A healthy, happy home. Easy 5 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: Breathe creates air exchange units, so it removes dirty, stagnant air, 6 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: pulls it out of the house, replaced by the air 7 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: on the upper floors. Check it out for yourself. It's 8 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: letter E, letter Z breathe dot com. All right, another 9 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: hour getting some things done around the home. The phone 10 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: lines are wide open. Let me give you that phone number. 11 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: Go ahead and grab a line. It's eight hundred eight 12 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: two three eight two five five. That's eight hundred eight 13 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: two three eight two five five. And we're talking about 14 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: your home. So what are you gonna work on? I mean, man, 15 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: at least where I'm at, and I imagine a lot 16 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: of locals have experienced kind of the same thing. It's 17 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: been a tough winter pretty much all over outside maybe 18 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: the west. Are you know, it seems like if it's 19 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: bad in the east, it's good in the west. If 20 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: it's you know, if it's bad in the west, it's 21 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: good in the east. That's just the way it works, 22 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: I think for the most part. So we've had kind 23 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: of a tough winner and a lot of clean up 24 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: going on. There's gonna be a lot of repair going 25 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: on this spring, I can assure you that. And uh, 26 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: now we're kind of poisoned in main parts of the 27 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: country for spring rains, and of course that's going to 28 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: mean uh some issues. Whether it's the roof, whether it's 29 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: the foundation, whether it's cracks in the driveway, whether it's 30 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: mold on the deck. You know, that's all kind of 31 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: weather related. So we'll be taking a lot of calls 32 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: on that. And if you're you know, maybe starting to 33 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: see some moisture intrusion, let's talk about that. Or maybe 34 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: as you're taken that walk around the home, maybe start 35 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: seeing some peeling pain or rotting wood. We need to 36 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: talk about that because right now, you know, I was 37 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: talking about all of a sudden, we have a well, 38 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: nobody just has a mouse in the house. We have 39 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: probably multiple mice in the high house. Easy for me 40 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: to say. But other things are looking also to nest 41 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: in homes. Raccoons, squirrels looking at the soffits and facia 42 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: boards around the gutters. Maybe those gutters got clogged with ice. 43 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: Maybe you had an ice dam, maybe water got behind 44 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: the gutters, maybe you got some facia rot. Well, if 45 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: you do that as an invite, that is definitely an invite. 46 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: Eight for wildlife to kind of start scratching that wood. 47 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: Maybe pull that wood out and get inside the house. 48 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: Pay attention to that. It's expensive to remove them, and 49 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: it's more expensive to repair the problem. All right, So 50 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 1: grab a line again. It's eight hundred eight two three 51 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: eight two five five Chris. Welcome, Hey, Chris, yes, uh, 52 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: how you doing good? Good? Thank you? Hey. 53 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: I had a walk in shower put in and when 54 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: they shut the water off, they didn't turn it off 55 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: at the main valve. I had like a little valve 56 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: that they shut off right at the hot water tank. Well, 57 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: when they put everything. 58 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: Back together and turn it on, the hot water tank 59 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 3: started making a little noise, and it's been getting worse. 60 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 3: I just wondered if that turning it back on, if 61 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 3: that caused all the pressure to stir up all settlement 62 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 3: in the tank or could be bad. 63 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: Howl is a water tank. 64 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 3: Probably eight years now? 65 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, if you said twelve plus, I would have said, well, 66 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: it's probably a combination of hard water deposits and an 67 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: old tank. But if we've got it where it's eight 68 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: years old, it could it probably is one or two things. 69 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: When you get that rumbling sound, it's either temperature setting 70 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: and most people don't mess with that anymore, or it's 71 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: hard water deposits in the tank. So it sounds like 72 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: that's the case, So maybe just try this. Just drain 73 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: a little water. You don't have to shut off any valves. 