I want 181 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 2: to talk to James. Hey, James, welcome home. 182 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 6: Good morning. Yes, I have a double wide mobile home 183 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 6: from the seventies with a metal roof. One side there's 184 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 6: a car port and the other there's a screen in porch. 185 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 6: And when it rains, there's a gap on both of 186 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 6: those constructions out a half inch to three quarter inches, 187 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 6: and the water just pours down the wall. And I'm 188 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 6: wondering what's the best way to steal that up. I'm 189 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 6: looking at acrylics and silicon. 190 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it's a good way to do it. 191 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 2: You're gonna need first of all, though. Okay, so let 192 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 2: me just back up, by the way, I grew up 193 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 2: in a metal roofed double wide mobile home, so from 194 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: the seventies, and so I feel, you know, I know 195 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: where you're at. I know what you got over your 196 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 2: head there the car port and on the other side, 197 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: the screened in area. Most leaks that happen on a 198 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: mobile home assembly like that happened at the point where 199 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 2: the car port joins the mobile home and where the 200 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 2: screened in area joins it, where the deck joins it. 201 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 2: That's where almost all the leaks that happen on a 202 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 2: mobile home roof occur. And that's because sometimes when those 203 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 2: things are built, sometimes they're kind of built as almost 204 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: as if they were kind of free standing, and they're 205 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 2: not tied in properly into the mobile home roof. Now 206 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: you've got about a three quarter inch gap. That's a 207 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: big gap for sealant to handle all by itself. Okay, 208 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: So I wouldn't recommend. And there are some great roof 209 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 2: celants out there that are used for mobile homes that 210 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: will last a long time, that'll put up with a 211 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: lot of heat, a lot of sunlight, and so on. 212 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 2: But I'm not going to recommend that you just pump 213 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 2: in sealant into that gap because it's a big spread. 214 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 2: Three quarters of an inch is a big spread. Now, 215 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 2: at first it will it'll work, but eventually it'll crack 216 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 2: again because we're asking too much bridging of that sealant. 217 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: What I will recommend, though, is that and you may 218 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 2: need to talk to somebody about this, a roofer about 219 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 2: this is a piece of flashing to bridge first of all, 220 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 2: to bridge the gap and then seal the flashing using 221 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 2: your really good sealans to the mobile home roof or 222 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 2: the edge metal on the mobile home and over on 223 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 2: top of the car port area and the screened in area. 224 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 2: So in other words, let's use metal to actually bridge 225 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 2: the gap, and we'll use it. We'll employ the ceilings 226 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 2: in order to seal the metal down on both sides 227 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: in order to make sure that we've got a good connection, 228 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 2: because three quarters of an inch is a long way 229 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: for calking to span all by itself. 230 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 6: All right, we're looking to that. That sounds very good. 231 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 6: Thank you very much, and you have a good morning. 232 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 2: You too, James, thanks so much for the call. It's 233 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 2: so nice when I can just answer a question and 234 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 2: they're like, oh, thanks, see you. It's awesome. All right. 235 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: Do I have time to Yeah, we got time. Let's 236 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 2: talk to Cindy. Hey, Cindy, welcome home. 237 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 7: Hi, good morning, Thanks again. Been listening to you for 238 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 7: a long time. Calling from San Diego Point Loma area. 239 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 7: And my question is could you give me the formula 240 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 7: again for making a paste to get rid of mold 241 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 7: in two grout areas in the kitchen area, which is 242 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 7: right near courts, like a countertop area and also in 243 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 7: the bathroom where it has tiles. I know you said 244 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 7: this many years back, or was it, you know, if 245 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 7: you could share again please Okay? 246 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, So you know, when we're talking about mold, the 247 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 2: best way to alleviate it and to fight against it 248 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: is to just do it like a fifty to fifty 249 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 2: water and bleach. Okay, water and bleach, and if but 250 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 2: if we when you say paste, what we do is 251 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: we add in a third component there to the water 252 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 2: and bleach mixture. And this component is not necessarily a 253 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 2: chemical component that aids in the removal of the mold 254 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 2: or the killing of the mold. That's what the bleach does, okay, 255 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 2: And you just don't need one hundred percent bleach. That's 256 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 2: just it too caustic for you, and it's not necessary 257 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: