Hey, 11 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: One tiny, tiny, little, tiny little correction from our last caller. 12 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 2: I kept saying the word, you know, an alternative to 13 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: an air gap that I actually find quite attractive is 14 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 2: I was referring to it as a Johnson valve. I 15 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: don't know why I was saying valve. It's a Johnson 16 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: T Johnson T t ee Johnson T. Just nudged and 17 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 2: corrected by that something was not feeling right and it 18 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 2: had to think and like, did I say valve? I said, valve? 19 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: It's not a valve, it's a t It's basically an 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: air gap for your dishwasher that mounts and opens to 21 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: the outside of the house. If you're if your kitchen, 22 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: sink and dishwasher happened to be on an exterior wall, 23 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 2: which so many are mounts to the outside of the house, 24 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: instead of that weird, funky air gap sitting up on 25 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: your countertop next to your faucet. So there you go. 26 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 2: Is a Johnson t better than a high loop? Yes, 27 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 2: it is, because it's actually a real air gap. Is 28 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: it approved in California no other states? 29 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 3: Yes? 30 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: So you know, do with that what you may. That's 31 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: all I'm saying. Okay, is it possible. Is there a 32 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 2: chance that I'm I have one installed for my dishwasher 33 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: because I didn't want an air gap up on the 34 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: top of the countertop. It's possible, That's all I'm saying. Okay, 35 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 2: let's move on. I want to go to the phones. 36 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 2: Let's talk to Ray. Hey, Ray, welcome home. 37 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 4: Hi. 38 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 3: Can you hear me? 39 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: I can? 40 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 3: Okay. My house was made in eighty six. I just 41 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,119 Speaker 3: had my air conditioner replace. It's on the ceiling over 42 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 3: one of my bedrooms, and I noticed that I have 43 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 3: a stain on my ceiling. And when I look outside 44 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 3: of where the bedroom window is, there's a line. It's 45 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 3: the condensation line that runs across my attic goes down 46 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: the wall and it comes out where my planner is. Yep. 47 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 3: So when I trace it back to where the stain is, 48 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: I'm thinking that conversation is plugged up and it's leaking 49 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 3: on my ceiling. Yeah, is there any way to fix that? 50 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: Always there's always a way to fix it, And and 51 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: there's a good chance that that might be the case 52 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: condensate drains. By the way, everybody are like, what is 53 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 2: this thing he speaks of? Every air conditioner is also 54 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 2: a dehumidifier and not designed as such. Actually, originally air 55 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: conditioners were designed to dehumidify. That was their purpose, not 56 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 2: to actually make the air colder, but to pull moisture 57 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: out of the air in factories so that things worked better. 58 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: But nevertheless, you know, we we buy air conditioners to 59 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: make the air colder. We don't most of the time 60 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: realize that it's also making the air dryer so as 61 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: moist air. Just like on the outside of your you know, 62 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: your glass of you know, your iced tea. You know, 63 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: water accumulates on the outside of the glass. Where did 64 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: that water come from? Is the glass leaking? It's not, 65 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: It's the coldness of the surface of that glass that 66 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: has air moisture in the air around it, which is 67 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 2: not as cold, all of a sudden condensates on the 68 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: outside of that glass. Now, if you have that glass 69 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: sitting on a table and the condensation is happening, then 70 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 2: you pick up your cup and there's a ring of 71 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: water sitting there on the table that it is left behind. 72 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 2: That's the easiest way for me to explain what happens 73 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 2: with an air conditioner. The air conditioner coil is very, 74 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 2: very cold, and when the air from our home with 75 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 2: has plenty of water vapor in it hits those coils, 76 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: then water accumulates, just like on the outside of your 77 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: iced tea glass, and that water, because of gravity, you know, 78 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: drains down. So every air conditioner has to have a 79 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 2: means of getting that water away from the coil and 80 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: out of your house. So there's a pan that's built 81 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 2: in to every air conditioner coil sitting underneath it. That 82 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 2: pan is the condensate pan, and out of that pan 83 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: is simply a very usually PVC pipe is a small 84 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: drain pipe that moves out and finds its way down 85 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: and outside your house. Now, most air conditioners have two 86 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 2: of these, Okay, two of them because we have the 87 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: primary which is at the bottom of the pan that's 88 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 2: just always taken all the water, and then there's a 89 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 2: secondary condensate drain which is higher up in the pan, 90 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: and the secondary condensate drain we actually, you know, the 91 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: primary we some guys just run it into plumbing lines. 