Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, good Sunday morning. Welcome at home with Gary Salvin,
taking you through another weekend, getting a few things done
around a home. Yes, shower a little lady this afternoon
kind of we're in a run and at warm temperatures
and afternoon showers kind of the same thing on tap
for today, but week ahead, So playing your work outside accordingly.
(00:25):
We'll take your calls and talk about home and improvement
till noon today right here on fifty five care scene
at PA talk station. Well, the weekends upon us. We'll
welcome aboard. You're at home with Gary Salvin. This sturs
brought to you by tear Bender. You can check out
ter mender dot com for more Makedo in men's solutions
(00:45):
and ideas. It's available at your local hardware story. You
can also get it on Amazon. A wonderful product, a
little tube and it's for fabric. I call it kind
of the construction adhesive for fabric, but a wonderful product.
Check it out again. It's tear mender dot com. All right,
our phone number is we talk a little home improvement
together and you can grab a line like to talk
(01:08):
about what's uh well, maybe on your to do list.
It's eight hundred a two three a two five five
eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. You
can grab a line and uh, we'll chat. We'll chat,
see what you're working on. Lots to do this time
of year, that's for sure, maybe getting it done between
high temperatures and comfortable temperatures, which kind of reminds me,
(01:33):
tell you too, and we talked about it yesterday and
quite a bit. If you were ever to tackle a
project that required products to be used outside, if there's
ever a time to read the instructions, it's now. Some
products definitely have limitations and the weather will affect not only, uh,
(01:58):
you know, the ease of application, but will also affect
the longevity of the repair. And usually what it is,
it's it's coatings, you know, concrete patches, concrete sealers. You
really don't want to be doing it. If the surface
temperature is you know, one hundred degrees, it's ninety degree
(02:19):
temperatures outside, it can be a challenge just from evaporation.
We also talked about a lot of cleaners talk about
the wet and forget and again if you read that,
it'll talk about you know, maybe a cloudy day or
early morning when you're spraying it, because you don't want
to waste a lot of product, or it just won't
be you know, if if it's evaporating before it can
(02:43):
actually set into removing the moss, the fungus, the algae,
evaporation can make it less potent. So read the directions
if you're going to tackle a project. I think that's
really really critical this time of year, and so many things.
Even paint, Oh my gosh, some paints they do a
(03:06):
really good job. I can name some paints that are
not going to literally dry on your brush if you're
painting it on a ninety three day. But a rule
of thumb is always paint on the shaded side of
the house if you eat, whether it's a a trim
paint or you're painting your whole house, the shady side
of the house, and start early or in the evening.
(03:32):
Those are wonderful times to paint direct sunlight. Not so much,
I mean some of your self priming exterior paints, water base,
I mean they got a dry time. That's if it's
a direct sunlight, it's like thirty seconds. I mean it
gets very thick. The Sherman Williams Emerald, which is a
(03:54):
self priming premium brand. It has an extent into drying time,
so you know, I mean you can work that paint
with a brush if you're doing an exterior, which is
very good. And there's also additives if you want to
(04:14):
go that route where you can extend the dry drying time.
It's called floatrial. And again there's nothing more cumbersome really
than using a three and a half inch brush painting
the side of your house and having a paint literally
drying a brush, which is possible depending on the type
of paint you used, and so read the directions on that.
(04:37):
That's another one. All right, I'll give you the phone
number one more time and then we'll let's sue kick
us off. It's eight hundred eight two three A two
five five. We're talking about your home maintenance repair and
well just kind of taking care of that investment. The
biggest investment are homes. So happy to help you with
(04:59):
those today, as we do each and every Saturday and Sunday.
So let's uh, let's get kicked off here so you
can take the lead this weekend. Welcome.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well, hello, how are you today, Gary?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Doing fine? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Okay, So we just got a concrete, patio pord. Well
not just the exposed aggravate and it's time to steal it.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Okay, what what steeler.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Do you recommend and how do you apply to steal?
How would you apply it?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, so on an exposed aggregate, normally what is used
because the aggregate that's exposed is stone, which isn't going
to allow a lot of sealers to penetrate stone, it'll
penetrate concrete. So usually what's used on that is the
same type of sealer that's used on stamped concrete, which
(05:52):
is a semigloss coating surface coating sealer. So that's really
what you you know, want to use. It's probably going
to require to be you know, resealed about every three years,
depending on how much sunlight it gets you in other
words as south facing or western facing. You can apply
(06:15):
it with a with a roller, you apply it with
a rush. You're not a brush. You're not really going
to spray it on. But yeah, that's how that's what
you would use and how you would apply it. So
whatever you're using for like a stamp concrete, it'll sometimes
even be labeled as an exposed aggregate sealer.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Okay, and then do you apply only one code or
do you have to apply more than one coach?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Normally there are one code seilers. Again, there's brands, different
brands out there. There may be a couple out there
that require two codes. I don't know, but usually it's
a one code.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Sealer, okay, and then one other thing I want to
apply somewhat and forget for the outside. Should you apply
it when it's not sunny?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Does that matter?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
You know? Yes, I mean it doesn't. Let's say it
would be beneficial to apply it on a cloudy day.
It would be not as beneficial if you did it
on a sunny, hot, ninety degree day at three o'clock
in the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So not today.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Well, you do it this morning. I mean where I'm at,
it's kind of cloudy, kind of you know, it's a
little foggy this morning. There wouldn't be much evaporation right now,
but this afternoon probably get a lot of evaporation. It's
kind of a good morning, late afternoon application in the
dead of summer. All right, all right, all right, you
(07:45):
did the same. Thanks. Yeah, I'm not. In fact, I
haven't really read the instructions in probably six months, maybe
a year. I'm pretty comfortable with using a product. Used
to it on the driveway about four weeks ago. And
four weeks ago we were still kind of having coolish
(08:06):
cloudy weather and used it on a coolish cloudy day,
and man, I'll tell you what, there's areas where water
kind of settles on this driveway and it is it
can get mil dewy and just colored really easy. And
I sprayed that on and I would say in two
(08:27):
weeks two and a half weeks. I should have taken
some before and after pictures, but I didn't, and in about
two and a half three weeks it was gone. I
mean it, it was gone. And a nice thing about
those sprays, like I went and forget sprays, It has
a residual effect, so it will come back, but it'll
be since it's a complete kill product, it takes time
(08:51):
for it to regenerate and come back. So if you
went and cleaned that driveway let's say four weeks ago
like I did, I could come back next June and
there shouldn't be any molds or mildews or fungus, and
I could just spray it again as a maintenance product
and never see it again. Or I could wait till fall,
(09:12):
and I might start seeing some discolouration. I could spray
at then. So it does have a residual effect, and
I find that beneficial too, whereas a powerwasher with a cleaner,
you know, it doesn't have a residual effect. It's just
kind of blowing it off that that that fungus that
you can't see is still alive, so it will grow
(09:33):
back faster than using a product like a wed And
forget all right, Dan, you'll be up. We're gonna take
a little break and come back. Talk to Dan. If
you'd like to join us, do so. We got a
spot for you. It's eight hundred eight two three A
two five five. You're at home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Time to get your hands dirty with Gary Sullivan. Give
them a call at one eight hundred eighty two three talk.
