Breathe purchase. You can give them a call. Check out
their website. It's Letter E LETTERZ breathe dot com. All right,
another weekend, getting a few things done around home. Happy
to have you, Thanks for joining me, and we got
(01:14):
a lot to cover today along with lots of phone calls.
So if you'd like to jump on board, do so.
It is eight hundred eight two three eight two five
five And well where do you want to start? Where
I met? It's kind of it's not hot, it's not cold,
it's kind of just nice. It's a warm. It's a
(01:37):
warmer day than it should be this time of year,
no rain till maybe in the evening. Where I met
my point being this, if you get a nice day
where it's tolerable to get out and get some of
those chores done around the home. Besides just raking leaves
or putting the landscaping to bed, one of the things
(01:59):
you might consider take a quick look at your concrete.
We took a lot of calls this summer and fall
regarding what they call spawling, where the surface of that
concrete becomes compromised. The gravel shows the concrete. It's not
smooth anymore. It's got divots in it. And I used
(02:21):
to call it driveway acne or cracks. And if you
live in cold weather climate and you have those issues,
and even if it's not been sealed for a while,
been unsealed for three to five years, you haven't done
anything with it. And you got some cracks, and you
got some spawling, and you get a warm day, hey,
(02:41):
get to work. Winters are really really tough on concrete.
And you get a lot of moisture, you got road salt,
and cold climates, you get rain. Some areas of the
country beautiful in the wintertime, but others harsh, and if
you live in a harsh climate, we want to do
(03:02):
what's best for the hard scapes around our home. And
it's not too late. It seems like falls get extended. Winners,
maybe a little warmer, but take advantage of a good day.
And today would be one of them where I'm at,
not so much tomorrow. But if you can do a
(03:24):
little patching, a little ceiling of the cracks, you might
be way ahead of the game. So something to think about,
that's for sure. And you know, tackle those particular projects
and put them to bed. All right, very good, and
let's give you the phone number. We'll kick things off.
It's eight hundred eight two three eight two five five Scott. Welcome, Yes, Scott.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Oh, I'm so sorry. I apologize. I didn't hear you
say my name. I'm sorry. Hey, I want to see them.
So a little bit of a mystery. Twenty year old house.
Removed all the original folk trim and I'm replacing with
craftsman style trim. Uh huh. And when I did it,
you know at the bottom of the drywall how they
usually be installed, usually leave like about a quarter inch
(04:17):
to a half inch gap between the bottom.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Of the drywall and the floor in the floor, yes.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Right, the when I took the trim off below, in
that gap between the drywall and the floor. In lots
of places there, they've actually pounded roofing nails into the
base plate. And I'm wondering, is that to help prevent
the trim from like, you know, when you nail it
(04:45):
tipping in?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Mm hmm, I'm gonna gas. I don't really know, is
there when you have that trim in there, can you
feel a lot of breeze or anything?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
No? No, that's an even internal you know, internal walls
and everything. I mean, I removed it all the trim
and it's they did this everywhere, and I almost thought
they did it on the backing, you know, so you know,
when you use a nailer, it can you know, do
a lot of force. Maybe when they install it, you know,
(05:19):
and like did the nail into the base plate right
that that maybe it would have tipped it in. And
so by putting that roofing nail there, it created a
almost like a backer.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah. Yeah, Well from a convenience standpoint, that would make
it easier to do, would it not.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, it's kind of a mystery.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And yeah, I mean I've seen it people with with shims,
and I guess nails could do that same type of thing,
just to hold that place and have that spacing.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, so I'm guessing.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I'm guessing with you. Yeah, I can't say I've used nails.
I've used certainly spacers and stuff like that, but I
guess it will do the same thing I did.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Because it's i mean, it's rooting.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Nails that they use with the bigger head.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, the big head.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I I googled it all over the place and I
could not find any reference to this.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Well that's why, I mean I think sometimes, uh, some
of the things that will do or something that's been
passed down and not really you know, totally common, but
obviously you want to have a little high thought that
uh subfloor, especially with you know, carpets and stuff like that,
to put that little spacer and there will be at
(06:47):
a nail or whatever. But yeah, I'm guessing that's what
it would be. Scott.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, and okay, yeah, I'm the original owner.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
So I mean, all right, you know, keep listening. Somebody
may have another opinion. Tell me you're crazy, Gary, they
all do that. I don't know, I've not done it.
Appreciate it all right, Linda welcome.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Hey, Yeah, got a question for you. We tried something
that we haven't done before, and I'm not confident that
we have all the water out. So we've typically paid
somebody to blow out the water out of our irrigation system.
Uh huh, and the cost has kept getting up and
(07:34):
up and up. So this year we tried it in
our own We shut off the water downstairs, okay, and outside,
and we had some water flow out from the drain.
But how do I know that the water.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Is actually out well?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And is there anything else I should have done?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So when you when you shut off the water inside
the home, you're you've got a little little brass cap
on that valve where you would drain out maybe a
few ounces of water there. And then usually what they'll do,
what an irrigation system does, is they'll have a compressor.
They'll blow the air out of the piping and out
(08:18):
of the heads, so they'll they'll they'll make sure all
the water's out. They'll force it won't be water pressure,
it'll be air pressure that they'll blow out through that system, right, yeah,
so have you done that.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
We don't have that equipment.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
That's well, that's okay, Well that's kind of why you're
paying somebody to do that. That water should be blown out.
So it's fine to shut off the water. It's fine
to you know, do the little bleeder, the little bleeder
valve and get the water out of the valve and
the backflow preventter and things like that. But that's not
(08:57):
really since there is no water pressure now, since we've
shut that off, that water is sitting in that pipe,
so you need to force ofly, instead of having the
water pressure, you would have the air pressure that would
then clean out that pipe. And yeah, that's why you know,
you can rent compressors, but that's why you're paying that
(09:18):
money to have that irrigation system shut down, is to
blow that water out of that pipe. All right, I
hope that helps, Linda. Thank you very much. Our phone
number is eight hundred eight two three, eight two five five,

six eight two two seventy three, twenty eight, or visit
easybreed dot com. One of the things I'm gonna interject
(12:22):
here before we bring Ron Wilson and is on that
irrigation system on winter rising it there's a lot to
know on that, but you've got to get a compressor
air to blow all that out, and you blow that
water out, so it's just a miss. But the pressure
settings are even different. I mean, you're paying for somebody's
knowledge in the equipment. If it's a PBC system, it's
(12:43):
like fifty psi, polysystems like forty. And then there's drip zones,
which Ron can talk about that's twenty psi. So you
in knowing where to insert the compressor, which is near
the backflow and all that leaving the valves half open.
