Speaker 1: last week. Used it on the hardwood floors. See if

14
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: my wife's listening, she'll hear me say I used it

15
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: on the floor and I didn't use it on the

16
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: floor sea. I feel guilty right away. She used it

17
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: on the floor very particular, and she was showing me

18
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: all the dirt to chi got off and they'd just

19
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: been finished about a year ago. No waxes and no oils,

20
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: just a pH neutral cleaner and it did do a

21
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: great job, so g so my knees don't allow me

22
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: to get on the floor anymore. Not that I did

23
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: it on a regular basis or anything, but just want

24
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: to give credit where credit is due. All right, let

25
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: me give you the phone number. It's eight hundred. I'm

26
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: trying to get out of trouble before I really get

27
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: into trouble, Danny. It's eight hundred eight two three eight

28
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: two five five, and certainly happy to take your calls.

29
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: One of the things I was just thinking about what

30
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: to talk about today, and it always kind of depend

31
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: on you to take the show wherever you'd like to

32
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: take it with the questions you may be having around

33
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: your home. But one of the things we're going to

34
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: work on today is not necessarily redoing the kitchen, just

35
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 1: kind of clean it up, giving a little better look.

36
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: Maybe it is just cleaning that glass top stove before

37
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: the holidays, and maybe it's taking a look at the

38
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:42,559
Speaker 1: kitchen cabinets, refinishing them, maybe just cleaning them, maybe rejuvenating.

39
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: So we'll get some tips on that as we work

40
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: our way through the weekend. And you know, as you uh,

41
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, if you start getting kind of finicky

42
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: of things are knee inside of the house. We're saying

43
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: to start spending more time indoors in many parts of

44
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: the country. Uh. And we're going to have our first

45
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: cold snap here in about twenty four hours, and I'm

46
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: sure we won't be alone. We were based out of

47
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: the Midwest, so we'll get our fair share of cold weather.

48
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: And it's coming. And as I was walking around the

49
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: house yesterday just kind of looking at things that might

50
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: be a little out of kilter, I found the down

51
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: spout where it wasn't lining up to the pipe under

52
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: the ground. And that's a big deal. It doesn't look

53
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: like anything. I mean, it doesn't look like a big

54
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: deal at all. It's behind some bushes. I happen to

55
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: be just blowing the leaves out of the landscaping beds. Huh.

56
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: Thing's not lined up. And of course it's as bad

57
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: as claw gutters, quite honestly, because as it rains and

58
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: it goes down the roof and into the gutters and

59
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: it flows down the down spout. If the pipe going underground,

60
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: is it lined up with a down spout, bingo, you

61
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: got it. It's right on the foundation. Causes hydrostatic pressure,

62
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: not good for the foundation. And sometimes you wind up

63
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: with a wet basement, so let's talk about that. It's

64
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: eight hundred eighty two three eight two five five, and Jim,

65
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: you lead us off today. Welcome.

66
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: I good Sunday morning to you, sir.

67
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, thank you.

68
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: I was. I got me a new refrigerator or two

69
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: letter job. It's not the same brand as yours, is okay,

70
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: and it's making it's making funny noises, and sometimes the freezer.

71
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: The freezers had ice all over it in the bottom.

72
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 2: And when I first got it was nicely. It ran

73
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: nice and quiet the first three or four days, and

74
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: then I heard scratching down on the floor behind it.

75
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 2: It sounded like a small mouse or a small rat.

76
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: And that lasted about two or three minutes. And I

77
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: haven't heard that always since. And uh Im, and I

78
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: was just curious if you got about the same thing.

79
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: I know you've got a different two letter model than

80
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: mine is.

81
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, well I'm still I'm still fighting my battle, Jim.

82
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: My refrigerator is only a year and a half old.

83
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: And I had two service calls when was during warranty,

84
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: which never makes anybody happy. And then when I started

85
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: having problems is it wasn't really cooling to a degree.

86
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't making ice real well. And I came out

87
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: and replaced the ice maker, and then after it got

88
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: out a warranty. Luckily, I never bought an extended warranty

89
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: in my life, but I did on this one because

90
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 1: I just had a bad feeling.

