1 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,639 Speaker 1: Well, the weekend is here, thank goodness, and you're at 2 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: home with Gary Salvin getting a few things done around 3 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: the home, and thanks for joining me. We've had a 4 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: hopefully you've had a fun, interesting Saturday learning a little 5 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: bit about security, cameras and security for your home after 6 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: that wild and crazy story in Tucson, and I'm sure people, 7 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: I feel people including myself, have kind of start taking 8 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: a look at their own home. What can we do 9 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: to monitor it, to have a more secure home, et cetera, 10 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: et cetera. I've seen lots of tips, I've seen lots 11 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: of stories, read a lot of articles. I've got cameras, 12 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: i got security system. I'm not here to profess any 13 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: stretch of imagination that I'm an expert on it. So 14 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: we just kind of opened up the fun lines to you. 15 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: What do you have, what have you enjoyed about it? 16 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: And you know it asked to be expected. The overwriting 17 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,839 Speaker 1: thing is I just feel more secure in my home 18 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: when I'm a way to work, when I travel, I 19 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: know my home is alarmed. It's protecting me against fire breaking, glass, 20 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: water intrusion. And I also have cameras on the outside 21 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: that hopefully I can capture some video of that. So 22 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 1: it's been like it's been a little different. So you're 23 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: the teacher today, all right. It's eight hundred eight two 24 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: three eight two five five also taken plenty of repair 25 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: issues and we can go to Kegan Keegan. 26 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 2: Welcome, Hi Gary, thanks for taking my call. 27 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: You're quite welcome. 28 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 3: I have kind of a two parter. 29 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 4: Little backster. I have a nineteen thirty Tutor style home 30 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 4: that's all stoned, and in the front of my house, 31 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 4: leading down to the sidewalk is a set of steps 32 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 4: that during a pipe break about a year and a 33 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 4: half ago, waterworks came by had to fix it, and 34 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 4: they swung the the the little backo that they had 35 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 4: over too far and knocked the whole side of my 36 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 4: stone steps off. And then while I was away at work, 37 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 4: of course, crew came by and very sloppily patched it 38 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 4: up and used some kind of mortar that does not 39 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 4: match nearly as close as the original order, which I 40 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 4: don't expect it. 41 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 3: To because it's aged. 42 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 4: But so the first question is is there any kind 43 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 4: of since it's already set and you know that's it 44 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 4: kind of is what it is without removing everything, is 45 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 4: there any kind of paint or coating that I could 46 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 4: color match to the rest so that it doesn't stand 47 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 4: out as much for the parts that are patched. And 48 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 4: then the second part one of the stones, now one 49 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 4: of the steps at the bottom has become loose and dislodged, 50 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 4: and you know, every time I walk down the STEPSITE 51 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 4: have to avoid it so I don't step on it, 52 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 4: and then you know, go fly on my butt when 53 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 4: I pull that stone off to repair it and reattach 54 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 4: it is there an a epoxy that I can use 55 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 4: or do I what I have to go through with 56 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 4: mixing fresh mortar and set it correctly. 57 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: And what so. So when you say steps, you say, tutor, 58 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of just irregular concrete steps, but you're saying stones. 59 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: Is that on the riser of the step or on 60 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: the flat per part where you're stepping on the actual step. 61 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 4: All of it is is like limestone, creek rock is 62 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 4: it's a symbol? 63 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, So on that stone that's on the step, 64 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: it's not on the riser the back, you know, the 65 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: part that's going up before it lands on the step. 66 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 4: Correct, Yeah, it's it's even the riser And it's all 67 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 4: what I assume was the leftover parts of the house 68 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 4: when they when they built the house and did the 69 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 4: stone facade, that's what they made the steps out of. 70 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 4: So it's about six steps going up. So the riser 71 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 4: of the sides and everything. 72 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: Is it's all stone, correct, Okay. And the one that's 73 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: loose is on the step though, right, because when you said, 74 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: when you step on it doesn't feel secure. 75 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, which I'm sure with the freezing and thawing and 76 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 4: everything like that just over time. 77 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: Okay. So how thick is that stone? 78 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 4: It's probably let's say, maybe one foot by two foot 79 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 4: in dimensions and probably about three inches thick. 80 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: Pretty big? Yeah big? Is that the whole step. 81 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 3: Most of it? 82 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 4: Yeah? Well they basically two of those makes the one step. 83 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So yeah, if you can get it up, 84 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: do you think you can get that whole thing up 85 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: in one piece? 86 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 5: I'm a strong guy. 87 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 3: I think I can do it all right. 