right now you can take advantage of their Memorial Day
sale is thirty percent off store wide sale. And all
(00:53):
you gotta do is go to gutterbrush dot com and

a giant bottle brush slides into the gutters, easy to
you'd probably do your whole house for two urn fifty
bucks and those clogged gutters. We thank gutter Bush and
scutterbush dot com for sponsoring this hour of the show.
All right back to the phones we go, Scott, Jerry,
(01:15):
Tim and Rich sit Tight. I want to get your
input on those mowers and Joan Welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Hey, Gary, Happy Memorial Day.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I wanted to give you a tip on how to
check your propane tank level. Okay, now a full disclosure.
I have not personally done this, but I've seen it
online demonstrated and it looks like it makes sense. So
what you gotta do is You get some couple cups
of water and you heat it up either in the
(01:47):
microwave or on top of the stove pretty hot, you know,
two hundred degrees maybe, and take it out to the
throw paine tank and pour it down the side from
top to bottom of propane tank. And then run your
hand down the side where you poured the water. Where
it's hot, there is no propane where the level when
(02:10):
the temperature changes to cool, that is the level of
your propane.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
That's a great tip and that does work. I have
used that.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
The interesting thing joke down I was saying, maybe this
happens to you. It's like, how can you go for
like two months without filling the propane tank and then
one day go out to grill and you go, today's
the day that tank is going to be empty, and
dog on it it is.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I mean yeah, probably probably happened this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I think mine's still good. But yeah, that's a great tip. Yeah,
that's a that is a.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Good tip because it's always colder where the propane is
absolutely for sure. They also have little stre upset you
can put on a tank that can actually register where
it's cold, and you can see the level of the
propane I was.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I was just kind of throwing it out there. It's like,
how do we know that.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It seems like I'm going to say eighty percent of
the time that I run out of propane, I have
an intuition that today's the dam going.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
To run out.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well, it saves you. That tip saves you from bringing
out the bathroom scale and measuring the tank and you
go down and subtracting the the whole deal.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So I agree that your way.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I appreciate it. Thanks for holding on. Thank you very much.
All right, let's go to Jerry.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Jerry.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Welcome, Thank you Gary, Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Quite welcome.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I told your producer that I have an electric mower
that's eight years old. I just looked at my receipt
and that mower is going on fourteen years old. So
I'm thinking it may have been one of the you know,
early mower electric mowers on the market.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Okay, and you're talking to battery battery, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
I'm sorry. Yes, that's a great mower. And the interesting
thing about this mower is that it does not take
lithium batteries. I'm thinking that in the early days of
electric mowers. They probably took standard storage batteries heav has, right,
(04:27):
But my mower is only fourteen inches wide, and I
wanted the smallest, lightest mower that money could buy at
the time. And I've got a writing line mower, which
I can get like ninety five percent of my yard
work done with. But those nooks and crannies, and I've
(04:48):
got a hill that I used the smaller electric battery
mower for that. Ok Now, it has two twelve volt
batteries in it makes the total of twenty four bowl system.
And you know, if you go to the company that
sold me this mower, those batteries would cost you probably
(05:12):
seventy five eighty five dollars, But you can buy the
batteries for eight dollars each because they're just standard little
motorcycle batteries. And so in the thirteen or fourteen years
I've owned this mower, I've changed the batteries twice. So
(05:33):
I couldn't be happier with this battery operated electric mower.
And it still runs like a new one.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Excellent. So I love it very good. Plenty of torque.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
On that right, yeah, oh yeah, sure, super yeah, all right,
it's a great little mower.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I do appreciate your input. I'm trying to just, you know,
help everybody out. I know a lot of people have
asked me question this wet spring, and I just wanted
to get everybody else's input too, So thank you.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
You're welcome, all.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Right, take care, bye bye. All right. Then let's go
to Rich Rich. Welcome.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Hi Gary.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Yes, name's Rich. I'm right on the water. I live
in Sanduskio, Ohio, and I have an Echo lawnmower. My
wife uses it and it's a great more. What I
like is you can flip it over on the side
without worrying about the oil, right, And the one thing
(06:35):
I do have. It took me a while figured this out.
Under decking, you gotta clean it. You cannot use the hose.
So I got some stuff my daughter got for me
on the internet that I spray non stick. Right, that's
(06:57):
a big thing. And I probably so five Echo lawnmowers myself,
just by people talking to me.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Is it a self propelled Rich.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Yeah, it's self propelled, and it's like a treadmill if you.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Want it to be well that you know, that was
gonna be my question. That was gonna be my question.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I've been to different you know, power equipment shows and
different things that are right down in Louisville, the national
one and the the self propelled. Different brands kind of
work different ways. Some of them they have a good
speed and control, you can move it. Others are very
very touchy. They go real fast or they kind of
(07:40):
slow down real quick. I was just curious your input
on that.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Yeah, I have a bunch of batteries. The problem I
had was the first one I got turned bad wouldn't work.
I took it to where I bought it at Lowells
and they exchanged it for another more, which totally blew
me away. But I also didn't realize how long it
(08:07):
was going to get a take that I wasn't paying
for two lawnmowers on my Lowes fill. But I finally
got that result. And then I got a fifteen year
old grandson who hates cutting the grass. He's got an
old hind the more that his dad makes use and
(08:29):
it won't die. My son in law pulled it out
of the garage and I asked him, I said, did
you drain the gas? He goes, I never.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Drained the gas.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
It'll start and I said, well, I'll sit here and
watch it start. And sure enough it started. And I've
been trying to explain to my grandson, who hates bagging grass,
there's a way to solve that. Quinn cut the grass
more often.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
That's exactly true.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
I hand him up here to Sandusky and I let
him use his Grahama's line more and he was totally sold.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
There you go, There you go.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
But now I gotta get his dad up here so
he can try it.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
There you go. You know.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
One of the interesting things too. And when I was
talking to Ron Wilson, he was talking about how you
should really only take off the third of the grass blade.
And not to make this a gardening show, but I
think we're all kind of if you're in an area
where it's been a rainy spring, really battling that this year.
I don't care whether it's an electric mower or a
(09:38):
battery mower or a gas mower. You know, if you're
not mowing probably every three four days, you're probably taking
off half the grass blade. And that can be tough,
not only for electric mowers but also gas powered mowers.
