Speaker 3 (00:20):
This is the Troubleshooter Show. No Tom Martinez. Welcome, my friends,
my friends out there, neighbors, friends, family, people, you name it.
We love doing this show. Every single day we're here
to help you and as you know, it is the
only show of its kind. We solve problems, answer questions,

(00:41):
take complaints, educate you. We love doing that. Any consumer
issues whatsoever, we love the education part of this. We
had uh Brian Burns in yesterday Compass Insurance, and we
learned a lot about insurance and there's a lot of
changes coming to Colorado. Today. We've got Mark Schamansky Genesis
totally excuse barriers. Great guy. First of all, I want

(01:03):
to preference that they've done a lot of work at
our house. They have done such a bang up job
on different things at our house. It's incredible. They're going
to be helping us with some other stuff shortly. In fact,
one of them, Mark is going to be painting the
entire interior of our house. And that is like it
gives me anxiety. Yeah, well, I mean, for I don't

(01:25):
know why it's always been. You know, it's kind of
a They refer to it as a country estate. And
there's a lot of wood, and we're getting the floors
resanded by Big Bear Flooring over next week. And I'm
just a little the anxiety of seriously changing all the
interior color. What I love, though, is that woman you

(01:46):
brought out when we did the exterior. Suzanne wanted to
do the same color. And I guess a lot of
people generally want to keep the house same color. It's
it's natural. In fact, even my own house.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
I'm like, I put this big addition on, going, Okay,
now I gotta get this peink color match And I go,
wait a minute, Why am I matching a color I
don't like it?

Speaker 3 (02:03):
WHYU to the house because it was there? It's natural? Yeah,
And I said no, and I love the color of
our house now. And you brought that You brought her out.
I think she was with Sherwin Williams actually Guy Res,
guy Res Gyris, And man, did she just do it perfect?
She said to Suzanne, Nope, let's change this up one
hundred percent. We used to have like a kind of

(02:23):
like a puke yellow. Yeah. I didn't like the color house. Well,
with your stone. It just didn't go no, and the
stone's beautiful. So basically she looked at the stone and
found some grayish blue in there and said, hey, let's
go with this blue and then we'll do this for
Tram And it turned out beautiful. And on top of that,
whatever product you used that had to be four or
five years ago still looks brand now.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yea, that's Benjaminmore.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
But it gives it truly does give me anxiety. It
gives Suzanne anxieties.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
It's funny how many times I go to a person's
house and I go, have you ever thought about changing
that color? Because again, what you just said, A lot
of people say the same and they get offended. Sometimes.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yeah, it's just like, well, it's sometimes good.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
To look because well, and then the other yellow house
is not attractive anymore.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
We don't have to deal with this, but a lot
of people would have to deal with the hoa.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah they do.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
So if you've got to deal with the HOA, that
can get completely uh different. I mean, we've had calls
up where people have someone paint their house. They didn't
go through the proper channels, and they're getting fines left
and right.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, they got to redo it.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
They got to redo it. I mean it's really crazy.
All right, folks, listen. I'll always tell you when we
have a line open. Three oh three seven one three
eight two five five. We do have a line open
right now. Any questions you have on the exterior of
your house or even the inside of your house. We've
got a great contractor and studio with us. Matt was
supposed to come and if he's listening, Oh wow, Monument

(03:46):
closed down. I guess there was like multiple I saw
it on Fox thirty one this morning. Guys, did you
see that multiples jackknife tractor trailers just both sides of
the highway at mine, I mean completely shut down around
eight thirty last night. I don't know when they reopened,
but you know he's he's crying about that.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
No, Monument Hills seems to be synonymous with traffic messes
and accidents and crashes.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yes, it's crazy much snow they get there, It's like
it's like it's own over the place. How could it
be like that? What explains this anomaly? I'll tell you what.
I'll tell you part of it and I live in it. Yeah,
Palmer Divide. Well, so what's so significant about Palmer Divide.
There's some really strange winds going through there. So our
house last night, look out here, did you guys get

(04:32):
any snow? I have no stone Evergreen. We got three
inches of snow yesterday. It was like a white out.
Get around seven or eight o'clock at night. If we
looked out our big picture window, you couldn't even see
the deck right there. Wow, it was crazy, the winter's
last hurrah. But then you go up to Castle Rock,
which is literally thirteen minutes nothing. I mean, we've had

(04:55):
a foot of snow before and Castle Rock hits nothing.
And it's just in that weird We're just in this
little weird area that comes I guess down from the
mountains called the Palmer Divide. The Black Forest is also
in it, but Monument's part of it. And then the
other place guys that gets nailed a lot is in
between Castle Rock and Parker. I forget the name they

(05:16):
give it, but it's really crazy up around there. There'll
be a ton of traffic jamster in an ice storm.
Well it is what it is, all right, Hey, Pat,
what's going on? He's got a question. I'm selling a
cargo van three h three Martino one line open, Pat,
what's going on with you?