92 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 2: Most of the time it runs out into a planter 93 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: bed outside the house somewhere where it sits there and 94 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 2: drips as the as the air conditioner runs somewhere where 95 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: you can't see it. The secondary condensate drain is just 96 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: a lesson in condensate drain ray, so forgive me. But 97 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: the secondary condensate drain we like to run up over 98 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: a window. If anybody's ever wondered, what's that little PVC 99 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 2: pipe coming up over my window? Nothing ever comes out 100 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: of it. That's a good thing because the only time 101 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: water comes out of the secondary drain, and we want 102 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 2: to see that when it's happening, which is why we 103 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: would put it over a window so we would notice 104 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 2: water dripping. The only time that happens is when the 105 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 2: primary for some reason is clogged and now the secondary 106 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: drain higher up is draining out and we need to 107 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 2: give it our attention. Okay, that's the general lesson in 108 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 2: condensate drains. Not every air conditioner, especially smaller ones, have 109 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 2: a secondary drain, but every true refrigerant based air conditioner, 110 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 2: even portable ones, have condensate drains. Now, when they get clogged, 111 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 2: the problem is that that pan will eventually fill up 112 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: and start to overflow and cause water damage to whatever 113 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 2: is underneath it. It's not like a broken pipe, but 114 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: it's like a pot that has got too much water 115 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 2: in it and now it's just brimming over the side. Okay, 116 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: So a couple of ways. One number one, you turn 117 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 2: off the AC and and you it'll stop condensating, so 118 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 2: you'll you'll stop the leak quote unquote, you'll stop the 119 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: water dripping at that point. Condensate drains, like I said, 120 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 2: are they're very circuitous. They they can run for lots 121 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 2: and lots and lots of feet. They run all the 122 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 2: way across an attic and down a wall and so, 123 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: and they're small, so they're not easy to just snake out. Okay, 124 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 2: most but here's the good news, ray, Most AC professionals 125 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 2: don't use like a snake or anything up in there 126 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: to clear the clog. Most of them use air pressure. 127 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: And the nice thing is that you can buy these 128 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 2: kits and they're not very expensive at all, and you know, 129 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: to fix a problem there about thirty forty bucks. What 130 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: it is is a small cartridge, air pressure gun and 131 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 2: a hose and you would put it on the outside 132 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: drain and you would put a gas cartridge inside this thing. 133 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: This all comes in the kit and basically you're running 134 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: pressurized air. Now, if you have an air compressor or 135 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: something like that, you could do that too. What you 136 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 2: want to do is you're just you're just blowing out 137 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: the line with air pressure and whatever little clog whatever, 138 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: you know, whether it's a piece of insulation, whether it's 139 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: just dust, whether whatever the case is, you can blow 140 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 2: the line out and nine times out of ten that 141 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: resolves it. There's also some fluid that can be placed 142 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 2: in that line that helps dissolve stuff and gunk that's 143 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 2: built up. You can just find this stuff online. What 144 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: was that? 145 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 3: What could be making that stain in the ceiling. 146 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 2: That's the water. 147 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 3: I trace the line that comes out and I trace 148 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 3: it back up to where the air conditioner is and 149 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 3: it's right where the stain is. 150 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the pan the pan. You know, first the 151 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 2: water comes down into a collection pan and then it 152 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 2: goes out the drain. So the pan is full and 153 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 2: it's overflowing, and that's what's making the stain and ceiling. Okay, 154 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 2: so clear the clear the drain line, and the pan 155 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: will drain and it won't fill up again. That's the key. Okay, 156 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: you understand what I'm saying. So the bathtub, the bathtub. 157 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 2: Basically the drain is clogged, the bathtub is overflowing. That's 158 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 2: essentially what we're talking about there. 159 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 3: Okay, So about. 160 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 2: So you can call an HVAC guy. He'll come out 161 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: and do it for you. But for about forty bucks 162 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 2: you can, I think they sell these are the big 163 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 2: box stores too. You can run down to your probably 164 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 2: your low's er home depot, or you can order one 165 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 2: on Amazon. It'll be here tomorrow and you can blow 166 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 2: out that line and get the AC functioning again. 167 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: What are those kids called again? Uh? 168 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: They are called uh un you know, AC drain line 169 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 2: cleaners or unclogged kits, very technical terms.

