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

(02:51):
Texas Home Improvement. So I had an email come in.
This actually came in three days ago, and it's the
time of year where you know, parents start trying to
help their kids. Which what are you going to do
when school's done? And it really doesn't matter if you're
finishing high school or finishing college. If you're finishing high school,

(03:13):
you know it's well, are you going on to college,
which probably should have been already decided, but or are
you going to go out and get a job you're
coming out of college, Have you got a degree that's
worth pursuing a job in or do you need to
find something else to do? So the subject on this

(03:34):
email was trades jobs, and he says, Hi, Jim enjoyed
enjoying listening to your show. I had your son in
law out a couple of years ago to check our
foundation and it was a great experience. And he's asking
about trade jobs. Not sure if you get this question much.

(03:55):
I'm helping my twenty four year old son search. He
lives in Dallas. We're not sure you know what he
wants to do, and he's looking for an entry level
opportunity in trades or general construction. Any ideas or resources
to point me to would be welcome. Okay, Look, I

(04:18):
would be looking at the trades. I would be looking
at plumbing, air conditioning, electrical work. All these items are
licensed trades that they make good money. You know, we
all think we got to have our kids go to
college to get a good education, to be able to

(04:41):
go out and get a great job. How many kids
come out of college, they've got a degree and they
can't make a living off that degree. You know, entry
level for an apprentice plumber going in, you're probably looking
eighteen to twenty two dollars. Same with air conditioning, no

(05:03):
experience needed. As you get more experience and you get
the higher license levels. You know, plumbing, you go in
as an apprentice, then you can get a tradesman. Then
you can go journeyman, you can become a master, and
each of these levels is paying you more and more.
The more experience you get. The better qualified you are,

(05:24):
and the more useful you are being able to go
out and solve problems, the more you're worth to a company.
So you know, you got a tradesman is going to
be probably no. Twenty to twenty five. A journeyman you're
probably looking at twenty three to depending on how good

(05:48):
you are, thirty a master anywhere from twenty eight to
thirty eight an hour. That's not bad pay. And for
most of the time when you're in those kind of trades,
over time is available if you want it. And here's

(06:09):
the thing about a license trade that way is you
move up, like plumbing for instance, master plumber, and then
you can get your responsible master, open your own shop
if you want, become the boss. Then you can see
just how poor you can be by owning your own business.
But that's a different story to tell.

Speaker 9 (06:27):
You know.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Everybody always say, oh, well, yeah, you own your own business,
you can come and go as you please, and you know,
not responsible, blah blah blah. No, when you own your
own business, you're on duty twenty four to seven. The
phone rings, you answer it. There's a problem, you got
to solve it. There's nobody to say oh, well, that's

(06:48):
I'm off today, call somebody else. It don't work that way.
But we're going down the wrong path. I'm saying. If
you're child and quite frankly, it doesn't matter male or
fee email is looking for a job coming out of school,
these trades are great. Sanjack College offers some great classes

(07:11):
for air conditioning where you get all your basics, and
when you come out of those classes and you can
take them at night, you can have a regular job
during the day and take these classes at night. You
can go to a place and start in an entry
level position and move up much quicker that way than

(07:31):
if you just come in with zero experience, because you're
learning all the basics of the parts of an air
conditioning system and how it operates. And typically when they
come out of those classes, they're ready where they can
go out and do like the spring checkups and things
like that. So honestly, that would be the direction I
would be telling you to go. Now. For those that

(07:54):
want to go into a specific you know, like you
want to be an engineer, want to be a doctor,
you things like that, go to college. But that's not
for everybody, And I will tell you up front it
wasn't for me. I love being a contractor. It's just

(08:16):
a different knowledge set. So I spent my piece. You
had a home proven question seven one three, two one
two five eight seven four. And I will tell you
when you call in and we talk. You know, I
started doing home repair stuff when I was fourteen years old.
The things we talk about, the answers I give you,

(08:37):
it's not from from stuff I read in a magazine
or in a book or anything. It's practical on the
job experience from doing different projects that I answer the
questions with. So uh, it's it's experienced talking. And I'll
tell you. You know, I own a plumbing company and

(08:58):
I had a plumbing apprentice out on a project one time,
trying to put some two pipes together. They had broken
in the ground and it was just a joint had
come apart, and he had it all dug up, and
he'd been working on it for about four hours trying
to get the pipe to line up right and put

(09:19):
it back together and you know, fix this problem. And
finally it was in a direction I was headed because
nobody else was having time to stop buying and help me.
And he was young, he was getting his experience. He
knew what needed to be done, he just couldn't get
it quite lined up. So I let let him know.

