Speaker 1 (00:31):
All right, two weekends upon us and welcome. You're at
home with Gary Salvan. By the way, this hour's brought
to you by gutter Brush Claw gutters.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I've been preaching this for a long time. That causes
home damage, sometimes major damage. And what gutter brush does
is it stops leaves and debris installs in minutes, last
over fifteen years. I can attest to that. And right
now you can save twenty five percent. Use the code
Gary in this it. Oh it's Gary twenty five. Sorry,
(01:02):
Gary twenty five. Visit gutter brush dot com. Gutterbrush dot com.
Gary twenty five. Not a bad deal. If you've been
putting off that, I gotta do something about that.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Got do it?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, do it. No tools needed, just slide them in.
It's that easy, all right. Our phone number if you'd
like to join us is eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five. And of course, talking about your
home projects, we've talked about sealing concrete, and boy, if
you're talking about timely projects, sealing concrete is certainly one
(01:35):
of them.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
If it's been a while.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
And especially especially if you live in a northern climate
where there's maybe you don't use ice melling agents. But
if you drive, you're picking it up off the street.
In a lot of cases, as you drive into your driveway,
they deposit right on the driveway or into the apron.
You don't even know it a herd. And as it
(02:02):
melts the snow or even just puddles on that concrete driveway,
it's very corrosive and you start getting pits and you
start compromising that concrete.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It happens.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
If you seal it, you really minimize that whole process.
And if it's been a while, i'd say a concrete driveway,
if you're just sealing it for protection, I would say
what you're doing is is probably doing it maybe every
(02:37):
three to five years, and stay ahead of it. You
put it on and you can't even see it. You
put it on with a tank sprayer, easy as heck
to use. And again, make sure it's breathable. That's the key.
(02:58):
And again if you want to if if you ask
somebody in the hardware story, they may or may not
know what a breathable sealer is, you have to read
the label, or you can go to a website. I've
mentioned this one and have used their products. They seem
to do a good enough job. It's Masonrydefender dot com
(03:19):
and use their driveway and sidewalk sialer. That's a good
breathable slock, sane bathed sealer. All right, So I wanted
to pass that along to you. That's a good timely project.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Again.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
You can join us at the numbers eight hundred eight
two three eight two five were everyboy call one time
and Danny's only got two ears and two hands, but
he'll get your call if you'd like to call in.
All right, let's go to Candy Candy Welcome.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Hello, oh oh uh uh, I'm there.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Okay, go ahead, yeah, come on, can you hear me?
I can?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Okay? Good.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
So my front I look at other people's front door,
and at the bottom of their.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Front door they have like it looks like a little
tiny concrete slab.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
About say four or five inches, and it looks it
looks neat. But at my front door, under the champion door,
that's everything that they left, everything that was there before
they put it in in two thousand and five or
two thousand and six, and they added a tiny piece
of wood because there wasn't enough.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
So mine is very trashy looking. And I was wondering
about if I ripped out the stuff underneath it and
could somehow put a concrete I don't know what it's
called threshold. I have a concrete front.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, you got a concrete porch, and it doesn't have
a step up into.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Your house, right, it's just wood and there's a gap.
But it looks really bad and unpleasant.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Well, it sounds like to me, and I can't see it,
So it sounds to me like you had a porch
that was level with the floor on the inside of
the house, and when they put in the front door,
they wanted to elevate that threshold just to make sure
water isn't entering into it. So they put a board
underneath the threshold to right raise it slightly, and the
(05:34):
door functions well with that threshold. But it just doesn't
look good.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Is that? Is that a good way to describe it.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
The concrete is flat to maybe it goes down, I
don't know. But it has a thick piece of wood
that was pre existing, Like I bought the house two
thousand and four and it had this green wood thing there.
Then when they put the new door in, they put
in like a real skinny half inch piece of wood
(06:08):
fill the gap between their door and that ugly piece
of wood. And now there's a gap. There's been a
gap at the bottom of one where you know a
family of spiders or I know a cricket went in
there one.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Well, yeah, sure, if there's a gap, they're definitely going
to go in. There's no question about when did you
have this door installed?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Two thousand and five.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Oh, so you've had this issue for twenty years and it.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Looked ugly for twenty one years.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You probably should have called them after year one and said, hey,
I don't like the way this looks.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Yeah they did.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
It's a cheap way. They just scurdled piece of wood.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
I thought that ugly greenwood.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, well, I understand your problem. I can't see your problem.
What is the question?
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Is it possible for me to like rip out the wood,
the big green piece of wood, and maybe put in
something that looks like a concrete slab.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
How high would that concrete slab have to be?
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Three four inches?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I think that would be difficult. Concrete doesn't like to
stick to concrete.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
The only thing I could suggest is maybe you have
a mason come and look at it. Maybe even a handyman.
But if you do what you say you want to do,
and you're talking about something that's three inches deep, you're
going to have to add a bonding agent and somehow
it's going to have to be attached or attached to
(07:46):
a concrete substrate, which is going to be very difficult
to do because concrete doesn't like to stick to concrete.
You put a bonding agent in it, it may help it,
but it's two separate poor so you're still going to
have a natural seam. I don't know how well that
(08:07):
would hold up, to be honest with you, and you're
gonna have to build a form, so you know, it's
something that sounds like it's something you're not going to
be able to do, you know. I mean, I even
I would probably take a look at consulting with a mason,
taking a look at that and see if that's even
going to be possible.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Well, thank you for.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Anthany know about a mason?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yep, I think that's where i'd start my process.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Great, thank you very much, you bet.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Take care bye bye. All right.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I think that's a bigger project than you're going to
tucker yourself. And again you just having a hard time
visualizing exactly how all that's going to look or what
it looks like now eight hundred eight two three eight

Speaker 2 (11:35):
All right, back at it we go.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Nineteen minutes after the top of the air, talk a
little home improvement at the bottom of the hour. Alex o'hinley.
He is my gutter and roofing expert. He'll be joining
us with his information about clogged gutters and gutter brush.
