1 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: All right, new weekends here, welcome aboard at home with 2 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: Garry Salvin taking it through another hour, getting a few 3 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: things done around the home, having a little chit chat 4 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: regarding the huge storm going across the center of the country. 5 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 1: I think two thousand miles and just read an interesting update, 6 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: so I bring this up so if you feel bad 7 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: about your situation, maybe maybe this one not anymore. Oh 8 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: my goodness. So, as of ten fifty four am Eastern 9 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: Standard Time on Sunday, it states that there are eight 10 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty thousand people without power, and you know, 11 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: it's kind of just getting involved in the northeast. I 12 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: think I didn't check that, so yeah, I think it's 13 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: slowly moving up that way. Yeah. The number one city 14 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: affected in terms of numbers Nashville, Tennessee, two hundred thousand people. 15 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: It's half their customer base, so they now rank first. 16 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: They're the overall winter so far half their customer base. 17 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: So it's going to take some time, I guess is 18 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: the lesson we need to learn here. And if you 19 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: are familiar with Benton, Mississippi, I'm here to tell you 20 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: every single customer is currently without power. And the comment 21 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: this article makes is the number of people without power 22 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: is coming in faster than they can update. So when 23 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: they were talking about a significant winter storm, I don't 24 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: think they were teasing us, not at all. It is significant. 25 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: So here's a little thing. You know, we still got 26 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: all this real cold weather behind the storm. For many 27 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: of us, we've got all different types of precipitation going on. 28 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: And last minute thoughts. Maybe you're sitting at a home 29 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: and it's thirteen degrees and its snowing and starting to 30 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: slow down, and you didn't do some prep work. I'm 31 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: not saying a guy go out and do a lot 32 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: of work. I'm not here to do that. But if 33 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: you have any of those covers outdoor faucets, I know 34 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: you got the water you know turned off, I got 35 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: I mean you at least got the hose disconnected. But 36 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: even on frostproof faucets, if you've got some of those 37 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: insulake covers in your windshills going down below twenty below, 38 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: I'd run out there and get that taken care of. Also, 39 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: if you are a little late for eight hundred and 40 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: sixty thousand people, but if you're in the line or 41 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: you're starting to have a little queasy feeling, getting a 42 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: little stressed out, having high anxiety about power being lost 43 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: in your home. One of the tips I heard from 44 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: somebody in the last few days, and I think it's 45 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: a great tip. I've never used it. I've thought about it, 46 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: but I've never talked about it, and that is, go 47 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: ahead and turn your thermostat up. Let's let's power heat 48 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: the house. You know, running up to seventy eighty degrees, 49 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: and you lose power, it's certainly going to take one 50 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: longer for it to cool off. I think that's legit. Refrigerator, 51 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: maybe you go the other way. Of course, we've got 52 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: a big refrigerator outside but freezes everything. But turn the 53 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: refrigerator down a little bit again, holding its temperature a 54 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: little longer, filling jugs of water and freezing them and 55 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: then putting in their frieze. That helps cool it. So 56 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: a couple of tips there. One other thing, the ice 57 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: dam issue. We got into this a lot yesterday, but 58 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: it always bears repeating, and not much you're really gonna 59 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:51,119 Speaker 1: do right now. But I do think an ice stand 60 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: on a house is talking to you. It's telling you 61 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: kind of what's wrong, why did that happen? And of 62 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: course it has to do with ventilation and insulation, and again, 63 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: not much you're going to do with about it right now, 64 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: but over the next week. If you have snow or 65 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: ice or whatever on your roof, just see how long 66 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: it stays there. Because those that have poor ventilation and 67 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: warm air is trapped in that attic. Because we also 68 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: have poor insulation on the floor of the attic, maybe 69 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: under insulated and inadequately ventilated. You introduce a lot of 70 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: the home's heat into the attic, which warms the underside 71 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: of the roof, which causes the snow melt at the 72 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: top of the roof, which then the water migrates down 73 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: the roof and then when it gets to the overhang. 