Oh I get rid 17 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 3: of it. 18 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: Well, that's a good question. And in forty years, Dennis, 19 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: I've never been asked that I've had red wine on tablecloths. 20 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: You know, this is a story and it worked from 21 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: a long time ago, but I don't know if it'll 22 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: work on concrete because in concrete. You know, like water 23 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: will penetrate through concrete, it'll penetrate down into the capillaria. 24 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: And the one thing I would try would be vinegar. 25 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: But a red wine tip would be to use white 26 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: wine on top of the red wine to remove red 27 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: wine stains on cloth. Now, I don't know if it's 28 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: going to work on concrete. 29 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 3: But that is. 30 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, So a vinegar or a white wine, give that 31 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: a try in all honesty, and you know, hopefully it 32 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: too will get down into those capillaries. I don't know 33 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: how it works, but I've used it on tablecloths already, 34 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: and there's there's a lot of good stained eliminators out there. 35 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: If the white wine on top of red wine doesn't work, 36 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: there's a stain remover that we have at our house 37 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: that I found that the National Hardware Show is called 38 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: Moston Backers. I know it's a good Irish name, Moston 39 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: Backers stain remover, and they have a couple ones for 40 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: pet stains, organic stains, ink and that type of thing. 41 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 1: But Mouston Bokers is m O S. I think it's 42 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: te N B A C H E R. I believe 43 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: Mouston Backers and you get the they got the they 44 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: got a low kit with all three of the different 45 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,119 Speaker 1: stain rumors. That works real good too. I've never been 46 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: defeated with the Mouston Bocker stain remover on anything. But 47 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: if you got some you know, INEXPECSI of white wine 48 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: or some vinegar, give that a try first. 49 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: All right, we'll try it all. Thank you very much, 50 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: and I'll let you know what happens. 51 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: Very good. I appreciate it. Thank you. All right. It's 52 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three eight two five five talking 53 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: about your home. Jeff, welcome. Hey, you doing garay doing fine? Thanks? 54 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 4: Hey, I just seen a show a couple of days 55 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 4: ago where they had spilled red wine all over the 56 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 4: couch and the mom came in and used white wine 57 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 4: to clean it. 58 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: That's exactly what I just just told that fella. It 59 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: really does work. I've done it multiple times on tablecloths 60 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: and different things. I don't know how it'd work on 61 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: granted or even concrete, but on cloth, white wine definitely 62 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: will dissolve the red wine coloring stain for sure. 63 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 4: Yep, it definitely did it. But my question was I 64 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 4: moved to my daughter's and her house was built in 65 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 4: the nineteen seven, so I know it doesn't have a 66 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 4: whole lot of inflation, but they have an unfinished face. 67 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 4: So insulating the ceiling in that basement, is that good 68 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 4: for the upstairs? Like the floor? 69 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: Well, how cold is it in the basement? 70 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: Well that's yeah, that was my other question. In the winter, 71 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 4: it probably gets down to I don't know, fifty five maybe. 72 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: No heat down there, right, no, no, okay, okay, Well, yeah, 73 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: I mean it would help. Don't use a I don't 74 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: think you want to use a faced type insulation unless 75 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: the basement's damp. But you could put up you could 76 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: have foam sprayed in there. You could have batting, unfaced 77 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: batting put in between the joist there. I mean it 78 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: would help. I mean if you feel like, especially like 79 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: if you have like a ceramic floor in a kitchen 80 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: over the basement and it's never warmer in fifty five degrees, 81 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: that ceramic could be chilled and feel a little uncomfortable, 82 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: and putting some insulation there would be beneficial. 83 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 4: I didn't think it could. Obviously, it couldn't. 84 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: Hurt, right, right, it can't hurt. It can't hurt. So 85 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: you know, the other option would be to insulate the 86 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: basement walls but if you don't have heat, it's still 87 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: gonna be you know, it's still gonna be a chilly area. 88 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: Cold temperatures, you know, settle warmth rises. But yeah, I mean, 89 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: you know, if you feel like there's a draft from 90 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: the basement to the first floor or a floor is cold, yeah, 91 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: go ahead and insulate it. 92 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 4: Good deal, all right, Gary, All right, take care? 93 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 5: Thank you have a good day. 94 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: You do the same, Yeah, take care? All right. You 95 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: know another thing we talked about yesterday too, when it 96 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: comes to insulating a basement, and I know he didn't 97 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: have heat down in there, but if you want to 98 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: keep as much of the cold on the outside, first 99 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: of all, when you go below grade, remember those walls. 