Thanks for holding on, 12 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: Bill Welcome. 13 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 2: Hello, Yes, sir, Yes, we recently bought a house that 14 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: was vacant for like seven years due to a death 15 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 2: in the family. And we found some either raccoon or 16 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: catfiecevi's up in the attic and there was a little 17 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: spot of mold maybe twenty square inches under the kitchen cabinet. 18 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: The house has been repainted, and there might be a 19 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: little bit of green mold on the plywood in the roof, 20 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: but there's back bents at either end, and one of 21 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: this raccoon fieces is is over a carport. Open carport, 22 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: which there's no insulation in it. How do we correct 23 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: that problem? Is it correct? 24 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: Well? Is there insulation up there or no? No any insulation? 25 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: There's no insulation over the car part, and then there's 26 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 2: insulation over the rest of the house. 27 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: Okay, so have you I mean, I don't know how 28 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: big of a problem is. Obviously you have to physically 29 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: remove the feces, and then you can use a product 30 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: to you know, kill the bacteria and eliminate any smells. 31 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: So once you have cleaned it up, you could use 32 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: a product like the odor Exit Eliminator because it will have. 33 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: A lady at her home yesterday, ohful person about two 34 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: and fifty dollars worth of product from. 35 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: Well then I'm sure you've heard the whole story of 36 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: how works, and it does. It definitely eliminates the odor, 37 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: doesn't mask it. And that's really that's really what I'm worried. 38 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 2: If I rent the house out, you know, and clean 39 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: it up like that, Am I liable for anything for 40 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: not notifying the people that there were species in the 41 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 2: attic or anything? 42 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: I don't know that would have to probably maybe a 43 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: real estate agent can answer that. I don't know. I 44 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: mean There's definitely some things you have to disclose, but 45 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: I don't think that's one of them. I think this 46 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: is something that can be cleaned up and no reason 47 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: to notify. I could be wrong. That's something I would check, 48 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: but I don't think there is. There's a rental associations 49 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: and different things you can check with, but in fact 50 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: deb Meyer might even know that answer. But that product 51 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: will eliminate any odor. I mean, you won't be able 52 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: to tell there's anything there as far as the mold there. 53 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: There may be actually some see we don't know what 54 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: kind of species of mold it is or anything like that, 55 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: but anything under ten square feet is very doable by 56 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: a homeowner or a landlord. 57 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 3: Uh. 58 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: There's numerous products out there, and bleaching water is not 59 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: one of them. Bleach does not do a total kill 60 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: to mold or mildew. 61 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: I've used this product called serum before, which is aid 62 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: okay by a lot of mold companies okay, and that 63 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 2: seems to do the product. I had somebody from losing 64 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: mold clean up tear out to dry a wall coat 65 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 2: to two by fours with this serum, and I think 66 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: that's the and is for standard. What to use. 67 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know the homeowner buy that. I'm 68 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: not familiar with that product. 69 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 2: And be honest with you, Yeah, I've bothered online five 70 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: gallons of it's like two hundred dollars to. 71 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: Living Okay, okay.

It's kind of kind 88 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: of concerning, quite honestly, that where the EPA stating are 89 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: indoor air qualities five times worse the outdoor and that's growing. 90 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: I was kind of thinking, since we've been stating those 91 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: numbers for a while, that it had, you know, found 92 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: its area where it's going to stay. But I can 93 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: also understand why it's continues to get maybe a little 94 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: more concerning, and that is really we spend more time 95 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: in our homes, I think than we ever have kids 96 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: could too, and we're also I know, at least the 97 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: friends that I talked to were very concerned about utility prices, 98 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: and we continue to tighten up our home. In fact, 99 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: on my list today of things to talk to talk 100 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: about this weekend, there's numerous tips and numerous projects all 101 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: about weather stripping, insulation and underneath insulation. You know, I 102 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: always talk about ventilation, whether it's the attic or the basement. 103 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: They both have their issues and happy to chat about that. Also, 104 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: let's go to Tom. Tom welcome. I always about Hey Tom, 105 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: you gotta turn the radio down, all right, Tom? 106 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 4: Yep, Yeah, I got a couple of questions to turning roofing. 