Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back here in the garden with Ron Wilson. Just
a quick reminder, if you have insect or disease issues
on your plants that require a dormant spray, now's the
time to do that peachleaf curve. If you've had on
your peach trees, now's the time to spray that fund
aside to help get that under control during the dormant
time of the year. Now's time for the man the
met the letch, and he is the most listened to
(00:22):
home improven show hosts in the entire Solar system. His
website Garriysullivan Online dot com. Ladies and gentlemen, the one
the Only Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Good morning, mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Morning, mister Sullivan, sir.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
It's a warm, beige kind of day, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
A beige kind of day? I tell you what I
think it. When was the rainy day? Was that Tuesday
when I think they all were, Ron, I mean, they're
really all the time.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I'm really strung out or anything, but I think the
last three days were per.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Tuesday was probably the darkest, gloomiest rainy day that I
think I've ever experienced.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
There was a couple in there, man what is the deal?
I mean it was dark Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, I mean it was dark outside. It was like
it was five thirty in the evening six Was.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
It the inversion, the day of the inversion?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I don't know, but it was. I thought it was
kind of I have to ask run and see the
day of the inversion. I don't know, but it was
pretty dark.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
It was dark, no question, no question about that.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Well, Christmas l Christmas lights are going up like crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I have a whole list of safety tips.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Today I was wondering when it was gonna we're going
to get the Christmas light show.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I'm on top of it.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Are you? Well, you're always on top of it. Well,
you always.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I don't want anybody to be surprised that somebody's up
there cutting their Christmas cords.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Oh me, if you saw what I do once I'd
go outside. He would just shake your what you probably
will most people? What well the extension chords and the
plugs and all that.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Attention do you?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I do? And I say, but this is the only
way I know how to do it. So I want
to do it.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Throw them on the ground and let's go.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Hope they don't do it in the half hour. I'm
not doing it.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Light up the I don't put up lights like I
used to. You know, I don't get up on the
ladder anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I don't do ladders anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I don't either.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
In fact, I have a thing on ladder safety today too,
because you know, I know you're guilty of this, because
I think don't know that every guy is guilty of this.
Get the extension ladder out, leaning on the gutter, you
got anybody helping you? Note myself got two feet, you
got two arms. You should always work with like a
(02:40):
three point stance. Two feet, one arm, and you can
reach out a little bit.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, and it's about the time when they off the ladder,
the one arms way off the ladder.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
We're leaning. Nobody's out there and something bad. We have
a two point stance, sometimes one point stance.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
So are you are you like in total laughter when
you watch Christmas Vacation?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Oh yeah, Oh, I'm only laughing at myself sometimes.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Been there done that?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I've done that? Yeah, you know I've done that.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
You know what, I haven't worked though. I don't do
it anymore. But I used to do a lot of
stuff up, you know, up in the air when you
use an extension ladder. I have the one that has
the platform on it. Oh great, So you go up
four steps and then you stand there like an orchestra conductor. Guy,
Well that would be And it makes it so much easier.
You know, I can turn around and do stuff and
(03:37):
it's a wider base and it really does work. I
like using that ladder.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You got about a three, three or four step footstool
that has a big platform at the top with the
kind of a hoop where you can kind of hold on.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, lean up against it.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
So comfortable and so safe. I mean you're not going
to be fifteen feet up in the air with it
or anything. But man, that thing for just a you know,
eight ten decorations. Man, it's really it's really nice.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah. And then you know what, and seriously, if folks
look at that, I mean there are a hundred bucks
or something, but it's it's worth it. Yeah, they have
that thing, and you're right, I can get about ten
feet or so, maybe twelve. But yeah, it works for me,
and I think it's great, and I don't I feel comfortable.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Well that's the key. But you know, when I'm talking
about hanging off the ladder. I mean, who hasn't done that?
Of course, I think I was reading. I don't have
the article with me today, but I think that's the
number one accidents that emergency room see his latter accidents.
Really yeah, don't hold me of that. It's been a
few years ago since I read that, But it made sense.
(04:40):
Made sense.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Well, it must.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Accidents in emergency room ladders.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It must be pretty important. Because there's that PSA that
