1 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: Well, the weekend's upon us. Welcome. You're at home with 2 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: Gary Sullivan talking a lot about a lot. By the way, 3 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: this hour is brought to you by Zollar pumps. They 4 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: are the gold star of some pumps and battery backups 5 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: and another thing to think about. I know, if you 6 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: own a house, you're always listening to me and I'm 7 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 1: telling you what to do and what to think about. 8 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: But if you have a some pump in your house, 9 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: I sure hope you have got some sort of backup 10 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: for it. And I'm saying some sort of whether it's 11 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: a venture water backup pump or a battery backup pump. 12 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: So surely hope you know they don't last forever. The 13 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: question remains, this is a good question. Do you want 14 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: to be proactive or you don't want to wait for 15 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: it to fail? Nobody wants it to fail. Life of pump. 16 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 1: You get different answers, But seven to twelve years, okay. 17 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: I don't know when it's gonna fail. It probably depends 18 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: on how much it choosed, and you can't really test. 19 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: It's just gonna fail. Usually what fails on a some 20 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: pump is the switch. And if you have a battery 21 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: backup that's good. It's going to kind of save the day. 22 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: At least we hope it's going to be pumping that 23 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: water out and you know, save the day. Right, But 24 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: if you want to be proactive, and that thing's eight nine, 25 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,639 Speaker 1: ten years old, take a look at a Zalar pump. 26 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: They've got some great feature and not a commercial. I'm 27 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: just telling you this is a good thing to be 28 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 1: thinking about, especially if you're sitting there with an old 29 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: sump pump in that Well, all right, let's get back 30 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: to the phone calls, and if you'd like to join us, 31 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: we've got a couple of spots, and well, we got 32 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: several spots for you. It's eight hundred eight two three 33 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: A two five five. Go ahead and grab a line 34 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: and Julie welcome. 35 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: Hello. 36 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 3: Yes, really, Julie, I'm how I'm very much related to her. 37 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 2: So. 38 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: That's wonderful. All right. 39 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 3: Hell, our problem is we moved into a ten year 40 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: old condo which has two units and it's two floors. 41 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 3: When we moved in, there were two ceramic tiles that 42 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 3: were cracked, and we accepted that and that was fine, 43 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 3: but then we started having door problems on both floors. 44 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 3: Over time, the doors would no longer fit, and so 45 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 3: I would shave them and allow them to fit. Followed 46 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 3: by I had to readjust the latch and drill out 47 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: the latch and replace it last night, hearing noises overnight, 48 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 3: I come out and see there's a large crack on 49 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: the second floor in the doorway going up from the 50 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 3: corner of the door up and now the door will 51 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 3: no longer close. And that is the door that I 52 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 3: have already shaved. So what we're looking forward. We know 53 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: we got a problem and I'm not able to solve it, 54 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 3: but we're looking for what type of profession do I 55 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 3: involved to get some resolution to this? 56 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: So let me ask you a couple of questions. How 57 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: old is this building do you think? Or do you know? Sorry? 58 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 3: Two thousand ten So it's a little. 59 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: Overtain relatively new, Okay. Is there the topography around it 60 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: or the landscaping around it? Is it hilly? Is there 61 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: something that would say, oh, I bet that hill's the problem? 62 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: Anything along Newslanes. 63 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 3: It's a pretty flat It is a flat area. But 64 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: our house is at the top of a mound in 65 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: a series of bounds that decrease in size. So yeah, 66 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: what probably the highest place in this area right now, 67 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 3: but not. 68 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah right, so obviously you know we both 69 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: know it's it's a problem. Problems can be solved. I 70 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: would say there's some fairly significant shifting or settling, but 71 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: I don't know that either. You asked me who you 72 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: would yet. There's a couple of ways to fix that, 73 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: even before you really get into it, and one of 74 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: them is it's it. They literally can drive a post 75 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: into the ground with a jack in jack up the 76 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: footing so it would stabilize it. It's called peering, and 77 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: that would probably be a solution. There's you know, there's 78 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: companies that do that. But this is what I would do. 79 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: I would get a structural engineer to come to the 80 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: property and it's not as hateful as it sounds, and 81 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: they can give you an honest answer of what's going 82 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: on and what it's going to take. And then what 83 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: you will have, and this is really important. I think 84 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: what you'll have is you'll have basically specs for the repair. Okay, 85 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: so when you call XYZ company, they probably have