I believe we have 5 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: them on the show next weekend. Be sure to test 6 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: your some pump system regularly, especially with the spring rains 7 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: heading our way, and we always get those, so I'm 8 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: just saying it's going to rain in a lot of places. 9 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: Check out their products Atala, z O E L L 10 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: e R dot com, Zalor dot com. We thank them 11 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: for sponsoring this hour of the show. All right. One 12 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: of the things we started chatting about is Mark's basement 13 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: and the higher humidity. And you know one of the 14 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: things too, Mark, is I was just thinking in my basement, 15 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: we had a really a couple of days of deluge 16 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: of rain and my humidity kicked up right away. And 17 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: I know you had it last year and then you 18 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: were running eighty percent commidity where and it's down to 19 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: what fifty to fifty five right now? Is that what 20 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: you said? Yeah? 21 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 2: When I when I run both the dehumidifier and the 22 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: easy Breathe, but when they're off that it goes through 23 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: the roof. 24 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: Okay, well, obviously we got something wrong. But to control that, 25 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: if you can keep it fifty five or below, you 26 00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: can certainly be happy with that. Seriously, but there are 27 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: some things I'd like you to really check. And I 28 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: know you said you checked the grating outside somewhere. We're 29 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: getting a pretty strong infusion of moisture, and and it's sedling. 30 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: Moisture's heavy. It always settles into basements. That's why basements 31 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: smell moist sometimes and smell moldy. But when you were talking, 32 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: you sealed up to some pump. That looks good. Let's 33 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: look at some other areas and let's do some test. 34 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 3: Uh. 35 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: The first thing is get some uh maybe like four 36 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: mili plastic and tape some squares. Is there an unfinished 37 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: side of the basement. You said it was finished, but 38 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: is there an unfinished side? Yeah. Tape some plastic. Yeah, 39 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: just you know, little eighteen inch by eighteen inch. Tape 40 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: it down with duct tape. Put a couple spots on 41 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: the floor, put a couple on the wall, and let's 42 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: see if any water droplets form inside that plastic. You know, 43 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: maybe there's not a vapor barrier under the floor. I 44 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: don't know if there isn't or you have a high 45 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: water table. Even with a some pump, that moisture could 46 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: be getting in the air and that could be part 47 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: of the problem. Any cracks in the floor, cracks in 48 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: the walls, make sure those are patched. In the rim 49 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: joice you know the joye up at the top of 50 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: the foundation wall, there's probably some rolled insulation that's stuffed 51 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: in their Just double check that, make sure it's not moldy, 52 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: make sure it's not damp. Maybe something to take a 53 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: look at down the road is getting those choice foamed 54 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: to seal it out. Ceiling is a real buzzword we're 55 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: hearing in insulation right now. I would definitely consider that. Also, 56 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: take another look at your down spouts and maybe the 57 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: some pump discharge pipe and make sure it is going 58 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: underground and coming out, even if you have to run 59 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: a hose in there to make sure we got that 60 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: in fact, it is taking that water away from the foundation. 61 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: Those are a couple of things I would certainly check. 62 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: And then I also mentioned right when we were leaving. 63 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if you caught it all, but when 64 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: you're running the air conditioner. And even if you want 65 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: to kick on the air conditioner tomorrow, it's only going 66 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: to go where I'm at, only going to go up 67 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: to eighty or so. But just to run out and 68 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: get as much moisture out of the air as you 69 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: can might be helpful. I'm assuming you have vents and 70 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: a return down in the basement. It'll help deumidify that 71 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: basement quickly. And don't turn the fan on on. Make 72 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: sure it's on automatic, and make sure it's on you know, 73 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: cool and bring that temperature down. Let's run that and 74 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: see if we can pull out some of that excess 75 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: moisture where we're kind of starting at ground zero again. 76 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: Those will be a couple of tips that I have 77 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: for you. And you know, if you discover any of those, 78 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: you know, kind of did the deal or you're seeing moisture, 79 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: let's talk and talk about how we can get that 80 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: sealed up. Then. Okay, thank you, all right, good enough, Mark, 81 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: thank you, all right. We'll go to Kathy. 82 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 4: Kathy, welcome, Hi Gary, thanks for taking my fall. 83 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: You're welcome. 