91
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: I did the same thing. I got one. I got

92
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: one year on it and uh, like I said, I

93
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 2: got there for five year morning I pay for it.

94
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what mine was I had. I had to

95
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: repair people with the warranty out again this week and

96
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: my my fan sounded like found It sounded like a

97
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: propeller on a plane that was hitting the wall. That's

98
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: how loud it was.

99
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: And I even take, I even taken't like a well man,

100
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: And this thing was loud and it wasn't cool and

101
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: it had all it really did feel like it had

102
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: all kinds of problems.

103
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: With the service guy. It was the second trip to

104
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: the house in two weeks, and finally he took off

105
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: the covers and opened up and he goes and it

106
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: looked like a glacier was behind there. So it's the

107
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: heater that wasn't defrosting. Properly. It was the water where

108
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: it was draining out. That pan wasn't in there where

109
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: there was fall to the drain, so it was collecting water,

110
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: it was freezing, and so they actually ordered four parts

111
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: and they're supposed to come Thursday and get it all

112
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: taken care of. But he said, not only was that

113
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: fan hitting ice after we thowed some of that ice,

114
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: that pan was bent and that fan blade was actually

115
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: not only hitting the ice, but it was also hitting

116
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: the side of the cover of the back of the refrigerator.

117
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: So it had some big issues. I'm far from an

118
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: appliance repair person, but hopefully we get that all straighten

119
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: out on Thursday.

120
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: I get a little bit of a fan always on

121
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: mine back in the back every now and anybody's kind

122
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: of like, I don't know, it's real light. It's sometimes

123
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: that fan makes and always back there, and sometimes it doesn't.

124
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well so was mine mine would I don't know

125
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: if it'd get jammed, but it get very quiet sometimes.

126
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: It just it had several issues where it just wasn't

127
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: allowed to work right. So, like I said, hopefully we

128
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: get that, you know, that defroster where we can move

129
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: the air between the freezer and the refrigerator compartment and

130
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: the fans not hitting, you know, the cage and the

131
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: ice is melted and then we'll be in good shape.

132
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: But it was interesting. I did a little research on

133
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: the unit itself before I even called the repair people,

134
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: and everything it pinpointed turned out to be exactly what

135
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: it was was. You know, they were talking about the

136
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: heater on that particular model. I've had some problems with it.

137
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: It's just amazing to me the amount of information you

138
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: can pick up online now, even without knowing much about appliances.

139
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: Quite honestly, that.

140
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: Thing I like about mine. Thing I like about mine

141
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: the best is it saved me almost four hundred and

142
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: fifty dollars a month on electric or four hundred and

143
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: fifty killowats a month on electric. Right, I've been reading

144
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: my media every day, right, and it's saved me. I

145
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: had a thirty five year old and maney in there

146
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 2: and it's been a nice one. But I kept with

147
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: that electric builders nothing running in the house, but nothing

148
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: hardly at all. Yeah, bun coffee pot and that was it.

149
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 2: And I was paying almost two hundred dollars months.

150
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you my refriger is saving me a

151
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: lot of money right now because it's not even working.

152
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: I feel for you, brother, I feel you all night.

153
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: Jim, Well, thank you so much. Have a great weekend.

00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,280

203
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 5: Good morning Gary, How are you going? Well, I'm not

204
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 5: gonna work on it today. It's a little rainy, but anyway,

205
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 5: I have a I have an older house. The trees

206
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 5: look pretty though. I have an older house, a center

207
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 5: block foundation. It's pretty stable. I got a few little.

208
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 6: Hairline not hairline cracks, hair steps cracks here and there

209
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 6: that I've cocked over over the years. But it's a

210
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 6: stable you know. I don't have anything shifting or anything

211
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 6: like that, but the foundation has been painting. It is

212
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 6: mostly above ground, okay, foundations on the hill side, so,

213
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 6: but I'm it's been painted over the years. I want

214
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 6: to think I'm thinking about putting something like a rhino

215
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 6: shield or a ry type of product on there that

216
00:12:54,679 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 6: would basically seal that up better than cinder blocks. But

217
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 6: I'm not sure I could do that, you know, with

218
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 6: like that type of product.