So a lot of us find ourselves just keep raising
the hythe and raising the Hythen according to Ron.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
That's probably a good thing, all right, Well, take a break.
We got Scott, Tim and Mark. When we come back
and you're at home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Well.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Ants are known for being hardworking and industrious, which is
bad news for you when they end up in your house. Hey,
Gary Salvan here. When you need to get rid of
ants fast, you need rescue ant baits. Rescue ant baits

(11:57):
minutes after the top of they are talking home movement.
We've been on a not a tangent, but just a
fact seeking, you know, journey on battery operated moors.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
If you have one, what's your thoughts. It's been a
rainy spring. They're getting the job done for you or not.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I appreciate everybody that's participated. We have Scott. Scott, you
got an opinion on moors?
Speaker 9 (12:22):
Yeah, I sure do. Is so I I was strictly
gassed and two cycles for trimmers and this, that and
the other, and so about three years ago I got
the Ego electric battery lawn lard to twenty one inch.
Speaker 10 (12:40):
Self propelled and it's slick.
Speaker 9 (12:43):
I mean I would, I would never go back at
this point my yard just about a half acre. It's
got a lot of you know, decent amount of beds
in it. But the only issue I have with it,
and it's not very often, but I decided to mow
like around four o'clock on a hot August day, even
(13:04):
though you don't have to mow too often at that point,
but if you do, the battery will degrade a little bit.
From just from the standpoint, I may not get the
full yard mode, but the other aspects of it, I mean,
there is plenty of power in it this spring, no issues,
and I was mowing when it was high. The other
(13:26):
really great feature of it is it has way more
height adjustments than any mower that I've seen. I can
adjust it, yes, eight different levels, which as Ron Wilson
would say he would he's very happy with it because
I can easily cut my tall fescue at four inches
or higher it and so that's great. It folds up
(13:50):
if I want to like a transformer, and then so
that doesn't take any space and garage. And like I said,
the variable speed on the on the self propelled part
is highly It's not it's not sensitive, but it's actually
I don't know, it's probably got about maybe ten different settings.
(14:10):
Well you can you could, you could run behind it
if you wanted to, so that another gentleman was not wrong.
Speaker 8 (14:17):
Right.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
The trimmer, the trimmor is, I mean, trimmers are one
of those things where you've got the you know, you're
reloading a twine and all this, and you've got that stuff,
the string going everywhere. This is a this is a
self feeding one. You push a button and it'll pull
that string in and put it on both sides and
it's I mean, it is that in itself makes makes
(14:39):
you never know how to switch again, it's awfully. The
whole line I've got is great and there's no deficiency
compared death gas from that.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Well, thank you very much for holding on and thanks
for your input. I appreciate it. Thanks Scott, take care
bye bye. Okay, Well, I think we got any of
input on that, and I appreciate everybody that participated. I've
had probably a blower, a handheld blower that's battery operated.
(15:11):
I'm going to guess I've had that for ten years.
It was one of the original Troy built ones, which
I still use all the time, and it's got plenty
of power. The blower is great. I had a hedge
tremmer that was also battery operated that was a little bulky,
and I'm getting less bulky, so that became a problem
(15:33):
that became a present of somebody else. All Right, we're
going to get back to the funds here and then
we're going to talk to our friends from gutter Brush.
Tim Welcome. Hey Gary, Yes, sir.
Speaker 11 (15:45):
Thanks for taking my call. You're sounding well this weekend.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Hey.
Speaker 11 (15:50):
I just wanted to do some follow up on some
things that I participated in with suggestions that you had.
This one would first one would be going back to
the fall late of twenty twenty four when you talked
about some pumps make sure they're making sure they're operating well. Well,
I went downstairs and took a look at one of
(16:11):
them and it wasn't The foot was stuck. So I
immediately discontinued trying to pump up that crock, and so
I was able to exercise it got it to work.
But however, I took the suggestion of the information at
the time and I took a look in the crock
(16:33):
and of course this is a new home that was
built back in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, and so I
trusted the contractor that did the concrete that he cleaned
out that crock.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Well he didn't.
Speaker 11 (16:47):
So there was a lot of sand and a lot
of chunky concrete debris down there. And it ended up
being that one of the pieces of concrete sucked up
into the vein of the sump and it wasn't operating.
So I got it cleared out, and I cleaned out
that crock, and then I went and got decorative stones,
(17:10):
a little bricks. They're about an inch and a quarter high.
Instead of having the pump directly on the floor of
the crock, I elevated that just a little bit so
that it's if debris gets in there in that crock,
which I shouldn't, it's still got enough room that it's
not going to suck it up into the pump. Excellent,
And so that works out just fine the sump. I
(17:32):
exercised the sump more often and no problem.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, that's a great tip for everybody too, because it's amazing.
Even we'll talk with Randy about gutter brush and stuff,
but he'll talk about how all the debris gutters can
sometimes end up in the some pump crock and so
testing it periodically, examining it, getting debris out of there,
and maybe you won't have any and that's fine, but
(17:58):
just checking is well worth it. And just think if
you don't have a battery backup and that pump uh
gets stuck, it's going to run all the time you
and burn it up. If it burns out, then you
don't know it's failed, and then we have a heavy
rain and you can, you know, flood the basement. So yeah,
maintenance is so important there too, And we always talk
(18:20):
about a lot of basement problems emanate from the gutters
around your house, so keeping those free flowing all the time.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Is so so important. And that's how we're going to
discuss next Randy Schreiber. He is with gutter brush and
we'll have our conversation with him after the bottom of
the hour. As we continue, you're at home with Gary Sulomon.

From the home depot lowserdiceh Coatings dot com. That's d
ai ch Coatings dot com. You know, over the years
(21:39):
we talk a lot about gutters, you know, whether it's
a gutter that's leaking, a gutter that's clogged, a gutter
that's spilling water over the front of homes without gutters.
What is it with gutters and what purpose do they
serve and how important is it to keep them free flowing,
and how do we keep all that nasty gunk out
(22:01):
of gutters? Well, we're going to get to the answers
of those questions.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Randy Shriver's joining us once again. He is with gutter
Brush and Randy, how in the world are you?
Speaker 14 (22:10):
I'm great, Gary, Thank you very much. Happy Memorial Day
weekend to you.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yes, sir, Yes, sir. It doesn't feel like Memorial Day
weekend down here, and probably where you're at it doesn't
feel like it either. It's been a chilly, wet spring.