You're at home with Gary Celibator.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Brian Thomas weekday mornings at five on fifty five KRC
and online at fifty five KRC dot com.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Thank you. Did you know? Multiple States Building coach is
Ted Cruz.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Join me tonight at seven pm on fifty five KRC,
the talk station.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
All right, back at it we go. You're at home
with Kerry Salivent taking your calls regarding a little home
maintenance and repair. And let's go back to the phone
calls we got Dan, Dan.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Welcome, Welcome, thank you for taking my call. And I
have two questions for you, all right. The first one,
the first one's about cleaning varnished wooden cabinets. I usually
use burke Is so boil for that, but I was
wondering and what might be a product that can clean
(10:58):
and also kind of give it a a polished or
a glown look.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So the Murphy's also, if I just want to interject
something for people listening, Murphy's also is a great cleaner,
but it also leaves residue, and it leaves that soapy
residue that's sticky residue. And it actually it's like cleaning
carpets with shampoo, right, they get dirty or faster. So
there's an old product. I mean it's well over one
(11:26):
hundred years old, invented by a cabinet maker. It's called
Milsic MI I L S E K and Milsic is
a wax remover, a cleaner, and a restore. It has
no wax in it, it has no silicones in it.
(11:49):
Comes in, you know, the typical lime or lemon oil,
but it's not a silicone again and or orange oil.
It doesn't matter which one. You use it and you
and you literally wipe it on and it it removes
old wax, removes grime which usually find around the cabinet
handles or knobs, and it'll it'll make the it'll originally
(12:15):
it'll kind of look wet or oily, and eventually it
dries and it does have a little bit of sheen
to it. It's it's a it's a it's a great product.
It'll do a good job for you if if you
don't want to go that route. I think there's a
I know there's a product. It's also called guardsmen and
(12:36):
I believe that might even be owned by MILLSIK now
Guardsmen's in most hardware stores. The millsic is usually in
just Ace stores and get them both online. But that
also is a wax remover and a restore. I don't
think it's as uh strong as the Millsic, but either
(12:57):
one of those will clean those cabinets something nicely.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Okay, thank you. My second question is probably a mister
obvious question. I want to ask you. I want to
feel my sidewalk, but also I want to use some
wet and forget on that. Okay, if I used to
wet and forget before I sail, will that impact the
(13:21):
sailing process or not?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
No? No, I think what I would do is I
would do the wet and forget first, and when that
appears clean, then go ahead and seal it.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Is there any particular time of the year or temperature
that might be best for applying the seal it?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Ummm, probably I would say between fifty and eighty five
is ideal for most types of sealants penetrants, which that
would be.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Are there any sailings that you might be more comfortable
in using with What are.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
You gonna see? O? Is it a driveway or sidewalk?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Just a sidewalk?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, there's a there's a really neat website that has
project specific seilers which I really like and their sidewalk
in driveway seiler is a penetrating sloxane seiler. It kind
of works like gore tex. It allows moisture beneath that
slab to exhaust through the ceiler and through the concrete,
(14:32):
yet minimizes the penetration of moisture from the outside. End.
That website is called Masonry Defender and it's masonrydefender dot com.
And the very first one they showed you is sidewalk
and driveway seiler. It doesn't get any more complicated than that.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Okay, well, thank you for taking my calls again. Some
of them might be a mister O.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
That's all right, we're all working together. Thanks Dan. I
appreciate the call. Call anytime. Our phone number and there's
a spot for you. It's eight hundred and eighty two
three eight two five five John. Welcome. Hey Gary, Yes, sir,
I got a question.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
I have a twenty one year old shingle roof, uh
and I've heard the commercials about the seilers then will
extend the life five to fifteen years.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
What are your thoughts on those on that?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, it's it's really a personal decision. It does what
it says when what they do is this seiler for
the roofs. What it does is it fortifies the granular
protection on the shingle. So it's kind of almost like
(15:49):
an adhesive that keeps the granular intact on the shingle,
which protects that shingle from the UV raises the sun,
which does the damn image to the shingle and it's
good for about five years and it's probably about twenty
five percent of the cost of a roof. So they'll
(16:12):
come and check first of all and make sure that
there's enough granular material left on the shingle to protect it.
And that's what I'm worried about. Yeah, so they'll make
that decision for you. Um, and you know, you spray
it on, it's it's good for about five years. If
you still want to continue to protect it or you
(16:34):
don't want to change that roofing out yet, you know,
you can have it reapplied and it'll go another five years.
The one thing I have not checked, and this is
worth checking, insurance companies are really getting picky about roofing
and what they're going to cover, and some of them
(16:54):
are even pro rating. You might want to just check
with your insurance company that if you put that on,
is the roof still covered. In other words, or they
say that roof you know it was failing, it's it's
it's past its warning period. We're not going to cover
that at all. So that's just something that's just kind
of prop you know, crept into the whole situation. In
(17:17):
the last few years, so you might want to check there.
All right, John, thanks much for the call. You can
join us. We'll take a break and come back and
take your calls. You're at home with Gary Sullivan's.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Home Improvement one O one with Gary Sullivan every weekend
classes began at one eight hundred and eighty two three tall.
You're at home with Gary Sullivan.

Creating real well for you from this step Parents Coordinated
Financial Planning Studios. It's fifty five KRC, the talk station
and iHeart Radio station.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Well, I've been recommending Blackjack driveways.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Here here's the very latest from around the globe from
the fifty five KRC You Center.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
The US Senate has voted to advance President Trump's massive
spending bill. It's unclear if Senate Republicans have enough votes
to pass the bill ahead of the president's fourth of
July deadline. The measure to advance the bill passed by
a slim margin Saturday night, with two Republicans joining Democrats
in voting against it. President Trump is pushing back on
claims Iran moved its uranium stockpiles ahead of US strikes
(18:33):
on its nuclear facilities. Jim Forbes has more.