107 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 4: I've got a rental property. It probably built back in 108 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 4: the thirties, and the main roof itself from roof to 109 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 4: the shingle down to the gut or other I'm sorry, 110 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 4: is pretty steep and then on the left side the 111 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 4: same thing. But the house itself would only be twelve 112 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 4: foot wide if they did not add two rooms to 113 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 4: the left, So it's a kind of a narrow house 114 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 4: in a way. And they put a roof that's not 115 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 4: quite flat, but not much of a drop to it. 116 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 4: So I put row roofing on it initially, and the 117 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 4: two before studs are twenty four inches apart, two just 118 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 4: by two before. It makes it just a little week 119 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 4: up as far as walking around. And my question was, 120 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 4: or that ice guard do you supposed to nail that down? 121 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: Yes, underneath the shingles. 122 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 4: Yeah that Does that get nailed down? Or you just 123 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 4: lay it down? Does it kind of stick to it? 124 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: I thought it does kind of stick to it. I 125 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: really don't know. I've never put down the ice guard. 126 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: It'll it'll say on the directions on the package, but 127 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. 128 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 4: Okay, I go ahead. 129 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I know there's a little bit 130 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: of adhesive there, but I'd have to read to see 131 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: if it gets nailed down or not. 132 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 4: Okay, I bet, Like I said, I've had it for 133 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 4: probably fifteen years. I'm putting new row roofing on it. 134 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: As for roofing, well that's held up. 135 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, it's about worn up, but I've been doing 136 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 4: a lot of patching on it right having leaks because 137 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 4: there's not much of a slope there. The left side 138 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 4: is like about twelve foot two, you know, two bedrooms. 139 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: And the flatter it is, the more where it takes, 140 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: that's for sure. 141 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. So my question is, uh, if I put row roofing, 142 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 4: I put the ice core down first, and if I 143 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 4: start putting row roofing, is there any way that I 144 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 4: could lay the row roofing down without using nails at all? 145 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 4: Or I know you put I had to put a 146 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 4: lot of nails in him. I think it's roll roofing, 147 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 4: don't you. 148 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: Yes, general, Yes, And that. 149 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 4: Roof is kind of getting kind of a little weak 150 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 4: and plims in places because that twenty four inch. 151 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: Well I was going to say, I think your biggest concern, 152 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: quite honestly, is probably the structure itself. 153 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, the bottom. What's that is I can 154 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 4: go up into the attic where the steep roof is 155 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 4: at and you know, get around there, but where they've 156 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 4: made it sloped, I can't even get into. 157 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gotta have to be done from the outside. 158 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I what to do that. I had to start. 159 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: Taking it off, yeah exactly. I mean it's just it 160 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: would be. 161 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 4: A big job and I got renters in the house. 162 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is construction wrong. But the other good 163 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: news is it's been there for fifteen years, you know. 164 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: But that would be my biggest concern, quite honestly, would 165 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: be the structure itself, more than anything else. I think 166 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: you got it's it's lifetime for sure.

And 198 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 4: when you go into that room's actually you could almost 199 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 4: reach up and touch the ceiling. It's a little lower 200 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 4: ceiling too. The way, as far as the nails, you 201 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 4: don't have any any idea of any or them. About 202 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 4: eight to ten inches apart the nails. 203 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: As you're putting well again, in the world roofing, that 204 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: manufacturer will expressly tell you where that how many nails. 205 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: They want to authenticate or make the warranty active. So 206 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: you know, I was going to say eight inches. So 207 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: you know, I think I just follow exactly what it's 208 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: telling you how to nail it, because that's gonna, you know, 209 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: depend on whether that warranty stays in effect or not. 210 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 4: Right right, there's no way you would consider screws. Well, 211 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 4: inch and a half screws, I'm ill. 212 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm also sure you would need that, To be honest 213 00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: with you. 214 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 4: The wood itself throw it up. 215 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not so. I'm still not so sure you 216 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: need I think a roofing now would be fine. Like 217 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: I said, my main concern is the weight in the structure. 218 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: I think the nails will hold it down just fine. 219 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: Do it every six or eight inches or whatever the 220 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 1: manufacturers suggest. I think you'll be okay there, all right? 221 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 4: One other option, what what about roll roofing or rubber roofing. 222 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the rubber roofing is mainly used on flat roofs, 223 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: so you know, I think I would stick to that. 224 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I think your other option, quite honestly, the 225 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: way I really think, to be honest is to you 226 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: got to address that whole structure and I know you 227 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: don't want to, so if you're not going to address 228 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: the whole structure, I'd keep it simple with the roll roofing. 229 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: All right, quick breaking, Doug, You'll be up first.

