1
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: Well, the weekend is here. Welcome aboard. You're at home

2
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: with Gary Salvan, taking you through another weekend, getting a

3
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff accomplished, and talked about whether it's

4
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: some winter issues we're heaving around the home, or maybe

5
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: we're starting to think about what we can do in

6
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: the springtime. Won't be long. We'll have to repair all this.

7
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: There'll be plenty of conversations regarding concrete repair in the springtime.

8
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: I assure you of that. Probably a little roof damage.

9
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: We'll definitely talk about painting. We'll definitely talk about using cloking.

10
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: I said about three weeks ago, when the snow started

11
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: in the Midwest and going up to the east, I

12
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: said to our pay attention to your house during severe weather,

13
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: and i'd whether it's the summertime or you're having a

14
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: really cold, snowy winter time, your house will tell you things.

15
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about the snow on a roof.

16
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: Yours is melting. Other people's aren't gutters that are sagging?

17
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: What's that mean to the soffits. I'm not getting good

18
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: ventilation sawfeits. You know, moisture that's kind of weeping in

19
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: through the walls. Foundation drainage. There'll be a lot and

20
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: hopefully we can help you put the pieces together in

21
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: the springtime. But in the meantime, maybe we can get

22
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: you out of some trouble. Today our phone number eight

23
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: eight eight two three eight two five five, and let's

24
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: go to Don Don.

25
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: Welcome, Thanks Garry. I enjoyed the show.

26
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: Thank you.

27
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: I uh so, back in about twenty eleven, I purchased

28
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: a second home, just like an investment opportunity, and it's

29
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: it was a small eight hundred square foot home and

30
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: it was built back in the fifties and they were

31
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: called they were called Gunnison homes, so they were put

32
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: in for you know, around steel mill towns in northern while.

33
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 2: So it was like a prefab house. And like I said,

34
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: when I got the home, it was older, and I

35
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: kind of gutted it out and you know, built basically

36
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: two by four walls inside of the two inch walls

37
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: that were already there for the prefab and you know,

38
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: and all new electrical had you know, electric guy came

39
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: in rewired it and did all the plumbing. So they're

40
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: slab homes, so redid the floor and everything. So I

41
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 2: had an old furnace guy I was trying to save

42
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 2: some space because it was a small home, so actually

43
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: took the furnace he did, and he mounted it in

44
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: the attic as a home and you know, she saved,

45
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 2: like I say, quite a bit of space doing that.

46
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: But the problem with that is, and like I said,

47
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: the home has been great ever since we remodeled it

48
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: and stuff, and my mom actually lives there. So through

49
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: the years, you know, we don't get the big snowfalls

50
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 2: like we used to in Ohio. But like I say,

51
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: this year is one of those years that and I

52
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: do get ice damming, so there's no overhangs on the

53
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: house at all. And but there you know, when the

54
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: guys came and did the roof in twenty eleven, had

55
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: it all redone. They cut a ridge event in the

56
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: in the in the roof. The problem is, you know,

57
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: with that furnace being up there and the duck works

58
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: is up there, and of course it loses heat there

59
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: where a duck wook is cut into every room you

60
00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: know from the ceiling. So problem I have, you know, basically,

61
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure there's there's lost heat in those

62
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: ducks that are up there, and uh, you know, I

63
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: just apparently don't have enough circulation or air coming in there.

64
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: There's no box fence in the roof or anything like that,

65
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: so I was kind of wandering, uh, you know, without

66
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: you know, I've looked at some heated gutters systems and

67
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 2: you know, heated eve systems that they make, because I

68
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: just don't think I'm going to get wood of that problem.

69
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: And I kind of like to address that this spring,

70
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: you know, and this kind of.

71
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: Right, it's it's a classic of kind of what I've

72
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: been preaching today. You know, I was talking about the

73
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: heat that gets in the attic, melts the snow and

74
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: creates the ice dams. And even though they put a

75
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: ridge vent in, it's doing little or no good for

76
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: you because you're not bringing any air in. So hot

77
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: air rises, but it doesn't rise unless air is coming

78
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: in to push it out to create convection. So the

79
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: how to say it rises, it brings in you know,

80
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: in the summertime cool aere it could be ninety degrees outside,

81
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: but it's still ninety degrees, it's not one hundred and forty.

