I'm 10 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: sure we're inundated with news on the weather, the rain, 11 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: the snow, the ice, the freezing rain, and you know 12 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: there's so much to talk about that in terms of 13 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: safety and protecting our homes and ourselves. But you walk 14 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: a thin line of trying to make it sound sensational, 15 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: and I'm not here to make it sensational. I do 16 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: want to talk about a lot of things today, and 17 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: today's show we've got it intermixed with some very much 18 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: weather generated news, from generator safety to snowblower safety, does 19 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: space heater safety to different melting compounds, garage doors. We'll 20 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,639 Speaker 1: get into that water heaters, locks, and of course frozen pipes, 21 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: outdoor faucets, and it goes on and on, and I 22 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: plan on being able to share that information with you. 23 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: And I also plan on looking ahead always a good idea. 24 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: We do it often in this show, and that is 25 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: talking about things you may not think about or maybe 26 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: you're planning on adding to your home or maintaining. And 27 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: one of the things we talk about a lot that 28 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 1: kind of even goes in with the weather too, is roofs. 29 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: And we've had roofers on the show. We've talked about 30 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: shingled roofing. We've talked about aging shingle roofing where you 31 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: can put it almost like an adhesive and by extra 32 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: years with a product called roof Max, and so shingled roofing, 33 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: asphalt roofing, metal roofing. Today we have a guest in 34 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: the next hour, but think about it. It is a 35 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: it's another type of roofing material, a roofing material that 36 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: can stand up to one hundred and eighty mile hour winds, 37 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: severe weather conditions, resist as a class four rating on hail, 38 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: Class A rating on fire. It's lightweight, it's durable, it 39 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: resists rotting bugs, moss, fungus, easy maintenance, it's recyclable and 40 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: has a lifetime warranty. Intrigued, well, I hope you are, 41 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: and we'll share that information at the bottom of the 42 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: next hour.

And another thing I just want to 45 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: mention is, you know, I know there's a lot of 46 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: people listening right now have strong concerns about power failure 47 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: and receiving information. And remember, even in power failures, there's 48 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: a good chance the streaming radio will work if your 49 00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: phone is charged and our show is streamed. So take 50 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: me with you, and if you're looking for information, we'll 51 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: be there.

But it never hurts to review because 65 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: I guarantee you there will be There will be home fires, 66 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: carbon monoxide issues, people that have fallen, people that are 67 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: over exerted, and I want to cover those today with you, 68 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: and if you have a question, I encourage you to 69 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: jump on board. Love to talk to you. It's eight 70 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: hundred eight two three eight two five five and Tom 71 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: you lead us off. 72 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 2: Welcome, Hey, good morning, Garrett, Thanks for taking my call 73 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 2: so quickly. I have a fifty five year old house. 74 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: The garage appears to have been painted only once, I 75 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 2: presume after it was built, but it may have been 76 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: between then and the thirty years ago that we moved in. 77 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 2: We decided to have it repainted because things were chipping 78 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: off and it was looking pretty poorly, and so we 79 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: had someone do that last within the last year, and 80 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: the paint is chipping off again. Even though he removed, 81 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: you know, he scraped, he sanded, he primed in those 82 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: places where he needed where he thought he needed to, 83 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 2: but it's just chipping off again, and we're wondering if 84 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 2: there's something that can be used underneath to repainted again, 85 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 2: or whether it's some composition perhaps in the wallboard that 86 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: they used fifty five years ago. It only had one 87 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: coat before we repainted it. That's the one thing we 88 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 2: know for sure. 89 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: And when was that coat. How old is that coat 90 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: of paint the original one? Yeah, yes, there's just one 91 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: coat of just trying to determine. 92 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 2: What years old, because we moved in thirty years ago 93 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: and we have it, didn't paint it until last year. 94 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So if it's thirty years ago, we're certainly 95 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: in the nineties and we got good late text quality paints. 96 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: If we're fifty years ago, we're back in the seventies 97 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: and we could have oil based paint. 98 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: Right, that's true. We've thought about that. 99 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 3: I asked. 100 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: I had the painter her out the other day to 101 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 2: see what we might do, and we talked about that. 102 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: He wasn't sure, he didn't think so, but it was possible. 103 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: That's true. 104 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: So you know, modern paints quite honestly, I mean, chipping 105 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: and peeling is not as prevalent as it was fifty 106 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: years ago because oil based paints did not breathe. And 107 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: there's two basic categories that cause paints to fail peel, 108 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: chip away, and that is moisture and preparation. 