100 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be fifty five degrees anyway, right, 101 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: it's below grade once you get below that frost line. 102 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: If it's above the frost line or above grade and 103 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: you have winter temperatures in the twenties, you know, that's 104 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: radiating a lot of cold into that basement. And you 105 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: can look at it as encapsulating the basement like you 106 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: would encapsulate a cross space, so you could get you know, 107 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: two inch foam panels on those walls. You could have 108 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: foam sprayed in the pockets of the joist pockets. Sell 109 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: a lot a lot of cold air enters our home 110 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: where the joyster, you know, on the foundation, and there's 111 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: that pocket that goes to you know, the outside and 112 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: the outside frame of the house above grade and air 113 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: gets in there. And a lot of times people just 114 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: stuff some fiberglass insulation in there. But you know that's 115 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: the same stuff that furnace filters are made out of, right, 116 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: So having something a little bit more where there is 117 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: an air infiltration would be better. Foam does a tremendous job, 118 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: and a lot of foamers like a USA insulation where 119 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: they'll spray that in there. Man, that'll seal that up. 120 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: And if you did that in the joist pockets and 121 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: then put either foam or foam panels on the walls 122 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: even below gray just to keep that chill from entering 123 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: into the basement, because you know that might be that 124 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: be advantageous. And then at that point maybe it wouldn't 125 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: be just fifty five degrees. You might be able to 126 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: warm that up and not worry about insulating the floor. 127 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: Then because there's pipes and wires and all kinds of 128 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: things there that are going to be getting in a 129 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: way from the insulation, or putting the insulation in there 130 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: so that that might be another thought. Also, windows that 131 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: are in basement, they're usually very inexpensive windows, not very 132 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: weather tight at all, and putting in an inside a 133 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: glass block window would be beneficial also, especially in eliminating drafts. 134 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: And as you take a walk around the house too, 135 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: a lot of penetrations going through maybe the sighting or 136 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: the brick wall on the outside going into the foundation 137 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: that is above grade, and maybe pipes, electrical cables, et 138 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: cetera going through there on the outside. When you do 139 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: that walk around and even vent pipes, dryer vents and 140 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: things like that, those holes are usually oversized and again 141 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: a lot of draft blowing in around those pipes and 142 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: things on the outside. Just calking those and the ceiling 143 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: those up would be very beneficial. All right, again, our 144 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: phone number and line's open for you. It's eight hundred 145 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: eighty two three eight two five five. We'll continue with 146 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: your calls.

It's 218 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: just fine. Yeah, you don't always have to clean. I 219 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: got them in my home. I bet I've had them 220 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: on for fifteen years. And there's one side of the 221 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: house that I have to take them out about every 222 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: two three years and shake them out, and that's it. 223 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: So one of them I got to hit it with 224 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: a hose. The other side, in the upper level, they're 225 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: they're good to go. I don't have any spillover. It 226 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: keeps them clean. I haven't used them in the ground 227 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: drains or the pipes, but I started noticing a little 228 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: squirrel activity, so I think they're using that as a 229 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: storage area. 230 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 8: You know, the catch basins have a have a have 231 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 8: a spill away that goes out to the branch behind 232 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 8: the house. Uh huh to catch two foot catch. 233 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 9: Basins that I have to have. 234 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 8: I put them inside where the drain goes out over 235 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 8: the top into the pipe, and I just shove one 236 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 8: in there and they keep see leave leave from filling 237 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 8: because the little leaves both of the screen, right, and 238 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 8: but the the tank of a pro paane.

But they're fourteen pounds dry, I think, right. 241 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 8: I keep a bathroom scale in my barbecue bit. 242 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. 243 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 9: Yeah, just like you know when it's. 244 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: There's a there's a little uh how does it fit? 245 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: You know where you're you know how your tank fits 246 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: on the bottom of the grill.

It's made by Abatron and it's 290 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: called wood epos. And this is pressure treated wood or 291 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: not pressure treated wood? Yes, yes, okay, yeah, it sounds 292 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: like that's why I cracked. It was the lack of 293 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: seal it and then the sun hits it and no 294 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: one gets a movement. So take this, Abatron.

