1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: Well, it's the best time of day and I get 2 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: to say good afternoon. Welcome to our number four and 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: you're at home with Gary Sullivan taking you through another weekend. 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: Don't forget. We will be back tomorrow morning from nine 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: to noon to help you with those home improvement projects. 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 1: So feel free to join us. I'd appreciate it. All right, 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: let's get right back to the phones. And ah, I 8 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: see Judy here, and I know what she's going to suggest, 9 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: and I'm going to kind of agree with her. Judy, welcome, 10 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: hi there. 11 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: This is a footnote on the brake fluid. Years ago 12 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: my dad's side job. He worked on cars. This is 13 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: when they were metals under the hood, engine mark, paint 14 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: and everything. He always always used break fluid to listen 15 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 2: any rusted bolts, nuts, anything like that that makes sense. 16 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: I don't think in his lifetime he ever used anything else. 17 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: So it was a solvent for that. And I don't 18 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 2: have a reason to try what the guy suggested that work. 19 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I keep thinking, is there anywhere I can 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: put this to the test? 21 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: Well, I did the same thing, Judy. I did the 22 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: same thing when he was talking about removing calocking with 23 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: brake fluid because I had given somebody a couple suggestions 24 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: and he called and said, well, just use brake fluid 25 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: on it. I've never been stumped by it. It's worked, 26 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: It's worked. And I did challenge him. I said, well, 27 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: describe what removing means to you. He kind of said 28 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: the same thing that the other calcking products do. It 29 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: doesn't really remove it, but it softens it, and it 30 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: makes removable fairly easy. 31 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: You know what, Gary, I just thought of the place 32 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: I will check not in their future. I had someone 33 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: here doing some work a few years ago. He recocked 34 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: the inside of some of my replacement windows. It was 35 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: the sorriest job I ever saw, some of it. You know. 36 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 2: When I got to it, when it was real fresh 37 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: soap on my finger, I smoothed it out. But I 38 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,559 Speaker 2: have taken some of that out. That will be one 39 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: place at some point I will test it with. 40 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. Now we were talking about clocking around a tub, 41 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: but that is a siliconized acrylic clocking also pretty much 42 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: the same stuff they use on windows, unless they used 43 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: straight silicon, which might be a little different. 44 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: Well, this one I have the information for it. I 45 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: don't remember what it is, but it is made specifically 46 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: for that job. 47 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,399 Speaker 1: Okay, all right. 48 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: So i'd have to see. But you know, I often think, 49 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 2: what have I got to lose? 50 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: Right right? Well, no, I wasn't going to use it 51 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: on my tub, but if you want to try it 52 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 1: on that window, because it's kind of messy. 53 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 2: That'd be great because I'll have to do something with 54 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: it at some point. 55 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: So, now this is what I thought you were going 56 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: to say, because that's not what I thought you were 57 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: going to say. You mentioned hand cleaners a lot. 58 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: Yes I have, Yes, I have. 59 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: Did you hear the last caller? 60 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's usually my go to my first product. 61 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: So one of the interesting things he had. The driveway 62 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: application these people made with asphalt doesn't sound like it's 63 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: properly done, but I can't see it, so I can't 64 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: see it. But basically they put a a coal tar 65 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: celant where the scene between the asphalt and the concrete 66 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: is or on top of it. It sounds like they 67 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: didn't really need to do that, but they did. And 68 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: normally they would run the of the asphalt up to 69 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: the concrete. There'd be a natural seam and they would 70 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: put that cold tar in there. Well, they put it 71 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: up and the door closed, and when he retracts it, 72 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: it sometimes sticked just to that cold tar when it's 73 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: sunny and hot, because it begins the liquefy. And the 74 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: people said, well, throw some sand on top of it, 75 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: and that should stop it. And it helped, it didn't 76 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: really stop it. I talked about adjusting the door, talked 77 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: about a couple other things. When I saw your name, 78 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: I said, you tell me to take hand cleaner, wipe 79 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: it all over that seal and it won't stick to 80 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: the coltar. 81 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: And you know what, Gary, That's exactly what I would do. 82 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: It might work, It might work. 83 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 2: You have talked about it in the past, and it 84 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: has been a solvent for so many things, oil and 85 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 2: concrete and yeah, yeah, well. 86 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: When I saw it, I. 87 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: Thought him all the time. 88 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: Very good. All right, Well you have a great weekend. 89 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 2: You too, can buy all right? 90 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: I will thanks, stick care all right.