88 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: Well, even with help, you think you could and not 89 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: it wouldn't crack or the base would be compromised or 90 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: anything along noselanes. I mean, it's loose enough where you 91 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: feel you or a couple of people could lift that up. 92 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I could probably just pry it up without too 93 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 4: much work. 94 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: All right, Well, if you think you can get it up, 95 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: I would say you could set that in mortar, or 96 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: you could use like a construction adhesive. Okay, you know 97 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: the secret is getting it level, because it's not now 98 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: something something gave way, right, you know, so you know, 99 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: if we get it level, and there's many ways to 100 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: get that level. If you if you pull that off 101 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: and you used on a horizontal surface, and let's say 102 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: you had to build it up no more than a 103 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: half inch, Let's say probably be less than that, you know, 104 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: maybe like a quarter inch or three ace of an inch. 105 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: You could use a product called vinyl concrete patch. Vinyl 106 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: concrete patch is it has a bonding agent in the 107 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: cementatious coating. It's a powder you mix with water. Let 108 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: it sit about three minutes, and then just trial it 109 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: over and you would trial it smooth, you trial it level. 110 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: And what I would do is I'd put it on 111 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: and almost take like a little piece of two by 112 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: four and just use that as a float to make 113 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: sure it's laying level. You know, maybe three feet long. 114 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: Just lay it and make sure it's level and get 115 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: that on there. Let it dry and then come back 116 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: without setting that stone. I mean, you can do this 117 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: with mortar too, don't get me wrong. You can use 118 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: mortar and then add a bonding agent in it, which 119 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: looks like and smells like Elmer's glue. It'll tell you 120 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: what to do, and then just put a bet of 121 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: mortar in there and just set that stone. So it 122 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: may be easier to do it that way. But since 123 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: you brought up the adhesive, I wanted to cover that too. Okay, 124 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: So that was one I got so excited about it. 125 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: I forgot the other one. 126 00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 4: The color matching. 127 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so that'll be a challenge to paint. Is pain. 128 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: It's going to cover everything, but it's not really going 129 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: to match anything, so you'd have to do almost the 130 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: whole thing. So it's so they patched it. It doesn't 131 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: look too bad, doesn't look great, doesn't look too bad, 132 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: but it does it doesn't match at all? 133 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 4: Right, well one it looks it looks really bad in 134 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 4: my opinion. I they like I said, I came home 135 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 4: from work and they were just finishing it up, and 136 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,559 Speaker 4: you know, they didn't even tell me they were coming 137 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 4: to repair it. And uh, and so it was I 138 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 4: think pretty sloppily done, and the mortar or maybe even concrete, 139 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 4: I don't know. It's it's it's super super light gray 140 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 4: in color. And of course you know the the original 141 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 4: mortar was it looks like it had a fair amount 142 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 4: of sand into it. And of course over time, you know, 143 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 4: it's darkened with with dirt and everything and aged. So 144 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 4: I didn't expect it to be perfect, but it's it 145 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 4: really really stands out where So are. 146 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: You thinking maybe of redressing that with more mortar, because 147 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: there's an option here. You know, if you if you 148 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: wanted to put a skim coat over that, you could 149 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: take a mortar mix. I'm gonna give you two products, 150 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: regular mortar mix number one, and again you would add 151 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: a bonding agent to that, all right, which is the 152 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: Olmer glue type thing. You would mix that up. And 153 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: then they make tint for concrete. So when you go 154 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: to the hardware store and you find all the patching 155 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: concretes and everything, you'll see little bottles bottle red, bottle 156 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: of beige, bottle of gray, bottle of black, and you're 157 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: gonna there's no there's no chart, there's no formula. It's 158 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: just a matter of adding it until you think you 159 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: got it. That's where the real talent is, quite honestly, 160 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: and you would tint that new mortar and then you 161 00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: would apply that mortar, which would be vertical, I'm assuming. 162 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: And that's one way of doing it. Another way of 163 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: doing it is quick creep makes a little it's almost 164 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: like a little ziploc bag. It's got three pounds of 165 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: mortar in it. It's already got a bonding agent in it. 166 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: And you could take that again if it needs you know, 167 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: you could mix a little and see what color it 168 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: is and say, oh, it needs a little bit of red, 169 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of brown or whatever, because you're going 170 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: to be guessing. And people that are really good at 171 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: that are usually Mason's and sometimes they can't get it perfect. 172 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: So there's a challenge there. But you can tint that. 173 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: And let me give you this last piece of advice. 