We go talking a 354 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: little home improvement and we were chatting with tom about 355 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: the pressure treated wood and how it splits. And he's right, 356 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: if you get pressure treated wood and don't seal it, 357 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: you know, within a couple of months unless it's over 358 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: the winter when the sun. The sun is what really 359 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: causes that to dry out and it'll split. And putting 360 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: a little wood of pox in there patch it up 361 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: very nicely. And Tommy had another question, Yes, you know, I. 362 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 10: Tell you I have this full barn put on and 363 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 10: then I came back a couple years later and had 364 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 10: an apron put on at the entrance and the edgit 365 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 10: fall in. God, they put that fiber in there between 366 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 10: the two sections. 367 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 4: Of the concrete. 368 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 10: So I put the phone in and I put the 369 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 10: quick Creek self leveling Joe. Well, that all sunk, and 370 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 10: I was wondering if there's something I could do, like 371 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 10: maybe get some play sand or builder sand and put 372 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 10: it in there and then come back with, uh, some 373 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 10: of the quick crete self leveling stuff, because right now 374 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 10: I've noticed it's the concrete starting to sink a little 375 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 10: bit and it's no longer level. 376 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: So there's a couple of things we can do here. 377 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: I'll give them both to you. So how big a 378 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: gap is there, Well. 379 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 10: I'm gonna say about a good half inch. 380 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 5: Half inch, okay, maybe some spots a quarter inch, some 381 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 5: spot upt a. 382 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: Half inch okay. So in the areas where it's you know, 383 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: three quarters of an inch half inch, what I would 384 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: recommend is you can put sand in there. To answer 385 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: your question, you would put it in there and you 386 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: would fill that up to about i'd say three ace 387 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: of an inch from the surface, Okay, So you could 388 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: do that or you can use what they call a 389 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: backer rod, and a backer rod is it's like foam rope. 390 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: They used to use oakum way back in the days. 391 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: If you've ever had to do that, it's like creosote 392 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: soaked manila rope. But this foam roping just gets shoved 393 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: down in there with your fingers or your screwdriver something 394 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: along noselanes again, push it down there till it's about 395 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: three ace of an inch from the surface. Basically, the 396 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: whole purpose of that is to give it a foundation 397 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: to hold the patch and the patch you're going to use, 398 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: rather than using a it says you said something about 399 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: like a recap or a resurfacing concrete. What I would 400 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: use is there's two products. Quickly makes them both. One 401 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: of them is a self leveling euthane crack filler. It 402 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: comes in a calking tube and it's a larger cocking 403 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: tube and you need an industrial colcking gun. It's real thick, 404 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: but it comes out it's grain color and it levels. 405 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: It goes down like a big bead. Maybe you'll need 406 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: to put a second bead on top of it, but 407 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: then it'll level out. It'll look very nice and it's 408 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: your thane, which is the highest adhesion rate, the greatest flexibility. 409 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: There's also one called acrylic resins self leveling crack filler, 410 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: which comes in a regular cocking tube. It does not 411 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: require an industrial cocking gun. It's a high quality resin 412 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: which has a lot of the exact same properties as 413 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: the your thane. A little easier to use. Uh, but 414 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: we'll do the same thing. So that's one category. The 415 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: other option here, tom as you said, starts sinking. And 416 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: you know, whenever we have a you know, some excavation 417 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: work around that area and then backfill it and maybe 418 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: we put some gravel in there and we pour a slab, 419 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: there's still settlement settling that occurs over time. I just 420 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: I built my house twenty six years ago on the 421 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: front sidewalk has now settled about two inches. And what 422 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: I've done is I've done what they call slab jacking. 423 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: It's a service. So other people call it concrete leveling. 424 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: Other called mud jacking. But what they do is they 425 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: drill through the slab and it's a relatively i don't know, 426 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: smaller and a half inch hole and they pump under 427 00:26:53,480 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: pressure a grouting which lifts the entire slab all right, 428 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: it'll lift it to a point where there probably won't 429 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: be a gap anymore, and it will have additional support underneath. 430 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: And then that company you can't do it yourself, that 431 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: company will then come back and if calking is needed 432 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: in that back area, they'll do that, and they'll also 433 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: patch the holes where they where they drilled through it. 434 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: So you could do the sand one first and see 435 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: how it does with the your thane or the high 436 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: resin cocking self leveling that I was talking about, or 437 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: you could maybe look into maybe do the slab jacking there. 