74 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: You don't even need gutters to have an ice dam. 75 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: You can actually have it created right on a roof 76 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: where it goes the overhang, there is no house underneath it. 77 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: That's the coldest spot in ice forms, and it creates 78 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: a dam and the water migrates back up and under 79 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: the shingles, and if you don't have ice guard under there, 80 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:23,559 Speaker 1: enters your house. So again, if you have an ice dam, 81 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: probably the best way to address that and use this 82 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: tip many times, and I have done it take ice melter, 83 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: not salt. Put it in the legs of a pantyhose 84 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: tied at the waist and lay that across the ice dam, 85 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: and it will slowly melt the ice dam. So there's 86 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: something you can do about it. But if you see 87 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: an ice dam forming, or you're the only house on 88 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: the street where half the roof you can see the 89 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: shingles and everybody else you can see snow, you can 90 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: address that issue. My guess would be you're inadequately ventilated 91 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: and you're inadequately insulated in that attic, and that needs 92 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: to be addressed. If you've been down this road many 93 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: times and that's not the issue, maybe it's the I 94 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: don't know the way the house's position and the sun's 95 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: just hitting that area. If there is sun that can 96 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: certainly cause it. Then the answer really comes into roof cables, 97 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: and you know they go on a sawt tooth pattern 98 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: up and down the roof above the gutters. If there 99 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: is gutters, it just keeps that area thirty eight degrees 100 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: in warm and that'll prevent ice dam. So that's kind 101 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: of a quick synopsis. If you have them what to do, 102 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: and if you keep an eyeball on your roof. Over 103 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: the next three or four days, you might be able 104 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: to get the answer of you might have a potential 105 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: to down the road have ice stams or that may 106 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: have caused the ice dam if you already have them. 107 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: So keep that in mind. All right, let me give 108 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: you the phone number, and then we're going to take 109 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: a break.

Welcome, Hell Gary. 152 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 3: Yes, I have a couple of questions regarding my refrigerator. 153 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 3: I have the old style refrigerator with a freezer at 154 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 3: the top freeze at the bottom, and I just want 155 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 3: to make sure what I've done is correct. To try 156 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 3: to correct my situation, I noticed a few days a 157 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: week earlier in the week that my refrigerator part was 158 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: not cooling very well, but the freezer was doing great, 159 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 3: and so I pulled my refrigerator out, and of course 160 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 3: it was pretty dirty back there and took the back 161 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: panel off at the bottom and try to clean off 162 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 3: the coals and things that I could see best as 163 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 3: I could. But that did not remedy my situation. And 164 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,239 Speaker 3: so what I've done now is empty my refrigerator. Fortunately 165 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 3: and unfortunately it's really cold outside. So I've got things 166 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 3: and the coolers outside, you know, from a freezer and 167 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 3: a refrigerator, and I've unplugged it because what we understand, 168 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: it could freeze of something between the freezer and the refrigerator. 169 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,359 Speaker 3: Can freeze is not allow Codera to get to the bottom. 170 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: Part share the cooling the freezer is cooling your refrigerator. 171 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't know that I was reading that, and 172 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 3: so I've pulled it out, unplugged it and hopefully if that, 173 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 3: you know, if I can see if that's the problem 174 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 3: and it will fall hopefully. If not, then I guess 175 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 3: I need to call a technician. If what I I've 176 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 3: done is that the correct thing to do. 177 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: Or yeah, so you need to have airflow from the 178 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: freezer to the fridge. Is that blocked? 179 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 4: Is it? 180 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: Can you tell what? 181 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 4: Well? 182 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 3: I can't tell. You know, there's a black panel back 183 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 3: there and the ice ice maker and all that I 184 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 3: don't have to mess with that. So but you know, 185 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 3: from things I've read and things like that, that would 186 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 3: seem like the first thing to try before you call 187 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 3: it technician or whatever. And I was wondering if maybe 188 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 3: putting a fan blowing behind a refrigerator with maybe possibly 189 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 3: speed things up or whatever. And I've I've left the 190 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 3: doors open. 191 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: Are you seeing any water or anything as it melts? 192 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: I mean, if you've got it, you've got it right 193 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: now unplugged, correct. 194 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just just got this all. I just got 195 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 3: it all empty. Yeah, I just got it all emptied 196 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 3: and took out, put it in the course and put 197 00:13:58,679 --> 00:13:59,479 Speaker 3: it outside. 198 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: Can so you hear that when you hit it plugged in? 199 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: Could you hear the fan running? Because that's another thing. 