(09:41):
Not him, I'd let his supervisor note, look, i'll swing by.
I'll take a look at it. Well, they all gave
my heads up that, Oh my gosh, Jim's headed that way.
I get to the job, I look at and I say,
am I really gonna upset you if I just reach
in that hole and put that together? He says, Man,
I've been working on this, so yes. I said, then

(10:02):
I'm sorry, and I reached down, moved the pipe a
little bit a certain way, popped it together. Ah, And
I said, that is what you get with experience, and
that's the reason you earn more as you learn more. Anyways,
I didn't mean to tie back into that, but it is.

(10:22):
It is something that you get over time, and that's
you know, when you call into the show. That's the
way I'm answering questions is from stuff I've practically done.
So you got a question seven one three, two one
two five eight seven four 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

(10:43):
Improvement So I got this email about forty three minutes ago.
It's from Chris and he's drilling through marble. He says,
we bought a faucet for the kitchen a coaler. It's
a single hole faucet that needs about an inch and
five eighths hole drilled in the middle hole on an

(11:04):
old standard three hole countertop. Who would you recommend? I
don't recommend anybody. I mean, typically your plumber is going
to take care of this for you. But the problem
you're gonna run into there's an existing hole, and so
it's going to try to waller out and move it
makes it very difficult to drill the new hole. But

(11:26):
since you got three holes there, here's what I'm gonna recommend.
You put a block of wood underneath, and it only
has to be through the two outside holes. You put
a thin block on top. I don't care if it's
just a even an eighth inch paneling or quarter inch

(11:47):
plywood or something. You can hold those say a little
piece of two by four underneath, Run a screw through
the top one on the two outside holes to tighten
it up, and hold those boards together nice and tight.
On the counter top. Now you can drill through that
center hole. You got something to hold your drill bits
in place as you're drilling down through the countertop. Otherwise

(12:13):
it's just gonna be wabbling around on you and you
don't need it doing that. So again, just a little
bit of experience there, right, got a question seven one three,
two one, two, five, eight seven four. We'll be back
with more Texas on improvements. All right, this is the
time of year. You've been looking at your windows for years,

Speaker 2 (15:51):
This is Texas Home Improvement with Jim Dutton.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Hey, welcome back to Texas Home Improvement. On one three
two one two five eight seven four. That's seven one
three two, one two five eight seven four. Beverly and
new Caney says, talking about a new wood fence ceiling.
I'm north of Kingwood. Burl took out my fence. It's

(16:18):
now replaced with cedar. It's cured several months, and we're
ready to seal it for preservation. I heard a portion
on Saturday morning, but did not get all regarding ceiling.
I need to know the easiest product to apply, preferred product,
why and how to apply.

Speaker 9 (16:41):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Look, you need a product called ready Seal. It's a
stain and sealer in one. It is oil based. It
soaks deep down into the wood fibers with a oil
that seals it so it doesn't take on water. And
that's what kills all these is the wood and everything
is when moisture gets into the wood. And as far

(17:04):
as putting it on, you can spray it, roll it, brush,
It doesn't matter as long as you get a lots
of material on so it can soak deep down in
your good to go And it's a stain and seiler
and one so you don't have to do multiple coats
or anything. Put it on heavy and you're good to go.

(17:24):
You're finished and it is you know, drips runs, streaks
as it soaks in, it spreads out and all the
drips and runs and streaks and everything just disappears. So
you know, this is not something that you got to
have a big time professional come in and do for you.
If you've got teenagers at home that need something to do,

(17:45):
we're coming up on summer. This is a great project form.
You know, it doesn't require a skill set. It just
requires them to work and you want it done. They're
able to look at and say I did that. It
gives them a sense of pride. So it might make
a great weekend project as well. And you can find

(18:09):
ready Seal everywhere. It's at the box stores, lumber yards,
hardware stores, so any place you find building materials typically
carries ready seal. All right seven one three two one
two five eight seven four Nancy, This is Jim. How
can I help you?

Speaker 6 (18:27):
Hi, Jim got a question for you. I've got a
twenty year old home three thounsand square feet on a
lake palace.

Speaker 9 (18:35):
Steed.

Speaker 6 (18:37):
We have two water heaters. The one water here and
one side of the room I guess furnishes bathroom, shower.
The other one with the master bedroom, the kitchen, washroom drawer,
learn everything is the other one. It takes forever to

(18:58):
get the water hot. Have to run the water in
the vamp hub, you know, four to five minutes to
get its hot before I can take an hour. At
another home we had in called station, same thing happened.
We had some kind of a pusher of the hot
water into a recirculator. Okay, just tell me what I

(19:21):
need to do.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, you actually do? You actually have a choice here?
I mean one would be to put in a small
inline water heater that it kicks on and you got
water hot water there and once the hot water from
the water heater gets there, then the little portable one
shuts down. Or you can put in a recirculating system

(19:45):
Gruns Falls makes one for recirculating through houses like this,
and basically, I'm sorry, what was the name of the company.
It's grun false, It's it's a brand of product. Really,
any plumber should be able to take care of this
for you, any plumbing company, because basically what it does

(20:08):
is it ties into the hot water line under a
sink like in the bedroom there, and it runs a
line back to the water heater where it feeds the
water back through the system, and that's just recirculating it
to keep hot water readily available. A lot of times,

(20:29):
would I tell people if you're going to put one
of those in either put it on a timer so
it's only doing the hot water that way during the
hours that you would typically use hot water, or have
a switch or something that turns it on when you
go in the room, whether it's a third light switch

(20:49):
or something, because if you leave water circulating through a
pipe all the time, it will wear the elbows and
stuff out.