We talk about that particular product, an inexpensive way to
protect those gutters from clogging. That'll be at the bottom
(11:57):
of the hour. We've been on the fence about doing
something about your gutters. Take a listen. You might be
uh interested in a product like that, But if nothing
else comes out of that conversation, the one thing I
want you to take away is before the first of December,
clean out your gutters.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
All right, let's go to Laurie. Laurie, welcome, Hi, How
are you doing doing fine? Thank you? Laurie just keeps
hanging out.
Speaker 10 (12:28):
We've lost your call again.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what the story is.
Maybe you're I don't know.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
One, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I don't mean know what she was calling about, or
I would have answered it. Yeah, yeah, sure. One of
the things we've been talking about different things to start
doing to prepare for UH fall and of course one
of the things, and had this question multiple times this
particular week.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
There's so many things as we transition to weather. But
one of the things I want you to keep in
mind because we always get a lot of calls on mice.
That first night when it gets below thirty degrees, everybody's
up mice and how do you stop that? Well, I'm
telling you the best way to stop it, seriously is
to look around doors, garage doors included, and look for gaps.
(13:23):
And it doesn't take anything bigger than a nickel for
mice to begin to invade your house, and they're looking
for a warm place to stay and a little food
and water.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So if you can stop that invasion just by looking
for openings, you'll be way ahead of the game.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
All right, let's go to Becky.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Becky Welcome, Yes, Hi, Hello, Hi.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Can you hear me, I can, Okay, I have a question.
Speaker 11 (13:53):
I have a new white oaks on a bench. It
was restored in May and I was for outside, and
I stored out outside under a tree, and within two
months it got a lot of mold and mildew on it.
So my question, I've cleaned.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
It and it's it's lightened the mold somewhat. I want
I want to get it back to its original luster,
and I want to know what to clean it with
and how to seal it again.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Okay, So tell me what you sealed it with and
how long that sealing worked.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
The craftsman that made it the bench put Olympic water
a clear water guard would sealer on it. And then
after it started to show a lot of mold and discoloration,
I cleaned it with Scott's Outdoor cleaner and it says
(14:51):
for moss, mold and algae for wood. I didn't spray
it with a high pressure sprayer. I sprayed it on
there with a just spray and then use the light
rush to rush it and put several applications on it
and it lightened it some. But I'm still showing muddled
(15:12):
in the wood.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Drain okay, and how long did that sealer last?
Speaker 7 (15:18):
Only a couple of monks?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, yeah, So I thinking I need to put it
in the future.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
When I get it back.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Well, it's outside and it's gonna you know, it's not
pressure treated, and you're under a tree, so it's gonna
get you know. That's the way mother nature works, right,
that's the way it breaks down wood, leaves, twigs, branches,
and your bench. Uh So what we want to do
is we want to clean it. I would clean it
with an oxygenated bleach and you can get that ato
(15:49):
hardware store. And oxygenate bleach is a powder that's mixed
with water, and you would spray that bench and you would,
let's set about ten minutes. Then you would reach bray
it and then you would take a scrub brush and
you would agitate that and then rinse. Okay, then after
(16:09):
you've done that and one application should be enough, you
could also an oxygeny A bleach can also be found
in you know, deck cleaners, so you might you know,
at the hardware store looking deck cleaners, talk to somebody there,
and that's the product I would use. I would then
allow that to dry probably for two days and then
(16:33):
you could you you could.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
The clear is what's killing you.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
A clear seiler, like a deck sealer like you were
talking about that Olympic that's got a lifespan literally of
a year. That sun breaks it down, and the more
if you can add pigment to it.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Or having an encapsule, and it's going to last you longer.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
So what's that mean, Well, that means you could get
a deck cleaner, uh or a deck sealer that maybe
is redwood color, ceedar color, brown color, and it'll give
you some protection against the sun, so it will give
you more than a year. It might give you two
to three years, maybe four years if it's very shaded,
(17:17):
and you could protect that deck and then you really
don't ever have to worry about stripping it again. You
would just clean it and reseal it in three years
or so. That's option one. Option two go ahead and
clean it like we just spoke of with the oxygenated
cleaner and letting it dry for a couple of a
(17:40):
couple of days, and then you could use what they
call a spar euthane. A spar euthane is resistant to
the sun rays, the UV rays that break down ceilants
and you could probably get four, five six years out
of that. The problem is to reseal that. You will
(18:02):
have to sand that down and use the spar your
thing to reseal, so you know the one doesn't last
as long. But then when you have to reapply the
deck sealer, you don't have to sand things down. You
just literally clean it and reapply the encapsulant, which is
(18:23):
the spa your thing, not poly your thinge spa your thing,
or even a marine your thing. It's going to last longer,
but when it's time to refurbish it, you're going to
have more work. Okay, so those are your choices.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I think I get a picture and I'm pretty committed
to keeping this bench nice, so I can move it
to a screened in porch or something a little bit covered.
I'm not going to leave it under that snymore.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah that'll make a big difference, it really will.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
Really want to know how to get it back looking
nice again. It's only been two months and the gentleman
told me it should last year.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
But well, again, a like a deck cleaner or an
oxygenated bleach. And then if you really need to get
really wild and crazy, you can use what they call
a deck brightener, which is a wood bleach, which you'll
bring it back to its natural color too, so you know,
if you get rid of all the staining, you can
still bleach it out.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
All right. We'll talk guttering next. At Home with Gary Sullivan.

(22:13):
at home with Gary Sullivan. As you look outside, of course,
it depends where you are in the country. In our area,
leaves are starting to fall. But it's not it's not
autumn where the leaves are falling because they change colors.
