And by the way, 4 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: just for your information, this hours brought to you by 5 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: Wet and Forget. Soon we'll be talking about their outdoor projects. 6 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: But today let's talk about an indoor project. It's the 7 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: Wet and Forget weekly shower cleaner. You've heard me talk 8 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: about it. It's the ultimate no scrub shower cleaner. Spray 9 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: it on once a week. And this is not bleach 10 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: anything like that, so no odors do a great job. 11 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: Just probably once a week. It helps control you know, 12 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: hard water stains and molds and mildews and all that. 13 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: You can pick it up at Walmart, Home Depot, Low's, Amazon, 14 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: Tractor Supply and Target. Hey, what do you want to 15 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: talk about today? I got a whole list. One of 16 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: the things. I know, it's still very, very cold. It's 17 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: really shaping up. Is I don't know, I didn't pay 18 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: attention to records are analyzed, but each of the Mississippi 19 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: one of the chillier snowier winners than we've had in 20 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: the past. I don't know, forty to fifty years and 21 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: there's being colder ones. Don't get me wrong, but there's 22 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: been a lot going on out west, not as bad. 23 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: But I want to talk really a little bit today 24 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: as we weave around your phone calls, which you're more 25 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: than capable of grabbing that phone line and happy to 26 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: discuss what you'd be working on. But fireplace safety, we're 27 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: going to have a CSIA certified a chimney expert on 28 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: in the next hour. I think we all start getting 29 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: a little you know, if you're burning wood, we get 30 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: a little more, you get a little careless. I think 31 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: the more you burn, the more careless you get, maybe 32 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: even around the storage part of wood. So I want 33 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: to talk about that. I also want to talk about 34 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: if you have a garage or a area where you 35 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: store stuff and you park your car in, and if 36 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: you're parking your car in and you live in a 37 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: cold climate, you're probably bringing in salt and slush and gunk. 38 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: What are we going to do and how are we 39 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: going to clean that up? And is there anything we 40 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: can do to protect that concrete because that's a big expense, 41 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: So I want to cover that. Obviously, we'll talk about 42 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: insulation and ventilation very very important this year. And then 43 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: the other thing is your house making weird noises? And 44 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: I asked that question to folks that live in this 45 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: part of the country where maybe we have some really 46 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: really cold nights and maybe it's going to warm up 47 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: this week, or maybe some of the you know, up 48 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: in the attic, you got trusses and wood and joyce 49 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: and all this, and some's covered with insulation, some is not, 50 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: and there's a little battle going on with expansion and contraction, 51 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: and that very well could be noises. Or maybe the 52 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: noises in your house is gurgling from the drains. What's 53 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: going on there. We'll talk about that. Let me give 54 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: you the phone number. It's eight hundred eighty two three 55 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: eight two five five to hear from you. Let's go 56 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: to wolf Hill leave us off. 57 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: Welcome, sir, thank you very much for taking a call. 58 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: I stumbled on two things. One an outdoor woodstove vendor 59 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: or distributor, whoever you want to call it, who is incredible, 60 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 2: I mean, very very courteous, and I wanted to just 61 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 2: mention that. And then the second thing that I stumbled 62 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 2: upon was a I don't know what you call it. 63 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 3: It took the ice. 64 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 2: It dried the cement steps I had, so no ice 65 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 2: accumulated on it. And then after this big snowstorm here, 66 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: I was able to blow off some of it and 67 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: then brush off some of them with a broom. And 68 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: I'm trying to say this to you and share what 69 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: I found without it sounding like promotional. 70 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 3: You know what I mean? 71 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So what did you use on those steps? 72 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: Go now O g O n A n O v 73 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 2: A dot com is where I found it. 74 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 3: It was the website. 75 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. I just know that 76 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: it went into the step. This gonano v A dot 77 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: com was where I found it. And inside the step 78 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: they said it would get into capillaries of the cement 79 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 2: and other other. 80 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: Uh uh surfaces. 81 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: But this worked on removing, not allowing. 