Where are they're coming from? Do you know? 97 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 3: That's the idea? That's a problem. I don't know the 98 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 3: source they're in mostly in the kitchen. All right, I 99 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: don't have any fruit exposed on you know. 100 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: Got a garbage disposal no, okay, so you got one 101 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: ball sink or a two bowl sink. 102 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 3: Two? 103 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: All right, here's what I want you to do. In 104 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: the beginning, it's kind of observed there's they're probably coming 105 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: up for the drains. They're probably yeah, they're probably living 106 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: on the bacteria inside the drain. If you got any 107 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: masking tape, you can just tape up those drains, don't 108 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: use them for a few hours or maybe as long 109 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: as you can just just run masking tape over the 110 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: top of them, and you know, like if you can 111 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: go six hours, you can go to day whatever. You 112 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: can eventually pull that tape back and see if you've 113 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: got any fruit flies. I guess as you will have 114 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: caught quite a few, because I feel strongly at where 115 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: they're going. 116 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 3: So how can I never see them, you know, fly 117 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 3: up from there? 118 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, but that's usually where they're coming from. 119 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: That un Yeah, that's usually where they're feeding. Maybe they're 120 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: out getting their exercise. I don't know. 121 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 3: So covered them. I covered the drains with a bowl 122 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 3: or something I covered a just to try what you're saying, 123 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: to use masking tape. But that didn't work, okay, But 124 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 3: I'll try to mask tape. 125 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: If you want to try that, let's try it. If 126 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: you don't what I would do, and you may have 127 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: tried this too. Uh. They're attracted to the color red, 128 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: as in apple, as in fruit fly. There is a 129 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: trap that looks like a red apple, which you put 130 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: this little stuff in there and they go in there 131 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: and they don't come out of the apple. Or you 132 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: can make you can kind of make your own solution. 133 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: You can use a cider vinegar, a little bit of water, 134 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: just a splash, a little bit drop of don soap, 135 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: and a drop of red food coloring and put it 136 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: in a little petri dish or saucer or a real 137 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: shallow bowl and set it on your counter and they 138 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: will smell the vinegar, they will be attracted to the 139 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: color red. They will take a dive into your mixture 140 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: and that'll be end of mister fruitfly. But there's probably 141 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: a lot of fruitflies. 142 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 3: But you will tell you something that ye are attracted. 143 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 3: They love beer. Who's never listening. I have a bowl 144 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 3: of beer dawn and water and I catch a whole 145 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 3: bunch of them that way, but they I just keep 146 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 3: replacing that there. 147 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: It's exactly my point. And if they're living on that 148 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: bacteria in that drain, I'll go back. 149 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 3: Is there something that could pour down the drain? 150 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: That's where I was going to go. But I wasn't 151 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: going to make you go buy that until we found 152 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: out that there was really something in it. There's a 153 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: product called Drainbow, and Drainbow is am. It's like an enzyme. 154 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: It's actually a basilic I think it's called basilic. It's 155 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: like a bacteria. It's a good bacteria that kills the 156 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: old bacteria. So you'll you'll put a stopper in the drain. 157 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: You'll put X y Z amount it'll be on the 158 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 1: on the bottle into the bowl. You'll turn on warm water. 159 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: You'll mix it up, and you'll let sit for about 160 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: ten minutes and you'll pull the plug. It'll go down 161 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: the drain.

