If you're kind 6 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: in the dark about that, get out there and take 7 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: a look and make a little list of your spring chores. Yes, 8 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: it is springtime, and springtime is a good time, and 9 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: it's exciting that you know, the weather's changing, and eh, 10 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: things are green in a lot of parts of the country, 11 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: so hooray for us.

It simply moves dirty, stagnan air out, 20 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: clean air in. And right now, Easy Breathe is also 21 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: giving you too free eu ministats with every purchase.

It's Letter E, letter Z Breathe dot com. 26 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: We thank them for sponsoring this hour of the show. 27 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: And boy, how things change as we switch seasons. And 28 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: you know, humidity wasn't really a problem in our homes. 29 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: In many cases, it was usually just dry and that 30 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 1: has its own set of problems. But yesterday we already 31 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: had a couple of questions regarding high humidity down in basements. 32 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: And I just want to remind you if you live 33 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: on a slab, doesn't matter, but if you have a 34 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: basement or cross basin it's below grade. You just got 35 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 1: to realize the amount of water vapor that comes through 36 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: those walls every day, whether it's raining or not. And 37 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: quite honestly, even if there's a a little bit of 38 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: a drought going on, because the further down that soil 39 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: you get, the more damp it is that water vapor 40 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: penetrates through the walls and drives up to humidity. But 41 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: another thing depends only you know where you live. Obviously 42 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: this is temperature and moisture related. But you know, if 43 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: you get an area where you get a lot of 44 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: spring rains and you've probably already had some, a good 45 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: little idea is to get downstairs and just see if 46 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: there's ain't damp areas. I'm not saying water rolling across 47 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: the floor, but just the walls are damp or in 48 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: a cross space. Can you see if the walls are damp. 49 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 1: Maybe with a flashlight you can actually observe that, or 50 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: pray tell maybe you've got water that's running across the floor, 51 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: you got puddling in a cross space, which I guarantee 52 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: you will eventually catch up with you and you will 53 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: start having very unhealthy air in the basement which will 54 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: work its way to the living quarter. So just quick 55 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: check see where your humidity is, see where if there's 56 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: ain't dampness down there, and put a plan together to 57 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: kind of get that back and check and you'll be 58 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: glad you did. All right, let me give you the 59 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: phone number and you can grab a line as we 60 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: begin to start talking about some of the projects we 61 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: can do this time of year. It's eight hundred eight 62 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: two three A two five five.

I uh, I'm old man, not 69 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: real old, but I've got a house, a three story house, 70 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 2: and one room gets extremely hot. And I don't know why. 71 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: Is this this time of year? Is this in the 72 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: winter time? Is this you know, the winter, in the winter, 73 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: it's hot. 74 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, all the heat seem like it saw a lot 75 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 2: of heat going to that room, and I don't know why. 76 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: So is this on the top story? Yeah, so this 77 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: is on the top story in one room is hotter 78 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: than the other rooms that are upstairs. 79 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 80 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: And it's in the room like outside you know, the wall, 81 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 2: not in the middle of the house. And he gets 82 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: extremely hot. 83 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: Well, the only thing I could give you a suggestion 84 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: on that, to be honest with you, is so there 85 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: there is the heat on or anything. I mean, you 86 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: can give me more than it's just a little hot. 87 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: I have no idea what it could be. 88 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 4: Heat with the. 89 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 2: Heat, I mean, with the heat is like extremely hot 90 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 2: as well. 91 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 1: Insulated or what Yeah, and this is in the middle 92 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: of the house. 93 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: No, it's only in the edge. 94 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: Okay, So all right, is it the one that's closest 95 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: to the furnace In other. 96 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: Words, Yeah, I thought about that, but I don't. It's 97 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: kind of closed, but not real close. 98 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, but if the furnace, I guess it's in the 99 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: basement on the lower level. And then this bedroom is 100 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: on the upper level and it's on the side where 101 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: the furnace would be. 102 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 2: Right. 103 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: Okay, Now when you say extremely hot, what's that mean. 104 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: What's the temperature you think in that room? 105 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 2: Well, I'm meaning for as like if I got an 106 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 2: only seventy maybe if I put it on seventy, it 107 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 2: might be seventy five. 108 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: And okay, okay. So one of the things I'll always 109 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: be mindful of is the upstairs to the upstairs to 110 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: the lower level of a house. It's acceptable for there 111 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: to be almost a sixth degree difference. Now I'm not 112 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: saying you got to like that. I'm just saying it's 113 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: acceptable that that falls in that range. But I think 114 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: there's a couple things that we need to do. Is 115 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: are all those doors upstairs are they open or are 116 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: they closed? Or tell me about that well. 117 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: Red doors mostly low right, but it's a big room. 118 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 2: It's a room with a on the It leads out 119 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 2: into a shower and leads warmed down to a close. 