219
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: Well you could. You could a runner shield of work

220
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: on wood, it'll work on block, it'll work on metal siding,

221
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: it'll work on bricks. So that's certainly an option. Are

222
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: you looking for somebody to do this for you or

223
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: are you looking for something as a do it yourself

224
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: project or kind of like where's the budget?

225
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 5: Well, I'd probably do it myself.

226
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 6: I'm fairly handy, Okay. I guess the biggest thing would

227
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 6: probably be taking off that old paint, several layers of

228
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 6: paint that's been on there.

229
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 5: I assume that has to be pretty clean.

230
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, The first thing every direction says on every

231
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: can of paint is pretty much addressing what's already on there,

232
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: and quite honestly, not only just cleaning but removing as

233
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: much of it as you can. Uh So what's on

234
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: there now? Is it like regular house paint will or

235
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: what's on.

236
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 5: It was some type of you know, like a concrete

237
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 5: paint that was you know, tinted in the master house,

238
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 5: you know, so it was actually a concrete I don't know,

239
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 5: you know, I don't know. I don't think it's oil,

240
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 5: but it's probably know, some type of good quality paint. Okay.

241
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: So, so is this issue cosmetic more than anything at

242
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: this point?

243
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 5: Well, it is cosmetic because it said of paint is

244
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 5: now it's diesel pink. It's probably thirty twenty five years old,

245
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 5: and I've touched it up a little spots here and there. Okay,

246
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 5: but it is it is probably twenty five to thirty

247
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 5: years old.

248
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 6: Okay, But I'm thinking the rhino shield will steal the

249
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 6: foundation a little bit better.

250
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 5: You know, That's.

251
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: What my thoughts are, right right, you know what I'm saying, Well,

252
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: you know what I would do then if rhino shield

253
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: is not a do it yourself project, it's it's applied.

254
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: So what I would do, if that's kind of what

255
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: you have in mind, is I would get them out

256
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: there and let them take a look at it and

257
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: see what that cost is and what you know, what

258
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: they're going to have to do. I know they use

259
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: a specific primer and stuff, so they may be able

260
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: to just use the primer and then do the rhino

261
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: shield over that. But I can't say, you know without

262
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: seeing it. So why don't you put that on your

263
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: list to go ahead and get that estimate and then

264
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: in the meantime I can give you some other things.

265
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: If if the finish is just tired looking and it's

266
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: not really peeling, and it's not you know, it's kind

267
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: of there and faded and just tired looking, there's a

268
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: there's a number of products you could put on there.

269
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: From a regular like Emerald Sherwin Williams Exterior flat house paint,

270
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: which you'll give you serviceable pigment on that surface for

271
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: probably ten to fifteen years. There is a product like

272
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: dry Lock, which is a masonry paint which holds back

273
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: water vapor. I will say that if you use that

274
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: product to get the full benefits of that concrete water repellency,

275
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: that you would have to remove the existing product, so

276
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: that would be your masonry waterproofing paint. Then there's one

277
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: decorative coatings that are kind of almost looks like a corean.

278
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: You may have heard me talk about a product called

279
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: roller Rock. It's a very decorative coating, comes in probably

280
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: eight different color patterns. It's a thick coating. It could

281
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: probably go over that existing coating. Again, if it's just

282
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: faded and tightly adhered to the existing substrate, it'd probably

283
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: just be a matter of cleaning it and put two

284
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: coats of the roller Rock on. So there's three quick

285
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: do it yourself coatings you could use, and then in

286
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: the meantime you'll have your quote on your rhino shield

287
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: and then we can probably have a little little further

288
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: discussion or you know, weighing the benefits and the cost

289
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: might give you your answer.