84 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 4: I have an exterior door. It goes out to my 85 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 4: patio and there are steps that lead from the door 86 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 4: to the patio underneath the threshold. When the door was installed, 87 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 4: there was a matching strip of cock that's close to 88 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 4: an inch thick, and over time it has started to separate. 89 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 5: It almost looks like sour dough bread, you know, you 90 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 5: get the big air bubbles in it. 91 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: Right. 92 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 5: Well, my question is what's the best product to go 93 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 5: in and repair that clock. One of the issues is 94 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 5: is that it's matching to the door jam in the color, 95 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 5: so trying to match the color up. And the company 96 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 5: that installed it, the owner has since retired and no 97 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 5: longer in business, so I have that going against me. 98 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: So is this on the step by the threshold is 99 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: that what you're saying? Or does it go up the 100 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: doorframe too, just. 101 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 5: Underneath between the threshold and the. 102 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: Top step, okay? And so the step is concrete or 103 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: would uh. 104 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 6: No, it's a chech you know, the like a tech 105 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 6: deck product, like a composite, yes. 106 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: Okay, okay. And the threshold is metal or wood or 107 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: what is that? 108 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 5: Uh? 109 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 4: It's metal? 110 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: Metal? Okay? So there is what I would use is 111 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: there's a cocking out on the market. It's called quad 112 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: q U A D. It is a it is a 113 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: your thane cocking and your athane is probably the best 114 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: you can get for mixed substrates. So we got composite 115 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: butting up or underneath aluminum, so there's different rates of 116 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: expansion contraction. Uh. An inch bead is pretty deep and 117 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: it's going to be part of the issue. But we 118 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: can fix that. So the biggest issue right now is 119 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: get the old cock out, and that's that's tough. You 120 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:55,559 Speaker 1: can get some different cock removers. One of the ones 121 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: I talk about is called Mostenbacher. I know that's a 122 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: great name, uh, but but what it does, it doesn't 123 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: just remove the cocking. It softens it and it allows 124 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: you to get in there and really cut that calking out. 125 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: So working on that first is gonna be key. All right. 126 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: Then if you get it out, or when you get 127 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,119 Speaker 1: it out, there is what they call a backer rod, 128 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: which is a it's like foam roping, all right, And 129 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: you can take that foam roping and you can slide 130 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: it back underneath the threshold. Okay, so you're going to 131 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: fill up that gap, but you're not going to fill 132 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: it up where it's out onto the surface. You're going 133 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: to get it back behind that threshold maybe three ace 134 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: of an inch or so, So you're going to fill 135 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: up that area because you're just not going to keep 136 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: SCRT and cocking there that that's that's not going to 137 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: really solve anything. So get a backer rod push that 138 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: back in there. You use a screwdriver something along nose lines. 139 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: Then you can google Quaw. It used to be owned 140 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: by a company called Ohio Seilance and then they moved 141 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: out to Arizona and I don't know if they still 142 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: use that name or not, but if you google Quad 143 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: and the reason I'm recommended it's your thane. It also 144 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: comes in colors, and it's also it's also a yourthane 145 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: that can be painted. Worst case scenario, you can use 146 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: the you know, clear black, blue, white, whatever you want, 147 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: put it in there and then get a color match 148 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: your your composite decking and get like an artist brush 149 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: or a small brush and just paint that calking or 150 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: you might be able to find it may be able 151 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: to find the calking that color too, but you're gonna 152 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: have to. And there's there's others. I'm familiar with the 153 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: Quad because it's a recommended cocking for a hardy board 154 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:04,239 Speaker 1: sighting on the out side because it's very very flexible, 155 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: and it's paintable and it's just a really it's a 156 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: quality calocking, and that's the one i'd recommend for that. 157 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 4: Perfect. 158 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 5: I suspect that a similar product was used when they 159 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 5: installed it, because there seems to be a lot of flexibility. 160 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to get there is. I am going 161 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: to guess there is. Uh, but that's that's what I 162 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: would use in. Yeah, do a little homework and then 163 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: work on getting that old calking out, then a backer 164 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: rod and then the quad. 165 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 4: All right, well I've got my project for the weekend. 166 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: There you go, Kathy. All right, thank you much for 167 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: the call. Appreciated. Good luck. All Right, we'll take a break, 168 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: Dan Uh you'll be up first. We've got Craig and 169 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: Vince and Rob and a busy day.

