It's time to take calls, answer questions. We've got Thanksgiving
coming up Thursday. A lot of people are trying to
get the house ready. We're thinking about putting up Christmas lights,
We're thinking about, oh, what we should have done to

(03:19):
fix the house up before a company comes. Hey, you
got time, and if you don't get to it, it's okay.
But if you're ready to talk about it, that's what
I'm here for. So seven one three, two one two
five eight seven four. That's seven one three, two, one
two five eight seven four, And I'll see what I

(03:39):
can do to help you out here on Texas Home Improvement,
your Total Home Improvement source. With that, why don't we
jump into an email question here? Uh. This came from
Dan out of Crawley, and he says winter rising a
soft water system. Our water softener is located in the garage.

(04:03):
The person who installed it said to keep a space
heater aimed at the bottom of the resin tank whenever
the temperature drops to thirty two degrees or lower. We're
leaving town towards end of December, and I'm not safe
with leaving that space heater on while we're gone. Many

(04:23):
years ago, I forgot to run the space heater and
it did freeze up, snapping the plastic o ring retainer.
The original installer said to not use heat tape. What
are your thoughts on keeping that resin tank warm and
still be safe. Well, you don't have to use a

(04:45):
space heater that's aimed at the tank. Really, what you
got to do is keep your garage from getting so
cold that it freezes. Now, I'm not worried about it.
If it gets down to thirty two, I'm not even
worried about it, quite frankly, if it gets down to
twenty eight for one night. Where we run into trouble
is when it gets down below freezing for extended period

(05:07):
of times, especially when it's in a garage that way.
So how can you avoid this. Well, they do make
space heaters that are not the electric coils. It looks
like a radiator, the old style radiator types. It's got
an oil in it, and basically the oil heats up

(05:29):
and it just keeps the air in the garage warm,
and that's really all you're looking for. Some of the
other things though, that you could do is to simply
wrap it with blankets and stuff to keep it warm,
shut the water off to the house in case something
does happen. But unless we get down typically into the teens,

(05:54):
and it stays there, Normally something that's in the garage
is going to be okay unless there's a source of
air that's getting to it, you know, like it's right
next to the overhead door and there's a gap that's
allowing the wind to blow from the north straight against
that tank. Normally it should be okay. So, like I said,
I look at the weather before you leave, and if

(06:18):
it looks like you're going to be running into that
type of situation, then I would go ahead and put
one of those radiator style heaters in there. Let that
keep the room temperature good while you're gone. The garage temperature,
I should say, while you're gone. But in the most part, again,

(06:41):
unless we're getting down to an extended period of time,
stuff in the garage is normally gonna be okay, even
when the temperature outside is down to thirty two, because
you're away from the wind. You're in an enclosed space
that typically is not going to drop as cold as
the outside temperature unless it's there for like I said,

(07:03):
a couple of days at a time. Usually these overnight
freezes are not our big problem. Got a question seven
one three, two, one two, five, eight, seven four, And well,
since we're talking about that, since a lot of people
will be leaving town for the Thanksgiving holiday, shut the
water off. You know, if you're only going for a

(07:26):
day or two, I don't worry about that. But you know,
if you're leaving today tomorrow, you're taking the whole week off,
you're going to be gone until next weekend. Just shut
the water off to the house and don't worry about it.
You'll be you'll be able to turn it back on
as soon as you get home and everything will be

(07:47):
just fine. And then you don't have to worry about
if something does freeze and break it. I don't see
where we're going to get a major freezes in the
next week to worry about anyways. But I know there
is a some cold weather coming, and truthfully, I haven't
looked to see just how cold it'll get here, but
I don't I don't think it's going to be long

(08:08):
enough here that we would have to worry about it
even if it did get DOWNE all right again seven
one three, two one two five eight seven four, and
I'll see what I can do to help you out
here on Texas home improvement, uh Donald, He says, I
have an area between two single garage doors that is

(08:31):
leaning and there's a gap between the wall and the
garage door. I had a masonry company to take a
look at it. They said that I would need someone
else to do the structural work before they could repair
the brick. I'm not sure what type of contractor I need.
Do you have someone that could do this well? Most

(08:52):
of the time, when it's leaning like that, it's it's
probably a foundation issue. Now, it could be in the framing,
but usually the foundation movement is involved in it. So
give du West Foundation Repair a call at seven one
three four seven three seven one five six and let

(09:12):
them come out take a look, and I shouldn't say them.
Let us come out and take a look at my
company and we will see what it needs to to
get taken care of again. Seven one three, two one
two five eight seven four. This is a very long

(09:35):
email and I will probably have to shorten this up some,
but it came from Mark. He needs an economical price
to fix a gas line. I regularly listen to Texas
How Improvement with Jim Dutton on seven forty on Saturdays.
I think I have heard Jim on shows like this

(09:55):
for many years prior as I have listened to a
lot of seven forty. Well, I've been doing on this
show for twenty two On January third, coming up will
be twenty two complete twenty two years. We'll start our
twenty third year then. Anyways, he's never yet called in.
I'm fifty eight years old. My question now is that

(10:18):
I would like to get an estimate on a plumbing
job at my home. I'm going to try to give
the detail that you need, although I realize y'all might
need to make a visit. Well, anytime there's a bid
on something, people need to make a visit. Anyways, let's
see Centerpoint Energy came out changed his natural gas meter

(10:43):
in the backyard to a modern unit, while neither of
them him or his wife or home. The pipes entered
and which didn't. The pipes that entered at ground level
didn't surprise him, but he was told he smelled gas,
so they shut the gas off. He needs to have
it fixed before they can do anything. He has center

(11:05):
point text to show where they could see it. And
they sprayed soapy water and it was clear and there
was a leak. So the situation is it's a nineteen
sixty home backyard. The gas enters underground to near the
brick of the home. A pipe comes up vertically above
ground thirty two inches and changes the horizontal in a

(11:28):
short run meter where it another run and into the
elbow to the house. Okay, wow, he got a lot
of stuff here. Okay, it runs twenty six foots underground
to the garage. When it comes up, they can see
a path anymore, but it makes its way through the
framing to the water heater and ac furnace of the sides.