There's a little bit to know about that. You can
certainly google that and get the step by step process,
(13:05):
but you got to have the equipment too. All right,
mister Wilson is joining us. He always helps us with
the outside of our home, the bushes, the trees, the lawn,
the garden, all kinds of things. And it looks like
things are starting to kind of shut down. Mister Wilson, Yes.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Sir, and I wouldn't tackle blown out my own irrigation system.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Well, yeah, I get it. I'm all about saving money.
I mean, I get it to two box but if
you don't know what you're doing, blow those heads off.
If you don't, you know, blow that water out of there,
the freezing and the cracking. I mean, you're protecting a
sizable investment by having that maintained professionally. If you want
(13:49):
to do it yourself, you've gotta have to learn about
how to do it, and there is certainly some risk
if you don't know how to use a compressor or word.
I mean, there's like everything else, there's a you got
to know what you're doing before you tackle it yourself.
So you got some research to do.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
Yeah, I think it's yeah, I agree, Yeah, forget, I
mean it's I would learn about that kind of stuff.
I learned about it, so I know how to do
it if I had to otherwise.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Can you learn about it? And you say, hmm, that's
not for me.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
That's just not That's what I say. Can you come
and blow out my I.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I don't really want to blow all the heads off
my irrigation system. I don't want to screw up the
irrigation controller. I don't want to mess up the valves.
I don't want the copper pipe on the back flow
to freeze and split.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
I mean, you know, do people still pour ana freeze
in your toilets.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Well when they take off to go somewhere. Yeah, a
lot of times they do. And it's not necessarily I mean,
I wouldn't do the ana freeze, but there's like the
US to do that.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
Yeah, I said, that's sarcastically.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, no they did. Sure, you know what the best
thing to do really, And it's not that they do
it to keep the water from freezing. They do it
to keep it from evaporating.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Poor oil or something then mineral oil, mineral oil.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
All it takes is geez, I don't know, four ounces,
take a little splash or two of it, put it
in a toilet. Some people would wrap saran wrap on
top of it because if that toilet water evaporates when
you're out of town and it evaporates out of that trap,
it's a direct line to the sewer, which allows sewer
gas in your home. And if you're gonna be a
(15:30):
snowbird and be gone three months and your house is
real dry, that's a that's certainly a risk. So yeah,
winterizing your home's a that's a whole subject. That's a good,
good subject too, you know, winterizing your home. A lot
of people there too, don't really know where the rules
should be. And all of a sudden somebody goes, I'm
(15:51):
gonna save me a lot of money. I'm gonna put
that house at forty five degrees too cold you want
to keep it. I wouldn't really go below fifty eight,
to be honest with you.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
See, I always say I think he used some reason.
During the week. We went out of town last Saturday Sunday,
and I went downstairs, and I first I turned off
the water, because if I'm gonna be gone more than
three or four days, I turn off the water.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Not a bad idea.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
I turn off the heat, the water heater, so you know,
because the water's turned off obviously, right. I do open once.
I don't know why, but I always open one spicott
just to drain the water over the pipes.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Sure, and basically you can drain too too. Really, you
do the highest faucet, you know, maybe upstairs, and then
the lowest. Do the lowest one and downstairs and yeah,
and then you got some air. Just drains faster. Yeah,
that's the main reason.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Yep. And then they then the thermostat at about sixty. Yeah,
that's plenty fifty eight something like that.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
That's a really good spot. That's the sweets.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
And the only reason I do that is because I
learned that from Gary Carleman.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I try to teach you everything you know.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
Well in home improvement anyway.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, when are you gonna get over here? Right?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Old lot? Easy? I was at my uncles this week
in North Carolina and they're they're at the same situation
that we're in as far as leaf color and leaf droppage,
and they were just raining leaf. Oh my gosh, I
mean this is the latest, he said, ever. And he's
got ten acres and it's wooded, and they were everywhere.
And he just looked at that and said, I'm calling
(17:22):
somebody I'm not tackling.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Is this well, you're gonna go out and break ten
acres of woods?
Speaker 7 (17:26):
No?
Speaker 6 (17:27):
He usually blows out around the house, you know, and
around the yard there close by, and the drive that
looks along driveway. Yeah, so he blows those all off
and then try to get it away as much as
he can't back into the woods.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
But uh man, he had a ton of them.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
You know, there's people that are very fickle with leaves.
You know, they're like, I got to get rid of them, right,
I gotta get rid of them every day, I gotta
get rid of them. Yeah, okay, So here's the thing.
If you do it and your neighbor doesn't, and you
stay on top of it, you're never going to get
them all off right, because it's windy and it's gonna
(18:02):
blow around. So if you go into winter, say the
first of December, and you know, you get a windy day,
and you know, it's not like there's you know, two
inches of leaves all over your ground, but there's leaves scatter.
That doesn't hurt anything, does it.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
No.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
If they're just scattered here and there and there goes,
those are going to continue to blow. Right they're frozen
there or they could be and depending on the weather,
but they're going to continue to blow as well. So, no,
there is a point where you've done everything you can
to collect up your leaves and that's you know, that's
what you do.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
I'm sure there's exceptions to the rule occasionally, but yeah,
oh you just let the mother nature take care from
that point on. But again, we've got this big push
to leave the leaves, and I get it, you know,
as far as the wildlife and overwinnering of a lot
of critters out there. But you can leave the leaves everywhere,
but don't leave the leaves on the lawn. And if
even if your lawn right now has probably stopped growing,
(18:55):
you're probably not mowing, but the leaves are still falling,
you keep mowing. Wait, right, so you're not monograss anymore. Right,
you're just mowing those leaves, yep. And whether you're chopping
them up, putting them back into the turf for chopping
them up and putting them in the compost pile or
from ulch or whatever may be, keep after the leaves,
but don't let them lay on the lawn.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, I ain't got the thing. Always just to talk
about winterizing your mower, but don't even do that till
bout yet middle of December.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
Man, you got it?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, all right, mister Wilson, Thank you very much, Thank you?