74 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: You do have to open a valve, and that's the 75 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: valve at the bottom of the tank, and let's just 76 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: bleed some water off and take a look at that 77 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: water so you can connect the hose if you'd like. 78 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: Maybe if you got a drain right there, you can 79 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: turn it on and just see what the water looks like. 80 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: Maybe it's brown and murky, and if it is, that's 81 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: probably what you're hearing. You know. The old adage is 82 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: the plumber. It takes one person to bring the new 83 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: water heater down in two to get the old one out, 84 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: because it's filled with hard water deposits and rocks. So 85 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: let's drain off a couple gallons and see what it 86 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: looks like and kind of go from there. Now I'm 87 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: gonna caution you. If it's eight years old and we've 88 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: never drained that before. Those valves at the bottom of 89 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: the tank are probably the cheapest valves mankind has ever made. 90 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: So sometimes they get clogged. Uh, sometimes you gotta you know, 91 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: you know, coat hanger up through the valve, or maybe 92 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 1: you do have to drain it and replace the valve. 93 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: So you know, I just want to caution you on 94 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 1: that there maybe some things that we'll you know, cause 95 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: it a little bit more working to go on. 96 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 3: So turn a tank, turn the water flow to the 97 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 3: tank off first, and see what comes out. 98 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: Well, if you don't necessarily have to drain it all 99 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: the way at first, I would just let's make a 100 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: let's make a little discovery that that, in fact, there 101 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: is hard water in there. So if you drain off 102 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: two or three gallons and all of a sudden that 103 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: water starts running clear, I'd let it be. If it 104 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: keeps draining, you know, in the four gallons and it's 105 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: still brown, yeah, I would go ahead and you know, 106 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: follow the process of shutting down the tank, turning it off, 107 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: and you know, draining it out. See what you. 108 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 4: Got, Okay, I appreciate your help. 109 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: All right, Chris, thanks a lot, You're quite welcome. Take care. 110 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: And I forgot to ask whether it was gas or electric, 111 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: because the shutdown process is a little bit different. But 112 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: obviously we do want to open up some valves and 113 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: all that good stuff. But always i'd learned that lesson 114 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: probably the first year or two doing this show, somebody 115 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: had a question similar to that, and I said, well, 116 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: you just drain the water heater, you know, and it 117 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: tells you to drain the water here every year. Yeah, 118 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: But what I didn't say is, oh, if that thing's 119 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: twelve years old, you drain all your all the water 120 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: out of there. You might find out that that hard 121 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: water deposits actually holding your water heater together. And that's 122 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: that's true, so keep that in mind before you do it. 123 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: So now just send kind of top it off. Let's 124 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: let's see what kind of shape that water is in. 125 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: But usually that rumbling noise is hard water deposits. It 126 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: can certainly be other things, but that would be the 127 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: first thing that I would check into. All right, By 128 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: the way, at the bottom of the hour, no guests today, 129 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: We're going to have a whole bunch of guests at 130 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: the top of the hour. In fact, we're going to 131 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: kind of peruse the show, see what's news, see what's 132 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: out there that might interest you.

You'll find new and exciting things, 135 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll be able to talk a little bit 136 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: about some processes. For instance, the garage floor painting that yes, yes, 137 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: that is just really, really really a big thing right now, 138 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: and so we'll be chatting about that, So look forward 139 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: to that.