290
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is. It is feeling in several places. So

291
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 5: I'd probably take a powwasher and might be power worship

292
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 5: not in a real thick but you know to knock

293
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 5: it off or a wire brush on a pold Okay,

294
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 5: And it is a want It matches the house, which

295
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 5: is an almond so it's an almond color and that's

296
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 5: what the sighting is. Okay, So it blames pretty well.

297
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 5: So can you tint like dry lock any of those things.

298
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: You can sure, sure, so the roller rock will put

299
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: that off to the side. They do have an almond one,

300
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: but it has like I said, it's not like a

301
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: flat color like house pain. It's got some pattern. But yes,

302
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: you can. The dry lock can be tinted. Absolutely. The

303
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: people in the paint store a hardware store may not

304
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: know that, but here's the little secret. They all have

305
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 1: their mixing tints, and they all have their formula books.

306
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: And when you mix it into the dry lock, which

307
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: is not a base it's a white masonry paint, you

308
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: mix it at half strength and you'll come very very

309
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: close to their color books. So yes, you can mix

330
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: a perfect juice car, except it reached from the smell

331
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: of smoke. I scrubbed, I sprayed, I even left windows

332
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: open for days, and nothing got rid of that smell.

333
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: Then I found odor Exit AQM Air Quality Manager, a

Speaker 1: small packet and the smell was gone overnight, not covered, eliminated,

Speaker 1: All right, back to work, we go at home with

369
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: Gary Salvin. Just listen to a commercial on chimneys and fireplaces.

370
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: We had a call yesterday and this is it was

371
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: a really good call. It was one I guess maybe

372
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: some of us have that we don't really pay attention

373
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: and we don't know we have it. First of all,

374
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: rule of thumb, I'm professionally inspecting and chimneying of a fireplaces.

375
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: If you burn a cord of wood, you should have

376
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: it inspecting clean annually. Outside of that every two years.

377
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: And this person called and talked about seeing an efflorescence.

378
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: What is efflorescence? That fluorescence is a chalky, salty crystal

379
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: that is usually on the surface of a cementatious product

380
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: or substrate. So the brick, the mortar, maybe if you

381
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: have block on the inside of the chimney, that crystallization

382
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: and beyond that, and it's caused by water reacting with

383
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: lime and salts in the masonry surface. And you might

384
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: be thinking, big deal, you know, big deal. You know

385
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 1: it's the block of the chimney that's in the attic

386
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: or something, who cares, or it's outside. Man, it doesn't

387
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: look real good. But really it's a little bit of

388
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: a red flag that you should dig a little deeper,

389
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: especially if you're using that fireplace. I have said for years,

390
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: and I think you'll agree with me, is water is

391
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: the number one enemy in your home, even if it's

392
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: just a little efflorescence on this. So for the brick,

393
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: and yeah, you can go to the hardware store. You

394
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: can pick up an effluorescence cleaner. You can clean it

395
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: off and you'll say, well, that wasn't a big deal.

396
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: It'll come back, you'll clean it again. Still not a

397
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: big deal. But really, what it's you know, I always say,

398
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: dig down to the root. Why why is this going on? Well, Garry,

399
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: it's outside that chimney's you know, you say water, it's

400
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: getting wet, it's got a fluorescence on it. True, But

401
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: maybe that water is going inside the chimney, going between

402
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: the liner and the brick. Maybe it is on the

403
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: brick and it really needs to be waterproofed. And I

404
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: didn't say sealed. I said waterproof because you wanted to

405
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: minimize the penetration of the water into the brick, but

406
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: you also wanted to breathe in a exhaust moisture out.

407
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be difficult. I'm just trying to

408
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: show you what else it could be. This is the

409
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: cause at the top of that chimney. I always talk

410
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: about a concrete pad, it's called a crown wash. The

411
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: flu's going up through that like a sidewalk or a driveway.

412
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: Concrete over time will crack. Maybe water's getting down in

413
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: that crack. Maybe it's a bigger problem. Maybe there's a

414
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: gap between the crown wash and the flu and if

415
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: water gets down in between that and then goes through

416
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: free stall cycles, maybe we end up with a crack liner,

417
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: which is an expensive repair. But digging down and there's

418
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: so many really, really really good reasons to have a

419
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: chimney inspected and cleaned, and yesterday we even got into

420
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: different degrees of crew so how some are very easily remedied.