200 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: The evaporated fan may not be. 201 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 4: Well. 202 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 3: I could hear a fan running, and you know it 203 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 3: would you know, come you know him all for a 204 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 3: while and then like if it's temperature and then it 205 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 3: would cut off or what have you? 206 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 4: Run? 207 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 3: So it does run, And I do hear the fan 208 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 3: running a matter of fact, when I was pulling it out. 209 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 3: When I got done, you know, vacuum me and getting 210 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 3: all the dust off the back. I did see the 211 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 3: fan cut off when I plugged it in, done the 212 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 3: motor down at the bottom, which if I guess that's 213 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 3: a fan, you're talking right, And so I guess to 214 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 3: see if it dolls and. 215 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you want to put a small fan 216 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: in the fridge and blow it upwards and you know, 217 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: I mean you can try that and look for water 218 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: to see. I mean, it can be. It can be 219 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: multiple things. And and the thing you did, you know, 220 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: cleaning the coils, that would be the first thing. The 221 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: most common thing, quite honestly, is the vents are either 222 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: frozen or blocking the air current, either by you know, 223 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: being frozen or just an accumulation of dirt. If vents 224 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: are riced up, of course, what you're gonna do is 225 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: exactly what you did. Open up the doors, unplug it, 226 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: wait for some you know, sign that there's a thall 227 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: going on. Usually it'll start dripping. But then you get 228 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: into other things, you know, and that is like there's 229 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: a heater in there, and the defrost heater could be bad. 230 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: That's what I just had replaced in mind, the defrost 231 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: thermostat the control board. I mean, there's even a damper 232 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: in there that could be stuck. So there's multiple things. 233 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: But I think from what you're kind of telling me, Gary, 234 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: is is what you can do. You're on the right path. Okay, 235 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: so you've unplugged it, if you've opened the doors, you're 236 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: looking for melt, and you know, whether that's the problem. 237 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: We don't know yet, but that very well could be 238 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: the problem. Try to put a little more emphasis. If 239 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: you can get to those vents, you might take a 240 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: good look at that. That's that is a you know, 241 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: not just with frost, but with actual dirt. So that 242 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: might be the only thing that you would also want 243 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: to get into. Otherwise, if you get into the defrost 244 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: heater and that, yeah, technician, probably the way to go. 245 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 3: Okay, And I have one other question. Okay, when I 246 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 3: pulled it out the other day, and I've pulled that 247 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 3: thing out before in this the re done this, but 248 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 3: I guess the wheels were maybe stuck or what have you. 249 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 3: I have a it's not per goal, but it was 250 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 3: like it's the same thing. It was like a competing 251 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 3: brand on the four. Yeah, and so it the wheels 252 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 3: put like a mark across the floor. And now it's 253 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 3: not a scratch. You can't feel it or anything like that. 254 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 3: It seems like it sort of took the gloss off 255 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 3: or whatever. And I've taken a rag with some warm 256 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 3: water cold water and just rubbed it really hard, try 257 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 3: to see if maybe that might blint make it bleing 258 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 3: back in. 259 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: But it didn't and probably but probably not. And the 260 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: reason the wi those floors are made, it's laminate flooring, 261 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: which is similar to like a formica countertop. That's a laminate. 262 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: And I've been to plants before where they make that. 263 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, twenty layers of paper and then 264 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: the last layer of paper looks like wood grain, and 265 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: then a real thin sheet of plastic goes on top 266 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: of that, and then it's compressed and that plastic has 267 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: got a mar in it. Now that's what. 268 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 3: I was thinking. It's just basically like just took the. 269 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: Right And that's when you said gene right away, and 270 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: you said, you know, I can't feel it's not gouged. 271 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: That's exactly that plastic is scratched. 272 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 3: The other about it inch wide. Yeah, that's not a 273 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 3: whole lot of little. 274 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I had I had that. That's yeah, that's a 275 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: very common thing they have happened. What happens is is 276 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: that refriger sits there for a while. And the way 277 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: that is constructed, and it is a floating floor, those 278 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: wheels kind of settle into that floor a little bit. 279 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 4: You know. 280 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: It's not like they sunk halfway down, but they sunk 281 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: a little and and that's what when you pull them out. 282 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: The only way you can be safe of pulling out 283 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: is some of those round plastic sliders where it extends out. 284 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: You tilt it back and just slide. And they're not 285 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: that thick. I'm just telling you from for next time. 286 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: It's very it's a very calm thing. So you know, 287 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: maybe we can save somebody else from making that mistake, 288 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: but it's a common mistake and there's not much you're 289 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 1: gonna do with that.