because mold, mold is really once you're dealing with mold, 258 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: mold's really kind of a wimp, all right. So everybody's 259 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 2: fears mold is growing everywhere, and I get it, and 260 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 2: it should be addressed. But mold is not like some 261 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 2: alien creature that cannot be killed by conventional weapons. It 262 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 2: actually dies really easily once it's exposed to you know, 263 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 2: to sunlight and too certain chemicals like bleach bleach will 264 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 2: just like knock it out. So a fifty to fifty 265 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 2: mixture water and bleach, and then you can add if 266 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 2: you really need it to sit there and stay on 267 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: that area to really penetrate and do its job, then 268 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 2: you add in just a little bit of baking soda, 269 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 2: just basically baking soda in or to make it a paste. 270 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 2: And baking soda is honestly, it's it's the thing that 271 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 2: is recommended the most. I've heard people say, well, you 272 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 2: could also make a paste just by adding in flour, 273 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 2: you know, And yeah, that's true. But the problem is 274 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 2: flour is a food and it's got carbs in it 275 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: and sugars that actually encourage the mold a little bit more. 276 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: So we don't want to do that. The baking soda 277 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 2: is just mold has no use for it whatsoever. And 278 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 2: it's powdery enough that it can take that bleach and 279 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 2: water mixture and convert it into a paste. And that 280 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 2: way you can kind of spread it on walk away 281 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 2: and let it sit there for an extended period of time. 282 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 2: And so, but just to understand that the real agent, 283 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 2: the killing agent, is the bleach. You don't need it 284 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. So you cut it fifty to fifty 285 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 2: with water, and you add some baking soda as necessary 286 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: if you want to make a paste that that you can, 287 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 2: you know, backle it on, walk away and come back, 288 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: you know, a day later, and wipe it off because 289 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 2: you've allowed the bleach to stay and to and to 290 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: really do its shop. Does that make sense? 291 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 7: Yes, So the bleach won't do anything to the tiles 292 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 7: or the courtz countertop. 293 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 2: It really won't bleach bleaches. A lot of people think 294 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 2: because they see what bleach does that it's an acid. 295 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 2: But bleach is not an acid. It's not an acid. 296 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 2: It will it will not etch. 297 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 7: Okay, okay, all right, I just want to make sure. Okay, 298 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 7: thank you so much, really enjoy it. 299 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 3: Thank you, Happy holidays. 300 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 2: Appreciate the call.

A three three the numeral to ask Dean. 356 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: In the meantime, I always have a collection of questions 357 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 2: that people have asked that I'm ready to answer, and 358 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 2: I don't always get the chance to do this. Uh, 359 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 2: somebody asked me to explain the the Wiener at Disneyland. 360 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 2: I get a lot of because from time to time 361 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 2: I talk about the Wiener at Disneyland and they're like, wait, 362 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 2: what are you talking? What is that? Are you being obscene? No, No, 363 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 2: I'm not being obsen This is a this is uh. 364 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 2: If you've ever been to the Magic Kingdom in Orlando 365 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: or Disneyland out here. Uh, there's a story. And it's 366 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 2: an anecdotal story. Okay, I don't know to what degree 367 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 2: it's absolutely one percent accurate, but it is a famous 368 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 2: kind of you know, myth that is wrapped around the 369 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 2: creation of Disneyland, and I use it from time to 370 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 2: time as a great example of great design intent. So 371 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 2: here's the thing, Disneyland. Actually, you can learn more about 372 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 2: designing your home by making a self conscious trip to Disneyland, 373 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: by the way, than you will from sitting down with 374 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 2: most architects. Sorry, it's just true. Disneyland knows how to 375 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 2: design an experience wrapped around architecture. So here's the thing. 376 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 2: You show up at Disneyland and you walk in, the 377 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 2: very first thing that you encounter, quite intentionally is the 378 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 2: nostalgia of Main Street, USA. Right now. For Walt at 379 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: the time, this was hearkening back actually to a town 380 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 2: that he lived in and actually experienced himself. Okay, but 381 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 2: the way it has worked out, even now in the 382 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 2: twenty first century, there is something about this late eighteen 383 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 2: hundred's Victorian architecture Main Street, USA town that invokes all 384 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 2: this nostalgia. And I know it's a little strange because 385 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 2: you and I never lived in that town ever, because 386 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: it was like one hundred plus years ago. Okay. Nevertheless, 387 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 2: there's something about that era and we you know, you 388 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 2: know what we do. We over romanticize the past. We 389 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 2: have this longing each of us for a simpler time, 390 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 2: or at least a perceived simpler time. Nostalgia just carries 391 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 2: you away, and the esthetics of the architecture in the 392 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 2: late Victorian era and so on. So this is really 393 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 2: a psychological, you know, work over for adults coming into Disneyland. 