Speaker 5 (05:34):
Well, I'm driving out of Garden City, Kansas, and it's
horrible down here?

Speaker 6 (05:38):
Is it?

Speaker 7 (05:39):
Really?

Speaker 3 (05:39):
The plains are bad?

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Well, they had a blizzard yep. So I don't know
if you've ever been to Garden City, but as you're
coming in, it's like a ten mile stretch. It's two
lanes both ways. And it wasn't your bad coming down
from Colorado Springs. And when I got like ten miles
from Garden City, they had plowed. There's like eight ten
inches to show on the road.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, right now they have. That's crazy. Literally, you guys
are in a blizzard warning right there. It's kind of
no one ever heard of it. It's kind of by
well not really by haze, but if you're coming out
of Denver kind of. But anyhow, what's going on with
this van?

Speaker 8 (06:19):
Man?

Speaker 5 (06:21):
So it's a van that I used. I'm a private
contractor and I used it for about twelve well not

truck or is it more of a like a van
van a twelve passenger. Yeah, it's a van, okay, got you.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
But I just had the front to sheets and then
there's a shield behind them, and all the rest of
the back of it is open cop Yeah, cool man.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
So it's a good it's a good work truck, and
you're trying to sell it. Yeah, So what are your
questions on it? Do you have the title already?

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (07:15):

and fifty six thousand miles on it.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
It's a diesel though, right in f two fifty. No,
you got a gas two fifty. Okay, that's a lot
of miles on that gasolene engine.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
Well, here's the thing. In the last year, I replaced
both the motor and the transmission.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Oh nice, So the power train's all good to go,
cool man?

Speaker 5 (07:40):
Yeah, less than thirty thousand miles on both of them.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Well, I guess it just depends what.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
A lot of money into it.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Hey, what did you replace the engine and transmission with?
Was a brand new like brand new factory materious, that'd
be crazy. Probably rebuilt, use the rebuilt.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
Yeah, well they were rebuilt. They both have three year
one hundred wark.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah that's cool. So what's your question on selling it though?
I mean, do you want us to? I mean, if
anybody out there is listening is interested, how much you
getting for it? Is the body in good shape? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (08:15):
I think good.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Tires, everything. I mean, it's ready to rock and roll
and go to a construction company.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
Yeah, we're a service company like a plumber.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Sure, carpet guy. Anything for a serial killer or a
serial killer, that's good to me. Is it a white series?
And is there no windows?

Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yeah, it's it's it's got the windows. But the guy
that they black them out, the guy that put wire
mag on the glass.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Chester Chester Chester, the molester. So you don't roll by
any schools, is what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (08:55):

Yeah?

Speaker 3 (09:01):

I gotta figure out where you're going with this, But
I gotta take this break. When you come back, I mean,
give us some price. I don't mind trying to help
you sell it, or maybe you got particular questions like
how should you sell it and not get ripped off? Hey,

Speaker 3 (10:07):
All right, three oh three seven one three eight two

want to get to the bottom of what's going here.
But by the way, this hour brought to you by
water Pros waterpros dot net. Paul Innegang can come out
listen to this for under four thousand dollars, a brand
new system that does everything I'm going to tell you.

(10:50):
we love it. You got to check him out waterpros
dot net. That special is good to the end of
the month. That's only eleven twelve more days. Waterpros dot
net under four grand. Now let's get back to Pat. So, Pat,
I still need to know what your question is on
selling the van.

Speaker 5 (11:08):
Well, I just don't want to get ripped off, and
I've I've wanted, you know, information in the car man
and they basically want me to give the van away
to them. Yeah, I think it's worked. So I didn't
know if you knew of any days night scamp.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
So here's I'm going to give you some good advice
and everybody else out there. I have sold so many
vehicles in my life it's crazy. I think I've literally
traded maybe one in and they gave me a great
price for it, and that was McDonald Hondai and the
reason was it was a Hondai and it was still
under manufacturer's warranty so they could certify it. But outside

(11:45):
of that, I have sold probably ten vehicles. I always
do one thing. I show up at a bank. I
don't care what bank it is. Hopefully it's the bank
that person uses. I always go on the test drive
with them. I always get a picture of whoever shows
up and I text it to my wife, just so
in case if I disappear, there's at least a clue

(12:05):
out there. And then I only do it for a
cashier's check from that bank. I won't even do a
cashier's check from the individual. Here's what I mean. If
he goes into his account or she and gets a
check for twenty grand for you, that can be stopped
by that person. You could turn around, and if it's
on a Saturday, by Monday hits, they already canceled it.