120 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: But at all the houses I've had, I never had 121 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 2: a room that was that. 122 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, how are the other rooms? Are they colder than 123 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: they should be or are they like perfect? 124 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 2: They're colder? 125 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: They're colder. I think what you've got is you got 126 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 1: too much warm air, hot air flowing into that room, 127 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: and there's a not enough warm heated air to get 128 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: to the back rooms. And you can make an adjustment 129 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: on that. Inside the main trunk line going to that room, 130 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: there's a damper in it, so there'll be there'll be 131 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: a little lever handle. Maybe it's in the basement along 132 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: the running in between the joyst you can identify that, 133 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: you know, this is the pipe that's going to the 134 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: upstairs or the upstairs bedrooms. You can you can pull 135 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: that back a little bit. So the inside that duckwork, 136 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: there's like a plate. Okay, it's a pan that's in 137 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: the middle of it, and it goes where it's totally horizontal, 138 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: and then as you adjusted it can be totally vertical 139 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: and shut off all the air. I think what you 140 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: need to do is, i'll say, throttle that back a 141 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: little bit so that it's just not you know, getting 142 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: all that air in that room. If you can't find that, 143 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: one of the things you might even do is go 144 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: into that room and where the register vents are just 145 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how many registers are in there, but 146 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: maybe close one of them. Maybe close one of them, 147 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: and then that heated air Ronnie won't be able to 148 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: disperse into that room, but there'll be more heat to 149 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: get you back to those other rooms. Okay, So I 150 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: think that's probably I think that's probably what's going on. 151 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you can also get an HVAC guy out 152 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: there and let him really do an analysis to see 153 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: what's going on there. I don't know if there's enough 154 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: cold air returns. I mean, there's multiple things that it 155 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: can be, but that would be the first thing I 156 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: would do is start working on the volume of heat 157 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: that's going up to that room and see if we 158 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: can cut that down and bypass that room to a 159 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: degree to get the more of the heated air to 160 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: the other rooms in the house. In other words, you're 161 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: balancing the system out. Okay, all right, all right, my 162 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: friend thanks with gall appreciate it, Take care all right. 163 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: Our phone numbers eight hundred eight two three eight two 164 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: five five Grab a line.

I'm entertainer, looking at getting up a 239 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 7: day and to assist her. I wanted to get your 240 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 7: I know nothing about it at all. Uh, I wanted 241 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 7: to get your thoughts about it, and uh, just just 242 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 7: started to look on the internet. I see that you 243 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 7: can kind of convert yours and modify. Yeah, just promote 244 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 7: or versus just going in and get a complete one 245 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 7: that was made for it. 246 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, there are conversion kits. I've not used one, John 247 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: or not, you know, converted one into a B So 248 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: I don't know about those kits. I know I've Cohler 249 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: is a manufacturer, obviously a big plumbing manufacturer, and they 250 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: they make the bidets. They're you're impressive, do the job. 251 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: I just don't. I just can't help you. Really converting 252 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: a toilet to a bad day. I'd have to do 253 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: a little studying myself. But I think that's a I 254 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: think that's probably a good option. I guess it depends 255 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: on whether you even have the room if you're not 256 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: going to convert it to you know, changing you know, 257 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: appliance out and putting in a bad day. So is 258 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: the bathroom big enough to accompany both of them or 259 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: not so much? 260 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 7: You know, I said again, it's not a lot of 261 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 7: time or the bathroom are it's kind of art, but 262 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 7: the mode is really it's in a little small yeah area, Yeah, 263 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 7: it's got his own door. That's something else I think of, 264 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 7: and then I guess it becomes useless as a regular 265 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 7: to I mean, yeah, I always go to the other one. 266 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, So either way, you're probably that's what I was 267 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: kind of figuring out because a lot of the newer 268 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: homes do you know that you have the actual toilet 269 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: area in a small, small room, you know, so there's 270 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: probably going to have to be some configuration done, whether 271 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: you redo that or not. You're probably going to need 272 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: a secondary appliance there, and probably you're still going to 273 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: want it to be private, so you know, creating a 274 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: wall or a private area is also going to come 275 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: into play. So you know what I would do, I 276 00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: guess is, first of all, get my measurements of the area, 277 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: try to figure out exactly how much area you're going 278 