We go at home with 361 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: Gary Sullivan talking a little home improvement, just looking up 362 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: on world roofing on one of the manufacturers. Because the 363 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: fellow was talking about, you know, how to nail that. 364 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: He wasn't asking how to nail down. He was just 365 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: given telling me how he was going to nail it 366 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: down this particular directions on this particular world roofing galvanized 367 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: roofing nails. Okay, so we got that one inch long. 368 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: We didn't get into the length. So the nails go 369 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: along the edges and seams, not randomly across the field. 370 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: You space the nails three to six inches apart on 371 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: the edges, twelve inches apart at the overlap areas. So 372 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: that would be the nailing instructions for that particular product. 373 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to the phone calls, and 374 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: we got Jim Jim welcome, Hi, Yes, sir, Hello, Yeah, Hi. 375 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 5: I wanted to check. I've got a whole house air 376 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 5: conditioning in the attic. The ductwork then runs to each room. 377 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 5: I've got condensation in the winter, and one of the 378 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 5: ceilings is pretty much ruined all around the event where 379 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 5: the water has been running out. Is there anything I 380 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 5: can do to the ducks in the attic to keep 381 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 5: that from happening? 382 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: To insulate them, you say, the problem of condensation is 383 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:04,719 Speaker 1: in the winter time. Yes, insulation will just create that 384 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: buffer even though there's heat going through it. You know, 385 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: the inside of that duckwork or the metals probably about 386 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: seventy eighty degrees and it's hitting that cold air that's 387 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: in the attic. In the attic, temperatures probably you know, 388 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: forty or so is creating compensation. So you will you 389 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: will kind of create like you know, an insulation kind 390 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: of like putting a huggy on a drink, right, you're 391 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: going to keep that bottle from sweating. So the same 392 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: type of thing, you would just get some duckwork insulation wrap, okay, 393 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: and that would prevent that. Help. Yeah, sure it will okay, 394 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: all right, thanks for your advice. You're quite welcome. Thank you, 395 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: and Deborah welcome. 396 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 10: Good morning, twenty year old barn with a dirt floor. 397 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 10: We've been doing a lot of the other restoration on it. 398 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 10: And the question the dirt floor is the last thing 399 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 10: to be dealt. 400 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 11: With so we can use it for storage and parking. 401 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 11: What's the best way to deal with that floor? And 402 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 11: the primary problem is that it flows significantly to the 403 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 11: back from all these years of use, so leveling it 404 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 11: is a big problem, a big issue. I'm looking for inexpensive. 405 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 11: I've gotten quotes on concrete you know that are quite high. 406 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 11: So I'm looking to spend a little less money than that. 407 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you use it for? Story? So let mean, 408 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: is there for the mechanical equipment that goes for. 409 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 11: Storage? 410 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 3: Yeah? 411 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: I would say with that concrete is going to be 412 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: your best bed. I mean, that's really the bottom line. 413 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: To be honest with you. You know, until you said 414 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: the car, I was thinking, well, you could do a 415 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: you know, like a giant deck in there if you 416 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: wanted to, and using you know, decking boards. But that's 417 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: not going to be the case if you're putting a 418 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: car in there. I guess you could do some asphalt. 419 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: It's gonna be less expensive. But ideally with vehicles and 420 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: all that, I mean, you're you're you're creating you know, 421 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: a building basically at this point, it's not an old 422 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: barn anymore. So, you know, I mean, your concrete is 423 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: gonna be your best bed probably you know, a minimum 424 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: of four inch four thousand PSI. Okay, I have one 425 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: underneath it. 426 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 2: M hmm. 427 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 11: What do you think about doing just a dirty, a 428 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 11: dirty gravel mix. We're in southern Indiana, you know, with 429 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 11: the lines, well you. 430 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 1: Know, yeah, I mean just like you know, fault gravel. 431 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: Those are other options, for sure. I mean I'm not 432 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: trying to say that's concrete's the only way to go, 433 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: but yeah, you could go to I guess maybe even 434 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: like a B nineteen and I think that's the number 435 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: of the gravel more of a limestone mix, and you're 436 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: gonna get you know, multiple inches of that you'd water 437 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: it down, compact it a little bit. I mean, it's 438 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: going to be cheaper than concrete. It's going to be 439 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: less expensive than asphalt. You can't leave a dirt obviously, right, 440 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: so you know concrete's going to be best, and then 441 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: you can take two steps down depending on you know, 442 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: where it fits in the budget. 