(12:28):
So what you do is you take that twenty thousand
dollars check drawn off of their account. You walk up
to the teller and convert it into a bank check,
a cashiers check that's from the bank. Then it's golden.
No one can cancel it but the bank. So that's
how you get paid one hundred percent listing it. I
hate to say this, The only time I have listed

(12:52):
a car and it sells and I meet somebody is
a place I hate telling people, but I'm gonna be honest.
It's the only one that works, and it's cheap to
list it. It's like twenty bucks. It's Craigslist. I have
tried cars dot Com, I have tried KBB. I have
tried everything you can imagine out there, and I never
get any bytes. And I figured out why. The dealerships

(13:15):
own all the space. So if someone else is selling
a twenty fifteen van and it's a dealership, you will
see every other one up there, buttyers. You'll have to
go twenty pages in to find an individual listing. And
once again, I don't care if it's cars dot Com, KBB.

(13:35):
They all cater to the dealerships. That's who feeds them,
that's who pays the bill. Craig's list has worked out
great for me. You just got to be careful. You
don't deal with the text. You only deal with the
phone call. You meet during the day at a bank.
Like I said, you go on the test drive, you
take a picture of it, and that's it. I mean,

(13:56):
that's about as safe as you can get. Does anybody
here have any other input on it? I always dose
Craigslist and I've had great luck I've had with Craigslist
and cars. It's the only way I've ever sold cars.
I've done it on Facebook Marketplace too. I've never tried it, Yeah,
but Craigslist always works for me.

Speaker 8 (14:13):
Hearing about Facebook Marketplace, say that again, Pat book market Well,
nobody one of the other drivers mentioned to me about
Facebook Marketplace.

Speaker 5 (14:23):
But I don't know anything about it. You know, I
have gold w Bark craig Blist.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
So here's the deal man. Facebook Marketplace is pretty straight up.
I mean, mark you just log into your account and
basically create a marketplace ad, right, And I think it's
only five bucks, Yeah, it's five bucks. I would do
that too. But the important part is do not deal
with texting. The number one thing you're going to get
from both of those You're going to tech get text going, Hey,
I'm in Kansas. I really need this van. I need

(14:51):
it tomorrow. I'm going to go ahead and I'll give
you sixteen thousand dollars even though you only want fifteen,
and the thousand is to pay for shipping there, and
they might even send you a check. But eventually, I
don't care if it's a cashiers check or whatever. It's
phony BLOONI and your vehicle's gone. So the only thing
you do is deal with a bank's check or cash.

(15:13):
Greenbacks are fine because you're already at a bank. You
can make sure they're not counterfeit. They'll check for you
right there. But that's the only way I do it. Pat,
how much do you want for it? Give us a
year make model again? It was a twenty fourteen. What
is it?

Speaker 5 (15:29):
It's an E two fifty heavy duty cargo van and it's.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Got a new rebuilt powertrain meaning the transmission and engine
that still has a transferable warranty on it. Yeah, and
then how much do you want for it?

Speaker 5 (15:43):
I'm probably gonna start at like eighteen five just based
on what I've seen. Yeah, lift it out there right now, Okay,
because there's some that are a little bit newer than
mine that have less mileage, but you know it's seventy
eighty thousand mile and they're one twenty twenty four thousand.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
I got you, man, So if anybody out there is interested,
it's Pat. You can email us here and we'll get
it to Pat Kelly. Make sure we get his information
in case we do get a lead on it, or
if you just want to offer him some fort I
have no idea the value of this thing. It depends
on the build out in the back. Just a big
cargo band, even though it's got the rebuilt stuff. Two

(16:22):
hundred and fifty thousand miles is a lot of miles
on a vehicle. But you can email us at help
a Troubleshooter dot com. Help a Troubleshooter dot com. The
other thing I have found with Craigslist, Guys, if you
want to get rid of joke, and I don't mean
like trash, I mean junk, something that like an old VCR,
a TV that you're not allowed to throw in your

(16:45):
trash can. This kind of stuff. You list it for free.
And man, I had someone come over disassemble an entire
massive swing set. You know, when our kids were little.
It was all would we bought it like at home
depot you put it together, it's just massive. It's got
to slide in the fort and all this crap. They
came out disassembled it took every bit of it, did

(17:07):
a great job. They got it for free, disassembled the
trampoline that we didn't want anymore. I mean anything for free.
I find Craigslist works really well, So.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
That's pretty cool if you had that weird there's this
weird scam going on on Craigslist car ads. I had
two friends that just sold their cars. They both got
overwhelmed with these responses a personal contact and pretending to
be interested in the car and say, okay, I'll buy
it by how though, by phone, by email, whatever the
responses to Craigslist. But first, for both of our protection,

(17:39):
I'd like to check the background of this automobile on
this website and you only you can go register right
there and it's like a generic version of car facts
and there are dozens of them, and then you got
to pay forty nine dollars to go register.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
So heard about this, Yes, I have. In fact, I've
gotten text like that from there. I post pictures on
Craigslist of the car. I never post the license plate
and I blank out part of the vent. And the
reason I do that is there is some ways of
getting information of where you live or where the cars register.