421
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: Others look like a black porcelain, that's how glazed it is,

422
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 1: and it can catch fire and it could crack a liner.

423
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: So I bring this up because probably people listening right now,

424
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: you may have some people that have just bought the

425
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: house and have not had it inspected, and you get

426
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: to the holidays, and who doesn't want a nice cozy

427
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: fire in the fireplace. Don't do that until you've had

428
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: it inspected, or maybe you've lived in that house and

429
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: you burn wood occasionally. It's been ten years since anybody

430
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: took a look at that fireplace. Yeah, I wouldn't use

431
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: it until you really know it's usable, that it's in

432
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: good repair, because you're you're really not going to see

433
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: where the problem is. It Maybe up in that chimney,

434
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: it may have a crack liner and there may be

435
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: really third degree kreisode on there, and if that catches fire,

436
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: your house is vulnerable. Not trying to scare it, just

437
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: trying to tell you when things need maintenance. It's easy

438
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: when you know your snowblower needs maintenance because it won't

439
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: start you can't see some other things that need maintenance,

440
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: or a drain pipe that no longer drains. You got

441
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: to do something then, But with a chimney, maybe you

442
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: just can't tell. That's why you need to have it inspected.

443
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: All right. Our phone numbers eight hundred eight two three

444
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: eight two five five. Kevin, welcome, Hi.

445
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 7: Gary, love your show. You help me out all the time.

446
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:46,959
Speaker 1: Thank you.

447
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 7: I have a water heater left your water heater, and

448
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 7: every time I try to drain it is get the

449
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 7: hardness out of it. It seems to take a day

450
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 7: from the water to come out of this tang.

451
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 2: I just can't figure.

452
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 7: Out what it is I'm doing wrong.

453
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 5: It just doesn't drain out in an hour mm hmm.

454
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: And so you're shutting off all the valves and doing

455
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: all that and it's just not coming out of the

456
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: bottom drain very fast? Correct?

457
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 5: Correct?

458
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: All right? You know one of the cheapest valves made

459
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: are usually on everybody's water heater. I mean they're terrible.

460
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: They're they're usually made it like nylon plastic. And what

461
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: I would do is my guess is, Kevin, is a

462
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: lot of the hard water deposits and this is actually

463
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: kind of a common complaint. As you're draining it to

464
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: get rid of the hard water deposits, those hard water

465
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: deposits start clogging up that that that pipe or that valve,

466
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: and it starts it impedes to flow water, so it's

467
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: a trickle whereas it should come out like a lawn faucet,

468
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: and it's not because there's so much debris in there.

469
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 1: So what I would do, Kevin, is go ahead and

470
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: let drain for all day or a half a day.

471
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: Let's get all that water out of there, and let's

472
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: take that valve off and get yourself a nice brass

473
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: stainless steel ball valve and just with a lever handle

474
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: and open that up, maybe even turn the water on,

475
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: flush that thing out the best we can. Kind of

476
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: try to start over, if you will, and I think

477
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: you'll find the drainage mechanism is going to be a

478
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: lot better on a ball valve because what a ball

479
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,719
Speaker 1: valve does is it's a round ball. But when you

480
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: turn it in an open position, that whole size is

481
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: the size of the pipe. So water, even when there's

482
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: more sediment in there, flows easier than the type of

483
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: valve they put on those water heres.

484
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 2: Great job.

485
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 5: What I need to do.

486
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 7: Gary, I appreciate it.

487
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: All right, Kevin, thank you, take care, bye bye. All right,

488
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: let me give you that phone number once again. It's

489
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. Those

490
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: lines are open, And that always opens up the question,

491
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Do I need to drain that water heater

492
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: every year? And that's always a trick question for me

493
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: to answer. If you just bought the water heater or

494
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: just had that water here installed in the last year,

495
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: my answer is, yes, yeah, drain it. Go ahead, flush

496
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: that out. That'd be good. If you haven't done it

497
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: for eight years. Should I drain that water here? My

498
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:54,239
Speaker 1: quick answer is probably not. The sentiment that's built up

499
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: in that water heater may be holding that water heater together.

