If you would 13 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: like to join us in the show, we're talking about 14 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: your home and projects you're thinking about tackling. Maybe a 15 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: little maintenance that needs to happen. I'll tell you a 16 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: maintenance thing real quick. Where I met We're going to 17 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: have It's been very nice. It's been pretty much in 18 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: the sixties for two months. It feels like I've had 19 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: a couple of colder ones, a couple of warmer ones, 20 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: but overall the everaging right in there. Well, it's going 21 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: to get cold now. We got the first big cold 22 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: snap coming. And I always tell you two times a 23 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: year you want to pay attention to the garage door 24 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 1: and the mechanisms on the garage door. I'm talking about 25 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: the hinges, the roller, the track, the springs need lubrication. 26 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: I'll usually tell you going into the coldest months of 27 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: the year and going into the warmest months of the year, 28 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: that's when they're most stresses on that mechanism. And do not, 29 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: under any circumstance use a grease. I would not use 30 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: an overly refined oil. What you really need is they 31 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: do have In fact, I know Blaster has a garage 32 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: door lubricant. If you can't find that, and you shouldn't 33 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: have any trouble finding, but if you can't, my next 34 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: alternatives would be a teflon or a silicone. And you 35 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: want to clean those areas like the track first, the rollers, 36 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: you can clean it with a little mineral spirits and 37 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: a cotton cloth at all the dust out any of 38 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: the stickiness. A lot of times we accumulate a lot 39 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: of gunk in those tracks and in those rollers and 40 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: kind of wipe off the hinges too, But give those 41 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: a little douse, a little squirt if you will. They 42 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: come in aerosols. Run the door up and down a 43 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: few times in your set. You'll have a couple of benefits. 44 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: You will protect it from corrosion, it will run quieter, 45 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: and you'll take a lot of stress off that garage door. 46 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: So put that on your list. Whether you're having a 47 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: cold snap this coming week or not, you're gonna it's 48 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna get cold, so going into the colder months, we 49 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: want to get that particular thing addressed. And while you're there, 50 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: I mentioned this a lot, but it it's a nice 51 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: little feature to keep mice out of the garage, which 52 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: can eventually allow the mice to get in the house. 53 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: And that is the seal at the bottom of the door. 54 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: Get those replaced. They usually slide into a track. Nope, 55 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: they're not the easiest thing in the world to get 56 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: in and out. But again, if you slide the old 57 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: one out, maybe it's not centered anymore, maybe it's split. 58 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: Pulling that out, wiping down those tracks that that seal 59 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: slides into. And again, a little lubricant like a teflon 60 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: or a silicone would be very beneficial and it usually 61 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: takes two sets of hands of slide the new one in, 62 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: and if it's a cool day, just taking a hair 63 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: dryer and warming up that seal will be helpful. If 64 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: you have a close pay door, you're in luck because 65 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: in the close paid doors they haven't changed that seal. 66 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: I think they have the same seal. They used it 67 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: like almost one hundred years ago. So how about that. 68 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: Other ones will have You'll need a model number. Take 69 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: a look at the configuration of the tracks where the 70 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: seal slides in. But it helps keep cold air out 71 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: of the garage. It helps keep the mice out. And 72 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: if it's been a while or maybe it's something you've 73 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: never done, I'd put that on your list. All right, 74 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: let me give you the phone number. The phone lines 75 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: are wide open and you can go ahead and grab 76 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: a line. It's eight hundred eight two three eight two 77 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: five five. That's eight hundred eight two three a two 78 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: five five. Also, when we hear cold weather cold snap coming, 79 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: that means your house is going to be drying out. 80 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: I think last week we had a lady call and say, man, 81 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: I got moisture all over my windows and it was out, 82 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: it was outside, and I was talking well you got 83 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: the humidity, and our homes on the inside are drying out, 84 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: and you got different temperatures inside. Now, a lot of 85 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: us have furnaces on. Some of us listening still I 86 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: have air conditioning on. But when you get into that 87 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: transitional period, you're going to have