And I don't know where I met. 14 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: We're kind of spending a little bit more time indoors. 15 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: I mean, after all, it's the day the clock drops 16 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: back one hour for many of us, fall back one hour, 17 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: and that's always a good sign that it's almost holiday time. 18 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: I know, where's it go. We're like in summer two 19 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: weeks ago in my neck of the woods, the leaves 20 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: were green. Last weekend they were yellow and red, and 21 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: this weekend they're probably eighty percent gone. Next weekend they'll 22 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: be gone, and then we'll start talking about holidays. Holy cow, 23 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: it goes fast and in well, we don't want to 24 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: talk about that. In fact, I get several emails from 25 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: a pr agencies and stuff like that this week. I 26 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: wants to talk about snow and winter, and every time 27 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: I see them like, oh, I don't want to talk 28 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: about that, but actually it is. It is a good 29 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: thing to think about. Used to have this one guy 30 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: at the hardware stores. He'd always say, you know where 31 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: your snowshovel is? And of course most people go like, no, 32 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: in the attic, somewhere behind the lawnmower. But it is 33 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,119 Speaker 1: a you know, trying to stay ahead of the seasons. 34 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: Know where your snowshovel is. Hard to sell salt snow 35 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: melters before it snows, and but then when it's snows 36 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: you can't find it because everybody rushes the storm by it. 37 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: So I'm not here as your snow melting agent to 38 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: sell you products. But sir, if you're in the hard 39 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 1: store and just doing some November maintenance around your home, 40 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: it never ever hurts to just pick them up and 41 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: have it on hand. You never know what kind of winter, 42 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: at least where we are, you never really know what 43 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: kind of winter. We can have a tough one, we 44 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: canna have a very mild one. We canna have no 45 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: winner at all. I think a couple of years ago 46 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: we had one of those. Well, let me give you 47 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: the phone number, Happy to chat with you about what 48 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: you're gonna work on around your home. And I tell 49 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: you this too. We're talking about trying to save money 50 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: on energy and stuff like that. I was reading some 51 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: articles also on you know, we got all the Nest thermometers, 52 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: we got program both thermometers. Probably still got the old 53 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 1: dial thermometers or thermostats, I should say, around in many 54 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: of the homes. I'm just curious, do you do you 55 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: program your programmable thermostat? And if you're gonna Nest one, 56 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: you do it right on your phone, right. But I'm 57 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: just curious how many people have these that don't use them? 58 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: Because the articles I reason reading, it's quite a few. 59 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: You know, we buy them, but we never use them, 60 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: and I use mine. But I'm weird like that. I'm 61 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: just curious, if you do you use it, what's your settings, 62 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: and you know, his energy gets a little more expensive 63 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: to I'm I'm kind of looking, I'm kind of okay 64 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: about finding another blanket. I'm alright with that. Well, let 65 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: me give you the phone number and you can join 66 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: us as we chat a little home improvement and uh 67 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three a two five five eight 68 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: hundred eighty two three eight two five five. Also one 69 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: of the things we hear this time of year, when 70 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: the clock falls back, you change the smoke detectors' batteries. 71 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: Do you do that? Sometimes I feel like we're just 72 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: preaching to no one. It's on all the newscasts, probably 73 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: different radio stations you'll turn on, somebody'll be talking about 74 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: do you react to that? Just curious, and do you 75 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: realize that that thermostats only or that smoke alarm is 76 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: only good for ten years? Do test yours? Do clean years? 77 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: Good ideas to do that, that's for sure from a 78 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: safety standpoint, And I'm just always curious some of the 79 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: things we hear repetitively year after year after year. Does 80 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: that just fall on deaf ears or is that like 81 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: really a good reminder for you? Oh yeah, I gotta 82 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: I gotta get that done. That's that's for sure, Thank 83 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: you so much. Had some work done around my house 84 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: this past week. One of it was lifting a patio, 85 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: doing the leveling, the slabjacking. If you will, man, I'll 86 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: tell you what what a difference that makes. We started 87 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: having a really bad negative flow right towards the house 88 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: and it was kind of pulling away from the foundation, 89 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: funneling water right in there, and I was getting nervous. 90 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: I got to do something about that. But we got 91 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: that done Monday, Tuesday. Looks great. All right, let's get 92 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: to the phones. Dan, you lead us off. Welcome, good morning. 93 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: As I was on the phone talking about the thermostatus, 94 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: you apparently switched to some other drainages. I'm really interested, 95 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: but I just put in we just switched out our 96 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: old mercury around one from years and years ago to 97 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: and I plan on using the thing for sure, grammable, 98 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,559 Speaker 2: you know, but I've never had one, so who knows 99 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 2: that that's still out whether leave it? 100 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? But uh, it's you know, it really is a 101 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: money saver. Just so you know, if you can reduce 102 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: one degree of temperature for eight hours, it's a one 103 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: percent savings. The secret is is when you reduce it, 104 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: do it at least eight hours, so you know, I mean, 105 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: if you're gone in the day and you pull that 106 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: thing back five seven degrees, I mean that's a big savings, right. 