Speaker 6 (20:57):
Yeah. Can I've been told because this actually love to
have been here four years. It's the money det movie everything.
We're going to have a brand new house for long.
But they keep showing us that there's no both both
water heaters are in the attic, okay, and so they're
saying that there's no electricity run there, so they'll have

(21:19):
to run electricity. You just plug it in up there,
but you're not saying that, you're saying put it somewhere else.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Well, you're still going to have to have electricity, but
you can put it in the attic. You can put
it under.

Speaker 6 (21:32):
The sink, okay, so it can go into the sink
so it doesn't have to be tied in okay. And
the other one, the first one you said was say inline.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
An inline water heater, same thing. You would still have
to have power run for it, but with that, basically
you can put like a little single hand inline water
heater that kicks in as soon as you turn on
the hot water, so you can have it right there.
Would work very well for this.

Speaker 6 (22:02):
And you have helped us out so many times during
the year.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Thank you, So you're welcome. All right, let's talk real
quick about American standard heating and air conditioning. You know,
it's been my choice since ninety nine and that's when
I put the first one in my personal home. Now
I still have it in my home in Pasadena and
my home up in the Dallas area because they're air

(22:26):
conditioners at American standard are nationally recognized for excellence for performance, reliability,
and customer satisfaction. So take care of your family all
year long with American Standard air. American Standard technology meets
the ever changing Texas weather head on. So keep your
home cool and humidity free, or be ready for a

(22:48):
little heat when you need it. Invest wisely and invest
in the home comfort system that lasts you a long,
long time comfort the way you like it. American Standard
Air dot com.

Speaker 14 (23:11):
Here's more Texas Home Improvement with Jim dot.

Speaker 15 (23:17):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Welcome back to Texas Home Improvement. Seven one three two
one two five eight seven four. Again it's seven one
three two one two five eight seven four. I've got
all open lines right now, So pick up the phone,
give me a call. Let's talk some home improvement. So
Susan had sent in an email. Now she's in Dallas
and she says, need a durable coating for a wood deck.

(23:40):
Can I use text coat or cool wall on my
wood deck? No? Those those are are both for wall coatings,
uh and for helping with some energy efficiency on the walls.
They make regular deck coatings. And the reason you don't
want to use regular paints or other things. None of

(24:04):
them are made for walking on where if you get
a regular deck paint, it's made for the wear of
walking on it. Not say you can't still wear all
the way through it, but it's made for that, and
so it takes longer to wear through it. So go
over to Sherwin Williams and they have a deck paint

(24:26):
that you can take a look at for putting on
that deck and not having to worry about prematurely wearing
through it. Again. If you got a question seven one three,
two one two five eight seven four, and I'll see
what I can do to help you out. We're going
to head to Austin and Susan. This is Jim. How

(24:46):
can I help you?

Speaker 16 (24:48):
Hi, I have a plumbing question for you. I do
not have a pressure regulator on the waterline coming into
my house.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Okay, is that a problem? No, mans, most of us don't.

Speaker 16 (25:03):
Oh good, because you know plumbers always want to act
like you really need one of these.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Oh yeah, you got to have one so that the
pressure stays even in your house all the time, and
you know you don't want it to overpressure that water.
It's bunk the city pressure comes in between fifty five
and eighty PSI and it's don't don't, don't worry about it.

Speaker 16 (25:25):
Oh that's save me a couple of thousand dollars.

Speaker 9 (25:28):
Thank you.

Speaker 16 (25:29):
I appreciate your show, and thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
You're welcome.

Speaker 16 (25:33):
You take care you too, Bye bye bye.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (25:37):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
What a pressure regulators made for to make sure your
pressures don't go too high. And look, when you're running
the city pressure, if the pressure went too high, it's
not going to affect you your house, it's going to
affect everybody. And ninety nine percent of the houses do
not have a pressure regulator on them. It's it's just

(26:01):
one of those items that some plumbing companies have figured
out that hey, we make good money putting these in. Now,
every once in a while, you'll you'll find a place
that is having higher than normal water pressures and it's
because they're having a pressure up the line to get
keep pressure all the way at the end, which maybe
you know what, two miles away or something. Then you'll

(26:24):
put a pressure regulator on.