It's because it was so wet and now it's so dry,
and in about four or five six weeks it'll be
(22:34):
because it's autumn and the leaves will fall. I don't
care what's causing leaves to fall. The problem is is
if they're falling and getting clogged in your gutters or
laying in your gutters and clogging the gutters. And that's
why we have our friend Alex are handling in. He
is with gutter brush and Alex how in the world
are you.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
I'm doing great, Gary. Thank you very much for having
gutter Brush on the show again again. Yeah, many years
and thanks to your listeners. It's a great show.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Sure, thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Let's talk a little bit and I have already done
so today. But repeating does not hurt a thing. What
is the deal with gutters? Give everybody you know, gutters
catch water and move water. They also catch leaves, which
then won't move water.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
And what happens then, well, it's just common understanding that
we want to get the water away from the house
and not splash all over the place, not wash out
the landscaping. You don't want to constantly wet your windows
and your trim and all these things on the house
(23:44):
that are incredibly expensive to repair. So what we do
is we always talk about keeping our gutters clean and
flowing so that everything's running properly and the house lasts
longer and you just save money.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yep, Because boy, even leaky bays a lot of times
attributed just because of standing water around the house. And
if you can collect it and move it away. I
saw something the other day, he cracked me up. It
was a down spout. It had an elbow on it
and about three inches in front of that there was
a pipe that went underground, but it was never connected.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Not helping you out too much.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
You see all things out there. But the point is
people are busy. You know these days, people are running
around faster than ever before. They come home and they
see water splashing all over the place and it's upsetting. Yeah,
So you know, it's nice to be able to offer
an easy solution that people can handle.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah. And one thing, and you're probably seeing this too, Alex.
I know you've been in the roofing industry your entire life, but.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
With the I don't know. It seems like.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
In our area for sure, when we have rainfall, it's
copious amounts compared what I'm really used to. And I've
been around a while, and gutters are sometimes not catching
all the water, and then if you have problems with
leaves or clogs, the problem actually becomes bigger.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Oh yeah, well you know that what's that phrase, nip
it in the bud right, getting to things early. You know,
you've got to get the water to flow away from
your home. You've got to keep it out of your basement,
you've got to keep your gut drainage and gutters flowing.
You know, it's just home eck one oh one. And
(25:33):
cleaning gutters and performing maintenance is an absolute must. And
that's why gutter brush is great is because regular people
or anyone who can clean a gutter can simply after
they clean the gutter, they simply slide three foot lengths
of our long lasting brushes into the gutter. It's fill
the whole gutter. It keeps it from clogging and keeps
(25:55):
things flowing.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
So the leaves in the pine needles and all that,
what keeps them out of the gutter. You say it's
a brush, is do they get tangled in the brush?
Does the wind blow them off? Or what happens here?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
So gutter brush is like a chimney brush or a
bottle brush. There are three foot long infections of brush
that are designed to fit the gutter. They're engineered to
fit the gutter. You slide them into the gutter and
the brush fills the gutter, so it's a protected flow channel.
Most of the debris blows over the top. Of course,
(26:31):
some debris will get stuck in the bristles, but the
gutter cannot clog when it's filled with this full length
gutter strainer. It literally cannot clog and it's an easy,
easy way to decrease gutter work and stop gutter clogging.
Also keep debris out of the down spouts and out
(26:51):
of the ground drainage too, which is so critical.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Well, you bring up a good point too, because we're
always focusing up the gutter the down spout outlet up there,
but you're right, if that debris starts going down in underground,
there's a possibility that gets clogged.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Also.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Oh, it's it's a nightmare when the in ground storm
grains down underneath your you know, your grass get clogged,
because that'll back up all the way to the gutter
and then pour over. People think the gutter's clogged, but
any clog along the way is going to cause the
water to pour over. And anyway, we offer incredibly simple
(27:33):
solution just to slide the correct size of gutter brush.
Most people have five inch common gutters, but to fill
the whole gutter with gutter brush. It keeps the debris
out of those storm drains, keeps the gutter from clogging,

Speaker 1 (28:10):
So let's let's I'll give you a chance to kind
of talk about your particular product, the gutter brush, because
as you open up home improvement magazines, there's different canopies
that are covering gutters that they'll come out and measure,
they'll install.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
They're pricey.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I know some homes it'll be three four thousand dollars
to have those installed. And if you walk through your
big box store, your hardware store, you'll find all kinds
of screens and different apparatuses and inexpensive. And then you've
got this gutter brush. And what is the difference between
(28:51):
all these I mean that they all have the intended
purpose of keeping gutters from clogging.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Yes, And what I learned after twenty five years of
cleaning gutters is the gutter guard space is a tough space.
You've got these expensive, new fangled devices trying to keep
every respective debris out of the gutter, and they get
dirty and people get very disappointed when they send the
(29:20):
water past the edge of the gutter, and they're fastened,
and they're difficult to maintain. So what gutta brush is
something that people can get their hands in their head around.
It's self fitting and anyone can slide it into the gutter.
It's low impact. And for example, my house only has
seventy five feet of gutter. With the Gary two five discount,
(29:43):
i'd pay two thirty three two hundred and thirty three
dollars and twenty five cents, So instead of thousands of dollars,
people are able to solve their own problems and fill
their own gutter for far left. And it's a low
impact solution. Nothing's fastened somewhere down line. It's easy to
maintain our customers and they last a long time too.
(30:05):
But our customers pull them out, bang them on a
hard surface, cleaned the gutter at some point down the line,
and then put them back in right, and they have
a system that they could use for many, many years
because it has a ten year material warranty. But it
lasts much longer.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Than I agree with that. I agree with that. Yeah,
And well, I'll tell you what. When I first came
upon gutter brush many years ago, probably fifteen years. I
had tried other ones, other things out there, like a almost
look like old metal laughing made of aluminum. I'd tried
screens and the screen always got clogged. I mean I
(30:43):
never really found anything that worked. Now, somebody listening right
now has probably got some screens and said, Garieat you're crazy.
I've got screens and it worked.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Well. Good, I'm glad it did.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Uh. But there is a lot of different varieties. I've
had my most luck and I was apprehensive too at first.
And you know, people that hear me talk about it
all the time. I had a call her last week
from California say, have you ever heard of gutter brush?
I said, well, actually I have. I think it's extremely functional.
Anybody can put them in if you can climb a ladder,
(31:18):
if you can't get somebody that can't climb a ladder,
no cutting, no working. They simply slide in. So they're
easy to use, and they're inexpensive. So I don't And
you bring up a good point too, Alex, and that
is if you got an area where you got a
lot of pine trees or maple seeds, you know, maybe
(31:38):
every third year you might have to pull them out
and shake them off. But nothing's perfect, and it does
a really good job. I have them on my home.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
And you've said it yourself that you do have to
put up with some visible debris because the gut brush
is filling the gutter. So of course you're going to
see some debris, but the gutter doesn't clog. And Uh, anyway,

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yeah, one little caveat as we start heading to cooler temperatures.
