areas of 448 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 4: the home, the bedrooms, the living rooms, and for the 449 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 4: more practical areas LVT luxury vinyl plank, luxury vinyl tile. However, 450 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 4: we want to quantify this, you know, there's a there's 451 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,959 Speaker 4: all different classifications. Is is and has become over the 452 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 4: past five or eight years, a clear winner in terms 453 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 4: of practicality for for the home or even for for 454 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 4: a high traffic commercial states. 455 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: I agree the LVT is just just taught as a 456 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: firecraker right now. Still remember the fast time I saw 457 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: the International Builder Show, I stood on there, so you 458 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: stand on wood right now and yeah, yeah, yeah, I 459 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: am right, good looking stuff. How about basements. I mean 460 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: we've seen, especially since COVID, people looking for more room 461 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: in their homes, exercise rooms, offices, maybe not a theater room, 462 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: but a place to watch TV and stuff, get a 463 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: lot of cage. Yeah, garage, Oh yeah, absolutely. 464 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 4: The garage is like the new basement. Yeah right, But yeah, 465 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 4: for basements, I think again it comes down to personal preference. 466 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 4: You know, carpet is always going to require a little 467 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 4: bit more maintenance and a little bit more care to 468 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 4: keep the longevity from it than something like a heart 469 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 4: surface product. But I think practical application for carpet in 470 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 4: the basement again, like you said, movie room, sound reduction, 471 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 4: comfort style, a little bit of warmth, especially during those 472 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 4: winter months. Uh, you want to focus on keeping it dry, 473 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 4: keeping a climate controlled, keeping things vacuumed and fresh, hard surface. 474 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 4: Let's say if you were to put LVT into your basement, Uh, 475 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 4: you're going to put it down once and never change it, right, 476 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 4: but you know, keep it, keep it clean, keep it dry, mopped, 477 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 4: make sure we take shoes off and install or at 478 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 4: least place walk off mats in all major entry and 479 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 4: exit points from the space. 480 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: So LVT is that waterproof? And I know some laminates 481 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: are termed water resistant and waterproof kind of walk us 482 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: through that. 483 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 4: Yes, So waterproof is uh is? It is, let's say, 484 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 4: a classification that manufacturers are using for laminates and LVT 485 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 4: products these days. And it really has to do with 486 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 4: the construction of the product itself, like primarily the core board. 487 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 4: And so I think what we want to think about 488 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:11,239 Speaker 4: there is, especially in climates like the Northeast or you 489 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 4: all are located, when we have these dramatic shifts in 490 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 4: relative humidity and moisture and temperature from season to season. 491 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 4: If you go back ten years and you look at 492 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 4: the not only the vinyl products, but like specifically the 493 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 4: laminate flooring products, these synthetic floring products, the amount of 494 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 4: expansion and contraction associated with those things has really been 495 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:42,959 Speaker 4: mitigated through use of technology vinyl and stone composites, LVT 496 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 4: products and stale vinyl and other synthetic material composite core 497 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,479 Speaker 4: core boards for lamin apport and so you can get 498 00:31:53,520 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 4: this waterproof classification, which basically means that your floor isn't 499 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 4: going to buckle. Uh if you get a dishwasher pop 500 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 4: on it, or if you know, you get a reasonable 501 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 4: amount of uh standing water, right, you have a chance 502 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 4: to save the floor. But if if we get a flood, 503 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 4: or if we get our toilet backed up and we 504 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 4: get you know, six inches of water, I think there 505 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 4: are other issues around the floor that are going to 506 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 4: impact the viability of the product going forward. Uh, these 507 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 4: are these are where and longevity benefits asciate these coreboard features. 508 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: Right, So what things should people consider? What mistakes do 509 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: people make when picking out flooring? Now? In other words, 510 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: just kind of a buyer's guide if you can help 511 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: me with that, is it just cosmetic or you know, 512 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: kind of give me a little course on that. 513 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think if and I'm sure this is consistent 514 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 4: throughout you know, most areas of home renovation.

Well, that was interesting, and I know how 627 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: busy our houses will all become. And I was just 628 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: talking about, you know, floor protectors being used on chairs, 629 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:43,320 Speaker 1: and then he's talking about dragging you know, little tiny 630 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: rocks and sand and you know, salt into the floors 631 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: and the damage that it does, and certainly a lot 632 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:54,360 Speaker 1: of that goes on when he's talking about the floors 633 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: and garages. That is a big trend we've been talking about. 634 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,319 Speaker 1: I think niches for garages, maybe not so much of 635 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: creating another room. But I have to tell you when 636 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: he said garages have become a new basement, he's exactly correct. 637 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 1: There's no question about that. We see people cleaning out 638 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:22,800 Speaker 1: garages and altering them a little bit, eliminating garage doors, 639 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: me putting in you know, filling those garage door openers, 640 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,720 Speaker 1: or even keeping the garage doors some cases and having 641 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,440 Speaker 1: screens that come down.
