Speaker 2 (00:37):
I'm home.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I looked for you. What was that Thursday night? Yeah,
Thursday night, I looked for you.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Where did you look for me?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I was watching this band cover the eighties? Is that
Liberty Square? Liberty?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah up there? Yeah, sure, yeah. It looked like your
crowd and I just hung out.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
What do you mean crowd?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Oh? I'm sorry, what's that supposed to me? But I
hung out and I thought for sure, I see you
and Sue show up and no.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
It is a good time out there.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, folks are having a great time.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
But agree.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
But it was interesting. Why am I Why are more
of these cover bands? That's more of the eighties now
in nineties. What happened to the sixties and seventies?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, I don't think we need to go to that.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I think the crowd would enjoy him a little bit
more if it dipped back into the seventies a bit,
Is that right? I really do?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Okay, I'll pass that on.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Would you pass that along for him? Well, I'm sure
you have a lot to say.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Actually, Thursday night was a nice night.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
It was a wonderful night. Uh su As the sun
went down, we you know, we had a little dinner
there on the one of the restaurants, and then the
came out there and sat and watched the band for
a little while and realized realized the Sullivans weren't going
to be home be there, so then we left. So no,
I did not go to bed.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You didn't.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
No, I'm not as old as you. I still was
able to stay awake and do.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
A few things. Actually, Thursday night it finally got cool enough.
I actually cut the front yard. Oh did you That's
what I was doing? No music for me?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Made moon music? What is going on with the nuts
nuts edge?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
What do we have lots of rainfall? Do we have moisture?
Water sets?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It. You know, I was with a group of people
yesterday and that came up like three different times.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
What do they call that?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, And I thought we used to talk about that
all the time. It seemed like twenty years ago. I
mean it was everywhere, well in mind, I guess I
got it controlled. I just didn't have it. And then
this year, bam, it's back and you're right, it's the
heat and the water.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And twenty years ago we didn't have anything that could
control it that homeowners could get. You had to call
in the professionals or kill everything out and start all
over again. And of course now that's all about you know,
those are available for homeowners to use it, to treat it.
We know more about it, we know to watch for it.
We don't identify it, know what it can do.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
You can't miss it identifying it can it's.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
You know where it's where it gets tough sometimes, and
this is this is a tough one. You know. You
know what loriope is, right, you guys. If you get
that growing in the loriope, yeah, sometimes it kind of yeah,
it kind of blends together a little bit. You're kind
of like, and then what do you do? How do
you spray that Well, the kicker is you can use
those over the top sprays because the reopey is not
(03:23):
really a grass huh, So you can actually do that.
But I think we know more about it. You know,
we still see it, I mean still there.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, but it's just not been an issue. And then.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, perfect conditions, so no doubt. All right, I got
questions for you home improvement man, Oh are you ready?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Somebody's working you.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Are you ready? Those what do you call the I
know it's just going to be a simple name. The
thing you put on the hydraulic that pulls the screen
doors closed is that it is a screen door closer,
storm door closed, storm door closer. There you go. We
have two on ours each one. I swear I put
(04:07):
a new one on there, and they just don't seem
how often you have to replace those, Like right now,
I've got those things screwed in. You know, you adjust
the little screw right all the way back.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And it's just heavy door something because seriously, I've heard
people talking about what you're talking about, and that is
a gosh. Every year I'm replacing that. I've got two
lightweight screen doors, not necessarily storm doors that are on
the porch and those closers are twenty six years old.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
That's because it's you. No, these are these are storm
doors that have the glass, that have the glass a
good window that goes up and down right, So it's
a heavier weight. Yeah, it's the heavier thing. And then
it seems like I and you've got to replace them both.
You can't just do one right. I never I could
(04:59):
never get the adjustments. I don't know. I screw around
those all the time, and I.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Just they I haven't chopped form lately r. But they
used to have like more of a heavy duty one too,
had a little bigger bar barrel, I guess you would
call it. And you know, I think it was pneumatic,
and those might be a little stronger. It might be.
(05:22):
The way to the door would be my guess. Right.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
It faces the west, so if anything, you know, it
really does work there a little bit more because the
winds sometime, you know, are they're obviously coming out of
the west a little bit more, so it has to
work a little bit harder than the one in the
back of the house that faces the east.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I'll tell you what really screws those up really fast, grandkids,
I don't know. So you don't know about the closures,
but I know the screens. There was a period in there.
I think I was changing out the screen in the
screen door, probably annually. Huh. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
You know what, I can't I can't look at a
screen door without thinking of you.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Now, what did I do?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Well? Don't you remember that thirty years ago with a
screen door thing?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I don't think so, But go ahead.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
That you would repair the screen doors for people?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh yeah, boy, that is that is a long time.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I know.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
How did that get started? Was it somebody mentioned the
screen door to yes radio broadcasts and somebody did.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yes, oh goad, yeah that was the days, all right,
all right, so that was one. Okay, second one. You know,
we do use obviously the stones now, the tumbler stones
and all that for our patios and walkways, including still
using the eighteen and twenty four inch squares concrete steppers.
(06:50):
Is it advisable to take those and we're done putting
those in and actually using a concrete seiler on those
like we would our sidewalks and our driveways. Would it
make those last longer?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I don't think so far, ghost. I mean, unless it's
going to be I think, really what destroys concrete and
pavers and everything else is corrosive materials we use on
those things aka rock, salt, and ice melts. That's really
what does the damage. The advantage to using a sealer
(07:30):
on that would be to minimize water penetration. Not so
much because the water is going to break down the concrete.
It's just that it's that moisture is going to stay
on the surface or in that concrete for an extended
period of time. In other words, it's not going to
dry out by nine point thirty in the morning. It
(07:50):
might not dry out till noon and then mold and
mildew becomes an issue. But really not cutting down the
life more of a cosmetic And there's also some sealers
out there that have a little bit of sheen to
it which really looks good on brick.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
So yes, if you want to, but not necessarily not necessary.