82 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 3: The ice to form on the cement. So so when 83 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 3: I went to get it off it, I had the 84 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 3: inches of snow It'll get me wrong, and I had 85 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: ice on top of it, but there was no au. 86 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: It was easy to remove, is what I'm trying to say. 87 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: Was this a liquid or was this a pellet or 88 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: it was a spray. 89 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: They put a spray down there. It was like like 90 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: a powerwasher guy came out and was just put a 91 00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 2: spray down and the spray uh. When I called company, 92 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 2: they said it was a hydro something hydro phobic, hydrophobic 93 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: a repelled the water so it didn't allow moisture to accumulate, 94 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: therefore no ice, you see what I mean? 95 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: Sure, sure, yeah, I'm not familiar with that. I know 96 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of products out there that do pre treating, 97 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: you know, where it minimizes the ice build up and 98 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: even the snow build up to a certain degree. But 99 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: this sounds like it's almost like a type of a 100 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: sealer that would penetrate into the capillaries. I know. 101 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 2: I went, I went, I went to a hardware and 102 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 2: a few other places, and they have seilers. But this 103 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: is not a sealer, something that goes in and in 104 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 2: the capillary of like a cement saying to take the 105 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: moisture out or maybe it prevents. All I know is 106 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: that they had it, had this one guy to come 107 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: out to install it. It's not over the counter. 108 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: Product, so it's a surface va dot com. 109 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: If you look it up, you can tell. 110 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: Me about it, all right, well, listeners, I mean. And 111 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 2: then the other question was on the outdoor outdoor. My 112 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: son's building a. 113 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 3: House outdoor woodstove. 114 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: The guy was in a really good guy heart something Heartstone. 115 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: I don't know now, I can't mess this up, but 116 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 2: the point is that the guy was very courteous and 117 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: he wasn't selling me anything. 118 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 3: He was showing me. 119 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 2: A tremendous amount of information on outdoor woodstove because it 120 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: avoids the home hazard. Of course, you know what I'm saying, 121 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 2: Like a lot of people here in the Shenando Valley 122 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 2: use it, and I see it everywhere, these outdoor woods stoves, 123 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 2: and I was very curious about it. Before my son 124 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 2: finishes the house. He has propane tanks, but I wanted 125 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: to give him alternative heat source. So if you could 126 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 2: talk about outdoor woodstoves, you know versus pellets and indoor 127 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: stove that kind of thing. Just to shit the information. 128 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of this guy's name that was 129 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 2: up in the oh. 130 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: Well, I know there is a company Heartstone, and I'll 131 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: look into that and I appreciate your call. Well, thank 132 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: you very much. The information regarding the concrete, I'm not 133 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: really sure what it is. I'll look it up after 134 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: the show and kind of become a little bit familiar 135 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: with it. And I know he said it's not a sealer, 136 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: and I'm sure it's not. But there are many, many 137 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: different types that concrete seilers. And one of the ones 138 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: I talk about obviously is a surface coating which gets 139 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: a sheene and that's not going to help you out. 140 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: But there are seilers that are penetrants. Just like you said, 141 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: concrete is hard, but it has capillaries. There's perosity to 142 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: that concrete, and those types of seilers that get into 143 00:08:54,040 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: the capillaries minimize the depth of water seats in the concrete. 144 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: I talk about it a lot being used more in 145 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: the spring and summer so that the concrete morning dew, 146 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: the concrete dries faster because that moisture can't get into 147 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: the concrete as deep. Not familiar with it as a 148 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: preventter of penetration that would keep it from forming ice. However, 149 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: a siliconized actually it's a tripolymer of silicone that would 150 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: be a penetrating siloxane sealer penetrates into the capillaries of 151 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: the concrete, minimizes water penetration. And I was talking about 152 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: preventing molds and mildews, but over the lifespan of that 153 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: on that concrete, which is about three years. It would 154 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: help with the moisture or the water build up also 155 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: on that surface. How that's applied or what it is 156 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: exactly this time of the year. Not familiar with that product, 157 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: but I will try to learn a little bit about it, 158 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: all right. Our phone numbers eight hundred, eight two three, 159 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: eight two five five.