(11:52):
I'm going to jump down to what he's looking for here. Okay,
he's had somebody come out and take a look at it.
They both think he will need to get a task
requiring a permit, and they both value that at an
average of four hundred and eighty. They also feel he
needs a water heater drip thing for two fifty to

(12:13):
four hundred. The plumbing bids are twenty one forty four
up to four thousand to put all the stuff on,
get the gas line recertified and ready to go. These
have going to pick who you're comfortable with. That price
range is very reasonable and yes, I heard the music
to get it going and look plumbers charged by the hour.

(12:36):
I'll address this a little further when we come back
with more Texas how improvement. Let's talk about Citadel Security
Services though, because if you are like me, you hate

Speaker 5 (15:35):
I no no.

Speaker 7 (15:40):
Have a happy Thanksgiving from your Total home Improvement Source
and Jim Dutton.

Speaker 9 (15:47):
Hey, welcome back to Texas Home Improvements, your Total home
Improvement Source. Look, you're looking for a contractor. And we
were just talking about this guy looking he's got a
bid from twenty one to forty four to four thousand
and five. So how do you choose which one to
go with? Well, obviously you got to go with the
first of all, the one that you're comfortable with. If

(16:09):
you're not comfortable with the information you're getting from one,
don't go with them just because they're cheaper. You know
why they're cheaper. You're not comfortable with them, and there's
probably a reason. So you got to be first comfortable
with whatever contractor you're hirghing. Now check them out. One

(16:29):
of the big ones on plumbers, make sure they got
a darn license. I am shocked at how many people
are out doing plumbing work and don't have a plumbing license.
And I don't mean they're working for plumbing companies. I
mean they are out selling themselves as a plumbing company
and don't have a darn license. Unbelievable. Make sure they

(16:54):
can pull a permit, because if they can't pull a permit,
chances are good they don't have any insurance and they
don't have a license, and you don't want them working
on your home then, especially gas lines h and this
is just for plumbers in general, and you can check

(17:14):
with like who their supply houses are and things like that,
as far as are they paying their bills to do
a little background check out. I'm not a huge fan
of the BBB. I've never made any bones about that,
but you can call and see if there's unanswered complaints
and that will help you as well. So again, but

(17:39):
the big one is you got to be comfortable with them. Now,
typically a thief and if you yeah, you heard me,
do the a spot for citadel. I don't like a thief.
And and normally someone who's trying to pass themselves off
as a good contractor is going to be a pretty
darn good con man. Uh so it you got to

(17:59):
be careful when you trusting face value, go by that
gut instinct and if something doesn't seem right, usually it's not,
and move on, get another opinion from somebody and another price,
and you'll be happier with it. I'm gonna let that
one go with that. Got a question seven one three,

(18:20):
two one two five eight seven four. That's seven one three, two,
one two five eight seven four. Any home improvement question
you have, feel free to pick up the phone, Give
me a call and I'll see what I can do
to help you out here on Texas Home Improvement again.
Seven one three, two one two five eight seven four.

(18:42):
I got excuse me, I had to shut the mic off.
I had to cough there for a second. And I
will see what I can do again. Let's see this
come from Hardy is the guy's name in Huffman. He

(19:05):
wants to remodel a double wide manufactured home. What kind
of contractor do you need? Well, you need one who
works on mobile homes, manufactured homes. And why is that?
Because even though they will tell you, oh, our construction
is the same as a regular house. We use two

(19:26):
by fours, we do this, we do that, it is different.
And you've got to have a contractor who's willing to
work with some of those differences. Now, where are you
going to find one? That always becomes a big question.
Here's what you do. Go to some of the yards

(19:47):
where they sell mobile homes, because when they move them in,
they got to do some remodeling to them. They got
set up and fix issues. They've got people that they
use that they can refer you to. And then you've
got somebody who they are used to working on the
mobile homes that way, so that would be the direction

(20:10):
I would head with it again. Seven one three, two
one two five eight seven four. Greg. This is Jim.
How can I help you today?

Speaker 10 (20:25):
Yeah, Joe, I've got a question about a luxury vinyl
plank flooring.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (20:30):
We're going to put that in a house.

Speaker 6 (20:32):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (20:33):
And when we pull up the carpet in the pad
underneath it, you know, we're down to this slab in
another room in a kitchen. It's already got a sheet
vinyl or linno him or something on it that's glued
down really good. The question is this on these luxury
vinyl planks that we've looked at, and we looked at
the higher end ones, they have a backing already on them, right,

(20:54):
Do we need another backing or underlayment on the floor
before that or is what comes with it enough?

Speaker 9 (21:02):
You got to read the box or the warranty paperwork
that comes in the box, because some of them are
very specific that if you put an underlayment you avoid
the warranty. Oh okay, and some of them will require
it for the warranty so uh. And it's not per

(21:23):
manufacture new core. They'll have some that we will require
an underlayment and some that won't. So you're just gonna
have to check each the style that you're wanting to
put in to figure out whether it wants it or not.

Speaker 10 (21:37):
Okay, Well, the ones we've looked at seem to say
you don't need it, and I had a neighbors that
where you got to put it in.