109 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 3: Preparation. 110 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, if I was painted forty 111 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: years ago and you got forty years out of it, 112 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: I'd say that's pretty good. It's probably prepared great. Moisture 113 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: can always be a problem. 114 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 2: I don't think it's moisture because the roofs have been 115 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: I've replaced in the thirty years we've lived here. We 116 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: have replaced the roof twice fairly recently, so I don't 117 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 2: think there's any moisture issue at least coming through the 118 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: roof is of course, the garage is separate from the 119 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: rest of the house. I mean they're connected, but it's 120 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 2: one story as opposed to the rest of the house. 121 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: It's two story. 122 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: So is it? 123 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 2: It's stone? It's what I'm sorry, The exterior is stone. 124 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: Okay, So how bad is it right now? 125 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: It's getting pretty bad? 126 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 3: Okay. 127 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 2: There's going to be a lot of work no matter 128 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 2: what needs to be done. Okay, but the key is 129 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 2: to figure out what to do. 130 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: Right, right, right, So I guess the first thing you 131 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: do is envision if you went in there and you 132 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: just lightly sand and kind of scraped and maybe puttied 133 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: and then we painted. What we're painting is paint that 134 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: is still attached. Right, So the big question is when's 135 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: that being fet. 136 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 2: Pry thinks that, you know, it was chipping off so 137 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 2: very nicely when he got to it, you know, like 138 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 2: it was just peeling off. It wasn't chipping off, it 139 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 2: was peeling off the original right, So about like that now, 140 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 2: he says. 141 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: So, the interesting thing is you said, is peeling off 142 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: down to the original paint? 143 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 2: Is that it it's peeling off down to the original wall, 144 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 2: down to the original wall, which is on the inside 145 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 2: of the garage. 146 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: Is what the stone too? Or is it block? 147 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 2: No, it's no, it's covered with. 148 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 4: Ball board. 149 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: Okay, so it's drywall that's on there, the trywall. 150 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 5: Yeah. 151 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: Well, let's do the first thing first. Get a piece 152 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: of plastic and you say, it's probably not this, but 153 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: let's be sure. Maybe eighteen inch by eighteen inch, put 154 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: a little duct tape around it. Take that up on 155 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 1: the wall where it's kind of pealing. Let us sit 156 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: there for about three or four or five days and 157 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: see if moisture forms on the inside of that plastic. 158 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: Oh cool, And if it is, of course that's our problem. 159 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: The problem's generating from the outside, probably the mortar between 160 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: the stones that's causing appealing And then you know, the 161 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: next thing that I would say would be back to 162 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: the the actual wall that you're painting. If it weren't 163 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: oil based paint and somebody's just using a non primer 164 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: and latex paint, over time, it would peel. I'm still 165 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: kind of betting on the moisture, to be honest with you, 166 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: because moisture does so many weird things, and it gets 167 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: into so many weird places. Let's start there and try 168 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: to determine what's causing it, because the alternative is we 169 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: want to get as much of that paint off as 170 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: we can before we repaint. And I would probably use 171 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: a self priming good exterior paint, even though it's on 172 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: the inside. It'll be fine, But I would start there. 173 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 2: So hold on a second, self priming exterior paint, did 174 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 2: you right, right? 175 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: Okay, you can use either or in a garage, but 176 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: I would use the exterior. 177 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 2: I would point out with regard to the moisture that 178 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: Let's see, two of the walls are exterior. One of 179 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 2: them is fully interior to a line of your room 180 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: and bathroom and a hallway behind it. And the other 181 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: wall is halfway inside the house and halfway outside of 182 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 2: the house. So it's got both situations. Yeah, direct to 183 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 2: the exterior and directly well, you. 184 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: Can use it, Like I said, you can go either way. 185 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: The advantage of an exterior paint is it's you know, 186 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: it's it's designed with a little bit more solids, especially 187 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: with temperature variations that you're going to have in a garage. 188 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: But before I really give you any advice at all time, 189 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: I think we really got to, you know, do a 190 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: couple of squares of plastic and let's just see if 191 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: moisture is really really the problem. And at that case, 192 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: let's call back and let's regroup depending on what there 193 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: whether there is moisture or not, moisture is the way 194 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: we'll attack the problem.

I'm sure you're 238 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: concerned a little bit about the trees around your home. 239 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: So that's why we have mister Wilson, Ron Wilson.

