I get that, but 15 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: there's always things to do. Now. The one thing I 16 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 2: want to kind of talk to you today about, and 17 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 2: that is smart homes. 18 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: There are so. 19 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 2: Many things that you know are utilizing the smart technology. 20 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 2: Some people doing nothing, some people doing a little, some 21 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 2: people begging not to do anything, other people begging to 22 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 2: do everything. Where do you stand? Where do you stand? 23 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: And what's the coolest thing that you've incorporated in your 24 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: home in terms of smart technology, and you know, how's 25 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: it working for you. I'd love to get your input 26 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 2: on that. It's eight hundred eight two three eight two 27 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: five five. Obviously that segment's going to continue to grow. 28 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: And I'm trying to think back to what the first 29 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 2: thing I ever saw was, and it's probably been fifteen 30 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: or twenty years ago, and it was at a special 31 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 2: store that worked on smart technology and theaters, and I 32 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 2: think it was these the smart light switches and the 33 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 2: shades smart technology there. 34 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: But now it's everywhere. 35 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: As I was just looking at some of the things 36 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 2: I have in my home, you know, from the shades, 37 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 2: the garage door opener, to the sump pump, to the thermostats. 38 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: Even if you're not planning on a smart home in 39 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 2: a lot of cases, yeah, security lights. It's it's slowly 40 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 2: creeping in in the tech technologies there and it's intriguing 41 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: outdoor lights. Some are cloud based. In fact, tomorrow we're 42 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: going to have an expert on it's going to talk 43 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: about that. But i'd like to know where you are, 44 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 2: and I know there's going to be people that are 45 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 2: gonna really like what they've incorporated in their house. There's 46 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 2: going to be people. And I was at a luncheon 47 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: this week and the fellow was he had just got 48 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: a furnace in his home, and his wife was there, 49 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: and this technician was installing everything. When it came to 50 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: the thermos statue is no, no, no, I don't know 51 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: what kind of thermostat you want, but I want one 52 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: where I can either move it down or move it up. 53 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 2: I know you can still get him. He never told 54 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: me what he ended up with. My guess is not that, 55 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 2: but maybe so you know, that's one thing that you 56 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 2: might have smart technology in your home, but exactly you know, 57 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: does where's your home fall in in terms of smart technology? 58 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: So the number, if you would be kind enough to 59 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: join the conversation, it's eight hundred. 60 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: Eighty two three eight two five. 61 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 2: Five, And feel free to jump on board. The next 62 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 2: thing as we start having colder weather, and we certainly 63 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: had cold weather last week and kind of warm it 64 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: up right now in a lot of parts of the country, 65 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: certainly the midwest, Northeast and things like that. Maybe not 66 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 2: you listening in the southeast right now, but the lawnmower, 67 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 2: I think we can say, well, those days are done 68 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 2: for this year, we're not going to be doing too 69 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: much more mowing, and maybe it's time we winter rize 70 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: it or begin the storage process. And exactly what do 71 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 2: you do when the season's over? And I know my house, 72 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: the last time it was used, well, it's probably a 73 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. I mean last weekend we had snow, 74 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 2: so May it was a couple of weeks ago. And 75 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 2: mine's still sitting in the garage and ready to go. 76 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 2: But I don't think it's going to go anywhere. You know, 77 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 2: it's time to start thinking about, you know, winterizing it 78 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 2: or storing it. And of course, whenever you're doing that, 79 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: the first thing you want to do is clean it, 80 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: and mine could use some of that, you know, scraping 81 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: the grass clippings from the deck, use a plastic scraper, well, 82 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: putting I forks really good, hose it off lightly, don't 83 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 2: forget to disconnect the hose. After you do that, let 84 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: it dry completely, and just kind of clean the whole surface, 85 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 2: underneath the sides and everything else. Just do a good 86 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: job of that. Then we'll get into the mechanics throughout 87 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 2: the day as we work our way through the weekend, 88 00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: and before. 89 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: We do that. 90 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 2: We got Ron Wilson coming up, and we got Carl 91 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 2: to lead us off today. 92 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: Carl, welcome, Hi, good morning. We're going to question about it. 93 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 3: I got a question about my floors I'm doing. I'm 94 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 3: doing some remodeling on my house and I pulled up 95 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 3: the lnoleum floor and it seems like I'm on the 96 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 3: second floor of a condo. So it seems like the 97 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 3: base between the continent the second floor and the first 98 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 3: floor was I don't think it's concrete, but whatever it is, 99 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 3: it's it's kind of looks like concrete. It's all cracked. 