Chris, welcome, 196 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: Thank you sir. 197 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 4: You bet I've got it. 198 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 5: I've got a deck pressure traded lumber. I built it 199 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 5: eight or nine years ago, and we built it in 200 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 5: August and everybody told me, wait till a spring to 201 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 5: seal it. Let it dry well, spring game and went 202 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 5: and eight or nine years later, it's never been sealed. 203 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 5: It's still in good shape, but it's it needs to be. 204 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 5: I'm assuming it needs to be pressure washed. And then Field, 205 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 5: being that old, is there anything special that I need 206 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 5: to do? 207 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: Well, let me just walk you through the process. And 208 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: you know it's interesting, Chris. When pressure tree wood came out, 209 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: you know what the story was is you never have 210 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: to do anything the pressure treated wood. Well, right, they're wrong. 211 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: They're wrong, because if you don't do anything to them, 212 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: it's probably not going to rot out unless it splits, 213 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: because that pressure treatment is only down a certain bit, 214 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: and if it splits and water gets into it, it's 215 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: getting to regular wood that is not pressure tread, so 216 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: it can maybe start to rot, or the sun bleaches 217 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: it out so much it dries out and it gets 218 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: cracks in it, it gets splinters, it turns gray. So 219 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: describe me what that deck looks right now. 220 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 5: Looks like it's it's gray, it's weathered, it's growing a 221 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 5: little bit of I don't know if it's moss. I 222 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 5: don't it's not mole in spots where it doesn't get 223 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 5: as much. So right it's there's I haven't really seen 224 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 5: any rotten spots. Okay, but it just it just looks. 225 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: It just looks right. 226 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 5: And I'm not when my wife walks out on the 227 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 5: back deck, I'm not her favorite person. 228 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: That's a great way of saying it. All right, Uh, 229 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: here's what I want you to do. There's good. There's 230 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: gonna be three steps. Okay, two of them are going 231 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 1: to be cleaning steps. One of them is going to 232 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: be the stain. And let's address what type of stain 233 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: you're gonna use first. Are you looking for something that's 234 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: semi transparent? In other words, you can see the wood 235 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: grain through it. That's what most decks are. Or do 236 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: you want it to look a little like it's painted. 237 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 5: No, no paint what you would I would rather have 238 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,479 Speaker 5: a natural. 239 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: Look, all right. So the first thing you're gonna need, 240 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: remember this is a deck cleaner. Okay, next thing you're 241 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: gonna need is a deck brightener. So let's work on that. 242 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: So a deck cleaner is usually I would prefer a 243 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: deck cleaner that's got an oxygenated bleach. It's usually a powder. 244 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: You mix it with water and you apply it to 245 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: the deck. Either splash it on, mop it on, spray 246 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: it on, whatever you do, get it onto the deck. 247 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: And when you get it on the deck, just just 248 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: let it sit for a while. Just let it sit 249 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: for ten minutes and then respray more of it on 250 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: there and then get like I don't want you to 251 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: get down on your hands and knees with a scrub 252 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: br but if you got a brown fibered stiff street 253 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: broom or something and just agitate that, scrub that in 254 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: and then with a hose rinse it off. If you 255 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: got a pressure washer, you can you can be careful 256 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: number one, but you can put that oxygen ad bleach 257 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: on lets sit about ten minutes and then come back 258 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: with you know, a pressure washer with a forty degree 259 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: nozzle under two thousand psi and just you know, blow 260 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: it off that way and that's gonna get rid of 261 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: the mold, to mild, of the fungus, whatever it is, 262 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna get rid of that. And then I want 263 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: you to come back with the deck brightener. And this 264 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: is really gonna be it's really gonna help with the appearance. 265 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: It's gonna take some of that gray out. I'm not 266 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: gonna tell you it's gonna look new, but it's gonna help. 267 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: And what deck brightener is is it's a it's an 268 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: oxolic acid, nothing to hurt it anything. And you're gonna 269 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: mix with water and you're gonna do the exact same thing. 270 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: You're gonna put the deck brightener on there. Follow the directions. 271 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: I forget how long they want you to have that sit, 272 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: but you let it sit on there and then you 273 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: rinse it off. You know, it's probably longer in the 274 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: ten minutes. And then so what we've done is we've 275 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: now cleaned it and we've brightened it. So then we're 276 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: gonna let that dry because stain doesn't work very good 277 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: when it's wet. Way, go ahead. 