Speaker 14 (22:24):
It's been called cool up here in the Northeast as well. Yeah,
plenty of rain and plenty of gutter issues to deal with.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Well, and that's what I really want to talk about too.
I was talking. We talk a lot about gutters on
his show, and we talk a lot about basement issues
and just kind of go through functions of gutters. Why
did there's a lot going on there? It's a catching
an awful lot of rain water from the roof they do.
Speaker 14 (22:51):
Yeah, they're really and I know you've mentioned this. They're
kind of your home's first line of defense against water
damage and trying to direct that water, you know, away
from your home. Awake in the property where it can
cause damage to your roof for siding, or even your
foundation or landscaping if it's not being properly directed away.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
So yeah, and when your gutters.
Speaker 14 (23:09):
Aren't flowing and functioning, they they can lead to a
lot of a lot of damage from from rotting facier
boards or you know, contributing to mold growth. I know
I heard a previous color talking about mold in the
basement and gutters of the culprit of of some of
those things, or basement flooding or even foundation foundation issues
if waters, you know, pooling and building up around the edges.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
When she was talking about that mold on that basement wall,
I can almost guarantee as she had clog gutters like
it sounded just like an exact problem you would have.
So yeah, you can get the ladders out there and
you can scoop them out. But that's a that's a
nasty job. I mean it is.
Speaker 14 (23:49):
I've done that dangerous up on the ladder and certainly
no no fun. Most people, unless you're unless you're a
gutter cleaning professional, you're probably not looking forward to getting.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Up in the ladder and scooping stuff out your gutters.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, for years we've talked about your product, a gutter brush,
and it solves the common gutter problems of gutters that
get clogged up. Explain, first of all, I think the
story of how is invented really also explains how it works,
So it kind of maybe tell us how is invented
(24:22):
and exactly how it works. And very inexpensive, folks, it is.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (24:27):
I actually we started the company. It's been a little
over twenty one years ago right now. My dad and
I started the company sort of as.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
An accidental discovery.
Speaker 14 (24:35):
Growing up in Ohio and Pennsylvania, I spent a lot
of time up in a family hunting and fishing cabin
up in Pennsylvania, and one of my first jobs was
to get up on the roof and dig all the
leaves and mud and muck out of the gutters that
would contribute quickly or that would accumulate quickly. And as
I got older and went off to school, my dad
took over that task of maintaining the gutters and he
(24:56):
found an old we believe it was an old chimney
sweep brush. It was an old like twisted wire brush,
and he thought that might be handy to scrub the
mud and leaves and you know, kind of clean the gutters.
And as luck would have it, he got distracted and
had to come off the roof and left the brush
laying up over the down spout area and forgot about
it until months later went back up there, and all
the gutters were full of debris as they as they
(25:17):
always were this place where the brush was laying.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
They hadn't clogged.
Speaker 14 (25:22):
The down spot was still flowing, and there may have
been some pine needles or little things sticking in the brush,
but the gutter was still functioning.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
And so that was kind of.
Speaker 14 (25:29):
How the idea came up about saying, I wonder if
you just came up with a cylinder shaped brush and
filled your gutter, if you could create an effective filter
to keep leaves from flogging and let water flow through.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
So that's how it got started back.
Speaker 14 (25:42):
In two thousand and four, and we've been selling it
across the country in a variety of different sizes and
capacities ever since. And just a very very simple way
to keep gutters flowing and keep most of the leaves
from creating a clog.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Yeah, and in goodness, I think there's two categories things
that everybody hate it's sealing their deck and cleaning out gutters.
And there's a thousand products on each category, so you
always can tell where the big problem is is where
all the products are. But your product really fills such
a void. I mean, you can spend four and five
thousand dollars and put guards on top of your gutters,
(26:19):
and you know, some of them there's nothing perfect, let's
put it that way, but they do a decent job
for that cost. And then there's I've seen foam inserts
that fitting gutters and they just elevate the muck in
my opinion. And I've seen some aluminum things, you know,
(26:39):
gadgets I fit on top of the gutter that get
crinkled up or blown away. I've not had much luck
with that, and neither of a lot of people. And
you came along with this very simple device. What do
they ate about three feet long? The gutter brush themselves
and you just slide them in the gutter.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Correct.
Speaker 14 (27:00):
Yeah, we manufacture them, pack them and ship them in
three foot sections, and and so that's all there is
too it. Once your gutters are clear, you want to
make sure you clear out any debris first, but then
you're just sliding three foot sections into your gutters. They're
cut flush on each end, so there's no tools, nothing
to you, no fasteners. You're just sliding them end to end,
kind of creating a filter through your whole gutter system.
(27:22):
And they stay there year round in all weather conditions
that I won't you can't promise that you'd never have
any maintenance again, in which I don't believe any of
the systems can can effectively promise that. But if you
ever have any have to address any maintenance, if you
have a certain area that builds up a little bit
every couple of years, you might pull out some sections
and shake them out a little bit and then slide
them back in. But yeah, nothing's fastened, nothing's under your shingles.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
So it's a very very easy system, super easy to maintain,
super simple. And for folks that are listening and kind
of learning about the gutter brush for the first time,
I'm sure one of the things they're thinking is, well,
we just got that season past where I had maple
seed pods or an old ash tree, and they drop
those clusters and that they're sitting on top of the brush,
(28:07):
and well, what happens to those Randy.
Speaker 14 (28:11):
A lot of the debris. I mean, like I said,
you will get some little debris that'll stick in top
of the on the top of the brush. Normally, it
doesn't really prevent your gutters from flowing and functioning because
very little can make it down inside the gutter and
it can't collect and clump together into into creating a
blockage for your gutter. So while you may see some
debris on top of the brush from time to time,
natural weather cycles tend to dry most of that out
(28:32):
and it blows away or breaks down into small particles
that can wash through your gutter. So generally, you know,
you might visibly see some debris here and there, but
your your gutters will still flow and function and there's
very very little maintenance. And maintenance is very simple if
and when it's necessary.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Yeah, And I'll tell you if you're if you're a homeowner,
and you're paying somebody right now a hunt hundred twenty
five dollars to clean your gutters once maybe twice a
year year. When you think about the gutter brush, I'm
just you spitball in a price of say a standard
house whatever that is.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
But you know, and somewhere between two hundred and twenty
five dollars and three hundred bucks. You can do your
whole house now. Gutters are different sizes also, and does
the gutter brush work with different types of roof or
asphalt shingles or tile roofs or metal roofs. Does it
work with all different kinds of roofing.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
It sure does. Yes.