Welcome, Hey Gary, good morning morning. 337 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 5: So as I'm sitting here, it's really cool, I'm thinking 338 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 5: about the efficiency of my heat pump outside. So the 339 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 5: line set that runs from the house of the heat pump. 340 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 5: Would it be if I were to replace the insulation 341 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 5: in the winter time, does that help me the same 342 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 5: that would in the summertime. 343 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: Minimally? What is what? What is the issue? Is it rotted? 344 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 4: Yeah? 345 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: Well, I mean if it's in bed sat yeah, if 346 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: it's in bad shape, sure, But I guess my question you, Josh, 347 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: really is what is the heat pump doing that's causing 348 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: you concern at this point on the inside of the house. 349 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 5: I mean, no real concern. It just you know, doesn't 350 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 5: feel like it's satisfying the temperature. So I was wondering 351 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 5: if it were a little more efficient, like you know, 352 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 5: like my insulation on the line set was bad. You know, 353 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 5: if I were to replace that, if that would it 354 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 5: would help to a degree. 355 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: I would say, do you have a highbred system with 356 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: the heat pump outside? Or is it electric and electric 357 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: or what is it? 358 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 5: It's yeah, it's electric electric. The heat pumps, the air conditioner, everything's. 359 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: Outside, okay, and you know that electric heat pumps only 360 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 1: going to be good. It's probably not functioning to a 361 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: degree right now anyway, it's probably gone to the electric 362 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: furnace and that's probably you know, carrying a ball at 363 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: this point. You're the electric heat pump outside or that 364 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: condensing unit is probably good down to about thirty degrees. 365 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 5: But if if the installation on the copper pipes running 366 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 5: back and forth, like if it's degraded now like it 367 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 5: it's not that big a deal during the wintertime, but obviously, 368 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 5: well it's my conditioned air. 369 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always a deal. I'm just saying I don't 370 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: think it's going to make a noticeable difference to you. 371 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: If it's degrading, yes, I would certainly replace it. It's 372 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: going to help to a degree. I don't know if 373 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: you're ever going to really feel that difference. 374 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, that's what I suppose I wanted to know. 375 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I would say, probably what you're really feeling. 376 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: In fact, whenever I'll get a heat pump call and 377 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: it's a really cold weekend or whatever, nine out of 378 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: ten times it's it's just that that heat pump is 379 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: no longer doing it the uh, it's it's flipped back 380 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: to the electric heat, and the electric heats coming out 381 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: at about eighty eighty five degrees different than a gas 382 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: would be, and it can actually feel drafty with electric heat. 383 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: I've lived in both types of homes and it's that's 384 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: very true. I mean, when it's cold, it's just not 385 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: as comfortable as a gas heater in the low heat. 386 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna guess that's what you're feeling. 387 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, most likely so cool. All right, thank you, all right. 388 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: Very good, thank you, appreciate it. All right again, it's 389 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two three eight two five five 390 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: and we have Jeff. Jeff welcome. 391 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 4: How are you doing? Gary? 392 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: Doing great? Thank you. 393 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 4: I've got a question for you real quick. I know 394 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 4: you've been talking about the winter. But I moved in 395 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 4: with my daughter and this house was back in nineteen 396 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 4: eighteen and there is lead paint on the trim and 397 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 4: she got that what is it that the dicapsulating paint? 