Rebecca welcome. All right. 195 00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 6: So calling regard to we purchased a home and the 196 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 6: deck that with the home. 197 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 7: They never treated it, painted it, stand it or whatever. 198 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 6: So we did that as I'm sorry, how. 199 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: Long ago was that deck built? You think? 200 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 7: It's hard to say, but it looked deepent, I mean, 201 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 7: it looked fine. 202 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 6: I powerwashed it, cleaned it up, and then I used 203 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 6: a semi transparent stain, okay, and it just didn't take. 204 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 6: It's peeling. 205 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 7: So I didn't know if could they have standed the 206 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 7: plank so smooth because it was very walkable that the 207 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 7: stain didn't have any pores to adhere, and that's the 208 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 7: reason it's peeling. 209 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: Well, what was the deck stain? I don't need a 210 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: brand name. Was it a water based stain or an 211 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: oil based stain? Or which was it? 212 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 6: I believe it was a water bait? 213 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: Okay, well, okay, and you pressure washed it, and how 214 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: long did you wait before you applied to water based deck. 215 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 7: Stain a decent amount of time because it was summer 216 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 7: and the sun was out. 217 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: I mean decent amount of time is two days or two. 218 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 7: Hours probably the next day, okay, all right, okay, oh, 219 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 7: because I think I power washed it and then chose 220 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 7: the paint colors and everything, so yeah, there was time 221 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 7: in between. 222 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: Okay. So when it's peeling, there's one or two things 223 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: that's going on, okay, because a semi transparent stain is 224 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: obviously supposed to penetrate and you should see the wood 225 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: grain and it should change the color. But it's not 226 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,239 Speaker 1: gonna look like pain. It's not gonna be a solid film. 227 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: When it's peeling. It's telling me a it's not penetrating 228 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: into the wood. Why. I don't know why. Maybe it's 229 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: still too wet, but it doesn't sound like it is. 230 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: We did use a pressure washer, so we probably did 231 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: infuse a little water into it, but it's summertime, probably 232 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: going to dry out, and the crylic stain really really 233 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: only has to be on there for about two hours 234 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: after being wet, so that probably wouldn't be it. The 235 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: next thing is it didn't penetrate. Why didn't penetrate. Well, 236 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: maybe we put too much stain on so that it 237 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: actually did penetrate, but some of the surface was I'm 238 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: not saying there was so much stain on there it 239 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: would splash if you stepped your foot in it, but 240 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: it was too heavily applied. Some penetrate, some laid on 241 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: the surface, and the stuff that laid on the surface 242 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: peeled because it's not supposed to lay on the surface. 243 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: That's the only two things. It either didn't penetrate because 244 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: it couldn't penetrate, or it didn't penetrate because too much 245 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: was put on and it couldn't penetrate. 246 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 8: Okay, I wonder if too much was put on, and 247 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 8: probably first time painting a deck, I wouldn't know that 248 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 8: one coat was just needed. 249 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. So, and it's it's different with different things too, Rebecca. 250 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: There's some brands that require you to put two very 251 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: thin coats on others it just says one coat. But 252 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: they all pretty much say, let's say, what did you 253 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: put it on with. 254 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 6: I used a the sponge, but also I got down 255 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 6: with all the sponge brush so that I could get 256 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 6: down into the Okay, cracks, I mean it's disappointing to 257 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 6: see because of my hard work. It's all labor intensive. 258 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: It's very labor intensive. So the way, so when I 259 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: talk about there's all kinds of applicators out, there's deck applicators, 260 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: there's tank sprayers, there's brushes, there's roller and everything. But 261 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: one thing I say, even if you use a tank 262 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: sprayer and you just miss the stain over the top, 263 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: I always say, if you're working and doing that, have 264 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: somebody with you. So you can be putting the stain 265 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: on with the tank sprayer, but make sure somebody else 266 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: is really brushing that in making sure there is no ponding, 267 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: no pulling, no surface stain left. Because you want to 268 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: work it into the wood, and you called me when 269 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: you first started that project. One thing I would have 270 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: recommended is probably not using a pressure washer. I probably 271 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: would recommend using a deck cleaner, which is an oxygenated bleach. 272 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: It's a powder you mix with water, you put it on, 273 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: you scrub it with like a street broom. You rinse it, 274 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: let it be, and then you would apply and this 275 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: was very important, then I would apply what they call 276 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: a deck brightener, especially since that deck's been sitting, you know, 277 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: and it's been vulnerable to the sun. A deck brightener 278 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: is axolic acid. It's a wood bleach, and it opens 279 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: up the pores in the wood to accept the stain 280 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: that you're putting in. So it opens up the capillaries 281 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: and sucks that stain down into the wood. And I 282 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: think that's a step in the mist. 283 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 6: Wow, where do I go from here? 284 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: Well, that's probably not a pleasant answer. 285 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 9: Area. 286 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: It's probably not a pleasant answer. Probably not a pleasant answer. Yeah, 287 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: So sanding is not really the best option. What you 288 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: do when you sand is you burnish the would Okay, 289 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,479 Speaker 1: so you're standing, you'll remove some of the loose stain, 290 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: but you're also kind of sealing that wood. You're kind 291 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: of burning the surface of that wood. What I would 292 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: like to see is more chemically remove it. There are 293 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: deck strippers out there, same place you bought the deck stain. 294 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: They got deck Brightener's deck cleaners and they got deck strippers. 295 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: I would use the deck stripper. By using the deck stripper, 296 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: it will remove the stain in it too, will automatically 297 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: open up the pores on that deck so that it'll 298 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: drink that stain. So that's what I would use. 299 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 8: All right, sound more work. 300 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: It is sorry to give you that news. All right, 301 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: good luck, Thank you very much. All right, you're quite welcome. 302 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: Thank you again.