Speaker 17 (26:26):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Some businesses type corporation type buildings need them. And you're well,
if you got a well needs it. But it's it's
already down there at the pressure switch. So no, in general,
we don't need them. Got a question seven one three
two one two five eight seven four. That's seven one

(26:50):
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, So WC sent in replacement of
door between house and attached garage. Looking at a gelwind
pre hunk steel no glass door? Do I need to

(27:12):
get one that states it is fire rated? The specs
for the fire rated door look like the same as
their regular door. Also, is it okay to add a
peep hole to either door if you want a peephole
at it? I mean, and the door between the house

(27:33):
and the garage, although the fire rated are nice, and
it's really not so much because of the fire rating
if there's a fire, it's more like an exterior door
for temperature control. But a lot of garages just have
interior type doors between the garage and the house. So yes,

(27:57):
if you see a nice steel door that you you like, uh,
fire rated or not, you can put it in there. Uh.
And if you want to add a peep hole, you
go right ahead. I will tell you though, putting a
peep hole in the steel door may be a little
more difficult then you're bargaining on, but uh, it definitely
can be done again. Seven one three two one two

(28:23):
five eight seven four. That's seven one three, two, one
two five eight seven four. Any home proven question you have,
you pick up the phone, you give me a calling.
You pick the new subject that we're going to be
talking about by asking the question Grace is asking about

(28:44):
on a building, a Mueller home, which Mueller is a
steel building. Would like to do many splits? Your thoughts?
What would you recommend?

Speaker 15 (28:56):
You know.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
A lot of new homes are going to many splits.
In Europe, all AC systems are many splits. We have
the central air systems. That's what we're used to using
and so we still use them a lot. But I
can tell you, like in my own house here, I
have a central system for the majority of the house,
but I have many splits for other areas, and I

(29:18):
like the many splits. Each room can have a different temperature,
so if you've got people who want it hotter or colder,
you can do that. And with some of the newer
mini splits, I shouldn't say newer, the ones that have
return valves and stuff. You can have one room that's

(29:39):
on cooling and one room that's on heat. It does
have to be the lines run to be able to
do that, but it can be done. So yeah, I
love many split systems, and you will see over time
the country will probably phase out tradition air conditioning systems

(30:01):
to go more with the mini splits. And if you
look at the different mini splits, you're gonna find that
some of them are very energy efficient. You know, we
talk about sixteen seventeen eighteen CIER right now being kind
of the sweet spot when you're talking central air and heat.
But on many splits, you know, you're typically twenty three,

(30:23):
twenty four as high as thirty six CEER rating on
mini splits, so they are way more energy efficient. So
absolutely no problem with putting those in. Got a question
seven one three, two, one two five eight seven four.
We'll be right back with more Texas home improvement. You know,

(31:03):
foundation problems don't go away by themselves. Something had to change,
and something had to change to cause the problem to
begin with. What is it? The moisture content in the
soil typically is the biggest culprit. Now there's other things
you know that can cause foundation problems, like a house
that was built over an area that had been dug

(31:24):
or something like that. But in general, it's almost always
a moisture change in the content of the soil. The
soils dry out, they shrink, they get wet, they expand. Again,
that's reason preventative maintenance have things like root shields, watering systems, drainage.
All these things are designed to maintain a constant moisture level.

(31:45):
So whether you need preventative maintenance, or you need full
blown foundation repair, or you want to lift the house
up out of floodwaters, you want the best. You call
du West Foundation Repair seven to one three four seven
three seven to one five six. Again it's seven one

We, go.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Ah needing a. Gutter guy Vivian in sugarland needs a
good gutter installer need gutter to run a distance away from.
The House so i'm not sure if you're needing a
gutter installer or wanting to extend the down spout out

(37:53):
away from.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
The.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
House uh if you need a good gutter installer Like
gutter max And leaf guard and some of, those companies they,
do great but when they typically bring the down, spout
down bring, it out and some of them may go
a foot or, two out but that's usually. About it

(38:17):
where if you need to get it away from, the
house you're usually going to go down into the ground
and run a pipe out away from, the house and
you may have to have a pop up. On it,
you know it just depends on how far out you
need to get it and if you yard has any
slope to it at all to let the water drain

(38:37):
down rather than having to put the. Pop up, you
know if you can daylight, the pipe that's. Always better,
but Yeah leaf Guard gutter max are good companies that
you can take a. Look at as far as if
you want just a, regular gutter you'll have to check on.
Local GUYS and i say that because they don't typically travel.

(39:00):
Very far most of the, roofing, contractors though do. Have
people so if you want To give Guardian roof systems.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
A call.