How can I help you? 189 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 3: Okay? 190 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 5: I've got a gutter on the second story and every 191 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 5: time it rains, it's just the water's pouring down to 192 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 5: the first floor. I've talked to my regular handyman. He 193 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 5: doesn't want to touch it. Who do I call and 194 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 5: how can I do it as as possible? 195 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: Okay? No, is there is there some reason I need 196 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 2: to know about that your handyman doesn't want to touch 197 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: it other than the fact that it's it's two stories up. 198 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 5: I think it's just the safety issue. 199 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's what I thought. You know, here's the thing, 200 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 2: a second story gutter. Now, just so everybody knows, the 201 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 2: world is full of of of interesting tools and methodologies 202 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 2: for cleaning gutters. You can go if you went to 203 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: uh went online right now and looked up gutter cleaning 204 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 2: second story, you'd see everything from these bizarre extension tools 205 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: that strap onto your chest like a backpack to I 206 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: mean there's all sorts of things. I've even seen little 207 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 2: robots that run around inside your gutter and clean them. 208 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: But the second story, and if you've got a single 209 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: story house, then you know, maybe maybe you explore that. 210 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: Maybe you get a tool with a with kind of 211 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: a shepherd's hook on the top of it that is 212 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 2: an extension of a pressure washer, and you blow out 213 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 2: your gutters that way. Generally speaking, though, for a second 214 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 2: story home, I don't want anybody getting up on a 215 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 2: ladder up there. So I don't blame your handy person 216 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 2: for not wanting to do that I don't want you 217 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: up there on a ladder trying to deal with that stuff. 218 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 2: But there are pros that do that. And so if 219 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 2: it's a problem gutter, I would say, get some quotes, 220 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: but call around and have a gutter cleaning service, take 221 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 2: a look at it. I'll give you one one recommendation. 222 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 2: I'm not telling you that this is the my go 223 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 2: old seal of approval. It's just that this is a 224 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 2: company that covers a lot of area here in southern California, 225 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 2: and as a result, I've heard good things about rain 226 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 2: gutter Pros. Rain gutter Pros, but you should always, as 227 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 2: with all things, especially since you want to do it 228 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 2: as inexpensively and effectively as possible. You know, get two 229 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 2: or three estimates about cleaning out your gutters and then 230 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 2: you'll know, you know, round about what it should cost. 231 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: But if it's been a long time and that thing 232 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: is clogged up and it's leaking over the front, absolutely, Marianne, 233 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 2: especially right now, get it cleaned out. You know, bite 234 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 2: the bullet, cry you know, buy once, cry once, as 235 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 2: they say, and get it done. It's not that expensive 236 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: to get it done, and they'll they'll get it done fast. 237 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: I like a qualified gutter person up there doing it 238 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 2: as opposed to Joe homeowner, because I don't want them 239 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 2: to damage anything as we go along and cause bigger problems. 240 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 2: And Plus, if these guys find a problem with a 241 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 2: gutter like a nail, a facia nail that has gone 242 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: too loose, or a part of the gutter that's sagging, 243 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 2: they can address that while while they're up there dealing 244 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: with it, to basically tune them up. And the reason 245 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 2: I say right now everybody, why I'm encouraging Marianne. And 246 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 2: I said especially now. I don't know if you heard, 247 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 2: but just this week and I was talking to Conway 248 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 2: about it. He's not a big believer in weather prediction, 249 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 2: but I happen to you know, hold to science. I 250 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 2: know it's these days, especially with the climate shifting the 251 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: way that it is, it's not always the easiest thing 252 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 2: to predict the weather. But there are patterns that we 253 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 2: are aware of. And I want you to know that 254 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 2: we have officially entered into an El Nino year. This 255 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 2: year is an El Nino year. We've been in La 256 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 2: Nina for a couple of years now. Now we are 257 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 2: moving into another El Nino cycle. And weirdly enough, and 258 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: this is the stuff. You can take this with a 259 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: grain of salt, but I, you know, I tend to 260 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: take things like this seriously. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric 261 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 2: Climate and Prediction Center has said that there is a 262 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 2: real potential for the strongest El Nino event in one 263 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 2: hundred and forty years to occur this year. Now, does 264 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 2: that mean it's going to happen. Absolutely No, you know, 265 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: it's a prediction, but there is a over sixty two 266 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 2: percent chance in there thinking that that could be the case. 267 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 2: The point is it's going to be a very hot summer, 268 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 2: because that's what El Nino's do. They tend to go 269 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 2: to extremes. For us, the summer is going to be hot, 270 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: and this winter is going to be very wet. Last 271 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 2: al Ninho that we went through in twenty three twenty 272 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: four was caused somewhere in the area of five billion 273 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 2: dollars worth of homeowner damage in southern California, and the 274 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: vast majority of that damage happened in homes where the 275 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 2: homeowners did not take seriously the warning that it was 276 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: going to be a very very wet winter. And so 277 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 2: you'all have six months we got six months to get 278 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: ready for this in terms of water. But check your drains, 279 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 2: yard drainage, all of that kind of stuff, and your 280 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 2: gutters and your roof because by all measures, it's probably 281 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 2: going to be a very wet winter. So Marianna, a 282 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 2: very very timely question. 283 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 5: All right, thank you so much. 284 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 2: All right, my friend, you take care, good luck. Get 285 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 2: three quotes. That way, you know you know where the 286 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 2: price should really set. I'll talk a couple seconds about 287 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 2: the whole. Why does Dean always want us to take 288 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 2: three estimates in order to figure out the price. We'll 289 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 2: do that on the other side of the break Your 290 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 2: Home with Dean Sharp, the House Whisper. 291 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 292 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 1: kf I am six forty Dean. 293 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 2: Sharp's the house whisper.

Are you? 300 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 4: There was a dial tone right right when you said 301 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 4: the name, So I was just making sure I wasn't 302 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 4: talking to myself. All right, Hey, how you doing, Dean. 303 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 2: I'm great, I'm great. How can I help you out? 304 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 4: My question is, uh, I just bought this house about 305 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 4: a year and a half ago, and I'm already having 306 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 4: some problems. The one big one right now is that 307 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 4: when the air conditioner comes on and goes off, there's 308 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 4: a popping sound. And I'm wondering if you might have 309 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 4: an idea. 310 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 2: I do. I do have an idea. It's so it's 311 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 2: just when it comes on and when it goes off. 312 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 4: When it comes on, yeah, it'll it'll pop. I mean, 313 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 4: it's not as loud, but then when it goes off, 314 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 4: it's it's, you know, pretty loud. 315 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 2: Pretty loud, pretty loud. Okay, when was the last time 316 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 2: you cleaned the or it changed out the air filter 317 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 2: for the air conditioner. 318 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 4: I guess it's supposed to be done every six months, 319 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 4: so whatever that we about six months ago or there 320 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 4: about three actually three months ago okay. 321 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 2: Uh. So here here's the thing. There's a couple of 322 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 2: different reasons why you could be hearing that. And sometimes 323 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 2: our AC systems make some noises along the way and 324 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: they're not necessarily, you know, major concerns some of it. Well, 325 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 2: the reason that I don't think it is is thermal expansion. 326 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 2: Thermal expansion means like especially when you know, the the 327 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 2: attic is is warm on a hot day, and then 328 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 2: you start running cold air through the AC and there's 329 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 2: a part of your AC duct system that's metal. Okay. Now, 330 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 2: most of us have these flexible ducks that run from 331 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 2: the AC to the actual registers to the various rooms. 332 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 2: Those are flexible you know, wire flexed, vinyl lined, you know, 333 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 2: duct that can be moved all around, but that all 334 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 2: starts at the AC unit in a metal box that's 335 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,959 Speaker 2: called the plenum. The plenum is a sheet metal box 336 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 2: that all of the ducts connect to before, you know, 337 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 2: right at the AC unit, right next to what we 338 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 2: call the air handler, the fan and the coil. That 339 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 2: metal box is not heavy duty, you know, thick stand 340 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 2: on it kind of metal. It's actually just relatively thin 341 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 2: sheet metal. In fact, some of them are thin enough 342 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 2: that they the plenims come with a little crease that's 343 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: put in them to kind of reinforce the walls of 344 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 2: the of the