We've had a couple calls a day, 34 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: not a whole lot. I don't want to. Well, we 35 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: can if you want to get into basement and cross 36 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: spaces and leakage and things like that, but if you 37 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: have a chance, I mean, we've had some up and 38 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: down weather. We've had some pretty good rain showers, we 39 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,119 Speaker 1: had snow melt, we had a lot of things going 40 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: on this year. Still do and maybe you've already done this. 41 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: If you haven't, do so, take some time and just 42 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: you know, check that basement for moisture. Just take a look. 43 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: Take a look, all right, Jennie, welcome. Hi. 44 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: I have a problem with the floor it's on. I 45 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: think it's it's like planks, but I don't know what 46 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 2: it's like really made out of. And I'm thinking that 47 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 2: it's due to water waterly because it's it's in the bathroom, 48 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: but the floor is also on a slab, so I 49 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 2: didn't know if the cold had something to do with that. 50 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 2: But it's like the planks have like before you couldn't 51 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: see gaps between them and now you can. And then 52 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 2: we there there was a leak and it was fixed. 53 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: They said it wasn't sealed properly. I noted the toilet, 54 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 2: so it took. 55 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,279 Speaker 1: The toilet off and put in a new seal. 56 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 3: Correct. 57 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: And I'm not sure at what point I noticed the floor. 58 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: I think it was after that that, okay. And then also, 59 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: like I said, it's on the slab and and like 60 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: in the kitchen, so the kitchen is on the other 61 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: side of the wall from the bathroom. But it's really 62 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: cold downstairs in the winter, and I think it's probably 63 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: probably lacking insulation because like when you open up the microwave, 64 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: you just get this like rush of cold air. And 65 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: there's a co closet between the bathroom and the kitchen 66 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:23,799 Speaker 2: that has like a small access door to crawl space. Yeah, 67 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 2: and I noticed that sometimes that falls off, the door 68 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 2: falls off, But I didn't know if insulation is part 69 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: of my problems or was that the damage. 70 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean all of those things can can cause moisture, 71 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: and moisture can cause that floor to separate, shrink expand 72 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: so all those could come into play again. I think 73 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,239 Speaker 1: it'd be helpful if we know what kind of flooring 74 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: we have. Obviously it's not vinyl, so it's either a 75 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: wood floor, it's an engineered wood floor, or it's a 76 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: a composite or a laminate floor, something along nose lines. 77 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: And when it gets wet, Janis, it can take up 78 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: to six months to kind of settle back down, okay now, 79 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: or it may never never settle back down. But I 80 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: would have to say moisture has caused that, whether it's 81 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: the seal at the bottom of the toilet, it let 82 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: water get underneath that floor, that water has kind of 83 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: buck or the floor's kind of buckled or moved, and 84 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: that was the problem, and now the water's taking You know, 85 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: it's taken care of because the sails, the seal's been 86 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: fixed and the problem's over except for the floor. Now 87 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: we gotta wait. We gotta wait and see if that's 88 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: going to dry out and settle back down or it's not. 89 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: As far as the insulation, yeah, I mean it could 90 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: be the insulation and condensation could be forming. 91 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 2: Okay, So should I get like, I know you talked 92 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: about USA insulation sometimes to like get them out there 93 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: to evaluate or well. 94 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,239 Speaker 1: So where the insulations on the other side of the wall, 95 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: you think is that it I was having a hard 96 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: time following that. 97 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: Well, so there's the bay, the whole bathroom, and then 98 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 2: next to that there's a coke closet with the So 99 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: there's some like dead space behind that coke closet, and 100 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: that's where there's that like little trap door to the 101 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: crawl space. Okay, and I'm thinking that's where where extra 102 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: inslation might just because of the temperature difference between upstairs. 103 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: And down well, it could be be mindful basements are 104 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: always colder than the rest of the house. Cold air set. 105 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: It's okay, all right, you're right in a crawl space. 106 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: We've got the joye and the joyst pockets. There may 107 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: be some insulation that's stuffed in there. Having USA Insulation 108 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: foam that would be helpful. Yes, So you know, I 109 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: would you know, if there is a lot of cold 110 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: that's coming into a heated area, that can cause moisture 111 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: and it's also costing you money if it's letting cold 112 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: air in. So to answer your question, yeah, if it's 113 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: and especially the crawl space, I know USA Insulation can 114 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: fill in those rim joists and make it significantly warmer. 115 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's just mother Earth the dirt 116 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: on the cross base. If you want that insulated, and 117 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: you know, if water is a problem, then probably more 118 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: like an ever dry waterproofing would be the place to call. 119 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: But I would probably call, you know, USA Insulation see 120 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: what they can do for you in terms of the 121 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: rim choice and putting some foam in there. That would 122 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: make a big difference, thank you. 123 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 2: And for the floor, like the builder left behind, I 124 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: guess the extra planks in the top. 125 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 4: Okay, so so somebody would be able to yes, So 126 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 4: your choice, your choice would be to wait it out 127 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 4: and see if it goes down, or if you got 128 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 4: the extra planks, just go ahead. 129 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: And get them replaced. 130 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: Yess okay, one more question? Thank you? Do you do 131 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 2: like consulting? Like? 132 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: This is it? This is it at this point, just 133 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: the show. 134 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: Darn okay, thank. 135 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: You all right, Jans, thank you.