You were talking with Scott, your co host, Yes, 230 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: and you were talking about boxwoods and I know a 231 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: lot of people that have had not great success with it. 232 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: And you were talking about, you know, trying to find 233 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: a plant that kind of looks like but can you 234 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: kind of walk us through that? Because I talked to 235 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: a lot of people also were the frustration level of 236 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: planning boxwoods maybe two and three times as a foundation 237 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: planning and not having success, and they're going like, what 238 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: should I do? Well? 239 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 5: You know, box would kind of got a you know, 240 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 5: there's there's a couple of insects's always bothered him. It's 241 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 5: no big deal, you can get right. And we had 242 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 5: that situation three or four years ago. We had that 243 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 5: cold snap and really did a number on box What 244 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 5: in other evergreens as well in boxwood, there's a lot 245 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 5: of them in the landscape, so we noticed it a 246 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 5: lot on the boxwood. Well, now all of a sudden, 247 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 5: we've got an insect that's coming along, came out of 248 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 5: Europe that is just devastating. When they come into an area, 249 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 5: they just do a number on boxwood. And so you 250 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 5: put all that together and people are like, I've always 251 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 5: liked boxwood because they grow anywhere and everywhere. They truly 252 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 5: are deer resistant. That's one plant that truly is. You know, 253 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 5: you can shape them any a shape or form, like 254 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 5: you know you used to do your Sullivan number letters 255 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 5: in front of your house and your boxwood. Of course 256 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 5: you could do all that stuff with them. They're so 257 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 5: you know, that's just the way the plant is. Well, 258 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 5: now all of a sudden, these things come along where 259 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 5: it's it literally is wiping them out. And so now 260 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 5: what is a substitute to have that same look, Well, 261 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 5: there isn't besides Japanese view that's the closest thing you 262 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 5: can get. There isn't any other boxwood like plant out there. 263 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 5: Japanese hollies maybe, But then you look at spy ree 264 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 5: as they lose their leaves in the winter time. You 265 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 5: look at some of the globearbvie. They don't stay like 266 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 5: you can't shear them like box would. So you know, 267 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 5: it's it's a tough one. So right now they're doing 268 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 5: a lot of research. 269 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say, somebody's working on that. 270 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 5: To come up with the new genetics on box wood 271 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 5: that's resistant to these some of these issues. So it's 272 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 5: just out there's not going away. It will for maybe 273 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 5: a little while, yeah, but it'll be back there. They're 274 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 5: working on plan. 275 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: I personally had given up on them, and and some 276 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: of it was my fault anyway, because when they were 277 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: planned it was and then a hot summer and probably 278 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: didn't keep enough moisture in the ground. That was some 279 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: of it. And then the cold snap, well that did 280 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: the newer plannings, not only last year. I said, that's it. Yeah, 281 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: and I got some Japanese shoes and planting them the 282 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: same way, kind of took care of them the same way, 283 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: and they look great. 284 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, they do. It's a great you know again, they 285 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 5: were always the staple in the landscape. Everybody got kind 286 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 5: of tired of me, and it became deer candy in 287 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 5: some areas, and then box would kind of stepped in. 288 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 5: And there was a time when I first started this industry, 289 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 5: boxwood wasn't even available. It was so expensive. Nobody could. 290 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 5: You couldn't find a planet. 291 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: Well, they still aren't that cheese. 292 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 5: Still aren't that cheap, but they're growing today. We can 293 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 5: produce them a lot faster, more varieties, a lot more 294 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 5: people growing them in nursery, so they're not as expensive 295 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 5: as they used to be, but in comparison to other plants. 296 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 5: But you know, so taxes was Japanese. You was the staple. 297 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 4: Uh. 298 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 5: And you know what's interesting, You aren't allowed to plant 299 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 5: Japanese use in some of the Western states because deer 300 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 5: who feed on them at elk and moose are toxic 301 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 5: to them in those states. 302 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: But were developed in the Midwest, were they. 303 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 5: Not, well Japanese you yeah, so not Japanese you not here, 304 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 5: So those those varieties not There is a native taxes 305 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 5: that grows on the west West coast and they actually 306 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,479 Speaker 5: look at that for medicinal purposes and other things. But 307 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 5: these particular selections can actually be toxic to the deer 308 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 5: on the west side of the United States, not the east. 309 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 5: That's kredit crazy. 310 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's regional. It's regional. You had a conversation 311 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: going on about bees, yes, And I had seen a 312 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: news story which was kind of frightening. It was with 313 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: agriculture out west and how many bees they've lost and 314 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: last year and now this year, and they were talking about, 315 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: you know, pollinators like you talk about all the time. 316 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: Is this gotten too a crisis standpoint or was this 317 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: a little. 318 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 5: Bit of last year that was just last year's when 319 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 5: they had the big one. It was like over a 320 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 5: million of these were lost and they were the bees 321 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 5: that be you know that folks, folks in Iowa places 322 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,959 Speaker 5: like that are raising to bring to California. Those are 323 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 5: all brought in and brought to California for the almond 324 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 5: trees and things like that. Come to find out they 325 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 5: went to bring them out, come to find out they 326 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 5: had been infested with a vera mite. Nobody had paid 327 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 5: attention to them. They lost all of those. Well, how 328 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 5: do you recoup millions of bees that you've lost? You 329 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 5: know that takes a couple of years to bring that 330 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 5: population back up. You have a natural loss anyway over 331 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 5: the winter time, so it's gonna take a few years 332 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 5: to bring those populations back up again. But those bees, 333 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 5: basically for all of those are brought in on semis 334 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 5: and then taken back to the East side of the 335 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 5: United States. 336 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, as usual, you are a fountain of knowledge and 337 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 1: I appreciate your time. 338 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 5: Always a pleasure, sir, Thank you, mister Wilson. 339 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: All right, take care.