Speaker 9 (21:44):
Now, if it says you don't need it, don't. Yeah,
if it says you don't need it, don't put it
because it would void the warranty.

Speaker 10 (21:51):
Okay, all right, well that's that clarifies that. Thank you
very much?

Speaker 9 (21:55):
Will you thank you having have a happy Thanksgiving you. Hey,
let's talk real quick about due West air conditioning. You know,
air conditioning is one of those things we all need. Yeah,
here in Texas we need it. A lot of times
people say, now it's a want they'd lived for years
without air conditioning. Yeah, how well did they live? Our

(22:18):
lifestyles are different now we need air conditioning and do.

conditioning needs, whether you're just need to get your system

(22:39):
your system is already ten years old, it's out of warranty.
Time for a new one. Do you replace your car
just because it's out of warranty? Why are you replacing
the AC system because it's out of warranty? Get a
second opinion? Call Due West. That's seven one three four
seven three seven one five six.

Speaker 7 (23:00):
Helping you save money without being as cheap as a
data to chicken range.

Speaker 8 (23:05):
Here's Jim Dunton on Texas Home Improvement.

Speaker 9 (23:11):
Hey, welcome back to Texas Own Improvement. Your total home
improvement sour seven one three two one two five eight
seven four. That's seven one three two one two five
eight seven four Again. Any home improvement question you have,
pick up the phone, give me a call. Let's talk
about it here on Texas Own Improvement. So I got

(23:31):
an email from Tommy out of Pasadena asking about a
breaker box replacement, and he says, what kind of contractor
do you need? Well, you need an electrician. Uh, give
Right Touch Electrical a call and they'll be able to
help you out with that. You can call them at

(23:53):
two eight one six four five fifty five twenty six.
And look, this is for everybody listening. If you've got
the old Federal Pacific box still in your home, get
it replaced. I mean, those things have been hazardous for
years already, and I know you're thinking, well, I haven't

(24:15):
had any issues. I don't need to worry about now.
Once you have an issue with it, it is too late,
and the Federal Pacific boxes are just plain dangerous. So
it's time to go ahead and get that changed out
and replaced again. If you've got a home improvement question
seven one three two one two five eight seven four.

(24:39):
That's seven one three two one two five eight seven four,
And I'll see what I can do to help you
out here on Texas Home Improvement. Your total home improvement
source mac out of Dickinson has a sub floor question.
He says, uh, hi, Jim, I'm having a problem with

(24:59):
my sub floor rotting. My house is on block and beams,
and the previous owner lived in the house for thirty
years and only had a few rotten spots. I replaced
all the subfloor with one in an eighth advance tech
tongue and groove. There was water getting under the house,
so I had to replace the sub floor again. I

(25:22):
also grated the yard away from the house, and I'm
sure I stopped eighty percent of the water coming under
the house this last time I replaced the sub floor
in the master bedroom, I used regular tongue in groove
plywood and rolled a waterproof coating underneath to stop the
subfloor rotting. Well, within six months, the flooring in our

(25:44):
bedroom started buckling. I removed the flooring today and there's
mold on the plywood underneath the flooring. For the flooring,
I have new Core waterproof vinyl flooring. Not sure where
that just came from. Uh, with new Core waterproof vinyl

(26:05):
flooring with cork underneath it, can you please help? Look?
New Core is a great floor I've used it several times.
But what happens is the vinyl keeps the AC system
from deshumidifying under the floor. And so now what you're
getting is you're still gonna You know, you've you got

(26:27):
rid of eighty percent you said of the moisture the
water coming underneath the house. So you still got water
going under the house. Now you've got this vinyl floor
on top that is keeping the AC from taking the
moisture out you're creating a wet spot between the flooring
and the subfloor. That's where the mildew's coming in. Uh,

(26:48):
we've got to address the cross space and it may
require encapsulation. But the first thing to look at is
what do we got for ventilation? Can we get it
all if there's water or sloped into one spot where
we can pump it out, control the humidity level with
ventilation and get this under control. And uh, in some cases,

(27:09):
and it's not a lot, but in some cases it
does require what's called encapsulation, where plastic sheeting goes down
to keep the moisture that's in the soil from getting
into the crawl space and then you proper ventilate everything
and that controls it, I think. And as that's especially
if you're going to go with any type of vinyl

(27:30):
planking floor and stuff like that. So, uh, that's a
direction I would say it needs to go to if
you want to get due West out to take a
look at. It doesn't cost you anything and you can
at least get an opinion as far as how we
can get this under control. Call due West. That's seven
one three four seven three seven one five six. Now,

(27:53):
if you've got a home proven question again, it's seven
one three two point two five eight seven four. Let's
head to northwest Houston and Jeff, this is Jim. How
can I help you?

Speaker 5 (28:04):
Hey, Jim, how are you?

Speaker 9 (28:05):
I'm doing great? How about you?

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Great?

Speaker 5 (28:09):
We are looking at a home out there like Livingston,
and it's built around twenty ten. And in the attic,
the underside of the roof has been sprayed with a
foam insulation as opposed to the blown in insallation I've
normally seen anything in particularly I concerned about with that
type of inslation.