There's so much out there 158 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: in patio furniture. My head's swimming. 159 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 4: You know. 160 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 3: I've been in the business thirty three years, and like 161 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 3: I like to tell people and that thirty three years, Gary, 162 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 3: I've sold over one hundred dollars of outdoor furniture.

So the decorators have us go 365 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,479 Speaker 5: out to and it's we have a good partnership with 366 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 5: with a lot of people, and it keeps us busy, 367 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 5: and we make them happy and and they make us happy, 368 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 5: and it's all that's a it's a good thing. 369 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: So, you know, working with decorators and being in the 370 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: window treatment shades business and uh, you gotta you've got 371 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: to have seen a lot of trends come and go 372 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: what do we have? That's what do you see? That's 373 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: kind of hot right now? 374 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 5: Well, the motorization is really incredible. Now I've talked about 375 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 5: this before, but you when we started early on, we 376 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 5: started nineteen ninety four, but motorization was kind of archaic. 377 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 5: It was you did it as a necessity, but they're 378 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 5: the window you couldn't reach. You would do it and 379 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 5: hope you have to have your electrician pre wire, and 380 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 5: it was just a mess. And the motors quite frankly, 381 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 5: weren't the greatest technology back then. Well now they're battery operated, 382 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 5: but not battery per se like double A batteries. It's 383 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,959 Speaker 5: like a battery like your cell phone. So it's a 384 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 5: tube that's in the head rail that's not seen. And 385 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 5: you we bring them out fully charged to get about 386 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 5: eight months to a year of normal working of the blind. 387 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 5: And after about eight months to a year, you have 388 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 5: to recharge it and we give you these charges. You 389 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 5: plug it in just like your cell phone and charge 390 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 5: it overnight and then you get another eight months to 391 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 5: a year. And what I've been told now I can't 392 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 5: prove this, but you get five hundred charges per moter. 393 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 5: So I'll be long gone before the motors go. But 394 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,959 Speaker 5: then they have things now theere where you can they 395 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 5: have apps where you can use it on your cell 396 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 5: phone or we can integrate it into your smart system. 397 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 5: And my son just did a huge job down downtown 398 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 5: and I think it was the old Crew tower. There 399 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 5: was a whole floor like I think like seventy motorized shades, 400 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 5: and what they loved it was this business. I will 401 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 5: not mention names or anything, but the cool thing is 402 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 5: we could instead of giving everybody a remote freach shade, 403 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 5: they could just put the app on each one of 404 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 5: the employee's phones so they could work their own shade 405 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 5: right off their phone. That's kind of kind of cool. 406 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: That is cool. That is cool. Well, we got to 407 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: talk about the allured transitional shades, and we got to 408 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: talk about because that's what I got from you. I 409 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: don't know how many years ago now, it's got to 410 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: be eight years at least. 411 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 5: Yeah, we've known each I've been meeting with you for 412 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 5: a while and uh yeah, I came out and you 413 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 5: guys were the easiest sail ever. I think you were 414 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 5: going to do a couple of windows and then ended 415 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 5: up doing the whole house. 416 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: But which was, as I explained to you, that never happens. 417 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: It really doesn't happen, all right. 418 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 5: Your life was so sweet. You guys were so easy. 419 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 5: I mean, and I'm glad you know you love what 420 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 5: you got. But the thing is with these get like 421 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 5: I don't I don't consider myself a good salesman. But 422 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 5: when you sell something that you believe in, you know 423 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 5: it's gonna work, it's gonna be great. It's just like 424 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 5: telling somebody a great restaurant, Like if you're a great 425 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 5: feet you're like, oh, you got to go try this place. 426 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 5: I have these blinds in my house, my son's has 427 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 5: them in his house. My business partner has them in 428 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 5: his house. So they they work great. You don't have 429 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 5: to dust them right, and you just get a lot 430 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 5: of advantages. I like that, you know, the beautiful but functional. 431 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: Yeah.

I knowing you were going to be on, 433 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, I'm just going to walk 434 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: around and see colon look at the shades up close 435 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: and personal, and I and I and I did, And 436 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: then you can describe what that shade is because I 437 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: have a hard time describing it. Yeah. 438 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 5: So it's two sheets of material, does it? They kind 439 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,719 Speaker 5: of slide behind each other, so there's a like a 440 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 5: semi pick a stripe and then a sheer stripe. And 441 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 5: when the sheer stripes aligne you it's kind of a 442 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 5: stripe look that you can see out of. But then 443 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 5: when you put the more some pick parts together, you 444 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 5: get total privacy and then they go completely up out 445 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 5: of the way.