500
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: Now it's like a rock, you know the old adages. Uh.

501
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: You know, it takes one person to get a new

502
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: water heater down in your basement. It takes two or

503
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: three people to get the old one out because it's

504
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: full of sediment. There's a rock at the bottom of

505
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: that and so it's very heavy. And you know, if

506
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: you want to take if you got an older one

507
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: and you want to just maybe drain two or three

508
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: gowns off it. See if it's clean, See if it's clear.

509
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: I think that'd be it. Taking all of it down though,

510
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: I just don't think I would do that. But it's

511
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: costing you more, and you got to remember that too.

512
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it. If half that well, that's

513
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: that might be an exaggeration. Let's say twenty percent of

514
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: that tank has got calcium carbonate rock in the base

515
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: of that thing, and you're heating it either with electricity

516
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: propane gas. You gotta heat that rock up first, all right,

517
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of times to let you know that

518
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of sediment in there. You seem to

519
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: be running out of water faster because it's doesn't hold

520
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: as much water. So again rule Tom, Yeah, clean it

521
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: every year. Unless it's an older water heater, then I'd

522
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: say big caution there. Maybe drain off a couple two

523
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: three gowns and be done with it, or you can

524
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: get yourself in trouble. All right, Well, take a break

525
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,640

574
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 9: I have an issue with Boston ivy. Okay, Hi, I'm

575
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 9: trying to powerwash my house and the Boston ivy has

576
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 9: left these little sticky feet all over the sidings. Is

577
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 9: there any solution that can kind of dissolve it or

578
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 9: help it come off?

579
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: It's called time time. I don't know of anything including

580
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: And first of all, I've had this call off and

581
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: on for years, and I had the problem myself on

582
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: my very first home. I had English ivy all over

583
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: the side. Tore it off. It was starting to get

584
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: a little obtrusive, getting underneath metal sighting and everything else,

585
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: and I pulled it off and that started my search

586
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: my quest on how to remove the roots of that

587
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: ivy off brick. And there is nothing, and you cannot

588
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: use things like a wire wheel or a wire brush er.

589
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: You know, if it's on brick, you would certainly do

590
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: damage to that. The craziest thing is Tina and I say, truthfully, time,

591
00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 1: what will happen is those roots that would that woody

592
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:06,720
Speaker 1: material will dehydrate and literally you'll be able to sweep

593
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: it off.

594
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 9: That's kind of what I thought. I'd have to just

595
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 9: kill it off and let it fall off.

596
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and boy, I have over the years. I've tried

597
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: all kinds of things and had one person say, well,

598
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: get a propane torch and burn it off, and I thought,

599
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: I'm not trying that. But eventually, you know, it's about

600
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: eighteen months it would be dehydrated. I remember one day,

601
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: it's crazy. I went out with a woody street broom

602
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: and just started no cleaner, no nothing, and it just

603
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: started raining like leaves in the fall. It just started

604
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: taking it right off. It was no big deal, but

605
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: it's a big deal right now. So I think I

606
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 1: would recommend trying to live with it. I've had people

607
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: that actually painted a brick wall to hide it. Don't

608
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: do that unless you want it painted brick, But you know,

609
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: because it will still dehydrate and it probably caused a

610
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: paint peel.

611
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, Well, it's it's on brick, and it's on vinyl

612
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 9: siding too. I mean, it just sticks to everything right right.

613
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 9: I didn't know if there was anything that would take

614
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 9: it off or not.

615
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: I have found nothing. And if somebody has truly found

616
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: an answer for that, they can certainly share it. But

617
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: I think that the best solution, quite honestly, is time.

618
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 9: Okay, is there anything that kills the ivy?