Welcome. 362 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 10: Hello, thank you for taking my call. 363 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: You're welcome. 364 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 10: I am I live in Arkansas and I'm a wheelchair 365 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 10: user and I just inherited a home. It's twenty one 366 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 10: years old. I have lived in it for years before 367 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 10: I inherited it. It is on a steam slab and 368 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 10: the master bathroom has one of those pocket toilets, and 369 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 10: every winter when the weather gets say in the twenties, 370 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 10: it freezes. It's on the north wall and I don't 371 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 10: know much about it. On the outside wall close to it, 372 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 10: there is another outdoor closet that I put one of 373 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,479 Speaker 10: those styrofoam covers on, huh or I have somebody do that. 374 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 10: And there's a chakoozie tub right next to it that 375 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 10: doesn't freeze. The only solution I found a neighbor comes 376 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 10: and lifts the flap and puts something under it to 377 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 10: hold it up while it's that cold. But is there 378 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 10: anything else I could do to keep That's the only 379 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 10: thing in the house that freezes and when. 380 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,719 Speaker 1: It freezes it is it freezing the water in the 381 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: bowl or is it in the discharge or what are 382 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: the supply line or where's it freezing? 383 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 10: Well, I believe it's in the pipe. It's not in 384 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 10: the bowl or the tank. But when I go to 385 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 10: flush it, nothing happens. 386 00:23:54,560 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 1: Okay, So so, so it's not really the twilet, it's 387 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: the supply line that's feeding the toilet that's freezing. Correct. 388 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 5: Okay, that sounds. 389 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 10: And I also put a little space heater in there. 390 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 10: It's very small pocket, correct. 391 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: So I guess a little bit of a disadvantage if 392 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: we can narrow it down to where it's freezing. And 393 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: I think we've done that. So it's not really freezing 394 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: in the toilet, but the water that's coming into the 395 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: toilet is freezing. So that whatever wherever that pipe is exposed, 396 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: the the heater could be telling us something. You say, 397 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: it's a very small area. You put a a heater there, 398 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: but it didn't keep it from freezing. So maybe it's 399 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: the line that's beyond that. And I don't know where 400 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: that line is. 401 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 10: It is on a lab and I've had people look outside. 402 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 10: The only thing outside is the outside faucet which we cover, okay, 403 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 10: and inside is just that very short amount of pipes 404 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 10: that goes to the toilet. 405 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 4: That we can see. 406 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: So does the pipe come up through the cement slab? 407 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 10: No, it's coming through the wall. 408 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: It's coming through the wall. And is that what's on 409 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: the other side of that wall, that's the outdoors? 410 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 10: Yeah? 411 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm guessing now, and I'm I'm only guessing 412 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: because I can't see it. But if that pipe's coming 413 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: up through the slab into the wall and then coming 414 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: into the toilet, does that sound like that's what it go. 415 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 10: Yes, that sounds reasonable. 416 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: Okay, So we need to make sure that pipe is insulated. 417 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: Is there any insulation in that wall at all? Do 418 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: you know? 419 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 10: I would say my house doesn't have much insulation because 420 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 10: I can hear people clearly outside. When somebody mos, I 421 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 10: can smell it very strong. 422 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: And again, I'm guessing it's gonna be frozen in one 423 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: or two places. It's gonna be freezing underneath that slab, 424 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: which I doubt it. Okay, it can happen. I'm not 425 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: saying I doubt it would freeze. I'm just saying it 426 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: could happen. 427 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 10: But it's very There's also a bathtub and a shower 428 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 10: in there, and two things, and none of those freeze. 