I don't know we've always had, yeah, 620 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: the battle of the mice in this house. Maybe if 621 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,800 Speaker 1: I look back at twenty six years we've been here, 622 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: we've had three, maybe four, but I think it's three episodes. 623 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: One was when we were changing out the floor in 624 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,320 Speaker 1: the kitchen, and of course we had the girl Odd's 625 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: door open, and the door going into the kitchen was 626 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,359 Speaker 1: open a bunch and I guess a mouse or two 627 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: got in and it took us a week or so 628 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: to get that taken care of. When we first moved 629 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: in in construction, I guess some mouse mice got in. 630 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: And you know, we saw that right away the first 631 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: year and got rid of that. But then we got 632 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: them in about two weeks ago. I don't know where 633 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: they got in. It's been cold, it's been snowy, it's 634 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: been in other words, you're not really looking and paying 635 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: attention to what's going on. And I'm still not sure 636 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: I've found out how they're getting in. So this is 637 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: really the first mystery mice. And and he doesn't show up. 638 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: The other ones were always they showed up every night, 639 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: usually in the pantry instead of trap. We'd get one 640 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 1: or two and that'd be the end of the problem. 641 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: Nothing big. This one, we saw remnants that there was 642 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: a mouse in the pantry, but we never saw the mouse. 643 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: We put up traps, didn't catch a mouse about I 644 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: don't know. A week ago. After trying for about ten days, 645 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: we caught the first mouse. Yeah, and U two days ago, 646 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 1: three days ago we caught mouse number two. I think 647 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: we're still I think they're still a mouse here. I'm 648 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: not sure. So I went outside. I went outside because 649 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: Sue had pulled the dryer away in the laundering room. 650 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: So I think I found your problem. She's like the 651 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 1: mouse center. I said, what do you mean you found 652 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 1: the problem? I look, she is, well, look at the 653 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: dryer vent, and yeah, the dryer vent goes in through 654 00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: the drywall and then through the goes the vent and 655 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 1: around the drywall and the pipe, there is a gap 656 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: that probably at least a width of my index finger. 657 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: So there's a sizeable Yeah, pretty good gap. Yeah, pretty 658 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: good gap. So I said, well, we're gonna and then 659 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 1: I went outside and looked, and the dryer vent was 660 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: not really tightly calked against the brick. It was screwed 661 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: into the brick, but there was a gap that I 662 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:30,439 Speaker 1: believe a mouse could have got into. And we think 663 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: that's where it was Danny, because there's some mouse droppings 664 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: behind the dryer. There's some little balls of insulation where 665 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: maybe he was getting in from that outside, tearing out 666 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: the insulation, making his way to the launder room. Yes, 667 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: he wasn't doing the laundry. And so you know in 668 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:56,240 Speaker 1: the inside a stuffed steel wool around the around the pipe, 669 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: calked a little put some drywall tape. Anyway, I finished 670 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: that off. Looked very nice, thank you, And I went 671 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: outside and I talked around the dryer vent and sealed 672 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: that all up. So that's been three days. I think 673 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 1: I've seen I don't know. I don't really knock on wood, 674 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: got them or not. I just don't know, but I guess, 675 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 1: like they say, this story is to be continued. So 676 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: we got the yelstrap still set. My point being is 677 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 1: when I'm talking and I talk about it a lot, 678 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: and I do it quite a bit, and that is 679 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: looking for issues on the outside of the house. And 680 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: then tomorrow show, I know I've got a whole long 681 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: list because there was other things I saw, and I 682 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: hope you're kind of doing the same thing, and that 683 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 1: is walking around that house looking for its vulnerabilities. I 684 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: told you last week I saw a lot of critter 685 00:39:55,360 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: control companies in the neighborhood, which I do not want 686 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 1: want knock on wood, and I don't know if it 687 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 1: was squirrels or what it was, but saw a lot 688 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: of creder control trucks and ladders on houses and just 689 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 1: looking where the gutters are in the facis and stuff 690 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: that's an entry way for wildlife. Ridge vents entryway for wildlife, 691 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 1: and apparently dryer vents are an entryway to wildlife. Even 692 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: though it is the mouse, And for years after that 693 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 1: first one, I did use a mouse magic, which was 694 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 1: essential oils in kind of like a saldust and a 695 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,280 Speaker 1: little burlop bag. And I didn't have mice in the pantry, 696 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 1: but then again I might have had the house sealed 697 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 1: up like it's supposed to be. Point being, you're not. 698 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 1: Everybody is vulnerable, and that walk around the house is 699 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 1: critically important. Really, I like to say, if it doesn't 700 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 1: look right, it's not right, and don't put it off, 701 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 1: get it fixed. Oh thank you very much for your 702 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: health today, and I certainly appreciate it, and for folks listening, 703 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,360 Speaker 1: thank you for joining us, and a good Lord willing. 704 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,319 Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow morning at nine for more at 705 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: Home with Gary Sullivan.