100 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 3: And when I walked across the floor when it was 101 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 3: just a linoleum, before I gripped it up, I could 102 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 3: hear that it was pop. I need how do you 103 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 3: fill those cracks? 104 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: Well, first we got to know what it is. 105 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 3: It's the floor leveler type of the white pottery. I mean, 106 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 3: I don't even know because I thought I thought it 107 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: was probably would with something under there that leveled the floor. 108 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 3: But it looks like cemen. 109 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I don't know what it would be, but 110 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 2: let's just say it's it's concrete, okay. And when that 111 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: vinyl was installed, they use you mentioned floor leveler, which 112 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: is a cementatious coating where they can you know, kind 113 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,239 Speaker 2: of level it out because a lot of the flooring, 114 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: you know, you want as level as you can get, 115 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: especially if you're doing laminates and things like that. Vinyl 116 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: kind of goes with whatever grade you are. But with 117 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: a vinyl, if there's pot marks in it or cracks 118 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 2: or anything like that and you don't level it, that 119 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 2: vinyl will take the shape of the floor. So if 120 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: it's concrete and it's got a floor leveler on it 121 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 2: and all that's kind of cracking loose and popping and 122 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: stuff like that, it would be like everything else, you know, 123 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: the first thing you got to do is prepare the surface, 124 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: and the surface preparation would be to remove certainly all 125 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 2: the loose. 126 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: Floor leveler that's there. 127 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: You want to get that cleaned out the best you can, 128 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: and then once you have it cleaned out, you can 129 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 2: reapply a new floor leveler on it, or a concrete 130 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 2: resurfacer if that's the case. But a floor leveler is 131 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: the thing that you would usually use for a concrete substrate, 132 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: and you do see a lot of that in condos. 133 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 2: That's probably what it is. So I would remove the 134 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 2: loose parts and get some you know, are you going 135 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: to install the next. 136 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: Flooring or what? 137 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would have a snap in the floor. 138 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, and that's like the lamin it snap 139 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 2: in yes, certa okay, yeah. So luckily on those they 140 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: kind of have a pad underneath them and everything else. 141 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: So really what you want to do is get rid 142 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 2: of the loose stuff and just you know, you'll level it. 143 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: But you know it. 144 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: Doesn't have to be done perfectly because that snap in 145 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 2: is kind of a floating floor. Anyway, make sure you 146 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 2: leave that expansion a quarter inch around the perimeter of 147 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: the room. 148 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's how you would do that. Okay. 149 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 3: So now when I so, when I get that all leveled, 150 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 3: the laman that does have a backing on it, could 151 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 3: I put like a sound is if I put the 152 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 3: sound be it said, a lot of warranties you're avoid 153 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 3: if you put like the sound barrier on top of 154 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 3: the lay the snap in flooring on top on on 155 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 3: top of that. 156 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: Right right, Well, I guess set your choice. 157 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: You could put a sound barrier on there, but the 158 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 2: warranty is going to be voided, okay, And I tell 159 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: this to everybody, Carl, whether it's a roof or whether 160 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: it's a floor, and I really do. I said, a 161 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 2: lot of floor manufacturers are are different. They're all kind 162 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 2: of different. To read the directions and check that out, 163 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 2: just you know. I'll use roofing as an example. If 164 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 2: you put a second layer on, people always want to 165 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 2: put a second layer, and you can do that, you'll 166 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 2: avoid the warranty. 167 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: On the roof. 168 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: You can not have adequate ventilation, you'll ruin the warranty. 169 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 2: So you know they're telling you you're gonna lose the 170 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 2: warranty not to do that. It doesn't mean you can't, 171 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 2: but they don't recommend you do it. So I guess 172 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 2: it depends how noisy it is. 173 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: You're the top floor though right. 174 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 3: I'm on the second floor. But it seems to me 175 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 3: that the building moves and shakes and pops and cracks, 176 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 3: and I don't think it was the highest quality when 177 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 3: they put in conducts anyway. Right, But so if it's 178 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 3: if it has no need for a underlayment and you 179 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 3: put one in that really. 180 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 2: I would follow their installations directly. I really would, because 181 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 2: there are different kinds. But the the laminates have gotten 182 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: so much better even with sound by having that board 183 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 2: underneath the laminate that you'll cut some sound out. Now, 184 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: if you've got a really big problem, that's a different thing. 185 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 2: But I would I wouldn't mess with the directions. I would. 186 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 2: I would adhere right to the directions. Uh, they make 187 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 2: the product, they've tested, probably hundreds of things add or 188 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: delete from their product, and I would follow those installation 189 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: recommendations for sure.