somebody 86 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: on staff that's a structural engineer that's going to make 87 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: this assessment and they're going to tell you how they're 88 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: going to fix it, which may be perfect. But if 89 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: you take an outside structural engineer, he's not going to 90 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: fix it. He's just going to tell you how it 91 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: needs to be fixed. And it might cost you an 92 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: additional five hundred bucks to one thousand bucks to get 93 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: that expertise. So that's a your call, but that's who's 94 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: going to That's how you're going to determine on you know, 95 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: weightloads and a lot of times, you know, where is 96 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: the bedrock below that house, because that's what they got 97 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: to get to to stabilize it, to run that pipe 98 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: down into the bedrock to stabilize it, and then the 99 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: connection to the bottom of the foundations abilize it. Actually, 100 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: my son had this done probably fifteen years ago, ten 101 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: years ago to a house he bought at the bottom 102 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: of the hillside and I told him that you're going 103 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: to end up as from the pier this and he 104 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: did and uh but it worked. I mean, it worked 105 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: and he loved the house, so that's all good. So 106 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: that's where i'd start. 107 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 3: Are you recommending a company that builds things that might 108 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 3: have a structural engineer or don't contact it. I won't 109 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: say don't contact but a structural engineer only. 110 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, just the structural engineer. So I think here's your choices. 111 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: You get on Google who does peering on a house? 112 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: And you know you'll get all kinds of answers, and 113 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: you can call them. You can ask them the question. 114 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: Who's going to make the decision on how this is 115 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: going to be done? Oh, we have how we have 116 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: a structural engineer and that's fine. He'll come out, he'll 117 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: tell you how he's gonna you know, the issue, and 118 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: that company that hires him is then going to send 119 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, their crew out and they're gonna fix it. 120 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm suggesting kind of go outside of that box. Get 121 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: a structural engineer outside of the company that's going to 122 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: repair it. So you get a he doesn't have a 123 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: dog in a fight. He's just assessing the problem. He's 124 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: gonna tell you how they should fix it. And then 125 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: you become a lot smarter client and then you can 126 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: kind of shop for that, you know what you want 127 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: to do from there with other people that do peering 128 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: for a house. 129 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: Okay, sounds good?

And we're gonna get right back to the 177 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: phone lines, and we got Nathan Nathan welcome, Hi. 178 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 3: Thanks for taking my call. I think it's very similar 179 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 3: to what the other previous caller just had. But yeah, 180 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 3: noticing when I'm in my master bedroom, I'm hearing a 181 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 3: lot of creeks in the walls, and as I look 182 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 3: around in the house, it seems like the shoe molding 183 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 3: and the crown molding around the house is starting to 184 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 3: separate from the ceiling, so there's cracks and stuff. So 185 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 3: I'm just wondering it's probably a foundation issue as well. 186 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: Right, maybe it's a little bit different. So with his 187 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: you'll you know, so here's what I think on yours. 188 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: It could be a foundation issue. You got any trouble 189 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: with doors or windows or anything along those lines. 190 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, my door seem to like actually be swaying and 191 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 3: staying open a little bit more than they used to. 192 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: Okay, so it could be all right, it could be. 193 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: But let me give you my other thought. Okay, there's 194 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: a lot of weird noises that happen in homes when 195 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: we get into areas where there's severe temperature, be it 196 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: high or low. When temperatures are low, we get wood 197 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: that is exposed to the elements, like the trusses up 198 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: in the attic, and then the base of the attic 199 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: has got all this nice warm insulation on it, so 200 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: you got really cold wood fighting wormwood, and you start 201 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: hearing pops and cracks. It's called truss lift. It can 202 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: literally lift. It can literally lift the ceiling and have 203 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: crown molding have a gap where you can almost slide 204 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: your fingers in. It could be that severe. They have 205 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: tie down straps for trusses for that situation. So it 206 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: could be that doors that don't close in shoe moldings 207 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: that's pulling away. I don't know what kind of humidity 208 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: you're running in your house, but chances are everybody lists 209 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: right now is running a pretty low humidity in their 210 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: home because they have to. Otherwise the windows would be sweating. 