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: to need by adding a bedet, and then if there's 279 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: construction evolved, you're going to kind of have to get 280 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: that figured into the equation. I would guess that's a 281 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: good starting point and maybe educating yourself a little bit 282 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: about the badet in itself. But I guess that's about 283 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: you know, the advice I would give you on that, 284 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: And you know, also if your wife is starting to 285 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: have some issues with mobility and stuff. There's certainly other 286 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: things that you might want to consider too. We got 287 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: into a conversation yesterday on that just about you know, 288 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: door handles and things like that, going with a lever 289 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: instead of a knob, different things to make it a 290 00:17:54,160 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: little bit more accommodating. So I hope that helps get 291 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: me a full report on which direction you go. But yeah, 292 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: I think room in the adjustment to the area is 293 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: going to be you know, front and center. And and 294 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: even if mobility is an issue also and I mean 295 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: the flooring cover in a bathroom, like if a walker's 296 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: being used, there are some that are going to be 297 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: much easier to negotiate and not be as much of 298 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: a trip hazard. And again, if that floor you're doing 299 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: a little remodeling, and if that floor, you know, is 300 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: not exactly real smooth or could be a tripping hazard, 301 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: you might even look at if it's like a ceramic 302 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: town that's got deep recess mortar joints, you might even 303 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: look at putting an LVT flooring in there right over 304 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: the ceramic. You wouldn't really have to take it up, 305 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: and it make it, you know, easier to be mobile 306 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: over that floor anyway.

All right, 349 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: back at it we go. Well, I've just learned a 350 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: whole bunch. I have to admit I didn't know much 351 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: about a bidet. I certainly knew about an additional area 352 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: for a BDET, and I think he was kind of 353 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: on the right track when I first started talking with 354 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: the fella, and I can be honest, I didn't really 355 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: know that there is a way to accommodate exactly what 356 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: he needs. So I hope he still listening as I 357 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: looked up different manufacturers and different things there. When he 358 00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: talked about a conversion bidet, and again, this is just 359 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: what I read. I have not had the experience of 360 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: installing or anything like that, so I'm kind of putting 361 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 1: the pieces together. First of all, if you wanted to, 362 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: you could buy a toilet with a bidet feature, and 363 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: I mentioned Kohler they have one, and there's several other 364 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: people that have them. The only thing you'd really have 365 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: to add from what I can tell is an outlet 366 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: right near that toilet area, so that could you know, 367 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: that's certainly going to be a lot more inexpensive than 368 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: what I had recommended, so I just wanted to clear 369 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: that up that there's hope. So that's one feature. Then 370 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:49,479 Speaker 1: there is a conversion which he spoke of, that a 371 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: bidet could be added to your existing toilet, and that 372 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: again you would need to have an outlet near there 373 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: to operate the bidet. You would have to tap into 374 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: that water supply, again not being a problem. There's probably 375 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: a valve underneath the toilet anyway, and the bidet is 376 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 1: basically an attachment to your existing toilet. Now you're going 377 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: to need to know if you got a round toilet 378 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: or elongated toilet, so that the bidet would function properly 379 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: in each type. But I think that's and that added 380 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: feature is going to be from what I can see, 381 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: anywhere from one hundred and fifty to probably three hundred 382 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: and fifty dollars. I can't tell you what the difference are. 383 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: Didn't get enough time to read all about it, but 384 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: I just wanted to pass that along. So rather than 385 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: making a pretty big project out of it. And you know, 386 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: if his wife is becoming less and less mobile and 387 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: needs the help of a day, it seems to me 388 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: that you can just get the the kid to add 389 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 1: the bidet feature to your existing toilet um or replace 390 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: the whole toilet with a feature of a bidet. So 391 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: wanted to just run that by you. All right, let 392 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: me give you the phone number. You can jump on board. 393 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: As I say, every week I do the show, I 394 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: learned a little something too, so I appreciate your calls. 395 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: Our phone number eight hundred eighty two three A two 396 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: five five. I got my checklist for this time of 397 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 1: the year. Certainly cleaning is one thing, and by the way, 398 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: the lines are open, so if you want to grab 399 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: a line, go ahead. Certainly one of the things is 400 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: cleaning the house, organizing the house. But another thing is 401 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: just doing really basic maintenance or looking for problems. I 402 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: try not to look for problems, but there is some 403 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: very basic maintenance that will sometimes turn up a problem. 