Speaker 14 (29:31):
That's one of the benefits is that since there's no
fasteners and it's not touching or interfering with the roofing system,
it can work in combination with any size gutters and
any any roofing materials because nothing is You're not sliding
anything under the shingles or under any tiles. We've works
with slate, cedar, tile, asphalt, just.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
About any system that's out there.
Speaker 14 (29:52):
And as we mentioned that, we make it in six
different diameters now, so it can protect everything from very
very small specialty gutters as small as you know, two
and a quarter inches as our smallest brush that is
typically used for you know, maybe mobile homes and car
ports and sun porches, all the way up to an
eight inch diameter brush that has been very very popular
now for protecting the large commercial gutters on metal buildings
(30:15):
and metal roofing systems where other systems typical screens and
covers generally can can't be used on those types of
roofing systems. So it's just it's very versatile, it can
protect any it'll flex and form int of just about
any space out there, and just a very very simple
way to keep your gutters flowing.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Yeah, probably the most popular gutter is the five but
I'm seeing more and more six inch gutters with a
downfall of rain that we're having. It seems like six
inches get inspect on more and more new homes.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
It is.
Speaker 14 (30:44):
Yeah, for newer homes, the six inches probably the most
common size, but in general, you know, since for twenty
one years now, most most traditional homes have probably got
a five inch gutter or five inch K style gutter.
If you need to determine the size of your gutter,
you just basically throw a tape measure or ruler across
the top and if you see a five inch measurement
all the way across that top section, you've got a
standard sized gutter, which is by far the most common
(31:06):
for homeowners.
Speaker 1 (31:08):

to take your calls and discuss what you're working on.
All right, let's get back to the phone calls and
mark Welcome.
Speaker 6 (36:54):
Hello, Gary, thanks for taking my call. We just took up.
We took the carpet off in our living room. We
have a nice looking oak wood floors have a pretty.
Speaker 9 (37:04):
Good sized stain.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
We think it's probably from one of our dogs that
threw up and we put water on to clean it up. Anyhow,
we're looking to find out if you have any suggestions
on how to lighten, either reduce or lighten a darkened
stain on an oak floor are there?
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Are you going to refinish those floors or what are
you going to do now that the.
Speaker 6 (37:27):
Carpet's up no, we're not going to refinish it because
the floors are all the floors are in very good shape.
Just one spot that's probably about eight inches in diameter
that is pretty dark. We'd like to cover it up.
We'd like to fix that besides other than covering up
with rugs.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Yeah, well, yeah, there's always things. I go by steps
on how to take care of that. And then my
lasting remark, well as you could live with it and
call it character.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
So just so you know where I'm going with this.
So the first option that.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Most people will do is I mean you're going to
there's not like something you squirt it on and everything's fine.
I mean, there's things that can add a little bit
of sheen and things like that. But when it comes
to a stain, and it usually is moisture that's caused
this stain, this black spot, and you can start with
trying to sand it out, and sometimes you can be
(38:27):
successful with that, and then you run into the task
of trying to get the stain to match, which is
not always successful either, and then you can urethane. But
sanding would be the first thing, and probably the most
ideal thing is try to sand it out because there's
probably a coding on era of varnish or eu athane
(38:49):
or something that's protecting it to a degree, and sometimes
that's worn off and that's why the water got in
there to begin with. But sanding would be step one.
And then the next step is you can use an
oxalic acid which is wood bleach, or a peroxide and
(39:12):
try and bleach it out. You want to at least
a twenty percent strength peroxide and hydrogen poside is about
three percent, just to give you an idea, but you
want to get twenty twenty five percent peroxide and try
to bleach out. That's probably the best. The third step,
and sometimes you know this might be a benefit, is
(39:34):
get a hardwood floor company out there to take a
look at it and see get their thoughts and what
it would couse. Sometimes it's not nearly as bad as
you think it is in terms of the expense, to
see if they can get it out or give you
an opinion real quick, you're not going to get this out,
which they're going to probably have a lot better idea
(39:57):
of than you are, and certainly me because I can't
see it. So that would be probably the you know,
the third option of fourth option is replacing the boards
or living.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
With it or a rug or whatever. So that would
be my.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
Maybe you know, that would be my ascending order of
how to tackle that. Maybe you call the pro in
first to get an idea.
Speaker 6 (40:23):
Appreciate input, all good ideas, All right.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Well, good luck, and I hope you get it out.
But they can be tough. I don't like to get
people's hopes up. And I had a really bad one
one time, and I worked on it, worked on it,
and I've replaced boards, I've have removed some stains. I've
also called a pro and said, what do you think?
They were always honest, So good luck with it. I
(40:51):
hope you get all right, you bet, take care, Bye bye. Yeah,
it's it's it's frustrating, but you can sometimes get out.
It really just depends on how deep that water soaked
in there and how long that stains been been in there.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Lynn.
Speaker 10 (41:07):
Welcome, h Gary, How are you.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
I'm doing fine? Thank you?
Speaker 9 (41:14):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (41:15):
I have a story about a backup some pump. About
five years ago, my son built a new house and
we had a housewarming party, and it just has so
happened to be about the time of their anniversary. So
I gave them for their anniversary. I gave them a backup,
(41:37):
some pump I got. I'll tell you right now, I
caught so much abuse. Oh Dad, Oh Dad, you are
you are just mister romantic. I said, well, you know,
I'm mister practical.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Come on, I can't help myself.
Speaker 9 (41:59):
I tell you.
Speaker 10 (42:00):
I put that thing in, and they redid their whole basement.
Everybody in the neighborhood redid their whole basement. Two years later,
they had this humongous storm and everything backed up. Everybody
in the neighborhood had their they're really nice redone basements flooded.
Speaker 6 (42:27):
Well, my guess who did it?
Speaker 1 (42:30):
You were a hero, you went, well, I've.
Speaker 10 (42:36):
Got to tell you. And I sucked it all up. Man,
I told him, I said, well, you know, sometimes the
old man knows what he's.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Doing, you know, Roman practical, practical winds out a lot
of times.