a lot of water, 88 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: a lot of condensation on the windows on the outside 89 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: of the house. I'm not worrying about that unless it's 90 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: on the inside of the house. Okay, it's It'll all 91 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: go away. Everything's going to dry out. When it gets 92 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: dry outside, that condensation, that water vapor will just dissipate, 93 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: won't be a problem. So keep that in mind. If 94 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: it's on the inside of the house, the first thing 95 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: I want you to check is make sure the windows 96 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: are locked. The second thing I want you to check, 97 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: and I've been preaching this for a long time it 98 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: solves a lot of problems, is check what your home 99 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: humidity is. 100 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: Like. 101 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: We've been, like I said, in the fifties and sixties, 102 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: maybe dipping down to a low to mid forties at night, 103 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: and when you start getting below freezing, your home humidity 104 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: should be thirty five to four. If it's in fifty 105 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: five sixty percent which it usually is in the summer. 106 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: You're going to find compensation on the inside of the 107 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: windows and that means we need to really work on 108 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: drawing that house out, all right, So a couple tips 109 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: for you there. Let's go to micro Fest and then 110 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: we'll get Ron Wilson in and Mike Welcome, Good morning, 111 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: How are you doing fine? Thank you. 112 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 3: Great, Thanks for taking my call. You bet, I have 113 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 3: an older home that I purchased. This was made built 114 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 3: by a guy from Sweden and he must have been 115 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 3: a mason because the stone work on the outside of 116 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: the house is just absolutely fabulous and unique. Never seen 117 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 3: anything like it. But between that stone facad and the 118 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 3: stud walls, there's a gap in between there, and I 119 00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 3: know it's purposely to drain any condensation that would accumulate 120 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 3: on the backside of the stone. There's a certain name 121 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 3: for that, and they sometimes have wheepholes allow that moisture to. 122 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: Train out correct. 123 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 3: The question I have is the studs that are on 124 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 3: the interior, you know, of the house. There's no installation 125 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 3: in there and wondering so they have some kind of 126 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 3: a sheathing that they used back I think in the forties. 127 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 3: That's on the outside you know, against or facing where 128 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 3: that stone forcat is and then we have the cavity, 129 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 3: the wall cavities, and so I'm wondering what kind of 130 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 3: installation I should put in there. 131 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: So when was the home? What is the home age 132 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: of the home? But what year was that? Builty of 133 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:52,239 Speaker 1: any idea. 134 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 3: I think it was in the forties, possibly. 135 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, So probably one of the biggest things that the 136 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: biggest energy hog for homes that were built prior to 137 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: like nineteen seventy five, is the cavities in the home 138 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: on the exterior walls that aren't insulated. And there's a 139 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: company in your city, USA Insulation that will drill into 140 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: those cavities and under low pressure pump a foam in 141 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: which will fill the gap. They'll tell you you know 142 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: how big the gap is, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, 143 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: And for about an inch, you'll get about an R 144 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: seven rating for the insulation. So some of them just 145 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: have a half inch and that's okay, it gets rid 146 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: of the draft. Other ones have, you know, one in 147 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: two inches, which is fine. That can get you up 148 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: to an R fourteen, pretty close to where you know, 149 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: Department of Energy would like to see it. So that's 150 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: what you would use in those cavities. 151 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 3: So the framework of the house is standard two by 152 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 3: four construction, and so if I'm looking from the inside 153 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 3: of the house, I would normally have sheet rock and 154 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 3: then the wall cavity, and then there's some type of 155 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 3: but it almost looks like particle board, but it's not. 156 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 3: It's some other type of covering they use on the 157 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 3: outside wall right back in the forties. And then there's 158 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 3: a there's a gap between that and the stone for 159 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 3: cod So I'm looking to fill the inside wall cavity, 160 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 3: which would be a standard two by four, So that 161 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 3: would be a foam insulation I put. 162 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: In, yeah, yeah, yeah, and then they would well, they 163 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: would install it.