You know, you had Ron 244 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: rothis on your show, Yes, the tree expert. You were 245 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: talking about all the weak links in a tree. Yes, 246 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: And you know a lot of times we see a 247 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: nice tree and we just kind of like it's a 248 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: nice tree. We don't really think about it. And then 249 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: when they start talking about freezing rain and trees falling down. 250 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: I heard one person this is a good tip. I 251 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: never thought about this. If you have a lot of trees, 252 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: like my daughter who lives in Charlotte, she and they're 253 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: supposed to have freezing rain. It's got some huge, huge, 254 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: huge oak trees around her house. And it was talking 255 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: about finding a safe space in your home. And basically 256 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: what this meteorologist out of Charlotte was saying was try 257 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: to anticipate if you had problems with the trees where 258 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: you're sleeping inside your house. Good point, I mean it 259 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: is a good point, isn't it for. 260 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 3: When a storm comes through? 261 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah exactly, because I would be nervous about that. 262 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 3: We sure stand outside and look if it fell over 263 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: or something broke off, where would it fall into the home? 264 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. 265 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 3: And that might not be a bad thing to do 266 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 3: if they're closed. Now, of course with the oak trees, 267 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 3: they're pretty stable. 268 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, but pretty rotted limbs up there and stuff off. 269 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 3: Actually, absolutely if. 270 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: They weren't maintained, which is back to the old maintenance thing. 271 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 3: Exactly a little bit of prep work, Garry Sullivan prep work. 272 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 3: But yeah, you're right, And so I you know, you 273 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,239 Speaker 3: don't think of that, but it's true just in case, right, 274 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 3: something would happen. Where would that tree fall, Where would 275 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 3: those trees fall? Where would you be the safest? 276 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: So I don't expect anybody get up in their tree. 277 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 3: Carry is this tree supposed to be in our attic? 278 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, So that's not even funny. No, it's not, 279 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: you know it's not. But is there? I mean, there's 280 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: nothing we can do now, is there or do you 281 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: get the binoculars out and look for tree branches that 282 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: are already cracked and just kind of hanging up there. 283 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 3: Actually you do, you know, you know, anytime a windstorm 284 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 3: comes through, an ice storm, snowstorm, you know it is good, 285 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 3: you know, a week later to go outside after everything 286 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 3: clears out, and whether you use your cell phone and 287 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 3: kind of you know, expand or binoculars or whatever. But 288 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 3: visually inspect evergreens, spe actually bigger evergreens and other trees 289 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 3: for cracks, breaks, broken branches that may be hanging up 290 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 3: in the tree itself. And then of course have someone 291 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 3: come out and the certified armists come out and get 292 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 3: it taken care of. But yeah, absolutely inspect for that 293 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 3: because you never know. You and I have talked about 294 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 3: this before, unforse the situation in our town where weeks 295 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 3: after a storm branch had broken. Young lady playing in 296 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 3: the street, wind kind of blown a little bit, tree falls, 297 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 3: branch falls out and hits her and killed her. Yeah, 298 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 3: so that's kind of a. 299 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: Flu points out the need.

Have 358 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 6: a problem with the buildup of ice dams and had 359 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 6: a situation. It was last year with the ice dams 360 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 6: and we brought a contractor in who said that the 361 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 6: problem was and we had blown in insulation several years ago. 362 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,719 Speaker 6: There was no provision for the air to escape the house, 363 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 6: I guess in a fact, so there was some kind 364 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 6: of a baffle arrangement that he installed through the insulation 365 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 6: and contiguous to the roof, and then these like two 366 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 6: or three inch little vents along the same along the roof, 367 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 6: and also said that we had louvers about halfway three 368 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 6: quarters away up in the roof that he said was 369 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 6: preventing the warm air from evacuating, and closed off those 370 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 6: two louver arrangements. Said the ridge vanes were open, which 371 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 6: would allow the air to escape, the warm air to escape, 372 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 6: and before he did it at the where the doing 373 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 6: a bad job of describing this, but it was thirty 374 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 6: eight degrees at the bottom of the roof, you might say, 375 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 6: in fifty at the top of the roof. 376 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. 377 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 6: Closed off the two louvered vents. 378 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. 379 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 6: You said we're preventing the heat from rising. 380 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: I agree, said it. 381 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 6: He said it dropped to thirty eight degrees. Okay, so 382 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 6: it was thirty eight degrees in all the years that 383 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 6: he checked good. And my understanding was, and I don't 384 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 6: know what I'm talking about, but you can never have 385 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 6: too much ventilation. 