278 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 5: Do we need to do I need to let it 279 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 5: dry after the cleaner, before the brightener or can I No, you. 280 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: Can just choose them right after each other. Just for 281 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: the application of the stain. If you happen to buy 282 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: or choose a solvent based stain, wait forty eight hours 283 00:15:55,560 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: two days. If it's an acrylic stain, water based stain, 284 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: you can probably wait three to four hours. So and 285 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: then you know, get your stain of choice and just 286 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: follow their directions on application. Most of them, not all 287 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: of them, but most of them can be applied with 288 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: a tank sprayer and then either brushed back or rolled back. 289 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: It's it's not horribly time consuming. But and you don't 290 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: get forever on that. But I mean, you got eight 291 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: years out of nothing. So but tell recommend about every 292 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: two to three years in sunny locations. You'll you'll notice 293 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: where it's shady, it'll last longer. It'll wear out in 294 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: the sunny locations way before the you know, shaded locations. 295 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 5: All right, is there is there a sailor that's better? Well, 296 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 5: anything you would recommend? 297 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: Sure? Well, I mean, you know, it all depends I mean, yes, 298 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll recommend some, but if you know, the 299 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: cost is the pretty much the premium of you know, 300 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: what's going to last a little longer. In all honesty, 301 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: most deck sealers in a really sunny location will last 302 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: two years if you get the top of The one 303 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: that I'm most familiar with is called Defy. You can 304 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: look it up. It's Defy Woodstain dot com. It'll get 305 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: you an extra year. And that's one of the ones 306 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: you can't spray. They've got a deck applicator. It's almost 307 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: like a mop, and it's a two code system and 308 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: it's probably fifty bucks a gallon, I mean, whereas the 309 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: other ones might be twenty five thirty bucks a gallon. 310 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: Then you'll get an extra year, and it is a 311 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: water base, so you don't have to wait as long. 312 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: A solvent based one that I like, I like the 313 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: Sherman Williams make one makes one and it's actually an 314 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: alcat acrylic and it does it real good. They also 315 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: have a solvent one called super Deck. You know, it's 316 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, I'm talking averages. This two year, the def 317 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: is going to get you an extra year, and these 318 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: these can get you two or three years. Also, you know, 319 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: I think it's kind of a drawl. Okay, so but 320 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: there's some inexpensive ones. Don't fall for the trap though, 321 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: because they're going you're gonna get a. 322 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 5: Year at them right right now.

So I'm glad to get back and 358 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: was glad to get back last year. All right, let's 359 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: go to Anthony. Anthony, welcome. Hi. 360 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 4: I've got a question I need to clear along the 361 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 4: fence line, just overgrown grass and weeds and stuff like that. 362 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 4: And I've got a pawn about fifteen feet away from me. 363 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 4: That stretches out maybe thirty feet away from you know, 364 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 4: length of the fence, but the fence goes on beyond that. 365 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 4: It's like a cattle fence. But I need to spray something, 366 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 4: feel the weeds and grass? What would be safe enough 367 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 4: to do that with that on there? 368 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: Well, you know, the newer round up is taking out 369 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: the glossipate and they still have some for commercial use. 370 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: I believe, I don't hold me to that, but that's 371 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: where you know, you can go to you know, the 372 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: hardware store or the farming fleet and you can pick 373 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: up a weed and grass. You just want to stay 374 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:28,239 Speaker 1: away from anything, of course, and that's what you're asking about. 375 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to live in the water 376 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: supply or anything along nose lines. And how far you 377 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: say that pond is. 378 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 4: About fifteen feet away from it? 379 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: Okay? And so do it on a really still day 380 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: and a lot of times a night's a good time 381 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: when it gets real still and just you know, but 382 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: you want to stay away from the Is it it 383 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: is glossifate? I think triglossifate something like That's that's the 384 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: one that's caused the issues where we became more tuned 385 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: into it. But a lot of that's all taken out 386 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: except for commercial or commercial applications. So you get a 387 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, a home weed and grass killer, you should 388 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: absolutely be fine. 389 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 4: Okay, liquid or what do you do? 390 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: Liquid? Yeah? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Doing it with it, 391 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: you know, calm at night. I'm sure there's different other 392 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: things you could do that are solids. I believe I 393 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: shouldn't say it if I don't know, and I really 394 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: don't know. I was even thinking like a rock salt 395 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: or something along that line, but that can probably leach 396 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: into the soils. Also, I think i'd stay with a spray. 397 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: And again next week, Scott Berlin will be answering his 398 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: questions on home and gardens or gardening and sprays and 399 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: things like that. Feel free to check with him, Anthony 400 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: or even your local garden center and make sure you 401 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: get a safe spray. But I believe there's a lot 402 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: of safe ones out there, just termed weed and grass killers. 