443 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 11: Quite honestly, Yeah, yeah, I mean that's what we're looking at. 444 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 11: We've already spent, of course, the significant amount on the 445 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 11: roof and the painting on the outside, and we're you know, 446 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 11: trying to be cost effective on the on the floor. 447 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 11: Asphalt has actually been priced higher than concrete. 448 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: Was it really out wondering if it would be the 449 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: depending on the slope and all that and how much 450 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: they got to build up. I get it, I get it. 451 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 11: Yeah, concrete running five figures. 452 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're. 453 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 11: But okay, that's that's. 454 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 10: What we're hearing. 455 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 11: So it's just a question of the budget. 456 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's done. That always get to there if you 457 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: priced out anything Gramble at all. I'm just curious how 458 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: that how that even stacks up. 459 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 11: We haven't gotten a price yet on the gravel. The 460 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 11: guy who's supposed to come and do it locally has 461 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 11: been recommended. His wife's having a baby any time. Okay, Well, 462 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 11: I'm hoping that gravel is going to be down less 463 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 11: than five Okay, it's what we're hoping. So with a 464 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 11: skids here and a tamper and everything. 465 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: So you got one or two vehicles in there, is 466 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: it multiple vehicles? 467 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 11: One car one one one car plus you will turn 468 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 11: more and then storage. It's thirty six by thirty six 469 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 11: square foot area. 470 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you get something that's compacted pretty good with 471 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: limestone dust, you'd be all right with that. 472 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 11: Okay, all right, that's what we're hoping for. And the 473 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 11: old farmers around here recommended it, but everybody else was like, 474 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 11: go concrete and the budget. 475 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: Well concrete, budget concrete. You know, if there's if there 476 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: wasn't that problem with money, that would be the answer. Concrete. 477 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 3: Okay, akay, we do the best, thank you. 478 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: All right, thanks, take care alright.

I was right 492 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: around at the same time. I have never touched it 493 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: outside of when I was telling Andrea. I unplugged it 494 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: one time to see if it was working. There is 495 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: no filter, which is awesome. The only thing that I 496 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: see any wear and tear on, quite honestly, is the 497 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: plastic vent on the outside of the house. It's almost 498 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: got like a little blackish film on it, which is 499 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: probably more from the outdoor air than the indoor air 500 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: that I'm moving to. The outdoors right there is I 501 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: don't know if you keep tract of your humidity in 502 00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: your basement, I do I do, But to be I 503 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: leave mine on on. I don't even turn it off. 504 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 12: That's what I've been doing, and I thought, is that's 505 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 12: the right. 506 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 9: Thing to do? 507 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: But Okay, so you have it costs. Yeah, it's costs 508 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: so little to run that I just let it run 509 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: all the time. I don't think I've I've never seen 510 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: the humidity level in my basement drop below thirty percent, 511 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: and in the summer it probably holds it right around 512 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: fifty percent. And that's like golden So I just leave 513 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: it on. 514 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 12: Yeah, Okay, the other thing I got to answer, I 515 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 12: have one thought in my walkway where it's kind of 516 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 12: a big piece of concrete, it's settling on the one side, 517 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 12: you know, so uneven. I know you kept recommended companies 518 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 12: that will come out and jack that up to right. 519 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,719 Speaker 12: And I live in like south South Indiana, like Lawrence 520 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 12: First and not far from Ohio. Walking suck, so any 521 00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 12: company around here should do. 522 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: Well. I think there's a couple that would probably do 523 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: that Lawrenceburg area that are out of Cincinnati. One is 524 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: a one concrete leveling and I've had them out to 525 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: my house on a couple of occasions, and I believe 526 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: Dwire Concrete does concrete leveling also, and my guess is 527 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: they also cover that area. 528 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 12: Okay, perfect, I We'll check with us them. 529 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 10: I appreciate your help and that's all I want. 530 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: Very good.