they run all the time. Oh, I missed it all
that thing's been running for ten years.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
They tell you not to do that.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, but I'm gonna go up and clean the ladder
and don't do that. I didn't hear the guy fall
and they talk about, you know, don't use ladder.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Tell you what, who doesn't know somebody that has fallen
off the ladder? Seriously?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yep, I mean including me. And then you get up
and look around and make sure nobody saw you fall,
and everything feels all right, and then you keep on going.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
And you know, we're always talking about slope around the foundation,
pulling water away from it, slope around the foundation. Where
are you going to put your ladder when you're doing
your decorations on your house? On the foundation. Make sure
that baby is solid. Make sure I think it's three
feet away from the wall to get the good angle.
(05:31):
And yeah, make sure somebody's out there with you and
just kind of either have somebody just steady the ladder
or get one of those devices that attaches at the
top of the ladder that's got two big arms that's
set on the roof.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I saw that on a commercial the other day. Guy
was doing that, and I saw that it was like
onto the shingles. Yeah, yeah, it kind of went around
the gutter and yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
It just makes sense. I'm not spending that fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But when you break your.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Leg, gosh, we've all been there. We've all cut. We've
all made shortcuts, no doubt. Some of us luckier than others,
no doubt. So we'll preach a little bit about that,
just being being careful. Well, let me being careful.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
What are your thoughts about, you know those things for
cleaning out your gutters that it is along like a
watering wand with a hook on the top and then
the pressure washer.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Have 't it?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
You know?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Okay, you know I think some of these things and
I'm not here to tear it down. It's it's probably
a little I'm not used one. Yeah, it seems like
my experience over the year is the easy out. You know,
the battery powered bethtub scrubber that was big. A lot
of these things that are created to make life easier
are just a big pain.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Gary.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
We have one, you have one, you love it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I don't use it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
It's kind of like it's.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I don't think it's been a little harder doing that.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
If you're going to clean your gutters, and you should,
I want to better raise their right hand. Now I
will clean my gutters before the first snow, please.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I was talking about the scrubber.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I know, I don't want another tangent, but if you're
going to clean the gutters, run, I mean, whatever suit
your boat. I think they brush big. You know, a
little tiny power watcher thing you're you're talking about. But
I'll tell you what a garden crown a pair of
gloves does really good for me.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
But then I have to get on the ladder, yeah,
otherwise to get help. I tried one of those. I
thought it, I got over and it was a mess
all over the place. I used it once and that
was it. It was done with it.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I do think some of these things. They come out
and you go, oh gosh, that's great. I won't have
to do that and then use it and like, well
that's terrible.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah. It cleans the gutters, right, I blew everything out
of there. Yeah, and you blew yourself on me and
everything else that was out there.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
God, I love this, honey. I'm so glad you got
this for me.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Gary. Is all this junk's supposed to be all over
the run of our house and the plans.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
What did you do? That's another that's what happened. Why
do you have leaves everywhere? Now? That's that thing you
got me.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
So if we put the Christmas tree up yet we did, yeah,
and which is a first, I'm assuming then if you've
got it up, it's an artificial.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, it is. We made. We made, We made a
promised each other. Let's do the artificial. Let's get it
up early. We're having a little early get together. Let's
get this thing up. And it was so gloomy, so
let's do it right now. And we did. To Calda
so did a great, great job. And the other decorations
(08:41):
that's always her gig. And it looks beautiful, but we
made a commitment that we're going to do live next year.
In fact, we had found, you know, our box full
of indoor you know, Christmas lights for the tree, and
so go should we get rid of these? I go, nope,
next year we're going to do a love which is
I agree. So there you go.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
All right.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
So if I'm if we make it.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
To next year, so if we're still around, we'll do
the plan is to do a live tree neck if
we're still here.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
If we're still here, yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Well, have a great show.
Speaker 2 (09:13):

to you as well. Gary Sullivan, Garysullivan online dot com.

of course to Danny Glee star producer, because without Danny Gleeson,
none of that stuff would happened. Danny Gleeson, thank you
so much for all that you do. Now do yourself
a favor. Still plenty of time to plant that tree.
Get out and plant those trees, native plants, pollinator plants,
(09:37):

and the dogs involved with gardening. Pam for your worms
and get out there and do a live Christmas tree.

all means make it the best weekend and the best
Thanksgiving of your life. See it not gardening questions. Ron