And he said, we did 241 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 2: it too soon. 242 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: Dan, should let it go for a while. 243 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: We're happen to redo everything and we're limping, and you, 244 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: I think, because it was all liveable. 245 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: Right, you know, I gotta tell you, Dan, this is 246 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: no kidd I'll swear on a stack of Bibles on 247 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: that last night, just laying in bed and things run 248 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: through your head. You know, got to get this done. 249 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there thinking like, I wonder how long 250 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: ago it was since I replaced that roof, and I'm 251 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: thinking back. I think I'm think in six or seven years. 252 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: And my thought was exactly that. I remember when I 253 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: replaced that roof, I said, I'm probably never gonna have 254 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: to replace that roof again. Now I'm thinking I replaced 255 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: that thing a few years too early, yeah, because it 256 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: was wearing, but it wasn't shot. So I hear you 257 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: a loud and clear man. 258 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: And now getting all our buddies together is near impossible 259 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 2: because everybody, well you know, we ended up raising grandkids too, sure, 260 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 2: and you know the money thing, your health insurances out 261 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: of control, right, you don't you know we used to 262 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: do And I'm still that way. I still look at 263 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: something like I'm not going to hire a contractor unless 264 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: I absolutely can't. 265 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: Do it right. If you can't do it, you can't 266 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: do that. 267 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 2: And now it's to that and nobody shows up. 268 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: And well and also I don't know about you, but 269 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: those projects we used to do just willing nearly are 270 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult. Maybe flexibility Getting underneath that 271 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: sink is a little bit more challenging than it used 272 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: to be. Yep. 273 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 2: Once I get down there, I do everything I can 274 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 2: do while I'm there. 275 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well I think there's a lot of 276 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: people like that. And then it comes to the decision, 277 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: you know, depending on you know, the size of the 278 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: house and how many people you know, I mean, you 279 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: get all that. Am I staying where I am? Or 280 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: am I going smaller? Or am I going to get 281 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: a condo? Or you know a lot of people thinking 282 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: a lot of different things. But what I see is 283 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: I don't see much movement rights, but I don't see 284 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: much movements. So I guess that's as they say, that's life. 285 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 2: Yep, that's why we moved here. It must have been 286 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 2: right around eighty nine. 287 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: It's been a while, sure, but the. 288 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 2: House next door came up for sale and we had 289 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 2: a partial share drive I didn't want the house, but 290 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 2: I wanted the driveway. Uh So I bought the house 291 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 2: to get to the driveway, just to have control. But 292 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 2: my immediately, my immediate issue is right now the drainage 293 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 2: along the side of my house. The driveway is paved 294 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 2: clear up to the foundation of the rental unit next house, 295 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 2: but on my side, I have about three feet that 296 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 2: was still green space. And and this is where a 297 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 2: lot of water comes in. I have a spouting coming 298 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 2: down right here. But my immediate issue is my wife 299 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 2: wants these My mother in law years ago, she lived 300 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 2: with us, oh many years ago, and she had planted 301 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 2: these rose bushes right on either side of this spouting 302 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 2: going into the drainage out to the street. And I 303 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 2: need to get this all. I need to dig this 304 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 2: out and redo this drainage. And would actually like to 305 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 2: like to go ahead and move the driveway all the 306 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 2: way up to the foundation here too, so it can 307 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 2: go down well. 308 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 1: It also the ability to grade that out too, I 309 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: think that also might be part of that issue. So 310 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna be up against the clock. That's why I'm 311 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: kind of cutting you a little short here. 312 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 2: But if that's well, can I dig those rose bushes 313 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 2: out now, Oh. 314 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: Are you going to try to transplant them again or what?