(18:15):
It is probably a better way to say it based
on those things, so I usually do that. I would
never give the vent out until I met someone. Then
they can check it and do a car fax that
takes thirty seconds. I mean, it's not a big deal
to pull a car fax on something. So what's the
goal of the scam? I have no idea what the
ultimate goal is. It's not like they can reregister it.

(18:38):
I would assume the goal of that scam is to
get more of the information where the cars located.

Speaker 7 (18:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Either that or is just a bunch of losers trying
to get their commission from a forty nine dollars sale.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
I don't know. It's just so busy. What do you
think That's what it sounds like to me, the forty
nine dollars.

Speaker 6 (18:53):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
In other words, you're just saying the fake carfax is
making all the money. Yeah. In other words, here you
go and it's thirty nine bucks and if it comes back, well,
I'll buy your vehicle. That's exactly. Basically, you pay the
thirty and I didn't even think of that. That's exactly
what it is. Y if you got dozens both of
my friends. Yeah, you get one hundred people running it.
Think about that. You get one hundred people that get

(19:14):
scammed into it. That person just made some decent money.
That's thirty nine hundred bucks and whatever their share of
it is. But they might even operate. It could be
completely bogus. Yeah, I mean completely bogus. In other words,
the report comes back from some fourth party that I mean, really,
it just is incomplete. It means almost nothing. I agree,

(19:36):
that's I mean, it's it. That's an interesting one. I
got those I never even thought about it. I never
thought of the aspect you just gave. Hey, Mike and Richard,
you guys are up next. Listen, we got two lines open.
I'd love to hear from you. Bottom line is, you've
been ripped off, You've been taken advantage of. You got
a bad contractor you want everybody to know about. You
got a bad landlord, you got a bad anything. We

(19:59):
like warning people about what's going on. We use the
power of the media to go after those making your
life miserable.

Speaker 10 (20:12):
of insurance companies find out now three all three seven

(20:34):

Speaker 3 (20:43):
five five. You know, Channon, I'm not perfect. I never
claim on being perfect. If you listen on YouTube, you'll
know what I'm talking about during the breaks, Chan it's
just given me crap. But yet I was right at
the same time.

Speaker 9 (21:00):
I can't go number two anymore.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Yes, And if everybody out there heard the Drew hour
three or four weeks ago, I once again apologize for everything.
We had a guy call up and for an hour
we heard how he cannot.

Speaker 11 (21:16):
Yeah, I can't go number two anymore.

Speaker 6 (21:18):
Just like that?

Speaker 3 (21:19):
All right, Hey, Mike, what's going on? What question do
you have for our guest, Mark Schamansky, genesistotalexteriors dot com.

Speaker 12 (21:27):
Well, first, I've been a member for years of a
group called free Cycle, and everything is totally free, no
selling allowed. You can it's signing up for free, and
you can join as many groups in as many.

Speaker 9 (21:40):
States as you like.

Speaker 12 (21:41):
And Denver Metro Denver has at least ten free Cycle groups.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
What does that mean. I'm looking at the website now,
so for example, it says Yamaha Electic Electne electne organ Oh,
I see, it's like Craiglis free stuff.

Speaker 12 (21:57):
Yeah, it's totally free, no selling, and you put offers
launched and some companies are members so you can get
machinery and industrial things, all kinds.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
I'm going to look one up real quick. Let me
put something in gold bars. It may it's not one
damn gold bar for free anywhere. Nope, there's not. But
I appreciate that tidbit of information. What's your question for Mark?

Speaker 12 (22:27):
What percentage generally does exterior stuggling increase the value of
a wood framed house and can it be done without
damaging plants within inches of the walls.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
So percentage of increasing the value the house, I don't
think I can give you exact number, but I will
tell you a stucco house has a great curve appeal
and that will increase the value of house as well
as you know, just so many drives. I'm like, wow,
look how beautiful that looks.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Hold on, I want to jump in there, especially Mike,
with that question, and I'll tell you why. I mean,
if your sighting looks like absolute crap right now in
the in the paint looks like absolute crap, and then
you redo it with brand new stucco, I mean i'd
say you're gonna raise the value of it tremendously.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
I mean, I agree, yes, But if it's a beautiful.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Hardy board in great paint, I mean you might not
increase it at all because it looked good before and after.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Sure, and then having plants right next to the house,
I mean unfortunately, you know, the workers have to step
you know, they need area to work, and so like,
right now is a great time to do stucco because
the plants aren't starting to grow yet.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Hey, I got to ask you something, Mark on that note,
when you painted the exterior of our house, what's your
painter's name?

