I know where I 16 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: am right now. You know it's almost fifteen, the sun's out. 17 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: I talked to my daughter down in Charlotte yesterday seventy 18 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: seven degrees and beautiful. They were talking about some of 19 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: the things they got done around their home, and of 20 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: course winters also in the foreseeable future, and we can 21 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: talk about some getting your home ready for colder temperatures 22 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: and all that ugly stuff, or we can put some 23 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: warmer weather projects that you may have been putting off 24 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: around the home and get that done. And one of 25 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: the things we chatted about yesterday which I'd kind of 26 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: like to go through again because it's really very timely 27 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: if you got some decent weather above freezing, is the 28 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: concrete surfaces. You know as well as I do. We 29 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: take a lot of questions regarding concrete surfaces on this show. Cracks, spawling, 30 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: where the surface is popped off, needing ceiling. Having done 31 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: that for a while, we have oil stains, so we can, 32 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: you know, chat a little bit about that because we 33 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: can get those done. And remember, for cracks that really 34 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: are under a quarter of an inch, using a liquid 35 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: cracked sealer a quick creep makes one simply called crack seal. 36 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: It's an acrylic It is simply poured into the crack, 37 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: it levels out, and it does quite a job of 38 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: sealing that crack up. And then if you want to 39 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: follow back up with the seiler, of course, that's going 40 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: to protect that concrete driveway from maybe some snow and 41 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: ice damage, maybe some rock salt damage that you would 42 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: be drinking dragging in Again, that's for colder climates, but 43 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: they are very very corrosive and very aggressive too concrete 44 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: if laid to sit on a concrete surface, So we 45 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: can get those patched up. Also, we can do it 46 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: with a cementatious product or just an acrylic product with 47 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: no cementatious base at all, which means it's a little 48 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: more resistant to those particular types of problems. So we 49 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: can take care of some of those problems. And whoa, 50 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: how about that garage used for years? How people enter 51 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: our homes, our guests through the garage in a lot 52 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: of cases just depending on how your house is laid out. 53 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: But let's get that cleaned up. Let's get that driveway 54 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: floor sealed, Let's get it patched up. Let's it doesn't 55 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: have to look like a foyer, but it also doesn't 56 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: have to look like a dingy you know, dingy garage either. 57 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: So let me give you the phone number and then 58 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: we'll come back with take some of your calls.

Some of those need to 66 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: be penetrating, they need to be breathable, and yet others 67 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: are more solid and on the surface and glossy.

We'd address the spawling a little bit, 118 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: we address the small cracks, but let's start Kenda from 119 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: the garage floor out. First of all, I said, WHOA, 120 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: what about that garage floor. Even if you're just going 121 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: to organize it. Uh, maybe you're gonna win a rise 122 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: your lawnmower. Maybe you're going to clean your garden tools, 123 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: sharpen the spates and just kind of get everything off 124 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: the floor and give it a good cleaning. That would 125 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: be great. The one thing you're going to encounter, h 126 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: for sure, in most cases, you're going to encounter some 127 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: oil stains and oil stains. There's all kinds of things. 128 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: And when we open that up sometimes people call in 129 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: their home tips and everything, everything from don liquid soap 130 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: to spring WD forty on the oil stain and us 131 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: an old soil access. But I'll tell you, really, there's 132 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: two that I really recommend that I think do that 133 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: are pretty effective no matter how much oil there is, 134 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: no matter how long it's been there. One of them 135 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: is called the brand name is Crudcutter, and they have 136 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 1: a crugcutter that's with a K and they have that 137 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: for old or fresh oil stains. It is nothing that 138 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: has to really be scrubbed. It's nothing that has to 139 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: be hosed off, which is good. That keeps that residue 140 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: out of our waterways and different things. But the crud 141 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: cutter is a liquid that is poured on, almost like 142 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: a can pancake batter would be. You would pour it 143 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: onto the oil stain. You would let it sit. So 144 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: you're not gonna, you know, clean that whole garage