As always, thank you, I spend the 372 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 3: best place I spend Saturday mornings. 373 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: Well I appreciate that two questions. 374 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 3: Both related to one another. We moved into a condominium 375 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, and there's maintenance done, snow removal, 376 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 3: et cetera. And they were using some great of ice melt, 377 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 3: and I didn't see a problem. This year when the 378 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 3: snow came down, they switched to rock salt. Couldn't see 379 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 3: it on the driveway, didn't notice it until I cracked 380 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 3: it in the garage with a car. And of course 381 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 3: I've got cancer spot, a dozen of them on the 382 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 3: garage floor. I can I can cure the cancer spots. 383 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 3: They may not match, but I can cure them. But 384 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 3: I also have got I've also got some cracking. I 385 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 3: don't think it has anything to do with the with 386 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 3: the rock salt, but they're really thin, probably anything from 387 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 3: a sixteenth of an inch to an eighth of an 388 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 3: inch wide. And I'm wondering what kind of ceilant I 389 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 3: can get down in a crack that that that narrow. 390 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, there are ceiling second get into cracks that are 391 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: maybe an eighth of an inch. I think sixteenth of 392 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: an inch. You're probably not gonna get much in there. 393 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 1: There is a product that's made by it's it's a 394 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: really really great marketing name. It's called crack seal. Yeah, 395 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: I'm familiar with it, all right. So it's a it's 396 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: an acrylic resince sealer. It's not a eurothane or anything 397 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: like that. But it's a good filler. And you know, 398 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: you can either put that in there in a garage. 399 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: You're not going to have a problem with a lot 400 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: of water where you could create a lot of erosion, 401 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: but you know you can certainly seal that up in 402 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: case there was a lot of water that would be 403 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: dragged into that that would create erosion. I keep an 404 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: eye on it though, whether you fill it or not. 405 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: In other words, is it is it growing? Is it 406 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: getting wider? Is it? 407 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 3: Yeah? I've been watching them. They've been pretty much not 408 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 3: moving and they're not growing, okay, but I'm I'm awful 409 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 3: uncomfortable with them being there when when the car let's down, 410 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 3: that water off it's all like it this. 411 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: Year, Yeah, exactly exactly. So if that's the case, I 412 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: would just you know, clean that out the best you can. 413 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: It's probably not that dirty. But even if you just 414 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: get a hose and squirt the cracks out and then 415 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 1: use the crack seal product. It's self leveling. Again, it's 416 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: about the viscossi of a milkshake. So maybe a little thinner, 417 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: more like maple syrup, okay, And so you'll put the 418 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: you know, like the cracked seal right over the crack 419 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 1: and just let it weep into the crevice. It's not 420 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: going anywhere if it doesn't weep in. A wet rag 421 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: will wipe it away because it is a water based 422 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: acrylic ceiling. But that's what I would use. 423 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 4: Yes, all right. 424 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 3: And the second question, the garages is not heated, and 425 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 3: my utility room is in the basement, so I brought 426 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 3: in my HVAC people and they're putting heat into the garage. 427 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 3: I would like the once I get that floor the 428 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 3: way I want, I would like to code it, not 429 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 3: so much for looks as as per protection. Is there 430 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 3: a particular coding that's better for that in terms of others? 431 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, you got a wide wide range of codings. 432 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: In fact, probably the one I've talked about for years 433 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: is called roller Rock. Yeah you talk about that. Yeah, 434 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: they're a sponsor of the show, and I used them 435 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: way before they were a sponsor of the show. It 436 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: does a really good job. It is very decorative. It 437 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: is also very much a ceilant. But there's really all 438 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: kinds of things. So you could stain, you could use 439 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: a masonry stain and then a clear seiler on top 440 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 1: of that like they would use on stamp concrete. You 441 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: could use roller rock which is slip resistant and it's 442 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: a beautiful finish. And you could even use a product 443 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: called track