It's certainly not in winter yet. But it was a
non intended consequence and it was a good thing that
in the winter time, since this gutter brush is black,
it has minimized ice dams in homes.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Yeah, stops clogging from snow too. People don't realize snow
starts the ice problem and it won't clog from snow

All right, back at it we go at home with
Gary Sulvan.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Danny said that was really good. Gary. You asked the
question and you answered it. Yes, I did.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
I mean, that's a great deal on that gutter brush,
and we'll be talking about it throughout the fall season.
But I wanted to get a head start on it,
especially since in my area of the country it was
really wet and they got really dry and the leaves
are falling. But it's not because of fall. They're dried out,
they're stressed out.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
All right, let's get to Tim.
Speaker 10 (36:36):
Tim welcome, Yeah, Gary, thanks for taking my call. I
got a question. A friend of mine wants to go
from a regular electric hot water heater to a tankless
hot water heater, and she runs a little Airbnb, and
I think she's doing it mainly in this little, her
little room. She wants to repurpose it. But I guess
(36:59):
just just pros and cons. I mean, you know, I
don't know a place you can. I mean to buy those.
She was looking something like on Amazon for a few
hundred bucks, but I told her, I don't know that
that would be the route to go.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
But well, I guess where you're going to start with
that is how much water? Because they're different. They're heating
water on demand, right, and it can only heat so much.
And for natural gas tankless water heaters, I really like them.
(37:32):
They continue to make them better and better and better.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
And they're now up to like nine gallons.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Per hour, not a problem, okay, but electrics not quite there.
It's electric, so can't heat it as fast. So they're
you know, depending on how much you say, it's a
little B and B, so I don't know, it's probably
not going to give you more than two to three gallons.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
I said per hour, permit it, per hour, per hour
minute admit it. Yeah, I was gonna say, that's really.
Speaker 10 (38:10):
Sent She sent me a link to one on Amazon
Gary that said like three point three eight gallons per minute.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Yeah yeah, And I guess if you're just you know,
if it's a real small just kind of like a
bedroom in a bathroom or something, your shower is going
to be like what one and a half.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Gallons permit it? So that's fine.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah, Now if you're in a home, because I usually
discourage electric tankless water heaters.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
But your situation a little bit.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
So if you've got a shower, and you know, you're
probably not worrying about a dishwasher and a washing machine
and kids upstairs showering.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
I mean, you know, maybe that's all you have. Maybe
that's all you need. Yeah, then I would say it'd
probably be okay.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Now you got to have a circuit for that, so
you got to find out what the amp it's going
to be to run that particular tankless water heater and
the place to install it.
Speaker 10 (39:08):
Yeah, you know what. See she's got an electric hot
water heater now and it's it's running off of a
thirty amp breaker And I told her that you could
probably because I think this one says like like it
requires sixty amp.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Yeah, six you don't want.
Speaker 10 (39:25):
To just go go throw a sixty ant break or
you know on on a you know, a number ten
wire or whatever it is for the thirty anp But
but it's all in, it's all in the same room.
I'm in her electric panel. And where this little hot
water heater will go if she goes this route is okay,
you know, it's only four or five foot apart. But
(39:46):
then you know, she thought and this is this is
one of her questions and I couldn't find it nowhere.
She has an issue with line scale even though she
has steady water, right, And uh, they say that that
you know, in a lot of times you want to
run some kind of either filter or even a softener
(40:08):
because of the you know, these tanks with hot water heaters,
I guess they're they're not as tolerant to well build
up as maybe a regular hot water heat.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I'm like, yeah, yeah, it's not so much as tolerant.
It's just that you're heating the water faster, so you
get more carc calcium carbonate, so you're gonna get more scale.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
So that was that's always the thing.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
So you know, reading on, you know you're probably gonna
have to clean it. It'll either say every six months
or every year. Some of them have to have factory
train plumbers, not so much as it used to be.
Others will have a actual cleaning kit. So if you
see one you like, you might just on that same
(40:55):
web site or whatever is you know, that same model
number cleaning kit for hard water for that particular model.
They may they may have one because that is something
that they're predisposed to. Just whether it's gas or electric again,
probably more electric uh issues, but yeah, cleaning it's gonna
(41:16):
definitely or maintenance uncleaning is definitely uh uh gonna come into.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Play for sure.
Speaker 10 (41:23):
Okay, Okay, so yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
You know, and you're gonna need sixty MPs and it
sounds like it's positioned in a perfect place to be
able to do that as long as you have enough service.
Speaker 10 (41:35):
Yeah, you know, I'll tell you. You know, her her building
is kind of unique.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (41:39):
She used to do she used to be a beautician.
And at her other house, they they've bought actually what
she lives in is a shed kit from Home Depot
m H that has been that has been turned into
I mean it's like a two story shed kit that's
that's on a slab that's got city water. And I mean,
you know, she's lived there for twos or years. She
(42:00):
lived there by herself, and then she lives down by
Honda and they have a lot of people that come.
That's where how she started her airbnb thing. You know,
I mean she's just you know, an extra person, you know,
like I said, so there's not a big demand, right.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Right, Yeah, it does it sounds yeah, yeah, as well
as it's not a house and a you know, a
house full of kids with an electric tankless that ain't
gonna work. But her situation, I would say it will work.
You're just going to have to you know, configure it
to make sure you got the infrastructure for it.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (42:34):
No, where where is the where's a good place to
buy a tankless hot water heater? I mean, is there
other places other than that?
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Yeah? I would go to maybe even like a plumbing
supply place Ferguson, you know, different places like that, and
you know, and you know, I don't know if she's
gonna have somebody install that or you're going to install it,
but that would be a good place to see what's
available on.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
What they have.
Speaker 10 (43:00):
Well, I know, I called a couple of places at
frim line and they won't sell to you unless your
license plumber.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Yeah, yeah, well so that might be something want to do.
Speaker 10 (43:14):
Well, you know, you never you never know.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I always get scared when you know,
people are like, well, I'll just you know, I'll just
get it off Amazon, and you know, maybe we haven't
installed one of those before know much about it.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
Just got to be careful.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
And I'm sure that's what the plumbing supply places are
saying too. Their business is to uh, you know, certified plumber.