that day. 145 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: You're just gonna start treating the oil stains and it'll 146 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: take a couple of two or three days and literally 147 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: it'll turn to a powder and you can just sweep 148 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: it away and no scrubbing. It pulls that oil right 149 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: out of there. If perchance, you know, because there are 150 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: different types of oils and different types of problems and 151 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: different porosity. Is a concrete but if perchance that wouldn't work, 152 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: that's kind of my number one go to product, that 153 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: crud cutter, driveway, an oil stain remover. There's one called 154 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: act Act. It comes. You got to buy like ten 155 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: pounds of it. It's a powder. It's a microbe that 156 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: actually eats the oil and similar to the crug cutter, 157 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: but different. So this is sprinkled on. It is a 158 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: powder and it just it literally eats the oil, I 159 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: mean eats the oil. It doesn't dry it out, It 160 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: eats the oil. And when it's removed it and there 161 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: is no more oil. That powder will disappear. I know 162 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: it sounds weird, and that oil stain will be gone. 163 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: It does a great job. So if you get the 164 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: oil stains out and then you can work on cleaning 165 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: the surface again. In oxygenated bleach will do a really 166 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: good job of cleaning concrete. Think about it. Before you 167 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: get the pressure washer out, and I know you all 168 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: want to get that pressure washer in there, but use 169 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: an oxygenate bleach. A good concrete cleaner which is an 170 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: oxygenate bleach of the powder, mix it with water, get 171 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: it on the surface of that garage floor. Let it 172 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: begin to lift the grime, the dirt, the oil stains 173 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: already gone. Then get your pressure washer out and just 174 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: give it a good blasting and get that garage floor 175 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: cleaned up, and then you can do whatever you want 176 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: with I mean, you can stop the process there and 177 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: then go organize the garage. Or or you could take 178 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: a look at some coatings. I talk a lot about 179 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: dice coatings. The roller rock a great protectant that can 180 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: bite onto that concrete very nicely and it's slip resistant. 181 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: Or if you just want to use a sealer that 182 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: would be slip resistant on the concrete. They got one 183 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: called track Safe And by the way, I just throw 184 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: this in as a caveat. It was not what I 185 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: was going to talk about. But they do have a 186 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: Black Friday special again I'm looking for. It's twenty five 187 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: percent off any dish product from the twenty seventh of 188 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: November to December first. If you're entertaining using any of 189 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: their products, take advantage of that. That's quite a deal. 190 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: And it's dai Chcoatings dot Com and that's from the 191 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: twenty seventh to the first at twenty five percent off. 192 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: So the roller Rock you could do two coats of 193 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 1: that and then put a track safe clear ceiling over there. 194 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: You should be able. Unlike the epoxy kits that you 195 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: see in the stores and things. I would say at 196 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: roller Rock you'll get somewhere around fifteen years protection out 197 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: of that. It's do it your self product. It can 198 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: be rolled on, but man, what a way to dress 199 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: up that garage floor. Don't just use a paint. You're 200 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: gonna be very disappointed. The epoxy kits, I think you'll 201 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: get maybe four or five years out of Other people 202 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: have had better success. That's been my experience. Clear ceiling, 203 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: that's fine. A clear ceiling like a track safe will 204 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: get you anywhere from four to five years. Then you reapply. 205 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: But what I'm just trying, and there's other things too. 206 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: You can get a tile that snaps together to go 207 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: over a garage floor and you know, you cover up 208 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: all past sins. It is a hard plastic, so you 209 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: have literally a new surface. You can do a two 210 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: car garage for under a thousand bucks. It's got a 211 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: little diamond pattern like you'd see, you know, maybe in 212 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: a car shop. But that's another really nice way to 213 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: kind of dress it up. And then if you want 214 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: to go further with getting organized, you know, there's all 215 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: kinds of things from peg board to slat board, slapboard. 