107 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: Have it come back afore a little before you come home. 108 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: I assume there's just a if someone come home earlier, 109 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: just a punch button word like you said, your phone. 110 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: I know, I don't think I didn't put it in, 111 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: but yeah. 112 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 2: Regardless of what did I miss that, you just got 113 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: done for drainage around your foundation. 114 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: Oh, I just had a patio. I have a patio 115 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: outside my you know, outside of my home, off the 116 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: screen porch, and it had just been settling over the years, 117 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: and so the whole patio was kind of leaning towards 118 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: the foundation rather than away from the foundation, right, And 119 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: I just kind of looked at it, and about four 120 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: weeks ago, I said, I'm going to have something done 121 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: with that. And it was very nice. 122 00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 2: You know. 123 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: They came in, they drew a whole through the slab, 124 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: and they pump us cementatious crowding underneath that. Yeah, and 125 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: it just kind of lifts it up and you just 126 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: don't realize, or I didn't realize. I knew it was 127 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: tilted towards the foundation. I didn't really realize it was 128 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: how how much it was tilting towards the foundation. I mean, 129 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: it just even appears differently now. So yeah, I feel 130 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: I feel very confident about that because you don't want 131 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: either the landscaping around your home to slope right into 132 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: the foundation, nor do you want sidewalks or patio. So 133 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: I did it as a precaution. The less thing I 134 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: need is a leaky basement. 135 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: Right, which I have. 136 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: I call it the dodgeon with my family. 137 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 2: But there's there's there's a passholl driveway and there's like a 138 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 2: little homemade poured concrete sidewalk along the side. But you 139 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 2: can tell from the driveway which is I'm starting to 140 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: lose it too. Are the grade over the soil part 141 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 2: on up to the side door is towards the house? 142 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: Right? 143 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: So I don't know, do I just put gravel in 144 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 2: there to start with? 145 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 3: And well, how do you get that? 146 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: Well, I I'm having a hard time vision. So you 147 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: got the asphalt driveway, and then you got what a 148 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: little peach strip of grass or something, and then you 149 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: got a sidewalk and then the foundation. 150 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 2: Well, the sidewalk doesn't well, there's an addition. Let's just 151 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,719 Speaker 2: say there's there's a four feet of grass. Let's not 152 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 2: worry about the little sidewalk. Okay, the grade if I 153 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: wanted to grade that out to the to the driveway level, 154 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 2: the asphalt level, but the little sidewalk would be covered up 155 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 2: by it looks to me like six or eight inches anyway. 156 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like I need. 157 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 2: To bring up the whole that whole side down to 158 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: there both. 159 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: Probably, yeah, you probably do. In fact, even if you 160 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: lifted the sidewalk first and got a negative grade of 161 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: way from the house, it'll be interesting to see how 162 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: that grading with that piece of grass in between the 163 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: driveway and the sidewalk would be treated. It might even 164 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: be that you actually put like an underground French drain 165 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: there and and use that all that little four foot 166 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: strip almost as a culvert, and then move the water 167 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: away that way. 168 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 2: But I still want I still want the grade to 169 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 2: be I need to you know, what, what would I 170 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: put down over that area and I gotta go up 171 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 2: that high? Do you start with gravel, eat some. 172 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: Kind of a well, if you're gonna what are you 173 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: gonna put there where? That grass is if you're gonna 174 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: when you say start with gravel, it sounds like you 175 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:51,719 Speaker 1: would be putting concrete in. Then if you just if 176 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: you're just gonna do great, you know, I can just 177 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: cover the whole thing. Yeah, that's that's one of the 178 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: things that you know, you might consider if you're thinking 179 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 1: about doing that. What I would do is, seriously, I 180 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: would get a concrete person that's going to do the 181 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: leveling and talk to them about putting in and create 182 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: that whole thing is a little concrete and then grade 183 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: it away onto the driveway. Or rather than pushing all 184 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: that water onto a driveway and maybe making it slick 185 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: in the winter time, is like I said, dropping a 186 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: pipe in that little area where you raise the sidewalk 187 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: and your driveway is kind of there, kind of that 188 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: whole area would be kind of like a little spillway, 189 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: if you will, and then put an underground French drain 190 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: in there and collect that water, move it away from 191 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: the foundation down maybe to into the yard, away from 192 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: the other the driveway. That may be the way to 193 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: do it. I'd have to really look at it to 194 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: give you more ideas, but you know, you know, just 195 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: trying to get it all the way. 196 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: Because we're in a residential area and the driveway. 197 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: Right right, certainly something to look at it, Yeah, certainly 198 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: something to look at and a really good idea to 199 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: start moving that away, Dan, for sure, eventually it catches 200 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: up with you.