398 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: Yes, or lead? 399 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 4: But it said if it's cracked or peeling, not to 400 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 4: use it. 401 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: Right, I don't understand that. 402 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 7: Well, the reason would be it would be the same 403 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 7: as if you called the show right now, Let's say 404 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 7: there's not lead paint there, okay, and you said, hey, 405 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 7: recommend a good paint for trim, and I'd say, well, 406 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 7: what kind of what are we painting over? 407 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: Well, we're painting over paint. What kind of shapes it in? Well, 408 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: it's peeling in a couple places, and it's cracked, And 409 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to say the first thing I'm going to 410 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: say is, well, it's not going to really do you 411 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: any good to paint that because you're painting paint that 412 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: is already failing. You're not painting the substrate, you're painting 413 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: failing paint. So the encapsulan is is a is a 414 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: wonderful product because it encapsulates the the lead paint. So 415 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: it's a protectant. Okay, it's like putting a giant band 416 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: aid over it. It's protecting it. But but it'd be 417 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: the same as trying to paint bad pain. So if 418 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: it's already cracked and already painting failing, you know, really 419 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: what you'd want to do is you would you don't 420 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: want to stand it, right, And there's some ways to 421 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: remove it that are not too hateful, and one would 422 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: be with a product called peel Away. I don't know 423 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: if you've ever used that. There's a website. It's Dumont 424 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: d U m O n D Dumont Global dot com. 425 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: They make environmentally friendly strippers, and the one that I'm 426 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: thinking about is the Advantage Smart strip. Advantage that's not 427 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: going to really work on lead based paints. Lead based 428 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: paints are it'll work on about ninety percent of the 429 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: paints inside homes. But the ap peel Away, if it's 430 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: if it's just lead based paints right on the top 431 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: was designed to remove lead based paints up to thirty 432 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: five coats. I'm sure you don't have that. 433 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 4: Wow. 434 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's very effective. They use it in a 435 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: lot of old cathedrals in Europe. They've used it on 436 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: the Capitol, They've used it multiple places. And they even 437 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: have a little test hit where you can just test 438 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: to make sure not that it's lead, but to make 439 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: sure there isn't another type of paint on the top 440 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: of it or whatever is going on. It will identify 441 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: it and it'll recommend one of the four strippers that 442 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: they sell, because a lot of times people will start 443 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: using it on this type of pain, that type of 444 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: pain stuff doesn't work well. That's because there are so 445 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: many different paints over the course of time. It's a 446 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: very inexpensive. You try, you little do dabs and you 447 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: find out exactly And my guess is, and I feel 448 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: very confident I'm right, but I'd still probably get the 449 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: little you know, I. 450 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 4: Like it, is it fafe to do that indoors it 451 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 4: being led? I mean, would you just have to put 452 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 4: like a little respi rate or on. 453 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: Well, you would follow the directions on it. But my 454 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: quick answer is you probably will not have to do 455 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: that because one of the if it is the on 456 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: the other ones, you definitely would not. On the peel away. 457 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: The only time you'd really get into that is if 458 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: you were using a mechanical way to remove that, and 459 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: that's not recommended. With the peel away, it's it's almost 460 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: like a haste. Okay, So you're brushing his paste over 461 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: this surface and then you're putting a lambinate cloth on it, 462 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: and you're even doing that with some of the other 463 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: ones they have. You put a little lambinate cloth on 464 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: it overnight, and when you come back the next day, 465 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: you pull the lambinate cloth off and it pulls the 466 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: lead paint with it, so it's attached now to the cloth. 467 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: It's a phenomenal perfect and you literally roll it up 468 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: and dispose. 469 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 4: Of it so that the problem with the lead is 470 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 4: the dust. 471 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: The dust that is correct, and it's like asbestos. You 472 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: would breathe it in the dust and you know, I mean, yeah, 473 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: I remember thirty years ago a friend of mine said, hey, 474 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: I got I'm going to repaint my gutters and I 475 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: know I got lead based paint on there, and you know, 476 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: and I said, well, how are you going to remove 477 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: that paint? And he goes, this is back in the 478 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: day when you would use a pro paint torch. You'd 479 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: burn the paint off. And I said, well, Tom, you 480 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: can't do that. You're going to breathe that and uh, 481 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: I guess he didn't believe me, and he ended up 482 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: getting very sick. Wow, because he's breathing those fumes. 