Speaker 9 (18:37):
During an interview with Fox New Sunday Morning Futures, Trump
said it would have been difficult for Iran to transport
it's enriched uranium out of the site struck by American
bunker buster bombs last week.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
It's a very hard thing to do. Plus, we didn't
give much notice because they didn't know we were coming
until just you know then. And nobody thought we'd go
after that site because everybody said that site is impenditi
of what.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
Trump's comments come as his administration denies reports that Iron's
nuclear program was only set back months as a result
of the recent strikes.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Ainley's The Taylor.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
The Place for Brian Thomas in the morning, fifty five KRC,
the talk station.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
And back at it we go. You're at home with
Garry Salvent taking it through another weekend. We're talking about
home maintenance and repair and uh, there's always plenty of
maintenance and there's always plenty of repair, at least at
my home. I'm sure yours is the same. If you'd
like to talk about it, call us up. It's eight
hundred eight two three eight two five five, Hey Jim, welcome,
(19:41):
Good morning, Gary morning. How are you doing fun?
Speaker 7 (19:44):
I get a quick question. I bought the dice codings,
the marble for contotops. The oats has changed her mind,
she said she decided she didn't want it. Can I
use that as eight for U porch and four steps?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
It's a good question. I don't know. My first inclination
is yeah, My first inclination is yes, you can. But
I don't know if it says that on the label.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
Yeah, it doesn't say for steps, but it does say
is for indoors outdoors.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Yeah, indoors and outdoors. So where would we use that.
I guess there'd be outdoor kitchen. I'd call them and
just check it. I'm going to guess you could. But
I also am going to tell you it is designed
for countertops, which would be covering for mica, coreyan, and
even wood. So you know, if you go into concrete
(20:43):
and you're going to walk on there is a little
bit of difference and I.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Be on wood steps, m yeah, I'd be on wood steps.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Wood steps, Yeah, Well, I know for a countertop. Those products,
he makes several of them. He makes one that you know,
looks like granted one looks like marble one. Then the
one that just is a pigment and those can be
used on furniture like a tabletop also, So if you
(21:13):
want to be sure, I would probably call their technical services,
but I am guessing that you could use it, but
not positive.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Yeah, your show has been awesome for almost four decades.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
You've taught me so much. Thanks very good, Thank you,
take care bye. And yeah, I know the spreadstone product,
and it's designed for countertop two. That's just the one
with a straight pigment. That marble one is beautiful. It
does look just like marble. And you'll put on a
coating and then you'll put another almost like a glazer,
(21:47):
another pigment like usually like a black or something. So
you got white and then you put this black and
you take a feather and you create the marble veins
on it. And my sister used it salt not when
she was doing it. I saw it after it's done.
It's stunning and so something to consider, that's for sure.
(22:09):
Let's go to Jeff. Jeff, welcome, and.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Gary, I need to pick your brain on how to
bring my exterior luebird shutters back to life.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
There are products out there, that's for sure. So they're
Vinyl and their louver and one of the things. What
color are they?
Speaker 6 (22:30):
These are black and they're you know, over the years
they've gotten pretty weathered and faded a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah, yeah, interesting thing, you know what I mean. You
buy Yeah, whenever you buy vinyl, they always say, you know,
the color's baked all the way through. Well that's true.
The only problem the color coloring that's on the surface
is I mean, within six to eight months they'll start fading.
Red's the worst. Black and forest green probably are number two.
(23:01):
So there's different if you you know, get on Amazon.
I think the name of the product is called renew.
I could be wrong on there. There's a couple of
them that are out there. Originally, it was invented by
a flood company that does deck sealers, and they were
going to use it as a product that people be
(23:23):
a service industry. They would come and renew vinyl sighting
and it was pretty labor intensive, and then they sold
the product to site that's not a business they wanted
to be in, and it started. It's on some shelves
and hardware stores. I know it's on Amazon, and like
I said, I'm pretty sure it's called renew and what
(23:44):
it is or how you use it is there's a
cleaner which is going to remove the dirt. It's not
going to really bring it back to color. But then
the there's a restoration product that goes on after the
cleaner which goes on. It's almost like milk. It's milky white,
(24:09):
but it dries clear and that enhances that color. And
it's UV tolerant, so it will re establish that color
and give it protection and you don't have to worry
about it being super careful like you would with paint,
because when it's clear, you really can't see if there's
(24:30):
lines in there or not. So that there is a product,
but just to scrub it with soap and water and
renew that color, you're not going to be able to
do it right now.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Is that something you apply with a brush or you
spray it.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
You apply with a brush. You apply it with a brush.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Okay, And I don't need to do any other prep.
It comes with the cleaner, so it comes.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
It might even come with a brush too, And I
know you can buy it in a kid and if
I'm not mistaken, it does like sixteen shutters. But again,
it's been a it's been a while since I really
investigated your calls bringing it back to my memory, so
I know it's still out there, but I haven't used
it for a while.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
Great, well that sounds perfect. I appreciate that. Gary.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Good enough, Thank you, take care, bye bye. All right.
The phone number, Yes, you can grab a line. We've
got three or four spots for you, so if you'd
like to jump on board, do so. It is eight
hundred eight two three eight two five five pat Welcome.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
Yes, I have a question for you today, and thank
you for taking the call. My granddaughter has a driveway
that comes off of the street and it's a very
steep driveway across the sidewalk and right down into their garage.
There is no drain and every time it rains, real
hard to get water in the garage. In fact, they
had two inches. Is this last grain that we had? Yes,
(26:03):
and there is no drain. But this is a rental,
so they don't want to put a lot of money
into it, right, can Can they use the wet and
forget outdoor on the inside of the garage floor to
take care of the mold and mildew.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
No, it needs the win and forget. Now. They make
a bunch of different products, so there is one you
can use. But the Wit and Forget product that we
talk about a lot for molds and mildews and you know,
exterior it works in conjunction with the sun and rain,
so that's use and love it. Yeah, that keeps it active.
(26:39):
So without the sun, probably not going to be very effective. Okay,
there is the molden mildew on the floor. Is that
basically where it is or is on the walls and everything.
Speaker 10 (26:54):
It's come up some along the bottom.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Of the wall.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Even is the wall concrete.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Uh No, part of it.
Speaker 10 (27:01):
Is drywall, which I think they tore the dry wall.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Ah. Good, That's what I was going to suggest. Yeah, yeah,
you almost have to because that can get real mildewing
moldy on the back side of the drywall and you
can't see it. And you know that garage I guess
is connected to the basement too. Yes, yeah, so you
don't want that mold in there. So getting rid of
(27:25):
the you know, least first foot of the drywall would
be a really good idea if it's the floor and stuff.
There's a number of products. When Forget does make a
mold remover and disinfectant which is used for indoors, you
could use that that could sprayed on.
Speaker 10 (27:47):
Uh, well, you can't find anything, only the shower cleaner
and the outdoor here in Mount Vernon.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, you're probably gonna have to get it online. Okayl remover,
it's I think it's disinfected in mold remover. I think
that's the name of They changed the name of this
product several times in the last couple of years, so
I'm not that smart, and it's forget. It is by
went and forget, so let me. So that's one option.