211 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: So even if you have a humidifier on a humid astat, 212 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: you would very possibly be running humidity levels anywhere between 213 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: twenty five and twenty percent or even lower, which will 214 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: cause wood to dry out and begin to separate. Because 215 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: if you look at crown molding or even your shoe 216 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: molding and you got any minor cuts like in a corner, 217 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: sometimes they'll start being separations of there. And that's no load, 218 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: that's just decorative molding. That's just drying out and separating, shrinking, 219 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: and then in the summertime, all of a sudden it closes up. 220 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: So that's I just throw. 221 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 3: That low humidity in Florida, so it's it's really hard. 222 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 3: I have a dehumidifier that runs during the summertime. It's 223 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 3: pretty much running constant. So I'd say probably the humidity 224 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 3: level in my house is is running on average between. 225 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: Okay, and then that wouldn't be the issue. Then that 226 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't be the issue. For areas that you've been hearing 227 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: me talk about a lot about cold weather and stuff, 228 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: that would be an issue. So if you so it, 229 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: it very well could be that same type of you know, 230 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: need stabilization. So again the advice would be the same. 231 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: How to know even if it were somebody that was 232 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: in cold weather climate. Same you get a structural engineer 233 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: out there so that he can assess it is it 234 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: a stucco house or what type of house is it? 235 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 3: Nathan, No, it's brick exterre And I called h. I 236 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 3: don't know if I'm allowed to say the name of 237 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 3: the company, but it's one of the foundations and companies 238 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 3: that works nationwide, okay, AFS. I'm not sure if they're 239 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 3: a good company to come out and or or if 240 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 3: that's just basically a company that's going to try and 241 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 3: get my business. 242 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: Well, maybe that's why I had mentioned to the other guy. 243 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: I always kind of prefer the thoughts of having a 244 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: structural engineer to come out and take a look at it, 245 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: because he's got no dog in a fight. He's simply 246 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: doing the diagnostics and telling you what in the world's 247 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: going on here, because there's always other things, right, and 248 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: there's other things. You call that company. I don't know, 249 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: if they have a structural engineer on site, you can 250 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: you can call them if you want. The nice thing 251 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: about going outside the realm of you know, as you 252 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: get a diagnosis from a structural engineer, and then you 253 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: can go to different companies that actually do the work 254 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: and you can kind of negotiate, right. I mean, this 255 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: is the way. You don't have to even tell them. 256 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: This is the way. The structural engineer said, let's see 257 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: what they got. I have to say, let's see if 258 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: it jibs. I would certainly take the structural engineer's advice, 259 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: being that he's got nothing else to gain. He gave 260 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: you his opinion, he did the you know, the specs, 261 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: and you paid him and he's done. You know, you 262 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: get a salesperson, or maybe you do get a structural engineer. 263 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: I don't know, nor do you, and he tells you 264 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: what's going on. Well maybe maybe not. I don't know. 265 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: If they've been around in business for a long time, 266 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: they're probably going to give you good advice, but we 267 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 1: don't know for sure. So I always prefer to go 268 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: to the structural engineer route. I'd look for cracks in 269 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: the brick stare straight, you know, are they stare stepping? 270 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: Are they straight? Vertical? Are they horizontal? The total vertical 271 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: cracks on a brick house, you should be seeing that. 272 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: If it's a foundation issue, you may see some stare stepping. 273 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: I'd be more concerned with a straight vertical crack, less 274 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: concerned with a horle horizontal crack. In between would be 275 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: a stair stepping crack. So you know, there's gonna be 276 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: some signs that are gonna give you the answer of 277 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: what it is, and then you can take it to 278 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: the people that do the repair and you know, find 279 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: out how long is it gonna take and what's it 280 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: going to cost, and go from there. 281 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I did notice one. We've got Traverston Tyland. 282 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 3: It looks like the previous owners before we bought the house, 283 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 3: actually filled it with some of epoxy, and it looks 284 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 3: like that epoxy is now separating. So I'm just that 285 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 3: would be another concern of mine is that it's just 286 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 3: maybe that one section of the house is starting to settle. 287 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 5: Well, I think we have an underground. 288 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 3: Spring that runs right through our backyard. 289 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: Sure, sure, sure, And then you know, again I was 290 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: talking about peering that might be an option. There's also 291 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: other ways to fix that, That's what I'm saying, And 292 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 1: it does sound like it's settling. I got winter on 293 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: my mind, and that's why I was going the other directions. 294 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, good luck with that, Nathan. But I think 295 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: you're on the right course. You know you got to 296 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: get a professional opinion. Thank you much.