Safe, which is a you're ceiling on top 444 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: of that, you could use you know, you see all 445 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 1: these ads about garage floors like Galaxy concrete and all that. 446 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: That's a polyurea finish, which is probably I mean it's 447 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: the most expensive, but it's probably the best in terms 448 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: of warranty and life of the product. So you know, 449 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: poly urea finish. I would stay away, and you don't 450 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: have to stay away. I just those a POxy floor 451 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: garage floor kits that you'll see in the store. They're 452 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: like eighty nine ninety nine bucks. There are a lot 453 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: of work, and I think you can get five to 454 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: eight years out of them maybe, And I think they haven't. 455 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 3: I've also reached the age where I think I have 456 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 3: there's somebody to do it, because many seven years. 457 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: Old, Okay, all right, Well, you know you could so, 458 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: so those are the those are the rough outline of 459 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: the things you could do. The easiest product to apply. Well, 460 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: the the polyureas are all professionally applied, so they're going 461 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: to be more expensive and they're gonna last forever or 462 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna last a really good long time. The roller rock, 463 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: you know, the preparation clean is number one, and it's 464 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: it's probably going to get you a good fifteen years. 465 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: And a painter could do that if they're willing to 466 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: do that, So they would probably be a pretty good 467 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: go to product for the price and having someone apply it. 468 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: Outside of that, I think really unless you got in 469 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: an industrial epoxy and a painter could apply that too, 470 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: but I just wouldn't use the diy A POxy Garage 471 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: floor paints, Okay. 472 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 3: And the last question related to the same thing. It's poured. 473 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 3: There's a pored foundation, poored sidewalls and they coated them, 474 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 3: and I think they coated them inside with a paint 475 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 3: paint that's designed to hold back water pressure from outside, 476 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 3: and I think with the car dropping water over the 477 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 3: winter and the salt on it, it started to peel. 478 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 3: Can that just be scraped and patched with the same 479 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 3: type of product. 480 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: Sure, sure if yeah, I mean if it was a 481 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: waterproof paint. How long was it up there? 482 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 3: Oh? I think it's been up there a good eight 483 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 3: or ten years. 484 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. 485 00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 3: There's two spots about oh foot and a half each 486 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 3: where I can see that the water just moved right 487 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 3: over from the car to the wall and what the cement, 488 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 3: and it immediately started to peel from from the inside. 489 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 3: I think it was designed to keep the water from 490 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 3: the outside coming in. 491 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: Well, are you are you sure it was you're sure 492 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: of the paint that was used? Are you positive? 493 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,479 Speaker 3: That's not really, but it's it's it's fairly thick like 494 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 3: that paint is okay, And. 495 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: Usually that doesn't peel unless there's what they call efflorescence, 496 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: And efflorescence is a white, chalky like growth and that's 497 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: usually because the water has interacted with the lime and 498 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: the and the salts inside the concrete and creates this 499 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: crystallized bloom which pushes the paint off. So you would 500 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: you would scrape it off, you would wash it. I know. 501 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: Quick Creed again makes an efflorescence cleaner, which does a 502 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: really good job of cleaning that concrete and getting any 503 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: residue off, and then you would go ahead and use 504 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: the paint that uh, you know that was used on there. 505 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: You know, a waterproofing paint. It sounds like a dry 506 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: lock product. Uh and and put that on there and 507 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: and you know it'll do a good job. I'm not 508 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: going to say that the efflorescence once that's activated, it 509 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: really has a tendency to continue to grow and blossom 510 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: and push paint off. But uh, that that's the way 511 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: I would repair that right now, Yes, super all right. 512 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 3: Well, I guess I got a job cut out for me, 513 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 3: supervising somebody to do it, because it doesn't sound like 514 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 3: anything I want to do, but it's. 515 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: There to go.