Thank you, You're welcome. I've got a tile 389 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 6: floor that I found about fifteen years ago, and it's 390 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 6: an off white color. Over that time, drop iron pains 391 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 6: on it, hammers, wrenches, et cetera. And I've got chips 392 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 6: underneath the off like color. It's dark brown, so it 393 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 6: looks like I have food stains around the house. And 394 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 6: I'm wondering if there's a type of filler that I 395 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 6: can put in with a putty knife to you know, 396 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 6: fill in the hole. I'm almost to the point of 397 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 6: just bringing a piece of tile down to Low's or 398 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 6: home depot and getting a paint that matches the color. 399 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 6: But that's not going to fill in the dent. The 400 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 6: substrate is a slab. I'm on concrete anything you recommend. 401 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: So is this a like porcelain tile, is that what 402 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: it is? Or ceramic tile something like that. 403 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 6: Well, I reeve I've got the porcelain tile. I put 404 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 6: it down with a like a rubbery type of substance, 405 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 6: whereas in my bathroom I did the tile and that 406 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 6: was like a concrete based which I like that better. 407 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 6: So it's on a rubbery I don't know what you 408 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 6: call it. You know, well it comes in a tub 409 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 6: and you put it on with the you know, the 410 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 6: tool that makes like swirls, you know, and then you 411 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 6: put down the I don't like that. I use the 412 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 6: concrete based or similar to concrete in my bathroom, which 413 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 6: is going to lead me to my follow up question. 414 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 6: But I'm trying to a is there a product that. 415 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: I think I was just kind of thinking of exactly 416 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: what's going to work best? And there is different non 417 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: sementatious cement fillers or patchers. They usually come in a gallon, 418 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: which you don't need now. One of them is called 419 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: rock patch. That would be one option. It's more of 420 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: an acrylic resin type patcher. It's not sementatious, and that 421 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: would be good. However, when you first when you first 422 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: brought it up, I was kind of thinking, you know, 423 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: what would really work there? Good would be like an 424 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: epoxy in a POxy patch, and I'm not talking to 425 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: stuff that comes out of a tube or anything like that. 426 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: They have. There's one called PC seven. There's also I 427 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: think Duro makes a a resin and a hardener epoxy putty. 428 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: It's like a ribbon, so it's it's it's thick. You 429 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: cut equal amounts, mix it with a toothpick, and just 430 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: kind of move it in there, you know, and use 431 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: it as a patch. You can smooth it out. The 432 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: issue with that is you're gonna have to really tape 433 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: around that area that you're gonna patch because it's kind 434 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: of sticky and gooey. You know it's not, but it's thick. 435 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: It would do a great job, and you know, there'd 436 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: be a little preparation of course of cleaning the area. 437 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: Probably just use like an alcohol or acetone to clean 438 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: that and maybe a little piece of like a sanding 439 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: sponge of a medium grid, maybe even a fine grid. 440 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: Sometimes you can get a fine on one side, medium 441 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: on the other and just kind of rough that up 442 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: and then mix the epoxy. And I don't think you're 443 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: going to I think that's going to function as a filler, 444 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: not as a as a matching the tile color. Also, 445 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: and then really after you patch that, you might even 446 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: have to go back and work on smoothing it, maybe 447 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: even sanding it, or you're gonna have to make sure 448 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: you get it nice and smooth. That's what I'm saying. 449 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 1: Maybe one of those little utility a little bigger than 450 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: a dremal multipurpose tool is usually what it's called. It 451 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: get little standing attachments. You might be able to smooth 452 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: it with that, and well, then you're gonna get into 453 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: doing touch up paint, and you know, maybe going to 454 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 1: a floor store like a Florida Tile they may have 455 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: some grout touch up paint that matches. That would be 456 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: a that would be a good place to start. Rather 457 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 1: than just going and trying to get a quart of 458 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: paint matched and not have it be that durable. I 459 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: think I'd try to look for a grout touch up 460 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: or something along those lines. 