429 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 10: And the bathtub and the shower are both on the 430 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 10: north wall as well. 431 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: I think you got to open up that wall to 432 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: see where those pipes are if you want to keep 433 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: it from freezing. I mean, crazy things happen. I talked 434 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: about it. I had a a water pipe that froze 435 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: just to the bathtub, and I went up on Christmas morning, 436 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: of course many years ago. I went up and the 437 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: plumber had actually missed the wall cavity where the insulation was, 438 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: so it was exposed to the attic temperature and it 439 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 1: froze that pipe. So maybe those walls, you know, so 440 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: things we got it. You're just going to have to 441 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: find out where that source is. I think we've narrowed 442 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: it down. I would say, even though those other areas 443 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: having froze, I maybe those pipes are wrapped. Maybe those 444 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: pipes are in a wall cavity with insulation. I don't 445 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: know that, and you don't know that, but we know 446 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: that that pipe that's going you know, to another mechanism 447 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: is freezing, and it's in that pipe is freezing I'm 448 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: gonna guess that pipe's coming through that wall and it's 449 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: it's it's not insulated like when you open it up. 450 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 10: Question, is it still a plumber thing? Do I call 451 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 10: it plumber to check that? 452 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: You can sure? Yes, or you can cut that. Is 453 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 1: it dry wall or plaster? 454 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 10: It's drywall? But I'm a wheelchairer, I can't even get in. 455 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, if it's not a plumber, I mean you 456 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: can get a plumber, yes, if it's if you want 457 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: to get a handyman. They would cut the wall and 458 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: they would just do a diagnosis, right, they would say, 459 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, look at let's not worry about the 460 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: other ones not freezing. Let's just find out if that 461 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,959 Speaker 1: pipe is exposed. If it is, it gave us our answer. 462 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: So he cut the drywall or she would cut the drywall, 463 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: and they would probably put an insulating sleeve over that 464 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: exposed pipe. It probably eliminates your problem. 465 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 10: That would be fantastic. I mean, for now, the looting 466 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 10: of the flap. It costs a lot of water money, 467 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 10: but it's a lot cheaper than a Blurst pipe. 468 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. So my guess is so it's like 469 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: everything else in order to repair it. We got to 470 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: know what we're repairing. So I'm trying trying to give 471 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,239 Speaker 1: you a diagnosis without seeing where the problem is. But 472 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: it sure sounds yeah, it sure sounds like that would 473 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: be based on the way you describe it. That would 474 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: be the first place I'd look. 475 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 2: Okay. 476 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: And if he opens it up and it's if it's 477 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: all covered and all insult and I don't know, I'm 478 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: be scratching my head. And since they're on site, maybe 479 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: they can give you another option of where they think 480 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:00,239 Speaker 1: it is. 481 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 10: Okay. Great. You know, I've learned so much I hadn't 482 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 10: learned on hold. I didn't know there was a deck cleaner. 483 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 10: I warned so much from your program. Thank you so 484 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 10: much for what you do. 485 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: And you're quite welcome. Thank you, take care, Bye bye. 486 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: My wife loves it that I do this. Joe, you know, 487 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: why don't you? Because I'm out of there, Let's get 488 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: to Jack Jack Welcome. 489 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Gary, Yes sir, i'm calling. I'm calling 490 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 4: about my son's house. He bought a house I live 491 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 4: in outside of Cleveland, and he bought a house and 492 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 4: it had a mold in the ceiling, so we had it. 493 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 4: Whatever you call it redone removed and then coded and 494 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff. And when they were up there, 495 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 4: they kind of knocked down the insulation doing that in 496 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 4: the attic. It's a it's a it's a colonial house, okay. 497 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 4: And so he had noticed that last winter he moved 498 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 4: in in January, that on both sides, the front in 499 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 4: the back of the house in the middle, uh, not exactly, 500 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 4: not equal on both sides, but one a little bit 501 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 4: to the left, the other one to the right. On 502 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 4: the back, the snow was melting. So he had a 503 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago he had USA Insallation come in 504 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 4: and they filled it with R forty nine. 505 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: Building filled what the cavity. 506 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 4: Or the attica okay, the attic. And he also had 507 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 4: the what do you call those things that go against 508 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 4: the ceiling that vent the. 509 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: Area, Yeah, for the attic, the ventilation the addict Okay, yeah. 510 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 4: Right, Well, anyhow, you know, it snowed last week and 511 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 4: he's got the same problem. So there's like three feet 512 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 4: of snow three feet of insulation in the attic and 513 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 4: it's still having the same problem. 