82
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: And that's how you get the ventilation same in the wintertime,

83
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: introducing that furnace into that attic. Absolutely the issue. There's

84
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: probably three things, maybe four that I can think of.

85
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: One you identified and that's the duck work. And we

86
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: can certainly insulate that we can use aluminum.

87
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: Taked it is inflated duckwork. Yeah, okay, I can still

88
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: feel you know.

89
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: You can still feel the warmth.

90
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know the furnace, the riser on the

91
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: furnace and stuff. You could feel the heat on that thing,

92
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: you know, right, I know there's heat up.

93
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: There, right, so right right, so you.

94
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: Can drive down the road and you can see the

95
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 2: houses that you know are snow covered and this one, yeah,

96
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: it's one of the first ones to lose the snow

97
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: on the roof.

98
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: So the heat, you know, right, getting right, So what

99
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: were you thinking of doing the gutter cables in? Like

100
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: the problems there? It's not going to be really.

101
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: I do have those in already, but they don't seem

102
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: to work. That's great, you know. And my question was

103
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: I think that, you know, because that thing's mounted up there,

104
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: it's basically it is what it is, you know, And

105
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: I I I was kind of wondering if I do

106
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: cut a butt you know, some box vents in there.

107
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: This got some in the airflow. Like you say, well,

108
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: it kind of decrease that ice damming a little bit

109
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 2: because I think I'm going to go with the heated gutters,

110
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: the heated eaves and everything. I'm just going to go

111
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: ahead and take that hit and put them in because

112
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: that that ice, you know, year in the year out,

113
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: is doing some damage. I mean it's got to you know.

114
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it really wouldn't be the box vents because

115
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: that'd be pretty high up in the attic. There's something

116
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: called a smart vent which goes all the way down

117
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: to the base of the roof. I know, there's no overhang,

118
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: but there's still a base. You want to take it

119
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: down as low as you can, and a smart vent

120
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: is it's almost like a ridge vent, but it's down

121
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: at the real low level, okay, and it'll be pulling

122
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: air in that. So you'd really want some smart vents

123
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: put in there. And then you're either gutter cables or

124
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: heated gutter and you know that type of thing, and

125
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: just combat what's happening, because yeah, you're battling all kinds

126
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: of things. I mean, you got the heat from the duckwork,

127
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: you got the heat from the furnace. If there's a

128
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: platform there, it's probably not air sealed, and then the

129
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: whole insulation issue, so there's a bunch of stuff going

130
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: on there. So you're right, it's probably is what it is,

131
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: so ventilating that would be helpful, and putting you know,

132
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 1: a heated base on the lower area of that roof

133
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: would also be helpful.

134
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: Okay. And you said there's smart vents, they're.

135
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: Called smart vent. Yes, And it's just a horizontal, long

136
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: vent that's cut through the roof decking, just like your

137
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: ridge vent, only it's down low and then the shingles

138
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: go on top of it and it might project up

139
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: maybe two and a half inches, okay, and you know

140
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: it'll just start sucking that air in. It'll create a

141
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: convection pushing that hot air out. And hot air in

142
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: the winter time could be forty to fifty degrees right, true, yes,

143
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: you know, and that's enough to warm that up, and

144
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: that's enough to melt the snow. So by introducing colder

145
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: air in there, because that the air in your addicts

146
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: is not helping you anymore, right, in fact, it's hurting

147
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: you in the heated air. So yeah, it's called a

148
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: smart vent.

149
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I appreciate it, sir, all right.

150
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Good luck down, Thank you much, appreciate it. And again

151
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: it's all about just that's why in a I'll say

152
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: a normal season, when people will say, oh, let's say

153
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: normal winner, just a normal nothing exciting going on, And

154
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: we have the bathroom fan exhausting, we've got water driven in,

155
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: and I ask where's that vented? In fact, I ask you, now,

156
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: where is that bathroom fan vented? Because there's a lot

157
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: of people that don't know, and there's a lot of

158
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: people that don't care, and there's a lot of people

159
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: that are having damage done right now and they don't

160
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: know it because it's not vented. You've got a little pipe,

161
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: maybe it's a flexible pipe. Maybe it's vented into the attic.