403 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 4: Now, okay, all right, all right, that's what I need 404 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 4: to know. 405 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: Thank you, very good, Thank you you Bet and Jeff. Welcome, Hey, Gary, 406 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: cool show. 407 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 6: Thanks thanks, Hey, So we have a toilet that we 408 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 6: have problems with. That just stinks. Basically, it smells a 409 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 6: lot sewer gas. And let me give you a little history, 410 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 6: is that back in twenty eighteen, we had the bathrooms 411 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 6: redone new tile put on and then over time it 412 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 6: kind of ruined the baseboards and the sheet rock with water. 413 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 6: So we had people come and they said that, you know, 414 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 6: water was getting under the tile because it wasn't the 415 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 6: toilet wasn't set perfectly. Never had any smell or anything. Then, 416 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 6: so we had all that fix and then actually got 417 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 6: a new toilet. They reset it. Well, all of a 418 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 6: sudden we started having the smell, and so I had 419 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 6: people come back out and they said that the plange 420 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 6: was low and the first guys, I think they just 421 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 6: said it with one flat train. The second guys came 422 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 6: and they added something, and then just recently had another 423 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 6: guy come and he had an extension. He said on 424 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 6: the flange, Well, it still has the smell, and we 425 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 6: actually had the septic taint pump. I was trying to 426 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 6: think of all different possibilities and so anyway, that's where 427 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 6: I'm at. So it still kind of has that sewer smell. 428 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: Well, as you were telling the story, of whoa I 429 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: was you know, yep, that's it, and then you'd tell yep, 430 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: that's it. When you first started, I go, what's a seal? 431 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: But then you told me the subfloor was you know, 432 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: kind of got wet, but that's been replaced. But certainly 433 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: if there's wooden there that had gotten wet and you know, 434 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: mold was growing, that kind of has that same smell, 435 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: but it sounds like that's all been cleaned up up. 436 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: So then you're back to the seal and you know 437 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: you told me, well, the second guy put in a 438 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: second seal and then a third seal. Well, it does 439 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: sound to me that the connection between the soil or 440 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: the toilet and the main waistline is there is no trap. 441 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 1: There's a trap in the toilet, but there's no trap 442 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: in your waistline. So when that toilet, yeah, yeah, So 443 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: when that toilet is set and it's sealed with the 444 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: wax seal, the toilet becomes the trap for the waistline. 445 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: So if there's water in the bowl of the toilet, 446 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: there should be no smell coming up from the toilet. 447 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: But if there is a smell in a room that smells, 448 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: that's telling me that's still not properly seated. Now, so 449 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: you got three seals on there, so there's certainly room 450 00:25:54,760 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: for air, right, What I would I just would really 451 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: concentrate back on removing that. Do you see any water 452 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: at all? If you put like Kleenex around the base 453 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: to see if you can find any water seepage at all. 454 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 7: It's been dry. That was the original problem, right, since 455 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 7: you know, more recently it's been I've been checking that 456 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 7: it's dry, and I was wondering, is it possible that 457 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 7: the toilet, since it's it's actually the trap, is it 458 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 7: possible that it's faulty? 459 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: And could you know? 460 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 7: I don't I didn't see any cracks, and I just 461 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 7: think it's ceramic. 462 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 6: Where would the where would the gas release? 463 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: Well? So that okay, so let me so. Yeah, So 464 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: in the toilet, the trap is actually right off the 465 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: bowl because then the the the trap is built into 466 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: the china right, and it goes up, it takes a 467 00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: one eighty and goes straight down into the waistline. So 468 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: the water that's blocking the gas is actually the water 469 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: in the bowlt Okay, So you know, could that be cracked? Yeah, 470 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: it could be. I doubt it. I mean everything's possible, 471 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: but I doubt that that would be it. Do you know, 472 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: did they just so there's so many different type of 473 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: toilet seals. Now, it started out a toilet sea was 474 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: a wax it was bees wax, and it was a 475 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: ring that's set on top of the flange. End of story, 476 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: it compresses. And then a number of years ago somebody said, hey, 477 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: we got to build a better one. They put a 478 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: wax ring bees wax, and they put a snout down 479 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: on the bottom of that where you could make sure 480 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: you got it centered into the pipe. And then they 481 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: got one that had a little longer snout, got a 482 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: little bit of an extender on there, and then about 483 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: eight years ago they came up with one called the 484 