216 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: You can put a little heavier duty hooks in there 217 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: for the shovels and the blowers and the spades and 218 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: the you know, rakes snowshovels, so you can get that 219 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: stuff off the floor and out of the corners of 220 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: the garage. You can get hooks that hang or screw 221 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: into the joyst through the ceiling of the garage away 222 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: from you gotta be mindful where that garage door comes back, 223 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,359 Speaker 1: so you'd be at the back back edge of the garage, 224 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: but you can hang the bikes upside down from the 225 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: ceiling get them off the floor. So try to try 226 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: to look at the cube that you have in the garage. 227 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: In store going up, you can put in shelves. There's 228 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: all kinds. There's a wonderful shelves that I put in 229 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: probably gosh, fifteen years ago. I can't even remember the 230 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: brand name of them, but it has the standards and 231 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: there's just a screw at the top so they're kind 232 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: of free hanging and then the shelves kind of pull 233 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: it together. Then when you get the shelves on there, 234 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: you put screw down the base so you're all squared up. 235 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: You can change the different heights of the shelves. There's 236 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: a cost of that. You can also build wood shelves 237 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: if you want. I'm just again getting that product off 238 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: the floor and up onto the walls. In a cube, 239 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: you can be way way ahead of the game. So 240 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: if you get that floor decorated out, and maybe before 241 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: you do the shelves and the storage, maybe you paint 242 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: the walls. And I get asked that question a lot, 243 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: is what kind of paint do I use in a 244 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: garage just regular interior paint. I mean, you could probably 245 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: use exterior paint. Exterior paint's got probably a little bit 246 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: more in there than you want, like mill sides and 247 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: UV resistance. But I just use regular indoor wall paint. 248 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: If you want to do it satin, fine, If you 249 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: want to do it just flat, that's fine. If you 250 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: want to use really good just flat paint, that's great 251 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: because that's scrubs. So as you can see, we can 252 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: not only get our garage organized. You know, the old 253 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: pile is you know, we don't you know, if you're 254 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: going to keep it, let's store in the cube, going 255 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: vertically rather than sitting it on the ground. You know, 256 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: leave the ground for things like your snowblower or your lawnmower. 257 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: And this can apply also though it doesn't have to 258 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: be as ornate as a garage, but a storage shed. 259 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: Getting that organized always chuckle when I see some people's sheds, 260 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: it's like a dumpster with doors. They just throw everything 261 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: in there and then when you want it, you got 262 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: to take half the stuff out. But if we can 263 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: just take a time to get it a little bit organized, 264 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: and especially in the garage because like I said, that's 265 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: a passageway into your home. In a lot of cases, 266 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: especially bad weather, if you're in driveways right next to 267 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: the garage doors, you know, maybe you have to turn, 268 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: you know, go in the driveway and then take a 269 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: hard right to get inside the garage. But people, you know, 270 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: visitors will sometimes park there and you'll have the door open, 271 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: they can walk right in, you know, have it welcoming. 272 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: So something to just kind of take a look at 273 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: and decide. But I feel that one of the largest 274 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: wasted areas of our homes that are very abused and 275 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: keeping it clean. You know, we all have issues. You know, 276 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: leaves this time of year kind of blow in, but 277 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: you know, just to let the oil stains continue to 278 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: mount and the dirty concrete. I know there's other things 279 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: you're working on, but you can clean up a garage 280 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: fairly inexpensively. And if you do have it where people 281 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: enter your home on occasion, it would really behoove you 282 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: to kind of dress that up a little bit and 283 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: get it looking pretty good. Well, you know, this is 284 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: the time of year, we're busy. I've got some tips 285 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: on decorating on the outside of the house. I want 286 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: to pass on to you and also cleaning, cleaning before 287 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: the guests come, cleaning after the guests come, and we'll 288 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: talk about some of the Jaws products. And then the 289 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: other thing, of course, is as the cold weather approaches, 290 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: it can be kind of a real drag on your 291 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: entire plumbing systems.