162
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: Maybe your attics vented properly, and that can escape and

163
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. Maybe it's just laying on

164
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: the insulation and that's a real big deal. And a

165
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: lot of times just silly things like that. If you

166
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: think about it, if you don't have a well ventilated attic,

167
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: and we're talking about sealing addics up and adding insulation,

168
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: but you got a three or four inch pipe that's

169
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: going right up into the attic and somebody's tied it

170
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: onto a trust or something, and you're pumping that I

171
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: don't know, eighty degree steamy heat into a very cold attic.

172
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: You can like rain up there and then it gets

173
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: very moldy. So knowing how that works again, looking for

174
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: what your home's telling you when it's snow covered roofs

175
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: and everyone, and he said, I'm the guy that doesn't

176
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: have snow on my roof. That's the problem. You're supposed

177
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: to have snow on your roof. That means you're well

178
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: insulated and well ventilated. But if you have something that's

179
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: kind of beating it, like a furnace up there, that's uh,

180
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: is what it is. That's very common. That's why we're

181
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: seeing whole home encapsulation where we're instaining the whole attic

182
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: and we're taking ventilation out. We're creating a condition space.

183
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,080

226
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: just always thinking ahead and thinking next week maybe we'll

227
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: try to get Ron Krueger on and talk a little

228
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: bit about wildlife getting in our homes. And the reason

229
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: I say that is, I'm just thinking what would be

230
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: an interesting topic. Once all this melting occurs and wood

231
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: starts getting soft from moisture, and right around breeding season, yep,

232
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: they start looking for a place to hang out. So

233
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: we might talk to Ron Ron and get some tips

234
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: on how to keep the wildlife out of your home.

235
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: There's always something. All right, let's go by the way.

236
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: You can grab a line. They're wide open, and we

237
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: got Jerry. Jerry welcome, Yeah, all right, Good morning, Yes sir,

238
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: good morning.

239
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, say, I was calling a make some comments about

240
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 4: that lady called earlier about a toilet not flushing correctly. Yes, sir,

241
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: you know, all toilets are built with underneath the rim

242
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 4: these little holes that are at an angle, and as

243
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 4: what and what they're designed to when you flush the toilet,

244
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 4: that water comes out of those little holes at an

245
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 4: angle to create the proper swirl to get your flushed.

246
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: Right now, if you.

247
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 4: Have cruddy water with a lot of iron or you know, impurities, minerals, whatever,

248
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 4: and it can clog up those holes. So the best

249
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 4: way to open them is to get yourself an old

250
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 4: steel coat hanger and bend like a jay in the end,

251
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 4: reach up underneath there and kind of go through all

252
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 4: those holes and maybe break some of that crud loose.

253
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: Yep. We have talked about that many times. I didn't

254
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: talk about this time. And another tip, and I'm sure

255
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: you'll agree with this, is you know it takes I

256
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: think I said it takes power of water, but I

257
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: didn't address the holes underneath. But having a bucket of

258
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: water and flushing and pouring water in there to see

259
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: if that eliminates the problem. But she had a plumber there.

260
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure they would have checked that, wouldn't they.

261
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 4: Uh No, not necessarily any good handyman or plumber. That's

262
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 4: a one hour service call. Yeah, you get you get

263
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 4: an inspection mirror, which you can pick up at Walmart

264
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 4: or any automotive store. They don't go call. They get

265
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 4: a little mirror on the bottom about the diameter of

266
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 4: a quarter. You stick them down into your toilet into

267
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: the water, facing up with a flashlight. You could look

268
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 4: right up into the integral trap to see if there's

269
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 4: anything up there. At that one eighty degree turn. Now,

270
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 4: in my life, I've seen I've done this many many times.

271
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 4: I found child tooth brushes up in there, or a

272
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 4: little tree in metal school buses, yellow.

273
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: Pool buses, I've been there with.

274
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I found a number of them. And most people

275
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 4: they look down in their toilet, they see the hole

276
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 4: in the toilet. It looks like about a three to

277
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 4: four inch diameter toilet or hole rather, and they think

278
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 4: that's the same size hole that goes down to the

279
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 4: bottom of the toilet into the piping, you know, through

280
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 4: the closet flange. But that hole coming out the bottom

281
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 4: of your toilet, it's only two inch in diameter, right.

282
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: So many a dixie cup out of those?