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: perfect seal, and it is a perfect seal. It's got 485 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: a snout, it's adjustable in height, and the wax is 486 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: actually contained with a rubber membrane in between the pieces 487 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: of plastic. And it may replacing the toilet seal pretty 488 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: easy for much easier if they haven't used that perfect seal. 489 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: I'd get somebody out there and get all that stuff 490 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: off that's there and get one of those perfect seals 491 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: and get that on there. You can just you can 492 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: adjust it fairly easily, and maybe it's not level, maybe 493 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: that one side's higher than the other. There's something going 494 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: on and it's got to be around that seal. 495 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,479 Speaker 7: Yeah, so it's back to the bland being too lowered, 496 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 7: cock eye or. 497 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: Something, right, right, Okay, yeah, all right. 498 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 7: Well I don't know if they used the Perfect seal 499 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 7: or not, but I've had several. But I know I 500 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 7: didn't stay in there and watch them because you know, 501 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 7: it's not that big of a bathroom, right, couldn't couldn't 502 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 7: couldn't see them. So they Okay. 503 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, even if you go up to the hardware store 504 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: and just look, I know fluid Master makes one now, 505 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: Denko made the first one was called Perfect Seal, and 506 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: fluid Master's got one now, and I'm sure it's pretty 507 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: much built the same way. But take a look at 508 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: take a look at those and just see, and I 509 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: think you'll see the advantage of using that. I'm I 510 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: really am guessing that there's some variable in there that 511 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: does wax rings just aren't covering it. I mean, you've 512 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: done three seals on there, so there's definitely definitely an issue. 513 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, I just I was wondering if that's the only 514 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 7: place that it seems like that's the only place unless 515 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 7: the bowls cracked or something. 516 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, in a toilet. I can't think of another 517 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: place that would be a problem. Now, if you had 518 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: a dry drain in a shower, I might as well 519 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: cover this too, because and I know you don't have 520 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: a d well. Let's assume we don't have a dry 521 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: drain in the bathtub or the shower. Both okay, but 522 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: another placed to look. And people have confused this too. 523 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot of bacteria around our vanity bowl in 524 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: the in the bathroom. So I've said many times, we 525 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: shave with a gel, we use hairspray with gels, we 526 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: have deodorants with gels, toothpaste with gels, and then we 527 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: have bacteria with flakes of skin and whiskers and everything else. 528 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: And all that's going down that little inch and a 529 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: quarter drain, and some of it starts coating the inside 530 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: of those traps and pipes and bacterias smells like sewer 531 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: gas and it kind of weeps up through you know 532 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: where the little overflow hole is on a bathroom vanity sink. 533 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: Get your nose down there. See if you smell it there. 534 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: I still think it's a toilet, but it could be 535 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: that that's the only other thing that would produce that 536 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: odor inside a bathroom as far as I'm concerned. 537 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 7: Well, I we'll check that out. Thank you out, I'll 538 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 7: check out the city, all right, Thank you, Gary. 539 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: You bet Jeff, Thanks take care my mind. All right, Well, 540 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: let me take a little break and kind of wrap 541 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: up the weekend, or not the weekend. The day of 542 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: the weekend, we're back at it. To go on, Gary, 543 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: get it right, I promise I'm going to be here tomorrow. 544 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: So's Danny. All right, let's take that break. You're at 545 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: home with Gary Silvin right here on fifty five. Care 546 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: see the talk station. All right, back at it, we 547 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: go at home with Gary Salmon. I'm gonna harp a 548 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: little bit here, just for the few minutes we have left. 549 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: And that is over the last almost eight weeks, we 550 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: had some pretty strong winter weather. We had a nice 551 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: week last week. But I used the phrase multiple times, 552 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: your house is telling you something. Pay attention to your 553 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: house during this temperatures, during the snow. What is your 554 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: house telling you? We talked about ice dams, we talked 555 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: about snow melt, we talked about drafts, we talked about humidity. 556 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: So I ask you again, during the last eight weeks, 557 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: what was your house telling you? And if it, if 558 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: you go nothing, there's a good chance you just weren't 559 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: looking okay because your house was telling you something. Drust me. 560 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: So if it did tell you that, just the snow 561 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: on my roof melted faster and everybody else is telling 562 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: you he probably needs some insulation or ventilation. And I 563 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: got a lot, a lot of emails and a lot 564 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: a lot of questions over that eight week, So make 565 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: sure you act on that. It's so important, and especially 566 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: with a price of energy now, it's important. Maybe it 567 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: was I don't know what else can it be all 568 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: kinds of things, right, Maybe if your basement started weeping 569 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: water by the wall and the floor, we had that 570 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: call today, Maybe that house is still telling you something. 