438 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 10: Now I looked at there, or a number of different 439 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 10: types of sand play sand, builder sand, border sand. What 440 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 10: type would you suggest. 441 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: Well, I'm not even really sure it matters. Probably like 442 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: a builder sand. I think a place you don't want 443 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: a silica sand, you don't want to play sand, just 444 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: like a builder sand. Really, it's so purpose is to 445 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: just fill. It's just a fill. If there's still settling 446 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: occurring underneath that it's going to The sand will settle. 447 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: The calking will hold because of its adhesion to the 448 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: two sides, and it's it's self leveling and everything is 449 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: you know, it can eventually give way obviously, but that's 450 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: got about the best adhesion you're gonna find. Then you're 451 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: probably gonna have to go and take a look at 452 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: the concrete slab jacking. 453 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 10: Yeah, and then, uh, should I let it sit for 454 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 10: a little bit before I put the self leveling. 455 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: No, I just just think of that sand as a filler, 456 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: so you know, get it in there if you you know, 457 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: can you know somehow push something in there to compact 458 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: it just a little bit. It's not going to require much. 459 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: And then just go ahead and and put your your 460 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: thane or your high red and on top of that, 461 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: or use the even the the backer rod that I 462 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: was speaking of the phone. It'll be protected, it'll be 463 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: wedged between the slabs. And again it just functions as 464 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: a as a filler so that you don't waste all 465 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: the uh the good stuff. 466 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 10: Okay, thank you very much, all right, a. 467 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: Lot, thank you.

Thank you? 471 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 4: Alright. 472 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 5: I got two tips for you. Number one that the 473 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 5: young lady that had the had the lid stuck on 474 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 5: her pot yesterday. Yeah, I've had that happen before. Easiest way, 475 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 5: easiest way to fix that if you grab a hold 476 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 5: of the handle on that lid and take a take 477 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 5: a rubber mallet or like a plastic lixie hammer boom 478 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 5: boom boom, and lightly tap, lightly tap that pan. Okay, 479 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 5: on the side of very the very top one we'll 480 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 5: do is a little oval it enough just for that 481 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 5: thing to drop out. 482 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: Huh did you like my cold and hot idea? 483 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 9: That's too much work? 484 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: All right? Well, I was curious if that was gonna work, 485 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: to be honest with you. 486 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 5: You know, you know what they say, a fall else fails, 487 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 5: beat on it. 488 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I'm right there with you. That's a great tip. 489 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I was. I didn't know how to 490 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: answer that one though. It was for people that didn't 491 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: hear it. It was a skill at a frying pan 492 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: and an aluminum lid that when it's cooking. I guess 493 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: it sucked that lid down and jammed it in there. 494 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: So I hope he says, rubber mallet, I guess that 495 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: would work. 496 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 4: Now. 497 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 5: One other tip for you, all right, You know the 498 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 5: metal light posts that you've got in your yard that 499 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 5: rust out every three four or five years. 500 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 9: Makes you've got real acidic soil like I have. 501 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 5: Okay, And besides which, those things are not cheap.

Grab a line, Larry, Welcome, Orry. 578 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 11: Thanks for taking my call, sir, you bet I wanted 579 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 11: to share something with you regarding an electric water tank. 580 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 11: I think I called you last spring when I was 581 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 11: thinking about replacement. When I moved to my house. It 582 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 11: was only a couple of years old, so obviously I 583 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,879 Speaker 11: wasn't worried about replacement. But this year I thought, well, 584 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 11: it's fourteen years old, maybe it's time. And I think 585 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 11: I've a touch base with you to compare the big 586 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 11: box store brands to the plumbing supply brands. Well, I 587 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,240 Speaker 11: end up going with the plumbing supply brand. Okay, And 588 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 11: in case your listeners are on the fence about replacing 589 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 11: the twelve or fourteen year old hot water tank, my 590 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 11: experience was I keep very close tabs of my electric consumption, 591 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 11: and after I had that tank put in and replaced 592 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 11: a private label big box store, my electric bill was 593 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 11: incredibly much lower than the past many years. So for 594 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 11: what it's worth, I put two and two together and 595 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 11: I had to come up with four and that new 596 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 11: hot water tank. Replacing a private label big box store 597 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,760 Speaker 11: fourteen years old with a new one, the electric consumption 598 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 11: dropped incredible. 