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Omar?

Speaker 3 (23:49):
Omar? How the hell did he move all those shrubs?
He didn't move them, But I mean, we have shrubs
that go right up against the house, kind of like
Mike's talking with plants. But somehow when I had those
torn out last year, we had someone come in a landscaper.
He painted behind there. How the hell did he pay so?

Speaker 6 (24:08):
Well?

Speaker 3 (24:08):
The damn brush is right up to it.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
What they'll do is they'll take tarps and lay a
tart between the house and the uh and the.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Bush and then pull it and I have some guys
pull it back.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Why they paint behind that?

Speaker 3 (24:18):
I was shocked to see that, Mike, you have any
other questions? Are you thinking of getting your home redone
with stucco?

Speaker 11 (24:26):
Uh?

Speaker 12 (24:27):
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with the exterior, but it would
make it look nicer and provide more insulation.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
How does that work right on top? I'm sorry, Mike?
How does that work? Right on to it's wood wood side?

Speaker 1 (24:38):
And basically we attached chicken wire and then we put
a scratch coat on top of that, and that's all
attached to the house then, and then what we do
is then we put another scratch coat on and put
mesh in it, and then you got your top coat.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
So when you just spray the stucco on, is it
generally colored at that point?

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Or you pay the last the last color, the last
coat is colored.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
The whole thing. Yep, So go ahead, mikel.

Speaker 12 (25:01):
I've seen two houses given away on free cycle.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Two homes. Yes, well, I'll tell you something about stuff
like that. A lot of times a municipality, I think
it was Schenectady, New York. They were giving away a
ton of old homes downtown because they wanted that tax
revenue coming in. So I have seen stuff like that.
Detroit did that too, Who did it? Detroit did? Yeah, Detroit.

(25:28):
A lot of these areas they try to bring back.
You could literally go in and get a house for free,
but you agree to certain things.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Italy too, we go to Italy and get a house
for a dollar or whatever. They had that for a
while in these little small towns. That's crazy to.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
Yep, you had your pan has such an aging population
and oversupply of housing, they're giving away homes.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
That's crazy. Not in Colorado, No, No, I don't see
any free homes in Franktown. I've looked three oh three
seven one three A two five five. We're going to

But Richard's been holding the longest. Hey, Richard, I got

(26:07):
to take a break in a minute or two, but
give me an idea of what's going on. Richard. Hello,
hey man, what's going on? Richard?

Speaker 11 (26:20):
Basically, I live in RV Park and I've lived here
twenty years and had a couple of incidents with the
land the landowner, the manager. I should say it's in
a trust because the parents passed away a couple of
years ago, got it. And basically what's gone on is,
first of all, there was a tree cutting next to

(26:42):
my trailer and their tree cutters were bouncing something off
the trailer and I went out to him and they
stopped the job. The manager came to me and said, hey,
you're out of the park and wouldn't listen to my
side of it. So then he turned around and I
I think that Hode housing and they told me Verbo

(27:03):
isn't it He's got to put in writing. So then
he'd tried to send me a bill they sent to
him to come back.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
How much was the bill? I mean, how much was
the bill?

Speaker 11 (27:13):
Six cent fifty dollars. This is the first episode.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
All right, hold on, let me get to this break.

you out of there. You know. Fortunately, unless if you're
the property owner or the management company. In Colorado, mobile

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yeah, that would be cool. Actually, okay, let's get back
to Richard. So, Richard, you're in a trailer park and
basically they were cutting down a tree next to you, right.

Speaker 11 (28:49):
Yeah, I've actually sent you an EMEO with an outline
is about five events, says taken.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Yeah, but where are we at right now? Are they
threatening to evict you? Did you get a ten? They notice?
Where are you at?

Speaker 11 (29:02):
That's not the subject. The subject is. It is led
up to a certain situation because the landlord has lost
two situations to me, and now it's acting. He's acting
like he's being revengeful and he's getting the neighbor involved
to be part taking in that. And where I'm going

(29:24):
with is the last event was I have a truck
and I have a park next to my I live
in an RV and I have it a park next
to my trailer and a known spot for twenty years,
and I drive it from time to time. He's seen it,
his paths has seen it. That owned the property before.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
What are they saying though about it?