Speaker 9 (28:30):
You know, actually there is the insulation itself works great,
don't get me wrong. And basically what you're doing is
your attic is now heated and cooled just like the
rest of the house. Not quite to the same degree,
but it is. He didn't cooled. We' we're running starting
to run into trouble. And it started in England first,

(28:51):
and it is happening in the United States now. And
I warned everybody about this about two years ago. Insurance
comes companies are some of them starting to exclude any
type of coverage for that roofing, decking, wood rotting, leaks
and all that kind of stuff because that foam gets

(29:13):
up there and you don't see when there's a water leak,
it gets into the foam, it holds the water against
the wood and rots that roof out before anybody knows
there's a problem. And so some of the insurance companies
are now excluding the foam homes like that from having

(29:35):
that type of coverage, and so that that is really
the only big issue with it.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
Gotcha, is that the kind of question that the insurance company's
going to ask me when I sign up for I'm assuming.

Speaker 9 (29:49):
Yeah, they're going to ask you, what do you have
for insulation? And uh, is it on the roof deck?
Because what they what's what started happening to them is
that material was on there. They would even when they
came out in England especially is where there's like I said, started,
They would go out to do an inspection. They'd pass it.

(30:09):
Everything looked fine, but they really couldn't see the deck
and they couldn't see the two by in our case
here like two by eight or six is because they
were covered with foam and it ended up they were
rotten and they ended up buying a lot of structures
because of it.

Speaker 5 (30:28):
So if I'm concerned about that. Can that phone be
taken taken off?

Speaker 9 (30:32):
Yes it can. It's it's a lot of work, but
it can be.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
Gotcha.

You know USA Insulation talking about foam insulation, because you've
heard me say this for years. Put foam in the walls,
breathable insulation in the attic, inch for inch. You cannot

(31:05):
beat foam insulation. The only place so far that people
have had issues is with the roof deck that way.
So call USA Insulation and get your existing home raised
in the R value. I did my house and I
did mine a little over a year ago. My house
was built in seventy three. I had R eleven in

(31:27):
the walls. Now I'm like an R twenty five, R
twenty six, so much more energy efficient, quieter, comfortable. Love
it you will too. Call USA Insulation at four zero
nine three one six ninety nine fifty seven. That's four
zero nine three one six ninety nine fifty seven. Let's

(31:49):
head over to Fort Worth and Garry.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Thank you, Jim on your head there ready, Seal. I've
got some garage doors. I put it on about two
years ago. It works great. The Ready Seal looks just
as good as the day I put it on.

Speaker 9 (32:01):
Ready Seal, you know, spray it on, roll it on,
brush it on. You don't have to worry about laps
or streaks, runs, any of that stuff because of the
way it soaks deep down into the wood fibers. It
takes care of all of it. And it's available everywhere.
But to find a store nearest to you, go to

(34:37):
the walls. It really is a great process. Call them
four zero nine three one six ninety nine fifty seven,
and I thank them for taking care of this portion
of Texas home improvement. Now, if you've got a home
improvement question seven one three two one two five eight
seven four heading to West Houston, Steve, this is Jim.

(34:58):
What can I do for you?

Speaker 11 (35:01):
Yes, sir, I heard you talking about the federal electrical
boxes and I wanted to get your opinion on this.
I have the original electrical box. This house is sixty
four years old. It's original, it's not it's not federal.

(35:21):
It's square D. But I've never had any trouble. A
few months ago one of the breakers needs replacement, and
a month after a second one. But they were very
difficult to find. Yeah, you couldn't and finally got them.
But it was mentioned to me that it's not going

(35:44):
to get any better. You probably should go ahead and
replace it. It's done good service for you for this
many years.

Speaker 9 (35:51):
Yeah. Well the Square D, the Square D is still
top of the line equipment. Uh. The issue you run
into is it's just old. It's kind of like an automobile.

Speaker 12 (36:04):
You know.

Speaker 9 (36:04):
You take a I've got a sixty four Chevy pickup.
When I take it in to have somebody look at
the carboy, they say, what's that? And your electric box
is kind of getting to be that way. It's just
old technology and the newer stuff doesn't fit the old box.

Speaker 11 (36:25):
Would you say, it's never given me any polls in that.
I don't think it's dangerous to you.

Speaker 9 (36:34):
No, the biggest issue you're going to run into is
just as time goes on, not being able to get
the right breakers. Yes, now are the new ones? Are
the new ones going to be a little safer? Sure,
because technology has changed, But like you said, you haven't
had issues with it. But I will tell you my

(36:55):
house was built in seventy three and I did replace
my electric panel to upgrade it to it. But that's
already been twenty years ago.

Speaker 11 (37:06):
I know you recommend right touch, but can you give
me I mean, you can't speak for them. I understand
but just between you and me, can you give me
any ballpark figure of what it would be to change
the electrical box?

Speaker 9 (37:25):
How big a house with.

Speaker 11 (37:27):
Oh small, fifteen hundred square feet?

Speaker 9 (37:33):
You are probably going to be somewhere between, and this
is strictly a ballpark, my guess is somewhere between ten
and fifteen thousand.

Speaker 11 (37:46):
Oh god, damn, excuse me.

Speaker 9 (37:53):
Oh I'm sorry. I was rewiring the whole house. You're
just doing the breaker box. You're probably for the just
a acre box three four thousand tops, Okay, so like it,
you know.

Speaker 11 (38:05):
Because they I was told it does not need to
be rewired.

Speaker 9 (38:09):
Yeah, yeah, if you don't need rewiring, yeah, you're probably
three four thousand. Uh well, now after after I told
you that the ten to fifteen thousand, you'll probably have
to have a new circuit put in for a defibrillator
to get your heart going again. But that's you know.

Speaker 11 (38:27):
Thank you so much. I appreciate your time and your expertise.

Speaker 9 (38:31):
Not a problem. You have a happy Thanksgiving.

Speaker 11 (38:34):

eight seven four let's head the Beaumont Jerry, Welcome to Texas.
Home improvement.

