1 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: All right, welcome to the Weekend at Home with Gary Selvin. Say, 2 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: I was brought to you by Roto Ruter and Rotor 3 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: Ruter is you're plumbing and water cleanup. And I'll bet 4 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: you they were busy yesterday. They fixed clogged rains, leaky faucets, 5 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: running toilets, water heaters, garbage disposals, some pumps, water softeners, 6 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: pretty much anything has to do with plumbing. You can 7 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: make an appointment online or you can give them a 8 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: call at eight under get roto rotrouter dot com. We 9 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: thank them for their sponsorship and we open up the 10 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: phone lines to you if you've got a question regarding 11 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: your home. It is eight hundred eight two three eight 12 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: two five five. When the person was talking about maintenance 13 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: on drains, you don't want to talk about the enzyme cleaner, 14 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: and then talked about the vinegar and baking. So those 15 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: are all good, reliable kind of minimize the gunk, you 16 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: know in the vanity drain. The only surefire away I 17 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: feel to get rid of those things is snake it 18 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: or remove the clock. Sometimes easier said than done, but 19 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: certainly maintenance helps minimize clocks. And then when you think 20 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: about it, think about the other drains, outdoor drains, and 21 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: where I live the last week we had a lot 22 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: of rain, and did you happen to just walk out 23 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: and just check the outdoor dreams? Talking to drain pipes, 24 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: I'm talking the underground French drain. Maybe that carries the 25 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 1: water away from the swale between two houses and empties 26 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: it out in the front or in the back of 27 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: the house. You may not even have one. You may 28 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: have one if you have a sump pump. How about 29 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: that discharge drain last spring after a winter, was out 30 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: there and was just checking outdoor dreams and we had 31 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: a little bit of a drought before we had the 32 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: winter last year, and we have a lot of clay soil, 33 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: and sure enough it didn't line up. So here's what happens. 34 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you got to catch those things. 35 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: And I'm telling myself that you got to catch those things, 36 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: and maybe it just happened. I don't know, but you know, 37 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: if you don't catch those things, that some pump is collecting. 38 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: The water's being funneled into that pit inside your home. 39 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: The pump is activated, it's pumping the water to the 40 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: outside of the house through a one inch PVC pipe 41 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: or two inch or whatever, and then into a four 42 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: inch underground pipe and taking it away from the foundation. 43 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: If it's not lined up, You're right, it's exactly what happens. 44 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: The water just gets pumped right next to the pipe. 45 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: It's not carrying it away from the house. Then it 46 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: kind of fills up some pump faster and it does 47 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: it again, and it does it again, and it does 48 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: it again, and you're going nowhere and eventually, you know, 49 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: wear and tear on the pump, water on the foundation 50 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: not going to have a good ending. So we're always focused. 51 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: It seems like garbage disposal, vanity drain. We never talked 52 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: about the drains on the outside of the house. So 53 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: if you get a chance, just take a look. As 54 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: I always say, I don't you know, I have people 55 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: say I don't know what I'm looking for. Well, if 56 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't look right, it's a good chance it's not. 57 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: And trust me on this one. It didn't look right 58 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: because the pipe wasn't going into the pipe it was 59 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: supposed to go Ansel Welcome, Hi Gary, Hello, Hi, Yes, sir, Hi. 60 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: Having problems with dust in my house. I've had the 61 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: events all cleaned out. I've went to a more of 62 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: a paper furnace filter and i just can't give rid 63 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: of this dust and I'm looking to maybe get him 64 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: to add onto the furnace or something to you know, 65 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 2: have given this dut. 66 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: Do you have any idea? I mean, were you doing 67 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: any construction or where is this any idea? 68 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: No? Okay, no, no, that just been like that forever 69 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: for the longest time. That's one of the reasons we 70 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: went had the events trained out, which kind of maybe 71 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: you know, get some of the some of the dust 72 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: out of there. 73 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: Okay, Now they did more than the events. They did 74 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: the whole pipe system. The duck worked. Okay, yes, yes, 75 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: And I'm going to ask you a weird question. Did 76 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: they really clean it out? I mean, well, I know 77 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: that's a weird question, but I've just seen some weird 78 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: stuff with duck cleaning. I've talked about this before. It's 79 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: not the first time I've ever talked about it. And 80 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm a trustworthy person. I'm assuming they clean the pipes, 81 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: but you know, sometimes that doesn't always happen. 