(22:25):
back with our weekend. What do you say you're at
home with Gary Salvan. We're talking about your home and
if you've got a question or a project you're working on,
feel free to jump on board. Our phone numbers eight
hundred eight two three eight two five five. At the
bottom of the next hour, Bruce s Iaco from Jaws
will be joining us. That's the just add water system cleaners,
(22:47):
the pH neutral cleaners, the no off gasing cleaners, a
lot of good information. We'll have a discussion with Bruce
for about a half hour and then back to taking
your call, so plenty of time to get on board.
Our phone number is eight hundred eight two three A
two five five. Couple things with plumbing, because plumbing is
(23:08):
always affected in the wintertime, and that is a little
exercise you may want to do is just close reopen,
and we were talking about shutting the water off of
the house. Definitely do that once a year, whether you're
going on a trip or not. Because then taking a
step further too, if you have valves underneath the kitchen sink,
(23:30):
bathroom sink, toilets usually have a valve right behind there,
make sure those valves will turn off and turn on.
They're easily turn off and on because if you have
an emergency with a leak, pray tell, that's no time
to find out that the valve stuck. So if you
(23:52):
have it where it's a little difficult to open and
close again, we have those products like PB blaster where
it's a penetrant, Spraying that on there and just making
sure that can be easily you know, turned off and
on will be a good maintenance TEP. Also, if you
notice a maybe not so much a decrease in pressure,
(24:13):
maybe a decrease in volume of water out of the
shower heads, out of the faucets themselves, a lot of
times that's just due to calcium carbonate hard waters plugging
them up. Replacing that shower head certainly an option. Taking
(24:33):
that shower head off and soaking it in vinegar or
CLR is a good option. I think last week we
talked about the aer raiders. That's a little cap at
the end of the faucet. If it's just not bringing
enough or as much water through that faucet as it
once did, take a look at that and you might
(24:56):
be amazed. I just did this at one of the faucets,
took it off and it looked like somebody had taken
a salt shaker in sprinkled salt in there, and it's
just calcium carbonate. Is just hard water collections inside the
air raider and flushing nose out and replacing the screen.
Good maintenance, easy to do. Even though it's plumbing. You
(25:19):
probably won't get too much trouble. All right again, it's
eight hundred eighty two three eight two five five Anita, Welcome.
Speaker 9 (25:29):
Yes, I was calling to ask the question on a
house that was probably built in the nineteen fifties or
sixty to replace carpet in my basement. I pulled up
a small corner of it and it looks like there
is linoleum underneath it. Now, my question is, how do
we know if it's at festus was put down or
(25:51):
the glue. I guess the glue is thetis How do
we find out?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah, I'm going to guess it probably is. But what
you can do is you can go to the hardware
store and different places will have little test kits, and
all of them aren't great, but this particular one would
be good. They got it for mold rate on everything,
they got it for asbestos, and they even have for
lead based paints. But you can just take a sample
(26:19):
of that, put it in and it basically sends it
to a laboratory and they tell you what the contents are.
If you've got nine inch tiles, I can almost guarantee
you so it's a sheet good.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure linoleum because I pulled up about
six seven inches of it. No, and it looks like
the linoleum from the seventies.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Say yeah, yeah, Well, the asbestos even though some of
it still sneaks in, but usually started getting pretty tight
regulations on it mid seventies, mid to late seventies. So
that's how you find out. Was the glue black?
Speaker 9 (27:00):
Yeah, I couldn't see. I couldn't see any glue the tackboard.
My husband was worried about taking the tackboard up if
there was asbestos.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
H So, asbestos, you know, is dangerous when it becomes
airborne and going through your whole heating and cooling system.
You know, I mean, if there's a lot of dust,
that's where asbestos comes into play. What what are you
going to put down for a floor?
Speaker 9 (27:30):
Well, they were going to, excuse me, put a carpet
over it. Take the tackboard up and put carpet or
big rug.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Were you going to have the So are you you're
not going to put wall to wall carpet down there? Again?
Correct at this.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
Point, probably no, But they wanted to take the carpet
up because it smells.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Okay, So are you going to leave the linoya? Man?
Is your floor?
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Then?
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Is that the plan?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, yeah, okay, all right. Well I was going to
say a lot of new building materials and stuff like
that can cover up over linoium that has asbestos in
it and encapsulate it. If you're going to lead that
as a regular flooring and take up stripping and everything,
I probably would get it tested and probably try to
(28:28):
put something over that, whether it's a engineer wood floor,
whether it's a laminate that's waterproof, or even carpet. If
it smells bad. We probably had some water issues down
there which is causing a smell.
Speaker 9 (28:44):
Yeah, that's what I told them, But you know, coming
from parents, they don't want to listen.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Well, nobody wants to listen even if they see water
in a basement, because that can be a little bigger
project than what we want to tackle. So to answer
your question, to get it tested to see what it is.
That you can get an asbestos test kit at a
hardware store and just mail a little sample way and
they'll tell you what it is.
Speaker 9 (29:10):
Okay. And one other question was is there any type
of molding for the floor that will go over to
the tackboard if you don't want to disturb the tex board.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Well, I think you're going to have to get that
often matter. I mean, if you're gonna put carpet down again,
obviously you could reuse the tax strips unless they're rotted.
But other than that, you you would have to, Uh,
you'd have to remove it. And I don't think it's
going to be you know. I mean, you know, if
(29:41):
you had somebody come in and remove it, they're going
to have to probably wear a hazmat suit and everything else.
In different states, uh, and your you can do that
yourself and dispose of it yourself. And I believe in
your state that's exactly what you can do. So, you know,
a respirator goggles for tax strips, not talking about removing
(30:06):
the entire linnoleum, just the tax strips. I think you'll
be fine.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
That's kind of what I thought too. But my husband's
very worried about it.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Yep, Okay, all right, very good. Thanks, You're quite welcome.
Thank you. And I'm not trying to downplay that. Like
if you had to remove that and that was asbestos. Again,
in some states you have you have the ability to
do that yourself and dispose of it yourself. In other
states you cannot do that. So you're gonna have to
(30:37):
check with your state laws and you're gonna have to
be you know, you're gonna have to tape precautions. But
if it's just you know, a tax strip or something
like that, I'd feel pretty confident. That's a whole different ballgame.