Speaker 10 (42:48):
But I'll tell you the other thing is in the
era we live in northeast Ohio, And I'll tell you what.
Almost every one of the new constructions now there put
them in.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
Well a lot of it's code in different parts of
the country too, so that may be code. And if
it don't have one get one because a lot of times,
you know, those some pump failures aren't necessarily covered by insurance,
and you know it's that is.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
A great present. I was kidding you.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
I didn't really realize the whole story behind that, so,
uh Lynn, it pays to be practical.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Thank you, job well done.
Speaker 8 (43:28):

Tim and Rich sit Tight. I want to get your
input on those mowers and Joan Welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Hey, Gary, Happy Memorial Day.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I wanted to give you a tip on how to
check your propane tank level. Okay, now a full disclosure.
I have not personally done this, but I've seen it
online demonstrated and it looks like it makes sense. So
what you gotta do is You get some couple cups
of water and you heat it up either in the
(01:47):
microwave or on top of the stove pretty hot, you know,
two hundred degrees maybe, and take it out to the
throw paine tank and pour it down the side from
top to bottom of propane tank. And then run your
hand down the side where you poured the water. Where
it's hot, there is no propane where the level when
(02:10):
the temperature changes to cool, that is the level of
your propane.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
That's a great tip and that does work. I have
used that.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
The interesting thing joke down I was saying, maybe this
happens to you. It's like, how can you go for
like two months without filling the propane tank and then
one day go out to grill and you go, today's
the day that tank is going to be empty, and
dog on it it is.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I mean yeah, probably probably happened this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I think mine's still good. But yeah, that's a great tip. Yeah,
that's a that is a.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Good tip because it's always colder where the propane is
absolutely for sure. They also have little stre upset you
can put on a tank that can actually register where
it's cold, and you can see the level of the
propane I was.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I was just kind of throwing it out there. It's like,
how do we know that.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It seems like I'm going to say eighty percent of
the time that I run out of propane, I have
an intuition that today's the dam going.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
To run out.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well, it saves you. That tip saves you from bringing
out the bathroom scale and measuring the tank and you
go down and subtracting the the whole deal.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So I agree that your way.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I appreciate it. Thanks for holding on. Thank you very much.
All right, let's go to Jerry.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Jerry.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Welcome, Thank you Gary, Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Quite welcome.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I told your producer that I have an electric mower
that's eight years old. I just looked at my receipt
and that mower is going on fourteen years old. So
I'm thinking it may have been one of the you know,
early mower electric mowers on the market.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Okay, and you're talking to battery battery, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
I'm sorry. Yes, that's a great mower. And the interesting
thing about this mower is that it does not take
lithium batteries. I'm thinking that in the early days of
electric mowers. They probably took standard storage batteries heav has, right,
(04:27):
But my mower is only fourteen inches wide, and I
wanted the smallest, lightest mower that money could buy at
the time. And I've got a writing line mower, which
I can get like ninety five percent of my yard
work done with. But those nooks and crannies, and I've
(04:48):
got a hill that I used the smaller electric battery
mower for that. Ok Now, it has two twelve volt
batteries in it makes the total of twenty four bowl system.
And you know, if you go to the company that
sold me this mower, those batteries would cost you probably
(05:12):
seventy five eighty five dollars, But you can buy the
batteries for eight dollars each because they're just standard little
motorcycle batteries. And so in the thirteen or fourteen years
I've owned this mower, I've changed the batteries twice. So
(05:33):
I couldn't be happier with this battery operated electric mower.
And it still runs like a new one.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Excellent. So I love it very good. Plenty of torque.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
On that right, yeah, oh yeah, sure, super yeah, all right,
it's a great little mower.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I do appreciate your input. I'm trying to just, you know,
help everybody out. I know a lot of people have
asked me question this wet spring, and I just wanted
to get everybody else's input too, So thank you.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
You're welcome, all.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Right, take care, bye bye. All right. Then let's go
to Rich Rich. Welcome.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Hi Gary.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Yes, name's Rich. I'm right on the water. I live
in Sanduskio, Ohio, and I have an Echo lawnmower. My
wife uses it and it's a great more. What I
like is you can flip it over on the side
without worrying about the oil, right, And the one thing
(06:35):
I do have. It took me a while figured this out.
Under decking, you gotta clean it. You cannot use the hose.
So I got some stuff my daughter got for me
on the internet that I spray non stick. Right, that's
(06:57):
a big thing. And I probably so five Echo lawnmowers myself,
just by people talking to me.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Is it a self propelled Rich.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Yeah, it's self propelled, and it's like a treadmill if you.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Want it to be well that you know, that was
gonna be my question. That was gonna be my question.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I've been to different you know, power equipment shows and
different things that are right down in Louisville, the national
one and the the self propelled. Different brands kind of
work different ways. Some of them they have a good
speed and control, you can move it. Others are very
very touchy. They go real fast or they kind of
(07:40):
slow down real quick. I was just curious your input
on that.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Yeah, I have a bunch of batteries. The problem I
had was the first one I got turned bad wouldn't work.
I took it to where I bought it at Lowells
and they exchanged it for another more, which totally blew
me away. But I also didn't realize how long it
(08:07):
was going to get a take that I wasn't paying
for two lawnmowers on my Lowes fill. But I finally
got that result. And then I got a fifteen year
old grandson who hates cutting the grass. He's got an
old hind the more that his dad makes use and
(08:29):
it won't die. My son in law pulled it out
of the garage and I asked him, I said, did
you drain the gas? He goes, I never.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Drained the gas.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
It'll start and I said, well, I'll sit here and
watch it start. And sure enough it started. And I've
been trying to explain to my grandson, who hates bagging grass,
there's a way to solve that. Quinn cut the grass
more often.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
That's exactly true.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
I hand him up here to Sandusky and I let
him use his Grahama's line more and he was totally sold.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
There you go, There you go.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
But now I gotta get his dad up here so
he can try it.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
There you go. You know.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
One of the interesting things too. And when I was
talking to Ron Wilson, he was talking about how you
should really only take off the third of the grass blade.
And not to make this a gardening show, but I
think we're all kind of if you're in an area
where it's been a rainy spring, really battling that this year.
I don't care whether it's an electric mower or a
(09:38):
battery mower or a gas mower. You know, if you're
not mowing probably every three four days, you're probably taking
off half the grass blade. And that can be tough,
not only for electric mowers but also gas powered mowers.