174 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: When you tint it, if you have a piece of 175 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: scrap glass, you take what you have tinted, you put 176 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: it on the scrap glass and you turn it over, 177 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: and that's what's going to look like when it dries. Okay, 178 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: so what you're looking at when it's wet is going 179 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: to be different than when you turn it over, but 180 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: you'll be able to come You're not going to match 181 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: it exact, but you'll be able to smooth it out. 182 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: You'll be able to add some color, so that that's 183 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: an option. Another option if you want to just use 184 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: mortar over that mortar, the mortar patch that I was 185 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: talking about that comes into a little beggy and just 186 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: smooth it all out. There's different concrete stains and dies. 187 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: It's usually sold in a gallon, but it does come 188 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: with a color card. Okay, it's a semi transparent and 189 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: you could, you know, just brush that on again. It's 190 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: not gonna be perfect, but it'll be uniform. 191 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I just have to do all the remaining 192 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 4: parts of the. 193 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 1: Right then, right, right, something to think about, do a 194 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: little study in the store project, yep, I think so. 195 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: All right, all right, you're quite welcome.

My house looks like I live 252 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 8: in Greenland. I got Salax type and all the way 253 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 8: to the ground. It's very scary. I'm waiting for water 254 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 8: damage to happen or whatever. But for insulation, what do 255 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 8: you do if there's no attic or call space? Well 256 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 8: portions of the house. 257 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, well let's take the cross space first. You got 258 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: a basement or is it a slab? 259 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a basement, okay. 260 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: Is it is it part of the living quarters? Or 261 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: just a storage basement, that type of thing. 262 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 8: Yeah, unfinished, just unfinished. 263 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: Well, you can insulate the walls on that, especially above grade, Jim, 264 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: you can you know, build like a two by four 265 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: wall unfinished, you know, just the studs and pack that 266 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: with insulation and a vapor barrier facing in, or no 267 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: build of any walls at all, and you can get 268 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: maybe uh insulation panels that there's many different kinds out there. 269 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: There's some with foil on the side and a real 270 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: dense fiberglass and or you can use two inch foam panels, 271 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: closed cell and you could literally glue those right up 272 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: on the walls, which will help insulate. And if it's 273 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: above grade, for sure you would be warming that up 274 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: a bit. You know, once you get below grade, you've 275 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: got the you know standard temperature of below grade, you know, 276 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: fifty eight degrees or whatever. But that's still chilly. So 277 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: you could go all the way to the floor. You 278 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: could just go down to the soil line. So that'll help. 279 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: That'll help warm up that basement a little. 280 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 8: The excuse me. The basement above it's like unfinished, and 281 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 8: it looks like they have had some old insulation in 282 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 8: the past, but it's like all pretty much gone. So 283 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 8: you think I should do the ceiling of the exposed. 284 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: You know, well it'll help. Yeah, if you feel like 285 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: you're getting some chill underneath that floor, sure you could. 286 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: If it's got your choice up there, maybe you can 287 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: stuff some fiberglass insulation up there, paper faced, and the 288 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: paper face would be you know, facing the the living 289 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: quarters above, and there's little metal straps that straddle in 290 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: between the joists that hold it in place. 291 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 3: You could do that, I see. 292 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 8: And do you prefer the blown in insulation or the 293 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 8: actual roles of insulation. 294 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: Well, if you're doing it down there, as we discussed 295 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: it would it would certainly be the roles of insulation. 296 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 8: But how about the rest of the house. 297 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: The whole house, well, the rest of the house. If 298 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: you got an addict, you don't have an addict, you 299 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: don't have a sex I do have. 300 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 8: Attic in uh certain portions of the house. Yeah, I 301 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 8: do have an addict. 302 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, if you blew that in an insulation, Is 303 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: there any insulation on that floor? Now? 304 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 8: No, the floor is just complete wood, just a floor 305 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 8: of wood. There's no insulation. 306 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. So I would probably put down a plastic 307 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: vapor vapor barrier over that wood, and then I would 308 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: blow a fiberglass on top of that. I see. 309 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 8: But and any idea of who used to go? 310 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I'll tell you what I would do. Also, 311 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 1: call USA Insulation and let them take a look at it. 312 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: Because I just talked about one type. They've got other mechanics, 313 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: like if you did a foam installation on the bottom 314 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: in the basement, that might be ideal. So give them 315 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: a call USA Installation. Your call's next.

