Ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only, mister Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Mister Wilson, I'm going to assume you were not worth
overalls this week, even though you said you had ticks
on your body, yep. And even though it was probably
ninety five degrees yep. That's just a wild guess on
my part.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Uh. Actually I had on long pants, but I did
not have on the overalls or anything like that. Today
it's the shorts here in the studio so well as
it should be. Should be, man, I tell you what,
looking at that, I have to put the sunglasses on.
Looking at that red shirt, well it was the sun.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
It made it more red, okay, telling you what it
used to be pink?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, I don't know. Wow, it got a little hot out,
Yes it has. What has that done to our concrete
and our black top and our pain in our shingles?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
It probably uh you know, for the diehards that we're
going to get that project done no matter what. I
hope they read the directions on the products that talked
about limitations in temperature. You probably wasted a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Of product, could have a lot of evaporation going on.
Well you know. And you know what's funny is the
same way within the in the gardening business. I obviously
you can cause serious problems spraying with some of the
chemicals out there if you, if you know, need be
during the excessively you know, you get above eighty eighty
five degrees not a good thing. And what's interesting is
(02:21):
with and I think I told you this last year,
which is an interesting fact that you know on the
label of weed killers, like to go through your lawn
and spot treat for some weeds right now, which you
can do, but you don't want to do it when
it's extremely hot, and they'll tell you on the label.
But it's also better to do it when it's not
extremely hot, not because of the what of the toxicity
it could burn the plants or whatever, or your turf.
(02:42):
The fact that we don't want it to dry too
fast now is that because if it does, if it
dries too fast, it doesn't get absorbed into the weed
and have as good So I guess that would apply
to like doing some things that we're applying for home improvement.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Well, think about this, I talk about the wed and
forget to get black street off of roofs or mildew
off of you know, driveways and things like that. It's easy.
You spray it on, you never have to scrub it.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
In six weeks it's gone.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Well, I hate to tell you, but if that roof
is probably now about one hundred and twenty five degrees
and you spray that on there in the middle of
the day, and had you read the directions that it'll
talk about. You know, you can spray any time, but
if it's cloudy and you do it early in the morning,
that's perfect because it minimizes evaporation. And you know a
(03:32):
lot of us aren't going to read that. The same
thing's true. You just that product never gets a chance
to really get in there and work, So pay attention.
I mean, those instructions are there for a reason. It's
usually save you money.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So if if in case of like the wed and forget,
if I apply that in the morning when it's nice
and cool, but by the afternoon it's up to ninety
five degrees, I'm still good to go.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, it'll be absorbed by you know,
the fungus, et cetera. You know it, it's fine. But
if you spray on an' twenty degree roof with a
blazing sun on there, you think about how fast that
roof's gonna drive it rained, you know the same kind
of thing. So yeah, just read the directions, whether you're
(04:19):
painting or anything.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Guess what I did while you were vacationing, you did
the deck? I did. I know. I didn't got the
news flesh, I got a notification. I didn't stain it yet,
but I cleaned it, and I actually I cleaned it,
and I actually used one of those you buy, those
little square scrub brushes with a long handle. Yeah yeah,
oh yeah, oh yeah. I got that down and then
ron Ron was out there cleared off everything and scrubbed
(04:43):
that bad boy down. Did you get any points? No
from points? No? Did you do it on the hot
time of the day. It was pretty warm when I
was doing it. Nah, I like the sweat.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Did you did you? I mean, did you soak through
all your clothes? Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Absolutely? Pandema?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
And you were a little muddy And.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I wasn't muddy, but I was, Sonny.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Can you give me a big jug of water? You
didn't do any of that.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
No, I did not do that.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
That's we both laughed.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, I know, but I scrubbed. It's amazing. I scrubbed
that down, and it was how that would change colors?
Oh yeah, phenomenal. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
And so many people I see it, they do you know,
I always say it. You know you've heard me say it.
Preparation is the key to success.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
And just think about it. If you didn't remove that
or you just removed half of that dirt in that film,
how good you think that deck sealer would penetrate when
you get around to doing that.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Not so what was algae on there too? Yeah? I
mean because I hadn't used we forget this spring. It's
just I just let it go because I was going
to clean it. Yeah, and I mean the water was
even kind of green.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I'm just talks about this for about six years.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, Well I've cleaned it before. I just never took
it the next yeahs that next one, yeah, and that's
coming up. But then it's been so hot, Gary, I
have used that for an excuse to not go out
and stay the doors.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Well, and there's so many choices on deck sales. I'm
not talking just brands, but you know, do you want
you know, can you get a solvent based dex healer,
Can you get a modified oil and acrylic? Can you
get just in acrylic? What works best? Et cetera, et cetera.
And it really it depends on what There's nothing that's perfect,
(06:30):
otherwise we wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Always be Besides you besides, you all right, have fun
talking about home improvements. I will. I know you always do.