386 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 1: Well, there is a formula for ventilation. So basically, if 387 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: you look at your attic as the chimney, you know, 388 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: and the fire's down at the bottom, and the chimney's 389 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: allowing the hot air which always rises, to go out 390 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: the chimney, the same holds true in the attic. And 391 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: if your warm temperatures are up at the top and 392 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: there's snow on the roof, the snow melts and then 393 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: as it works down the roof, it gets to the 394 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: overhang where there is no house above the overhang, and 395 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: it freezes and then you get ice dams. But there 396 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: is a formula, and you know what you need is 397 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: you need intake air, and that is usually along the sofets, 398 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: underneath the gutter. That's where they usually are. And then 399 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: there's a ridge vent at the top. And he's exactly right. 400 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: Those gable vents or vents on the side of the house. 401 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: If you have those and you don't block them up, 402 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: that air will come in there and go right out 403 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: through the ridge vent, and you're not really lifting the 404 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: hot air out of the attic out but if you 405 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: put them low, it allows the hot air to escape 406 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: because it's getting a feeder air coming in which is colder. 407 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: So that's basically how it works. And when you said 408 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: you can never have too much ventilation, the thing I 409 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: always preach Eric and everybody should remember it's insulation and ventilation. 410 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: They work hand in hand and they're very important that 411 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: they're in balance. Usually you'll have sixty percent more air 412 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: intake than forty percent outtakes, so you want to be 413 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: bringing more air in and forcing that hot air out. 414 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: And uh, it's also the formula is for every three 415 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 1: hundred square foot, and that's the footprint of the house itself, 416 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: not the square footage of the house, you would have 417 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: one square foot of uninterrupted ventilation. In other words, there's 418 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: no you know, screening in there or anything along those lanes. 419 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: So there's a calculation that comes in and if you 420 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: have that imbalance, you won't have that problem. 421 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 6: Gotcha a matter? How can I measure that? 422 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: Well? Like on that do you have the soft inventing? 423 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 6: Yes? 424 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: Okay, so you can, you know, get a flashlight if 425 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: you want to see if there's a screen in there. 426 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say if you have soft inventing, I'm gonna 427 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: say fifty to sixty percent of that is interrupted. You know, 428 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: it's got screen in there, and it's got some louvers 429 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: in there, so usually about fifty percent of it's interrupted. However, 430 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: if somebody has never cleaned that soft eventing and there's 431 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:25,239 Speaker 1: been spider webs and dirt or inside they reinsulated and 432 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: they didn't have those baffles and the insulation covered those 433 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: soft events, then you may you may have the soft events, 434 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: but you may not have any any passageway for the 435 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: air to get through into the attic. So the first 436 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: thing is making sure you got an open highway. 437 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 6: Right, And that was what the contractor installed these i'll 438 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 6: say baffle kind of things. 439 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: M hm. 440 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 6: Was it was plastic and they put it down contiguous 441 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 6: to the rough, tucked it down to these three and 442 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 6: little units and said the air will come in through 443 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 6: these three. 444 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: And right right. Well, he sounds like, yeah, he sounds 445 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: like he knows what he's talking about. So what's your question. 446 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: Are you just concerned that it's still not working or what? 447 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 6: No, that's it because I've got ice dams again. 448 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: Okay, so they're. 449 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 6: Certainly not as bad, but still I'm still experiencing, So 450 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 6: I guess, So going back to the old insulation and ventilation. 451 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: My next question is there are several things that cause it. 452 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: I'll get that to a second, but one of the things, 453 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: you know, we we we corrected the ventilation issue. The 454 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: next thing is how much insulation do you have on 455 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: the bottom of that attic floor. I can't tell you that, Okay, 456 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: So that would be the next thing because there would 457 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: still you got to remember your house is underneath that 458 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: attic floor. If there's not proper ventilation, that warm air 459 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: can go around can lights in the ceiling and get 460 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: into the attic. There's the house. Air can get into 461 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: that attic. And even though you have ventilation, if you 462 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: have an abundance of warmer air and it warms the 463 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: underbelly of that roof, of course you're gonna have melt 464 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: and you run the risk of ice dams. Other things 465 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: that cause ice dams the length of the overhang itself 466 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: where there is no house underneath it. It could be 467 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: anywhere from probably eight inches to three feet. The bigger 468 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: the overhang, the more chance that an ice dam will form. 469 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: If we have let's say in your area, let's say 470 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: the Department of Energy says you should have an R 471 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: forty two that's probably around sixteen to eighteen inches of 472 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: insulation on the floor. If you got twelve, uh, that 473 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: could be part of the problem. The direction of house 474 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: sits where the sun would hit the top part of 475 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: the roof and cause the ice to melt just from 476 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: the outdoor environment, that could be part of the problem. 