404 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: Yesterday I talked about one of the things to do, 405 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: and I've been fortunate enough to do this in a 406 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: timely manner and have found problems over the years, and 407 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: that is going to every What you're gonna do is 408 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna check every supply valve and pipe in your house. Now, 409 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: they're usually underneath vanity cabinets, underneath kitchen cabinets, you know, 410 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: underneath the toilet. We just talked about the valve there 411 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 1: and just shutting that off there at that point, and 412 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: let it shut off for a few minutes, even taking 413 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 1: a piece of Kleenex and just kind of wrapping around 414 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 1: where the bonnet on that valve is, see if it 415 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: picks up any water, and then turn it back on. 416 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: Come back five minutes with a piece of clean x, 417 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: and again, you know, underneath the valve or on the valve, 418 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: make sure the valve's not sweating or it's going to 419 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: peer wet. And you may take on a project. It 420 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: doesn't need to be taken on. But the times that 421 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: I have done that, I would say most of the time, 422 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: nothing happens. It shuts off, it doesn't leak, I turn 423 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: it on, doesn't leak. I was out of you know, 424 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 1: if you want to look at it that way. It 425 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: took me, you know, five minutes. So I have also 426 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: found out that when I shut that off and I'll 427 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: come back in five minutes, there's a little drip underneath 428 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: that valve. And what better way to find a drip 429 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: than five minutes after you shut off that valve and 430 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: turned that valve on and discovered it. Because if your 431 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: life's anything like mine, if you're going to ever find 432 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: a drip, it's usually going to be when you're out 433 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: of town for you know, a week or two, and 434 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: you didn't shut off the water. So just check them all. 435 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: I know some of the people are listening. I'm sure 436 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: you have a bathroom in your house that is rarely 437 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: used and you pay absolutely no attention to it. Others, 438 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: maybe all your bathrooms are used all the time, but 439 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: just shutting them off. I mean, it'd probably take you 440 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: an hour to do them in all the houses. But 441 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 1: that's a good thing to check. All right again, it's 442 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three A two five five Benny, Welcome, 443 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:28,959 Speaker 1: good morning. 444 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 3: How are you today, Gary? 445 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: Doing fine? Thank you? 446 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 3: I got a problem. My daughter and son in law 447 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 3: has a two store house. The downstairs was covered with 448 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 3: old antique of the hard time they had to salvage 449 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 3: out of another house. The waterline to the water cloths that 450 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 3: broke flooded the whole downstairs. The sorer the wood. They 451 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 3: tore it all up but couldn't be savage. They went 452 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 3: back with tongue groove oak and did a beautiful job. 453 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 3: That did this, stained it and they started finishing it. 454 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 3: And when you got through the final finish it would 455 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 3: feel full of grill, sand and paint brushed bristles. Now 456 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 3: the contractor said, oh, wouldn't fix it. So it went 457 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 3: back in and put a chemical on it, and it 458 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 3: dissolved and went down in there and they tried to 459 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 3: clean it off and it made a bigger mess. Long 460 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 3: short short, they had to start all over, had just 461 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 3: send every bit of it down again, refinished, it restained 462 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 3: three or four coats. Now that it's done right, this 463 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 3: little tiny tarball side thing this form and you know, 464 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 3: and I don't know if it's goals. So that chemical 465 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 3: they put in. 466 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 1: Their design, well idea would what? I have no idea? 467 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: What's going on? When you say tar balls are a 468 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: little black specs or what are they? 469 00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 4: No? 470 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 3: I say tar little bottles of pretty sticky bottles that 471 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 3: appear on the floor. It's not taller, is it? 472 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: Like? Is it dimples? Because one of the things you 473 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: can do when you're doing floor finishes. I've seen this 474 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: mistake often if you're putting down a euthane or a 475 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: varnish or even a spar your thinge and we're using 476 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of brush they use, but 477 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: say a wrong type of brush or the bigger problem 478 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: is people shake the varnish up and these really minute 479 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: air bubbles get trapped in the varnish, and when it's 480 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: applied onto the floor, sometimes those bubbles stay in the 481 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: varnish and they dry, and it sounds to me like 482 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: that's what it is. Now. I don't know what that 483 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: other stuff was. How did sand and all that stuff 484 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: get into the last coat of that varnyh whell? 485 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 3: That was the first people they did it. They didn't 486 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 3: know what they're doing. Yeah apparently so. 487 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, so gee, I'm not here to you know, burst 488 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: your day or anything. But if it is the bubbles, really, 489 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: what they're gonna need to do is, rather than sand 490 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,719 Speaker 1: the whole thing down, they're gonna have to sand that 491 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: top coat down with probably a four hundred grit wet 492 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,479 Speaker 1: dry paper and they can sand those bubbles out and 493 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: then you can put another coat of you know, varnish 494 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: or your thane over and it should be rectified.