And you know, if you're removing that whole floor, you're
seeing on offense and everything else. So big difference in
(30:57):
what you're tackling. So know what you can and can't do.
If you talk to some flooring people, there's some wonderful
flooring that can go and literally, uh, you know, if
you saw your house, you got to disclose there's asbestos.
There's asbestos flooring. But you know, if you have that encapsulated,
(31:19):
meaning sealed up, it's a different ballgame because it's the
fibers that become airborne that become the health risk. And
of course the accumulation or the more fibers, the bigger
the risk. Obviously, you start taking up linoium off an
old concrete floor in a decent sized basement and you
(31:40):
got the heating and cooling and the air handler down there. Yeah,
that's a that's a big project. That might be something
you might want to consider having professionally done. All right,

(35:58):
good morning morning.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
I am good morning. Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Got you?
Speaker 7 (36:04):
I'm sorry, okay. I am in a quarter unit of
five condos. All of the water comes into my condo
for all five condos, so we have high water pressure
and the bathroom sauce. I had to have totally repair
the inner parts like six years ago, and I just
hadn't replaced in about a week ago because he said
(36:26):
it's going to cost as much as a new bless.
My problem is we could not shut off the hot
water under the bathroom cabinet because the vows coroded, and
we went downstairs to shut off the water to the condo.
Itself because the shut off of all five condos is
on one wall and over by the laundry area there's
a shut off for all of the water that's coroded.
(36:49):
So I'm not going to touch it. But you mentioned
the product. Is there something that you put on there
or do I need to have the vows replaced?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Well, you you can try to put that on there.
It will loose in it. It is a it's a
tremendous it's called p B Blaster and it is a penetrant.
It is a spray, so you would do it around
It depends what kind of valve you have too, quite honestly,
(37:19):
but I would certainly use it. And PB blaster is
very good penetrating product that you really should have around
the house anyway. And you spray it on around the
handles and it literally works its way down into that valve,
eliminates the corrosion. Let it sit for a couple hours
(37:42):
and then try it. I'm not going to guarantee it,
but I've seen it do some phenomenal things. It's great
for Yeah, it's great for nuts and bolts and things.
But you know the old gate valve with around handles,
those things do jam up. Now, they got kind of
the ball valve, it's a stainless steel valve or ball
(38:03):
inside the valve. Those get corroded a lot less. But yeah,
p B blaster, I would spray it down with that.
Speaker 7 (38:12):
It's both had to be replaced.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Yeah, And that's why I was given that tip too,
is it's it's much better to discover that now than
if you had a leak and a pipe and all
of a sudden you can't shut off your main line.
That's a big that's a big problem. So what kind
of water pressure do you have going into your condo?
Speaker 7 (38:34):
I don't really know how much it is, but I
know that when I put on the spray or in
the kitchen sink, you have to have the water on
and make sure you don't have it on full blaster.
You're going to get sprayed. Yeah, it splashes.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah, it's interesting. So so I've.
Speaker 7 (38:49):
Really never tested the water pressure. I never thought of Ye,
I just know because all five condos get water from condo,
it comes through there. It's a high pressure here.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Well, if you have to get the valves replaced, have
your plumber just do a water pressure test and just
see where you're at, because there are pressure reducing valves
that may be necessary to add, which wouldn't be a
bad deal if you're over water software.
Speaker 7 (39:19):
Somebody said a water software also would be helpful.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Well, it may, but it would be a lot more
expensive than a pressure reducing valve. You want to have.
If it's copper pipe, you want to have your water pressure,
you know between fifty and eighty.
Speaker 7 (39:35):
Okay, So all right, because that's a good thing to know.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Sure is very good.
Speaker 7 (39:42):
Thank you much, Mary, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Bye bye, and let's get Kate. Kate, welcome all.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Hi Jared. I have always advocated for wet and Forget,
and I have always used it outside on my cement. Well,
I was at Hardware Start a couple of weeks ago
and I saw this ready to use, and so I
bought two containers of it. And this was the easy
(40:10):
way out for me. I'm ninety years old, and I
do not have good luck with the concentrate having to
put them in those containers. I always threw it up somehow, Okay,
So I used the one model I bought two, and
I did probably three squares of the concrete. It's my patio,
(40:34):
and nothing happened. So after I knew I had to
take at least a month for it to be effective.
So I called this called the company to see if
they could tell me what I did why it wasn't working.
And the woman told me, first of all, it needs
(40:54):
to have We had a drought in Ohio up this
way anyhow, and she said to spray. Put the hose
on it and spray it. So I did that a
few times, and then I just left to go. And
now when I called her, tell her that there's no
(41:14):
recognize we're recognizable anything that I used on this concrete.
There's some mold on it and it's it's black. Well anyhow,
she said, this isn't good for it's for like windowsills
and planters. It isn't really This particular ready to go
(41:36):
stuff is not for concrete. So I'm wondering if I
would take the one bottle as empty, and if I
would take some of the concentrate and put it in that.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
You can't do that. There are two different formulations in products.
But I'll tell you this, I disagree with her. I
don't know who you spoke to, Kate, and unfortunately I
think that's I think that's bad information. Why it didn't work.
I don't know if I can give you that answer.
She's right. When you spray it on there, and I've
(42:12):
used it numerous times, when you spray it on any surface.
I'm talking brick, I'm talking roofing materials, I'm talking window sills,
I'm talking you know, sidewalks and driveways and everything. And
you just connect a host to it and you flood
the area. And you know, if there's a drought and
there's no rain, yeah, it's going to be it will
(42:33):
eventually clean it. It's going to be a little slower working,
but it should have you know, especially if you're going
out with a hose in adding water to it. That
was good advice. That should have propelled it. But it's
most definitely able to be used on concrete or on sidewalks.
(42:56):
But to use to concentrate and put it into the
hose en sprayer is not going to work. It's not
going to properly dilute. What I would do is wherever
you picked it up, I would if you still have
the other bottle, I would certainly go ahead and use that,
And even this time of year, it's great. In fact,
(43:18):
it's probably better to apply that this time of year
than it would be to apply it in the middle
of August because sidewalks you talk about a drought, not
only is it dry, those sidewalks, a driveway also hold
the heat and there's a lot of evaporation. So I
don't know if enough product got down on there or not,
(43:38):
but you could try to return that. A lot of
your retailers will take something back. But in talking about
that product for probably eight years, I don't know if
I had more than one or two people that weren't
satisfied in the quickness that it did. So try to
return to one, use the other one, and let's see
where we go. But that would be my advice to you.