461 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that that definitely sounds helpful, because not only 462 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 6: do I want to fill in the chip, you know, 463 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 6: to make it level with the rest of the floor, 464 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 6: but I do want to match or be very very 465 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 6: close because the brown on the off white is very obvious. 466 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 6: None of the chips are bigger than a dime, but 467 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 6: they're there, and you know you can't mop them up. 468 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: So I'm not trying to burst your bubble. I'm just 469 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: telling you it's gonna be tough. The filling. You know, 470 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: if they're that small, the filler might even be a 471 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: little challenging. But I think you can get it filled, 472 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: and I think you can get it lying smooth. Okay, 473 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,479 Speaker 1: it might take a little work, and again taping around 474 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: that divit is going to be important. The difficult part, 475 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: and it's it always seems so easy, is to match 476 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: the tile. But there's two hundred flavors of white. I mean, 477 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: it's it's just so difficult. And you know, if you're 478 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: going to try it, what I would do is if 479 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: you got a little ding or a dent someplace that's 480 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: inconspicuous that you know, maybe even got to look for 481 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: it now and do it there and use that kind 482 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: of as your test panel, because boy, just even just 483 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: a little different sheen's gonna show up. There's you know, 484 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: matt finishes, there's you know, eggshell finishes, there's semiglasses, there's 485 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: you know, the degrees percentage of degrees. I I just 486 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: think it's going to be really really hard to match 487 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: it exact. And if it's in the middle a traffic pattern, 488 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: you're still gonna see it. It may not be as 489 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: noticeable or it may highlight. 490 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 6: It well, it's got to be better than a dark brown. 491 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I agree. That's why I said, if you're 492 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: gonna give it a try, try to find an out 493 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: of the area place that you know, you can kind 494 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: of work on it. And if it's a real small thing, 495 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: I'm even thinking of almost like a liquid epoxy glue 496 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: rather than the putting type that I was talking about. 497 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: I mean, if it's that kind of small, maybe just 498 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: a clear epoxy glue that you could put in with 499 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: like almost like you know, stir it up with a 500 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: toothpick and dab it into that area. Let it. You know, 501 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: they don't get the fast dry, It'll seek its own levels, 502 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: so it'll kind of smooth itself out, and then you 503 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: can go on the quest of you know, trying to 504 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,239 Speaker 1: get a grout paint or something something to just you know, 505 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: hide that. 506 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 6: Okay, those I've been taking notes, and those are things 507 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 6: I'm going to look into. And like, I think we 508 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 6: I have the leftover tile, so whatever the color or 509 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 6: number it is, maybe it would be easier to match. 510 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 6: But then I've got a second question. I also refinished 511 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 6: my bathroom floor with tile I can't remember which is which. 512 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 6: The kitchen is porcelain or ceramic, and the bathroom is 513 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 6: the opposite, is a. 514 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: Little more slip resistant, but they use them in both areas. 515 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 6: To be honest with you, Well, you're leading up to 516 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 6: another one of my questions. But in the bathroom, I 517 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 6: don't know. Somebody told me don't put down a ceiling 518 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 6: on it. Well I did, and it's worked beautiful that 519 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 6: the grout does not stain, it's not slippery. I don't know. 520 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 6: I can't remember what product I use. This is ten 521 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 6: years ago. But my kitchen floor, the one with the chips, 522 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 6: I do want to clean all the grout. That's going 523 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 6: to be a big job, crawling around on my hands 524 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 6: and knees. But I want to clean that grout, fix 525 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 6: those holes, and then put a sealing on it. And 526 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 6: then I was looking at the roll of rock. I 527 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 6: called you about that last week. Uh, And I want 528 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 6: to know the order I should do. Obviously, I got 529 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 6: to clean the grout and clean the floors and fill 530 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 6: in the holes. But then should I put roller rock 531 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 6: on first or put the sealer on first? Because the 532 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 6: sealer works beautiful. The grout never changes. 