Speaker 11 (29:45):
What they had? What happened is a neighbor turned around
and I went and I came back and there's rock
set up and block he set up, and he's telling me, oh,
your truck is too big.

Speaker 9 (29:56):
I shouldn't be there.

Speaker 11 (29:57):
It's overhanging in the road.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
And what's this guy's name?

Speaker 11 (30:01):
This is part of me.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
What's the guy's name? The first name Blake, So Blake,
and he's directly next to you.

Speaker 11 (30:11):
Now the guy next to me is William, But Blake
is the is the manager of the park, who is
one of the sons of a trust that he runs
the park for the trust.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah, but I guess what I'm saying, So you think Blake.
And who's the other guy, William or who's basically trying
to chase you off?

Speaker 11 (30:32):
Yeah, because what happened is, like I said, this truck
has been there twenty years, parked it and been back
and forth. All of a sudden, Wayne, the person in
the space next to me, is saying I'm over parking
into his property.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Well that's pretty easy. I mean, are you going into
his lot or not? I mean it's either a yes
or no. I understand your point. If you've been doing
it forever, you don't think it's fair. But is it
literally going over into his lot?

Speaker 11 (30:57):
It has by a foot?

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Okay? Can you make it to where it doesn't? I mean,
if you're in an RV, can you move the RV
a little so then you could park.

Speaker 11 (31:07):
The landlord has denied it being their period.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Oh that doesn't mean okay, Well hold on, why aren't
you allowed to have a vehicle? Help me out there.

Speaker 11 (31:16):
He's saying that. He's saying that it can only be cars,
and the truck is not a car.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
What kind of truck is it? What are we talking
about like an F one fifty or are we talking
like a truck truck?

Speaker 11 (31:28):
It's a custom hauler FL sixty four door that was
made the pool horse trailers and RV. That's a big
boy it is.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
But they're basically saying no commercial vehicles is kind of
what they're saying. A lot of hoa's do stuff very similar.
So what do you think to fix this? Right now?
Why does Wayne, have it out for you. Let me
ask you that what happened. It's not every day that
all of a sudden a battle like this ensues. So
what literally happened? Why why are you guys in to

(32:00):
it right now? Did you irritate him first or what happened?
Be honest.

Speaker 11 (32:05):
The young man has been working in an area that
I is my front yard, and I understand you need
to work on his tree like sighted, Yeah, but he
turns around and leaves this stuff there overnight. Yeah, and
it's like, this isn't right, you know.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
And now, well maybe that's not right. But now that's
why he's nitpicking. When it comes to your your big
truck being there, is it still there right now? Or
did you end up moving the zail?

Speaker 11 (32:33):
No? No, they blocked it by putting rocks, supposedly the
Bobby line, which I called the police.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
But wait, wait, wait, wait please, Richard, I'm trying to
figure out is your truck there now? I don't care
if it's blocked in by rocks? No, where is the land?

Speaker 11 (32:50):
The manager told me it has to be placed in
a storage area and I'd be charged fifty dollars a month.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
Okay? Is that where it is now. Yes, that might
not be a bad answer to this. I don't know
how you're going to win.

Speaker 11 (33:04):
If you're view I guess, I guess my own understanding.
It's been there twenty years. Both parties have seen it there. Yeah,
all of a sudden it's a problem.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, well it doesn't really matter. I mean there's hoas
out there that say you can't have a purple house
and don't do anything about it, and ten years later
they say, hey, you've got a purple house, we want
it changed. I mean, there's nothing you're going to do
if that's technically on his lot. I mean, that's how
it is. And then the other thing is if you
look at the covenants or whatever the rules of the

(33:35):
park are, if it says you can't have a commercial
vehicle or a big truck like that, or a work
truck might be the way they describe it, then you're
not allowed to have it. The fact they let you
do it for a while and now they don't sucks.
I agree, it sucks, but it doesn't mean they can't
start enforcing the rule.

Speaker 11 (33:54):
They are enforcing that because of revenge.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
I man, I want ruchard. I agree with you. Here's
what I'd like to I've won.

Speaker 11 (34:02):
I've won two situations. I took him the small claims
court and I won.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
What did you win for in small claims court?