(44:00):

another weekend, getting a few things done around home. Happy
to have you, Thanks for joining me, and we got
(01:14):
a lot to cover today along with lots of phone calls.
So if you'd like to jump on board, do so.
It is eight hundred eight two three eight two five
five And well where do you want to start? Where
I met? It's kind of it's not hot, it's not cold,
it's kind of just nice. It's a warm. It's a
(01:37):
warmer day than it should be this time of year,
no rain till maybe in the evening. Where I met
my point being this, if you get a nice day
where it's tolerable to get out and get some of
those chores done around the home. Besides just raking leaves
or putting the landscaping to bed, one of the things
(01:59):
you might consider take a quick look at your concrete.
We took a lot of calls this summer and fall
regarding what they call spawling, where the surface of that
concrete becomes compromised. The gravel shows the concrete. It's not
smooth anymore. It's got divots in it. And I used
(02:21):
to call it driveway acne or cracks. And if you
live in cold weather climate and you have those issues,
and even if it's not been sealed for a while,
been unsealed for three to five years, you haven't done
anything with it. And you got some cracks, and you
got some spawling, and you get a warm day, hey,
(02:41):
get to work. Winters are really really tough on concrete.
And you get a lot of moisture, you got road salt,
and cold climates, you get rain. Some areas of the
country beautiful in the wintertime, but others harsh, and if
you live in a harsh climate, we want to do
(03:02):
what's best for the hard scapes around our home. And
it's not too late. It seems like falls get extended. Winners,
maybe a little warmer, but take advantage of a good day.
And today would be one of them where I'm at,
not so much tomorrow. But if you can do a
(03:24):
little patching, a little ceiling of the cracks, you might
be way ahead of the game. So something to think about,
that's for sure. And you know, tackle those particular projects
and put them to bed. All right, very good, and
let's give you the phone number. We'll kick things off.
It's eight hundred eight two three eight two five five Scott. Welcome, Yes, Scott.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Oh, I'm so sorry. I apologize. I didn't hear you
say my name. I'm sorry. Hey, I want to see them.
So a little bit of a mystery. Twenty year old house.
Removed all the original folk trim and I'm replacing with
craftsman style trim. Uh huh. And when I did it,
you know at the bottom of the drywall how they
usually be installed, usually leave like about a quarter inch
(04:17):
to a half inch gap between the bottom.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Of the drywall and the floor in the floor, yes.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Right, the when I took the trim off below, in
that gap between the drywall and the floor. In lots
of places there, they've actually pounded roofing nails into the
base plate. And I'm wondering, is that to help prevent
the trim from like, you know, when you nail it
(04:45):
tipping in?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Mm hmm, I'm gonna gas. I don't really know, is
there when you have that trim in there, can you
feel a lot of breeze or anything?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
No? No, that's an even internal you know, internal walls
and everything. I mean, I removed it all the trim
and it's they did this everywhere, and I almost thought
they did it on the backing, you know, so you know,
when you use a nailer, it can you know, do
a lot of force. Maybe when they install it, you know,
(05:19):
and like did the nail into the base plate right
that that maybe it would have tipped it in. And
so by putting that roofing nail there, it created a
almost like a backer.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah. Yeah, Well from a convenience standpoint, that would make
it easier to do, would it not.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, it's kind of a mystery.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And yeah, I mean I've seen it people with with shims,
and I guess nails could do that same type of thing,
just to hold that place and have that spacing.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, so I'm guessing.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I'm guessing with you. Yeah, I can't say I've used nails.
I've used certainly spacers and stuff like that, but I
guess it will do the same thing I did.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Because it's i mean, it's rooting.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Nails that they use with the bigger head.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, the big head.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I I googled it all over the place and I
could not find any reference to this.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Well that's why, I mean I think sometimes, uh, some
of the things that will do or something that's been
passed down and not really you know, totally common, but
obviously you want to have a little high thought that
uh subfloor, especially with you know, carpets and stuff like that,
to put that little spacer and there will be at
(06:47):
a nail or whatever. But yeah, I'm guessing that's what
it would be. Scott.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, and okay, yeah, I'm the original owner.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
So I mean, all right, you know, keep listening. Somebody
may have another opinion. Tell me you're crazy, Gary, they
all do that. I don't know, I've not done it.
Appreciate it all right, Linda welcome.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Hey, Yeah, got a question for you. We tried something
that we haven't done before, and I'm not confident that
we have all the water out. So we've typically paid
somebody to blow out the water out of our irrigation system.
Uh huh, and the cost has kept getting up and
(07:34):
up and up. So this year we tried it in
our own We shut off the water downstairs, okay, and outside,
and we had some water flow out from the drain.
But how do I know that the water.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Is actually out well?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And is there anything else I should have done?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So when you when you shut off the water inside
the home, you're you've got a little little brass cap
on that valve where you would drain out maybe a
few ounces of water there. And then usually what they'll do,
what an irrigation system does, is they'll have a compressor.
They'll blow the air out of the piping and out
(08:18):
of the heads, so they'll they'll they'll make sure all
the water's out. They'll force it won't be water pressure,
it'll be air pressure that they'll blow out through that system, right, yeah,
so have you done that.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
We don't have that equipment.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
That's well, that's okay, Well that's kind of why you're
paying somebody to do that. That water should be blown out.
So it's fine to shut off the water. It's fine
to you know, do the little bleeder, the little bleeder
valve and get the water out of the valve and
the backflow preventter and things like that. But that's not
(08:57):
really since there is no water pressure now, since we've
shut that off, that water is sitting in that pipe,
so you need to force ofly, instead of having the
water pressure, you would have the air pressure that would
then clean out that pipe. And yeah, that's why you know,
you can rent compressors, but that's why you're paying that
(09:18):
money to have that irrigation system shut down, is to
blow that water out of that pipe. All right, I
hope that helps, Linda. Thank you very much. Our phone

(12:22):
here before we bring Ron Wilson and is on that
irrigation system on winter rising it there's a lot to
know on that, but you've got to get a compressor
air to blow all that out, and you blow that
water out, so it's just a miss. But the pressure
settings are even different. I mean, you're paying for somebody's
knowledge in the equipment. If it's a PBC system, it's
(12:43):
like fifty psi, polysystems like forty. And then there's drip zones,
which Ron can talk about that's twenty psi. So you
in knowing where to insert the compressor, which is near
the backflow and all that leaving the valves half open.