Pat welcome. 345 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 6: Hi. 346 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 2: Yes, I've been looking to put us a home, and 347 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 2: h I'm one of those guys that gott have a basement, 348 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 2: and I'm running into a lot of homes that have 349 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 2: the tile and or linoleum in the basements, and that 350 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 2: concerns me about all the things I've seen the negative 351 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 2: things online and reviews about mold where you can't detect 352 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 2: it if it's under the tile and linoleum, and I'm 353 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 2: just wondering, i mean, really just completely a bad idea 354 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 2: to do that of covering on your basement floor pretty 355 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 2: much or not? 356 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. You got all kinds of 357 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: options too, I mean, and even in those in those 358 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: words of options, there's also categories. For instance, I guess 359 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: one of the more popular ones for a basement would 360 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,719 Speaker 1: be uh LVP and LVT, which means luxury vinyl plank 361 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: and luxury vinyl tile. Luxurial vinyl plank are strips. They're there, 362 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:41,239 Speaker 1: they glued to each other. The the vinyl plank and 363 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: then the LVT is square. It's more of a floating floor. 364 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: You can get it water resistant, you can get it 365 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: water proof. In a basement, you definitely want to get 366 00:23:53,680 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: water proof. It's gonna be easy to install. If you've 367 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: got a house where you got old nine inch asbestos tile, 368 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: you don't have to remove it. This would encapsulate it. 369 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: So that's a big benefit also, And it can look 370 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 1: like anything. It can look like wood stone, concrete or whatever. 371 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: And I'm talking about the LVT. 372 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 2: So my biggest concern actually is I'm looking at purchasing homes, 373 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 2: existing homes, and I've seen a lot of tile and 374 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 2: linolium in the basements, and I'm wondering, how do you 375 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: know if there's a mold on that floor? 376 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: And well, yeah, well okay, so here here, here's the lesson. 377 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: So mold grows when you have moisture and organic material 378 00:24:54,359 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: and mold spores in the air. You're tile, your vinyl 379 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: tile or a vinyl sheet good is basically a vapor barrier. 380 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: And if you were gonna put maybe like a wood 381 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: floor down there, you'd have to put a vapor barrier 382 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: in there. And we know there's moisture underneath that concrete 383 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: and there's probably a little bit of dust, but how 384 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: do the mold spores get to it? They're kind of 385 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: cut off, so you don't bake the cake, so to speak. Now, 386 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: you know, I mean it's a basement, so you're you know, 387 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: I mean there's options. I mean another option. If that's 388 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 1: a concern, there's another option, and that would be you 389 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: hear me talk about roller rock and spreadstone. It's a coating, 390 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 1: super good looking, super durable. You put a sealer over it. 391 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: It's not like painting a concrete floor with a bucket 392 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: of paint. You know, that's a vapor barrier too, that's 393 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: ceiling the floor. So moisture can't get up. And I 394 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: mean if you get seventy percent humidity in the basement 395 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: because you got water vapor coming through your walls all 396 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: the time. If you had roller rock down there, or 397 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: you had luxury vinyl top, you could still get mold 398 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 1: on the surface, but you're probably not going to get 399 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: mold underneath, right, I wouldn't put carpon down there. 400 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, the underneath mold is my big concern. I'm afraid 401 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 2: I'm going to buy a house it's got tile of 402 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 2: vinyl vinyl already down for the floor, and then months 403 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: later I started getting feeling sick and turn out the 404 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 2: mold fiasco. 405 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. In fact, I'll tell you this, 406 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: if you bought an older home and they had that 407 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: problem with water, you know what probably happened is that 408 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: tile would just delaminate from the concrete. Water is very powerful. 409 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: Even just more oyster is going to break down paint films, 410 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: it's going to break down tile. I mean, the mold 411 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: would be an extreme. In fact, I would say that 412 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: if you hit vinyl tile on the floor and you 413 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: hit a flood in there, they probably wouldn't remove the tile. 414 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: If you have a carpet, they cut it up and 415 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: haul it out, certainly, But. 416 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 2: What would you say, is it is tile or vinyl 417 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 2: flooring more mold resistant than the other one of the others. 