I said, well, you're 258 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 2: probably leaving a little money on the table. He says, yeah, 259 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 2: but probably not too much.

Yeah, I can't wait 299 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 5: to get it. I can't wait to use it. But 300 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 5: it's a It's battery supposed to last up to about 301 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 5: an hour. Okay, I'm just you know, I'm gonna buy 302 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 5: two more batteries so I can make it go longer. 303 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: But right, yeah, what's the voltage on that battery? 304 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 2: Do you know? 305 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: I don't remember, Okay, I'm just curious. 306 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 5: I did do all that research though, I did look 307 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 5: through all that stuff. I'm amazing, it's amazing available out there. 308 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: How that makes I bought a I didn't Well, I 309 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 2: did buy it. I bought a battery operated lawnmower back 310 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 2: in March. And the place I bought it from they 311 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 2: you could return it within I think three months. And 312 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 2: I was a little concerned because my yuard was kind 313 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 2: of right on the borderline of the extent that that 314 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 2: battery could go, and it wasn't making it. And it 315 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 2: came with the second battery so I could when it went, 316 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 2: I could charge it and use the other one and 317 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 2: the charge it. But sometimes it would be three chargings 318 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 2: and they kind of said like one. And obviously what 319 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 2: the reasoning was was it was springtime. We have heavy growth, 320 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 2: even though you're cutting it every four days. 321 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: And it's damp and thick, thick, thick, Yeah, and it. 322 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 2: Just wasn't going to work. It probably would have been 323 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 2: great after that ninety days when we go into drought, 324 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 2: it probably would be fine. Uh So anyway, I returned it, 325 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 2: so not to discourage you, I've got other things that 326 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 2: are battery operated, you know, including a blower, which I 327 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 2: absolutely love. 328 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: But I'd be real curious to see how how that goes. 329 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 5: We're going to find out, Yeah. 330 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 2: Whether an hour, because like I said, I did well, 331 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 2: that was their point. Fifteen yeah, thirty minutes. 332 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 5: That was their point. When you read the description, how 333 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 5: large would drive away? It will clear and you look 334 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 5: at that compared to my mom's and I should.