Speaker 6 (38:51):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
I got a question now. My wife warned me about
not being the She said, you're not going to be
the contract arm when I remodel, and I didn't listen
to it. Now I realize what she is talking about.
I have we're about to move in. I got it
everything she rocked up. Well, I've got these vents in
the bathrooms and I forgot to put a pipe on

(39:14):
them and vent them out. Okay, so they're just blowing
into the cross space if if I use them. What
kind of problems am.

Speaker 6 (39:21):
I going to have a lot?

Speaker 9 (39:25):
You're going to be promoting molding stuff up in the
attic by doing that. Okay, Now, do you have attic
space that you can get to where that's at?

Speaker 4 (39:38):
No? No, it's a two story.

Speaker 9 (39:42):
You are not going to be popular with your wife,
are you.

Speaker 6 (39:45):
Well?

Speaker 4 (39:46):
You know she doesn't listen to the show. But uh,
some of my buddies do. So I'm gonna get I'm
not gonna talk too much because they recognize my voice.
They'll tell her. I'm not telling her.

Speaker 9 (39:59):
Okay, Look where's it blowing to right now? You said
it's blowing into the attic?

Speaker 4 (40:03):
I thought, well, no, not madic just the cross the
in between the floor.

Speaker 9 (40:09):
In between the two floors. How far from the outside
wall is the.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
Fan not a long ways? About fifteen f eight?

Speaker 9 (40:20):
Well that's long ways when you uh.

Speaker 6 (40:25):
I'll ask you this real quick.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
If I use it in the home we're living in
right now, we don't even have one, and I don't
know if we'll use them. Yeah, if I were to
use it, and then after all the marsher is out
of the room, out of the room and everything, if
I leave it after it's clear in there and I

(40:48):
and I leave it blowing, would that maybe help dry
it up?

Speaker 9 (40:53):
No, it would make it even worse.

Speaker 6 (40:57):
Okay.

Speaker 9 (40:59):
My suggestion would be if the if the and I
know I've got to go to break but if you're
ceiling joys are running the right way, drill a hole
in the outside, pass a pipe back in there, pull
the the uh fan out, hook a flex holes up
to that pipe, and put it back up in.

Speaker 4 (41:19):
You Okay, Well, I think the jars running the way
wrong way.

Speaker 3 (41:24):

be pulling sheep.

Terryan League City, Welcome to seven forty kt H.

Speaker 11 (49:04):
Thank you.

Speaker 14 (49:05):
I was just listening to the last caller about the
bathroom vents, and it reminded me that I have a
question about a home we just moved into. There's no
bathroom vent in the master bath, but there is a
window in the shower, which is odd. I wondered if
there's a way to use that to vent out. But

(49:26):
then in the winter it would be awfully cold. So
I just wondered if you had any ideas.

Speaker 9 (49:32):
Well, you open the window in the winter, it's invigorating.

Speaker 14 (49:36):
Yeah, I don't think my mom will feel that way
about it.

Speaker 9 (49:44):
Well, okay without opening the window. No, there's not a
way to use that opening. I mean, I guess you
could reframe it, and then you'd have to put a
fan up in there, and it just wouldn't look right.
It is not that difficult to add a ceiling fan.
And the reason I was asking the previous call if

(50:06):
he had attic space above it, I would have had
him just run the pipe over to the eve and
you can drop it out through the eve of the
home through the soffit boards. And so if it's one story,
you can do that on a two story, depending on
which direction. The joys that are running up in that

(50:27):
ceiling dictates which way you would run your.

Speaker 14 (50:31):
Vent pipe, right, so I would just open up a
hole on the ceiling and.

Speaker 9 (50:38):
Well usually you can figure you can figure it out
which way they're running without having to open the hole.
Is there addict space above it?

Speaker 14 (50:48):
I believe so.

Speaker 9 (50:50):
Yeah, So it's really just a matter of looking up
in the atticts see which way the joysts up there
are running, and then you can decide where you can
run it.

Speaker 14 (51:01):
Okay, okay, well maybe that's something I can handle myself. Nope,
thank you for your information looking at.

Speaker 9 (51:10):
The direction, it is something you can handle yourself. When
it comes time to actually put the fan in, you're
going to need an electrician too, because it's going to
have to have wires run for it.

Speaker 14 (51:20):
Oh right, okay, okay, all right, thought you take care,
Thank you, Happy Thanksgiving you too, Thank you.

Speaker 9 (51:32):
And again our number seven one three, two, one two
five eight seven four frankin rose Hill. Frank, I've heard
rose Hill before? But where is it?

Speaker 2 (51:46):
I'm betweenty tom Ball and homuh Hockley okay off twenty nine. Yeah,
it's out that misky way. Okay, and uh, I got
a question. I don't know if you can help me
maybe one of your UH followers or heros out there,
ken I sometime back we built this home back in
ninety eight or with their own hands, and we used
reconditioned or refurbished material on all of it. When hardy

(52:09):
plant came out, which wasn't even known it was called
concrete fiberboard, we use that for sighting, so we'd never
act to paint again. We use a heavy industrial grade
commercial metal for our roof. And just recently I had
come into some things that happened to me in my
life here, and now I'm having I take care of

(52:29):
all this. I noticed my insurance company that I've had
for since nineteen seventy eight, my wife and I now,
all of a sudden, I'm looking at my policy here
last month, and it shows that I have a corrugated
composition the roof is what they're saying I have. And
I call and questioned this, and I guess that was