514 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: All right, all right, so you're why I figure out 515 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: what's going Why is that snow melting right, Well. 516 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I know it's got to be from heat. 517 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, but there's some weird things happen too. I 518 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: whenever I talk about ice dams and snow melting on roofs, 519 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: the quick answer, and which covers eighty five percent of 520 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: the things, is, you know, lack of insulation up there, 521 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: and that's heating the underbelly of the roof and you 522 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: get a melt. But if it's in specific blotches and 523 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: it sounds like it was, you know, no, just one. 524 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 4: It goes from lower the gutter is almost a little bit, 525 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 4: maybe a foot higher than the gutter all the way 526 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 4: up to the peak on both sides, but they're not 527 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 4: exactly you know, one would be like in a between 528 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 4: the beams on one side and maybe one or two 529 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 4: over on the back. 530 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: So let me ask you a couple things, and this 531 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: kind of gets in a weird category, the first one 532 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: not being too weird. A lot of times when we 533 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: see snow melt on occasion, it has nothing to do 534 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: with your insulation or your ventilation. I've mentioned before. Depends 535 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: also on the angle of the sun. You know, how 536 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: that particular roof or area is. Does it get a 537 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: southwest sun. I'm sure you've experienced shoveling the driveway with 538 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: snow and you go out two hours later and yours 539 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: is not only melted, the residue on the driveway is 540 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: not only melted, but it's also dry, and your neighbors 541 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: is still all wet and there's pieces of snow. So 542 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,719 Speaker 1: that's the angle of the sun, the solar heat gained. 543 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: That's one I just I'm gonna, you know, keep that 544 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: in mind. The other one is weird, but it happens. 545 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say a lot, but it happens if 546 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: your neighbor's house a lot of times with low eglass, 547 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: the direction that sun hits your neighbor's house bounces off 548 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: the low eager lass and can actually melt vinyl siding 549 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: or can melt snow on your roof. Again, I don't 550 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: know if that's applicable to your issue, but that's something 551 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: else to address. 552 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 4: No, he's two or three hundred feet away from the 553 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 4: closest house, and he's pretty much the side both sides 554 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 4: in the back are forced. 555 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: Well, that's that's the only two things I would know 556 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: outside of heating and ventilation. Now I'll add one more 557 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: thing in there. If you got the if you got 558 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: the insulation, you got R forty eight, you got more 559 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: than enough insulation. We don't even have a need to 560 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: address that. But the other thing would be ventilation. You 561 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: said you had a couple of boxes up there. Again, 562 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: I would have maybe somebody checked to make sure the 563 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: ventilation is proper for that size house. There's a lot 564 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: of articles. You can google this and check for yourself, 565 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: but it's like seventy eight percent of the homes that 566 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: are ventilator or not ventilated properly. And that's that's worth 567 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: just having it checked. Make sure you got enough incoming 568 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: air in the soffit areas and enough to take the 569 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: hot air out of that of that attic. That could 570 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: be a factor. Also, Yeah, well. 571 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 4: Hopefully we had some We had a hailstorm up here, 572 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,240 Speaker 4: and so he got his roof was completely replaced. Are 573 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 4: the shingles were completely replaced, so you know new soffits, 574 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 4: you know the VNCH sofets and all that kind of stuff. 575 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: Entrance and all that, right, right, Well, the other follow 576 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: up is you might just call that roof and see 577 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: if he would know. Why. Again, it's always I always 578 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: say heating and ventilation angle of the sun. I rarely 579 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 1: talk about the low eglass off a neighbor's house here 580 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 1: it doesn't happen much, but it does happen outside of that. 581 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,720 Speaker 1: I don't know what would be causing that melt. Okay, 582 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 1: all right, sorry, I couldn't help you be more definitive 583 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 1: for you. Our phone numbers eight hundred eight two three 584 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: eight two five five. Feel free to jump on board. 585 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: So the just of that is if your roof is 586 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: covered in snow and you have improper insulation up there, 587 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: his is not. But most common it's that he's gonna 588 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: work its way in the attic. It's gonna heat the 589 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: underbelly of the roof, it's gonna melt, and where it 590 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: hangs over the sofet well, it's gonna freeze there. So 591 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: that's the issue. All right, we'll take a break, Larry, 592 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: you'll be up next. We'll continue.