283
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, there could be a child's toothbrush just spanning

284
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 4: across that hole, or it could be you know, a

285
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 4: little school bus or a tile's toyt you know, anything

286
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 4: like that. But I recommend you just go get a

287
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 4: you know, an inspection mirror with a flashlight. You can

288
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 4: look down in there and if you can't see anything,

289
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 4: have a guy come one hundred and fifty bucks in

290
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 4: one hour deal, pull the toilet, see what's going on.

291
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: That's it?

292
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, and I agree. I mean, but you had

293
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: a plumber there. I just I was I was troubled

294
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: by the fact that some of the basic things that

295
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: we were talking about he didn't talk about. And it

296
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: seemed to me she was scared by the conversation and

297
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: that is, well, we'll take this off and it'll be

298
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars and replace this. And it kept and

299
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: kept adding things. I would have thought he would, you know,

300
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: a one hour service call. You say, but why wouldn't

301
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: he have checked that basic application?

302
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 4: Also, well, I don't know the guy. I mean, you know,

303
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 4: and I think, in my opinion, it was probably just

304
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 4: a scam.

305
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, okay, you and I are on the same page,

306
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: and you're right about that. I mean, I've even used

307
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: a compact mirror underneath the rim, and in fact, I

308
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: almost always talk about that first, but I didn't this time.

309
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: So that's a good tip. Well, yeah, we're up against

310
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: the break. One of the things that you're talking about, too,

311
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: is when the government started minimizing the amount of water

312
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: that can be used, and we all rush to all

313
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: kinds of things and definitely had trouble with toilets, that's

314
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,440

354
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: had numerous conversation with friends and acquaintances, and one fellow

355
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: was he was going on and on about how much

356
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: energy he is saved, and he was burning wood in

357
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: this fireplace and had a stove and split and wood,

358
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: and I thought, boy, I remember when I had a

359
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: wood burning fireplace. I just loved it. And then I

360
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: turn on the news and I see, as predicted, I

361
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: predicted this not a hard prediction at all. We always

362
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: see a lot of fires and problems like that this

363
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: time of year when weather's severe. So I thought, I

364
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: need to talk to Clark. And Clark is my fireplace

365
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: at Chimney Expert. He as a company in my hometown,

366
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: the Chimney Care Company, a CSI certified chimney sweep And Clark,

367
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: thank you so much for spending a little bit of

368
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: time with us. Thank you, No com let's talk about

369
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: you know you see it all. And I said, when

370
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: I reached out to you yesterday, can we talk a

371
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: little bit about safety and safety failures that you're seeing

372
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: or problems that you're seeing, and you're going, oh my gosh,

373
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: we got to get that fixed. Can you just kind

374
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: of walk us through maybe with wood burning fireplaces first.

375
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 5: Oh, yes, it's funny that you've reached out to me

376
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 5: when you had because I have a great example from

377
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 5: the previous night. Actually, every time there's a cold snap,

378
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 5: especially a relatively severe one like this, especially if it's

379
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 5: snowing and people can't leave their houses, people tend to

380
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 5: rely on their fireplaces for heat, whether it's supplemental or

381
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 5: power goes out, And a lot of the times those

382
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 5: fireplaces are only used in circumstances like that, so it's

383
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 5: never thought of to have them looked at, and so

384
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 5: people just don't know what's going on inside of the

385
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 5: chimney system if those flues are able to contain the

386
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 5: creasode and the heat. And then even more commonly than that,

387
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 5: a lot of people just don't realize that fireplaces have

388
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 5: to be swept. Even if you burn the cleanest, most

389
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 5: wealthyasoned hardwood, there's still going to be creoso build up

390
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 5: that can ignite and cause the chimney fire.

391
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: Sure, you bring up a good point chimney fires. My

392
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 1: understanding is you can have a chimney fire and not

393
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: know you had one, but then your your defense against

394
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: that fire is compromised and the next chimney fire might

395
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: get your house. Is that a true statement?

396
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 5: That's exactly right. Whether or not it's the masonry brick

397
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 5: and mortar fireplace or a metal fireplace system, each of

398
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 5: those types of systems are basically designed to withstand one

399
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 5: chimney fire. They can burn so hot that they can

400
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 5: actually damage the masonry lining, and they can actually chimney

401
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 5: fires they burned around two thousand twere degrees that can

402
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 5: actually reach the stainless steel lining of a metal chimney

403
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 5: and can cause it the rust in the future.