Thanks? 362 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 3: Great? Thanks taking my call? Hot water hot water tank? 363 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 3: What's the best way to clean the sentiment out of 364 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 3: the hot water tank? 365 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: Well, I guess a couple of questions. First of all, 366 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: gas are electric electric? And how old is it? 367 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 3: It's probby well on tears. 368 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: Now okay, and have you been cleaning it regularly. No, 369 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: I have not. That's always the big question. 370 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 3: I did I did have my Yeah, I did have 371 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 3: my well done in October last year. They cleaned that 372 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 3: out and new pump got plenty of water pressure. But 373 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 3: when you turn the hot water on, it's pressure, a 374 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 3: lot of pressure that starts to slow down. So I'm 375 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 3: thinking I got sediment in there. 376 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: You could have. I think what I would do before. 377 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: I'm always nervous, and we should clean the water heaters, 378 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: but I'm always nervous about not doing it for twelve years, 379 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: and then let's do it now, mainly because maybe that 380 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,239 Speaker 1: sentiment's holding that tank together. Because you're getting near the 381 00:23:55,320 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: time where that tank might you might consider replacing it. 382 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: Maybe not quite yet, but pretty close. So what I 383 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: would do is, I would just test it first. I 384 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: get yourself a bucket or a hose, attach it down 385 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: at the base and open that valve up, don't you know, 386 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: just opening it halfway. I want you to drin about 387 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,239 Speaker 1: two to five gallons out of that tank and assess it. 388 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: You know, is it brown? Is there a lot of sediment? 389 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: Did the valve just clog up and quit working because 390 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: you were doing that, which can happen. Uh, and and 391 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: let's see what we got because if we can drain, 392 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: let's just say two three gowns off and all of 393 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: a sudden the water starts running clear. I'd let it 394 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: be okay, all right now. 395 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 3: No, next next question. Sediment uster. Yeah, it's our gadget 396 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 3: you put on the drain and shoot air up in. Hmm. 397 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: Not familiar with that name. I think I'm familiar with 398 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: what the technology is. Where are you hooking this up. 399 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 3: At at the bottom of the hot water? 400 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: Oh, at the bottom of the hot water. And how 401 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: do you how do you go through the valve or what? 402 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with that. 403 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, Yeah, you hooked it up to where you 404 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 3: would hook up your garden hose. 405 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: Okay, open up the valve with. 406 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 3: The garden hose. It's got like a spot where you 407 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 3: could like like air pressure, like if you're putting your tire. Okay, 408 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 3: Supposedly you can hit it a couple of times and 409 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 3: it's supposed to break up the sediment. 410 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: Well, I guess you know. I mean, yeah, in fact, 411 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,239 Speaker 1: when I was telling you, if there is a lot 412 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: of sediment there and it clogs the valve and it 413 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: quits working. I was when I was saying that, I 414 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: was going like, well, then what do you do? So 415 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: maybe I'm not familiar with that particular tool or product, 416 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: but you know, it sounds like it makes sense. But 417 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: I've not used one, Okay, but it seems like if 418 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot of sediment and that's the problem. You know, 419 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: one of the things also with cleaning, and I'm not advocating, 420 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: we do not drain the water heaters, so you don't 421 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: have to call me out on that, but one of 422 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: the things I'm always anxious about is sediment that's holding 423 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: the tank together. And also those valves are about the 424 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: cheapest valves made, and then what happens when that valve 425 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: quits working because you're going to have to replace that 426 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: valve or there's so much sentiment that's what's messed that 427 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: whole valve up. So the sediment blocker sure sounds like 428 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,239 Speaker 1: that would be a reliable tool to get in there 429 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: and just try and move that away to allow you 430 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: to drain the rest of the water out of that tank. 431 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 3: Does it take too much sentiment to plug up a tank? 432 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 3: I mean it take just a little bit. 433 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: Usually like a like a oh, what. 434 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 3: They call a water savor. Valves in these tanks now 435 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 3: that were got like a corry inch hole. 436 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean they they certainly can clog up. 437 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: I would say that your valve at the bottom of 438 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: the tank will clog up faster than you would know 439 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: that the rest of the houses having a problem with 440 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: hot water. Usually my thing is is it in one 441 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: particular rumor is it all the rooms that it's a problem. 