Where it is transitional time of year, 406 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: uh now getting to a point where maybe a little 407 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: colder months coming up and our home is going to 408 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: dry out. One of the things when we get this 409 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: transitional period and we forget about it. And that is 410 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: maybe you have been running your d umidifier in your basement. 411 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: You may still need it, or you may not need it, 412 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: but I would check to see where my humidity level 413 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: is in my basement. You want to be this time 414 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: of year in a basement thirty five to fifty percent, 415 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: first floor thirty five to forty percent. And as it 416 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: starts drying out to a point where all of a sudden, 417 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: maybe your house running at twenty to twenty five percent 418 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: and it's uncomfortable and our skin is dry, you may 419 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: want to be adding humidity to your home. And if 420 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: you happen to have a humid afire on your furnace 421 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: where it's dispensing water, that needs maintenance every year. That 422 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: pad inside there needs to be changed. It's about ten 423 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: inches by ten inch pad. The water needs to be 424 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: turned on. You'll see a little copper pipe going up 425 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: to a copper line. Turn that on and then they 426 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: change the direction of the airflow so that that air 427 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: that has now got some moisture and it is being 428 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: distributed in the house. They're always marked, uh, winter liver 429 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: goes this way, summer liver goes that way and then 430 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: you'll see the little copper line going to the water line. First, 431 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: change your filter usually snaps on and off the cover, 432 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: very easy to do. You can get them at the 433 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: hardware store. Different than the furnace field for sure, but 434 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: change that out and then put it back together. Turn 435 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: the water on and change the airflow and start managing 436 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: your umidity from dry to a little bit more comfortable, 437 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: a little bit more damp. You want to be around 438 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: thirty five percent on the first floor of your home 439 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: during the winter months. All right, you got the phone number, 440 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: grab a line and we got oul a'l. 441 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 2: Welcome Jerry, great show as always, Thank you, quick quick, 442 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 2: you're walking sir. Two quick questions Garry. 443 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 6: We have. 444 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,479 Speaker 2: A three year old asphalt shingled roof and we do 445 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 2: not have a drip edge along one edge, and the 446 00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 2: shingles were overlapping about an inch in three quarter and 447 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 2: I was going to put some metal drip edge material 448 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 2: underneath them, but unfortunately the sun got to the shingles 449 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 2: and they're bent over. Now that you know, then over 450 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 2: the edge of the roof. My question to you, I'm 451 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: going to wait till the weather we're I'm probably next 452 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 2: year project. When the sun heats the shingles up, you 453 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 2: send the issues with a couple of us rebinding the 454 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 2: the edge of the shingle up probably about ninety degrees, 455 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,959 Speaker 2: installing a drift edge underneath it. Enter, Am I going 456 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 2: to create problems with. 457 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: The Yeah, you're going to be able to tell where 458 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: the breaking point on that shingle is. I think ninety 459 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: degrees might be a little aggressive. Oh really, And then 460 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 1: of course it also depends on how much shingle you have, 461 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: how warm it is. I mean, there's a lot of 462 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: variables in there. Understand you know, if you get what 463 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: are you going to use like sheet aluminum or something 464 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 1: like that, and cut strips. 465 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 2: And there's these these manufactured i'll call them out of 466 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 2: a better word of T shape. There's a okay, you know, 467 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 2: it's angled, and then there's maybe two and a half 468 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 2: three inches that slight up underneath the single there's an 469 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 2: inch or so that I would support the shingle, and 470 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 2: then kind of kind of l shape if you will, 471 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 2: a drip edge that comes up. It's been out at 472 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 2: the bottom to divert the droughts away from the structure. 473 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: Sure visualize that yeah, I think the ninety degrees is 474 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: going to be a little difficult and depending. I think 475 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: you just got to get up there with that strip 476 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: and see what you can do. I don't think you're 477 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: going to need to move it up ninety degrees, to 478 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: be honest with you. Usually if you just get a 479 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: little bit of lift on that, I don't I'm trying 480 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: to think maybe thirty degrees or something like that. Okay, 481 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: you can work that in there. 482 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 2: Make sure what you're saying. 483 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: I don't know how back. It depends where they've nailed 484 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: them and things like that, but I think when you 485 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: play with it, it's going to come. It's going to 486 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: be you're going to figure out how much you can 487 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: get away with you You can tell when you're getting 488 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: to that breaking point on a shingle. And it also 489 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: depends on the age of the shingle too. I mean 490 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: that's how roofs fail as those shingles get very brittle 491 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: and they cry and honestly crack and fracture without any help. 492 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: So you know, making them as pliable as you can, uh, 493 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: even though they got some years on them. But again, 494 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: I think you're just going to know by the resistance 495 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: on how far you're gonna get away with it? 496 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 2: Good tip? 497 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: Good? 498 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I tell you what. I'll wait till the weather 499 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 2: worms up next year to tack a load project. But 500 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 2: appreciate that insight. I got one other quick question for 501 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 2: you pertaining the ball valves that are in the ground 502 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 2: in a in a you know, in a box. Lid 503 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 2: of the metal handles are rested off in your trails. 