404
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: So, you know, leading up to the holidays at the

405
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: end of December, I would preach to people if you

406
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: have not had that chimney inspected in a couple of years,

407
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: or maybe you're a young couple when you just bought

408
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: the house, or you're an older couple when you downsize

409
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: and just bought the house. In other words, you don't

410
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: know what in the world's going on with that chimney

411
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: and fireplace. Do not burn the yule tide log, Okay

412
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: until that thing's inspected. And that's virtually what you're saying

413
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: about cold weather too, right.

414
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 5: Right, And I was going to bring that up as well.

415
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 5: People moving, buying new houses, downsizing, whatever it may be.

416
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 5: Often the fireplace is overlooked in the inspection period. Usually

417
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 5: home inspectors they're pretty open about they don't do an

418
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 5: in depth inspection of the fireplace, but then it just

419
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 5: kind of gets overlooked and then I come, you know,

420
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 5: a year or two later or whatnot, find all these

421
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 5: problems that you could have been caught during inspection. So

422
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 5: I'd definitely recommend having the fireplace looked at during the

423
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 5: buying process as well.

424
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I guess the bottom line advice is, again,

425
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: if you haven't had it looked at, clean door, given

426
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: it a little bit of love and over the last

427
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: two years, this is not a way to save money

428
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: on your utility bill, right.

429
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 5: Exactly, right.

430
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: So another question I get, and you brought it up.

431
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: You know you can do yourself a favor by buying

432
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: the right species of wood in the properly dried wood.

433
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: Can you give us some ideas on that for next year?

434
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 4: Yes?

435
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 5: So, I would say, especially those who plan on using

436
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 5: a wood stove or something like that for supplemental heat,

437
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 5: or even if you're just going to use the fireplace,

438
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 5: you know, on Thanksgiving and Christmas, I would are buying

439
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 5: wood now. It's kind of hard to source seasoned wood,

440
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 5: especially in the middle of winter. Sure, but if you

441
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 5: are buying your wood supply now for next season, it

442
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 5: doesn't really matter seasons they're not at this point because

443
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 5: it'll have all of the spring and summer and fall

444
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 5: to be seasoning in preparation for the next burning season.

445
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 5: And then in terms of species of wood, I am

446
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 5: really much less concerned with this species of wood that

447
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 5: people burn pine versus hardwood, as long as it is

448
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 5: well seasoned. I think that is by part of the

449
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 5: most important thing.

450
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: So one of the problems I think a lot of

451
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: people may have if they don't really know much about

452
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: a fireplace and they're burning it, and I'm sure you

453
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: can expand on that, is you start this fire, it's

454
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: cold out, all the kids are excited, We're going to

455
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: have a fire and a fire place, We're gonna watch

456
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: a movie, and the smoke starts coming down into the house.

457
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: What's going on?

458
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 5: There right almost always. I have found that that is

459
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 5: a pressure issue. So the newer house is typically the

460
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 5: more efficient. It is just by regulation essentially. So if

461
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 5: you have really efficient doors and windows that are not

462
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 5: allowing any air into the house, any appliance, anything in

463
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 5: the house that needs to operate with air is going

464
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 5: to get it from somewhere, and the chimney is basically

465
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 5: just an open airstack to the outside. So if you've

466
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 5: got if you I've had cases where a customer's fireplace

467
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 5: has worked for years and then they replaced all their

468
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 5: windows and then they've had a bad downdraft. So in

469
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 5: that circumstance, those people, I would definitely recommend starting by

470
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 5: just cracking open a window until they've got a lot

471
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 5: of heat going up the chimney, and usually that takes

472
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 5: care of the problem them.

473
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: So you need to be attentive when you're building a

474
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: fire I mean.

475
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 5: Right right one thing, especially if someone has not used

476
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 5: their fireplace in a long time, or ever it's new house,

477
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 5: I would probably recommend you can just go in there

478
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 5: and literally a lot of the time you could just

479
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 5: stick your hand in the fireplace and feel if there's

480
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 5: cold air coming down then you want to be really

481
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 5: mindful of that when you're starting a fire. Sometimes even

482
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 5: before you start a fire, if you feel cold air

483
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 5: coming down, you can crack a nearby window and that

484
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 5: might be enough to really reverse the death. Just on its.