394 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 2: Main Street is for those adults, kids, the young kids, 395 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 2: they're just thinking about, you know, where's Star Wars Land, 396 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 2: where's all that stuff happening? But for adults, you're the 397 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 2: one who is being taken back, even to an area 398 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 2: that you never lived in, but taken back and softened emotionally. 399 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 2: He made to feel young again and safe and relaxed 400 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 2: by walking into and experiencing Main Street. So there it is. 401 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 2: But Walt then had to get us off of main 402 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 2: Street and moving further into the park. And how does 403 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 2: that happen? How do we get off of main Street 404 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 2: and move further into park? This is where the Wiener 405 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: comes into play. Walt had a dog, and famously at 406 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 2: this time when Disneyland was originally being designed, he had 407 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 2: trouble training this dog. It just did not want you know. 408 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 2: He tried various trainers, and he tried all himself, and 409 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 2: he just wasn't getting the dog to do what he 410 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 2: wanted to do. He discovered one day after a trip 411 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 2: to the butcher's shop, and he brought home a strand 412 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: of wieners. That's the wiener, okay, it's sausages. Basically that 413 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 2: he could toss a wiener wherever he wanted to in 414 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 2: the yard and lo and behold, no great mystery. The 415 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 2: dog would go there, and pretty soon he started using 416 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 2: the sausages as a way of motivating his dog to 417 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 2: get him to do what he wanted to do. And 418 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 2: this was the phrase that he used with the engineers 419 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: at the imagineers at Disneyland in the early days before 420 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 2: they were building it, to figure out. Listen, once people 421 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 2: are on main Street, now we have to move them 422 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 2: into the park. There has to be something that draws 423 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 2: them in. In other words, I want to take a 424 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 2: wiener a sausage, and I want to throw it down 425 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 2: somewhere to get the crowds off of Main Street further 426 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 2: into the park. What was the wiener going to be? 427 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 2: And you can imagine right now, if you've ever been 428 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 2: to Disneyland, you know what the wiener is. It is, 429 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 2: in fact, Sleeping Beauty's Castle. It's the castle. It's the 430 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 2: one thing at Disneyland. It's the one area that is 431 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 2: time inconsistent, period inconsistent, because once you walk into each 432 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 2: of the lands at Disneyland, you don't see the other lands, 433 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 2: and it's very immersive. You're completely immersed in that period 434 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 2: of time. But main Street and the Castle, that's the discontinuity, 435 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 2: because you're standing in a Victorian late era Victorian American 436 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 2: downtown and you're looking down at a medieval castle off 437 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 2: in the distance, and it's that wondrous thing that draws 438 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 2: you through main Street into the main plaza, in which 439 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 2: you then decide which way you're going to go to 440 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 2: experience the rest of the park. That is the Wiener 441 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 2: at Disneyland. It is is it Sleeping Beauty's Castle at 442 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 2: Cinderella's Castle in Orlando and Sleeping Beauty's Castle out here? 443 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 2: But it's the castle there you go. Motivational architecture, How 444 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 2: does that apply to your home? Think about it? When 445 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 2: people walk in your front door, what do they see? 446 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 2: What are they experiencing when they first walk into the 447 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: entryway of your home. That's essentially what main Street is. 448 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 2: And where do you guide them next? In other words, 449 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 2: where do you toss the wiener next? For your home? 450 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: Visually is there anything else that bates them into like, oh, 451 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 2: I really want to move to this part of the 452 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 2: house now, I'm drawn into it because of this focal 453 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,959 Speaker 2: point that I see. And that's essentially what the wiener is. 454 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 2: It is architecturally a focal point that draws you further 455 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 2: into the experience. That's what the castle is at the 456 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 2: end of main Street. And what is it in your home? Well, 457 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 2: that's for you and I to think through, right, All right, hey, 458 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 2: lo and behold some calls on the board. When we 459 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 2: come back, we'll go back to the phones your home 460 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 2: with Dean Sharp, the house whisper.