442 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 3: It's it's on all the faucets and both showers, both showers, 443 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 3: so yeah, it starts out strong and then it just 444 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 3: goes like half pressure. 445 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well that certainly sounds like there could be 446 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: a lot of sediment and not getting through out of 447 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: the tank. 448 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 3: Now, mind, you know, I do have one those small 449 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 3: in house filters coming off the pressure. 450 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: Tank, right, and what kind of shapes that it. 451 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 3: Well, I actually just changed it here past week. They 452 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 3: had red stuff at it, you know, iron whatever, pretty 453 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 3: much of it, or cleaning filter. Well, not enough to 454 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 3: really plug it out, but I've changed it out anyways. 455 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 3: Not that Well, let's see what happened. Yeah, yeah, sure enough. 456 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 3: It did the same thing, really lots of pressure and 457 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 3: then it started getting slower. 458 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: Well, I invite somebody else that's got another idea. What 459 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: would be going on. I'd do a little drain at 460 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: the bottom. Let's see where we are there. It's just 461 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: going to be a hunt and peck and see what 462 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: we got. But yeah, if you're you know, if it's 463 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: filling up a filter, you know, every whatever months you 464 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: change it. And you know, I mean if it if 465 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: it's catching you know there, it could be clogging something 466 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: else up, and I don't know what that is, all right, 467 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: So let's drain off. See if we get that same 468 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: readish cast of water in and you know, you drain 469 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: off three gowns or so, see if we're still getting it. 470 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 3: All right, we'll go where we are. 471 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: We got to get everything out of there, and you know, 472 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: probably chlorinated and everything else, but you know, shutting off 473 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: the power and the waters and all that good stuff. 474 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: But let's drain it out and see what we got our, 475 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: you know, a few gowns. Let's see what we got, 476 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: all right, We'll give it all all right, good enough, 477 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: keep me posted, Thank you. All right, let's go to Jim. 478 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: Jim welcome, good morning, good sir, yes, sir. 479 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 5: So before I get to my question, you should have 480 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 5: somebody in your organization tally up the number of calls 481 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 5: you've taken in nearly four decades. I'd would really be 482 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 5: a fascinating amount to see how many folks do you helped. 483 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 3: Over the years. 484 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: It's been a lot. I'll tell you. 485 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 5: It's been because bills. 486 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: Anyway. 487 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 5: I have a year old high end price Fister bathroom fass, 488 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 5: a single lever I installed a year ago, work perfectly. 489 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 5: All the rest of the plumbing in the house works well, 490 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 5: new plumbing, plastic plumbing, and of late, the cold water 491 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 5: starts from the slow So I turned the valve valves 492 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 5: completely open. The valve in the basement that feeds online, 493 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 5: that's completely open. And I'm afraid that maybe some sentiment 494 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 5: got into the cold water side of the faucet. Any suggestions, So. 495 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: It's just the cold water. The hot water's working fine, perfect, Okay, 496 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: So we're just. 497 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 5: Going to do a process in the house or normal. 498 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So what we got to do is we 499 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: just have to I mean, is it possible. Sure something happened, 500 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: you know, it just doesn't arbitrarily quit working on one 501 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: side of the faucet. So it could be inside the faucet, 502 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: it could be inside the valve under the cabinet. It 503 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: could be in the hose. So let's start at the 504 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: very basics. First thing I would do is I would 505 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: you know, shut off my water. It's gonna take a 506 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: couple you shut off the water at the bottom. Let's 507 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: detach the hose, okay. Or do you have one of 508 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: those hoses or do you have like copper pipe coming up? 509 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 3: No? 510 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 5: I have hose all them is new? 511 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: All right? Oh okay, well it's probably in the faucet. 512 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: Inn But disconnect the hose from the faucet and get 513 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: a bucket, point out hose down the bucket, turn the 514 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: water back on. See if we get a water out 515 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: of the hose. All right. If we're getting water out 516 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: of there, we know it's in the faucet. Okay. So yeah, 517 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: so if you're if you're if you're getting water, we're 518 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: good to go. If you're not getting water, it's probably 519 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: the valve. 520 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 3: In the belt. 521 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 5: Okay, that's what they need, and then I'll appreciate it. 522 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: When you get to the faucet. Let me just give 523 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: you this. So if it's in the faucet, usually there's 524 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: a couple uh copper soft copper pipes coming down that 525 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: connect to the hose. Make sure one of those aren't kinked, okay. 526 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: And then the next thing is with the water off, 527 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: take off that handle. You look down into that little 528 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: concave bowl that's there where that you said one handle, 529 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: single handle. 