Some of them requires certified service. I know. Uh that
was a big thing back in the day. It's kind
of slowing down a little bit, but something that's considered,
that's for sure, all right, if you'd like to join
us too.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
So it's eight hundred.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Eight two three eight two five five.

one eight hundred eighty two three talk.
Speaker 8 (44:36):
This is at Home with Gary Sullivan.
All right, two weekends upon us and welcome. You're at
home with Gary Salvan. By the way, this hour's brought
to you by gutter Brush Claw gutters.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I've been preaching this for a long time. That causes
home damage, sometimes major damage. And what gutter brush does
is it stops leaves and debris installs in minutes, last
over fifteen years. I can attest to that. And right
now you can save twenty five percent. Use the code
Gary in this it. Oh it's Gary twenty five. Sorry,
(01:02):
Gary twenty five. Visit gutter brush dot com. Gutterbrush dot com.
Gary twenty five. Not a bad deal. If you've been
putting off that, I gotta do something about that.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Got do it?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, do it. No tools needed, just slide them in.
It's that easy, all right. Our phone number if you'd
like to join us is eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five. And of course, talking about your
home projects, we've talked about sealing concrete, and boy, if
you're talking about timely projects, sealing concrete is certainly one
(01:35):
of them.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
If it's been a while.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
And especially especially if you live in a northern climate
where there's maybe you don't use ice melling agents. But
if you drive, you're picking it up off the street.
In a lot of cases, as you drive into your driveway,
they deposit right on the driveway or into the apron.
You don't even know it a herd. And as it
(02:02):
melts the snow or even just puddles on that concrete driveway,
it's very corrosive and you start getting pits and you
start compromising that concrete.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It happens.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
If you seal it, you really minimize that whole process.
And if it's been a while, i'd say a concrete driveway,
if you're just sealing it for protection, I would say
what you're doing is is probably doing it maybe every
(02:37):
three to five years, and stay ahead of it. You
put it on and you can't even see it. You
put it on with a tank sprayer, easy as heck
to use. And again, make sure it's breathable. That's the key.
(02:58):
And again if you want to if if you ask
somebody in the hardware story, they may or may not
know what a breathable sealer is, you have to read
the label, or you can go to a website. I've
mentioned this one and have used their products. They seem
to do a good enough job. It's Masonrydefender dot com
(03:19):
and use their driveway and sidewalk sialer. That's a good
breathable slock, sane bathed sealer. All right, So I wanted
to pass that along to you. That's a good timely project.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Again.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
You can join us at the numbers eight hundred eight
two three eight two five were everyboy call one time
and Danny's only got two ears and two hands, but
he'll get your call if you'd like to call in.
All right, let's go to Candy Candy Welcome.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Hello, oh oh uh uh, I'm there.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Okay, go ahead, yeah, come on, can you hear me?
I can?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Okay? Good.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
So my front I look at other people's front door,
and at the bottom of their.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Front door they have like it looks like a little
tiny concrete slab.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
About say four or five inches, and it looks it
looks neat. But at my front door, under the champion door,
that's everything that they left, everything that was there before
they put it in in two thousand and five or
two thousand and six, and they added a tiny piece
of wood because there wasn't enough.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
So mine is very trashy looking. And I was wondering
about if I ripped out the stuff underneath it and
could somehow put a concrete I don't know what it's
called threshold. I have a concrete front.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, you got a concrete porch, and it doesn't have
a step up into.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Your house, right, it's just wood and there's a gap.
But it looks really bad and unpleasant.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Well, it sounds like to me, and I can't see it,
So it sounds to me like you had a porch
that was level with the floor on the inside of
the house, and when they put in the front door,
they wanted to elevate that threshold just to make sure
water isn't entering into it. So they put a board
underneath the threshold to right raise it slightly, and the
(05:34):
door functions well with that threshold. But it just doesn't
look good.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Is that? Is that a good way to describe it.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
The concrete is flat to maybe it goes down, I
don't know. But it has a thick piece of wood
that was pre existing, Like I bought the house two
thousand and four and it had this green wood thing there.
Then when they put the new door in, they put
in like a real skinny half inch piece of wood
(06:08):
fill the gap between their door and that ugly piece
of wood. And now there's a gap. There's been a
gap at the bottom of one where you know a
family of spiders or I know a cricket went in
there one.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Well, yeah, sure, if there's a gap, they're definitely going
to go in. There's no question about when did you
have this door installed?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Two thousand and five.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Oh, so you've had this issue for twenty years and it.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Looked ugly for twenty one years.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You probably should have called them after year one and said, hey,
I don't like the way this looks.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Yeah they did.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
It's a cheap way. They just scurdled piece of wood.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
I thought that ugly greenwood.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, well, I understand your problem. I can't see your problem.
What is the question?
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Is it possible for me to like rip out the wood,
the big green piece of wood, and maybe put in
something that looks like a concrete slab.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
How high would that concrete slab have to be?
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Three four inches?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I think that would be difficult. Concrete doesn't like to
stick to concrete.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
The only thing I could suggest is maybe you have
a mason come and look at it. Maybe even a handyman.
But if you do what you say you want to do,
and you're talking about something that's three inches deep, you're
going to have to add a bonding agent and somehow
it's going to have to be attached or attached to
(07:46):
a concrete substrate, which is going to be very difficult
to do because concrete doesn't like to stick to concrete.
You put a bonding agent in it, it may help it,
but it's two separate poor so you're still going to
have a natural seam. I don't know how well that
(08:07):
would hold up, to be honest with you, and you're
gonna have to build a form, so you know, it's
something that sounds like it's something you're not going to
be able to do, you know. I mean, I even
I would probably take a look at consulting with a mason,
taking a look at that and see if that's even
going to be possible.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Well, thank you for.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Anthany know about a mason?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yep, I think that's where i'd start my process.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Great, thank you very much, you bet.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Take care bye bye. All right.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I think that's a bigger project than you're going to
tucker yourself. And again you just having a hard time

else comes out of that conversation, the one thing I
want you to take away is before the first of December,
clean out your gutters.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
All right, let's go to Laurie. Laurie, welcome, Hi, How
are you doing doing fine? Thank you? Laurie just keeps
hanging out.