Speaker 1 (39:11):

you want to go with a chain link or a.
Wooden fence as far as, an installer they don't typically
travel all, that far AND so i would tell you
you'd have to find a local one and what you'd be. Looking,
for obviously if they got complaints WITH the, bbb unanswered
you don't need to deal. With, them uh don't mind

(40:19):
having complaints because the bigger, the company the more likely
are to have, some complaints but they need to. Be
answered and that does not mean that somebody needs to
go out and, fix something it means they need to
at least respond, to it because sometimes people ask for
stuff that's just. Not reasonable but THAT'S where i, would

Speaker 8 (44:09):
It while You Can Here's more Texans Home. Improvement with,
Jim DUTTON.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
All right so i had, an email from SOMEBODY and
you know i get these. Kind of Things periodically it's
from DONNIE And. HE says usa insulation i had these
guys come out and give me a quote on, doing
some interior walls mainly for. Sound barrier last week the

(44:38):
quote was. Much higher than expected BUT my question is
i understand that they fill in the two inch hole
from the drywall that, they make to insulate but you
are left to match the. Texture and the paint? Can
you confirm this my house was painted over SEVEN years
ago and i have tried to, match the paint before but

(45:00):
it never. HITS the mark exactly i would hate to
have to repaint the entire rooms. Once, they are finished
well if you, do an interior walls yes you got
to go through the sheet, rock to, do it and
yeah you will have to match it back and you
will more than likely have to paint the entire wall

(45:21):
when the paint's seven years old and has faded. Over
time and stuff so the question is or, To answer
is yes i'm sure that's. Gonna be a situation when,
it's an exterior wall you know they're able to drill
the holes from outside and.

Speaker 9 (45:38):
Use.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Different equipment to, inject now, for soundproofing great product it'll
block up to eighty. Percent of the noise but if
that's all you're trying to do with, it, on interior
walls yeah it's gonna seem like it's a little pricey
because the only thing you're getting out of it. Is
the sound proofing and there's other, products you can do

(46:00):
but they're typically going to require you to take the.
Sheet rock off, completely so either way you're gonna end
up doing. Some sheet, rock repair all right we Got

Five eight seven four, that's, seven one three two one two.

(50:00):
Five eight. SEVEN four let's see i had an email
come in during The last Hour from james and katie.
About squirrels, And, Wiring, HE says hey jim i have a.
Question about some, WIRING in the past i had squirrels.
Living in my attic they chewed, some of my wiring but.

(50:21):
Just white outer sleeve does this wiring have to BE
replaced or can i just wrap? It with Duct tape Thank. You,
james d well. First no duct tape you don't use
duct tape on. Electric wiring at.

Speaker 9 (50:38):
All but.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
If all they chewed was the outer sleeve that the,
wires are wrapped in and they didn't chew through the coating,
on the, wire itself then yes you can wrap, it
with electrical, tape not duct. Tape but electrical tape but

(51:03):
if they did chew the wire into the sleeve that's,
around the wire itself because the way, the wires are
done you got the outer, sleeve and you'll have, depending
on the wire three or four wires running. Through the
outer sleeve and each wire that's inside has its own coating,

(51:23):
on it as well and they're color, coded, ones typically
black white and, red are the colors and you may.
End up with multiples and then there's a lot of
times a solid wire that has. No sleeve on it
so as long as they didn't bite into, the coating.
Of that you're, okay, if they did well then it,

(51:46):
can be cleaned up protected. And put back together doesn't
mean you got to rewire the house by any, means
of the imagination but no. Duct tape on electrical. It's
electrical tape only and again our number seven one three

(52:07):
two one two. Five eight seven, four by the way
if you need an electrician to come out and take,
a look at. It, right touch electrical uh they can
take care of. All Your electrical needs and i've used,
their services many times done. Several projects with them you
can reach them at two eight one six four five,

(52:28):
Five five two six so.

Speaker 4 (52:30):
Give.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Them a houler okay so we were talking about metal
roofs or not metal Roofs Shingles in the, dallas show
this morning and how asphalt shingles are being kind of

(52:55):
slowly being phased out because insurance companies aren't wanting to
cover insurance. On them and stuff and we got talking
about the, hail Coverage and stuff And Richard out of
little elm had sent me an email saying, three words for.
ROOFS stone coated steel i put on stone coated steel
five years ago and my roof. Looks like new today

(53:17):
it has, a fifty year warranty. Well worth, the cost
and look when you put these, kind of roofs on
you typically get an, insurance discount as well so it's not.
Just the roof itself you get all kinds of benefits.
From putting, it on but yes the reason the asphalt

(53:39):
shingles are being done, away with is one they're not
holding up to. Our, heat very well two if they
get hit with, too heavy of wind hailstorm storms, and
things like. That they get damaged the replacement, costs is
very expensive and so insurance companies have been raising deductibles

(53:59):
to the point that you can't afford where if you
go with a like a steel roof, or something like
that a lot of times can get an insurance deduction
as well as not have to worry about storms causing.
Damage to the shingles and you know, here along the
coast hurricanes in that cause us. A lot of damage

(54:22):
and look at what they've done to the insurance. Rates
along the coast well they're doing the same. On roofs,
as well so, anyway seven one three two one two
five eight seven four Headed, To, North of KINGWOOD beverly how? Can, I,
help you yeah david can you bring her? Up for?