So a lot of us find ourselves just keep raising
the hythe and raising the Hythen according to Ron.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
That's probably a good thing, all right, Well, take a break.
We got Scott, Tim and Mark. When we come back
and you're at home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Well.
Speaker 1 (10:08):

Speaker 9 (12:22):
Yeah, I sure do. Is so I I was strictly
gassed and two cycles for trimmers and this, that and
the other, and so about three years ago I got
the Ego electric battery lawn lard to twenty one inch.
Speaker 10 (12:40):
Self propelled and it's slick.
Speaker 9 (12:43):
I mean I would, I would never go back at
this point my yard just about a half acre. It's
got a lot of you know, decent amount of beds
in it. But the only issue I have with it,
and it's not very often, but I decided to mow
like around four o'clock on a hot August day, even
(13:04):
though you don't have to mow too often at that point,
but if you do, the battery will degrade a little bit.
From just from the standpoint, I may not get the
full yard mode, but the other aspects of it, I mean,
there is plenty of power in it this spring, no issues,
and I was mowing when it was high. The other
(13:26):
really great feature of it is it has way more
height adjustments than any mower that I've seen. I can
adjust it, yes, eight different levels, which as Ron Wilson
would say he would he's very happy with it because
I can easily cut my tall fescue at four inches
or higher it and so that's great. It folds up
(13:50):
if I want to like a transformer, and then so
that doesn't take any space and garage. And like I said,
the variable speed on the on the self propelled part
is highly It's not it's not sensitive, but it's actually
I don't know, it's probably got about maybe ten different settings.
(14:10):
Well you can you could, you could run behind it
if you wanted to, so that another gentleman was not wrong.
Speaker 8 (14:17):
Right.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
The trimmer, the trimmor is, I mean, trimmers are one
of those things where you've got the you know, you're
reloading a twine and all this, and you've got that stuff,
the string going everywhere. This is a this is a
self feeding one. You push a button and it'll pull
that string in and put it on both sides and
it's I mean, it is that in itself makes makes
(14:39):
you never know how to switch again, it's awfully. The
whole line I've got is great and there's no deficiency
compared death gas from that.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Well, thank you very much for holding on and thanks
for your input. I appreciate it. Thanks Scott, take care
bye bye. Okay, Well, I think we got any of
input on that, and I appreciate everybody that participated. I've
had probably a blower, a handheld blower that's battery operated.
(15:11):
I'm going to guess I've had that for ten years.
It was one of the original Troy built ones, which
I still use all the time, and it's got plenty
of power. The blower is great. I had a hedge
tremmer that was also battery operated that was a little bulky,
and I'm getting less bulky, so that became a problem
(15:33):
that became a present of somebody else. All Right, we're
going to get back to the funds here and then
we're going to talk to our friends from gutter Brush.
Tim Welcome. Hey Gary, Yes, sir.
Speaker 11 (15:45):
Thanks for taking my call. You're sounding well this weekend.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Hey.
Speaker 11 (15:50):
I just wanted to do some follow up on some
things that I participated in with suggestions that you had.
This one would first one would be going back to
the fall late of twenty twenty four when you talked
about some pumps make sure they're making sure they're operating well. Well,
I went downstairs and took a look at one of
(16:11):
them and it wasn't The foot was stuck. So I
immediately discontinued trying to pump up that crock, and so
I was able to exercise it got it to work.
But however, I took the suggestion of the information at
the time and I took a look in the crock
(16:33):
and of course this is a new home that was
built back in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, and so I
trusted the contractor that did the concrete that he cleaned
out that crock.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Well he didn't.
Speaker 11 (16:47):
So there was a lot of sand and a lot
of chunky concrete debris down there. And it ended up
being that one of the pieces of concrete sucked up
into the vein of the sump and it wasn't operating.
So I got it cleared out, and I cleaned out
that crock, and then I went and got decorative stones,
(17:10):
a little bricks. They're about an inch and a quarter high.
Instead of having the pump directly on the floor of
the crock, I elevated that just a little bit so
that it's if debris gets in there in that crock,
which I shouldn't, it's still got enough room that it's
not going to suck it up into the pump. Excellent,
And so that works out just fine the sump. I
(17:32):
exercised the sump more often and no problem.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, that's a great tip for everybody too, because it's amazing.
Even we'll talk with Randy about gutter brush and stuff,
but he'll talk about how all the debris gutters can
sometimes end up in the some pump crock and so
testing it periodically, examining it, getting debris out of there,
and maybe you won't have any and that's fine, but
(17:58):
just checking is well worth it. And just think if
you don't have a battery backup and that pump uh
gets stuck, it's going to run all the time you
and burn it up. If it burns out, then you
don't know it's failed, and then we have a heavy
rain and you can, you know, flood the basement. So yeah,
maintenance is so important there too, And we always talk
(18:20):
about a lot of basement problems emanate from the gutters
around your house, so keeping those free flowing all the time.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Is so so important. And that's how we're going to
discuss next Randy Schreiber. He is with gutter brush and
we'll have our conversation with him after the bottom of
the hour. As we continue, you're at home with Gary Sulomon.

(21:39):
we talk a lot about gutters, you know, whether it's
a gutter that's leaking, a gutter that's clogged, a gutter
that's spilling water over the front of homes without gutters.
What is it with gutters and what purpose do they
serve and how important is it to keep them free flowing,
and how do we keep all that nasty gunk out
(22:01):
of gutters? Well, we're going to get to the answers
of those questions.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Randy Shriver's joining us once again. He is with gutter
Brush and Randy, how in the world are you?
Speaker 14 (22:10):
I'm great, Gary, Thank you very much. Happy Memorial Day
weekend to you.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yes, sir, Yes, sir. It doesn't feel like Memorial Day
weekend down here, and probably where you're at it doesn't
feel like it either. It's been a chilly, wet spring.
Speaker 14 (22:24):
It's been called cool up here in the Northeast as well. Yeah,
plenty of rain and plenty of gutter issues to deal with.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Well, and that's what I really want to talk about too.
I was talking. We talk a lot about gutters on
his show, and we talk a lot about basement issues
and just kind of go through functions of gutters. Why
did there's a lot going on there? It's a catching
an awful lot of rain water from the roof they do.