477 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: And then the solution, after you've addressed all those other 478 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: issues eric would be And it'sues a lot out west 479 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: in the mountain areas. Is heat tapes roof tapes, not 480 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: not the plumbing tapes. Roof cables. Yes, about the size 481 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: of a pencil, and they go on a saw tooth 482 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: pattern on the roof itself, and then that lays in 483 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: the gutter and lays in into the down spouts and 484 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: it keeps that all snow melted so that the ice 485 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: can't accumulate. 486 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 6: Does on a thermostead or. 487 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: Is it always that it's it operates on a thermostat 488 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: the biggest problem is people don't plug them in. And 489 00:30:58,560 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: what you want to do is you want to put 490 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: an electric outdoor box up there by the gutter and 491 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: plug it in and keep it plugged in and have 492 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: the thermostat and it'll it'll warm that area to thirty 493 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: eight degrees, so it's above freezing. 494 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 6: As that operates on a thermostat correct. The other thing 495 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 6: was that we had a person who installs blown in 496 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 6: insulation looking at the insulation this past summer and he said, 497 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 6: I don't think I can do any good for you. 498 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 6: You have a chimney that comes through the attic which 499 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 6: we use just for cosmetic reasons, not for generating heat. 500 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 6: And he said, I think you're throwing off. It's a 501 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 6: pretty good sized chimney. He said, you're also evacuating here there, 502 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 6: and felt that well, because we're thing about taking out 503 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 6: the old insulation and putting in new, right, I don't think. 504 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: Well, I think what I would do. I mean, he 505 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: may be right. I'm not up there. I can't really 506 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,239 Speaker 1: see what's going on, but there are different places that 507 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: will really do it. It's ventilation, insulation and ceiling in 508 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: other words, ceiling like can lights and things. You just 509 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: got to find the weak points. Obviously, you've put a 510 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: den in it, so you've minimized the uh you know, 511 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: the ice dams themselves, but they're still there. I think 512 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: come springtime i'd probably think about, uh, the gutter cables 513 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: and let's get that corrected, because of course, if water 514 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: backs up and gets underneath those shingles, you can have 515 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: water damage in your home.

All right, let's see if you're on 557 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: the ball or not. You're ready, quick quiz? Do you 558 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 1: know where your snowshovel is? You know? I used to 559 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: ask that in hardware stores when it was, you know, 560 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: forecasted the snow. I said, do you know where your 561 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 1: snow shovel is? And it was amazing how many peoples 562 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: and when there was a storm coming you would ask. 563 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: I think, no, I really don't. Probably in the attic. 564 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: I guess what kind of shapes it in? I don't know. 565 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: So I asked you, do you know where your snowshovel is? 566 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: I hope you do. And you know, one of the 567 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: things you might consider is if it's bent or anything, 568 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 1: because snow shovels. I guarantee you come Monday, though most 569 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: of the stores will be out of snow shovels, spray 570 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: a little teflon or silicone on it. You'd be glad 571 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: you did. And if you have a snow blower, m hm, 572 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: did you check to make sure it's running? You already 573 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,720 Speaker 1: do that. I did it yesterday afternoon. 574 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 3: I was about to ask if Gary, sorry I did. 575 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 1: I did because I want to be prepared. Fresh gas 576 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:49,839 Speaker 1: in there too, and I got more tips. But it 577 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: just makes sure you know where the shovel is. Make 578 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: sure you got some ice melter. We can talk about 579 00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: that later. And get that snowblower. If you've got one, 580 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: make sure it's running. You may not have used it 581 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: for a couple of years. They don't always just start 582 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: right up. All right. Now, let's go to Jim. Jim, welcome. 583 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 4: I heard you talk about ice melt. But one of 584 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 4: the things that you might go want up and bring 585 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 4: up is not using rock salt on concrete. 