I know you guys are throughout 351 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: the United States and you know that name. Just when 352 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: we start talking about plumbing and pipes, that name just 353 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: pops in many of our heads. And on your website, 354 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: I've said this main time, paulse you got really informative 355 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: website that talks about what to do in the fall 356 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: and what to do in the winter. And let's just 357 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: go through some of those fall maintenance tips if you 358 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: don't mind. 359 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, well you said it. I mean we've got 360 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 4: so much information at rotoroter dot com. If you miss 361 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 4: something that Gary and I talk about today, go there 362 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 4: search winter Rising and you'll find all kinds of blogs 363 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,479 Speaker 4: and videos and things like that. But yeah, if I 364 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 4: had to say, you know, the number one thing that 365 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 4: causes problems is is frozen pipes, and it's usually that 366 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 4: outdoor faucet. So everybody listening, go out there after this. 367 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 4: Disconnect your outdoor hoses for sure, before you cover them 368 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 4: up with a foam insulation kit. Watch them for a 369 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 4: few minutes and make sure they aren't dripping, because if 370 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 4: they are, you might have a leak there, and it's 371 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 4: best to fix that before winter arrives. 372 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: For sure. For sure. Yeah, I've been preaching that since 373 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: probably about mid September. You know, it's so important. I mean, 374 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: you know, there's two different types of faucets, and some 375 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: people think that frostproof faucet prevents everything. But if that 376 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: garden hose is attached to it and there's water in it, 377 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: it's just back flowing back into that pipe, and you're 378 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: going to have a problem for sure. 379 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you know, I've got those frostproof hose bebs 380 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 4: in my home and I don't have the disconnects down 381 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 4: in the basement that I have to drain out. But 382 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 4: I know a lot of people do, right, People forget 383 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 4: to do that. And if you've got those, you know, 384 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 4: go shut that valve off, go outside and drain it out, 385 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 4: Let all the water get out of the system, and 386 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 4: then cover it with a with a foam insulation kit 387 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 4: and you know, rest easy this winter without that extra 388 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 4: worry of sure of a and pipe bursting. 389 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,959 Speaker 1: You know, heaven doing you know, doing this show for 390 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: like thirty nine years, Paul I always equate winter time 391 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: with water heater questions. Now, the water heater for the 392 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: most parts insideer home. What what what do we have 393 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: to do if anything? Or is that just I know, 394 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: when it gets cold outside, it's tough on plumbing. 395 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 4: It is, you know, it's the it's that elephant in 396 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 4: the room that we all want to ignore. We know 397 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 4: it does its job, makes a little rumble here and there, 398 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 4: but for the most part, it's awfully dependable on your 399 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 4: water heater. So you know, let's give it a little love. 400 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 4: This is a good time of year to go check 401 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 4: it out. Uh, you know, feel around the pipes going 402 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 4: in the inlet, the outlet, make sure there's no leaks 403 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 4: up there. Look around the base of it if you uh, 404 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 4: if you see any water around the floor that could 405 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 4: have been coming out of that Uh. That tube that 406 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 4: runs down the side of your water heater is connected 407 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 4: to your temperature and pressure relief. And if that thing's 408 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 4: burping and shooting water out. That means your heater is 409 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 4: either getting too hot or it's developing too much pressure 410 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 4: in the tank, and you want to deal with that 411 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 4: before winter too. But you know, it's a great time 412 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 4: fall to drain down, flush out the sediment that accumulates 413 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 4: in the bottom of your water heater, so that you'll 414 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 4: find instructions at rotorator dot com on how to do that. 415 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 4: There are great YouTube videos showing you how to do that. 416 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 4: But you'll save yourself a lot of trouble and extend 417 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 4: the life of that water heater by draining that sediment 418 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 4: out of the bottom of it. 419 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: Every year, you know, we talk about that, and sometimes 420 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: you can just drain off like two or three gallons 421 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: and remember that water's hot, and you know it'll be 422 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: kind of uh, you know, rusty colored or something along 423 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: those lines. That'll be clear and you're probably good to go. 424 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: One caution I've used in the past. I don't know 425 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: how you feel about this. If you're somebody that's listening 426 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: right now and that hot water heater is for the 427 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: water heater is twelve years old and you've never drained it, 428 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 1: sometimes that sentiment's kind of holding the water heater together. 