(28:15):
Another option, quite honestly, is to get you hear me
talk about oxygenated bleach a lot, and an oxygenated bleach
would be fine for that particular uh project too. You
wouldn't have to really wait to get it clean. It's
a it's a crystal or a liquid. Mix it with water,
(28:37):
spray it or splash. Mix it in a bucket and
splash it onto the floor and let's sit about ten
minutes and take a street broom and agitate it and
just hose it off and that'll remove it.
Speaker 10 (28:49):
Also, okay, is that like your oxyclean.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
It's like oxyclean that does have an oxygenated bleach, but
you can also gets stronger versions. There's an oxygen ay
bleach house wash. There's a oxygen at bleach deck cleaner.
Those are a little stronger than the oxy clean for clothing.
Speaker 10 (29:13):
Okay, now does this have much smell to her because
she is pregnant?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I would say no, it's not a bleach or anything
like that. I wouldn't even recommend a bleach.
Speaker 10 (29:23):
Yeah, okay, good, all right, okay, I would tell him
to try that.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Then, very good, Thank you much, thank you. Uh huh
bye bye. Yeah. A little curtaindering down at the bottom
of that garage door would be very very useful, that's
for sure. All right. You got the phone number, grab
a line. It's eight hundred and eighty two three eight
two five five. Will take your call. Next as we continue,
You're at Home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Help for your home is just a click away at
Garysullivan online dot com. This is at Home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Station. Hey, Gary
Salvent here odor exits eliminator.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
It's glad back Day mornings at nine oh six on
fifty five KRC the talk stations.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Well, we're twelve minutes before the top of the hour.
At Home with Gary Salvin talking about your home, and
I guess one of the trends that we're seeing in
our homes from a i'll say curb appeal that's usually
talked about from the outside of your home, but changing
the feel of your home, of course, normally gets accomplished
(30:46):
with paint. And one of the trends I guess for
the I guess the past five years or so is
minimizing minimalization of color and UH window treatments. Now that
may or may not be you. I'm just telling you
what the trend is. And I guess my question to
(31:09):
you is are you kind of like a dark color
person in your home? You like dark colors, you know,
like a dark UH sage or darkish green or darkish maroons,
or are you one of the dark chocolate brown. I
know one of the trends outside is black and white,
(31:32):
but just one of the trends on the inside. Some
of the most popular choices now are very very light colors,
and of course warm white being the number one, which
is a you know, it's it's minimalistic, it's a it's
a great choice to making natural light softer and warmer,
(31:53):
adding adding some brightness to your home. And then you
can kind of start going into I use the word
kindly darker. It's not really that, but taking those lighter colors,
and like I said, they amplify more light, but there's
(32:13):
deeper shades of really warm white, a nice beige, real
light beige, a light gray. That's been a usually popular
choice for pink coas for a number of years now,
and it takes the edge off in all white space.
Are you into the white kitchens so or again, are
(32:36):
you one that just likes darker colors. I kind of
lean a little bit more to the darker colors, but
I know many homes are really getting into very light,
neutral airy colors. Mint green that's another one. You know,
it too has some color. It's a splash of color,
(33:00):
and it brightens the room at the same time. It's gentle,
but it is stylish and creates kind of a very
relaxed atmosphere rather than going to like a dark force
green or an olive green, just a mint green. And
I used this term probably for ten years. It's a
(33:21):
term a lot of people have heard now, and that
is a light grayish and what in the world is
a light grayish? Well, that too is lighter it's a
warmer shade. It's a combination of a gray and beige.
When you get into those kind of colors, if you're
going to do a hallway or maybe a family room,
(33:43):
I think it's extremely important. And made this mistake myself.
The mistake was, gee, I like that color, That's what
I'm going to paint it. It was kind of a
light grayish. We painted the hallway and there was a
whole bunch of windows on the other side of the
(34:04):
family room, and that natural light hit that hallway and
light grayish. When that light hit it didn't look like
light grayish. So when you're using some of these lighter colors,
I really really think it's very important to get the
little sample cans that many paint manufacturers offer. There's also
(34:30):
some that offer maybe like a sheet of paper with
that color on it, where you can kind of tape
it up on the walls and take a look. Because
here's what happened to us. We painted that and the
second day, real sunny day, a lot of light was
hitting at and are light grayis For goodness sakes, it
(34:50):
almost looked like a light purple. And Sue and I
were really working hard trying to convince each other that
that was the color. We and after about four days
we both said, nah, this isn't gonna work, and we
repainted it. It was like a chameleon. It changed colors
(35:10):
throughout the day. So remember when you're in the store
picking those out, you're looking under led lighting, not natural lighting.
Get some samples and try it where you're gonna paint.
But those light colors, I mean, you can almost take
every shade. As I'm looking at this article, you know,
it starts out with warm white, and it's taking you
(35:31):
through a very light beige, a very light gray, a
mid green, a light grayish, which is a combination of
beige and gray, A powder blue. Again, it's adding you know, light,
but it's got some color to it, a light pink,
a soft yellow. So anyway, these light colors if you're
(35:56):
looking to brighten up your home, and so much of
it really depends on the type of home. Yeah, how
old the home is. You know, nowadays, some of these
homes got a lot of windows. They are almost feature
walls of windows. In some homes. You get homes that
were built in the forties and fifties. You know, it's
eight foot ceilings, it's maybe a window per room, like
(36:20):
I said, in eight foot ceilings, so it's kind of
closed in. It needs lightning up. You probably maybe you do,
but you probably don't want to do a real dark
color in that. So if you're trying to brighten it up,
those light I'll call minimal mentalistic, if that's a word.
(36:41):
Brighter colors maybe would serve you better, especially in the
winter time. But think about that. Before you're picking a color.
You can certainly go to the store and get your
ideas of exactly where you want to be in the
color spectrum or whether it's a light pink or a
light a mentor is that a light bige. You can
(37:03):
certainly make that decision. But when it comes to the
actual color, before you paint a wall, i'd put I'd
get a little can of sample paint with that color,
or you know, a bigger color chip, maybe the size
of a piece of paper. Get it up on that wall.
(37:23):
Because some of these colors I think are very tricky
to do. They have undertones, and those undertones when a
lot of light hits them, will scream at you and
you'll be like Sue and I we did, we tried.