418 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: Or yeah, I would say if I if I chose 419 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: floor finishes, I would say the luxury vinyl tile or 420 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: the luxury vinyl plank. Uh, those would be really good, 421 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: probably the best, one hundred percent water resistant. The roller 422 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: rock coating, I would feel one hundred percent sure on that. 423 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: If you did porcelain or ceramic tile in the basement, 424 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: I'd be one hundred percent with that too. Some of 425 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: your new epoxy coatings, that's that's also an option. I'd 426 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: stay away from rubber and carpet and lambinets. They have 427 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: a tendency to swell with moisture. Solid hardwood not good. 428 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: Engineered wood better than hardwood. I put that in my 429 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: basement years and years ago with kids, and it did fine. 430 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: It did fine. A lot of people go like, you're crazy. 431 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: I go, it's engineered. Would it'll be okay? And it was, 432 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: so you know, you got a lot of options. 433 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 3: Okay, thanks very much, Gary, You're quite welcome. 434 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: Take care all right, and let's go to Deborah Deborah welcome. 435 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 7: Hello, Hello, Hello, can you hear me? 436 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: I can hear you? 437 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 7: Fine, Okay, I'm dealing with a horrible ice built up 438 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 7: this year in my gutters. I have a low ranch house, 439 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 7: so I am able to go out and knock all 440 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 7: the icicles off. And I do have like a leaf 441 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 7: filter leaf guard system on the house. But what is 442 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 7: causing such an ice build up in the first place? Yeah, 443 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 7: I know, up in my attic, I probably don't have 444 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 7: a lot of insulation up there. But this year, especially 445 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 7: because of the harsh winter so far, I'm dealing with 446 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 7: all this ice built up and I need to know. 447 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 3: How to canroll it. 448 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, let's let's you ask what's causing it. And 449 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: you already identified what's causing it. So if you look 450 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: at your attic, your attic is over your house. Your 451 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: house is heated, and if we don't have you know, 452 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: satisfactory insulation on the at floor, the heat from the 453 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: house gets into the attic and it warms the bottom 454 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: of the roof. The snow at the top of the 455 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: roof begins to melt. It works its way all the 456 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: way down to the edge of the house, which is 457 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: the gutters, and that overhang doesn't hang over the house. 458 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: It's getting no warmth, and it freezes, and it freezes 459 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: if you look in your neighborhood. I was telling people 460 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: this months ago actually, and certainly in the last couple 461 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: of weeks when a lot of people were experiencing snow 462 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: and they were getting you know, snow melt. If your 463 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: your house is one of the few houses where the 464 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: snow is melting off the roof, it's telling you either 465 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: you're just really unlucky because that sun's hitting it at 466 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: a perfect angle, or you're under insulated and underventilated and 467 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: allowing that warmth to get in and heat the underside 468 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: of the roof. It's melting the snow. The snow or 469 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: the water runs down, it gets beyond the house on 470 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,959 Speaker 1: the overhang, and it freezes and it creates a dam, 471 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: and the icicles are bringing the water over the dam 472 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: and allowing it to drip on the ground. And worst 473 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: case scenarios, if it continues to melt and the water 474 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: starts going up the roof, then it gets underneath the 475 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: shingles and then it can get in the house. Yeah, 476 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: so that's what's causing it. 477 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 7: Okay, So I need to check into better insulation up 478 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 7: in that attic area. 479 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: Sure, sure, yeah, I think that would be a good 480 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: project for next spring in summer, when we forget the 481 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: all the trials and tribulations we had in the winter. 482 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 7: Can it be the leaf guard or leaf filt? 483 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,239 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Yeah, I don't. I don't think so. 484 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: And here's why I was talking earlier today. I remember 485 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: years and years ago, very bad winter where I lived, 486 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: and there were people literally pulling gutters off their house. 