Speaker 10 (12:28):
We've lost your call again.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what the story is.
Maybe you're I don't know.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
One, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I don't mean know what she was calling about, or
I would have answered it. Yeah, yeah, sure. One of
the things we've been talking about different things to start
doing to prepare for UH fall and of course one
of the things, and had this question multiple times this
particular week.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
There's so many things as we transition to weather. But
one of the things I want you to keep in
mind because we always get a lot of calls on mice.
That first night when it gets below thirty degrees, everybody's
up mice and how do you stop that? Well, I'm
telling you the best way to stop it, seriously is
to look around doors, garage doors included, and look for gaps.
(13:23):
And it doesn't take anything bigger than a nickel for
mice to begin to invade your house, and they're looking
for a warm place to stay and a little food
and water.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So if you can stop that invasion just by looking
for openings, you'll be way ahead of the game.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
All right, let's go to Becky.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Becky Welcome, Yes, Hi, Hello, Hi.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Can you hear me, I can, Okay, I have a question.
Speaker 11 (13:53):
I have a new white oaks on a bench. It
was restored in May and I was for outside, and
I stored out outside under a tree, and within two
months it got a lot of mold and mildew on it.
So my question, I've cleaned.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
It and it's it's lightened the mold somewhat. I want
I want to get it back to its original luster,
and I want to know what to clean it with
and how to seal it again.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Okay, So tell me what you sealed it with and
how long that sealing worked.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
The craftsman that made it the bench put Olympic water
a clear water guard would sealer on it. And then
after it started to show a lot of mold and discoloration,
I cleaned it with Scott's Outdoor cleaner and it says
(14:51):
for moss, mold and algae for wood. I didn't spray
it with a high pressure sprayer. I sprayed it on
there with a just spray and then use the light
rush to rush it and put several applications on it
and it lightened it some. But I'm still showing muddled
(15:12):
in the wood.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Drain okay, and how long did that sealer last?
Speaker 7 (15:18):
Only a couple of monks?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, yeah, So I thinking I need to put it
in the future.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
When I get it back.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Well, it's outside and it's gonna you know, it's not
pressure treated, and you're under a tree, so it's gonna
get you know. That's the way mother nature works, right,
that's the way it breaks down wood, leaves, twigs, branches,
and your bench. Uh So what we want to do
is we want to clean it. I would clean it
with an oxygenated bleach and you can get that ato
(15:49):
hardware store. And oxygenate bleach is a powder that's mixed
with water, and you would spray that bench and you would,
let's set about ten minutes. Then you would reach bray
it and then you would take a scrub brush and
you would agitate that and then rinse. Okay, then after
(16:09):
you've done that and one application should be enough, you
could also an oxygeny A bleach can also be found
in you know, deck cleaners, so you might you know,
at the hardware store looking deck cleaners, talk to somebody there,
and that's the product I would use. I would then
allow that to dry probably for two days and then
(16:33):
you could you you could.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
The clear is what's killing you.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
A clear seiler, like a deck sealer like you were
talking about that Olympic that's got a lifespan literally of
a year. That sun breaks it down, and the more
if you can add pigment to it.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Or having an encapsule, and it's going to last you longer.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
So what's that mean, Well, that means you could get
a deck cleaner, uh or a deck sealer that maybe
is redwood color, ceedar color, brown color, and it'll give
you some protection against the sun, so it will give
you more than a year. It might give you two
to three years, maybe four years if it's very shaded,
(17:17):
and you could protect that deck and then you really
don't ever have to worry about stripping it again. You
would just clean it and reseal it in three years
or so. That's option one. Option two go ahead and
clean it like we just spoke of with the oxygenated
cleaner and letting it dry for a couple of a
(17:40):
couple of days, and then you could use what they
call a spar euthane. A spar euthane is resistant to
the sun rays, the UV rays that break down ceilants
and you could probably get four, five six years out
of that. The problem is to reseal that. You will
(18:02):
have to sand that down and use the spar your
thing to reseal, so you know the one doesn't last
as long. But then when you have to reapply the
deck sealer, you don't have to sand things down. You
just literally clean it and reapply the encapsulant, which is
(18:23):
the spa your thing, not poly your thinge spa your thing,
or even a marine your thing. It's going to last longer,
but when it's time to refurbish it, you're going to
have more work. Okay, so those are your choices.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I think I get a picture and I'm pretty committed
to keeping this bench nice, so I can move it
to a screened in porch or something a little bit covered.
I'm not going to leave it under that snymore.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah that'll make a big difference, it really will.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
Really want to know how to get it back looking
nice again. It's only been two months and the gentleman
told me it should last year.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
But well, again, a like a deck cleaner or an
oxygenated bleach. And then if you really need to get
really wild and crazy, you can use what they call
a deck brightener, which is a wood bleach, which you'll
bring it back to its natural color too, so you know,
if you get rid of all the staining, you can
still bleach it out.

(22:13):
at home with Gary Sullivan. As you look outside, of course,
it depends where you are in the country. In our area,
leaves are starting to fall. But it's not it's not
autumn where the leaves are falling because they change colors.
It's because it was so wet and now it's so dry,
and in about four or five six weeks it'll be
(22:34):
because it's autumn and the leaves will fall. I don't
care what's causing leaves to fall. The problem is is
if they're falling and getting clogged in your gutters or
laying in your gutters and clogging the gutters. And that's
why we have our friend Alex are handling in. He
is with gutter brush and Alex how in the world
are you.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
I'm doing great, Gary. Thank you very much for having
gutter Brush on the show again again. Yeah, many years
and thanks to your listeners. It's a great show.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Sure, thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Let's talk a little bit and I have already done
so today. But repeating does not hurt a thing. What
is the deal with gutters? Give everybody you know, gutters
catch water and move water. They also catch leaves, which
then won't move water.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
And what happens then, well, it's just common understanding that
we want to get the water away from the house
and not splash all over the place, not wash out
the landscaping. You don't want to constantly wet your windows
and your trim and all these things on the house
(23:44):
that are incredibly expensive to repair. So what we do
is we always talk about keeping our gutters clean and
flowing so that everything's running properly and the house lasts
longer and you just save money.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yep, Because boy, even leaky bays a lot of times
attributed just because of standing water around the house. And
if you can collect it and move it away. I
saw something the other day, he cracked me up. It
was a down spout. It had an elbow on it
and about three inches in front of that there was
a pipe that went underground, but it was never connected.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Not helping you out too much.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
You see all things out there. But the point is
people are busy. You know these days, people are running
around faster than ever before. They come home and they
see water splashing all over the place and it's upsetting. Yeah,
So you know, it's nice to be able to offer
an easy solution that people can handle.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah. And one thing, and you're probably seeing this too, Alex.