429 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you're right. They say eleven years is 430 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 4: the life expectancy of a typical conventional water heater. Yeah, 431 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 4: if you've never done it before, you're right, Garret, you 432 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 4: might be inviting some problems starting that ten or twelve 433 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 4: years into the life of your water heat. 434 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 5: Oh. 435 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 4: Boy, if it broke, don't fix it at that point. 436 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great to start out doing that and keep 437 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: doing it, but boy, if you haven't done anything, it 438 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: might be a little more cautious. How about the some pump. 439 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: We've had some decent rains at least where we're at 440 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: testing them. If you haven't had a lot of rain, 441 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: probably a real good idea. 442 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know that's some pump. You know, if 443 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 4: you're getting heavy rain in the fall, you can get 444 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 4: down and watch it. If there's water coming into the pit, 445 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 4: you want to see if that pumps turning itself on, 446 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 4: most of the water out of the pit and then 447 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 4: turning itself off again without any trouble. And if you 448 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 4: don't have water in the pit right now, you can 449 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 4: run a garden host through the basement window works, get 450 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 4: a five gallon bucket and pour it in that pit 451 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 4: and make sure the pump's doing its thing, and if 452 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 4: it isn't, or if it's hot, nothing in something's off 453 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 4: running too long. I've had one to do that before. 454 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 4: It's a good time to get it, Get it taken 455 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 4: care of before winter, because before you know it, we're 456 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 4: going to have the spring falls and there's going to 457 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 4: be a lot of groundwater seeping in the basement walls 458 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 4: and floors. 459 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and you. 460 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 4: Want that some pump to be working when it's time 461 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 4: for it to. 462 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: Be working, No doubt about that, No doubt about that. 463 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: And before long it's also going to be hard freeze times. 464 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: And I know you started out talking about frozen pipes, 465 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: and gosh, I can just imagine just how busy you 466 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: get on a day where it's ten below zero and 467 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: pipes are freezing. Give me some areas, or give my 468 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: listeners some areas where to inspect looking for pipes that 469 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: are exposed. If you've lived in a house for thirty years, 470 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: you probably know where it's vulnerable. But where should we 471 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: be looking for pipes that could freeze? 472 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 4: Yeah? You know any any pipes that are exposed to 473 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 4: the elements are a little colder with those outside walls. 474 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 4: We talked about the hose bichs, the ones that are 475 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 4: connected to hose bitch once you've taken care of those, 476 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 4: if you've got a crawl space, or if you've got 477 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 4: pipes running through your garage or your attic like that 478 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 4: in Florida, you'll want to take a look at those 479 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 4: and know the difference between a water supply pipe, which 480 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 4: is usually copper, it might be pecks and could even 481 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 4: be cast iron, and a drain pipe, which is usually 482 00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 4: PVC or they're usually a larger diameter pipe. That's easy 483 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 4: way to know the difference, right. You know, if we've 484 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 4: seen people gary that they think they've they've insulated their 485 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 4: pipes and looking at that cross base or looking under 486 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 4: a pier and beam home and find out they put 487 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 4: pipe insulation around a drain line, but they've neglected their 488 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 4: water supply pipes. And if drain lines are pitched properly, 489 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 4: you usually don't have to worry about those freezing. Other 490 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 4: are always exceptions, but it's the water supply pipes that 491 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 4: those copper lines especially that will and see PVC and 492 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 4: those things you want to make sure you've got good 493 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 4: insulation on them. If you've got a pipe that is 494 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 4: especially vulnerable. You can run thermostat, controlled heat tape or 495 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 4: heat cable that will keep that pipe from freezing. I've 496 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 4: got one right now running on my backflowsalves outside connected 497 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 4: to my sprinkler system, because they're not going to be 498 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 4: able to get to me until for another week or so, 499 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 4: and we're already getting it dipping into freezing temperatures and 500 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 4: that's all it takes to do damage. 