533 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: Now, Well, the roller rock roller rock again is a coating, Okay, 534 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: so it's I'm not going to use the word paint, 535 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: but i am going to use the word paint. It's 536 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: kind of like a paint, but it's got some depth 537 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: to it. In other words, it's got some three D 538 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: look to it, and it's thick. So what you would 539 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: do is and you wouldn't have to knock yourself out 540 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: super cleaning the grout because this is a coating that's colored. Okay, 541 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: so you're gonna cover all that up. Now, roller Rock 542 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,959 Speaker 1: with a company that makes roller rock makes a seiler also, 543 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: so you know, if you're talking about the true roller rock, 544 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: I would get it clean, I would get it smooth, 545 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 1: and then I would put the roller rock on two 546 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: coats and then a clear ceiler. 547 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 6: Okay, the seiler would go on after the roller rock. 548 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: Yes, sir, it's sealing the roller rocky the tiles already 549 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: and the ground's already been sealed by the pigment and 550 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: coating of roller rock. 551 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 6: Okay. The uh, the fact that it also comes tinted, 552 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 6: wouldn't that tend to where I make the repairs and 553 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 6: the chips tend to that would cover it? Sure, make 554 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 6: minimize it. 555 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, you're gonna cover all that you're gonna end 556 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: up with a uniform color. Go to dish coatings. It's 557 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: d ai ch Coatings dot com. Take a look at 558 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: some of those videos of application of the roller rock 559 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: and there's all also one called spreadstone, and then you 560 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: can put the seiler on top of that. And quite honestly, 561 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 1: if you're going to go to that extent, I think 562 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: filling those divots is going to become very easy. And 563 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 1: I would go with an epoxy filler at that point, 564 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: and just you know, I mean you could use the 565 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: paste and just smooth it over if it gets on 566 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: a towel, who cares? You're covering all that with a 567 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: spreadstone or the roller rock. Spend and then the ceiler. 568 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,720 Speaker 1: Spend a little time at the dice Coatings dot com 569 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,319 Speaker 1: and watch those videos and I think you have a 570 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,439 Speaker 1: real good idea where you want to go with that.

Recently I visited Dossollar Pump Company 602 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: in Louisville. We toured the factory, the innovation building where 603 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: they trained plumbers. We got to see the attention to 604 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: detail on every pump day manufacturer, and of course the 605 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: n behind it. Zalor's a four generation family owned company, 606 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,439 Speaker 1: and you can tell that people truly care. They care 607 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 1: about quality, and that's why so many plumbers recommend Zalor 608 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: and I do too. If you need a some pump, 609 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: grinder pump, you can't go wrong with a Zalar pump. 610 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: As your plumber though, agree Solar Pumps dot Com Well, 611 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: thank you very much for joining us. Today. I know 612 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: we all have our issues, maybe caused by weather or 613 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,720 Speaker 1: we just have some problems that we're trying to solve, 614 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: like the tile. And I did want to mention one 615 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: other thing as I was kind of thinking about because 616 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 1: we kind of really change gears or where we were 617 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 1: going on that floor issue. I was even thinking when 618 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 1: he was talking about it might be a good idea 619 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: just to cover it with some roller rock. But if 620 00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 1: you were going to do that without bring the surface, 621 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: there is a tile grout patch that comes in a 622 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: bottle that would be the color of the grout, and 623 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: I don't know how close that is the color of 624 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,359 Speaker 1: the tile. That could be an option, but if you're 625 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 1: going to cover it, I'd stay with the epoxy. I 626 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: think your adhesion is going to be better and certainly 627 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: going to get to you get you where you want 628 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: to go with that particular project. All right, Several people 629 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 1: were trying to call in during a breakway a little 630 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 1: technical issue, and if you want to call back, please do. 631 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 1: It's eight hundred love wireless technology until it stops working. 632 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: There you go eight hundred eight two three A two 633 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:42,359 Speaker 1: five five, Nick, Welcome, Thanks for holding Hi, Gary, I. 634 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 7: Got a question here on the the icicles that are 635 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 7: hanging in front of the gutters. Are you supposed to 636 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 7: put insulation in the eaves or no insulation in the eaves? 