There's a little bit to know about that. You can
certainly google that and get the step by step process,
(13:05):
but you got to have the equipment too. All right,
mister Wilson is joining us. He always helps us with
the outside of our home, the bushes, the trees, the lawn,
the garden, all kinds of things. And it looks like
things are starting to kind of shut down. Mister Wilson, Yes.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Sir, and I wouldn't tackle blown out my own irrigation system.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Well, yeah, I get it. I'm all about saving money.
I mean, I get it to two box but if
you don't know what you're doing, blow those heads off.
If you don't, you know, blow that water out of there,
the freezing and the cracking. I mean, you're protecting a
sizable investment by having that maintained professionally. If you want
(13:49):
to do it yourself, you've gotta have to learn about
how to do it, and there is certainly some risk
if you don't know how to use a compressor or word.
I mean, there's like everything else, there's a you got
to know what you're doing before you tackle it yourself.
So you got some research to do.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
Yeah, I think it's yeah, I agree, Yeah, forget, I
mean it's I would learn about that kind of stuff.
I learned about it, so I know how to do
it if I had to otherwise.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Can you learn about it? And you say, hmm, that's
not for me.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
That's just not That's what I say. Can you come
and blow out my I.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I don't really want to blow all the heads off
my irrigation system. I don't want to screw up the
irrigation controller. I don't want to mess up the valves.
I don't want the copper pipe on the back flow
to freeze and split.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
I mean, you know, do people still pour ana freeze
in your toilets.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Well when they take off to go somewhere. Yeah, a
lot of times they do. And it's not necessarily I mean,
I wouldn't do the ana freeze, but there's like the
US to do that.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
Yeah, I said, that's sarcastically.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, no they did. Sure, you know what the best
thing to do really, And it's not that they do
it to keep the water from freezing. They do it
to keep it from evaporating.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Poor oil or something then mineral oil, mineral oil.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
All it takes is geez, I don't know, four ounces,
take a little splash or two of it, put it
in a toilet. Some people would wrap saran wrap on
top of it because if that toilet water evaporates when
you're out of town and it evaporates out of that trap,
it's a direct line to the sewer, which allows sewer
gas in your home. And if you're gonna be a
(15:30):
snowbird and be gone three months and your house is
real dry, that's a that's certainly a risk. So yeah,
winterizing your home's a that's a whole subject. That's a good,
good subject too, you know, winterizing your home. A lot
of people there too, don't really know where the rules
should be. And all of a sudden somebody goes, I'm
(15:51):
gonna save me a lot of money. I'm gonna put
that house at forty five degrees too cold you want
to keep it. I wouldn't really go below fifty eight,
to be honest with you.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
See, I always say I think he used some reason.
During the week. We went out of town last Saturday Sunday,
and I went downstairs, and I first I turned off
the water, because if I'm gonna be gone more than
three or four days, I turn off the water.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Not a bad idea.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
I turn off the heat, the water heater, so you know,
because the water's turned off obviously, right. I do open once.
I don't know why, but I always open one spicott
just to drain the water over the pipes.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Sure, and basically you can drain too too. Really, you
do the highest faucet, you know, maybe upstairs, and then
the lowest. Do the lowest one and downstairs and yeah,
and then you got some air. Just drains faster. Yeah,
that's the main reason.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Yep. And then they then the thermostat at about sixty. Yeah,
that's plenty fifty eight something like that.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
That's a really good spot. That's the sweets.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
And the only reason I do that is because I
learned that from Gary Carleman.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I try to teach you everything you know.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
Well in home improvement anyway.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, when are you gonna get over here? Right?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Old lot? Easy? I was at my uncles this week
in North Carolina and they're they're at the same situation
that we're in as far as leaf color and leaf droppage,
and they were just raining leaf. Oh my gosh, I
mean this is the latest, he said, ever. And he's
got ten acres and it's wooded, and they were everywhere.
And he just looked at that and said, I'm calling
(17:22):
somebody I'm not tackling.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Is this well, you're gonna go out and break ten
acres of woods?
Speaker 7 (17:26):
No?
Speaker 6 (17:27):
He usually blows out around the house, you know, and
around the yard there close by, and the drive that
looks along driveway. Yeah, so he blows those all off
and then try to get it away as much as
he can't back into the woods.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
But uh man, he had a ton of them.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
You know, there's people that are very fickle with leaves.
You know, they're like, I got to get rid of them, right,
I gotta get rid of them every day, I gotta
get rid of them. Yeah, okay, So here's the thing.
If you do it and your neighbor doesn't, and you
stay on top of it, you're never going to get
them all off right, because it's windy and it's gonna
(18:02):
blow around. So if you go into winter, say the
first of December, and you know, you get a windy day,
and you know, it's not like there's you know, two
inches of leaves all over your ground, but there's leaves scatter.
That doesn't hurt anything, does it.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
No.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
If they're just scattered here and there and there goes,
those are going to continue to blow. Right they're frozen
there or they could be and depending on the weather,
but they're going to continue to blow as well. So, no,
there is a point where you've done everything you can
to collect up your leaves and that's you know, that's
what you do.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
I'm sure there's exceptions to the rule occasionally, but yeah,
oh you just let the mother nature take care from
that point on. But again, we've got this big push
to leave the leaves, and I get it, you know,
as far as the wildlife and overwinnering of a lot
of critters out there. But you can leave the leaves everywhere,
but don't leave the leaves on the lawn. And if
even if your lawn right now has probably stopped growing,
(18:55):
you're probably not mowing, but the leaves are still falling,
you keep mowing. Wait, right, so you're not monograss anymore. Right,
you're just mowing those leaves, yep. And whether you're chopping
them up, putting them back into the turf for chopping
them up and putting them in the compost pile or
from ulch or whatever may be, keep after the leaves,
but don't let them lay on the lawn.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, I ain't got the thing. Always just to talk
about winterizing your mower, but don't even do that till
bout yet middle of December.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
Man, you got it?