501 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. And you know, I guess 502 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: those vulnerabilities are different in different areas too. You're talking 503 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: about Florida, and I'm not in Florida, so I forget 504 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: about that. They get freezing cold temperatures sometimes too, and 505 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: the protection on those pipes isn't quite as great in 506 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: the Midwest, where I am a little different ball game. 507 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: But you get some older housing, no insulation in walls, 508 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: and you know, block construction, and that copper pipes running 509 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: right along that block underneath the kitchen sink. That that's 510 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: vulnerability as height. 511 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 4: Oh gosh. 512 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. 513 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 4: And what you have to think about is when it 514 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 4: when a pipe freezes, you know, it creates pressure. There's 515 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 4: an ice block in there, and it creates pressure, and 516 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 4: that pressure's got to give somewhere, and that's why they 517 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 4: tell you, you know, you can leave your leave your 518 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:57,959 Speaker 4: at least some thinks trickling during extreme cold periods, it 519 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 4: leaves the pressure. So if you get something freezing, that 520 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 4: pressure is going to go somewhere, and often it's out 521 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 4: the side of the pipe wall, right, yeah, first fight. 522 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah. I was just gonna say, even if you 523 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: have one of those situations that I just described, you know, 524 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: leaving the cabinet doors opened, and uh, you know, if 525 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: you don't have any foam sleeves around that copper, that's 526 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: something you can do today because we always love to 527 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: put that off. 528 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 4: Them at the box doores and uh, you know, keep 529 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 4: some of that stuff aranging. Never know when you're gonna 530 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 4: need it. 531 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: I know folks call rotor ruter when they have plumbing 532 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: problems and also drain problems. Is there any drain maintenance 533 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: a homeowner can do anytime of the year. Yeah, things 534 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: are just running the littlest slow. 535 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 4: Sure, when things are slow, Uh, you know, you think 536 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 4: about your house, which drains typically run slow. The shower 537 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 4: drain in my house run same here slow from time 538 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 4: to time. And me and my wife has longer hair 539 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 4: and boy but it's like, you know, every six months 540 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 4: or so, I got to slow drain in there so 541 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 4: you can get one of those little you know, the 542 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 4: little plastic drain widgets that you put down in there 543 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 4: and even put a hook in a metal coat hanger. 544 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 4: Push it down in that pipe, twist it around a 545 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 4: few times, go fishing. I said, right, pull back and 546 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,719 Speaker 4: you'll be surprised what you catch down there. Do that 547 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 4: two or three times until nothing else is coming up. 548 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 4: That takes care of it. And then after you've cleaned it. 549 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 4: There's a lot of these bioins. I'm drain care products 550 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 4: aren't caustic and and you know with the fumes and everything, 551 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 4: they're natural products, right, and those that you introduce good 552 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 4: bacteria down into the pipes and it eats away A 553 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 4: lot of that gunk doesn't work instantly, but you leave 554 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 4: it sitting there overnight, it works miracles sure. 555 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: And we put so much of that gunk in there ourselves. 556 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: I mean, our toothpaste has gelling it, our shaving cream 557 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: is jelling it, our hairspray has gelling it. Everything we 558 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: use in a bathroom has gel in it. That makes 559 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: the inside of those pipes nice and tacky and it 560 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: kind of collects things. And you're right, those enzyme products 561 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: do a pretty good, pretty good job. I've used one 562 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:18,280 Speaker 1: called Drainbow. Just put the plug in the vanity bowl 563 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: and put some warm water in there and pour some 564 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: of the drain Bow in there. Let's sit about ten minutes. 565 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: It activates it, and pull the plug and let's sit over. 566 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 4: Yes, they're great products. And you know this week of 567 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 4: always you mentioned at the top, we're coming into Thanksgiving 568 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 4: and plumbers called brown Friday. It's the busiest day of 569 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 4: the year for Roto Router and most plumbing companies in 570 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 4: most markets because drains just get overloaded. You get a 571 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 4: house full of guests and they're taking extra showers, they're 572 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 4: they're flushing the toilet more often, running the disposal, and 573 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 4: making a big meal in the kitchen. All those things 574 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 4: come together. It's a perfect storm for your drain system. 575 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 4: And that's why so many dreams back up on Thanksgiving 576 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 4: and the Friday after. 577 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: So if I have twenty potatoes to appeel on Thursday, 578 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,879 Speaker 1: I don't take all the scraps and shot them down 579 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: the disposal. 580 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 4: It happens every year and every time. 581 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: All right, Well, we've been preaching a little bit of 582 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: that too.