82 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: Well, I mean I was here when they did it, 83 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: and actually all they did was was pretty much like 84 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 2: blow air through and vacuum. They didn't run anything through 85 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: the lines or anything, so I kind of thought that 86 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,239 Speaker 2: at the initially it wasn't done very well. 87 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Usually when there is a you know, 88 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 1: when you're dusting your home two and three times a 89 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: week and there's always a film on the coffee table 90 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: or something, I would say, most of the time, it's 91 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: just dirty ductwork. Now, okay, we'll leave that off to 92 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: the side and I'll talk about some other things. It 93 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:42,239 Speaker 1: could be. So one of the things holds a house. Okay, 94 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: so it's not real. So what type of insulation do 95 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: you have in the addict? 96 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: You know, uh, just a blown in I really haven't. 97 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: Been up there so much to keep keep this, keep 98 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: this in the back of your head. In the eighties 99 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: and in the nineties, one of the not primary types 100 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: of insulation, but a popular installation with cellulose paper, and 101 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: paper settles and paper disintegrates and some and if you 102 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: happen to have air duck lines in an attic, some do, 103 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: some don't, and you don't necessarily need that, but if 104 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: you did, and those joints aren't real tight, it'll suck 105 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: up that paper and it'll be kind enough to distribute 106 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: it all over your house all the time. If there 107 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: is no duck work in there, it can drop and 108 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: start finding its way out of the attic through can 109 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: lights and a ceiling and just places like that. So 110 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: keep that in mind and even take a look at 111 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: the duckwork down in your basement. Just make sure the 112 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: seams are tight, or maybe put some aluminum tape around 113 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: all the seams. Kind of look for some openings, some joints, 114 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: some holes. You might be surprised what you see. 115 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. I can only see a little bit of those 116 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 2: duck works because the base and it's finished. Oh okay, 117 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 2: I'll get you much. Yeah, what I have seen though, 118 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 2: it looks like appears to have been taped up. 119 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: Pretty pretty good, pretty good good. When was when when 120 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: did you have the duck work clean? Lass? I mean 121 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: when you said, yeah, I've been a couple of years ago. Okay, 122 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: do you did they cleaned the improvement? Yeah? Did they 123 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: clean the cold air return? Also? 124 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 2: Uh? No? 125 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: Okay, that's probably as important or more important than the 126 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: other duck work, And they always not always, but there's 127 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: some companies that are going out there, I clean your 128 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 1: ducks for ninety nine dollars, and they come out you 129 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: want the cold air returns. No, No, that's cold air 130 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: return that you know what a lot of people do, 131 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: or they'll charge you more. Cold air returns are important 132 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: because that's bringing the air from the house back down 133 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: to the furnace. Right, Okay, so you know you might 134 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: think about having nose clean and also having those other 135 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: duckwork just inspected. They can run a camera down there, 136 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: a good duck working company can. Yeah, I mean they 137 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: can put a camera and they can show you the 138 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: inside of that duck work and they should do it 139 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: after that. 140 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy showed up at a van. Yeah, you know, 141 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 2: didn't have didn't have big equipment, So I probably just 142 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 2: got the wrong person. 143 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I think that could. And really 144 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: the filtering is going to help you a little, but 145 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: it's not going to help you you know. Okay, if 146 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: it's an overrating, do you find your filters dirty all 147 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: the time? 148 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 2: Well, if I've changed over to the was it eight 149 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 2: MERV I guess or yeah, whatever it is, it's it's 150 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: more of an april filter versus that screeny stuff, right, 151 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 2: and yeah, I man a don a month, it's it's 152 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: pretty dark. 153 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and a pleated filter like AMRV rated eight filter 154 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: should last you three months and if it's filling up 155 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: in a month, yeah, that's that's kind of telling me 156 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: that a lot of the cold air returns and duckwork 157 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: is dirty. 158 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right. 159 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: I'd probably get somebody out there and look at it. 160 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, ok I will.