That's what 465 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 2: we specialize in around here, taking your ordinary home and 466 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 2: making it truly extraordinary.

Let's talk to Laura. Hey, Laura, 469 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 2: welcome home. 470 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 8: Hi. My question is how do I select a duck 471 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 8: guy to clean my air? Ducks. That's legitimate. 472 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 2: That's a good question, Easier said than done. Why do 473 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 2: you want to clean your ducks. 474 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 8: We did a lot of construction, and unfortunately we didn't 475 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 8: block up those air vents, and I just have a 476 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 8: feeling that there's a lot of gunk in there before 477 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 8: we start the system. 478 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea. It's not a bad idea. 479 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 2: I'm not really product cleaning generally speaking. There are businesses 480 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 2: out there that's all they do, and they try and 481 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 2: push the idea that if you don't have your DUTs 482 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 2: cleaned every few years, then you're facing really, you know, 483 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 2: severe health problems. But here's my opinion on that, and 484 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 2: the opinion of every qualified HVAC contractor I've ever talked to. 485 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: They're like, you know what, no, no, no, no. If 486 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 2: you've had major construction and the ducks weren't blocked up, 487 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 2: so you've got dust inside them, that's a legitimate need. 488 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 2: If there's been a big, you know, intrusion, like you've 489 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 2: had ducks ripped open in the attic, that's a legitimate 490 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 2: reason to have the ducks cleaned. If you've had a 491 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 2: major leak or something like that and you've got water 492 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 2: in the ducks. Of course, that's a good reason too. 493 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 2: Apart from that, generally speaking, nah, no, no real need 494 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 2: for duck cleaning in this reporter's opinion, so yours is 495 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 2: a legitimate need to kind of blow them out all 496 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: of the services Laura out there. I mean, they'll do 497 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 2: a decent job. When I talk about the difffficulties of 498 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 2: finding a legitimate duct cleaning company, I'm not really talking 499 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 2: about the work that they do. I mean they're going 500 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 2: to come in with the duct brushes and blow it 501 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 2: all out and clean it all out. I just talk 502 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 2: about the fact that I think most of those businesses 503 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 2: run on a false premise that they push to the public. 504 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,479 Speaker 2: So you could get any of them to actually do it, 505 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 2: because they're not trying to sell you on it. At 506 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 2: this point, you already know it needs to be done, 507 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 2: so I would just shop it out and get best price. 508 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 2: But if you want the truly most legitimate duct cleaning, 509 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 2: then I always tell people talk to your HVAC contractor 510 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 2: call an actual heating and air conditioning contractor. And the 511 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 2: reason why when you're getting a legitimate opinion about duck 512 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 2: cleaning that you call them is that their business is 513 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 2: not dependent on your ducks getting clean. They make their 514 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 2: money actually building and installing and maintaining air conditioning systems, 515 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 2: not cleaning ducts. They will c ducks, most of them 516 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 2: will clean ducks, but they aren't dependent upon that. So 517 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 2: they're not going to sell you a bill of goods 518 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 2: trying to tell you that something is necessary that isn't necessary. 519 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 2: So yeah, I rely on the opinions and the service 520 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 2: of the actual HVAC contractors and not the specialized duck 521 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 2: cleaning services. Other people will disagree with that. You're entitled to. 522 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 2: This is my program, and so I'm giving you the 523 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 2: best advice I know how, and that is simply talk 524 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 2: to your heating and air conditioning company.