You know, vanity sink, slow drip, 590 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: toilet flushes itself.

Well, you know, D eight 670 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: natured alcohol is used a lot in woodworking, even from 671 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: mixing it with shelac and creating even prossy of the 672 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:22,359 Speaker 1: wood before staining and different things. But as a cleanerture 673 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: denatured alcohol, it'll remove any dirt and there's probably not 674 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: much dirt left, but any oils, fingerprints, sanding dust. Even 675 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: though you got a lot of it off, there's probably 676 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 1: a lot you don't see too. And it really will 677 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: help with the stain and it'll finish better. The best 678 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: part is it evaporates very quickly after you use it. 679 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 1: I mean give it five minutes and you're ready to go. 680 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 5: Okay. One other quick question using the acid tone and 681 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 5: the dnation alcohol i'd like to use some gloves. I 682 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 5: didn't know if latex or rubber or nitral would be 683 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 5: the best glove to use with those products. 684 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: I don't know the makeup of the glove, but I 685 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 1: know in the department where you're looking at the acetones 686 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,800 Speaker 1: and stuff and some strippers, they'll have a glove there 687 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 1: for you in the part where they have the strippers. 688 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: Outside of that, you'd have to read the label. I 689 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: don't know the actual makeup of the glove itself. 690 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,399 Speaker 5: I got you, all right, Gery. I appreciate your help. 691 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: You're quite welcome. Thanks again for hold on. I appreciate 692 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 1: it all right. Yeah, that dnage ilcohol is a good cleaner. 693 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,439 Speaker 1: When I was talking about and this is we haven't 694 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: talked about this for a while. But if you are 695 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 1: stripping an old I don't know, whatever desk, buffet, kitchen 696 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:56,360 Speaker 1: table or whatever, or maybe an inexpensive piece of wood 697 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 1: a little hope chest or end table and that's made 698 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: of pine, maybe you picked it up at an unfinished 699 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: furniture shop or something along those lines, and you're going 700 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: to stain it and you're going to finish it and 701 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,240 Speaker 1: put it in a bedroom or give it to somebody 702 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 1: as a gift. A couple things to think about. It 703 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 1: really depends on the wood. And I keep that threatening 704 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,840 Speaker 1: a couple of my friends. One is a wood turner 705 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: and the other one is a wood worker, and what 706 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: a great hobby. I don't do that, but I'm going 707 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:34,799 Speaker 1: to have them on and talk about their hobby and 708 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: one of the things, you know, and they really get 709 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 1: into finishes too. And one of the things you can 710 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 1: do to minimize the varying porosity of wood is to 711 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: take denatured alcohol fifty percent denatured alcohol fifty percent SLAC, 712 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 1: mix it together and put a code of that onto 713 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 1: pine and you won't have those real random ups and 714 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 1: down of dark in light of the same stain. So 715 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 1: it kind of evens that out. You can kind of 716 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 1: make pine be a little more even almost, uh you know, 717 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: maybe like a maple, not exactly, but it will certainly 718 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 1: even it out.