You got to share. 247 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 4: I'm sharing. Here's what you do. Once you get a 248 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 4: little bit of deep trio needs to be cleaned up. Okay, 249 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 4: you to go to any go to home depot. They 250 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 4: made two kinds of masking tape. They make that blue 251 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 4: stuff you want to use that, do not use the 252 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 4: blue coughting date. They make really thin version of masking tape. 253 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 4: You buy the thinness stuff you can find. You tape 254 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 4: it off. Now, that takes a little while, but I 255 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 4: had I had good experience doing that. Building milk tankers. 256 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 4: We used to have to do a lot of cocking. Okay, 257 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 4: building milk tankers, brand new ones, right, because I was 258 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 4: a well learned fabricator. So anyway, the what you do 259 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 4: is you tape it off and then you get your cocking. 260 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 4: You you know, you run your cocking line and all 261 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 4: that business, and you get your precious thumb.

But here's the secret. 266 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 4: Please remember this. The minute, the minute you get that 267 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 4: section dog cock in, you pull the tape immediately. You 268 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:28,959 Speaker 4: don't let the cocking go off.

I have a 332 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 5: porcelain enameled cast iron sink that could use replacement. But 333 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 5: I also have granite countertops and every sink I have 334 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,719 Speaker 5: found does not fit, and they've told me they need 335 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 5: to cut my countertops, which I don't want to do that. 336 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 5: So I've looked into this company that says they can 337 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 5: paint the enamel sinks, and that that's supposed that I'm 338 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 5: a little concerned about that. Not sure that's the right 339 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 5: way to go. 340 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: You know, depending what company that is. Painting enamel sinks 341 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: is a challenge. I mean, there's do it yourself products. 342 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: Quite honestly, I hesitate to recommend they're a POxy or 343 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: a hyacrylic resince. And the problem is it needs a 344 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: it really needs a really really really really good primer 345 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: and most of those particular products and the do it 346 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: yourself for is probably not going to apply that properly. 347 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: You're going to try and get it done faster, and 348 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: they're difficult. 349 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm definitely not going to do it. 350 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: So there's also that also falls into category. Some of 351 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: the people that do rubs, sinks, countertops, tile in a bathroom, 352 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: some are really good and some are you know, Okay, 353 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: the one that I have used and the one I've 354 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: probably recommended for ten years is a franchise. It's out 355 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: of Denver, and it is it's really good. It's called 356 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: Miracle Method. And I'm not one to sit and you know, 357 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: here's the bad ones, here's the good ones. Because I 358 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: don't know, I've had experience with that one. I've had 359 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: two tubs done, and I've had a counter top done, 360 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: and I had a couple of sink bowls done that 361 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: was probably eight to ten years ago, and they did 362 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: a really good job. It wasn't porcelain, but the tubs were. 363 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 5: So you know, this company that I reached out to, 364 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 5: they told me it's a lifetime warranty. Honestly, I don't 365 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 5: My husband's been helping out with it, so I'm not 366 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 5: even sure the name of the company. But and I 367 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 5: have to get a specific brand of paint, and it's 368 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 5: a two day like a two day. 369 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: Process, right that makes sense? Okay, So who gets the paint? 370 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: Do they have the. 371 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 5: Paint they're getting? Yes, they're getting the paint, but it 372 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 5: had to be I had to select a color from 373 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 5: a specific brand. 374 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: Yep, you know what i'd do. Since I don't know 375 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: who that company is, Emily, I would really you know, 376 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: I can vouch for the one company. Why don't you 377 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: get quotes on both of them, but I can tell 378 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: you the one I'm talking about. This process is very 379 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: very very much the same, Okay, So it would be 380 00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: interesting though, just to get to quote. You might even 381 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: learn something that you can share with me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 382 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: so yeah, it's a usually Thank goodness, the dawn of 383 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: a really heavy duty acrylic resins. I think the one 384 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: they used on mine. Again, I said it was about 385 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: eight ten years ago. I think it was a solvent 386 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,719 Speaker 1: based so it smelled. There was an odor to it. 387 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 1: I don't know if they even use acrylics, and they 388 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: may still use that same method. I don't know, but 389 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: dargan and it sure held up good. And the guy 390 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: was telling me at that point, you know, they had 391 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: this one proprietary primer that was really their claim to fame. 392 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: You know, the appealing just really wasn't an issue. But 393 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, for a project like that, I think i'd 394 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: get two quotes on just you know, see how each 395 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: company responds to get into you, how reliable they are, 396 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 1: what you learn and what the price is, and you 397 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: can make a decision from there. It's a great warranty. 