(54:45):
Some reason, It's. Locked thank YOU beverly how? CAN i
help you i.

Speaker 10 (54:50):
Replace my wood fence unfortunately it, is uh treated number,
it is not cedar and that was too. Late to
Do that uh so i'm ready. To SEAL it now
When I went to ace Hardware To, look at ready
seal it had a number on, those cans, like dash.

(55:10):
Oh two dash twelve do? Those numbers mean something?

Speaker 5 (55:15):
Too many to be?

Speaker 1 (55:17):
They have different colors oh is?

Speaker 10 (55:20):
That a color number.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
They have different stains and so uh you know whether
you wanted a clear stain or like a walnut, and
anything in Between and so so i'm guessing. That's, what,
you saw yes.

Speaker 10 (55:34):
Okay because it's so it just said today's The One,
label the ready seal and has three or four pictures
of all the things you. Can, do with it yep
and just ignore the colors except look.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
At, the color chart yeah look at the color chart and.
CHOOSE what you LIKE i personally always i, love the
seed LOOK so. That's what i go the redwood and the. Cedar.

Speaker 10 (55:53):
ARE my favorite yeah i was thinking ABOUT the seater when. I, looked,
AT them yes.

Speaker 5 (55:58):
Okay i appreciate it, Thank.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
You, So much, you're welcome thank care. Bye bye and,
again seven one three two one two five eight seven four,
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. Homeprovement so let's See this comes from,

(56:28):
Donald and he says i'm trying to trap some water
that drains from the car wash. Next door every day
i've put some four by fours down over some plastic
and added pea gravel. To hold the plastic the water
continues to run under the boards, and makes a puddle

(56:49):
so that working in. THAT area is difficult i was
thinking about finding some sheet metal strips to drive in
the ground several inches too deep to. Create a ponding
effect any idea you have. WOULD be greatly appreciated i. Enjoy,

(57:10):
your radio broadcast look you're not really. NEEDING to do
that i think the first thing you need to do is,
talk with the city because you're not allowed to drain,
water onto neighbor's yards especially coming. From a, car wash
you know it's one thing if rain, water is doing

(57:32):
it but coming, From, A car wash uh they've got
to control that and keep it from, coming on your
property especially if yours is residential and there's this commercial.
That is totally unaccepted so that would BE the first step.
I would take secondary anything you do on the surface

(57:52):
is probably going to be a problem unless you want
to just put some catch basins to catch the water
as it's coming and just. Drain it out somewhere whether
you've got to pump it somewhere or you have enough slope.
To gravity feed it that's going to be a much
better solution than trying to put, any type of barricade

(58:12):
because if you do create a little, pond area like
that it's still going to soak through the soils and
create mugs on the other. Side of the barricade so
if it's coming down on, the surface that way your
best bet is to create an area that, it can slope,

(58:33):
into capture that water and move.

Speaker 15 (58:36):
It out that, way.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
Seven one three two one two Five eight Seven Four, Headed,
The lake jackson tom? How are you, Today.

Speaker 4 (58:46):
I'm doing fine jim how? Are? You, Just fine day.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Well i'm Doing good other than i'm a little slow
on calls today makes it kind of, Drag a little bit,
But other than.

Speaker 17 (58:54):
That.

Speaker 4 (58:54):
I'm doing great, well, My, question is, UH well first off.
I or your show I enjoy listening to i. Always get. Good,
Pointers thank you Uh i've got a west wall on my.
HOUSE and it's brick i think it's brick Or brick from.
Near i'm not sure but it gets really. Hot in

(59:16):
the summer and they've got A. Paint NAMED cool wall
can i apply that paint to brick to? Keep that
wall cooler.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
You can't apply. It directly to brick you would have
to use a primer that's, made for brick. Walls, A
masonry primer uh and then you could use it as a.
Top code over that.

Speaker 4 (59:42):
Will that change the appearance like a gloss or the
appearance OF the brick? When? I, DO that.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
Absolutely so.

Speaker 4 (59:55):
I wonder if It's going to be.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
If you do that it's going. To be painted brick.

Speaker 4 (01:00:01):
Oh so it's, not, a transparent no.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
SIR it's it's.

Speaker 4 (01:00:04):
Colored, i, got you yeah yeah because. There's nothing, the
block you know if there was trees or something that,
block the west sun it. Wouldn't get so hot but.
It really radiates that you know how old a home
is it it was built in, two thousand and. Fifteen,

(01:00:25):
LATE twenty fifteen.

Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
Gosh i would have thought the installations that it should
have been. Able to handle that it.

Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
Seemed like IT does but when i. Go on the
outside it's. Really radiating, in that oh yeah it's it's the. House.
Is STAYING cool okay but i Just thought maybe, since i've,
heard that you know you could. Put that on there it. Might, help,
it out, yeah no.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
It would it would it would be. Like painting the.

Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
Brick and also on the north, SIDE of the house
i got two windows that that when the sun comes
up real, high in the summertime it wants. IT'S shine
in there i. Got blinds and everything and but you
also mentioned too about a tinting you could. Put, on
your windows yes what was the? Name of that?

Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
Tinting concord window film.

Speaker 4 (01:01:22):
Is that? SIMPLE enough TO apply i mean i could
do some Things around, the out oh no this.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
Is very very simple this is a great. Do with
yourself project you really. CAN'T mess, it, up i mean
uh you put on. Moisture onto the window you put
this window film on there so that you, can move
it around and then you basically are squeezing out the
moisture and then cut the the window film on. The

(01:01:49):
edges to fit so it's almost impossible. To mess it up.

Speaker 4 (01:01:54):
Is, That, on, the outside no sir it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
Goes, TO the inside.

Speaker 4 (01:01:57):
Okay i guess is it one way that's that kind
of messy maybe with. The, water and everything no.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
Because you're not. Using that much moisture.

Speaker 4 (01:02:06):
You're just you're just.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
Wet in the window you're just missing it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:10):
And you have to squeeze, it, Their. POCKETS out correct
okay i guess that that probably would reduce some of
that because some of that does. Radiate through the, windows
and oh.

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
Yeah and and this blocks up to ninety NINE percent
of the uv, race from coming in so that. That
would help tremendously and IT DOES CONCORD co N. Co
o r d and you can reach them at eight
eight eight two zero six. One, four, one.

Speaker 4 (01:02:42):
Three okay well, thank YOU for that and, i enjoy
your show, And.

seven one three two one two Five, Eight seven FOUR
adrian what can? I?

Speaker 13 (01:07:53):
Do For you fo hello jim love.

Speaker 3 (01:07:57):
YOU show very informative i Have a problem which i'm
sure most people.

Speaker 12 (01:08:03):
AND you to have.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
I have a. Dog in the backyard my squirrels, love
the dog food so they. Love MY attic too so
i have rats too now that. ARE coming in there i,
hate to kill. Them to shoot THEM but what could
i do to get rid of rats and? Squirrels in
my attic.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
So there's a couple of. Things, you can do one
you got to find out how they're getting in so that. Can.
Be closed up okay you know the biggest thing is
you got to get them out though before. You close
it up and you know you'll see some of these
sonic things that are supposed to help with getting rid,
of critters like that and it's a. Fifty to fifty

(01:08:52):
shot sometimes some of them work great and you'll never
have an. Animal come in, again others of them for
some reason. Don't work at all and. It's the, same
manufacturers you know, we CAN'T hear it so i have
to always make the assumption some of. Them just are
defective but that is one. Way to do it the
other is to just put. Some, baits up there obviously

(01:09:14):
the baits are typically, designed to kill them but if
you want a professional to. HANDLE It For you abc
pests control has a division that deals with the the
pests like that.

Speaker 15 (01:09:25):
Up, in, the attic, Okay Okay, Trapped.

i got to take a, quick break for. News traffic

if you're looking at a way to make your, HOUSE
More energy efficient usa. Insulation can do it they can
add insulation to your existing walls. Without, tearing anything out

Speaker 19 (01:13:02):
For taking my call we are looking to replace the
windows in our home of homes nineteen, years old original
windows so just time for an upgrade and we're narrowted
down To the Fiberglass from marvin and pella and wondered if,
you have a recommendation and, also looking at casements but
one of them has only the crank casement and the

(01:13:24):
other one's Got a more modern what are?

Speaker 6 (01:13:26):
Your, thoughts on windows.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
Well it really depends on the. Look you're going for
there's none of the windows are bad anymore because the
government regulates as far as the energy efficiency. And things
like that so it really comes down to what do you.
Want to look at and if you'll talk to The
Folks Over at, texas remodel teams windows they can put

(01:13:51):
in any type of window you want and they can
show you the different looks and help you choose the right.
ONE for, your home i know you know a lot
of People don't like that european crank out. WHERE where
crank sideways i personally love, those TYPE of windows but

(01:14:14):
i don't have them. IN my own house i have
just a regular up and down window. In my own house.

Speaker 19 (01:14:19):
Do you happen to know if, there's a just functionally
whether the crank works better or gives out sooner than.
THE there's a, slide i guess.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
Well the slide's always gonna last because there's nothing. REALLY to, wear,
out i mean yeah it's got a little spring, inside
the window casement but it's rare for. Those to go,
out but quite frankly unless you're gonna be opening and
closing these windows on, a pretty regular basis you won't

(01:14:50):
have problems with the crank on. The, other, style either
okay great.