(52:50):
a mistake because they said somebody in their firm rewritten
the policy into saying that I had composition shingles instead
of a metal roof. I said, is this why you
wouldn't accept my claim that I had two years ago?
When that ice storm came through, and then last year
I had it. The second time it went through or
limb went through one of my metal roofs, which you
have to have a pretty good sized limb to bust

(53:12):
through a metal roof and cause the damage. The people
that came out here and look at it were not
with that insurance company. They were a specialty team that
came out and did all the assessments and told me
that my roof is then correctly installed. I said, how
is that possible? I said, I got eight inch running
off on both sides of it, which actually is air

(53:32):
vined up at the top of the crown. I said,
it's impossible for you to say that. I just had
it rescrewed and filled. I said, so what are you
telling me? Now I find out why they didn't accept it,
because they're saying that I have composition shingle on my roof.
So now they changed it back to metal, raised my rate.
And now I'm trying to figure out if what do
I do because this hole in the roof had to

(53:54):
be patched by me with blackjack and that's not what
I want. So I'm trying to figure out how do
I go about taking care of this with the insurance
company if they had already came out and did an assessment.
But they don't see that it was metal. They're seeing
it as composition. I mean, this is probably way out there,
but no, I thought i'd hit it.

Speaker 9 (54:16):
Was actually gone, because you you know, you should be
able to show pictures from at some point at the
time that you know there was a family picture taken
or something of a kid and that metal roof is
up there, that can show that that roof has been there.

Speaker 12 (54:35):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Oh, theyen back since ninety eight, Yes, yeah, we do.
They have it in two thousand and twenty and twenty.
Wouldn't that ice storm hit twenty twenty one? Yep, nothing
happened to my roof. Then just within a year or
so back we or just within the last year, we
had that windstorm and tornado come through here. But it
ribed some siding off, it damaged my roof with the limb,

(54:58):
and it kind of destroyed half for my structure out
there in the back.

Speaker 9 (55:02):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
And they took care of the structure of the fence,
the siding, but they denied my roof and wouldn't even
talk about it, and they wouldn't tell me why now
I'm finding out why because who and their farm changed
my contract composition to the battle. That makes no sense
to me, and I'm wondering do I go legal or
I mean, that's a harsh thing to say.

Speaker 9 (55:22):
What you actually need to do is get a public
insurance adjuster.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Okay, that's a good thought because.

Speaker 9 (55:34):
And granted they're going to take a piece of the collections,
but that's what they do is go in and fight
these guys when they make mistakes like that.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
I have heard one advertise on TV. I might have
to give him a call, and I really hate to
go to the extent because we've had this large company forever,
but it seems like their quality is really.

Speaker 9 (55:57):
The unfortunate thing is these large companies like that on
the insurance companies, they don't care how long you've been
with them, right, They look at it every year.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
It's a new year, that's said. And I appreciate your time.

Speaker 6 (56:11):
Chief.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Y'all all out here, stay safe and have a blessed thanksgiving.

Speaker 9 (56:15):
You as well. Thank you, take care and yeah, when
you're dealing with your insurance company and you're disagreeing with
what their assessment is, that's where the public adjusters come.
In uh. Can you go legal with an attorney, Absolutely,
and sometimes the public adjuster will bring in attorneys to

(56:37):
do that as well. But you know, a public adjuster
is typically a lot less expensive than an attorney. And
just a little fyi. Insurance companies do not want complaints
with the state Board of Insurance, and so when you

(56:57):
find one, like in this case, they had it down composition.
It's been metal all along. Somebody made a mistake and
they denied the claim. You can go through the State
Board of Insurance to put pressure on them as well
by filing a complaint, and they want to get that resolved,
So that gives you another option to head down. All right,

(57:21):
you got a question seven one three two one two
five eight seven four. That's seven one three, two, one two,
five eight seven four talking about roofs. Let's talk about
Guardian roof systems. Because if you're looking for a roofing
contractor who can take care of all your roofing needs,

(57:42):
Guardian roof Systems is that contractor. I mean, whether you
got a metal roof like he was just talking about,
you've got a shingle roof, flat roof, doesn't matter. You
want to get a nice clay tile up there or
something exhausts like that. Hey, Guardian Roof Systems can handle

(58:03):
that for you as well. I've had them do several
roofs for me. They do a great job. And the
nice thing about dealing with them they stay up to date.
Technology changes, how you do things changes, and Guardian Roof

five eight seven to. Four, No i'll see WHAT i
can do to help you out here On Texas Home.

(01:02:06):
Improvement all? Right kind an email come in From navin
In paarland about garage attic storage. SPACE i have a
relatively newer home built in nineteen or. Twenty the space
above the garage has a separate attic space not connected

(01:02:26):
to the main. Attic the bottoms choice look to be
two by eight that span the attic. Space who CAN
i contact review that area and let me know IF
i can use some of that space for, storage holiday, decorations.
ETC i have read the bottom framing is not generally

(01:02:50):
designed for, weightloads but most of WHAT i have seen
is for bottom framing built from two by four and
these are bigger than a two by. Four, okay there's
actually and you can actually pull this up. Online there's
tables that will tell you the span of the. Boards in,

(01:03:14):
fact this is SOMETHING i don't normally. Do But i'm
gonna pull it up and we'll take a. Look i'm
gonna go online and pull it. Up right, now we'll
look at let's see two by, eight and there we
go spam chart and it'll give you several charts to choose.