There was a product they used 335 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: to talk about all the time is called zime Away. 336 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: It was a moulderen mover and then attack proteins and 337 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: I'd spray that it was absolutely harmless to humans. I'd 338 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: spray that on there. Break open the nest a little bit. 339 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: Those things will be falling out of that nest like 340 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: it's raining, goes, what are you using.

We're long time listeners of your show. 398 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: Thank you. 399 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 7: We have a home on the lake and it's got 400 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 7: vinyl sighting on it that's maybe seven eight years old, 401 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 7: and it's pretty heavily faded in some areas, and we're 402 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 7: looking at replacing it. And I know there's hardy board 403 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 7: out there, and I guess a number of different options. 404 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 7: But what how do we decide what's going to be 405 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 7: best for our application. I want to lower, preferably no maintenance, 406 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 7: and I know the vinyl has no maintenance, but it's 407 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 7: the appearance, the presentation just isn't there for us? 408 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know a lot of people start with 409 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 1: the basics a lot of times on the vinyl sighting. 410 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: You know, I remember one in my first house, purchasing 411 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: vinyl sighting, and I remember the sales pitch was the 412 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: color is baked all the way through this, and that 413 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: sounded really good, you know, like, wow, that's going to 414 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: last forever. Then and now I'm reading articles and experienced it. Also, 415 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: we're vinyl sighting within you know, especially in darker colors 416 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: with in six to eight months, there's oxidation on that 417 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: vinyl where it does start fading, it fades, you can 418 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: I'm just throwing this in as a caveat. You can 419 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: paint vinyl sighting a lot of people don't realize that, 420 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: but there is special paints where you can paint vinyl sighting, 421 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: even from light colors to darker colors. I know Sherman 422 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: Williams has a whole special line of tints that can 423 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: go into paint. So that would be option one. I 424 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: would say, you know, there's probably three other categories that 425 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: I see and have talked to and see people use 426 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: a lot of We're seeing all different kinds of textures 427 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: and colors and types on houses from even stone. But 428 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: there is vinyl sighting that doesn't just go straight lines. 429 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: It goes in almost like a jigsaw pattern and can 430 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: look like stone. That would be an option. There's the 431 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: hardy board that you mentioned before. That's an option, And 432 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: of those options, the other option is the one I 433 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: really like the best. It's LP siding. It's called Smart side. 434 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: And take a look at that, the Smart side by 435 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: LP siding. It's got a twenty five year warranty on 436 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: the coding and a fifty year warranty on the board. 437 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: It comes vertically, it comes horizontally. It comes like a 438 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: cape cod look, like a cottage look, cedar look, stone look. 439 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,959 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of different looks. And you know, 440 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: if you're buy a lake maybe you know, maybe there's 441 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: kind of a little theme going around and you're part 442 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: of the country that you'd want to match. They have 443 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: those architectural features. 444 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 7: Let's see the maintenance. I'll keep with that. 445 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: Gary pretty dog on minimal. To be honest with you, 446 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you always need to just look 447 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: in and see if there's any shrinkage in clocking or anything. 448 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: But it's a very very stable product, very very water resistant. 449 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: It's even I don't know how you would say that, 450 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: but I know. One of the demonstrations I saw, it's 451 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: probably been about five years ago at the International Biller Show. 452 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: They had a pitching machine throwing baseballs into this sighting 453 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: at ninety miles an hour from like thirty feet and 454 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: it wouldn't indent. It was very very solid, which you're 455 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: not going to get from as far as I know, 456 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: really any other type of sighting, Not that that's really important, 457 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: but it proved a point that it was very durable. 458 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 7: Is that a cementous like a hardy board? 459 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: It is not. It is not, And I wouldn't say 460 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: it's a mason either. It's a composite to a degree, 461 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: I guess, but a very substantial composite. Obviously if you 462 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: put a composite up there and then throw a baseball 463 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: and they crack right away. So I don't know what 464 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: to make of it is, but it's it's more of 465 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: a maybe three ace of a thickness, maybe a little 466 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: bit more type sighting and rigid, more of a layered 467 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: product like a masonite. But it's not a masonite, so 468 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: I would imagine it's a proprietary product. It's been out 469 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: for about fifteen or probably ten years. 