398 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 5: I just worry about they're dropping a knife and the 399 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 5: sink and having a having a ding. But I guess 400 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 5: you know what point it's not supposed to do that, right. 401 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, don't do that. That's my favorite line. But don't 402 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: do that, quite honestly, though, if you have a cast 403 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: iron porcelain sink and you drop a knife in it, 404 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: you run the risk of chipping it too, right, so right, yeah, 405 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: don't do that. 406 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 5: Okay, but this is a thing, so I will follow 407 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 5: through and see what other Yeah, I think. 408 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: That's again quote, and I think that's a great option 409 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: the two quotes, and also a great option of keeping 410 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: what you have. 411 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, well, thanks for your help. 412 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: All right, you're quite welcome. Thank you, bye bye. All right, 413 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: and you got the phone number, grab a line. We're 414 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 1: talking about your home and Kevin welcome. 415 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Garry. Question about a have a speed Queen 416 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 6: washing machine, probably about twelve years old and run on 417 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 6: a well water system. So the hot water for warm 418 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 6: setting runs just fine. But anytime you try to run 419 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 6: on cold water or gets the rent cycle, which is 420 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 6: obviously drawn in the cold, it's the water is barely 421 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 6: spitting out of the machine. Is it as simple as 422 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 6: you think a hose issue or somewhere in the mechanism 423 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 6: of the washing machine. Obviously, I'm guessing there's a blockage 424 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 6: with you know, as experience build up on my other 425 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 6: faucets in the house with well water system. 426 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: Well, that's a million dollar questions. So we've got to 427 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: do a little, you know, just discount what we can before. 428 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: And you know, if we've checked the hose and we 429 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: check the aer rator and we check the valve, then 430 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: you're going to know it's in the machine. And at 431 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: that point I'll probably you know, be over my pay category. 432 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: But I think what I would do Kevin first is 433 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: just disconnect the cold hose and let's open up that valve. 434 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: Have a bucket obviously, open up that valve, and let's 435 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: see what kind of volume we're getting and what kind 436 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: of pressure we're getting. That would be step one. If 437 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: we're getting decent pressure and volume out of that, I 438 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: would look inside that hose, and there's probably a washer 439 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: with a filter in it, and a lot of times 440 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: those filters just get clogged up. And then it could 441 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: be as simple as just pulling out that washer with 442 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: that screen. If it looks clean, I would work my 443 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: way down the hose. I would check the other side 444 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: of the hose, see if it has a screen, and 445 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: a washer probably does. Check that. After everything looks good, 446 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: you know, we'd get a bucket again, take that hose, 447 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: put it right in, turn it on, and see if 448 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: we're getting volume out of that hose, and if we're not, 449 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: my guess is you are going to get volume out 450 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,719 Speaker 1: of that hose because you've checked everything from the valve 451 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: through the hose. In fact, you can check that first 452 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: if you want and work it in reverse, but once 453 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: it gets inside the appliance, I'm not real sure. 454 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 2: Sure that sounds great. 455 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't realize that there's a hose, there's an 456 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 6: actual screen, and I would probably bet money that that 457 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 6: is clawed, because I've experienced that with some other thought. 458 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 6: That's where I take off the fitting on the end 459 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 6: and then there's a screen in there and that's clogged, 460 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 6: and got to clean that out to get the water though, 461 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 6: sure more freely. 462 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: Again, yeah, I agree, especially with well water, that is 463 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: a prime culprit. 464 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, joys of well water. 465 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: Yep, very good. Get that try, good luck. 466 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 6: Thank you so much. 467 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: All right, you're quite welcome. Take care. One other thing 468 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: another caveat to add to that too, is you know, 469 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: one of the things that's often ignored in our homes 470 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 1: wash machine hoses. And boy, if you've got a wash 471 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: machine up on the first floor or even on the 472 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: top floor, that's a hose you don't want to break. Now. 473 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: A lot of them are stainless steel. They're all called burstproof. 474 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: They're gonna last you a lot longer than just the 475 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: old plane rubber hose. But I'll tell you what, it 476 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: certainly pays to give it at a good lookover, and 477 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: a rubber hose really should be replaced about every three 478 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: to four years. Like I said, a burstproof you probably 479 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: get ten years worth of life out, but periodically check 480 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: and always think maintenance.