483 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, my daughter's just freaking out, going, oh, we got to, 484 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 4: you know, take the trim off, go outside and take 485 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 4: it off. And it's like, man, there's there's no way 486 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 4: because there's hundreds of feet of that stuff right right, Okay, 487 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 4: it's it's a it's a Yeah, it's a it's a 488 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 4: big deal. 489 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: I mean it really is. And even if you came 490 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: and had new doors. Let's say you bought doors from 491 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: somebody in a you know company, who's going to come 492 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: and install the doors, they have to take precautions on 493 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: just taking those doors off. I mean they'd have to 494 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: tent that, they would have to treat it as hazardous material. 495 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: You know why, because you're you're going to create some dust. 496 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: That's the issue. Even in older homes, that dust gets 497 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: down between the baseboard and the carpet or the wood floor, 498 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: and then you're living with it. And then we got 499 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: you know, furnaces that are circulating air. You see where 500 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: the problem is. So your best to either encapsulate it 501 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: when you when it's if it's in good shape, and 502 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: if it's in bed shape, you know, remove it with 503 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: like the peel away, and don't try to you know. 504 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 4: Breaks I did. He flipped this house. This house was 505 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 4: built in nineteen eighteen. We're down in a middle town 506 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 4: and he just went around, sayding stuff and I'm finding 507 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 4: you know, dust in the registers right freaking out because 508 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 4: they can't somebody came and they tested for lead, right, 509 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 4: and it was on the trim, right, so well, who 510 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 4: knows what's underneath the floor that he put a new 511 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 4: floor down. 512 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, and even in those homes, asbestos 513 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: was used a lot for boiler pipes insulation. I mean, 514 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: you know they're you're doing the right thing. I mean, 515 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: there is certainly ways to clean this up, and but 516 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't do the research and they 517 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: do the easy way out and that's not a good. 518 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 4: Option scraping and sanding, and then everybody's sick, right, Okay, good, 519 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 4: all right, Gary, thank you very much. 520 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: All right, you bet you take care of you too, 521 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: my bye.

Some cities 528 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: are doing that at their cost and not yours. And 529 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the main line.

It's not healthy. 537 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,280 Speaker 1: It's not healthy. It's one of the really difficult things 538 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: with older stock housing in older cities.

All right, let's go to Ken Ken Welcome. 591 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 6: Yes, thanks Gary. Well, a couple questions for you. All right, Well, 592 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 6: I'm signing to look around the house checking on the 593 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,439 Speaker 6: temperature on walls and so on. I've found a vent 594 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 6: in my gasburry fireplace. I was reading like thirty degrees. 595 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 6: And the question is is that vent needed? You see 596 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 6: a wood burning fireplace. 597 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's using the outdoor air for combustion. I'm guessing 598 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: it would be needed. I'd have to probably really should 599 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 1: get probably too late now, but I wouldn't change anything 600 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 1: right now. But if you get that cleaned or inspected 601 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: every couple yours, I would certainly ask that question. My 602 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,919 Speaker 1: guess is, just like your furnaces brings in outdoor errors 603 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: because our homes are tight. Now that that's what that's 604 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: there for. 605 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 6: Okay, so I can least cover it up when I'm 606 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 6: not using the fireplace. 