Mister Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Mister Wilson, how are you today?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Great? Did you survive that big front that came through
last night?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah? That was exciting.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
It's a quick and quick apt but man, did it
come down?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah? It poor little hale all works.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
You know what. We thought it was a little hailed
and we looked out and I couldn't really tell because
it was coming down, so hard.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
It was hell only lasted at our place for a
few minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, maybe two.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I mean, it was a bunch of it, and it
wasn't huge, but you're right, it was really coming down.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
We have the wider gutters and it was coming over
the top of the gutter.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
You know, that's a good subject today, Ron. I've been
looking at mine and really watching them over the last
four or five years, and they're five inch gutters and
they're not big enough. Got a steep roof and they're
just really not big enough. So now what, uh, probably
go to a six inch?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
How big do they come?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Well, I know they go up to six inch. I
don't know if they go beyond that. I'm sure they
do for commercial gutters, but I'm sure six inch should
take care of it. But when I had the house built,
you know, long twenty five years ago, we put in
five and that was a step up from the standard four.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So do people still use the four anymore?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's not too much. I was going to say, yeah,
it's almost all five inches.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
A small like on a shed or a small barn
or garage on one thing.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, yeah, but if you got a steep roof and
you get a rain, Like what was it? I think
at one time it was calibrated like four inches an hour,
and you know five inch gut are on a steep roof.
Forget about it.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Forget about it, like get about it. So I guess
there are limitations as far as whiter than that is
properly attaching them to the building.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, they got you know, it used to be the
old nails and farrels, but you know anymore they're really
brackets that support underneath the gutters and different things, which
is much better, especially for areas that are in you know,
winter conditions with snow and ice and snow dam or
ice dams. So you know, there's better support mechanisms than
(02:57):
used to be. And not all those farrels and nails
were ever really you know, driven into the trust. They
were just going through a one inch facia board, right,
and you know, your gutters are dipping and they're leaking behind,
and the facia board isn't painted behind the gutter, and
then the facia rots and then you got raccoons in
your attic. How about that?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Or squirrels or squirrels or whatever or whatever I wants
to come through that hole, that's.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Right, that's right, and they will make a hole and
no question about it.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I remember visiting in a state I think it was
the Fleischman estate here in Cincinnati, and they had the
copper Oh yeah, gutters and all that. I mean, of
course it's a huge estate. Copper gutters and down spouts. Wow. Yeah,
it was beautiful. And I looked at that. I just
kept thinking the craftsmanship to work to put those things
(03:45):
up there. For sure, Oh my gosh, for sure.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I mean in all soldered and stuff. Yes, jeez, they're
beautiful when they age. You get that greenish tin on there.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yes, beautiful.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, it is beautiful. I wouldn't want to pay that
bill anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
No, just saying we were curious to ask what the
Sullivans have their thermostats set on in the summertime. Well,
it's either saying seventy eight. Yeah again, well seventy is.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I think it's really all about the humidity though, run
I think I really do. Yesterday it got it didn't get.
We actually closed the windows intern the air on about
four o'clock till the storm went through as the first
time we turned it on, and it was because it
humidity was getting a little higher in the house and
(04:33):
again just a little uncomfortable, not bad. And we weren't
home all day and we just I said, I'm just
gonna knock this humidity out of here. And it was
fine within a couple hours. And we had said seventy six.
But when you get into the middle of the summer,
you know, when you got the uminity and the heat
and it was really beaten down on the house. Don't
have a lot of landscaping absorbing it or something, you know.
(04:55):
I mean, it can vary, but to answer your question,
usually about seventy five seventy. But it is truly all
about controlling the humidity. And used to tip a long
time ago that when you're heavier air conditioner on, don't
put the fan on on because as it's pulling the
moisture out of the air and the coils start getting wet.
(05:16):
If your fans on on so it's running all the time,
it's just blowing all that moisture back into the house.
So if you turn the fan on auto, it only
turns on when it's pulling the moisture. Aug it gives
a little time for those coils to dry a little
bit and it's really helped us control the humidity level
(05:36):
in the house, which has enabled us to move the
thermostat to a higher number.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
You know, it hasn't been hot in our area, but
as soon as we reach that upper seventies, maybe we
had eighty once, the humidity came along with it and
it felt like it was ninety five because you're not
used to you know, that humidity.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, well, here's something which is kind of interesting when
when you know, when you hit that day that gets
around eighty Okay, you set up er seventy, say eighty
eighty two degrees. If you open up your windows, that
eighty two degrees comes right into the house, right But
I feel a well insulayd house and well insulayed windows,
(06:12):
and you lead those windows down one it's eighty degrees.
It could be seventy two degrees inside the house. We
started noticing that when it was like seventy six outside,
but it was like seventy indoors that and everything was
shut off, and that thermostat never moved a degree. And
(06:33):
then if you open up all the windows at four
in the afternoon, all that he comes rushing. And so
what we've been doing is we've been opening the windows
in the morning and then around one o'clock we closed
the windows and in the evening we open them up again.
Because you got those good insulaated windows, you got insulation
in your house. It's really really helped control the electric bill.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Interesting. You know, Dan had mentioned earlier that you liked
it warmer because as you get older, folks like that.
Come on, now, don't get on him about.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
That, but you get control what you can and can't do.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It's the shawl always helps them.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Hey, I'll tell you what we had throws on the
back of all. There he goes. He cut me off,
So there you go. So what are we gonna talk
about today?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Well, I think we're going to talk a lot about
just kind of assessing the house. And really it's been
a weird spring hen and we've got a lot of rain.
I think it's kind of hard to get off the
schneid this year, you know, like I might off. Yeah,
you know, get going.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I guess we can. We just did.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
But I think we're going to do a checklist on
maintenance on the home and start prioritizing what needs to
be done next. And again, if you have contractors you're
thinking to do a project for you, you better get
out there, get that estimate, get that.