I know you've been in the roofing industry your entire life, but.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
With the I don't know. It seems like.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
In our area for sure, when we have rainfall, it's
copious amounts compared what I'm really used to. And I've
been around a while, and gutters are sometimes not catching
all the water, and then if you have problems with
leaves or clogs, the problem actually becomes bigger.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Oh yeah, well you know that what's that phrase, nip
it in the bud right, getting to things early. You know,
you've got to get the water to flow away from
your home. You've got to keep it out of your basement,
you've got to keep your gut drainage and gutters flowing.
You know, it's just home eck one oh one. And
(25:33):
cleaning gutters and performing maintenance is an absolute must. And
that's why gutter brush is great is because regular people
or anyone who can clean a gutter can simply after
they clean the gutter, they simply slide three foot lengths
of our long lasting brushes into the gutter. It's fill
the whole gutter. It keeps it from clogging and keeps
(25:55):
things flowing.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
So the leaves in the pine needles and all that,
what keeps them out of the gutter. You say it's
a brush, is do they get tangled in the brush?
Does the wind blow them off? Or what happens here?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
So gutter brush is like a chimney brush or a
bottle brush. There are three foot long infections of brush
that are designed to fit the gutter. They're engineered to
fit the gutter. You slide them into the gutter and
the brush fills the gutter, so it's a protected flow channel.
Most of the debris blows over the top. Of course,
(26:31):
some debris will get stuck in the bristles, but the
gutter cannot clog when it's filled with this full length
gutter strainer. It literally cannot clog and it's an easy,
easy way to decrease gutter work and stop gutter clogging.
Also keep debris out of the down spouts and out
(26:51):
of the ground drainage too, which is so critical.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Well, you bring up a good point too, because we're
always focusing up the gutter the down spout outlet up there,
but you're right, if that debris starts going down in underground,
there's a possibility that gets clogged.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Also.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Oh, it's it's a nightmare when the in ground storm
grains down underneath your you know, your grass get clogged,
because that'll back up all the way to the gutter
and then pour over. People think the gutter's clogged, but
any clog along the way is going to cause the
water to pour over. And anyway, we offer incredibly simple
(27:33):
solution just to slide the correct size of gutter brush.
Most people have five inch common gutters, but to fill
the whole gutter with gutter brush. It keeps the debris
out of those storm drains, keeps the gutter from clogging,

Speaker 1 (28:10):
So let's let's I'll give you a chance to kind
of talk about your particular product, the gutter brush, because
as you open up home improvement magazines, there's different canopies
that are covering gutters that they'll come out and measure,
they'll install.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
They're pricey.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I know some homes it'll be three four thousand dollars
to have those installed. And if you walk through your
big box store, your hardware store, you'll find all kinds
of screens and different apparatuses and inexpensive. And then you've
got this gutter brush. And what is the difference between
(28:51):
all these I mean that they all have the intended
purpose of keeping gutters from clogging.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Yes, And what I learned after twenty five years of
cleaning gutters is the gutter guard space is a tough space.
You've got these expensive, new fangled devices trying to keep
every respective debris out of the gutter, and they get
dirty and people get very disappointed when they send the
(29:20):
water past the edge of the gutter, and they're fastened,
and they're difficult to maintain. So what gutta brush is
something that people can get their hands in their head around.
It's self fitting and anyone can slide it into the gutter.
It's low impact. And for example, my house only has
seventy five feet of gutter. With the Gary two five discount,
(29:43):
i'd pay two thirty three two hundred and thirty three
dollars and twenty five cents, So instead of thousands of dollars,
people are able to solve their own problems and fill
their own gutter for far left. And it's a low
impact solution. Nothing's fastened somewhere down line. It's easy to
maintain our customers and they last a long time too.
(30:05):
But our customers pull them out, bang them on a
hard surface, cleaned the gutter at some point down the line,
and then put them back in right, and they have
a system that they could use for many, many years
because it has a ten year material warranty. But it
lasts much longer.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Than I agree with that. I agree with that. Yeah,
And well, I'll tell you what. When I first came
upon gutter brush many years ago, probably fifteen years. I
had tried other ones, other things out there, like a almost
look like old metal laughing made of aluminum. I'd tried
screens and the screen always got clogged. I mean I
(30:43):
never really found anything that worked. Now, somebody listening right
now has probably got some screens and said, Garieat you're crazy.
I've got screens and it worked.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Well. Good, I'm glad it did.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Uh. But there is a lot of different varieties. I've
had my most luck and I was apprehensive too at first.
And you know, people that hear me talk about it
all the time. I had a call her last week
from California say, have you ever heard of gutter brush?
I said, well, actually I have. I think it's extremely functional.
Anybody can put them in if you can climb a ladder,
(31:18):
if you can't get somebody that can't climb a ladder,
no cutting, no working. They simply slide in. So they're
easy to use, and they're inexpensive. So I don't And
you bring up a good point too, Alex, and that
is if you got an area where you got a
lot of pine trees or maple seeds, you know, maybe
(31:38):
every third year you might have to pull them out
and shake them off. But nothing's perfect, and it does
a really good job. I have them on my home.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
And you've said it yourself that you do have to
put up with some visible debris because the gut brush
is filling the gutter. So of course you're going to
see some debris, but the gutter doesn't clog. And Uh, anyway,

It's certainly not in winter yet. But it was a
non intended consequence and it was a good thing that
in the winter time, since this gutter brush is black,
it has minimized ice dams in homes.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Yeah, stops clogging from snow too. People don't realize snow
starts the ice problem and it won't clog from snow

All right, back at it we go at home with
Gary Sulvan.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Danny said that was really good. Gary. You asked the
question and you answered it. Yes, I did.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
I mean, that's a great deal on that gutter brush,
and we'll be talking about it throughout the fall season.