586 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, talk about it a lot. I'll tell you another thing, Jim, 587 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 1: is probably single digits out there, or the very low teens, 588 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 1: and rock salt is useless at that point. Once you 589 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: get into the teens or below twenty actually it's probably 590 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: more like below twenty five that rock salt isn't gonna melt. 591 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 1: Ice ain't gonna melt snow. You can get the combination 592 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 1: and an ice melt and rock salt. But as you know, 593 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: and that's the purpose of your call is rock salt 594 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: is corrosive to concrete. 595 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 4: And giving us subdivision of three hundred homes and I 596 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 4: can walk through there and pick out which ones that 597 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 4: put rock. 598 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:10,359 Speaker 1: So oh yeah, yeah, over and you're familiar with the 599 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: Blue Ash area when they built that really nice area 600 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: and they put a boulevard down and they got all 601 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: new sidewalks and and concrete. I was out there about 602 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: a year and a half after it was built, and 603 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: I was forget who I was with it had it 604 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,359 Speaker 1: was something somebody that sold concrete seilers. And he goes, 605 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: look at this, look at this, look at this, and 606 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: it was from the rock salt on the truck that 607 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:41,879 Speaker 1: had sprinkled the boulevard, splashed it onto the uh sidewalks, 608 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,359 Speaker 1: and it was all it was all spawling. It was 609 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: it was. It had done some damage to the concrete already. 610 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 4: So you're right away from it. 611 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 1: And thanks for the reminder, Jim, appreciate it. All. Right, 612 00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,240 Speaker 1: Let's go to Rob. Rob welcome. 613 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Gary. You like your show, Thank you 614 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 4: very much for doing it. We have a cedar house 615 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 4: that were considering siding. We've painted it many times and 616 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 4: the tannins keep coming through and UH done everything properly 617 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 4: and had pain companies out and they say, it's my house. 618 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 4: What type of sighting would you recommend? And do we 619 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 4: need to take the existing cedar wood off under there? 620 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: And there's a couple of depends depends on the sighting 621 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 1: you choose. It depends on you know what's underneath there. 622 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 1: It depends you know when I said choose, For instance, 623 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: if you were going to go with a good, high 624 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: quality vinyl sighting and there's some out there, I wouldn't 625 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: put anything cheap on it because it'll look cheap. Now 626 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: you put a almost like it's a it's a wrap, 627 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: which will help that siding lay smooth. You wouldn't have 628 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 1: to take that off. 629 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,720 Speaker 4: If you Is that part of the moisture barrier? 630 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: Gary, Yeah, yeah, it can be see that's another thing. 631 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: You know, is there insulation in there, et cetera. Is 632 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 1: there another moisture barrier? And you don't want to have 633 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: double moisture barriers, so you really got you gotta know 634 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 1: what's underneath there. But there is different wraps that are 635 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: it's not what is more like a styrene foam comes 636 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 1: and it's really purpose is it's a little tiny bit 637 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: of insulation, but it's real purpose is to allow it 638 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,320 Speaker 1: to lay smooth over like a ceedar lap or something 639 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: along those lines. And it also depends on what kind 640 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: of shape that seeds in. So you know, I can't 641 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: really give you a flat answer, but a quick answer 642 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: would be, if you're going with vinyl saying, you can 643 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: probably keep if it's relatively smooth, you'll probably keep it 644 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: all right there. But if you're going to like a 645 00:40:53,719 --> 00:41:01,320 Speaker 1: hardyboard sighting and you're gonna hang like a horizontal board, 646 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 1: you're probably gonna remove it. But again it does depend. 647 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: So I think the first thing I would do, to 648 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: be honest with you, are you going to do it 649 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: yourself or you going to have somebody do it? 650 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 4: I would have somebody do it there. 651 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would start to search with what I want 652 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: my house to look like, all right, So I wouldn't 653 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,320 Speaker 1: let that influence it because it's a one time deal. 654 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: So if I was not going to do it with 655 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: a vinyl sighting and you were looking for, you know, 656 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,879 Speaker 1: a natural material. The two I would recommend would be 657 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 1: hearty board, which is a cement board sighting, and and 658 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: there's also one called I was gonna say smart strip. 659 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: I think it's called smart siding. It's by LP Siding, 660 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: and both of those have twenty five year finished warranties. 661 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 1: Both of those are very natural looking. The one the 662 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 1: LP Smart side, that's the name of it. It is 663 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 1: extremely durable from a standpoint of like if a lawnmower 664 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 1: shot a rock into it, it wouldn't it wouldn't damage 665 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 1: that sighting. That's how how tough with that. 666 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,720 Speaker 4: Boards would be considerably more expensive than vinyl. 667 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: Yes, your your least expensive would be the vinyl. So 668 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: when you're looking for vinyl, there there's a couple of 669 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: things you can do. I mean, there's a lot cheap 670 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: vinyl out there, but you want to make sure it's 671 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 1: a virgin vinyl sighting.