530 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 5: Correct. 531 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: Okay. So when you take that handle off, there's a 532 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: little big bonnet nut, and where that ball rides over 533 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: those washers, I'll bet you one of those is split 534 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: and it's clogging up the hole. 535 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 5: Okay, So I'll do what happened just a year. But 536 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 5: that's appreciate your. 537 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. Take care. Yeah, if you have it 538 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: where it's just on one side, that's a quick thing. 539 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: I always start down at the bottom. Let let's just 540 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: make sure it's getting war to the faucet. Getting war 541 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: to the faucet. The answer is yes, then it's in 542 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: the faucet. So you look at the little feeder line 543 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: underneath the faucet. Is that bent, caked or anything to 544 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: keep that? You know, like taking a garden hose and 545 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: folding it in half, it quits running, right, So let's 546 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: make sure there's not a kink there. But when there's 547 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: no kink and you open up the faucet. There's two 548 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: black gramets and they're usually spring loaded, and one of 549 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: those will be dishoveled, split part of it will be 550 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: in that hole and it's just working as a plug 551 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: or as he said, more hard water deposits. Is plugging 552 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: that up? All right? Well, take a break, come back, 553 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: get some more questions answered.

Thank you? 598 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 2: A quick question for you regarding the dice coding you 599 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 2: talk about a lot I'm wondering. I'm wondering about a 600 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 2: basement floor mall square footage about six hundred square feet using. 601 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 3: Like roller rock. 602 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,240 Speaker 2: Will that breathe or will I I have made moisture 603 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 2: problems coming up through the concrete floor? 604 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 1: You know what. No one has ever asked me about that. 605 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 3: I know. 606 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 2: Well, I bring it up because I have a brother 607 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 2: who's a chemical engineer and he works in the coatings industry, 608 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,879 Speaker 2: and he just warned me not to pink the floor 609 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 2: because a lot of the paint that people put on 610 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 2: the concrete it doesn't breathe, or you. 611 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,760 Speaker 1: Get old, and yeah, you get other issues. 612 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 2: Sure, and I don't want to put something. 613 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: Down, And then I totally agree. I totally agree. 614 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 2: I was coming up from the bottom. 615 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: So so I can't give you a definitive answer, but 616 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 1: it should not be hard to find out. So the 617 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: real thing that you're searching is is this coating a 618 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: solvent based coating or an acrylic based coating, acrylic based coatings, 619 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 1: which I think is what it is. I've used it, 620 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: It's been a while since I've used it on concrete. 621 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: I've used it on tile. I've used it on even laminates. 622 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: And we talk about it being used on a garage 623 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: floor all the time, which I think would have more 624 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: moisture issues than a basement would have. But I think 625 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 1: it isn't a curly Yeah, yeah, but we always have 626 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,879 Speaker 1: So just give you an example. The walls and floor 627 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: in a basement. I think it's like eight to ten 628 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 1: gallons of water vapor per like eight hours, so there's 629 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 1: always water vapor coming up, which is why he was 630 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 1: concerned because if it's a solvent based there is a 631 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 1: possibility that it could trap water underneath it and it 632 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: would peel. Common common issue with older style paints because 633 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: they were all oil based. Harrybody's basement floor peeled, and 634 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: then when you start getting into some of your breathable acrylics, 635 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,320 Speaker 1: it was less of an issue. And this being a 636 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: coating and not a paint, your millage of thickness is greater, 637 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: which makes it stronger. But I don't think it's a 638 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: solvent base. I'm ninety nine percent sure it's an acrylic base. 639 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 1: You can go to their website. 640 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I did that, and it says it's water based. 641 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 1: Okay, it's breathable. Then okay, yeah, it's breathable. 642 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 2: That was and it says that you have to put 643 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 2: the sealer on top of that, So I guess I 644 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 2: should look up the seiler. 645 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 1: I would look up the ceiler, yeah, ummm yeah, because 646 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 1: I wouldn't know about the seiler. Again, it just depends 647 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 1: if you look up the ceiler. See if it's water 648 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: bass and there's water based seilers out there. Now. The 649 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: other one is there's there is actually one breathable solvent base. 650 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 1: It's a slock sane seiler, so and that's Tripolitan. It's 651 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: molecules of silicone as well. It is, but it's actually breatheable. 