You've got different size connections at 665 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,360 Speaker 1: the top of the tank, and you've got three quarter 666 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: inch copper in. What's the thread size going to the 667 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: top of the tank? I mean you might have. 668 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 9: It's one inch. It's one inch. 669 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: Thread, Okay, so have you got the. 670 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 9: Go ahead? 671 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: So you're gonna so what's the exact question? Then? How 672 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,720 Speaker 1: do you fit that pipe in there? 673 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 9: Okay? 674 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 11: Uh? 675 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 9: What's the I haven't looked at about yet. What's the 676 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 9: prepping for the shark bite that you push up in there? Yeah? 677 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,360 Speaker 9: Clean it up, put some kind of silicone. I notice 678 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,240 Speaker 9: it's like an oh ring seal. 679 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So really all you would do if it's 680 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,800 Speaker 1: gonna thread in And that's really kind of I was 681 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: going at. Usually you have a steel tank, so you 682 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,479 Speaker 1: could put a steel nipple in there, and then you'd 683 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: get a dielectric connector, which is going to minimize corrosion. Okay, 684 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,359 Speaker 1: and it'll be a union that you could screw in 685 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,319 Speaker 1: your copper connection and then you would put you know, 686 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: your your regular teflon tape around those threaded threaded, yeah, threads, 687 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: and go ahead and tighten that up and then make 688 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: your connection with your shark. 689 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 9: Okay. Well, what I got right now is engine five 690 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 9: eighths and the tank is an inch nipple coming out, So. 691 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,760 Speaker 1: Well, question is okay, go ahead. 692 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,879 Speaker 9: My question is a shark bite that a good thing 693 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 9: to put on the copper line. 694 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 1: Well, you can put them on. I don't know if 695 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 1: I would do it on my water tank. I'd rather 696 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,320 Speaker 1: see it soldered. I think that would be a better 697 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 1: way of doing that. You know, I'm not saying shark 698 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 1: bites are are not good, but water heaters inside walls 699 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: not my favorite. I'd rather have it soldered in there, 700 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 1: all right. I hope that helps. I don't know. I 701 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 1: had a very difficult time understanding them. But when you 702 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,720 Speaker 1: get into measuring pipes, it's crazy. I mean they're all different. 703 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 1: Your your galvanized pipe, if memory serves me, usually I'm 704 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 1: to a point now I look at it and know 705 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: what size it is, but inside copper pipe. Soft copper 706 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: pipe where it's spendable. That's on the OD hard copper pipe. 707 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 1: That's the straight lines that's on the I D. Threaded 708 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 1: is on the I think the OD of galvanized pipe, 709 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 1: which could also be the fitting size for your copper pipe. 710 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 1: So there's you know, but you know, if it's threaded, 711 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: a couple of things you hat it'd be very general here. 712 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,240 Speaker 1: I just want to kind of refresh on this. Whenever 713 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 1: there's a connection made with threads, Okay, you can use 714 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 1: the teflon tape on that or you know, the liquid stuff. 715 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: The teflon tape is probably your best bet and one 716 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: I would usually use. And and if you're mixing metals, 717 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: and it comes a lot when you're doing water heaters. 718 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 1: If you got a metal tank and you're putting in 719 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: a copper fitting, that copper and that galvanize, we create 720 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 1: corrosion and it'll be problematic and actually could cause a 721 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,839 Speaker 1: hole in the fitting. So you want to quit what 722 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 1: they call it dielectric connector in there to eliminate that corrosion. 723 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,240 Speaker 1: All right, Well, continue with your calls. It's eight hundred 724 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 1: eight two three A two five five. It's not the calls, 725 00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: it's the interviews. Gary.