470 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 7: Now does that come pre finished or does it have 471 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 7: to be painted on site? 472 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: Or it does come pre finished. It does come pre finished, 473 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: and I can't remember exactly the how many colors they have, 474 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: but it does come pre finished. And like I said, 475 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: that finish is warranted for twenty five years. Okay, we'll 476 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: look into that. I mean, you know, look into that. 477 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm not down selling the hardy board. That is a 478 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: very good product too. It is um. I guess the 479 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: only thing I would say with a hardy board is 480 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: there is some movement in the hardy board. So calking 481 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: becomes very important, especially on your corner pieces, and probably 482 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: needs to be like a euro thing calking, not an 483 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: acrylic silkonized just because it needs a lot of it 484 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: has a lot of flex to it. 485 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 7: Okay, we'll definitely check out your recommendation. 486 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: Gary. Thank you, you're quite welcome. Thank you. Take care 487 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: all right, and we're thirty nine minutes after the top 488 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: there you can join us.

Hi Gary, Yes, sir. 490 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 8: I have a house that I put engineered flooring in 491 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 8: the engineered wood flooring and down the hallway it is 492 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 8: starting to creak. It's not the flooring, it's not the 493 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 8: sub floor, the actual engineered floor. 494 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: How do you know that just like curiosity, I screwed. 495 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 8: I screwed the sub floor down very well. 496 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: Okay, so your engineered floor is that glued down? 497 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 8: No, it's floating. 498 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: It's floating, okay. And is it a tongue in groover? 499 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: Does it snap together? 500 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 8: Snaps together? 501 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: Snaps together? Hm. 502 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 8: I heard that you can put corn starch in the cracks. 503 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: Or talcum powder. Yeah, if you Yeah, but on a 504 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: floating floating floor, yes, snap together. I mean you can 505 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: try it. I don't know. I that is a place 506 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: where floors do squeak. So it's been a tip for 507 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: literally years and years and years, even wood flo where 508 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: that you had a tongue in groove situation and it 509 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: was nailed down. Uh, you could like lubricate that tongue 510 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: where it fits into the other piece of wood flooring 511 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: with talcum powders what I always heard, and it would 512 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: just it would take away the creek. And I've used 513 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: it and it does do just that. I will say 514 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: ninety percent of it is the subfloor. But you know, 515 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: if you're sure you nailed it down real good, can 516 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: you get to the other side of the sub floor 517 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:33,479 Speaker 1: at all? 518 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 8: No? 519 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well try the corn starts. I mean, 520 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: there's no real other way that I would know anything. 521 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 8: Was the only thing I wondered about was whether the 522 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 8: corn starts would attract bugs. 523 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: I would use the talc powder. I don't know how 524 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: to answer the corn starts. May would I've always used 525 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: baby powder, talcum powder and that type of thing, and 526 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: just sweep it into the crevices, you know, the joints 527 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: if you will, yep, But you know, I mean I 528 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: usually if you started with it, it would be start 529 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: with it's either the floor of the sub floor or movement. 530 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: You know, in a really old house, you'll get a 531 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: little flex maybe of the joist itself, but usually it's 532 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: always the sub floor. But again, if if that's all 533 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: nailed down, you're still getting a squeak. Yeah, I would 534 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: use the top powder on the seams and see if 535 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: that that'd be step one because it's a very very 536 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: easy process. Yeah, okay, is it in one particular place, Fred? Uh? 537 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, going down the hallway? 538 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: Okay, of course, probably the heaviest trafficked area in the 539 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: whole house probably, right, Yeah, it always is. And you 540 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: got spacing on the sides of that floor, correct. Oh yeah, okay, 541 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: all right, Well try the seam. I mean literally, it'll 542 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: take you an hour and you'll you'll you'll be uh, 543 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: it will be applied and it's not going to hurt anything. 544 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: I think i'd stay with the talcum powder of the 545 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: baby powder and see if it helps. I'd love to 546 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 1: hear from you if it does. Okay, great, Thanks Fred, 547 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: take care, bye bye. All right.