607 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're not using it, sure, Yeah, Okay. 608 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 6: The second question is one of your fun topics of 609 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:26,399 Speaker 6: attic ventilation. I'm finding that my attic right now, it's 610 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 6: one of my two addicts is reading about forty some 611 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 6: degrees and the other one twenty some degrees. And I'm 612 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 6: not quite sure why it's so warm up there. I 613 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 6: have about twenty four inches of insulation. I have a 614 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 6: gable vent as well as a ridge vent, and my 615 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 6: community is about forty nine degrees and the one and 616 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 6: about fifty seven and the other. And I'm not quite 617 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 6: sure why it's so warm, and so humidity is so high. 618 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I wouldn't be too worried about the twenty 619 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:05,399 Speaker 1: six but forty Yeah, so you got a ridge vent. 620 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: Then you said you had gable vents. Do you have 621 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:09,760 Speaker 1: any soft events? 622 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 6: I do, but I can't trust that they're open. We 623 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 6: just had a new roof put on last summer, and 624 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,720 Speaker 6: when I was when they took off all the sheating, 625 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 6: I noticed that half the vent was covered up by 626 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 6: just wood. So I want to open it up on 627 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 6: the lower attic. But the opera addict, I don't know. 628 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So I think that's your issue and let 629 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: me explain it. So um so the ridge vent and 630 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,800 Speaker 1: I spoke many times about how the attic kind of 631 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: works like a chimney. The soft events, the lowest, lowest 632 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: part of that roof is back filling or pushing air 633 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 1: out of the ridge vent, and hot air rises. It 634 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,839 Speaker 1: can't rise and go out that ridge vent until there's 635 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 1: air replacement, and that air replacement being brought down at 636 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: the level of the floor of the attic pushes that 637 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:13,239 Speaker 1: whole entire air mass up and out the ridge vent. 638 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 1: If those are blocked and we have a ridge vent 639 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: and then we have those gable vents, it's pulling air 640 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 1: right from the gable and right out the ridge It's 641 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: not lifting the mass. Does that makes sense, Yes, sir, okay, 642 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: I think that's what I think. That's what's happening. Quite honestly, 643 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: in a whole ventilation system, probably shouldn't even have those 644 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: gable vents and and the ridge event will be there, 645 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,840 Speaker 1: and the soft events will be your sole source of 646 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: bringing in the air to push the warm air out. 647 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 4: So I ran a. 648 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 6: Test and I closed up those gable events. I have 649 00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:01,320 Speaker 6: a a one of the smart smidifier admitist that have 650 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 6: your gage is in there now. I didn't there just 651 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 6: much change in the temperature last fall when I close 652 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,279 Speaker 6: up the gable vents. That was a test there. One 653 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,359 Speaker 6: thing I was going to do is put a fan 654 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 6: on one of the gables and put a touch it 655 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 6: to the admitist that thermoset and when it got too 656 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 6: hot or too humid, just fully air out of the attic. 657 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 1: But you can do that, it might be pulling it 658 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 1: down through the rich vent though. 659 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 6: Okay, well I'm still getting more. 660 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean the whole concept though, to get proper ventilation, 661 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 1: and there's a formula for that too, you should have 662 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: more coming in than going out. And but the whole 663 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,360 Speaker 1: concept is the lower you can get the intake, the 664 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 1: more you're going to help control that temperature, uh in 665 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:55,400 Speaker 1: that attic. 666 00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 6: So now when it comes when it comes to the humidity, 667 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 6: is it high? I don't know if there's a vapor 668 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 6: bearer below the original insulation. Is that possible that I'm 669 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 6: getting humidity from the house up into the attic? 670 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: Could be? Yeah, sure, a lot of times when you 671 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:15,919 Speaker 1: really have somebody come in and do like a whole 672 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: energy audit of the home. In fact, that new buzzwords 673 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,800 Speaker 1: I'm picking up in the industry Now. I used to 674 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: always start the insulation and ventilation, but now it's insulation, ventilation, 675 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,840 Speaker 1: and ceiling so you know, sealing the can lights, ceiling 676 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,839 Speaker 1: openings in the ceilings of the house itself that minimize 677 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,759 Speaker 1: the heat from the attict even get there in the 678 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 1: first place. And then the proper ventilation of any type 679 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:46,399 Speaker 1: of fans, whether it's cooking or bathroom fans. Ken, thank 680 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: you so much for Colin. I appreciate it. And annyboy 681 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 1: excuse me, thank you.