I think mown season for the most 397 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 2: of us is completed. I'm talking about, you know, story 398 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 2: the mower. 399 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: What to do? 400 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 2: We talked about cleaning it. The bottom of the deck, 401 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 2: the top of the deck, the clippings, get a good 402 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 2: and clean. It's a great time to do just that. 403 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 2: And then you're gonna have to deal with the fuel. 404 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 2: Most important step. A couple options, two good options, and 405 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: pick one and stick with it. You can stabilize the 406 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 2: fuel and that's usually stabilizers to stabilize, you get the 407 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 2: hardware stores mixed with gas and you keep the gas 408 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,719 Speaker 2: in the tank and that's good for about six months, 409 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 2: and there's a stay Built is probably the biggest brand 410 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 2: name out there. After you add this stabilizer and I'll 411 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 2: tell you how much to add, you run the engine 412 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 2: for about five to ten minutes. It'll stabilize, the fuel 413 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 2: gets into the carburetor, and again filling the tank nearly 414 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 2: full when that'll reduce the condensation. That's an important step 415 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 2: when I said pick one instead with it year after 416 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,479 Speaker 2: year after year. Option B is drain the fuel and 417 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 2: that's really better for not better, but usually you'll do 418 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 2: that if it's a you know, long storage beyond the 419 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 2: six months. But I have a tendency to do this one. 420 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 2: Drain the tank and the car carburetor bowl, run the 421 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 2: engine until it dies, and that kind of to me 422 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 2: cleans up everything, takes everything out of the equation if 423 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,719 Speaker 2: you will. It prevents that carburetor from coming up completely 424 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 2: and it's a good way to store. Wouldn't necessarily do 425 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 2: it if I had a metal gas tank just because 426 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 2: of condensation. I know a lot of people say, no, 427 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 2: you don't want to do that. Dry out the gaskets. 428 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 2: I've not had that problem, but those are your two options. 429 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 2: Don't just GI mode the grass three weeks ago and 430 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 2: it's pushed it into the garage or storage shed and 431 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 2: it's going to stay there until next spring. Don't do that. 432 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 2: You do option A or Option B. And also old oil. 433 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: Change the oil really every year, and don't do it 434 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 2: in the spring. Do it now it's a really good 435 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 2: time because old oil has acids in it and moistures 436 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 2: and that can do some damage to the engine too. 437 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 2: So clean that out and then then be ready to go. 438 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 1: In the spring. 439 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 2: Don't don't start doing that in the spring and letting 440 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 2: that old oil. And don't guess just sit in that 441 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 2: in that mower. I guess a lot of things. We 442 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 2: were talking about battery operated equipment, so you got to 443 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 2: ask yourself that where you stand with that. How do 444 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 2: you handle a battery more for storage, Well, the first 445 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 2: thing you'd want to do is disconnect and remove the battery. Actually, 446 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 2: the first thing you want to do is probably read 447 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 2: your owner's manual and see how it recommends you to 448 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 2: store your but disconnect and remove the battery. I'm sure 449 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 2: it's in there. You store it indoors. It's got to 450 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 2: be cool, it's got to be dry. And there's also 451 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 2: kind of like a trickle charger is it's called a 452 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 2: battery tender and charges it turns on kind of keeps 453 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 2: the charge every. 454 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: Four to six weeks. 455 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 2: So just a couple of things to do. If you 456 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 2: got a gas one again, the spark plug, I might 457 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 2: remove that clean with a little motor oil and the cylinder, 458 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 2: pull the starter quart a couple of times and reinstall 459 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 2: the plug. Check the blade. We're always talking about sharpening 460 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 2: the blade. This would be a good time to do it. 461 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 2: I know, you know it's busy this week and next week, 462 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 2: but in January it seems like life can slow down, 463 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 2: you know pretty much, and looking ahead and get some 464 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 2: of these projects done, might be might be a real 465 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 2: good idea. I will tell you the storage location. I 466 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 2: mentioned the garage. I also mentioned the shed. And you 467 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 2: just want to make sure where you're storing it is 468 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 2: relatively dry. And you know, if you got a shed 469 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 2: and it's just like a dirt floor or something, not 