485
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: Very good, very good. So when my buddy was telling

486
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: me about the and he was he was proud that

487
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: he was splitting wood and burning wood and saving money,

488
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: and that's awesome. I mean, that's awesome, ye, But one

489
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: of the things is in the back in my mind,

490
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: I was thinking, so, how do you you got any

491
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: tips on how to help circulate that heat that's coming

492
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: from that fireplace or stove to help it, uh, you know,

493
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: get around the house that I always found that bedrooms

494
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: then got really cold and my family room was really hot.

495
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 5: Right, So this is going to be a question that

496
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 5: can it just varies based on how the house is

497
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 5: set up. It really, I mean, a lot of people

498
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 5: have good luck just putting their central air system on recirculate. Okay,

499
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 5: that works for a lot of people just to get

500
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 5: to help get that air, that hot air out of

501
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 5: that room and moving around the ductwork. And then some people,

502
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 5: depending on the size and the shape of the house,

503
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,239
Speaker 5: if they're just really relying on what heat, they just

504
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 5: can use a box stand just to circulate that heat

505
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 5: out of the room. So like my house is I

506
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 5: I heat exclusively with wood at my house, and it's

507
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 5: my house is only about twelve hundred square feet, so

508
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 5: it kind of gets the job done on its own.

509
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 5: But I would yeah, putting the furnace ummer circulate.

510
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: So here's another question. I don't know if this is

511
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: anyone's frustration, but I can see where it would be.

512
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: So you work with a company of the Chimney Care company.

513
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: They do repairs, they do cleaning, they do inspections. This

514
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: time a year, are you focused more in like, oh boy,

515
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: this person really has a problem. We got to help

516
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: them out. Or in other words, is it seasonal? Obviously

517
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: this would be a problem of this would be a

518
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: time of high use in your services would be in demand.

519
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: How does that all work from a business perspective?

520
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 5: So I always try to communicate with our clients to

521
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 5: have us out. In a season they wouldn't be using

522
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 5: the fireplace, so if there are issues, they can be addressed. Now,

523
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 5: I understand that most people don't really know how fireplaces work,

524
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 5: or have even heard that advice. So what we basically

525
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 5: do is we have different days kind of blocked off

526
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 5: during the busy season for that for that case where

527
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 5: someone's relying on a wood still for heat and they

528
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 5: have a catastrophic problem that they weren't aware about, so

529
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 5: that we can get out to them and actually help

530
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 5: correct their issue in the middle of the winter. So

531
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 5: it's really a little bit of both big repairs and

532
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 5: service calls in the winter. But I really try to

533
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 5: recommend that people have us out in the spring and

534
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 5: summer trying to get ahead of the issue in the

535
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 5: first place.

536
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: I totally agree. If you ever get that accomplished, we

537
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: let me know first. It's like trying to sell snowshovels

538
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: in October. It's hard to.

539
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 5: Do, right right Yep, Yeah for sure.

540
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: Real quick, and I'm gonna let you go. Folks listening

541
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: right now, they got gas logs, and every boy, I'm

542
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: glad I'm not burning wood. I got this gas fireplace.

543
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: Do they need maintenance?

544
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 5: Absolutely so with gas logs in a fireplace, exact same

545
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 5: rules and regulations apply as if they were burning wood.

546
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 5: They'll have less heat and no creas so that could

547
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 5: cause a chimney fire. But they could still be letting

548
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 5: carbon monoxide ape in areas of the house they're unaware of.

549
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 5: There could still be clearance to combustible issues that could

550
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 5: be fire hazards. So for sure, I would recommend annual

551
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 5: inspections regardless of what type of fireplace you have.

552
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: I had some dirty pilot lights and issues like that too,

553
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: so you know, it burns for a little bit and

554
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: then just goes out. That doesn't sound good.

555
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 6: Exactly, all right, Clark, I promise you a quick interview,

556

611
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: about safety and fireplaces and kind of a conversation like

612
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: we had, and he said, we have to be safe

613
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:38,959

Speaker 1: very very important for your fireplace. It's not just a

616
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: matter of cleaning it. It's really a matter of inspecting

617
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: it with a camera and getting up there and doing it.