We both tried very hard to convince the other person
that that's just fine. Day three, I remember sitting there
(37:47):
that ain't gonna work and she was agree. So repainting
we did, and we got some samples and did it
right the second time and chose properly. But just a
little heads up on that. I think you'll be glad
that you took your time in choosing the color. And
there's there's so many other tools too. You get on
(38:08):
different paint companies, websites or even some different apps where
you can take pictures of the room and then you
put a splash of color on different walls and you
really get kind of the feel the change of the
whole room painted a certain color, or even using a
(38:29):
highlight wall you can change those colors. You get a lot,
you get you get a lot of homework done before
you actually do the project. So just a little tip
for you there. Our phone number is eight hundred eight
two three eight two five five. One of my favorite
products I talked about earlier is a tear mendor that
repairs canvas, aunings, tents, carbet, fabric furniture. It's a product

Check it out again. It's tear mender dot com. All right,
our phone number is we talk a little home improvement
together and you can grab a line like to talk
(01:08):
about what's uh well, maybe on your to do list.
It's eight hundred a two three a two five five
eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. You
can grab a line and uh, we'll chat. We'll chat,
see what you're working on. Lots to do this time
of year, that's for sure, maybe getting it done between
high temperatures and comfortable temperatures, which kind of reminds me,
(01:33):
tell you too, and we talked about it yesterday and
quite a bit. If you were ever to tackle a
project that required products to be used outside, if there's
ever a time to read the instructions, it's now. Some
products definitely have limitations and the weather will affect not only, uh,
(01:58):
you know, the ease of application, but will also affect
the longevity of the repair. And usually what it is,
it's it's coatings, you know, concrete patches, concrete sealers. You
really don't want to be doing it. If the surface
temperature is you know, one hundred degrees, it's ninety degree
(02:19):
temperatures outside, it can be a challenge just from evaporation.
We also talked about a lot of cleaners talk about
the wet and forget and again if you read that,
it'll talk about you know, maybe a cloudy day or
early morning when you're spraying it, because you don't want
to waste a lot of product, or it just won't
be you know, if if it's evaporating before it can
(02:43):
actually set into removing the moss, the fungus, the algae,
evaporation can make it less potent. So read the directions
if you're going to tackle a project. I think that's
really really critical this time of year, and so many things.
Even paint, Oh my gosh, some paints they do a
(03:06):
really good job. I can name some paints that are
not going to literally dry on your brush if you're
painting it on a ninety three day. But a rule
of thumb is always paint on the shaded side of
the house if you eat, whether it's a a trim
paint or you're painting your whole house, the shady side
of the house, and start early or in the evening.
(03:32):
Those are wonderful times to paint direct sunlight. Not so much,
I mean some of your self priming exterior paints, water base,
I mean they got a dry time. That's if it's
a direct sunlight, it's like thirty seconds. I mean it
gets very thick. The Sherman Williams Emerald, which is a
(03:54):
self priming premium brand. It has an extent into drying time,
so you know, I mean you can work that paint
with a brush if you're doing an exterior, which is
very good. And there's also additives if you want to
(04:14):
go that route where you can extend the dry drying time.
It's called floatrial. And again there's nothing more cumbersome really
than using a three and a half inch brush painting
the side of your house and having a paint literally
drying a brush, which is possible depending on the type
of paint you used, and so read the directions on that.
(04:37):
That's another one. All right, I'll give you the phone
number one more time and then we'll let's sue kick
us off. It's eight hundred eight two three A two
five five. We're talking about your home maintenance repair and
well just kind of taking care of that investment. The
biggest investment are homes. So happy to help you with
(04:59):
those today, as we do each and every Saturday and Sunday.
So let's uh, let's get kicked off here so you
can take the lead this weekend. Welcome.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well, hello, how are you today, Gary?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Doing fine? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Okay, So we just got a concrete, patio pord. Well
not just the exposed aggravate and it's time to steal it.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Okay, what what steeler.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Do you recommend and how do you apply to steal?
How would you apply it?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, so on an exposed aggregate, normally what is used
because the aggregate that's exposed is stone, which isn't going
to allow a lot of sealers to penetrate stone, it'll
penetrate concrete. So usually what's used on that is the
same type of sealer that's used on stamped concrete, which
(05:52):
is a semigloss coating surface coating sealer. So that's really
what you you know, want to use. It's probably going
to require to be you know, resealed about every three years,
depending on how much sunlight it gets you in other
words as south facing or western facing. You can apply
(06:15):
it with a with a roller, you apply it with
a rush. You're not a brush. You're not really going
to spray it on. But yeah, that's how that's what
you would use and how you would apply it. So
whatever you're using for like a stamp concrete, it'll sometimes
even be labeled as an exposed aggregate sealer.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Okay, and then do you apply only one code or
do you have to apply more than one coach?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Normally there are one code seilers. Again, there's brands, different
brands out there. There may be a couple out there
that require two codes. I don't know, but usually it's
a one code.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Sealer, okay, and then one other thing I want to
apply somewhat and forget for the outside. Should you apply
it when it's not sunny?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Does that matter?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
You know? Yes, I mean it doesn't. Let's say it
would be beneficial to apply it on a cloudy day.
It would be not as beneficial if you did it
on a sunny, hot, ninety degree day at three o'clock
in the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So not today.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Well, you do it this morning. I mean where I'm at,
it's kind of cloudy, kind of you know, it's a
little foggy this morning. There wouldn't be much evaporation right now,
but this afternoon probably get a lot of evaporation. It's
kind of a good morning, late afternoon application in the
dead of summer. All right, all right, all right, you
(07:45):
did the same. Thanks. Yeah, I'm not. In fact, I
haven't really read the instructions in probably six months, maybe
a year. I'm pretty comfortable with using a product. Used
to it on the driveway about four weeks ago. And
four weeks ago we were still kind of having coolish
(08:06):
cloudy weather and used it on a coolish cloudy day,
and man, I'll tell you what, there's areas where water
kind of settles on this driveway and it is it
can get mil dewy and just colored really easy. And
I sprayed that on and I would say in two
(08:27):
weeks two and a half weeks. I should have taken
some before and after pictures, but I didn't, and in about
two and a half three weeks it was gone. I
mean it, it was gone. And a nice thing about
those sprays, like I went and forget sprays, It has
a residual effect, so it will come back, but it'll
be since it's a complete kill product, it takes time
(08:51):
for it to regenerate and come back. So if you
went and cleaned that driveway let's say four weeks ago
like I did, I could come back next June and
there shouldn't be any molds or mildews or fungus, and
I could just spray it again as a maintenance product
and never see it again. Or I could wait till fall,
(09:12):
and I might start seeing some discolouration. I could spray
at then. So it does have a residual effect, and
I find that beneficial too, whereas a powerwasher with a cleaner,
you know, it doesn't have a residual effect. It's just
kind of blowing it off that that that fungus that
you can't see is still alive, so it will grow
(09:33):
back faster than using a product like a wed And
forget all right, Dan, you'll be up. We're gonna take
a little break and come back. Talk to Dan. If
you'd like to join us, do so. We got a
spot for you. It's eight hundred eight two three A
two five five. You're at home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Time to get your hands dirty with Gary Sullivan. Give
them a call at one eight hundred eighty two three talk.