652 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,359 Speaker 1: If it doesn't have it on the website, just call 653 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: their help number and just ask if it's breathable. I'm 654 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 1: sure the roller rock is. I can't imagine they would 655 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: sell a seiler on top of the roller rock. That 656 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: would not be. 657 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly. 658 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 2: I just again, I hate the redundancy of you do something, 659 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 2: you got to redo it. 660 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: Oh no, you're absolutely perfectly smart to make sure that 661 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 1: it I mean, you do not want to have it 662 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: where it's a non breatheable surface, for sure. You want 663 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: to let that water vapor go through the paint and 664 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: not create a barrier underneath it. 665 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, because I do run a decamidifier every now 666 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,399 Speaker 2: and then. But you know, the collection is minimal because 667 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 2: like I said, it's a relatively small space and it's 668 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 2: in a split level of nineteen sixty nine built home, 669 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 2: So you know there is no one level. 670 00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 3: That you know, is so big. 671 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: I think that. 672 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 3: The air house. I guess what I'm saying is good. 673 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just sitting here thinking about something else too. 674 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: If it was not breathable. There is actually a coating product. 675 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 1: This is weird. It will penetrate into the concrete and 676 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: it functions as a vapor barrier. 677 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 3: Yeh. 678 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 1: And the people that make dry lock for walls, they 679 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 1: make a dry lock clear now and that is what 680 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: is designed. And I couldn't tell you if that may 681 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: be a crilling too, but it's it's meant to lock 682 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 1: that moisture into that concrete before it even gets to 683 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 1: the surface. Okay, And I just bring that up. If 684 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: it's still something you want to do, you might be 685 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: able to use that. Always call it, you know, it's 686 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 1: it's like a vapor barrier. Paint you put in a 687 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: vapor barrier. 688 00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because I did dry lock on the wall 689 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 2: because it's a poor foundation. Again, this is more storage. 690 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 2: But yet you know there's laundry down there and stuff 691 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,439 Speaker 2: washer and dryer and all that. But I'm not looking 692 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,839 Speaker 2: to you know, lived there. 693 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, here's here's another one. There's actually a test you 694 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 1: can you know, to see if you have a I 695 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 1: know you don't see wet spots or anything, but you 696 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:28,439 Speaker 1: could actually tape a piece of plastic with some duct tape, 697 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: you know, like two foot square on that floor. Yep. 698 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,839 Speaker 1: Let's sit there for a couple of days to see 699 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 1: if you get any water drop. Let's see how much 700 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: you got coming up through there. 701 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, we always did that with old cars. 702 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 2: We put the tactic down, then we park them in 703 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 2: the garage. 704 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know for the winter in northeast Ohio. You 705 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 3: know how the weather is. 706 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, So that's another way of telling. But 707 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: the best way to tell is called dice and see 708 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 1: if that it is breatha what. I feel pretty certain 709 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 1: they both are. 710 00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 2: Okay, very good, Thank you sir. 711 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,320 Speaker 1: All Right, you're quite welcome. Thank you. He's doing his 712 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 1: homework and I like that, And that was that was 713 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: a challenging question. 714 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 3: He I. 715 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:12,359 Speaker 1: You know, every product when you get into specifics, don't 716 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,880 Speaker 1: have the answer in some cases. But really, when you 717 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,840 Speaker 1: start talking it through, it's like, oh, it's got to 718 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 1: be it's got to be breathable. It's a it's a 719 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: water based paint. Uh. In this case, it's a water 720 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,399 Speaker 1: based coating. But it makes a big difference. That's why 721 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,879 Speaker 1: all the work on the exterior of our houses has 722 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 1: become less work. Remember maybe when you were a kid, 723 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,840 Speaker 1: you were always scraping paint off the outside of the 724 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: house and repainting. It's because the moisture that was in 725 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,360 Speaker 1: the house was trying to get out of the house, 726 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 1: or there was moisture into the wood that was trying 727 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,680 Speaker 1: to penetrate. But the face of the wood was painted 728 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 1: with oil based paint and it wasn't going to move. 729 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,240 Speaker 1: It wasn't gonna let air through it, or yeah, moisture 730 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 1: through it. So what happens moisture always it's the paint field. 731 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,280 Speaker 1: You can join us.