470 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 2: a great place because moisture rises up kind of like 471 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 2: in a crawl space. That moisture just rises up right 472 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 2: into you know, the stuff you're storing tools. Rust mowers 473 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 2: have problems there. So anyway, just kind of oh, by 474 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 2: the way, when you're storing that battery on the battery 475 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 2: type again, you want to be careful. We talked about 476 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 2: this last week. We're talking about indoor temperatures and garages 477 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 2: if you decide to store it in there. The storage 478 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,239 Speaker 2: temperature for batteries, ideally, from what I can kind of 479 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 2: take a look at now, is forty to seventy degrees, 480 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 2: and you know you might want to just we're talking 481 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 2: about the indoor temperature and garages. It was very cold 482 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 2: in my city. It was down to near zero, and 483 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 2: I was talking as low as it got in my garage. 484 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 2: I think was around forty five this past week, which 485 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 2: would be fine. But I have walls that are insulated. 486 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 2: I have an insulated garage door. It's in good shape, 487 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 2: it's weather stripped, it has a sweep or a gasket 488 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 2: at the bottom, and I can maintain that temperature quite 489 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 2: quite easily. If you do not have insulated doors, do 490 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: not have insulation in the walls, that can be a 491 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 2: whole nother story, right, So make sure you know where 492 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 2: you're storing it and what that temperature would be. So, 493 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 2: but yeah, clean it up, get it ready and get 494 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 2: it stored for down to handle. Some of the newer 495 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 2: ones really store nicely. Take a very little room. You know, 496 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 2: handles collapse very easily, and you know, makes a tough 497 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 2: project pretty easy. Also, if you're you know, a gardener 498 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 2: like mister Wilson is that we chat with every Saturday morning, 499 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 2: take a look at the tools, make sure they're clean. 500 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 2: You can sharpen those with a file, and then just 501 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 2: we talk a lot about blaster lubricants. That is a 502 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 2: really good way to keep excuse me, keep moisture off 503 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 2: of tools and preventing them from rusting. And there's also 504 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 2: rusty moving products that blaster has. Again it depends on 505 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 2: the temperature and how much moisture is in the garage 506 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 2: or the shed. But if you keep them clean, keep 507 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 2: them sharpened, and put some sort of protect in on them, 508 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 2: like an oil or like a silicone, you really minimize 509 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 2: you know, the rust and stuff that you can get onto. 510 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of tools. 511 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 2: If you got wood handle still, maybe an old shovel, 512 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 2: a little tongueil on there, we'll do a real good 513 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 2: job of protecting that wood.

Somebody asked 521 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 2: me this past week, and it was about that last fertilization. 522 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 2: You know, we had kind of an early early winter. 523 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 2: As I was talking about storing the mowers, mine hasn't 524 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 2: been used probably for about three weeks. Usually I use 525 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 2: it up to about mid December. So obviously that season 526 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 2: got cut short, and I imagine fertilization, maybe even some 527 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 2: narration in different parts of the country also got short. 528 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 2: And I wanted to ask him if it's just too late. 529 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 2: My guess as it is, but we'll let the expert 530 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 2: decide there.

It 582 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 7: opens pretty easy, but when we're gonna close it and 583 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 7: wants to like chip and stick, there's nothing in the 584 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 7: bottom of the track. Make sure that So you've got 585 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 7: any suggestions on trying to make it roll a little 586 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 7: easier when you close it? 587 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 2: Well, I mean it can start as easy, really, Larry, 588 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 2: is just lubrication. But is there rollers in the up 589 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 2: part of the door? How's it assemble? 590 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 7: I really can't tell. Is there a way you can 591 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 7: take that door out without having it? 592 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 2: Depends what kind of door you have? I mean, some 593 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 2: you can, some you cannot. I think probably what I 594 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 2: would start with the beginning. You don't have the make 595 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 2: of the door or anything along those lines, do you No? 596 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 7: I do not. 597 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, you might want to look for a little plate. 598 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 2: They're usually you know, on the where it slides up 599 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 2: against the jam or the side of the door. There's 600 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,280 Speaker 2: usually a plate which will have the manufacturer on there. 