Oh okay, all right, I got you. 592 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 9: A macerator. 593 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: Is it kind of like a grinder pump? 594 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, yeah, a grinding Yeah. And so the model 595 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 3: I have is a Sandy Compact and the machitrator went 596 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 3: out two weeks ago. I took the toilet out and 597 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 3: like I said, the Sandy Compact is a specific design 598 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 3: they make, and the masrator itself, it's under the toilet. 599 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 3: So you have your discharge from you you have your 600 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 3: discharge from your bowl, your your your main waste from 601 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 3: your bowl goes into the masonrator and then has the 602 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 3: pump the discharge that pushed up the waistline. 603 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 13: To the main sewage line. Long story short, I. 604 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 3: If it was a call because I don't have a 605 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 3: scope and I can't get there's a check valve in 606 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 3: there at the top of that pipe that way, I 607 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:10,439 Speaker 3: won't let. 608 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 2: Right, but I can't. 609 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 13: I can't. I have a break home. 610 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,399 Speaker 3: I cannot see that where the where the pipe comes 611 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 3: out of the wall. There, I see that it's about 612 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 3: an inch engine a quarter and it makes a ten 613 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 3: about eight to ten foot vertical run up to the 614 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 3: main line, I cannot see that. What I'm getting at 615 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 3: if that pipe was cogged at all, it ain't like 616 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 3: there was a rubber seal of valve in there. It 617 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 3: just could be tool paper and waste blocking that. And 618 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,879 Speaker 3: I haven't had that toiltat up at least ten twelve days. 619 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 3: In theory, you would assume I would see some sort 620 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 3: of moisture residue smell. 621 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 13: If that pipe was cogged with waste. 622 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 3: Then if I put my nose my nose, nat, we 623 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 3: smell nothing. What I'm getting at is I'm getting I 624 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 3: got ordered the new Mason rating pump. I needed a 625 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 3: seven hundred and seventy five dollars huh, But I got 626 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 3: it ordered. And I don't think I need to go 627 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 3: get one of those scopes with a camera on it, because, 628 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 3: like I said, there's not a drop of moisture at 629 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,320 Speaker 3: the bottom of that pipe where I see. There's not 630 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,439 Speaker 3: a bit of smell. I know, you can't say for sure, 631 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 3: but if it was called there would be tailtale signs 632 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 3: that I have, especially after ten or twelve days, I 633 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 3: would see something coming out of the bottom of that pipe, 634 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 3: worse smells, some sort of smell. 635 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 13: Coming from it. 636 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: I would think you would smell something, yes, And. 637 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 3: There's absolutely no smell whatsoever. 638 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: So when those pump broke, is that what happened to 639 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: pump does not function right now? 640 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 3: It was not when there was not underload. Yes, when 641 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 3: it was underload, it couldn't pump it up to us. 642 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 3: I'm a manace man at a plating place, so I 643 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 3: work on a lot like a diaphragm, pumps and motors 644 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 3: and whatnot. That mesrorating pump. I think it's the actual 645 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 3: blade itself. The way it's tapered pushes liquid. But when 646 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 3: I took it out not underload, it would push liquid 647 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 3: out of the discharge. But anytime I hook it up, 648 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,280 Speaker 3: it just it kind of grinded. 649 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 13: Underloaded. Don't have the strength to pump that liquid up right. 650 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 3: And that's where I'm at. 651 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 13: I'm worried that. 652 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 3: That there was a call in there because I don't 653 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 3: want to hook the new one up. I don't want 654 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 3: to go buy a scope really, but like there's no temp. 655 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,880 Speaker 1: I would I would think, you know, well, you know 656 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: exactly what I'm gonna say. I would think you're okay. 657 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 1: But you and I have been fooled many times where 658 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: we thought we were Okay, right, Yeah, I know you're concerned, 659 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 1: but you know the bottom truth is the only way 660 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: we'll know for sure is the scope. But I'd feel 661 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 1: you're in pretty good shape, yes. 662 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,359 Speaker 3: Because I don't want to hook up the new one 663 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 3: and tear it out because it goes to pump and 664 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,320 Speaker 3: it's you know, it can't break the pressure. But and 665 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,399 Speaker 3: I consider I just pended seven hundred and seenty five dollars. 666 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 13: You think i'd go spend a fifty or sixty bucks 667 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 13: A boy, the cheapest scope they got that, I just 668 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 13: to look. 669 00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 3: But that's it. And then last part of my here 670 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 3: I went and there's a Santa Pro because with that 671 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 3: Sandy Compact, the inlet water there's no tank, it's internal 672 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 3: under the bottom of the toilet, and there's about the 673 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,879 Speaker 3: three quarter wrenched water line coming off my main water 674 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 3: line that threads onto the main strader itself. It's going 675 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 3: three hookups, the main one from the bowl, the discharger 676 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 3: runs up the wall, and the water inlet. On that 677 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,800 Speaker 3: Sanda Pro is a different model. It has an actual 678 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 3: tank and the water hooks up like a traditional one. 679 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:28,240 Speaker 3: So I can't even buy a different model and change 680 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 3: the plumbing. 