Speaker 14 (22:51):
Yeah, they're really and I know you've mentioned this. They're
kind of your home's first line of defense against water
damage and trying to direct that water, you know, away
from your home. Awake in the property where it can
cause damage to your roof for siding, or even your
foundation or landscaping if it's not being properly directed away.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
So yeah, and when your gutters.
Speaker 14 (23:09):
Aren't flowing and functioning, they they can lead to a
lot of a lot of damage from from rotting facier
boards or you know, contributing to mold growth. I know
I heard a previous color talking about mold in the
basement and gutters of the culprit of of some of
those things, or basement flooding or even foundation foundation issues
if waters, you know, pooling and building up around the edges.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
When she was talking about that mold on that basement wall,
I can almost guarantee as she had clog gutters like
it sounded just like an exact problem you would have.
So yeah, you can get the ladders out there and
you can scoop them out. But that's a that's a
nasty job. I mean it is.
Speaker 14 (23:49):
I've done that dangerous up on the ladder and certainly
no no fun. Most people, unless you're unless you're a
gutter cleaning professional, you're probably not looking forward to getting.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Up in the ladder and scooping stuff out your gutters.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, for years we've talked about your product, a gutter brush,
and it solves the common gutter problems of gutters that
get clogged up. Explain, first of all, I think the
story of how is invented really also explains how it works,
So it kind of maybe tell us how is invented
(24:22):
and exactly how it works. And very inexpensive, folks, it is.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (24:27):
I actually we started the company. It's been a little
over twenty one years ago right now. My dad and
I started the company sort of as.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
An accidental discovery.
Speaker 14 (24:35):
Growing up in Ohio and Pennsylvania, I spent a lot
of time up in a family hunting and fishing cabin
up in Pennsylvania, and one of my first jobs was
to get up on the roof and dig all the
leaves and mud and muck out of the gutters that
would contribute quickly or that would accumulate quickly. And as
I got older and went off to school, my dad
took over that task of maintaining the gutters and he
(24:56):
found an old we believe it was an old chimney
sweep brush. It was an old like twisted wire brush,
and he thought that might be handy to scrub the
mud and leaves and you know, kind of clean the gutters.
And as luck would have it, he got distracted and
had to come off the roof and left the brush
laying up over the down spout area and forgot about
it until months later went back up there, and all
the gutters were full of debris as they as they
(25:17):
always were this place where the brush was laying.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
They hadn't clogged.
Speaker 14 (25:22):
The down spot was still flowing, and there may have
been some pine needles or little things sticking in the brush,
but the gutter was still functioning.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
And so that was kind of.
Speaker 14 (25:29):
How the idea came up about saying, I wonder if
you just came up with a cylinder shaped brush and
filled your gutter, if you could create an effective filter
to keep leaves from flogging and let water flow through.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
So that's how it got started back.
Speaker 14 (25:42):
In two thousand and four, and we've been selling it
across the country in a variety of different sizes and
capacities ever since. And just a very very simple way
to keep gutters flowing and keep most of the leaves
from creating a clog.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Yeah, and in goodness, I think there's two categories things
that everybody hate it's sealing their deck and cleaning out gutters.
And there's a thousand products on each category, so you
always can tell where the big problem is is where
all the products are. But your product really fills such
a void. I mean, you can spend four and five
thousand dollars and put guards on top of your gutters,
(26:19):
and you know, some of them there's nothing perfect, let's
put it that way, but they do a decent job
for that cost. And then there's I've seen foam inserts
that fitting gutters and they just elevate the muck in
my opinion. And I've seen some aluminum things, you know,
(26:39):
gadgets I fit on top of the gutter that get
crinkled up or blown away. I've not had much luck
with that, and neither of a lot of people. And
you came along with this very simple device. What do
they ate about three feet long? The gutter brush themselves
and you just slide them in the gutter.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Correct.
Speaker 14 (27:00):
Yeah, we manufacture them, pack them and ship them in
three foot sections, and and so that's all there is
too it. Once your gutters are clear, you want to
make sure you clear out any debris first, but then
you're just sliding three foot sections into your gutters. They're
cut flush on each end, so there's no tools, nothing
to you, no fasteners. You're just sliding them end to end,
kind of creating a filter through your whole gutter system.
(27:22):
And they stay there year round in all weather conditions
that I won't you can't promise that you'd never have
any maintenance again, in which I don't believe any of
the systems can can effectively promise that. But if you
ever have any have to address any maintenance, if you
have a certain area that builds up a little bit
every couple of years, you might pull out some sections
and shake them out a little bit and then slide
them back in. But yeah, nothing's fastened, nothing's under your shingles.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
So it's a very very easy system, super easy to maintain,
super simple. And for folks that are listening and kind
of learning about the gutter brush for the first time,
I'm sure one of the things they're thinking is, well,
we just got that season past where I had maple
seed pods or an old ash tree, and they drop
those clusters and that they're sitting on top of the brush,
(28:07):
and well, what happens to those Randy.
Speaker 14 (28:11):
A lot of the debris. I mean, like I said,
you will get some little debris that'll stick in top
of the on the top of the brush. Normally, it
doesn't really prevent your gutters from flowing and functioning because
very little can make it down inside the gutter and
it can't collect and clump together into into creating a
blockage for your gutter. So while you may see some
debris on top of the brush from time to time,
natural weather cycles tend to dry most of that out
(28:32):
and it blows away or breaks down into small particles
that can wash through your gutter. So generally, you know,
you might visibly see some debris here and there, but
your your gutters will still flow and function and there's
very very little maintenance. And maintenance is very simple if
and when it's necessary.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Yeah, And I'll tell you if you're if you're a homeowner,
and you're paying somebody right now a hunt hundred twenty
five dollars to clean your gutters once maybe twice a
year year. When you think about the gutter brush, I'm
just you spitball in a price of say a standard
house whatever that is.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
But you know, and somewhere between two hundred and twenty
five dollars and three hundred bucks. You can do your
whole house now. Gutters are different sizes also, and does
the gutter brush work with different types of roof or
asphalt shingles or tile roofs or metal roofs. Does it
work with all different kinds of roofing.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
It sure does. Yes.
Speaker 14 (29:31):
That's one of the benefits is that since there's no
fasteners and it's not touching or interfering with the roofing system,
it can work in combination with any size gutters and
any any roofing materials because nothing is You're not sliding
anything under the shingles or under any tiles. We've works
with slate, cedar, tile, asphalt, just.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
About any system that's out there.