599 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 1: I got a couple questions, just out of curiosity, Larry 600 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: an Electric. 601 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,399 Speaker 11: Give any named brands. I don't know. If you want 602 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 11: to do add an offer, I can certainly get into you. 603 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, one of the things I was going to 604 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 1: ask you, is you know the apples and apples you know, 605 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: equivalent with electric tank. Some an electric tank fourteen years 606 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: ago could not get the Energy Star rating. Okay, I 607 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: mean couldn't it Just couldn't They have electric water tanks. 608 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: Now that they they're better, they also have the ability 609 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 1: to get an energy Star rating and on the label 610 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: of every hot water tank. Appliances are the same way. 611 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: I just got a new refrigerator, had some issues with it, 612 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: but from a standpoint of energy consumption, remarkably different. Now 613 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: there's twenty year difference there. 614 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 11: Yeah, so they have a label that comes with it 615 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 11: tells you that, Yes. 616 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: That's what I was going to say. And I don't 617 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,320 Speaker 1: know if you compared that when you were making that purchase, 618 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: but everybody. 619 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 4: Well I did. Yeah, there's a rating. 620 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 11: I think it's called a you you you E F 621 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 11: or UF. 622 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 4: What is it? 623 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: It's the I don't know, but I know what you mean. 624 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: Are there even on windows? 625 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 11: And of course the electric is much more efficient than 626 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 11: a gas uh. And I think I think the I 627 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,839 Speaker 11: think the rating was comparable to my old one, but 628 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,320 Speaker 11: I'm thinking that probably the maybe the heating elements and 629 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,399 Speaker 11: that big box store brand might have not been as 630 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 11: good as a plumbing supply well, and they were getting 631 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:23,240 Speaker 11: croded and calcium and but my lectric consumption really really dropped, 632 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 11: I mean unbelievable. So I wish I would have replaced 633 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 11: it five years ago. 634 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 1: But you know, that's anyway, that's amazing, I know, And 635 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: sometimes it's good brands they get kind of shuffled in 636 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: a little confusing too, because like Ao Smith, they and 637 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's still not a great brand, but 638 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 1: you can get those at Low's now you used to 639 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 1: have to get them all from plumbing. 640 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 11: Yes, and you can buy Ram at home Depot, but 641 00:38:54,920 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 11: I've read and read and read, and you get mixed reviews. 642 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 11: And in order for Lows and Home Depot to sell 643 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 11: those brands at the prices they sell compared to the 644 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,720 Speaker 11: plumbing supply stores, there has to be some difference. 645 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: Well, these companies, there's a couple of things, and this 646 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: is just a little consumer advice kind of what you're giving. 647 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:22,280 Speaker 1: But some things like Remington, for instance, that's a brand 648 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: name we all grew up with in fact, and you know, 649 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 1: and companies like a Home Depot will buy that brand 650 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 1: name and create their own product under that brand name, right, 651 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: And when it comes to like what we're talking, some 652 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: of the water heater companies they will make it'll be 653 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 1: made by Aosmith or Reem, but it might be their 654 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:52,479 Speaker 1: entry level. And the plumbing supplies don't carry the entry 655 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: level they play.

I 711 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 9: like to knock it down a. 712 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 1: Few so there is no thermostatic setting, is what you're saying. 713 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: On that on that water. 714 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 4: I don't know. 715 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,839 Speaker 9: It's got all kinds of it on there.

Lot? 721 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 9: Then they cause all that new insulation because it's so 722 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,360 Speaker 9: much biggarsling. I can figure. 723 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's somewhere you got to get that pollo. 724 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: It's not going to get that uh, that reservoir of 725 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 1: water to that degree and then be able to hold it. 726 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: And I mean you got you got to have it 727 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: on something on a setting on low or something. Have 728 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 1: you moved that to low to see what happens. 729 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,319 Speaker 9: I've got it on just dull palate likes. I've got 730 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 9: it on. I've got everything turned off. But I only 731 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,479 Speaker 9: use hot water maybe once a day, and not that much. 732 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 9: And I guess that palette light and that thing's in 733 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 9: talks with the candles on. 734 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, Well even even that you know it, 735 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 1: you may be right. The recovery on that wouldn't be 736 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, if you're not using much hot water, it's 737 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 1: not going to require that much recovery. I don't know. 738 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,879 Speaker 1: I would get on that in the manual though, and 739 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:09,319 Speaker 1: read about the h the settings and see if there 740 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,279 Speaker 1: is a clue or an answer there.