Speaker 11 (34:09):
Because there was when I was I had lost my
job at thirty two years yeah, and I was here
in the park. So I took a job in Iowa
with with CenturyLink. What did you win like to get
a transfer back? What did it when I was in
where I was in Iowa? I paid on the lot
and the utilities. Yeah, so I paid extra tours in

(34:32):
agreements with with with the owner.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Hold On, Richard, I've got a big break coming up.
I want to dive a little further in and try
to help you out. I've got a few ideas, but
I mean, really, when I asked you a question like
what did you want in small claims court? I mean
like what did you one one hundred dollars? I mean
did you win not getting evicted? I mean really, I
just want to know the answer to that. And like
I said, I have an idea that might help you

(34:57):
get that truck back there, But you got to be
game as well. Three oh three, Martino, we get a

right now. We have two lines open. I've got one
of our legal experts up and let me tell you
why I got to recap this. But first I want
to tell you about Frank durand the real estate man. Man,

(36:41):
he did such a bang up job selling our house
in Castle Rock. He did this matter Horn three D walkthrough.
He always lists new listings. I believe on a Friday
he's got secret sauce. And here's the deal. We had
over one hundred thousand people around the country walk through
our house and we've got fifteen or twenty offers. There's
valid good offers, some no contingency offers. That following Monday,

(37:05):
then the bidding war started. He made us so much
money on that house. I couldn't believe it. If you
want the best, forget about the rest. Frank Duran homes
dot com. That's Frankduran homes dot com. Now we had
this caller last hour and I'm gonna bring him back up.
But he's got an issue with couple people. One he's
got an issue with the landlord, and he also has

(37:27):
an issue with the neighbor. And he has a truck
that's a work truck. It's a big truck. It's one
of these trucks that can pull a huge trailer like
a horse trailer, and the bottom line was it was
hanging over on his neighbor's property. Now, this is a
trailer park, so these are lots, neither of them on it.

(37:47):
The person that runs the trailer park got involved and said,
you can't have that truck there anymore. We don't watch
you park in there, and you can store it in
one of our back lots or in storage. But it's
going to be fifty bucks a month. So now Richard's
pretty upset. And Richard's your main question, and it is
a good question. We're going to find out the answer

(38:08):
from Bradley O'Brien from a legal aspect of it. But
let me tell everybody, including Brad, what his question is.
For twenty years, you've been parking that same truck the
same way. Is that correct?

Speaker 6 (38:24):
Correct?

Speaker 3 (38:25):
And it was never an issue until you and the
neighbor started bickering about him doing some work and not
putting away his tools. And he was on your lot right, correct?
So you feel as if the landlord's taking.

Speaker 14 (38:41):
His side, Yes, and I have reasons for that.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Well, okay, give us a few more reasons. I have,
Brad listening, So what are some of the other reasons.
I want you to lay out your story, hey day.

Speaker 11 (38:54):
Out of the story is, as I mentioned, the tree
was cut down. He was the tree cutter, stopped the job,
made him pay an additional fee to come back. Additional
fee the manager who was pointing to me for two
months in a row. But the bill was to him
and I said I wasn't going to pay it. And

(39:14):
I told him why because when he first came to me,
he was argumentative and would not listen to me. Second
situation is at the trailer. The neighbor and nine who
I'm talking about. I bought a new trailer and he
came to me and asked me to do the truck
and I said, I will want to get you know
when I getting.

Speaker 9 (39:33):
Ready to do it.

Speaker 11 (39:35):
And so he went to the landlord and told him
I refused.

Speaker 9 (39:40):
To move it.

Speaker 11 (39:41):
Yeah to me, argumenty and I just told him, hey,
I said I'd move it at my time.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Yeah, just time.

Speaker 11 (39:49):
And so the third thing was I took the landlord
to court because of a credit that his parents had
we agreed upon when on for years and he got
to be a good sum of money he refused to pay.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
Attick how much was the credit.

Speaker 11 (40:06):
Sixty six hundred ninety dollars.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
And for people listening, the reason he's saying their kid
is when the parents either passed away or gave up
the park, they put it in a trust and their
kid now runs the park. So he didn't want to
give him give Richard the credit of sixty six hundred.
So you took him to court and is at the
small claims court you were talking about.

Speaker 11 (40:27):
That is correct.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
Did he end up paying the money?

Speaker 11 (40:31):
Yeah, because number one, he just pissed it.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
In other words, you pissed them off. Let's just say
what it is that pissed them off?

Speaker 11 (40:37):
Right, he made them mad?

Speaker 14 (40:39):
That's great, all right.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
Now here's what I want to ask Bradley O'Brien. Brad
You're going to think I'm crazy, and I think it's
I think the answer is going to be no, but
it's a shot. Okay. We've all heard, well maybe not
all of us, but a lot of us have heard
the term adverse possession. Generally speaking, this would be property

(41:01):
if from say a neighbor or maybe even a business
or maybe even the state where someone has been using
property is if it was their own for a long
period of time, then all of a sudden, the other
person finds out about it. Maybe maybe someone dies and
someone gets the property and people can go after adverse possession.

(41:26):
There's a lot to it. But in a case of
a trailer park and a line, I mean basically it's
a lot, so a lot line. Is there any way
you could see adverse possession working in this scenario? I can't,
but I'd love to hear from you and then any
other thoughts you have on Richard's situation, Brad.