It 565 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 4: was just a little adapter. I mean, you know, the 566 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 4: box wasn't very big or anything, and I put it 567 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 4: on myself in I'd stay within an hour, okay, and 568 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 4: it just it just fit underneath the seat in the 569 00:35:59,400 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 4: back of. 570 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: The toilet, right, I'm looking. 571 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 4: You take this so the toilet seat comes up, and 572 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 4: then you put the toilet seat back down over the 573 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 4: top of it, right, and then the line just just 574 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 4: goes directly into your toilet line. 575 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: Okay. 576 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 4: Now, the only time you would need another outlet is 577 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:15,760 Speaker 4: if you wanted heated water. 578 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: Ah, okay, because I'm looking at it with an outlet there, 579 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: that's interesting. In fact, I was even looking at the 580 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: whole thing. There's a toilet elongated and handicap eightya you know, 581 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 1: so it's a little higher mounted toilet with a bidet 582 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: and a toilet combination. The whole thing's four hundred and 583 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: eighty dollars, And that's another. 584 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 4: Option for if you if I would almost recommend maybe 585 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 4: doing the temporary I say temporary the adapter, just to 586 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 4: find out if it's what you like. 587 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: Well, that's true too, because they were relatively inexpensive too, 588 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: right right the one I saw, I forget what the 589 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: price was, but it was like under a hundred buck. 590 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well yeah, I think mine was in the twenties. 591 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 4: It might might not have been the best one. It did, 592 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 4: you know what it was, and we haven't elongated. I 593 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,959 Speaker 4: don't think it made any difference. This one didn't seem 594 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 4: to make any difference whether it was elongated or around toilet. Okay, 595 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 4: and we have the elevated you know, elevated toilet. I 596 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 4: don't care for it, but you know, it was a good, 597 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 4: good lesson to learn features. 598 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know there was a combo out there, 599 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 1: to be honest with. 600 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 4: You, so good I think if you know, I'm guessing 601 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 4: that I already made toilet with a good day, probably 602 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 4: is better, but it's also one more thing to go wrong. 603 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's true with them. Whenever we get the 604 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: bells and whistles. That's always true for. 605 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 4: Sure, right, Well, recommend getting getting the adapter, and you know, 606 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 4: and I said, it wasn't that hard to put on. 607 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 4: I just had to open the lawn, put that little 608 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 4: junction in and then close it back up and it 609 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 4: was ready to go. 610 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: Well, it sure sounds like for the price, that's the 611 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: way to go. So we're basically looking really at a 612 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 1: project that can probably be anywhere from twenty five dollars 613 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: to four hundred and fifty bucks. So you know whatever, 614 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, as everybody does their research, you know what 615 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: you're looking into. Because I was talking about the whole 616 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: two separate appliances, and you know, you get expensive, then 617 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: you start taking out walls and everything else. So when 618 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: I looked it up after you know, the conversation, had 619 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,760 Speaker 1: some time to do a little study, Oh my gosh, 620 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 1: this and the big deals. It sounded like. 621 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 4: So Europe they have a separate in Europe, they have 622 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 4: a separate today, you know usually and way back. 623 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: When, well, yeah, and then you do you know you're 624 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: going to have the privacy and everything, and so you're 625 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 1: building walls and so yeah, I was kind of off 626 00:38:55,680 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 1: base on that one. All right, all right, Mark, I 627 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: appreciate it, thank you. All right, Well, yeah, we do 628 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:06,720 Speaker 1: learn something every week. 629 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 10: Jim, welcome morning again, coach. I got three three or 630 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 10: three easy ones for you this morning. All right, Well, 631 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 10: did you say, all right, did you say tongue oil 632 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:18,320 Speaker 10: on wooden handles? 633 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: Boy, if I did, it's probably been a while, but 634 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:23,879 Speaker 1: I may have. 635 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,839 Speaker 10: Whether it's tongue oil or I got linseed oil out here. 636 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: But you well, you can use tongue oiled, daintysh oil 637 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: or linseed oil. You're talking about like garden handles, you know. 638 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,320 Speaker 10: Garden handles, handles and hammer handles stuff. 639 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that you could use any of 640 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: those oils. Tongue oil probably being a little harder than 641 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,240 Speaker 1: a linseed oil, but a linseed oil will certainly protect them. Also. 642 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 10: Okay, now you said, did you say use maneral spirits 643 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,360 Speaker 10: on your gutters before you put down a g O seal? 644 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: Yes?