571 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: We had a big snow melt, maybe water started getting 572 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: into your house. Maybe you found the drip on the ceiling, 573 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: But it was telling you there was a problem. And 574 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: those problems go away real fast, right, And when the 575 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: water's out of the picture, there's no problem. You ever 576 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: hear a person call and say, man, it's dry, and 577 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: I'm having a real bad problem with my leaky basement. No, 578 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: I love it when you go like my basements. It's 579 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: got a problem, it's got a crack, and I got 580 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,280 Speaker 1: water in my basement. It only does it when it rains. Yep, 581 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: that's usually the case. But it's telling you something then, 582 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: So if it's insulation and ventilation, I really encourage you 583 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: to I wouldn't wait because the further we get away 584 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 1: from that time, the more you just put it off. 585 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: You find other places that your money's needed. And if 586 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: it was a problem, let's let's get that going. If 587 00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 1: it's a leaky basement, maybe we can. We are trying 588 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: some things, I always say, gutters, grating, ground water. We're 589 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: gonna have spring rains. Maybe we start seeing ponding around 590 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:15,959 Speaker 1: our foundation. You're gonna have a problem. Fill that up. 591 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: Get some top soil in there. Maybe the grating is flat. 592 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: May it's tilled towards your house. Get some grating, or 593 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: get underlying underground pipelines pulling that water away. Maybe the 594 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: gutters are overflowing, get them cleaned out. So there's obviously 595 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: always things to do. There's always things to do. Maybe 596 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: the doors started sticking last summer, but now they're working great. 597 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: You didn't listen and the stick again this summer, So 598 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: make note of that. Paint doesn't just peel off woodwork. 599 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: For the heck of it. On the outside of the home, 600 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,439 Speaker 1: the bottom of the door jam is peeling. It's telling 601 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: you water is a problem. So if you get a 602 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: good day, spend really a half hour and walk around 603 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,760 Speaker 1: that house and see what doesn't look right. And after 604 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: you do that, next Saturday, you can come down to 605 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: the Home and Garden Show because I'm going to be 606 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: there in the ever Dry booth and I can answer 607 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: those questions for you, or at the very least, I 608 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 1: can talk to you about them, maybe give you some ideas, 609 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,399 Speaker 1: and you can go back and do a little bit 610 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 1: more homework. But we will be broadcasting from the ever 611 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,919 Speaker 1: Dry booth at the Sininni Home and Garden Show. We'll 612 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: be there from nine am till one pm, and we'll 613 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: be taking calls like we always do during the eleven 614 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: o'clock and twelve o'clock hour. Quite honestly, we'll have some 615 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: participants at the show and I love to do that. 616 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy that because there's always services and 617 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:03,439 Speaker 1: techniques that are really the top shelf or maybe unique 618 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: where we can sit down with I don't want to 619 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 1: say McKay blumber and talk about the different types of 620 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: pressure treated would that they have. So it's not just 621 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: talking about one type of pressure tree wood. It's talking 622 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 1: about six different types. And why are there six different types? 623 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:30,400 Speaker 1: Because why because there's always different pros and different cons 624 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: with different types of wood, as there is with pressure 625 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: treated wood. So you know, we'll get the we'll have 626 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: the ability to do that. I'm sure we'll talk to 627 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: somebody about fireplaces too, and all kinds of things. Maybe 628 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: even a stamp concrete or exposed to aggregate concrete. Maybe 629 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: that's on your list of getting a few things done 630 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 1: like that over the next year. And if you are 631 00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: in a position and you are thinking about making and 632 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: improvement in your home, maybe it's a new entry door, 633 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: maybe it's a new kitchen, it's an opportunity to go 634 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 1: down there and talk to people. See if you're comfortable 635 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: with it. See if you're comfortable with uh, you know 636 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 1: where the pricing is for new windows and are they 637 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: the windows? You'll learn how what what makes a good window? 638 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 1: We talk about it. You know, what's the difference between 639 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: fiberglass and vinyl? Is there good vinyl and bad vinyl? 640 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,879 Speaker 1: Is there good fiberglass and bad fiberglass? So you get 641 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: an opportunity to just kind of feel things out. And 642 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: a lot of times quality is dictated by you know, price, 643 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: Not all the time, but a lot of times it is. 644 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: Find out what those differences are. Dig deeper, all right. 645 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 1: So that's that's next week's thing, and we will be 646 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 1: back tomorrow so I can tell you about it all 647 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: over again, and I hope you join us.