504 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 2: You ever seen any like stainless steel replacement handles for 505 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 2: ball valves? 506 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: No, I haven't seen any. I'm not saying they don't exist. 507 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: I have not seen them. I have not seen them. 508 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: How old are that. 509 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 2: You know they're there? It could be about twenty five 510 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 2: years old. I'm not shirt. And we bought the house us. 511 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 2: I'm not certain when the when they were installed, but 512 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 2: the house is twenty five years old, so let's say 513 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 2: twenty five years ago, right, and they no handles have 514 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 2: croded off. But I think I when I'm at the 515 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 2: big box stores, I'll have a look and see what 516 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 2: might be. 517 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll look them up to I just never had 518 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: that need. Does it have a plastic sleeve over it? 519 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: Or is it just steal right now? 520 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 2: At one? You know, I can't tell they literally dissolved. Okay, 521 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,239 Speaker 2: at one point it looks like it did have like 522 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 2: a plastic sleeve over the metal, you know, like grip 523 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 2: the handle or something like that. 524 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, one of the things you might be 525 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: able to do. And again it depends on how far 526 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: they've rusted, whether it's surface rush or a scale or 527 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: rough or the hand about ready to break. But if 528 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: it's not to a breaking point, you can get a 529 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: product like rust Reformer and you can spray that rust 530 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: reformer onto that rusted piece of steel and it actually 531 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: locks that rust into that handle and it functions as 532 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: a preventive to rust. As a primer. You don't have 533 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: to paint them. You can just simply spray them with 534 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: a rust reformer. It's not a paint. It's actually a 535 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: chemical that creates a chemical reaction with the iron oxide 536 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: which seals that in and protects that. 537 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 2: You said, rust Reformer is the brand name. 538 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a couple of them. Rust Onim even makes one. 539 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: I think there's this called rust neutralizer, But there's a 540 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: couple of them where brush them on. You can spray 541 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: them on and that'd be a good preventive if they 542 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: if we don't have those handles. 543 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. That's a good point. I'll 544 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 2: do some do some research. I'll Internet university and see 545 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 2: what I can scare up then. But it was always 546 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 2: appreciate your insight and it was good to talk with you. 547 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir.

It looks like some of these stainless 592 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: replacement levers or anywhere really from about thirteen dollars to 593 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 1: twenty two dollars. So it depends on the valve, the 594 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,720 Speaker 1: size and everything else. But you know, just a quick 595 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: glance over at Amazon, they do have them, so you know, 596 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: might check their out and take a look and see 597 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: what kind of valve you have and which one you need. 598 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Gary. Gary. 599 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 6: Welcome, Yes, Sarah, thanks for taking my call. I'm hearing 600 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 6: Adams kunning way. I have nice rainfalls all the time, 601 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 6: and our gravel driveway will wash away quite easily, especially 602 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 6: on a slight slope. But I saw the other year 603 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 6: ago there's a grating you can put down that is 604 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 6: like a mosaic. I earned it. Material can be steel 605 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 6: even but I seem classic on soup. The onus what 606 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 6: I saw were pretty thin. And what you could do 607 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 6: is lay this grating over over the let's ground even 608 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 6: with gravel. Uh fill the holes with gravel so to speak. 609 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 1: Right, so it's kind of holding it together, right. 610 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 6: But I can't find anything like that. It's it's less 611 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 6: than like a inch deep. That's too deep. I don't 612 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 6: need that deep of a four add or plastic to 613 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 6: be uh be an iron uh an iron ware or 614 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 6: some type like the pattern like a. 615 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: Check with the Have you checked with the company that 616 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: you have maybe used for gravel gravel and see you 617 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: know what kind of options they have. I know there 618 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: is a screening kind I call it, but you call 619 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: it mosaic or something to kind of hold things in place. 620 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 1: And you know, you say you don't need an inchat 621 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: what determines how deep you need. 622 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 6: That well, just that that the gravel can so to speak, 623 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 6: maybe maybe a quarter inch so that so that everything 624 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 6: stays in place even and it allows water to drain through. 625 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 6: So you don't you don't need to pave the driveway, right, 626 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,240 Speaker 6: you just relay this out and fill with gravel, usually 627 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,879 Speaker 6: even a fifty seven gravel. But maybe do. 628 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: You use the gravel with the limestone packing in there. 629 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 6: Now? Because the way it works. 