618
00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: I kind of a look see and at of the

619
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: entire chimney and firebox. Always a really good idea, and

620
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 1: I encourage if you're not going to do it now

621
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: and you have not done it, I would encourage you

622
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: not to use it and get it taken care of

623
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 1: during the summer and next fall before the season. Always

624
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: always a good idea things to look for. And I

625
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: want to tell you I was mentioning wildlife getting into

626
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: our homes right now. Just pay again, paying attention to

627
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: your house, looking at the roof. I've been talking about

628
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: that a lot. But if it's snow covered and you

629
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: see squirrel tracks or just a little tiny feet up

630
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: there around a ridge, vent pay attention to that. They

631
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: may be looking at trying to compromise that ridge vent

632
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: and get inside the attic. So that's something also to

633
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: pay attention about. All right, when everything melts and we

634
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: can quit talking about all the problems and everything. I

635
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: said it's going to be a repair year for the

636
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: spring and summer. I talked about concrete and steps and

637
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: everything else. That garage floor is another one. If I

638
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: were to put something on my list, and you know,

639
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: what are you going to do when all this gunk

640
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: is behind us, when winter is taking a hike and

641
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: spring is here. Boy, I'll tell you what I'm going

642
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: to do. In fact, here's something everyone should do if

643
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: they live in snow country with ice and rock salt

644
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: and all that is, get that rock salt off your

645
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: concrete surfaces right now. It's great if it's snowing every

646
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: other day because kind of pre treating of the concrete,

647
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: because remember when it gets wet and when snow melts

648
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: or it rains, you got salt residue on there. It

649
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: creates a salty brine solution, which is kind of compromising

650
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: your concrete. But it's also when it starts snowing again,

651
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: it's melting the snow. But when the snow is done

652
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: and that salty residue is on your driveway, sweep it up.

653
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: In fact, I had somebody Yesterdy'd tell me they sweep

654
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: it up and reuse it. Why not? But you know,

655
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks it gets warm, the melt

656
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 1: has occurred, there'll be a little fine layer. Just sweep

657
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: that up, get that out of there, and then you know,

658
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: pressure washer or hose and rinse that and get that

659
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: salt off. And in your garage, I said, what was

660
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: the first thing you're gonna do? Well, that's probably the

661
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: first thing I'll do. But when it comes to improving

662
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: an area of my home, the first thing I'm going

663
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: to pay attention to is my garage because I don't

664
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: know about you. When I'm using a snowshovel and a

665
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: snowblower and I'm driving the car and i'm driving it

666
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: in and i'm driving it out, and the garage is

667
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 1: a mess. Quite honestly, it's a mess. And for folks

668
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: that don't have a coating on the concrete, you probably

669
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: got some issues there with stains, maybe some spawling, maybe

670
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: it's slippery. Yeah, let's dress that up a little bit,

671
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: and it seems like that's a project I certainly tackle

672
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: every early spring. You know, get home base cleaned up,

673
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: get it respectable. And even after you reorganize and you

674
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 1: put everything away and you get it nice and clean,

675
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: are you going to improve the concrete floor. There's so

676
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: many great products out there now, really good commercial epoxies,

677
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: polyurea coatings, and just sealers, slip resistance sealers. We had

678
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: Peterdishan about four weeks ago talking about a product called

679
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: track Safe wonderful, And there's a lot of wonderful products

680
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: that you can do yourself or that you really have

681
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: to have a professional applying. But start doing that research.

682
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: If you're thinking about dressing up the garage. I know

683
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: I've got a couple cabinets, tall cabinets maybe four or

684
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 1: five foot cabinets with shelves in that I installed twenty

685
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: years ago. Well, I don't know about you, but after

686
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: there's cabinets are nice shelving in a garage, when do

687
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 1: you really go through that and really start cleaning up

688
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: the cabinets. It's kind of out of sight, out of mind.

689
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: And the other day I was looking inside one of

690
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: them and I'm pretty sure that what I saw, I

691
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: didn't take anything out, but what I saw, eighty percent

692
00:42:54,960 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: of it isn't used anymore. And you know, get that

693
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: stuff out of there. Don't be just throwing it in

694
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: the trash can. It depends what's in there. A lot

695
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: of it in our garages is hazardous waste, and you

696
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 1: can do that at a city or county drop off.

697
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: They have hazardous waste pickups and things like that. But

698
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: cleaning up the garage, I have that on my list.

699
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: That's my first project when we have a nice warm day,

700
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: cleaning it up, taking a look at the garage floor,

701
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: what needs to be sealed and patched, and cabinets that

702
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: can be emptied, and that's a that's the first thing

703
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: I'm teckling. Let me know yours our phone numbers eight