You're at home with Gary Celibator.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Brian Thomas weekday mornings at five on fifty five KRC
and online at fifty five KRC dot com.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Thank you. Did you know? Multiple States Building coach is
Ted Cruz.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Join me tonight at seven pm on fifty five KRC,
the talk station.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
All right, back at it we go. You're at home
with Kerry Salivent taking your calls regarding a little home
maintenance and repair. And let's go back to the phone
calls we got Dan, Dan.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Welcome, Welcome, thank you for taking my call. And I
have two questions for you, all right. The first one,
the first one's about cleaning varnished wooden cabinets. I usually
use burke Is so boil for that, but I was
wondering and what might be a product that can clean
(10:58):
and also kind of give it a a polished or
a glown look.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So the Murphy's also, if I just want to interject
something for people listening, Murphy's also is a great cleaner,
but it also leaves residue, and it leaves that soapy
residue that's sticky residue. And it actually it's like cleaning
carpets with shampoo, right, they get dirty or faster. So
there's an old product. I mean it's well over one
(11:26):
hundred years old, invented by a cabinet maker. It's called
Milsic MI I L S E K and Milsic is
a wax remover, a cleaner, and a restore. It has
no wax in it, it has no silicones in it.
(11:49):
Comes in, you know, the typical lime or lemon oil,
but it's not a silicone again and or orange oil.
It doesn't matter which one. You use it and you
and you literally wipe it on and it it removes
old wax, removes grime which usually find around the cabinet
handles or knobs, and it'll it'll make the it'll originally
(12:15):
it'll kind of look wet or oily, and eventually it
dries and it does have a little bit of sheen
to it. It's it's a it's a it's a great product.
It'll do a good job for you if if you
don't want to go that route. I think there's a
I know there's a product. It's also called guardsmen and
(12:36):
I believe that might even be owned by MILLSIK now
Guardsmen's in most hardware stores. The millsic is usually in
just Ace stores and get them both online. But that
also is a wax remover and a restore. I don't
think it's as uh strong as the Millsic, but either
(12:57):
one of those will clean those cabinets something nicely.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Okay, thank you. My second question is probably a mister
obvious question. I want to ask you. I want to
feel my sidewalk, but also I want to use some
wet and forget on that. Okay, if I used to
wet and forget before I sail, will that impact the
(13:21):
sailing process or not?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
No? No, I think what I would do is I
would do the wet and forget first, and when that
appears clean, then go ahead and seal it.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Is there any particular time of the year or temperature
that might be best for applying the seal it?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Ummm, probably I would say between fifty and eighty five
is ideal for most types of sealants penetrants, which that
would be.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Are there any sailings that you might be more comfortable
in using with What are.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
You gonna see? O? Is it a driveway or sidewalk?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Just a sidewalk?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, there's a there's a really neat website that has
project specific seilers which I really like and their sidewalk
in driveway seiler is a penetrating sloxane seiler. It kind
of works like gore tex. It allows moisture beneath that
slab to exhaust through the ceiler and through the concrete,
(14:32):
yet minimizes the penetration of moisture from the outside. End.
That website is called Masonry Defender and it's masonrydefender dot com.
And the very first one they showed you is sidewalk
and driveway seiler. It doesn't get any more complicated than that.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Okay, well, thank you for taking my calls again. Some
of them might be a mister O.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
That's all right, we're all working together. Thanks Dan. I
appreciate the call. Call anytime. Our phone number and there's
a spot for you. It's eight hundred and eighty two
three eight two five five John. Welcome. Hey Gary, Yes, sir,
I got a question.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
I have a twenty one year old shingle roof, uh
and I've heard the commercials about the seilers then will
extend the life five to fifteen years.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
What are your thoughts on those on that?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, it's it's really a personal decision. It does what
it says when what they do is this seiler for
the roofs. What it does is it fortifies the granular
protection on the shingle. So it's kind of almost like
(15:49):
an adhesive that keeps the granular intact on the shingle,
which protects that shingle from the UV raises the sun,
which does the damn image to the shingle and it's
good for about five years and it's probably about twenty
five percent of the cost of a roof. So they'll
(16:12):
come and check first of all and make sure that
there's enough granular material left on the shingle to protect it.
And that's what I'm worried about. Yeah, so they'll make
that decision for you. Um, and you know, you spray
it on, it's it's good for about five years. If
you still want to continue to protect it or you
(16:34):
don't want to change that roofing out yet, you know,
you can have it reapplied and it'll go another five years.
The one thing I have not checked, and this is
worth checking, insurance companies are really getting picky about roofing
and what they're going to cover, and some of them
(16:54):
are even pro rating. You might want to just check
with your insurance company that if you put that on,
is the roof still covered. In other words, or they
say that roof you know it was failing, it's it's
it's past its warning period. We're not going to cover
that at all. So that's just something that's just kind
of prop you know, crept into the whole situation. In
(17:17):
the last few years, so you might want to check there.
All right, John, thanks much for the call. You can
join us. We'll take a break and come back and
take your calls. You're at home with Gary Sullivan's.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Well, I've been recommending Blackjack driveways.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Here here's the very latest from around the globe from
the fifty five KRC You Center.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
The US Senate has voted to advance President Trump's massive
spending bill. It's unclear if Senate Republicans have enough votes
to pass the bill ahead of the president's fourth of
July deadline. The measure to advance the bill passed by
a slim margin Saturday night, with two Republicans joining Democrats
in voting against it. President Trump is pushing back on
claims Iran moved its uranium stockpiles ahead of US strikes
(18:33):
on its nuclear facilities. Jim Forbes has more.
Speaker 9 (18:37):
During an interview with Fox New Sunday Morning Futures, Trump
said it would have been difficult for Iran to transport
it's enriched uranium out of the site struck by American
bunker buster bombs last week.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
It's a very hard thing to do. Plus, we didn't
give much notice because they didn't know we were coming
until just you know then. And nobody thought we'd go
after that site because everybody said that site is impenditi
of what.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
Trump's comments come as his administration denies reports that Iron's
nuclear program was only set back months as a result
of the recent strikes.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
And back at it we go. You're at home with
Garry Salvent taking it through another weekend. We're talking about
home maintenance and repair and uh, there's always plenty of
maintenance and there's always plenty of repair, at least at
my home. I'm sure yours is the same. If you'd
like to talk about it, call us up. It's eight
hundred eight two three eight two five five, Hey Jim, welcome,
(19:41):
Good morning, Gary morning. How are you doing fun?