Speaker 14 (29:52):
And as we mentioned that, we make it in six
different diameters now, so it can protect everything from very
very small specialty gutters as small as you know, two
and a quarter inches as our smallest brush that is
typically used for you know, maybe mobile homes and car
ports and sun porches, all the way up to an
eight inch diameter brush that has been very very popular
now for protecting the large commercial gutters on metal buildings
(30:15):
and metal roofing systems where other systems typical screens and
covers generally can can't be used on those types of
roofing systems. So it's just it's very versatile, it can
protect any it'll flex and form int of just about
any space out there, and just a very very simple
way to keep your gutters flowing.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Yeah, probably the most popular gutter is the five but
I'm seeing more and more six inch gutters with a
downfall of rain that we're having. It seems like six
inches get inspect on more and more new homes.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
It is.
Speaker 14 (30:44):
Yeah, for newer homes, the six inches probably the most
common size, but in general, you know, since for twenty
one years now, most most traditional homes have probably got
a five inch gutter or five inch K style gutter.
If you need to determine the size of your gutter,
you just basically throw a tape measure or ruler across
the top and if you see a five inch measurement
all the way across that top section, you've got a
standard sized gutter, which is by far the most common
(31:06):
for homeowners.
Speaker 1 (31:08):

All right, let's get back to the phone calls and
mark Welcome.
Speaker 6 (36:54):
Hello, Gary, thanks for taking my call. We just took up.
We took the carpet off in our living room. We
have a nice looking oak wood floors have a pretty.
Speaker 9 (37:04):
Good sized stain.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
We think it's probably from one of our dogs that
threw up and we put water on to clean it up. Anyhow,
we're looking to find out if you have any suggestions
on how to lighten, either reduce or lighten a darkened
stain on an oak floor are there?
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Are you going to refinish those floors or what are
you going to do now that the.
Speaker 6 (37:27):
Carpet's up no, we're not going to refinish it because
the floors are all the floors are in very good shape.
Just one spot that's probably about eight inches in diameter
that is pretty dark. We'd like to cover it up.
We'd like to fix that besides other than covering up
with rugs.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Yeah, well, yeah, there's always things. I go by steps
on how to take care of that. And then my
lasting remark, well as you could live with it and
call it character.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
So just so you know where I'm going with this.
So the first option that.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Most people will do is I mean you're going to
there's not like something you squirt it on and everything's fine.
I mean, there's things that can add a little bit
of sheen and things like that. But when it comes
to a stain, and it usually is moisture that's caused
this stain, this black spot, and you can start with
trying to sand it out, and sometimes you can be
(38:27):
successful with that, and then you run into the task
of trying to get the stain to match, which is
not always successful either, and then you can urethane. But
sanding would be the first thing, and probably the most
ideal thing is try to sand it out because there's
probably a coding on era of varnish or eu athane
(38:49):
or something that's protecting it to a degree, and sometimes
that's worn off and that's why the water got in
there to begin with. But sanding would be step one.
And then the next step is you can use an
oxalic acid which is wood bleach, or a peroxide and
(39:12):
try and bleach it out. You want to at least
a twenty percent strength peroxide and hydrogen poside is about
three percent, just to give you an idea, but you
want to get twenty twenty five percent peroxide and try
to bleach out. That's probably the best. The third step,
and sometimes you know this might be a benefit, is
(39:34):
get a hardwood floor company out there to take a
look at it and see get their thoughts and what
it would couse. Sometimes it's not nearly as bad as
you think it is in terms of the expense, to
see if they can get it out or give you
an opinion real quick, you're not going to get this out,
which they're going to probably have a lot better idea
(39:57):
of than you are, and certainly me because I can't
see it. So that would be probably the you know,
the third option of fourth option is replacing the boards
or living.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
With it or a rug or whatever. So that would
be my.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
Maybe you know, that would be my ascending order of
how to tackle that. Maybe you call the pro in
first to get an idea.
Speaker 6 (40:23):
Appreciate input, all good ideas, All right.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Well, good luck, and I hope you get it out.
But they can be tough. I don't like to get
people's hopes up. And I had a really bad one
one time, and I worked on it, worked on it,
and I've replaced boards, I've have removed some stains. I've
also called a pro and said, what do you think?
They were always honest, So good luck with it. I
(40:51):
hope you get all right, you bet, take care, Bye bye. Yeah,
it's it's it's frustrating, but you can sometimes get out.
It really just depends on how deep that water soaked
in there and how long that stains been been in there.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Lynn.
Speaker 10 (41:07):
Welcome, h Gary, How are you.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
I'm doing fine? Thank you?
Speaker 9 (41:14):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (41:15):
I have a story about a backup some pump. About
five years ago, my son built a new house and
we had a housewarming party, and it just has so
happened to be about the time of their anniversary. So
I gave them for their anniversary. I gave them a backup,
(41:37):
some pump I got. I'll tell you right now, I
caught so much abuse. Oh Dad, Oh Dad, you are
you are just mister romantic. I said, well, you know,
I'm mister practical.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Come on, I can't help myself.
Speaker 9 (41:59):
I tell you.
Speaker 10 (42:00):
I put that thing in, and they redid their whole basement.
Everybody in the neighborhood redid their whole basement. Two years later,
they had this humongous storm and everything backed up. Everybody
in the neighborhood had their they're really nice redone basements flooded.
Speaker 6 (42:27):
Well, my guess who did it?
Speaker 1 (42:30):
You were a hero, you went, well, I've.
Speaker 10 (42:36):
Got to tell you. And I sucked it all up. Man,
I told him, I said, well, you know, sometimes the
old man knows what he's.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Doing, you know, Roman practical, practical winds out a lot
of times.
Speaker 10 (42:48):
But I'll tell you the other thing is in the
era we live in northeast Ohio, And I'll tell you what.
Almost every one of the new constructions now there put
them in.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
Well a lot of it's code in different parts of
the country too, so that may be code. And if
it don't have one get one because a lot of times,
you know, those some pump failures aren't necessarily covered by insurance,
and you know it's that is.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
A great present. I was kidding you.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
I didn't really realize the whole story behind that, so,
uh Lynn, it pays to be practical.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