619
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: Yes, there's a lot of vegetation killers out on the

620
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: market that will take care of it. Now that whole

621
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: game has changed a little bit, so you'll have to

622
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,479
Speaker 1: read labels. I mean, with the roundup issues that it had,

623
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: they have different types of roundup and and it's a

624
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: vegetation killer that can be used on IVY and even

625
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: poison ivy, and it will you know, if it's still growing.

626
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: It would take repeated applications. But you know when I

627
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: did it, I just literally manually. I was young, then

628
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 1: manally just pulled it off the house the English ivy

629
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: cut it up and then dug the roots out and

630
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 1: all that. But you can use a vegetation killer for sure.

631
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 9: I'm afraid if I start pulling it off the house,

632
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 9: it's going to take the vinyl siding off.

633
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, I'm still thinking about mine, which

634
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: was on brick only. But that's a good concern. I mean,

635
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: that is a good concern. If it's got something to

636
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: grip to and it's growing underneath there, I think I

637
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: would probably cut that, you know, even with a pruning

638
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: pair of pruning scissors or something along those lines, and

639
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: then work on the ivy beneath. And of course, one

640
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: you have cut off the food and moisture supply, that

641
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 1: will die.

642
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 9: Okay, that's awesome. Okay, well, thank you so much.

643
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: You're quite welcome, Tana. Have a good weekend, Take care,

644
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: bye bye. Yeah, that is a challenge. I did. I

645
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: remember all the things that I tried to do. I've

646
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 1: even even tried, like a in an inconspicuous area, which

647
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, using like a

648
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: sanding sponge, trying to sand that out. You're just not

649
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: gonna as long as that thing is gripped into there.

650
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: I just you know, you don't want to use a

651
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: wire brush, you don't want to use a wire wheel.

652
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna you're going to compromise that brick, and you

653
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: run a potential of causing problems, but I said eighteen

654
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: months to two years. It's probably two years. It wasn't.

655
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't think less than that. And it was just

656
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: who knows how long it was like that before I tried.

657
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: But it came down to a point where just running

658
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: a stiff scrub brush or stiff street room across that,

659
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: no liquids, no nothing, that it literally just cleaned up beautifully.

660
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: And it was on the side of the house where

661
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: we didn't have to look at it every day. Might

662
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: be different if it's right next to the front door,

663
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: but it was easy to forget when it was on

664
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: the side of the house, so it wasn't a big

665
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: deal for us. But that ivy, there's two schools of

666
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: thought on that. Some people like it kind of a

667
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: natural radiant barrier for your home in the summertime. But

668
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, with those roots, it can do damage,

669
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: especially if the brick becomes or the mortar becomes soft

670
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: or cracked and the roots can get down into the

671
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: crevices of the mortar. You could end up with some

672
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: damage on that wall. So I'm kind of not real

673
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: pro about that. Some people like to look that's up

674
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: to you, but be careful what direction it can be

675
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: can cause some issues. Just like when we talk about

676
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: getting rid of molds and mildews on roofs. That's one

677
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 1: thing that's just stain. That's a little cosmetic. It's really

678
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: not doing a whole lot of damage of the roof.

679
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: But if you start having a moss grow on a

680
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: shingled roof, that can be a problem because it too

681
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: has roots, not as stout as an English ivy or

682
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: a Boston ivy, but it does have roots, and if

683
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: there's fractures as that asphalt shingle gets older and those

684
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: roots get down in there, it can cause damage to

685
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: some roots or some roof roofing tile and asphalt shingles

686
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: for sure. So I would recommend getting rid of that,

687
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: and even the mold and the mildew, which I think

688
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: is and sightly it's an airborne algae spore. It goes

689
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: from house to house and stains those roofs. New roofs

690
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: now have about a ten year warranty on it. They

691
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: got sometal middle fragments in the coatings of the shingles

692
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: which will prevent that for ten years, but after that

693
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: period you might have to clean the roof periodically. Simply

694
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 1: by spraying like a wet and forget onto the surface

695
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: and no scrubbing. You don't want to do that in

696
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: eliminating that same with the moss. It will take care

697
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: of moss. It may need a second application. All right.

698
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,440