My 572 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,760 Speaker 11: wife and I are getting close to retirement and we 573 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 11: will probably build a new home. So instead of asking 574 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 11: a question about an existing problem, I wonder if you 575 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 11: have a resource to help in planning, vote for materials 576 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 11: and systems that would go into a new home. That 577 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 11: would just help us in that process. 578 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 1: Well, what kind of home would you be buying? Would 579 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,399 Speaker 1: you be buying it from a custom home builder? Would 580 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,240 Speaker 1: you be buying it from somebody that does track homes? 581 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: Are you going to general contract it yourself. 582 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 11: Or well probably work with a builder to build it. 583 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 11: We have some we have some property. 584 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 2: I grew up on a farm. 585 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 11: In central Kentucky, Okay, uh and have an opportunity to 586 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 11: move back. 587 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: Uh. 588 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 11: To that farm. Okay, so we're in the process. We 589 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 11: found a house plan that we like that is conducive, 590 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 11: conducive to us as we get older. Sure, and but 591 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 11: we're just looking to in addition to getting a reputable builder, 592 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 11: to try to find a good resource to tell us 593 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 11: what type of systems, what the plan to put in 594 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 11: the house, uh, to make it efficient, to make it 595 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 11: uh water tight, and all all those things that. 596 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: You Yeah, I would say, now this will sound like 597 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: a weird answer to your your builder is probably the 598 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: place to go if you you said the words, if 599 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,439 Speaker 1: we can find the right builder. And that's why I 600 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: was asking. When you go with a track builder, you 601 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: have some options. You don't have a lot of options. 602 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: It depends on the builder too. If you've got the 603 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: land and you're going to hire a builder, finding that 604 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: builder is key. I've had a very very good custom 605 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: home builder on this show multiple times out of my 606 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 1: hometown called Wheeling Builders, and you know, they have so 607 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: many options, and he goes to the International Builder Show 608 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: and he you know, he talks options. You got the plans. 609 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 1: When I built my home, I went kind of the 610 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: same way. I got my wife and I we got 611 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: the plans. We got the layout that we won. This 612 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: is you know now twenty six years ago, and and 613 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: our builder, you know, we had we had options, we 614 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: we he gave us a lot of different options, and 615 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 1: then we just had some once you know, I mean 616 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: quite honestly, you know, I mean, floorings are once. But 617 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 1: you know, if you're building when you're retiring, obviously your 618 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: wants and desires are going to change over the next 619 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 1: twenty five years, right, I mean, you know, we're going 620 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: to become less mobile and there. 621 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 11: We're looking for things that, yeah, that would be more 622 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 11: on one level, that would be more conducive to us 623 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 11: as we get older and sure, and but just looking 624 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 11: for a good resource. But if that builder is revutable 625 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 11: and familiar with that, I'm fine with that. I just 626 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,439 Speaker 11: didn't know if there was an additional resource yees, yeah, 627 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 11: able to help us uncover some unknown. 628 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 1: Well here's what I here's here's one of the things 629 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: that just popped in my mind too. And I've had 630 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: them on as a guest, but it's probably been ten 631 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 1: years and maybe Danny will remember. But what there is 632 00:38:54,560 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: a just uh maybe even Google Senior Living, not requirements, 633 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 1: but ideas. I remember having this person on and them 634 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,359 Speaker 1: talking about flooring. That's what jumped in my head when 635 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: I said something about flooring. You know, as we get older, 636 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: carpet can be kind of a deterrent for walking, whereas 637 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 1: a wood floor or a LVT floor, where it's smooth, 638 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: it becomes a non tripping hazard. Okay, so that was 639 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 1: a yeah. And then they talked about lever locks instead 640 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: of knobs, And then they talked about pull out drawers 641 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: and cabinets rather than trying to get down and you know, 642 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 1: put pots and pans on the bottom shelf. I can't 643 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 1: remember what that website was. I can tell you there 644 00:39:54,680 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: are there there there are active websites out there for it, 645 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 1: but I don't have one to give you. But if 646 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 1: that's a concern, you know, and I would say that 647 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 1: would be a good idea, you know, just talking about it. 648 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: Talks about doorways and you know, rather than having a 649 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: thirty inch storway, maybe it's a thirty six inch storway 650 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: something on those lines. So I would and I'll look 651 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 1: it up during the break at the top of the 652 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: hour two and might talk about it if IVE finds 653 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 1: something interesting. But so if it's from that perspective, that 654 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,399 Speaker 1: might be something you delve into because that builder may 655 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:43,319 Speaker 1: not be familiar with those kinds of issues. Outside of that. 656 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: When we did ours, you know, we had the plans, 657 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: but then we you know, the builder had his architect 658 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 1: and we had probably six revisions of the architect of 659 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 1: the house because he had some ideas to save money 660 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: and things we could think about, and you know, the 661 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:12,760 Speaker 1: architect in the builder those initial meetings. I kept telling 662 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: my wife that too, because I had experience in building stuff. 663 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 1: I was like, this is this is critical. These decisions 664 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: now are critical because you don't want to get into 665 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,320 Speaker 1: a deal where you got all the drawings. You're working 666 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: with a builder and then you start changing stuff all 667 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: the time, and that drives u nuts, it drives the 668 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: builder nuts, and then you got to keep pract of 669 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 1: all that and so you know, having a a good 670 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: conversation and a good rapport with the architect. We had 671 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: a gal who was fantastic. She was very patient, and 672 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: she was going a little bit more ornate or more 673 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: of a cozy house than we wanted. We wanted more 674 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: of an open house and community cating that. It's so critical. 675 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: So getting the right architect from from that builder and 676 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: having that conversation I think are key. I think they 677 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,240 Speaker 1: really are key. So I hope that helps. 678 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 11: Yeah, it does. And you know, the only other thing 679 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 11: is you mentioned I was listening as I was driving. 680 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,879 Speaker 11: You mentioned laying in bed and trying to figure out 681 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 11: how old is my roof? Look at a system that 682 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 11: doesn't need to be replaced, you know, or not in 683 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 11: my lifetime anyway. 684 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: Sure. Yeah, well those are really good questions to ask too. 685 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: And when you start having those conversations, if you want 686 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: a second opinion, I'll be happy to share them with you. 687 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,719 Speaker 1: I mean, what we're talking about. And because whenever you 688 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 1: talk about non replacement, Yeah, you can get a shingled 689 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 1: roof right now, that's going to give you. I mean 690 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 1: I've seen some that are above thirty five year warranties, 691 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 1: but they're going to be pro rated now. But you 692 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 1: could get a metal roof that might have a fifty 693 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: year warranty, and even on an asphalt shingle roof with 694 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 1: a good thirty year warranty, I mean, you're going to 695 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: get at least twenty five out of that. I would think. 696 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 1: In other words, there's some really good shingles out there now. 697 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 1: But if you want really want the you know, like 698 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,400 Speaker 1: a metal roof with a fifty year you know, you 699 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: got to figure it's going to cost you a two 700 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: and a half cons act. And then it comes into 701 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,919 Speaker 1: a financial decision too. Ask a lot of questions. Make 702 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: sure that the builder you're choosing that you're going to 703 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 1: have a lot of conversations before a shovel ever hits 704 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 1: the dirt. That would be my advice. And if it's 705 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 1: about senior living, just check out and see if there 706 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 1: is a website. I'll do the same and keep listening. 707 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll have something to ad on the other side 708 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 1: of the brink.