630 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: Well, So your question to me is where do you 631 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 1: get one that isn't as deep? And my question is, yeah, 632 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 1: I can't direct to the exact place. But what I 633 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 1: would do is I go back to my gravel provider 634 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: and see what kind of options you have. 635 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 6: Well, they're the career out here. But then the minards 636 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 6: and looked at their stuff and they really didn't have 637 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 6: anything either. But then just like a paving uh at us, 638 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 6: which is just too much? 639 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: Could would it be better to maybe? Uh? And again 640 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: I can't see the lay of the land there, so 641 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: I apologize Gary, but maybe even adding like a culvert 642 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: pipe or a French drain you know before where the 643 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 1: water actually crosses the driveway to just minimize would be interesting. 644 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 6: But uh, I have, well the gravel, right, now helps 645 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 6: drain slat flatly, and it seems to be easier that 646 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 6: way to drain at this point in time without any 647 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 6: extra piping laying around. So yeah, I'll tell you a resource. 648 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,959 Speaker 1: But no, the only thing I would do is rather 649 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: than like a minards or a home depot, I would 650 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: even if you had to go away from your area, 651 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: uh you know, a rural area where you could get 652 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: into more of a construction place and have pictures and 653 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: maybe design on the kind of slope you have, and 654 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,240 Speaker 1: if they get some input or have some different type 655 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: of it wouldn't really be a fabric, but something that 656 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 1: would slow down the erosion. 657 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 6: Right, Okay, thank you very much, appreciate. 658 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: Welcome you bet all right, and Ronda welcome. 659 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 7: Hello, Yes, thank you. I am calling because my husband 660 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 7: and I, for the first time in our lives, are 661 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,040 Speaker 7: living in a house without a basement. We have a 662 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,919 Speaker 7: craw space, all right, and we live in Michigan right 663 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 7: off of Lake Urum where it gets very cold in 664 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 7: the winter, and we have a lot of windshells that 665 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 7: are very cold. Should we close the vents in our 666 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,240 Speaker 7: crawl space for the winter or leave them open? 667 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: Right now? Most of the crawl spaces that are being 668 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 1: built are unventilated. They're you know, and then I go 669 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: always go back to the old theory. Don't fix it 670 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: if it's not broken. Right, if you were going to 671 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,839 Speaker 1: build that home now, they were not vented, and they 672 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,839 Speaker 1: would totally encapsulate that. And what I mean by that 673 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 1: is they would put insulation on the walls that would 674 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:50,240 Speaker 1: be beneath grade, and they would also create a large 675 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: vapor barrier and insulation on the floor of that crawl space, 676 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: whether it's mother or earth or gravel, which would minimize 677 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:02,320 Speaker 1: moisture from coming up and accumulate into the cross space. 678 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm assuming the cross space does not have problems with 679 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: water that's ponding in the cross space, and it doesn't 680 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: have a sump pump or anything along those lines. 681 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:19,879 Speaker 7: Deserve the pump, but it's always dry, good, there's nothing in. 682 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:26,359 Speaker 1: It wonderful, and test that occasionally. I would always test that, 683 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:31,240 Speaker 1: you know, only takes that one pig grain to cause problems. 684 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 7: Put water in the. 685 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you get a five gallon pound, just kind 686 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: of pour it in. Make sure, you know, activates and 687 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:43,760 Speaker 1: pumps because not being used, you know, those seals get brittle. 688 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 1: So testing it a couple of times a year. Probably 689 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: not a bad idea. But it's good that the floor 690 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 1: is dry. But how long have you had the house. 691 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 7: Just since June? 692 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: All right, well, let's do this. I mean, is is 693 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: there any insulation down in that cross space, like underneath 694 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 1: the floor or anything. 695 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 7: There's a vapor barrier on the floor. Okay, there's no 696 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:12,800 Speaker 7: insulation on the floor. 697 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, okay, Well why don't you why don't 698 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,879 Speaker 1: you live through it for a year? Okay, and let's 699 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 1: see where we're at. Maybe get something down there, like 700 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 1: a humidity gauge and thermometer. Even if you have a 701 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 1: little weather station with the remote where you can put 702 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 1: the remote down in the cross space, you can get 703 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: the temperature, you can get the humidity, and just kind 704 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: of monitor where you are in the wintertime. If it's 705 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 1: pretty humid, and it's probably not going to be with 706 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:50,280 Speaker 1: that vapor barrier on the floor, but it might be cold. 707 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,360 Speaker 1: And if you're gonna leave it that way, what you 708 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: might want to do is seal up. You know, if 709 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 1: the umity is were low, you might want to seal 710 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 1: up those ventilation areas and then also use insulation on 711 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: the underside. Of the floor facing the living quarters. 712 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 7: Okay, my worry is pipes freezing. 713 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 1: Well, any exposed pipes certainly are going to with no 714 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 1: insulation there certainly could be you know, a problem area. 715 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: I would definitely get those covered. And I definitely get 716 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: a like I said, a thermometer and some and a humidifier. 717 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: You mid a stat down there where you can see 718 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 1: what's going on. I think that's critical. So very good. 719 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 1: Thank you much for the call. I appreciate it.