But I wanted to get a head start on it,
especially since in my area of the country it was
really wet and they got really dry and the leaves
are falling. But it's not because of fall. They're dried out,
they're stressed out.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
All right, let's get to Tim.
Speaker 10 (36:36):
Tim welcome, Yeah, Gary, thanks for taking my call. I
got a question. A friend of mine wants to go
from a regular electric hot water heater to a tankless
hot water heater, and she runs a little Airbnb, and
I think she's doing it mainly in this little, her
little room. She wants to repurpose it. But I guess
(36:59):
just just pros and cons. I mean, you know, I
don't know a place you can. I mean to buy those.
She was looking something like on Amazon for a few
hundred bucks, but I told her, I don't know that
that would be the route to go.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
But well, I guess where you're going to start with
that is how much water? Because they're different. They're heating
water on demand, right, and it can only heat so much.
And for natural gas tankless water heaters, I really like them.
(37:32):
They continue to make them better and better and better.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
And they're now up to like nine gallons.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Per hour, not a problem, okay, but electrics not quite there.
It's electric, so can't heat it as fast. So they're
you know, depending on how much you say, it's a
little B and B, so I don't know, it's probably
not going to give you more than two to three gallons.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
I said per hour, permit it, per hour, per hour
minute admit it. Yeah, I was gonna say, that's really.
Speaker 10 (38:10):
Sent She sent me a link to one on Amazon
Gary that said like three point three eight gallons per minute.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Yeah yeah, And I guess if you're just you know,
if it's a real small just kind of like a
bedroom in a bathroom or something, your shower is going
to be like what one and a half.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Gallons permit it? So that's fine.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah, Now if you're in a home, because I usually
discourage electric tankless water heaters.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
But your situation a little bit.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
So if you've got a shower, and you know, you're
probably not worrying about a dishwasher and a washing machine
and kids upstairs showering.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
I mean, you know, maybe that's all you have. Maybe
that's all you need. Yeah, then I would say it'd
probably be okay.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Now you got to have a circuit for that, so
you got to find out what the amp it's going
to be to run that particular tankless water heater and
the place to install it.
Speaker 10 (39:08):
Yeah, you know what. See she's got an electric hot
water heater now and it's it's running off of a
thirty amp breaker And I told her that you could
probably because I think this one says like like it
requires sixty amp.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Yeah, six you don't want.
Speaker 10 (39:25):
To just go go throw a sixty ant break or
you know on on a you know, a number ten
wire or whatever it is for the thirty anp But
but it's all in, it's all in the same room.
I'm in her electric panel. And where this little hot
water heater will go if she goes this route is okay,
you know, it's only four or five foot apart. But
(39:46):
then you know, she thought and this is this is
one of her questions and I couldn't find it nowhere.
She has an issue with line scale even though she
has steady water, right, And uh, they say that that
you know, in a lot of times you want to
run some kind of either filter or even a softener
(40:08):
because of the you know, these tanks with hot water heaters,
I guess they're they're not as tolerant to well build
up as maybe a regular hot water heat.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I'm like, yeah, yeah, it's not so much as tolerant.
It's just that you're heating the water faster, so you
get more carc calcium carbonate, so you're gonna get more scale.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
So that was that's always the thing.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
So you know, reading on, you know you're probably gonna
have to clean it. It'll either say every six months
or every year. Some of them have to have factory
train plumbers, not so much as it used to be.
Others will have a actual cleaning kit. So if you
see one you like, you might just on that same
(40:55):
web site or whatever is you know, that same model
number cleaning kit for hard water for that particular model.
They may they may have one because that is something
that they're predisposed to. Just whether it's gas or electric again,
probably more electric uh issues, but yeah, cleaning it's gonna
(41:16):
definitely or maintenance uncleaning is definitely uh uh gonna come into.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Play for sure.
Speaker 10 (41:23):
Okay, Okay, so yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
You know, and you're gonna need sixty MPs and it
sounds like it's positioned in a perfect place to be
able to do that as long as you have enough service.
Speaker 10 (41:35):
Yeah, you know, I'll tell you. You know, her her building
is kind of unique.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (41:39):
She used to do she used to be a beautician.
And at her other house, they they've bought actually what
she lives in is a shed kit from Home Depot
m H that has been that has been turned into
I mean it's like a two story shed kit that's
that's on a slab that's got city water. And I mean,
you know, she's lived there for twos or years. She
(42:00):
lived there by herself, and then she lives down by
Honda and they have a lot of people that come.
That's where how she started her airbnb thing. You know,
I mean she's just you know, an extra person, you know,
like I said, so there's not a big demand, right.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Right, Yeah, it does it sounds yeah, yeah, as well
as it's not a house and a you know, a
house full of kids with an electric tankless that ain't
gonna work. But her situation, I would say it will work.
You're just going to have to you know, configure it
to make sure you got the infrastructure for it.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (42:34):
No, where where is the where's a good place to
buy a tankless hot water heater? I mean, is there
other places other than that?
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Yeah? I would go to maybe even like a plumbing
supply place Ferguson, you know, different places like that, and
you know, and you know, I don't know if she's
gonna have somebody install that or you're going to install it,
but that would be a good place to see what's
available on.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
What they have.
Speaker 10 (43:00):
Well, I know, I called a couple of places at
frim line and they won't sell to you unless your
license plumber.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Yeah, yeah, well so that might be something want to do.
Speaker 10 (43:14):
Well, you know, you never you never know.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I always get scared when you know,
people are like, well, I'll just you know, I'll just
get it off Amazon, and you know, maybe we haven't
installed one of those before know much about it.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
Just got to be careful.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
And I'm sure that's what the plumbing supply places are
saying too. Their business is to uh, you know, certified plumber.
Some of them requires certified service. I know. Uh that
was a big thing back in the day. It's kind
of slowing down a little bit, but something that's considered,
that's for sure, all right, if you'd like to join
us too.