681 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 13: On it whatsoever. So I've got it ordered. Gary. 682 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 3: I really just needed someone to talk it through it. 683 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 8: Yeah, I got I got. 684 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 3: The one coming, and it'll be about six days. I'm 685 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 3: about to just take my butt up air and buy 686 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 3: the scope, verify that there's no call. Yeah, just you know, 687 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 3: just to prove my suspicions. 688 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: If there's not, yeah, and then yeah, that's the surefire 689 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 1: safe way. I mean, you and I both know that. 690 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: I would think you'd be okay, But good lord, I've 691 00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,399 Speaker 1: been surprised more than once. 692 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean I stuck one those. 693 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 3: I mean there's literally it's been there's nothing being attached 694 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 3: that it's been in my garage for two weeks. You 695 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 3: walk in that bathroom, you don't nothing. You smell absolutely nothing. 696 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 3: I mean I've shined the light, look up as far 697 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 3: as I can. It has a sweeping ninety about about 698 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 3: about a sixty eight and sweeping ninety. I can look 699 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 3: back to that first band. I mean, there's not a 700 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 3: drop of nothing in that pipe that wasn't there to 701 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 3: begin with. It's pretty basically clear. So I'm like, it's 702 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 3: a pretty confident. But considering like I just just talked 703 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 3: about almost. 704 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 13: Gonna do with that scope. It's just been a process. 705 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 3: My goodness, I got three boys and it's been the 706 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,359 Speaker 3: total one out and it's been a process, and I've 707 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 3: been Christmas. I've been not one to spend it. But 708 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 3: I got the motor pump ordered. I wanted to just 709 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 3: buy the scope and get it done with. 710 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, because the snake's really not gonna tell you 711 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: anything if you get that up there is there not. 712 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 13: You're gonna hit that check valve regardless. And now I 713 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 13: wonder what that is. I kind of got I got 714 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 13: a snake. I got it really gonna be able to see. 715 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, I think that's. 716 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 13: The last part of the question here. 717 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 3: Then I reckon if that checked out, the only thing 718 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 3: that could be bat is it wasn't opening of that 719 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 3: check valve went bad, because what is that check valve exactly? 720 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 3: That just a flap that when it goes out, it 721 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 3: was like a spring on it when it. 722 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 1: Almost almost like a check valve for a sump pump. 723 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 3: Okay, yep, so, but and I'd still be able to 724 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 3: if it was broken, it would still be able to lift. 725 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 3: There'd be no way it'd be broken where it was 726 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 3: sealed shut. 727 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 1: Correct, No, I can't think of one unless it was 728 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: somehow jammed. But I don't even know how it would jam. 729 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's basically I'll say, I'll say it's like 730 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: a tin can lid with a spring on it, right, 731 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 1: and the force of that opens up the passageway and 732 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 1: it just drops down like a flapper and a toilet. 733 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Because if it was broke, the 734 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 3: only it would really be broken if it wasn't ceiling 735 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,839 Speaker 3: when it went back down, and well that like would 736 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 3: come down and I'm doing that, so the part of 737 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 3: the lifting up, it really couldn't be broke on the. 738 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 1: Lift up, which is probably also telling you there's probably 739 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: not a blockage, but. 740 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 13: You know exactly. Yeah, like, thanks all, but I think right, take. 741 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:06,399 Speaker 1: Care ye, thanks all right, bye bye. Yeah. So there's 742 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,920 Speaker 1: a lot of things that check valves are. You know, 743 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: it's for your safety. I I remember, as a young guy, 744 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: had a house and I had a sump pump and 745 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:21,800 Speaker 1: this thing rain all the time, and UH started, you know, 746 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: trying to figure out why I was running all the time. 747 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: And basically what it was is the the the the 748 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 1: check valve was open all the time. It had failed 749 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,719 Speaker 1: and it was open all the time. So I'd pump 750 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 1: the water up and I'd have six foot drop on 751 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: that pipe and the water would discharge, but the water 752 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,880 Speaker 1: was left in the pipe would come down fill the 753 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: pit up again. The sump pump would turn on. So 754 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: you know, obviously if that was a problem, that waste 755 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 1: would be a problem, and he would know that there 756 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 1: was an additional block each I don't think he has that, 757 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,879 Speaker 1: all right. Our phone number it's eight hundred eight two three, 758 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 1: eight two five five. You can grab a line as 759 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: we continue.