Speaker 1 (19:22):

back with our weekend. What do you say you're at
home with Gary Salvan. We're talking about your home and
if you've got a question or a project you're working on,
feel free to jump on board. Our phone numbers eight
hundred eight two three eight two five five. At the
bottom of the next hour, Bruce s Iaco from Jaws
will be joining us. That's the just add water system cleaners,
(22:47):
the pH neutral cleaners, the no off gasing cleaners, a
lot of good information. We'll have a discussion with Bruce
for about a half hour and then back to taking
your call, so plenty of time to get on board.
Our phone number is eight hundred eight two three A
two five five. Couple things with plumbing, because plumbing is
(23:08):
always affected in the wintertime, and that is a little
exercise you may want to do is just close reopen,
and we were talking about shutting the water off of
the house. Definitely do that once a year, whether you're
going on a trip or not. Because then taking a
step further too, if you have valves underneath the kitchen sink,
(23:30):
bathroom sink, toilets usually have a valve right behind there,
make sure those valves will turn off and turn on.
They're easily turn off and on because if you have
an emergency with a leak, pray tell, that's no time
to find out that the valve stuck. So if you
(23:52):
have it where it's a little difficult to open and
close again, we have those products like PB blaster where
it's a penetrant, Spraying that on there and just making
sure that can be easily you know, turned off and
on will be a good maintenance TEP. Also, if you
notice a maybe not so much a decrease in pressure,
(24:13):
maybe a decrease in volume of water out of the
shower heads, out of the faucets themselves, a lot of
times that's just due to calcium carbonate hard waters plugging
them up. Replacing that shower head certainly an option. Taking
(24:33):
that shower head off and soaking it in vinegar or
CLR is a good option. I think last week we
talked about the aer raiders. That's a little cap at
the end of the faucet. If it's just not bringing
enough or as much water through that faucet as it
once did, take a look at that and you might
(24:56):
be amazed. I just did this at one of the faucets,
took it off and it looked like somebody had taken
a salt shaker in sprinkled salt in there, and it's
just calcium carbonate. Is just hard water collections inside the
air raider and flushing nose out and replacing the screen.
Good maintenance, easy to do. Even though it's plumbing. You
(25:19):
probably won't get too much trouble. All right again, it's
eight hundred eighty two three eight two five five Anita, Welcome.
Speaker 9 (25:29):
Yes, I was calling to ask the question on a
house that was probably built in the nineteen fifties or
sixty to replace carpet in my basement. I pulled up
a small corner of it and it looks like there
is linoleum underneath it. Now, my question is, how do
we know if it's at festus was put down or
(25:51):
the glue. I guess the glue is thetis How do
we find out?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah, I'm going to guess it probably is. But what
you can do is you can go to the hardware
store and different places will have little test kits, and
all of them aren't great, but this particular one would
be good. They got it for mold rate on everything,
they got it for asbestos, and they even have for
lead based paints. But you can just take a sample
(26:19):
of that, put it in and it basically sends it
to a laboratory and they tell you what the contents are.
If you've got nine inch tiles, I can almost guarantee
you so it's a sheet good.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure linoleum because I pulled up about
six seven inches of it. No, and it looks like
the linoleum from the seventies.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Say yeah, yeah, Well, the asbestos even though some of
it still sneaks in, but usually started getting pretty tight
regulations on it mid seventies, mid to late seventies. So
that's how you find out. Was the glue black?
Speaker 9 (27:00):
Yeah, I couldn't see. I couldn't see any glue the tackboard.
My husband was worried about taking the tackboard up if
there was asbestos.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
H So, asbestos, you know, is dangerous when it becomes
airborne and going through your whole heating and cooling system.
You know, I mean, if there's a lot of dust,
that's where asbestos comes into play. What what are you
going to put down for a floor?
Speaker 9 (27:30):
Well, they were going to, excuse me, put a carpet
over it. Take the tackboard up and put carpet or
big rug.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Were you going to have the So are you you're
not going to put wall to wall carpet down there? Again?
Correct at this.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
Point, probably no, But they wanted to take the carpet
up because it smells.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Okay, So are you going to leave the linoya? Man?
Is your floor?
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Then?
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Is that the plan?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, yeah, okay, all right. Well I was going to
say a lot of new building materials and stuff like
that can cover up over linoium that has asbestos in
it and encapsulate it. If you're going to lead that
as a regular flooring and take up stripping and everything,
I probably would get it tested and probably try to
(28:28):
put something over that, whether it's a engineer wood floor,
whether it's a laminate that's waterproof, or even carpet. If
it smells bad. We probably had some water issues down
there which is causing a smell.
Speaker 9 (28:44):
Yeah, that's what I told them, But you know, coming
from parents, they don't want to listen.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Well, nobody wants to listen even if they see water
in a basement, because that can be a little bigger
project than what we want to tackle. So to answer
your question, to get it tested to see what it is.
That you can get an asbestos test kit at a
hardware store and just mail a little sample way and
they'll tell you what it is.
Speaker 9 (29:10):
Okay. And one other question was is there any type
of molding for the floor that will go over to
the tackboard if you don't want to disturb the tex board.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Well, I think you're going to have to get that
often matter. I mean, if you're gonna put carpet down again,
obviously you could reuse the tax strips unless they're rotted.
But other than that, you you would have to, Uh,
you'd have to remove it. And I don't think it's
going to be you know. I mean, you know, if
(29:41):
you had somebody come in and remove it, they're going
to have to probably wear a hazmat suit and everything else.
In different states, uh, and your you can do that
yourself and dispose of it yourself. And I believe in
your state that's exactly what you can do. So, you know,
a respirator goggles for tax strips, not talking about removing
(30:06):
the entire linnoleum, just the tax strips. I think you'll
be fine.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
That's kind of what I thought too. But my husband's
very worried about it.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Yep, Okay, all right, very good. Thanks, You're quite welcome.
Thank you. And I'm not trying to downplay that. Like
if you had to remove that and that was asbestos. Again,
in some states you have you have the ability to
do that yourself and dispose of it yourself. In other
states you cannot do that. So you're gonna have to
(30:37):
check with your state laws and you're gonna have to
be you know, you're gonna have to tape precautions. But
if it's just you know, a tax strip or something
like that, I'd feel pretty confident. That's a whole different ballgame.
And you know, if you're removing that whole floor, you're
seeing on offense and everything else. So big difference in
(30:57):
what you're tackling. So know what you can and can't do.