637 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,240 Speaker 7: Now there's uh, there's ice guard on the on the roof. 638 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: So on the eaves itself, are there is there a 639 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: ventilation screen? There? 640 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 7: There is some ventilation, but I don't think the hole 641 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 7: is big enough. 642 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 1: Okay, which might be why you have the icicles. Okay, 643 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: So to answer your question, no, there should not be 644 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: insulation on those eves. And then to add a caveat 645 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 1: here is there is a formulation or a formula on 646 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:35,240 Speaker 1: how much air you're going to bring in through the soffits, 647 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: because that's what you're doing, that's your intake air. So 648 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: let's say in the summertime it's ninety degrees outside that 649 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 1: attic's one hundred and forty one hundred and thirty, so 650 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 1: it's hotter in the attic. It's got a ridge vent 651 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: I think, and so it works like a chimney. You 652 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 1: bring the cooler air even though it's ninety degrees, it's 653 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: cooler than one hundred and thirty, and it's pushing the 654 00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: hot air out. So we gotta have a good balance 655 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:05,399 Speaker 1: of air coming in to evacuate the hot air through 656 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 1: the top. 657 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,839 Speaker 7: So let me put the siding in. I wanted them 658 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 7: to make the sapage holes bigger, but they were telling 659 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 7: me that was enough. And they're just like a a 660 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 7: round circle like the like an inch drill. 661 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: Bit. Yeah, they didn't want to do it. They didn't 662 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: want to do it. They have no idea that was 663 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: enough right now? 664 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 7: I didn't think it was enough. 665 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, they have no idea. So the formula is, 666 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,279 Speaker 1: you got a ridge vent on there, correct? Correct? Okay, So, 667 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,800 Speaker 1: and it's kind of a complicated formula. It sounds real simple, 668 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: but it's complicated. For every three hundred square feet a 669 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 1: footprint of the house, you have one square foot of 670 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 1: ventilation that is uninterrupted, which means those little fins that 671 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 1: are on those circles, that's interrupting almost half of it. 672 00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: And then the rich vent has a filler. 673 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 7: In snow on the roof. The snow is up on 674 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 7: the ridge vent, the snow is starting, the snow is 675 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 7: melting up there on the ridge vent. Do that means 676 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 7: I'm getting enough air through there? Now? 677 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:14,759 Speaker 1: Well, it means you're getting some air through there. I 678 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: don't know if you're getting enough. Somebody's got to do 679 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: the calculation. So it's for three hundred square feet, it's 680 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: one square foot of uninterrupted ventilation split fifty to fifty 681 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:30,320 Speaker 1: bottom and top. That's the formula. Okay, somebody's got. 682 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,280 Speaker 7: The butsulation in there at all. 683 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: That's correct because insulation there is actually covering your ventilation. 684 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: So if the insulation is all in the soffet and 685 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: you got a hole and then you got a little 686 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 1: tin cup in there with fins on it to bring 687 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,799 Speaker 1: the air in, if there's insulation on top of that, 688 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,800 Speaker 1: you're not You're not getting anything. 689 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,719 Speaker 7: Right, I got you? Okay, very good, all. 690 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 1: Right, thank you very much, quite welcome. Thank you, Nick, 691 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,839 Speaker 1: appreciate it. And uh, that's a good thing. We talk 692 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 1: a lot about checking that periodically, but it's never a 693 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 1: concern until we have that need. I get that. I'm 694 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 1: just like you are. But I've seen soft events that 695 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,879 Speaker 1: people have painted over them, which is terrible. You get 696 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:20,439 Speaker 1: no ventilation then, right, Spiders that have gotten in there, 697 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,760 Speaker 1: and you know, webs that are clogging up the little 698 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: fine screen behind those little fins. I mean, there's somebody 699 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 1: doesn't put any baffles up and they've insulated right over it, 700 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 1: and then you could have the perfect system, but it 701 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 1: isn't working because you're not bringing in any of the 702 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 1: air at all. So yep, all right, so we solve 703 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 1: that problem. All right, we got Joe Ann and Bill 704 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 1: and Ken and Mark sit tight. We'll get you on 705 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,759 Speaker 1: the other side of the hour.