plenum, you know, like we do sometimes 345 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 2: with sheet metal just to make it a little bit 346 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 2: more rigid. When the attic is really hot in the 347 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: summer and we start running cold air through it, sometimes 348 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,239 Speaker 2: that cold air has an effect on the metal and 349 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 2: it can shift or move what we call thermal expansion 350 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,479 Speaker 2: a little bit, and we can hear it pop a 351 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 2: little bit, or you know, crackle or you know, one 352 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 2: of those kind of settle in sounds. It's usually not 353 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 2: a big loud sound. It's just, you know, kind of 354 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 2: almost like the creaking on a ship at sea. And 355 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 2: the opposite can happen in the same thing can happen 356 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 2: in the winter when the attic is cold and now 357 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 2: we start to run hot air through it. The point 358 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: is the differential makes the metal change size a little bit, 359 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 2: and so as it adjusts, it pops. But that usually 360 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 2: happens during the process, like sometime after you've turned on 361 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 2: the AC or sometime after you've turned on the heater, 362 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 2: because it takes a while for the heat to build 363 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 2: up or the cold to build up to make the 364 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 2: thermal difference and make an expansion or contraction. The key 365 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 2: to what you're saying, in my thinking is that it 366 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 2: happens right when you turn it on. And right when 367 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 2: you turn it off. And that, my friend, is usually 368 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 2: in my experience, the sign of a airflow problem. In 369 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 2: other words, you know, once the fan turns on in 370 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 2: the unit, either to heat or cool and to push 371 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 2: the air, there's an air restriction and air pressure is 372 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 2: building up. And you can imagine that if the sheet 373 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 2: metals kind of sits in straight and then if it 374 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 2: has one of those creases on it, if air pressure 375 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 2: builds up in that plenum, then all of a sudden 376 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: it kind of blows up like a balloon a little bit, 377 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 2: and you hear that side of the plenum go poop 378 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 2: and pop. And then when you turn the unit off, 379 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 2: the air pressure decreases and it snaps back again. Okay, 380 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: now that may not be a serious problem. But that's 381 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 2: the reason I asked you about the air filter is 382 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,239 Speaker 2: that you know, quite often people have so neglected their 383 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 2: air filter, their air filters all clogged up. The unit 384 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 2: can't breathe, and so when the fan turns on, we 385 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 2: get all this pressure built up. If the air filter 386 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 2: is flowing properly, then you might want to have somebody 387 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 2: take a look and see if a adduct has been 388 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 2: crushed up there somehow, or if there for some reason 389 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 2: is another reason. What Sometimes in the when there's a 390 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 2: restriction of airflow, the coil can ice up and that 391 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 2: causes air flow problems. Or maybe you know you just 392 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 2: bought the house not that long ago, maybe somebody else, 393 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 2: the previous owner did not change out the air filters 394 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 2: often enough, and or maybe they ran it for a 395 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 2: while without an air fit. Maybe the coil itself the 396 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 2: radiator looking coil up there, Maybe it is actually got 397 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 2: build up on it of lint and dirt and so on, 398 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 2: and it's not breathing properly, so it causes an air 399 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 2: pressure problem because air isn't flowing freely through the unit. 400 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 2: That can all be resolved, but that at that point 401 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 2: is something that you should just call an HVAC service 402 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 2: guy out and just tell him, Hey, the unit is 403 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 2: popping when I turn it on, and then when it 404 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: goes off, it's popping again. So I talked to this 405 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 2: weirdo on the radio and he told me that chances 406 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 2: are it's an airflow and air air pressure problem. Then 407 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: they're gonna take a look at the filter, they're gonna 408 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 2: check the ducks to make sure they're clear, and most importantly, 409 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 2: they'll check the coil to see how dirty it is. 410 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: It can all be cleaned up relatively quickly, and then 411 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: you shouldn't be hearing that anymore. But I think that's 412 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 2: the giveaway, the fact that it's not happening while it runs. 413 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 2: It's just happening at the beginning when it turns on 414 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 2: and the end when it turns off. That seems to 415 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 2: me to be an air pressure thing, because when the 416 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 2: Universe turns on, the air blows up the unit and 417 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 2: boop pops out that whatever piece of sheet metal it 418 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 2: pushes against. And then when it turns off, the absence 419 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 2: of that airflow is causing it to snap back into place. 420 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 2: And that's what you're hearing. 