I had a very similar issue and 614 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 3: it turned out to be where the bottom plate of 615 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 3: the interior wall was nailed to the plywood subfloor and 616 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 3: the nail was riding up and down the plywood. 617 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's usually. 618 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 9: What it Yeah, it wasn't. 619 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 3: It wasn't the floor at all. 620 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: It was yeah, wall. That's what I said when I 621 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: was telling him about the top powder of the baby powder. 622 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: I always try that first, and it's probably it maybe 623 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: fifteen percent of the time. It's almost always the sub floor. Now, 624 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: he said, he nailed down the sub floor and he 625 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: was very confident that it was sturdy, stout and non moving. 626 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: But you're exactly right, Well, drive those nails down. And 627 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: other little tip off on that was it was in 628 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: this hallway, and I jokingly said yeah, where all the 629 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: traffic is, and of course all the traffic. It just 630 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: that that nail is holding the sub floor. But over 631 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: time it does kind of work like a piston. That 632 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 1: hole just gets a little bit bigger and it gets noisy. 633 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: I mean, especially this time of year, because you got 634 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: everything shrinking. 635 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, and mine, it wasn't It wasn't a nail through 636 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 9: the you know that secured the sub forward through the 637 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,240 Speaker 9: floor joint. That was a nail that secured. 638 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: The wall to the floor, right, right. 639 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 9: So yeah, and that's that's a hard one to get to. 640 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a real hard one to get to. But 641 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: this was right in the middle of the hallway. 642 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 9: Yeah, because well, and he's got a wall on each side, right, 643 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 9: more likely. But anyway, Hey, I got a question though. 644 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:58,760 Speaker 9: I've got a house that I'm rehabing. Uh uh, and 645 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 9: it's got a terrible people must have had ten dogs 646 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,439 Speaker 9: and they didn't know what let them outside and meant, 647 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 9: I guess, so it stakes really bad. I put a 648 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 9: chemical down, don't I don't remember the name of it. 649 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 9: But it was expensive, fifty dollars a gallon, right, And 650 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 9: it's worked a bit, but not not to the extent 651 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 9: it needs to. 652 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:27,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, but what there's a wonderful product. It doesn't mask 653 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: the odor, it really eliminates the odor. And it's done 654 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,280 Speaker 1: with essential oils I've been talking about and they've sponsored 655 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: this show for probably twenty some years. I was fascinated 656 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: when I first met the person. Maybe more than that, 657 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,839 Speaker 1: but the name of it. Yeah, And they got one 658 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: called Eliminator. So they make a multitude of products. Now. 659 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: The secret with doing that is they also have these 660 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 1: or if you've got a black light, you don't have 661 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 1: to buy theirs. But they got a little pen lights 662 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,760 Speaker 1: that are a black light and you can actually shine 663 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: in a walls, you can shine it on floors. You 664 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: can actually see where the urine or whatever the mess 665 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: is was and it'll glow and then you soak that 666 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: area and yeah, go ahead. 667 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 9: How price? 668 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 2: How price you is that stuff? 669 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: What? What is that? Danny about? Thirty dollars for sixteen ounces? 670 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 1: But it makes like I think it's an I think 671 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: is that about right? I think it's like one ounce 672 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 1: per court, so four ounces to a gallon, and I 673 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,760 Speaker 1: think it's a sixteen ounce bottle, so you'd be making 674 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 1: four gallons and look at it, it's o d o r 675 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,839 Speaker 1: xiit dot com and you can also call them. I'd 676 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 1: wait till Monday and it's eight seven seven odor exit. 677 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: They've got some they got some great success stories on 678 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,359 Speaker 1: exactly what you're trying to fight, and maybe they can 679 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 1: give you some tips. 680 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, all right, well that's all. Oh god, I 681 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 9: just really was listening to that guy with his score problem, 682 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 9: and I thought, yeah, then they've done that. I thought, 683 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 9: for sure, put the screw every eight in this would 684 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 9: take care of it. 685 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,800 Speaker 1: But it didn't. Yeah, there's always something. There's a cause 686 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: and a reason for everything. Thanks Jack, I appreciate that. Paul, 687 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,760 Speaker 1: thank you. We'll move on. We'll go to Tony. 688 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 5: Tony, welcome, Hi, how are you today? 