Thank you. 530 00:34:59,400 --> 00:34:59,760 Speaker 4: Thanks. 531 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 7: I wanted to once and for all solve this problem 532 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 7: about garbage disposals with septic systems. Okay, to me, it 533 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 7: seems like a good idea because you're grinding up that 534 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 7: food or you know whatever's in there, and and it's 535 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 7: going into the septic tank in a more liquefied, already 536 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 7: pre digested state, you know where, which is the same 537 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,839 Speaker 7: thing you do with the city. The stuff still goes 538 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 7: down the drain and ends up ultimately in a sewer 539 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 7: sewer plant. So I've always thought that a garbage disposal 540 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 7: should be good for septic tanks, but but I keep 541 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 7: hearing the opposite. What do you think, Well. 542 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 1: I think the first thing you got to do is 543 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: you got to get the right type of disposal. A 544 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: lot of people don't realize there are I don't know 545 00:35:54,440 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: how you would talk about them, maybe extra high grind 546 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: septic or high grind disposals versus a standards disposal. So 547 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: what you're really looking for, I think you're fine as 548 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: long as you get the septic safe biocharge models. And 549 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: that's the key. I mean, it just makes it even 550 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: a finer grind if you will, So that would be 551 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,399 Speaker 1: my advice on it. I think you're fine as long 552 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: as you have the right disposal. I don't think I 553 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: would use and there are they don't say there, you 554 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: know what, I don't even know if the other ones 555 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: say not for use with septic tanks. I don't know 556 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: the answer to that, you know, whether it says it 557 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: on the box. But I do know there are specific 558 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,280 Speaker 1: disposals for septic systems. 559 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 7: Okay, I didn't realize that. It just seemed to me 560 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 7: that grinding it is better than having a full piece. 561 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: Of you, no question, no question about that, no question 562 00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 1: about that. 563 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, I have to check because I didn't realize they 564 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 7: actually had ones that are made for septic tanks or 565 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 7: we're ones that are that satan that don't don't use 566 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 7: for septic tanks. 567 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I know Syncarrator, I know they definitely make one. 568 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,240 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think what the name of eco something 569 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 1: or But go to the Syncarator scept Or Disposal Systems 570 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,240 Speaker 1: and I'm sure you'll find the high ground septic safe 571 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: biocharge model. 572 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 7: Okay, great, I'll look into it that way, and so 573 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 7: you see what I can find. 574 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, a little higher horse power they have on that 575 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: particular one too. So that's what I do. Well, I 576 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,359 Speaker 1: think you'll be. 577 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,280 Speaker 7: Fine then okay, great, thanks Gary, all right. 578 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 1: You bet, thank you, take care bye bye. And of 579 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: course we always and you know, decept or, I keep 580 00:37:54,680 --> 00:38:00,479 Speaker 1: calling the disposal of the septic system the disposal. Think 581 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,720 Speaker 1: about and we preached about this two weeks going into 582 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: the holiday. We talked about not over using it, not 583 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: abusing it, be mindful what you're putting in there. And 584 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: there may be some people right now that are listening 585 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,800 Speaker 1: that didn't hear those shows and had a problem a 586 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 1: couple of days ago. Because disposals are really used to 587 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: rinse plates. It's not really designed to peel twenty potatoes 588 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: and put the potato skins down on disposal or cram 589 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: rice and beans and celery fibrous materials. That's not what 590 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 1: it's designed. It's not designed for that. It's designed to 591 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: clean the plates off period. In fact, at our house, 592 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: what we'll do is we will literally, you know, scrape 593 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 1: the food to the trash can and then rinse the 594 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,399 Speaker 1: plate and the disposer sink. We have a small sink 595 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: with the disposal. That's the way it's really supposed to 596 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: be used with a septic system. You're right, you don't 597 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,759 Speaker 1: want to put the more you can grind, it's better 598 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: off you are. I mean, in a way, you could 599 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: look at that for anything from a standpoint of just 600 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:30,800 Speaker 1: having a better flow, a higher horsepower, a more efficient grind. 