421 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense. Okay, all right, thanks Dean, Appreciate it. 422 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 2: Appreciate you, Mike. Thanks for the call, buddy, great question. 423 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 2: I don't think we've had that one before, not that 424 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 2: I can remember, at least. 425 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 4: Love it. 426 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 2: Love taking your calls. Let's take a couple more when 427 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 2: we come back your home with Dean Sharp, the house 428 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 2: Whisper Dean Sharp aka the house Whisper. Hey, that's me 429 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 2: here to remind you your home deserves great design in fact, 430 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 2: it is the secret to opening up the pathway towards 431 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 2: taking it from an ordinary house and making it an 432 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 2: extraordinary home. And I'm here to help you find that 433 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 2: path every single week, and on Saturdays, it's all calls, 434 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 2: which means you get to set the agenda. So whether 435 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 2: we're talking about architectural or design questions, or whether you've 436 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 2: just got a home maintenance and repair question, or anything 437 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: in between. I got a contractor here living inside my head, 438 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 2: and I got an architect as well. So you know what, 439 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 2: Sometimes they don't get along, but most of the time 440 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 2: they agree and are ready to help you out. It's true. 441 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 2: Sometimes they don't. Sometimes they have opposite agendas. That's all 442 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 2: I'm saying. All right, let's go back to the phones. 443 00:25:53,720 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 2: Let's talk to Susie. Hey, Susie, welcome home, Susie. Are 444 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 2: you with me? We might have to give her a 445 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 2: second there, No, we don't have Susie. Oh okay, I'm 446 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 2: gonna pop her back on hold there, let's go to Oh, 447 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 2: let me, do we have Susie online? Hello Susie? Nope? Okay, 448 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 2: all right, all right, uh let me uh well, I 449 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 2: guess we were kind of running low on time. Anyway, 450 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 2: let me give you an idea of what's going on 451 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 2: tomorrow on the Big Show. Uh, spring is here, so 452 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 2: we're doing a lot of our spring you know, spring cleaning, 453 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 2: spring topics tomorrow. I love this topic. We're gonna be 454 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 2: talking about your pets and your pests, pets and pats, pets, 455 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 2: pests and pets. Yeah, well both of those and I'll 456 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 2: be bebopping back and forth between those two. Going to 457 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 2: have a lot of good content for you tomorrow on 458 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 2: the show. A lot. 459 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 3: You know. 460 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 2: So many homeowners have pets. Their animals are a part 461 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 2: of our lives, and they present certain challenges along the way. 462 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 2: They certainly do, and so the animals that we want 463 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 2: to live with and the animals that we don't want 464 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 2: to live with that will be the general topic for 465 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 2: tomorrow's show, and how to deal best with both of them, 466 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 2: everything from scratching the floors to fur on the sofa, 467 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 2: and what the best ideas for keeping a house with 468 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 2: a pet in it looking its best all the time, 469 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 2: And then turning to those other guys that we don't 470 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,959 Speaker 2: necessarily want in our gardens, in our yards, or in 471 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 2: our definitely in our house, how to deal with them? 472 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 2: Properly warnings about dealing with them improperly. In fact, I'm 473 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 2: gonna have a special in studio guest with me from 474 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:12,719 Speaker 2: Poison Free Canajo, which is my local poison free branch 475 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 2: out here founded by a very very dear friend of mine, 476 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 2: my my radio mentor and former boss, Robin Bertolucci's gonna 477 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 2: be on the show with me tomorrow. We'll be talking 478 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 2: about that and a number of other things. We'll talk 479 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 2: a little bit about why there have been somebody snake 480 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 2: bites here in southern California this season, and and everything 481 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: in between it all. It's gonna be a great show, 482 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 2: the big show tomorrow morning from nine to noon. Don't 483 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 2: miss it. We're gonna have a lot of fun and 484 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 2: you will learn a lot about Here's a one. Do 485 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 2: you know that that nobody is actually allergic to you know, animals, 486 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 2: you know, to their hair on animals, And you're like, wait, 487 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 2: that's not true. Yeah it is. It is actually really 488 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 2: completely true, And there's genetically no difference between hair and fur. 489 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 2: So he was like, is that a hairdog or a 490 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 2: fur dog? No, no, no, no, not really the thing. 491 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 2: But there are differences, and there are reasons why people 492 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 2: have out allergic reactions around certain pets, and we will 493 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 2: discuss exactly why that is tomorrow and how to best 494 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 2: deal with it, because knowledge is power, and you know 495 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 2: the more you know.