689 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: Doing fine? Thank you. 690 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 10: So. I have a house that has an attached garage 691 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 10: and a detached garage, and the person who must have 692 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 10: lived there before me must have built this detached garage, 693 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,399 Speaker 10: and he didn't do a very good job, and he 694 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 10: put the siding on himself and the back of the 695 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 10: garage where it kind of comes to a point, he 696 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,399 Speaker 10: didn't he didn't side that part of it. He only 697 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 10: decided like the horizontal part of it, and it's kind 698 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 10: of rotting whatever wood is there is rotty and letting 699 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 10: in all kinds of animals. And then the siding itself 700 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 10: is not put on properly, and it's kind of sometimes 701 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 10: in a heavy wind, flaps in the wind. And obviously 702 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 10: this garage is value to my property and I'd like 703 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 10: to make it nice. Or I don't know who to call. 704 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 10: I'm by myself, and I don't know. Do I call 705 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,320 Speaker 10: a carbenter? 706 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 5: Who do I call? I don't know. 707 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: There's some multitude. I mean, you could get a you know, 708 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: a remodeler. You could get a contractor they're probably I 709 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 1: mean they do jobs like that, reciting buildings, garage sheds, whatever. 710 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: You could possibly get a handyman if he's qualified and 711 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: that you're gonna have to get references, make sure he's 712 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: insured and everything. But those types of people depending on 713 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,320 Speaker 1: the magnitude of the job. And I just would call 714 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: several people and get their input, get their quote, make 715 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: sure they give you an estimate, make sure it's written, 716 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:02,879 Speaker 1: and what kind of sighting is on there? 717 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 10: Now, Tony, it's I think he also got it home 718 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:12,839 Speaker 10: depot or something. It's it's gotta's vinyl. It's fun and 719 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 10: he yeah, he didn't overlap it, so there's like a seam. 720 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: Yeah and. 721 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:25,800 Speaker 10: Yeah, and it's it just it's unfortunately it it's coming, 722 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 10: it's coming apart, and I just, uh, the water is 723 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,479 Speaker 10: getting in. And I had did talk to one quote 724 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 10: unquote handyman guy and he wanted to in that sense 725 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,879 Speaker 10: like put a band aid on the wood rot part, 726 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 10: like we'll just put more wood on top of it, 727 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 10: and like, I don't think that's going to fix the problem. 728 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems to me, And I can't see it, 729 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: so I can't really give you a real solid opinion, 730 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 1: but it sounds to me that, you know, the that 731 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: that vinyl sighting, you're right, when you nail vinyl sighting up, 732 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: there has to be a little bit of gap where 733 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: they nailed. In other words, it's not nailed tight, and 734 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,400 Speaker 1: then it's snaps to the siding below it. And once 735 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 1: that snap is compromised and it's wind gets behind it, 736 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:11,359 Speaker 1: it can break that little area at the top where 737 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: the nails are going in. So it's probably, you know, 738 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 1: probably pretty beat up, and it takes a special tool 739 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: to detach it, which is no big deal. And then 740 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: you got the wood rot to pay attention to and 741 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 1: then you got the wrap, and then you got to 742 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,359 Speaker 1: decide what type of siding you're going to go with. So, 743 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: you know, I would just, you know, maybe get on 744 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 1: Angie's list, or get some references from the local you know, 745 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,920 Speaker 1: big box store or a good lumberyard in your city, 746 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 1: and get some references and just start talking to people 747 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 1: and you'll get comfortable with somebody, and you'll get quotes 748 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: and then you can make a decision. All right, Thank 749 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 1: you much for the call. I appreciate it. When we 750 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 1: come back, we got John and Barb.