487 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: It was severe. And what happened is a nice dam 488 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: can form on a house at that overhang, on that 489 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: roof without gutters. Gutters make it helpful. But on the 490 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: like on a leaf filter or a leaf you know whatever, No, 491 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: it can still form. In fact, some of the darker 492 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: color ones actually create a little solar energy and help 493 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: melt ice dams. But it's not the cause of it. 494 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 7: No, Okay. I had an issue last night my roof. 495 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 7: I have a ranch and the roof is two separate 496 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 7: levels of the garage area and then above the house 497 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 7: area and where that gully comes down where the roofs meet, 498 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 7: I have a door that goes out onto the back 499 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 7: porch out of my garage and I have a roof 500 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 7: on the back porch, but right above that door, where 501 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 7: the roofs separate in height, there was water dripping, and 502 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 7: it was actually dripping in the door jam itself or 503 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 7: above the door, leaking down the door to where on 504 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 7: the inside I had to lay a towe down last night. 505 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 7: And I'm wondering if that flat roof above my porch, 506 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 7: you're not letting water drain off or something. 507 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: I don't Yes, it could be related, it could be 508 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: something totally different. My guess is it's related between those 509 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: two different heights of woods or roofs. It's called a saddle, 510 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: and so snow actually accumulates there, especially if the wind 511 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: direction has a tendency to blow drifts in there and 512 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: piles up. There's also flashing on the side, so the 513 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: flashing could be bad, or there's an abundance of snow 514 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: that's beginning to melt for maybe the same kind of 515 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: reason in that water's going up and getting underneath the shingling, 516 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: and you know, once water gets in, no telling where 517 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: it's going, and it's you know, path of least resistance, 518 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: and that was the path of least resistance. But I 519 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: don't know if I can't say for sure whether it's 520 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: a flashing issue, whether it's a roofing issue or what, 521 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: but the insulation for sure, and then I would probably 522 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: contact a roofer to take a look at that flashing 523 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:54,800 Speaker 1: up in that area. 524 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, I need to get that snow off of 525 00:34:59,320 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 7: that roof. 526 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: Probably eventually it'll warm up. Yeah, but yeah, you know, 527 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: sometimes really even getting a roofer out there, if you 528 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: have a good, dependable roofer and he's doing that kind 529 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: of work, there's different things, and you see him a 530 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: lot in the mountains and stuff where they have snow 531 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 1: rakes they can actually rake that snow off the off 532 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: the roof, and some roofers might might do that for you, 533 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,879 Speaker 1: So it'd be worth a phone call. All right, thank 534 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: you much. We'll take a break, and we got Darren 535 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: and John and Nolan and Sandra and then Ben.

Thanks? 579 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,359 Speaker 5: Excellent? Excellent, Hey I've got a water heater question for 580 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 5: you today. All right, yesterday my mother in law's water 581 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 5: heater went out. She's got a forty gallon status the 582 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 5: short style, and what I noticed was the supply line 583 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 5: for the water heater was dripping on the top of 584 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 5: the water heater, ran down inside the installation of it, 585 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 5: and looks like it probably shorted out the controllers. I 586 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 5: didn't know what year it was, so went to the 587 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 5: hardware store with full intent of just buying a new one, 588 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 5: and I saw they actually had a repair kit that 589 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 5: had two controllers, two heating elements that would fit perfectly. 590 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 5: So I got those. I came back and went to 591 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 5: replace them. And then I did see a date on 592 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 5: it on the energy guy stick er. It said nineteen 593 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 5: eighty eight. This is a thirty eight year old water 594 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 5: and I thought, well, is there any reason I should 595 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 5: not just replace this, given that it's thirty eight years old. 596 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 5: Even if maybe they made them better back in the. 597 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: Day and all that, well, they certainly did make them better, 598 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 1: there's no question about that. But I think I think 599 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: you got full service out of that. I think you 600 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,879 Speaker 1: did very well. Go to the horse races or something, man, 601 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: No there's a lot of reasons to replace it, you know. 602 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you never want to be surprised when your 603 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: water heater just crashes and everybody's got to get to 604 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: school and work and everything else. So that would be 605 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 1: one reason to replace it. The other reason is is 606 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 1: probably the efficiency. You know, they're a lot more efficient. 