If you talk to some flooring people, there's some wonderful
flooring that can go and literally, uh, you know, if
you saw your house, you got to disclose there's asbestos.
There's asbestos flooring. But you know, if you have that encapsulated,
(31:19):
meaning sealed up, it's a different ballgame because it's the
fibers that become airborne that become the health risk. And
of course the accumulation or the more fibers, the bigger
the risk. Obviously, you start taking up linoium off an
old concrete floor in a decent sized basement and you
(31:40):
got the heating and cooling and the air handler down there. Yeah,
that's a that's a big project. That might be something
you might want to consider having professionally done. All right,

(35:58):
good morning morning.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
I am good morning. Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Got you?
Speaker 7 (36:04):
I'm sorry, okay. I am in a quarter unit of
five condos. All of the water comes into my condo
for all five condos, so we have high water pressure
and the bathroom sauce. I had to have totally repair
the inner parts like six years ago, and I just
hadn't replaced in about a week ago because he said
(36:26):
it's going to cost as much as a new bless.
My problem is we could not shut off the hot
water under the bathroom cabinet because the vows coroded, and
we went downstairs to shut off the water to the condo.
Itself because the shut off of all five condos is
on one wall and over by the laundry area there's
a shut off for all of the water that's coroded.
(36:49):
So I'm not going to touch it. But you mentioned
the product. Is there something that you put on there
or do I need to have the vows replaced?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Well, you you can try to put that on there.
It will loose in it. It is a it's a
tremendous it's called p B Blaster and it is a penetrant.
It is a spray, so you would do it around
It depends what kind of valve you have too, quite honestly,
(37:19):
but I would certainly use it. And PB blaster is
very good penetrating product that you really should have around
the house anyway. And you spray it on around the
handles and it literally works its way down into that valve,
eliminates the corrosion. Let it sit for a couple hours
(37:42):
and then try it. I'm not going to guarantee it,
but I've seen it do some phenomenal things. It's great
for Yeah, it's great for nuts and bolts and things.
But you know the old gate valve with around handles,
those things do jam up. Now, they got kind of
the ball valve, it's a stainless steel valve or ball
(38:03):
inside the valve. Those get corroded a lot less. But yeah,
p B blaster, I would spray it down with that.
Speaker 7 (38:12):
It's both had to be replaced.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Yeah, And that's why I was given that tip too,
is it's it's much better to discover that now than
if you had a leak and a pipe and all
of a sudden you can't shut off your main line.
That's a big that's a big problem. So what kind
of water pressure do you have going into your condo?
Speaker 7 (38:34):
I don't really know how much it is, but I
know that when I put on the spray or in
the kitchen sink, you have to have the water on
and make sure you don't have it on full blaster.
You're going to get sprayed. Yeah, it splashes.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah, it's interesting. So so I've.
Speaker 7 (38:49):
Really never tested the water pressure. I never thought of Ye,
I just know because all five condos get water from condo,
it comes through there. It's a high pressure here.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Well, if you have to get the valves replaced, have
your plumber just do a water pressure test and just
see where you're at, because there are pressure reducing valves
that may be necessary to add, which wouldn't be a
bad deal if you're over water software.
Speaker 7 (39:19):
Somebody said a water software also would be helpful.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Well, it may, but it would be a lot more
expensive than a pressure reducing valve. You want to have.
If it's copper pipe, you want to have your water pressure,
you know between fifty and eighty.
Speaker 7 (39:35):
Okay, So all right, because that's a good thing to know.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Sure is very good.
Speaker 7 (39:42):
Thank you much, Mary, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Bye bye, and let's get Kate. Kate, welcome all.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Hi Jared. I have always advocated for wet and Forget,
and I have always used it outside on my cement. Well,
I was at Hardware Start a couple of weeks ago
and I saw this ready to use, and so I
bought two containers of it. And this was the easy
(40:10):
way out for me. I'm ninety years old, and I
do not have good luck with the concentrate having to
put them in those containers. I always threw it up somehow, Okay,
So I used the one model I bought two, and
I did probably three squares of the concrete. It's my patio,
(40:34):
and nothing happened. So after I knew I had to
take at least a month for it to be effective.
So I called this called the company to see if
they could tell me what I did why it wasn't working.
And the woman told me, first of all, it needs
(40:54):
to have We had a drought in Ohio up this
way anyhow, and she said to spray. Put the hose
on it and spray it. So I did that a
few times, and then I just left to go. And
now when I called her, tell her that there's no
(41:14):
recognize we're recognizable anything that I used on this concrete.
There's some mold on it and it's it's black. Well anyhow,
she said, this isn't good for it's for like windowsills
and planters. It isn't really This particular ready to go
(41:36):
stuff is not for concrete. So I'm wondering if I
would take the one bottle as empty, and if I
would take some of the concentrate and put it in that.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
You can't do that. There are two different formulations in products.
But I'll tell you this, I disagree with her. I
don't know who you spoke to, Kate, and unfortunately I
think that's I think that's bad information. Why it didn't work.
I don't know if I can give you that answer.
She's right. When you spray it on there, and I've
(42:12):
used it numerous times, when you spray it on any surface.
I'm talking brick, I'm talking roofing materials, I'm talking window sills,
I'm talking you know, sidewalks and driveways and everything. And
you just connect a host to it and you flood
the area. And you know, if there's a drought and
there's no rain, yeah, it's going to be it will
(42:33):
eventually clean it. It's going to be a little slower working,
but it should have you know, especially if you're going
out with a hose in adding water to it. That
was good advice. That should have propelled it. But it's
most definitely able to be used on concrete or on sidewalks.
(42:56):
But to use to concentrate and put it into the
hose en sprayer is not going to work. It's not
going to properly dilute. What I would do is wherever
you picked it up, I would if you still have
the other bottle, I would certainly go ahead and use that,
And even this time of year, it's great. In fact,
(43:18):
it's probably better to apply that this time of year
than it would be to apply it in the middle
of August because sidewalks you talk about a drought, not
only is it dry, those sidewalks, a driveway also hold
the heat and there's a lot of evaporation. So I
don't know if enough product got down on there or not,
(43:38):
but you could try to return that. A lot of
your retailers will take something back. But in talking about
that product for probably eight years, I don't know if
I had more than one or two people that weren't
satisfied in the quickness that it did. So try to
return to one, use the other one, and let's see
where we go. But that would be my advice to you.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