601 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: That's why when old, when disposals get old, you can 602 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,439 Speaker 1: kind of hear they're old. You can kind of hear 603 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: they're laboring a little bit when they're using them or 604 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: when you're using them. And that's the time you got 605 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 1: to think about replacing them. Because there's plates that are 606 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: just grinding things up. It's a challenge. So especially you know, 607 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: again if you have a septic system, that's even a 608 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: better idea to have that a high grind and a 609 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: more efficient disposal. All right, have you noticed, I mean 610 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: the temperature has I look at the weather map right now, 611 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: a lot of cold temperatures, a lot of snow and 612 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: stuff like that. And that means the furnace is running. 613 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: When the furnace is running in your home, the air 614 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 1: is going to be dryer. I think you probably have 615 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: figured that out. But how dry? And we talk about 616 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: this a lot because it means so much when it 617 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,399 Speaker 1: comes to the maintenance of their home. Just like when 618 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: we're talking outside, we always talk about, you know, when 619 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: the drought and checking your pipes lining up. I know 620 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 1: it sounds silly, but that's or even the soft's pulling apart. 621 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: You got the house is moving and expanding and contracting 622 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 1: all the time. That's why we use calwking right, is 623 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 1: to fill up some of those areas keeping a weather tight. 624 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: But inside our homes it's drying out now. The furnace 625 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 1: is dry warm air. Remember in the summertime, I said, ah, 626 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 1: make sure that that fan you know, on the furnace, 627 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 1: make sure that in the summertime it's on auto. It 628 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: just turns on when air conditionings on. In wintertime, I say, 629 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 1: go ahead and move that air if you want it, 630 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:27,760 Speaker 1: you know, more balanced temperature. And if you have a humidifier, 631 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 1: it can be throwing moisture into the air. Because your 632 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: humidity level in your home, and it doesn't have to 633 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:41,240 Speaker 1: be exactly this, but ideally, when it's thirty two degrees outside, 634 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 1: your indoor humidity should be thirty five percent. I ain't 635 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 1: checked mine this morning, but my nose told me it 636 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: was drier than it should be. This morning, which I 637 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:59,839 Speaker 1: put on my list, check humidifier and if you haven't 638 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: the fire on the furnace, did you change did you 639 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,320 Speaker 1: turn the water on? Yes? I did. Did you flip 640 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: the damper to winter? Yes I did, good man, I did. 641 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: But it's dry. It feels dry, and I'm gonna check 642 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,919 Speaker 1: and see exactly where my home humidity is. Maybe it's 643 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: just me, but you know, when it starts getting cold 644 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: out at furnace starts running more, it's naturally going to 645 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: become dry in your home. And entertainment's always dry. And 646 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,399 Speaker 1: then back in the day when our homes were even 647 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,320 Speaker 1: not very weather stripped and h you know, you put 648 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 1: a teapot on top of a wood stove and introduce moisture. 649 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: Wood burning makes it even more dry. And we factor 650 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 1: all those things in. But you know, from a standpoint 651 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 1: of comfort, and you can do this on an experiment 652 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,919 Speaker 1: yourself in the winter time. You know, if you're around 653 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,320 Speaker 1: thirty five forty percent and you got your thermostat sets 654 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 1: sixty eight, it's it's fairly comfortable. And I know we 655 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: all said our temperature differently, but in our house, that's 656 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 1: that's pretty that's pretty comfortable. That's where we kind of 657 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: like it. But if all of a sudden, you wake 658 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: up and your home humidity is twenty five percent or less, 659 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: that's sixty eight feels a lot colder, and we either 660 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 1: got to raise that humidity, or we raise the thermostat, 661 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,240 Speaker 1: or we're going to be uncomfortable either any of the above. 662 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: But you need action, all right.