Speaker 7 (19:44):
I get a quick question. I bought the dice codings,
the marble for contotops. The oats has changed her mind,
she said she decided she didn't want it. Can I
use that as eight for U porch and four steps?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
It's a good question. I don't know. My first inclination
is yeah, My first inclination is yes, you can. But
I don't know if it says that on the label.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
Yeah, it doesn't say for steps, but it does say
is for indoors outdoors.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Yeah, indoors and outdoors. So where would we use that.
I guess there'd be outdoor kitchen. I'd call them and
just check it. I'm going to guess you could. But
I also am going to tell you it is designed
for countertops, which would be covering for mica, coreyan, and
even wood. So you know, if you go into concrete
(20:43):
and you're going to walk on there is a little
bit of difference and I.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Be on wood steps, m yeah, I'd be on wood steps.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Wood steps, Yeah, Well, I know for a countertop. Those products,
he makes several of them. He makes one that you know,
looks like granted one looks like marble one. Then the
one that just is a pigment and those can be
used on furniture like a tabletop also, So if you
(21:13):
want to be sure, I would probably call their technical services,
but I am guessing that you could use it, but
not positive.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Yeah, your show has been awesome for almost four decades.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
You've taught me so much. Thanks very good, Thank you,
take care bye. And yeah, I know the spreadstone product,
and it's designed for countertop two. That's just the one
with a straight pigment. That marble one is beautiful. It
does look just like marble. And you'll put on a
coating and then you'll put another almost like a glazer,
(21:47):
another pigment like usually like a black or something. So
you got white and then you put this black and
you take a feather and you create the marble veins
on it. And my sister used it salt not when
she was doing it. I saw it after it's done.
It's stunning and so something to consider, that's for sure.
(22:09):
Let's go to Jeff. Jeff, welcome, and.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Gary, I need to pick your brain on how to
bring my exterior luebird shutters back to life.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
There are products out there, that's for sure. So they're
Vinyl and their louver and one of the things. What
color are they?
Speaker 6 (22:30):
These are black and they're you know, over the years
they've gotten pretty weathered and faded a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah, yeah, interesting thing, you know what I mean. You
buy Yeah, whenever you buy vinyl, they always say, you know,
the color's baked all the way through. Well that's true.
The only problem the color coloring that's on the surface
is I mean, within six to eight months they'll start fading.
Red's the worst. Black and forest green probably are number two.
(23:01):
So there's different if you you know, get on Amazon.
I think the name of the product is called renew.
I could be wrong on there. There's a couple of
them that are out there. Originally, it was invented by
a flood company that does deck sealers, and they were
going to use it as a product that people be
(23:23):
a service industry. They would come and renew vinyl sighting
and it was pretty labor intensive, and then they sold
the product to site that's not a business they wanted
to be in, and it started. It's on some shelves
and hardware stores. I know it's on Amazon, and like
I said, I'm pretty sure it's called renew and what
(23:44):
it is or how you use it is there's a
cleaner which is going to remove the dirt. It's not
going to really bring it back to color. But then
the there's a restoration product that goes on after the
cleaner which goes on. It's almost like milk. It's milky white,
(24:09):
but it dries clear and that enhances that color. And
it's UV tolerant, so it will re establish that color
and give it protection and you don't have to worry
about it being super careful like you would with paint,
because when it's clear, you really can't see if there's
(24:30):
lines in there or not. So that there is a product,
but just to scrub it with soap and water and
renew that color, you're not going to be able to
do it right now.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
Is that something you apply with a brush or you
spray it.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
You apply with a brush. You apply it with a brush.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Okay, And I don't need to do any other prep.
It comes with the cleaner, so it comes.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
It might even come with a brush too, And I
know you can buy it in a kid and if
I'm not mistaken, it does like sixteen shutters. But again,
it's been a it's been a while since I really
investigated your calls bringing it back to my memory, so
I know it's still out there, but I haven't used
it for a while.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
Great, well that sounds perfect. I appreciate that. Gary.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Good enough, Thank you, take care, bye bye. All right.
The phone number, Yes, you can grab a line. We've
got three or four spots for you, so if you'd
like to jump on board, do so. It is eight
hundred eight two three eight two five five pat Welcome.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
Yes, I have a question for you today, and thank
you for taking the call. My granddaughter has a driveway
that comes off of the street and it's a very
steep driveway across the sidewalk and right down into their garage.
There is no drain and every time it rains, real
hard to get water in the garage. In fact, they
had two inches. Is this last grain that we had? Yes,
(26:03):
and there is no drain. But this is a rental,
so they don't want to put a lot of money
into it, right, can Can they use the wet and
forget outdoor on the inside of the garage floor to
take care of the mold and mildew.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
No, it needs the win and forget. Now. They make
a bunch of different products, so there is one you
can use. But the Wit and Forget product that we
talk about a lot for molds and mildews and you know,
exterior it works in conjunction with the sun and rain,
so that's use and love it. Yeah, that keeps it active.
(26:39):
So without the sun, probably not going to be very effective. Okay,
there is the molden mildew on the floor. Is that
basically where it is or is on the walls and everything.
Speaker 10 (26:54):
It's come up some along the bottom.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Of the wall.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Even is the wall concrete.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Uh No, part of it.
Speaker 10 (27:01):
Is drywall, which I think they tore the dry wall.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Ah. Good, That's what I was going to suggest. Yeah, yeah,
you almost have to because that can get real mildewing
moldy on the back side of the drywall and you
can't see it. And you know that garage I guess
is connected to the basement too. Yes, yeah, so you
don't want that mold in there. So getting rid of
(27:25):
the you know, least first foot of the drywall would
be a really good idea if it's the floor and stuff.
There's a number of products. When Forget does make a
mold remover and disinfectant which is used for indoors, you
could use that that could sprayed on.
Speaker 10 (27:47):
Uh, well, you can't find anything, only the shower cleaner
and the outdoor here in Mount Vernon.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, you're probably gonna have to get it online. Okayl remover,
it's I think it's disinfected in mold remover. I think
that's the name of They changed the name of this
product several times in the last couple of years, so
I'm not that smart, and it's forget. It is by
went and forget, so let me. So that's one option.
(28:15):
Another option, quite honestly, is to get you hear me
talk about oxygenated bleach a lot, and an oxygenated bleach
would be fine for that particular uh project too. You
wouldn't have to really wait to get it clean. It's
a it's a crystal or a liquid. Mix it with water,
(28:37):
spray it or splash. Mix it in a bucket and
splash it onto the floor and let's sit about ten
minutes and take a street broom and agitate it and
just hose it off and that'll remove it.
Speaker 10 (28:49):
Also, okay, is that like your oxyclean.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
It's like oxyclean that does have an oxygenated bleach, but
you can also gets stronger versions. There's an oxygen ay
bleach house wash. There's a oxygen at bleach deck cleaner.