601 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 2: And get to their website and just see if you 602 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 2: can kind of pair up. There may even be a 603 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 2: model number there where it describes, because sometimes there's some 604 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 2: adjustments up at the top of that door, but not 605 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 2: all the time, and some you can take out, but 606 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 2: not all the time. So I think that's really where 607 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 2: i'd start if you want to do the most basic 608 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 2: of maintenance, which it could be, but it could be 609 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 2: so many other things. I would probably clean even even 610 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 2: though you said the clock the track is clean, I 611 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 2: would still clean it, probably with a little mineral spirits 612 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 2: and a rag and then put in a silicone or 613 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,280 Speaker 2: a teflon spray. 614 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: See if that helps. I mean, it could be. 615 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 2: That the you know, the the base of that track 616 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 2: is being pushed up a little bit and it's just 617 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,919 Speaker 2: kind of jamming against itself. There's there's a lot of variables, 618 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 2: but you could start with the lubrication and maybe you'll 619 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 2: hit it there. 620 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 7: Okay, all right, well, aren't for the suggestion, man. 621 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 2: You're quite welcome, Thank you all right again, it's eight 622 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,479 Speaker 2: hundred and eight two three A two five five talking 623 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 2: a little home improvement and things that go bump in 624 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:49,919 Speaker 2: the night. 625 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: I had an issue or a front hand an issue. 626 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 2: And you know we've all been there, doorknob going through 627 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 2: some drywall and wanting it to wanting to patch it, 628 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 2: et cetera. And it reminds me of just the little things. 629 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 2: It's all about prevention. Last week, we had Beth Harper on, 630 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 2: she's an insurance broker, and she was just talking about, 631 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 2: you know how insurance companies are really kind of getting 632 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 2: a little picky whether this problem was caused because you know, 633 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,760 Speaker 2: it was an accident, or was it just lack of maintenance. 634 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 2: And this is not a big deal, but you know, 635 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 2: a doorknob goes through the drywall, it goes through the 636 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 2: drywall because the doorstop was missing. In his case, it 637 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 2: was just in a state of disrepair. There was an 638 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 2: old spring doorstop and it wasn't even tightly connected to 639 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 2: the base that was screwed into the base board. And 640 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 2: on occasion I'll tell people to just kind of go 641 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 2: through their house and take a look at the doorstops. 642 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 2: And I did that myself and you'd be amazed. I 643 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 2: mean you'll you'll find a handful of them that either 644 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 2: the bumper is torn or missing, or the door stop 645 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 2: just isn't getting the job done anymore. You know, the 646 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 2: spring type, it's. 647 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 1: Not very erect. 648 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 2: It's just kind of it's like a spring that has 649 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 2: already sprung. And just replacing those really can you know, 650 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 2: save yourself a maintenance and repair, And especially if you're 651 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 2: living in a house with kids, because those doors open 652 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 2: a little more abruptly than maybe we would That door 653 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 2: gets thrown open instead just just opened. So check the 654 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 2: door stops also. As our homes dry out, we talk 655 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 2: about that a lot this time of year, and they 656 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 2: are drying out because it's colder outside and it's colder 657 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 2: even inside, and we don't have that humidity in many 658 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 2: parts of the country, and it dries out, and doors 659 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,879 Speaker 2: all of a sudden they either you know, they don't 660 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 2: close maybe in the summertime, but in the wintertime they 661 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 2: don't stay open. You open them up and it just 662 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 2: kind of slowly closes. Again, those can be fixed pretty 663 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 2: dog gone easily. You know, as you're checking the doorstops, 664 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 2: if you run into one of those doors, just take 665 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,919 Speaker 2: a look. The first thing I'd do is make sure 666 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 2: the screws that are in the hinges one part of 667 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 2: that hinge into the door, the other part into the jam. 668 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 2: Make sure those screws are nice and tight and don't 669 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 2: strip them, but make sure they're snug, and that may 670 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 2: solve your problem. In another case, if they're a little 671 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 2: loose and you tighten them out and it doesn't solve 672 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 2: the problem, you might have to build that bottom hinge 673 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 2: out a little bit. So if you take the screws 674 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 2: out of the hinge that are into the jam, put 675 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 2: a little, uh, maybe a couple of toothpicks behind that, 676 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 2: and then right up the screws and see if that helps. 