(01:03:40):
From and the first one that came up rafter, spacing
center to, center what your distance, are and it's a
two by. Eight you can go twenty one. Seven and
all that means is you can put some load on,
there and it'll give you the different grades like number,
one number, two selected, structural all these distances and all

(01:04:07):
of them are designed to have some load on. Them so,
yes you could go ahead and put something as far
as plywood on top of. It, NOW i don't have
how wide your garage, is but the average garage is,
typically you, know twenty one. Feet we'll, say and let's.
See so if we go on AND i don't have

(01:04:29):
how far apart your joyce, are but, well let's just
say it's a standard sixteen. Foot you can span nineteen
foot seven if you're using a, structural if you're use
a number two, lumber which typically is what's used you
can go sixteen foot, two chances are you're kind of

(01:04:51):
maxed out on. It but if you want to put
a sheet applywood up near one of the edges to
put some stuff, On, HONESTLY i don't think it would
be a huge. Problem. Uh it becomes a bigger problem
if you start loading it up with, stuff so, uh
that's real heavy and you get out in the. Middle

(01:05:13):
the closer you get to the, middle you, know the
the more likely it's going to be that it's going
to sag some on. You but as far as who
you need to, call you really. Don't just just base
it off the charts and you should be. Fine but
if you do actually have two by eight's up, there
if you want to put some sheet apply word or

(01:05:36):
two up there for Like christmas decorations and things LIKE i,
said keep it over to one of the edges and
you should be. Fine got a, Question pick up the,
phone give me a. Holler seven one three two one
two five eight seven. Four that's seven one three two
one two five eight seven, four And i'll see WHAT

(01:05:57):
i can do to help you. Out this weekend Before,
thanksgiving where you know we're gonna have lots of people coming,
over we're gonna plug up our sewer pipes because we're
putting stuff down the garbage disposal that we don't normally,
do and we're going to just have all kinds of,
problems which is why Next SATURDAY i will still be,
live it will not be a recorded show next. Weekend

(01:06:21):
Ah paul sent in a sewer pipe relining. Question our
cast iron pipes are fifty years. Old what is your
opinion on. RELINING i think it's CALLED. Cipp, well you
can reline, them and if it's a straight, run it works.

(01:06:45):
Fine where they run into problems under houses with these
relining is where you have t's and y's and different
things where the pipes are coming. Together because basically what
you do is you run through through the big. Line
you then have to go through the small, line drill
a hole in through the. Material then you put the

(01:07:10):
new sock or material through the old pipe into the
tea area and you're trying to seal up all these
joints while you're doing. It doesn't work very well that.
Way they HAVE i want to say about an eighty
percent success on getting it all completely done and Where

(01:07:35):
i've run Because i've looked at actually picking this up
as a line of business for what we do At Due.
West but WHERE i run into an issue is almost
all of them will tell you if for some reason
they can't get it to work right and say they
got a jackhammer through the slab to fix, it or
it just doesn't work at, all it falls back on.

(01:07:56):
You you took the chance on having the work, done
and we're really got to me was it really wasn't
cheaper than just tunneling and replacing the, Pipes and so for,
me the money wise risk factor just doesn't work out on.

Speaker 13 (01:08:18):
It.

Speaker 9 (01:08:19):
Uh but if you got a straight run like you're
doing a yard line or something like, that, hey you
don't have a lot of risk. FACTOR i don't have
issues with. It so we're gonna take a break for,
news trafficking. Weather you got a question seven one three
two one two five eight seven. Four that's seven one

Improvement Karen, Outa richmond is looking for chimney. Cleaning someone

(01:12:05):
to take a look at my chimney if and if necessary, cleaning,
repair no. Problems really just want to make sure it's
in good. Condition my house is twenty four years, old
maybe it's. Time, well, look if the chimney's been, used
it is time to have it cleaned at the very,

(01:12:27):
least and a lot of times the chimney sweep that
cleans it can look and see if there's. Issues so
really that's the DIRECTION i would be. HEADED i don't
have a chimney sweep to tell, you, hey call this chimney,
sweep but that is what you're looking, for is actually
a chimney. Sweep, now when you look for, one look

(01:12:48):
for one who's part of the guild that's an association
of chimney, sweeps and those, guys you, know they go
through training and stuff to keep up to date on
what's going, on how you can inspect and things like,
that because the days of just looking down chimney are
pretty much. Over now you can drop camera lights down

(01:13:10):
through there and different things to see exactly what's going.
On and quite, frankly chimneys are different as. WELL i
mean it used to be it was all just clay
square pipe going down through. There now we got, metals
we've got different building materials that we use and. Stuff

(01:13:31):
so that's WHY i definitely would recommend you take a
look at someone who's part of the, Guild Ah shannon
out Of houston looking for landscape. BOULDERS i enjoy listening
to your. Show do you know WHERE i may be
able to purchase some landscape boulders or rocks for my?

(01:13:54):

it they, carry But i'm pretty sure that that is
one of the items that they that they have. Available
AND i don't have a phone number for, them BUT
i know they're over on the west side of, town

(01:14:20):
just out Of beltway, eight and SO i would give
them a holler and talk to.

Speaker 12 (01:14:28):
Them.

Speaker 9 (01:14:29):
Again it's Called Cowboy. Trucking and you, know nice thing
a bottom is that they can bring them to. You
you may, think, oh that's, Easy i'll just go pick
them up, no you won't unless you're running a heavy.
Truck rock gets heavy real. Quick so and let's see

(01:14:51):
Here erica is asking about a dirt gravel driveway needs
regrading and drainage at the end of private. Street long
gravel dirt driveway has large, holes needs regrading drainage. Work
some drainage company says out of scope concrete driveway compatible

(01:15:15):
with location in Southeast, houston nearro meet a. Mall what
kind of contractor is? Needed, well you just really need
a dirt contractor somebody who has a either box blades
or small doze or something like that to regrade. It

(01:15:36):
SO i don't think you need anything too. Fancy, now
some of those contractors may not do, drainage but a
lot of, them especially if they're using a tractor with
a box blade behind, it can probably take care of
the drainage for you as. Well call do we we

(01:16:00):
do a lot of that kind of. Stuff we don't
typically get into regrading, driveways but depending on what it,
needs we do get into a lot of drainage, work

exposed to the sun and it doesn't do any of
this stuff looks. Gorgeous i've had, mine LIKE i, said fifteen,
sixteen maybe seventeen years and it still looks. Gorgeous just
had another place. Done and the nice thing is, like

keep talking to. Myself, okay what CAN i do for?