And you know, the mineral spirits 652 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: does a good job. Or paint dinner rubbing alcohol does 653 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: a good job removing that. 654 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 10: I got alcohol, I won't have to buy I won't 655 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 10: have to buy an other mineral spirits. 656 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that work now, all. 657 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 10: Right, Now, I'm impressed with easy breees. I put mine 658 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 10: in last September, and I did not run my d 659 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 10: humidifiers at all this winter, and that saved me almost 660 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 10: one hundred and twenty dollars a month because I was 661 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 10: getting something sometimes two and three gallons a day upstairs 662 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 10: in the house. And ever since I took that easy 663 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,439 Speaker 10: breeze in the cross space and uh oh, it's saved 664 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 10: me a bunch of money. Now this summer, what I 665 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 10: wanted to throw at was, I'll be running the air conditioner, 666 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 10: and at what point should I be paying attention to 667 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 10: my humidity If my air conditioner doesn't get all. 668 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 1: The moisture out over fifty five percent, Okay, in the summertime, 669 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 1: it doesn't in the summertime, it's going to go up anyway, 670 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 1: just because it's warmer out. Warm air holds more water 671 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 1: vapor than cold air. What I do at my house 672 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: during the and sometimes I have some issues with humidity, 673 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you exactly how I corrected that problem 674 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 1: about two years ago. Originally I ran the easy Breathe, 675 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 1: and I ran it twenty four hours a day. It 676 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: is very inexpensive to run the easy breathe do humidifiers 677 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: are expensive to run. And between the easy Breathe, I 678 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: wasn't really controlling the humidity. It was sometimes, you know, 679 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: fifty eight to sixty sixty it was you could tell 680 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,839 Speaker 1: it was a little damper than I liked. It wasn't 681 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 1: the end of the world, and there wasn't any mold. 682 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 1: But I had the easy Breathe going on full time, 683 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 1: but I was needing an extra boost, so I turned 684 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: the demidifier on and it got it in check right away. 685 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's expensive to operate the deumidifier. 686 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 1: And a caller called me and said, here's what you do. 687 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,800 Speaker 1: You go ahead and run your easy breathe, unplug your deumidifier. 688 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: And he asked me what i'd do with my fan 689 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: on the air conditioner for the house, the whole house 690 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,279 Speaker 1: air conditioner. And I said, well, I run it all 691 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: the time. I put it on on and he was, 692 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: that's your problem. He said, put it on automatic. Don't 693 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 1: run that fan unless the air conditioner is running. And 694 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,799 Speaker 1: the reason he had, I thought was a good idea. 695 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: If you're running your air conditioner and that fan is 696 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 1: on all the time and the condensation is all over 697 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: the coil inside the air handler, he goes, you're pulling 698 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,799 Speaker 1: that moisture out and then your fans on twenty four 699 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: to seven, it's blown it right back up in the house. 700 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: Now I'm no HVAC person. I've checked with many of them. 701 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: Some of them look at me like I'm crazy. But 702 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,319 Speaker 1: I did that. So now in the summertime I run 703 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: my easy breath, I do not. I did not plug 704 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 1: my deumidifier in last year or the year before. My 705 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: humanity level in my house all year round or all 706 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 1: in the summer was around fifty two percent. And and 707 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,280 Speaker 1: that solved the problem. I just turned it on auto. 708 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 10: What well you made you run your bigamsage. 709 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: You're easy very that I put it all the way. 710 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,879 Speaker 1: I put it at forty percent, run it twenty four 711 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 1: hours a day, and it's it's like burning a forty 712 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 1: watt light bulb. It's not expensive at all. All right, Jim, 713 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: thanks as much for the call. The music's playing. That 714 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,400 Speaker 1: means we gotta take a break and come back. We've 715 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,759 Speaker 1: got another hour, for sure, and even an hour after that. 716 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 1: Jack and Kit you'll be up first.