607 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,359 Speaker 1: You don't have to buy a high efficient one, but 608 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:17,439 Speaker 1: it's an option for you. So no, I think I'd 609 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,320 Speaker 1: go ahead and replace it. Really, that's a beautiful story, 610 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 1: though it is. 611 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I figured for a fraction of the price, 612 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 5: I could savor the money and I could repair it. 613 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,359 Speaker 5: And then once I saw that date, I thought, ooh, no, 614 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 5: I don't think I want to Yah. 615 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember I'd always be preaching on this show. 616 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: I've been doing it for forty years. But I remember 617 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: I was like, every time I talk about water heaters, 618 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: and you're like, you know, lifespan's probably you know, ten 619 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 1: to fifteen years, more likely twelve, and somebody call and say, like, 620 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 1: I got this water heater. It was put in nineteen 621 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: sixty two, and it happens every now and then, but 622 00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: it's like, holy cow, yeah, you know, one of these 623 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: days it didn't gonna make it and it's better, uh 624 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 1: at this point to clear the money off the table exactly. 625 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 5: And what are your thoughts on the expansion tank? And 626 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 5: she obviously she doesn't have one on on this one, 627 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,919 Speaker 5: but should I put an expansion tank? 628 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's code in a lot of places, so it 629 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,840 Speaker 1: might even be a national code. I don't know, but 630 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: expansion tanks. Yeah, yeah, I get that. Well, thank you. 631 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 5: I appreciate it. Maybe I'll see if any museums want 632 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 5: this water here. 633 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, the company might write the company. May they'll give 634 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: you a free one. 635 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely, all right, thanks, you appreciate it. 636 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: All right, take care of Thanks. That's a great story. 637 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: They're out there, they're out there. It was probably my 638 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,959 Speaker 1: first home had a I think I'm doing the math 639 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 1: real kick. I think it was like twenty five year 640 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 1: old water here that probably that's not as old as 641 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: it is though. Shocking that they could last that long, 642 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 1: that's for sure. Nolan, welcome, Yes, Gary, can you hear me? Yes? 643 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 6: Okay, Uh, that funny about all these things. I just 644 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 6: replaced the water heaters and I want to call it, 645 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,839 Speaker 6: just replaced the water heaterus week in the rental unit 646 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 6: that was there original thirty years old, it was, and 647 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 6: it was perfect, but I was in all this remodel stuff, 648 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,360 Speaker 6: so I just went ahead and replaced it while I 649 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 6: was in there putting down new poont y'all. But anyway, 650 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 6: what I called you about, and you've already talking about 651 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 6: it a couple of times, but I didn't want to 652 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 6: hang up. I got a similar situation that's on these 653 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 6: doors hanging. It's a duplex and the doors are hanging, 654 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 6: uh in the wintertime, and it seemed like it works 655 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 6: right now. Of course we've got some in the central 656 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 6: ducky here. We got a terrible freeze right now, and 657 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 6: I'm sure that's what's coming from. But the doors are 658 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 6: hanging at the top and it's really really tough, and 659 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 6: there wooden't doors, And do you have any suggestions? They 660 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 6: don't have to alleviate this without cutting too much off 661 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 6: of no one causing the bottom for the show. 662 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: So are they sticking? Is that what they're doing? 663 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 5: Yes, that's okay at the top all right. 664 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,959 Speaker 1: So one of the things I would do. We're gonna 665 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,720 Speaker 1: run out of time, That's why I'm rushing you along. 666 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 8: Just loosen the the bottom of the top hinge screws 667 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 8: okay on the jam and see if you can just 668 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:31,879 Speaker 8: use some toothpicks and. 669 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 1: Build that out first. What it is, I'm sure it's 670 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 1: the weather and the humidity, but I think you just 671 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,840 Speaker 1: need to realign that door and maybe get those hinges 672 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 1: more properly set. And rather than cutting that door off, 673 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: you don't want to be surprised, becuse summer and all 674 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,480 Speaker 1: of a sudden, then you got a real big gap. 675 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,360 Speaker 1: So play with those hinges, both on the door and 676 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 1: on the jam. Start with on the jam and then 677 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,399 Speaker 1: make sure those screws are nice.