Those are a little stronger than the oxy clean for clothing.
Speaker 10 (29:13):
Okay, now does this have much smell to her because
she is pregnant?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I would say no, it's not a bleach or anything
like that. I wouldn't even recommend a bleach.
Speaker 10 (29:23):
Yeah, okay, good, all right, okay, I would tell him
to try that.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Then, very good, Thank you much, thank you. Uh huh
bye bye. Yeah. A little curtaindering down at the bottom
of that garage door would be very very useful, that's
for sure. All right. You got the phone number, grab
a line. It's eight hundred and eighty two three eight
two five five. Will take your call. Next as we continue,
You're at Home with Gary Sullivan.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Station. Hey, Gary
Salvent here odor exits eliminator.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
It's glad back Day mornings at nine oh six on
fifty five KRC the talk stations.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Well, we're twelve minutes before the top of the hour.
At Home with Gary Salvin talking about your home, and
I guess one of the trends that we're seeing in
our homes from a i'll say curb appeal that's usually
talked about from the outside of your home, but changing
the feel of your home, of course, normally gets accomplished
(30:46):
with paint. And one of the trends I guess for
the I guess the past five years or so is
minimizing minimalization of color and UH window treatments. Now that
may or may not be you. I'm just telling you
what the trend is. And I guess my question to
(31:09):
you is are you kind of like a dark color
person in your home? You like dark colors, you know,
like a dark UH sage or darkish green or darkish maroons,
or are you one of the dark chocolate brown. I
know one of the trends outside is black and white,
(31:32):
but just one of the trends on the inside. Some
of the most popular choices now are very very light colors,
and of course warm white being the number one, which
is a you know, it's it's minimalistic, it's a it's
a great choice to making natural light softer and warmer,
(31:53):
adding adding some brightness to your home. And then you
can kind of start going into I use the word
kindly darker. It's not really that, but taking those lighter colors,
and like I said, they amplify more light, but there's
(32:13):
deeper shades of really warm white, a nice beige, real
light beige, a light gray. That's been a usually popular
choice for pink coas for a number of years now,
and it takes the edge off in all white space.
Are you into the white kitchens so or again, are
(32:36):
you one that just likes darker colors. I kind of
lean a little bit more to the darker colors, but
I know many homes are really getting into very light,
neutral airy colors. Mint green that's another one. You know,
it too has some color. It's a splash of color,
(33:00):
and it brightens the room at the same time. It's gentle,
but it is stylish and creates kind of a very
relaxed atmosphere rather than going to like a dark force
green or an olive green, just a mint green. And
I used this term probably for ten years. It's a
(33:21):
term a lot of people have heard now, and that
is a light grayish and what in the world is
a light grayish? Well, that too is lighter it's a
warmer shade. It's a combination of a gray and beige.
When you get into those kind of colors, if you're
going to do a hallway or maybe a family room,
(33:43):
I think it's extremely important. And made this mistake myself.
The mistake was, gee, I like that color, That's what
I'm going to paint it. It was kind of a
light grayish. We painted the hallway and there was a
whole bunch of windows on the other side of the
(34:04):
family room, and that natural light hit that hallway and
light grayish. When that light hit it didn't look like
light grayish. So when you're using some of these lighter colors,
I really really think it's very important to get the
little sample cans that many paint manufacturers offer. There's also
(34:30):
some that offer maybe like a sheet of paper with
that color on it, where you can kind of tape
it up on the walls and take a look. Because
here's what happened to us. We painted that and the
second day, real sunny day, a lot of light was
hitting at and are light grayis For goodness sakes, it
(34:50):
almost looked like a light purple. And Sue and I
were really working hard trying to convince each other that
that was the color. We and after about four days
we both said, nah, this isn't gonna work, and we
repainted it. It was like a chameleon. It changed colors
(35:10):
throughout the day. So remember when you're in the store
picking those out, you're looking under led lighting, not natural lighting.
Get some samples and try it where you're gonna paint.
But those light colors, I mean, you can almost take
every shade. As I'm looking at this article, you know,
it starts out with warm white, and it's taking you
(35:31):
through a very light beige, a very light gray, a
mid green, a light grayish, which is a combination of
beige and gray, A powder blue. Again, it's adding you know, light,
but it's got some color to it, a light pink,
a soft yellow. So anyway, these light colors if you're
(35:56):
looking to brighten up your home, and so much of
it really depends on the type of home. Yeah, how
old the home is. You know, nowadays, some of these
homes got a lot of windows. They are almost feature
walls of windows. In some homes. You get homes that
were built in the forties and fifties. You know, it's
eight foot ceilings, it's maybe a window per room, like
(36:20):
I said, in eight foot ceilings, so it's kind of
closed in. It needs lightning up. You probably maybe you do,
but you probably don't want to do a real dark
color in that. So if you're trying to brighten it up,
those light I'll call minimal mentalistic, if that's a word.
(36:41):
Brighter colors maybe would serve you better, especially in the
winter time. But think about that. Before you're picking a color.
You can certainly go to the store and get your
ideas of exactly where you want to be in the
color spectrum or whether it's a light pink or a
light a mentor is that a light bige. You can
(37:03):
certainly make that decision. But when it comes to the
actual color, before you paint a wall, i'd put I'd
get a little can of sample paint with that color,
or you know, a bigger color chip, maybe the size
of a piece of paper. Get it up on that wall.
(37:23):
Because some of these colors I think are very tricky
to do. They have undertones, and those undertones when a
lot of light hits them, will scream at you and
you'll be like Sue and I we did, we tried.
We both tried very hard to convince the other person
that that's just fine. Day three, I remember sitting there
(37:47):
that ain't gonna work and she was agree. So repainting
we did, and we got some samples and did it
right the second time and chose properly. But just a
little heads up on that. I think you'll be glad
that you took your time in choosing the color. And
there's there's so many other tools too. You get on
(38:08):
different paint companies, websites or even some different apps where
you can take pictures of the room and then you
put a splash of color on different walls and you
really get kind of the feel the change of the
whole room painted a certain color, or even using a
(38:29):
highlight wall you can change those colors. You get a lot,
you get you get a lot of homework done before
you actually do the project. So just a little tip
for you there. Our phone number is eight hundred eight
two three eight two five five. One of my favorite
products I talked about earlier is a tear mendor that
repairs canvas, aunings, tents, carbet, fabric furniture. It's a product
(38:54):
you need to have around the home. We had a
person called yesterday and says he had a tube of
this and used it on all all kinds of things
and loved it. It's available at your local hardware store.
You can get it at Amazon. You can check it out.
It's tear mender dot com make doing men a lot