Speaker 19 (01:14:55):
Thank you so much. That really does help we'll get
the Guys That You. Said texas remodel.

Speaker 1 (01:14:59):
Team it's this remodel team and you can reach them
at two eight one three nine nine. Four zero, six two.

Speaker 19 (01:15:09):
All, right thanks so. Much appreciate your, show.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
You bet by bye bye and, again seven one three
two one two. Five eight seven four let's Head out To.
Full sure And. Carl this IS jim how?

Speaker 15 (01:15:25):
Can, I, Help you hey jim i've got a thirty
by forty foot pier in beam building, and WATER ponds
underneath and i was thinking of putting a sump pump
under there and Then trying to figure i've looked online and,
some PEOPLE put classic but i can't imagine THAT stay
and put i mean it's gravel or sand, OR is
you know i do have. To get under there it

(01:15:46):
seems like a cat decides to die under there Every
now and then. I'll have to climb you'll crawl under
and get it and be nice, not to, have to
you know. Go through a swamp and obviously it's not good,
for my building Either what, you's not.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
And really if you're gonna be crawling underneath there, once
in a while you don't want the gravel because it
is miserable on the knees and hands and stuff if
you've got. To go under there so usually if you
have a sump in there and have the water, going
to the sump the clays aren't that. Bad to just

(01:16:21):
leave but if you're getting a lot of moisture coming,
up through the soil that's what. The, plastic is for
basically it keeps the moisture from getting up onto the
wood of the floors and stuff or metal and rusting or.
Rotting out the wood so it's basically encapsulating the moisture

(01:16:47):
and your pump can still be there to. Keep the
water out and if the, encapsulation is done properly even
if the water is running underneath, it a little bit
it's not.

Speaker 9 (01:17:00):
Going to move it so you do the plastic.

Speaker 15 (01:17:04):
In the sump pump thickness of plastic do?

Speaker 1 (01:17:08):
You, think is best well it's not. Really a regular
plastic it's actually a heavy duty moisture barrier because regular
plastic actually, underneath there would deteriorate uh and tear. Where,
this stuff doesn't.

Speaker 15 (01:17:27):
Well where's a good?

Speaker 9 (01:17:28):
Place to buy that.

Speaker 15 (01:17:31):
Like any of the? Box stores, have, it, you think.

Speaker 1 (01:17:34):
No no you're not going to find it. At the
box stores it's. It's typically special order the places that
we order it from have the the dehumidifying equipment and
fans and and you know all the different products. That,
GO With It Now Hd white supply white, cap might

(01:17:54):
HAVE it, but like i said we're normal ordering it
from a supplier that. Supplies foundation repair contractors.

Speaker 15 (01:18:07):
So, YOUR company, does, that i, guess THEN oh, yeah
for i mean it's one of those things you'd have
to look at it to see or be yes or thirty, by,
forty or okay.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
Yeah because it depends on how many posts you got
to go around and. Different things like that.

two Story town home that i've lived. IN for twenty
years i replaced my ac furnace and duckwork, back in
twenty seventeen SO about eight years i just discovered mold
in MY downstairs ace event i WENT ahead de said

(01:26:58):

(01:27:34):
nine okay fantastic.

Speaker 12 (01:27:37):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:27:38):
So MUCH appreciate it now i can tell you it's
it's going to be a matter of THERE'S something in
the ac system that's, got, to be fixed okay because
for for it to be, in the duck work there's
something within the system. That has gone wrong whether there's
some leaks in the, duck that's you know that's letting
the warm air get in that's caught is, to sweat

(01:28:00):
in there or sometimes the air speed isn't right and
literally you're blowing air from the coils that has moisture
in it and it goes through the plane. On the
duck work but something is going to have to be
WORKED on on. The. Ac unit itself.

Speaker 12 (01:28:23):
Okay i'm so, glad YOU mentioned that because i, did,
have ANOTHER question okay. And i was suspicious i've had
different companies come IN to service my ac and my furnace,
every Spring and fall and i've seen people make a
small hole, in The duck work and i've never understood.
The purpose of that some, of them sealed it. ONE

(01:28:48):
of them didn't i got some tape, and SEALED it,
myself and, i thought you know do you is there
a purpose for that or they just trying to destroy
it to get more.

Speaker 1 (01:28:59):
Business unless they were testing for something in particularly that
they saw. On a routine service there should not be a. Reason, to,
do that okay now with the issues that you're, HAVING
with the moisture i could see a. Reason for doing
it but not every, Year during the, service no oh

(01:29:20):
no it would.

Speaker 12 (01:29:20):
Be usually a few times when they went to like,
check out an issue maybe with a furnace or something up.
There in, the, attic so, yeah okay all right, well
thank you again appreciate.