677 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 2: But the easiest way kind of cheaters with, but it 678 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 2: works really well, is if you pop a hinge out 679 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 2: and those pins are removable, and maybe do it to 680 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:21,879 Speaker 2: the lower hinge. Pull that pin out and the pin 681 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 2: is connecting the two halves of the hinge, if you will, 682 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 2: and you get a screwdriver and a hammer and just 683 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 2: tap that pin straight out, take it downstairs as the workman, 684 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 2: put it in your device and just tap it. Just 685 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 2: put a slight bow in it and that'll usually correct 686 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 2: that problem. The door will stay open. It'll still close 687 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 2: easy enough. You don't want to bend it a lot, 688 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 2: but just a slight bow just add a little friction 689 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 2: to it and keeps it from kind of closing itself 690 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 2: if you do happen to strip the screw out. I'm 691 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 2: big on toothpicks today. One of the things I do 692 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 2: is take out the screws on that hinge and you 693 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 2: you know, you know which one is top, bottom or 694 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 2: middle one, and then just take a couple of little 695 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:17,280 Speaker 2: pieces of toothpick. Correct a toothpick, little wood glue, stick 696 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 2: it into the hole, put the hinge, and then run 697 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 2: the screw into there. That's a great way to function 698 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 2: as a filler and enable you really to make that 699 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 2: screw nice and taught. So you know a couple of 700 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 2: things to do, you know, as you're just taking a 701 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 2: good look about the house. 702 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: Oh and here's a here's a crazy one. 703 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,239 Speaker 2: Because there's always things if you own a home and 704 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 2: you're paying attention to it, there's always things you find. 705 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 2: And this happened yesterday. I'm pulling into the garage, which 706 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 2: is on the side of the house, and I look 707 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 2: in the brick wall is more and it's right by 708 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,719 Speaker 2: the dryer vent and it's wet. I mean it's a 709 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 2: darker color brick, and so I know it's wet, and 710 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 2: I'm like, what. 711 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 1: In the world is by the vent? What's going on there? 712 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 2: And then as I look at the vent from the 713 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,840 Speaker 2: car I haven't even gotten out yet, I see lint 714 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 2: hanging out of the screen. The man, nothing could be 715 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 2: filled with lint, I don't know. I parked the car 716 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 2: and I go out and look and it was unbelievable. 717 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 2: I pulled the screen out and I literally scraped an 718 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 2: area about the size of my hand and it was lint, 719 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 2: and it was probably an eighth of an inch thick. 720 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 2: And I walked into houses I said, has that dryer 721 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 2: been working funny lately? And shese, yeah, I was just 722 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 2: going to ask you about that. This thing's not drying clothes, 723 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 2: and it was. It was simply because there was lint 724 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 2: on the screen on the outside of the vent. And 725 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 2: that's so often why I'm telling folks to. 726 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 1: Just pay attention things. 727 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 2: If things don't look right, they're not right. 728 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: There's a reason. 729 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,799 Speaker 2: And that wet brick made me take notice of the 730 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,760 Speaker 2: vent and pulled that out and I checked those periodically 731 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 2: and there was no problem. And really, what I think 732 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 2: the cause of it was we had washed a bunch 733 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 2: of blankets. It's probably a bunch of lint, and it 734 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,839 Speaker 2: accumulated and when the regular wash was doing it wasn't 735 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 2: trying to close as well because the vent was clogged. 736 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,400 Speaker 2: And I'm telling you that baby was clogged. It was 737 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 2: almost by the time I scraped all the lint out 738 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 2: and packed it, it was about the size of a baseball. 739 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's much note was in there. 740 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 6: So again, remember if those clothes aren't drained properly, it 741 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,840 Speaker 6: very well could be just the vent pipe or the 742 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 6: vent screen is clowned. 743 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:55,320 Speaker 1: It's easy enough to fix. 744 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 2: Our phone number if you'd like to join us Love 745 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,839 Speaker 2: to Heavy, it's eight hundred and eight two three eight 746 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 2: two five five. 747 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 1: We'll continue with your calls.