Speaker 6 (01:21:45):
You you know what types of oil to use on my.

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
Cabinets they're oak and they've been same with the golden
golden oak.

Speaker 9 (01:21:54):
Core and you want to put an oil on?

Speaker 6 (01:21:57):
It you, said, yeah WHEN i bought the, house they had.

Speaker 15 (01:22:03):
They had all of, them or they used some type
of something to preserve the.

Speaker 9 (01:22:08):
Wood, Okay so typically when you get into, restoration they
do this even on you, know antique furniture and. Stuff
you do a mixture of linseed oil and mineral, spirits boiled,
linen boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits and, okay basically

(01:22:32):
mix it up fifty to. Fifty use a double knot
steel wool to wash the doors, down the lynse the
mineral spirits basically clean everything and then it evaporates. Off
the linseed oil is there and soaks into the wood
and gives it that nice glow back into, it and

(01:22:54):
the cabinets are all nice and clean and oiled up.

Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
Again, okay how often should you do?

Speaker 12 (01:23:00):
That?

Speaker 9 (01:23:02):
Oh you typically Can you can do it as often
as you, want whenever the doors start looking a little.
Shabby but most people don't need to do it more
than every couple of.

Speaker 15 (01:23:17):
Years oh, okay, OKAY i want to preserve the cabinets are.
Beautiful AND i heard y'all talking about cabinets here a
couple of weeks, ago AND i, said you, KNOW i
need to look at my. Cabinets, yeah AND i, thought

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
Thanksgiving, okay thanks to, you bye bye.

Speaker 9 (01:23:51):
And again seven one three two one two five eight seven.
Four and you, know taking care of stuff around the
house can become a big issue if you let it
go too. Long so some of that stuff is just
nothing more than cleaning it up and keeping things taken care.
Of So chip out Of spring was asking about a

(01:24:15):
whole house surge. Protector he, SAYS i just caught the
tail end of your conversation regarding whole house surge. Protectors
not sure IF i miss, something but is there any
specific brand you? Recommend AND i had to talk about
surch protectors earlier. Today, no it's not a specific brand
because it really depends on the service you have coming

(01:24:36):
into your, house what size it, is and all that
kind of. Stuff you. Know one of the big tricks,
though is getting the electrician to install. It AND i
mentioned Right Touch electrical. Earlier they can take care of
putting one in for. You as our power grid gets
more and more stressed and beat, up these search protectors

(01:24:58):
are becoming more and more. CRITICAL i WILL i actually
lost a circuit board on MY hvac system and SO
i will be having a search protector installed on my.
HOME i don't have a brand in mind That i'm
going to use, yet but, uh Definitely i'm going to
be putting one. In let's, see we're gonna head To Beaumont.

(01:25:19):
Nancy this Is. Jim how CAN i help?

Speaker 8 (01:25:21):
You, Hi?

Speaker 12 (01:25:23):
JIM i was wondering do you recommend replacing air conditioning
ductwork every twenty.

Speaker 9 (01:25:29):
Years only if there's a.

Speaker 12 (01:25:32):
Reason, okay so just because the duck work it's, old
doesn't mean that it necessarily needs to be replaced unless
there's a.

Speaker 9 (01:25:41):
Problem, Correct and as as an, example if you had
old metal. Duckwork there was a lot OF hvac contractors
going around for a long time. Time. Pop, oh that
old metal duckwork needs to be. Replaced you know it's
not insulated. Properly bh blah. Blah, well you can reinsulate
the metal duck work and it's it's way more efficient

(01:26:06):
air movement in the metal duck work than it is
in the flex. Duck, now if you have the gray
flex duck work from the, eighties that needs to be
replaced because that outside plastic, Deteriorates it splits, open the
insulation comes. Off it's just is no longer holding. Up

(01:26:30):
but that's the reason you have to replace. It if
you got the silver, stuff you should be fine unless something.

Speaker 12 (01:26:39):
Happened, okay my house was built in the mid, seventies so,
honestly don't really know what it looks. Like something like
there's like some kind of material wrapped around the. Duck

(01:27:00):
is that good or?

Speaker 9 (01:27:00):
Bad, no it should have that because nowadays the duck
work you, know you got the pipe may only be
six eight ten inches. Inside then it'll have a couple
inches of insulation on. It and right now what they
use is the silver kind of like a or like
a radiant barrier around the outside of it to hold

(01:27:22):
the insulation in. Place, Right, so and you said yours
is only twenty years, old.

Speaker 11 (01:27:29):
Right, No, no it was.

Speaker 12 (01:27:31):
BUILT i just read. THAT i was just looking into
it And google said you should replace your duck work
every twenty. Years And i'm, going, oh my, gosh my
house is years. Old And i've never even thought.

Speaker 4 (01:27:44):
That was an.

Speaker 9 (01:27:45):
Issue don't believe half of what you see On google
and the other half is only a half.

Speaker 8 (01:27:50):
Truth i'm very.

Speaker 12 (01:27:54):
Relieved thank you so.