Speaker 15 (41:48):
So you're asking, can this tenant claim adverse possession because
his truck overhung the edge of his rental property onto
the next to the edge Bason rental property for twenty years?

Speaker 3 (42:02):
For twenty years? Do you see any case there? And
now the landlord, because Richard got into it with his neighbor,
now the landlord told him you can't even park that
truck anymore there period and blocked it off, blocked off
his parking spot with what Richard rocks and stuff.

Speaker 11 (42:20):
Like that rocks and a post.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
So he basically made it to he can't even park
there where he's apparently been parking for twenty years. Brad.

Speaker 14 (42:31):
I think it's a super long shot.

Speaker 15 (42:32):
I mean, yeah, this is the eighteen year statute, and
he's been doing this for twenty years, but he's claiming
ever his possession is when you claim at property interest
because you've done something. I mean, it's a very nuanced claim.
I theoretically there may be something there.

Speaker 16 (42:49):
I would have to.

Speaker 15 (42:50):
Really look at up. It's a very fact intensive claim.
I'd have to really look at it closely, actually speaking.
It's such an extensive claim to bring, and you have
to go to the district or a year, and it's
probably cost tens of thousand dollars to win that claim.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
And he doesn't even own the property. Well say it again,
he doesn't even own the proper You don't own that property, right, Richard?

Speaker 11 (43:12):
You lease it, that's correctly ran it month to month.

Speaker 13 (43:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
So, I mean, I don't even understand how adverse possession
can you Actually this is a side note, Brad, But
if you don't own the property, can you claim adverse possession?
How would you take property that it's not even adjacent
to your property?

Speaker 11 (43:34):
Well?

Speaker 15 (43:34):
Yeah, adverse possession in the normal sense is to claim
fee simple ownership of some property you don't own because
you squat it on it.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
For eighteen years.

Speaker 9 (43:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (43:45):
But you can actually get some property, You can actually
claim some property interest sort of fee, simple ownership. I
didn't example for exactly, be a quick example. I had
a case where somebody in wintertime for over for decades
across country skiing across their neighbor's ranch, and they only
did it seasonally. So the adverse possession clan there would

(44:07):
have been to not see simple ownership of that a
cross country ski path, but just a right to use.

Speaker 3 (44:14):
It, almost like an easement for skiers. That's crazy, right.

Speaker 16 (44:19):
You can adverse possession basically, Oh.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
My god, Brad, I did not know that. So I
did not know that. I always thought the only remedy
with adverse possession is basically you take possession of that property.
I mean, I realized you might have to go and
pay property taxes and the rear and other stuff, but
that's kind of how I always looked at it. That
is great information.

Speaker 15 (44:41):
Hey, hey, Richard, this is a yeah, I have to
I have to just clarify something here, because this is
all very theoretical. Sure, a tenant does not have a
right to adverse possession possession of something that they lease,
so he could not adversely possess the lot that he's
been renting for twenty years.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
No, but he might have use of it.

Speaker 15 (44:59):
Yeah, but what But so he's claiming out dispossession of
a portion of the neighbors the djacent property. They would
only apply if he continued to rent when he's been renting.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
I agree one hundred percent. And I also agree with you, Brad.
It's silly because Richard, it would cost you so much
to even take that angle. And it's not a slam
dunk by any but by any means, it's not a
slam dug. But I do want to ask you this
as a follow up, Brad. Remember it's a trailer park
and they actually put up he's saying a post in rocks,

(45:35):
so he can no longer park there. I mean, are
you allowed? Just in total theory, I would think if
I rented out something to somebody and didn't want him
parking there anymore after twenty years, putting up a post
or boulders or whatever he's trying to describe, I don't
think you can do that, can you.

Speaker 15 (45:55):
Well, that might be a given argument for a partial eviction,
like the landlord took self help directed something on the
lot that he's renting to let him have so he.

Speaker 11 (46:05):
Has less use of them.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
Yeah, what he has been.

Speaker 15 (46:07):
Renting that could be a partial addiction, But he also
has basically a waiver argument about the portion of the
adjacent property. He would argue that he's been doing this
for such a long time that the landlord effectively waived
any breach of any problem with his parking.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
So let's talk real life here, and what I mean
by that is Richard, let's face it. I mean, he
lives in the trailer park, he lives in an RV,
and now he's got to pay for his car to
get stored there for fifty bucks a month. I guess
what I'm saying is he doesn't have thirty thousand dollars
to go after this. So in all reality, what is
something that could actually help Richard in his circumstance, Brad.

(46:49):
I mean, if he did want to go to the
landlord and take him the court, could he go to
small claims for example? No, because small claims is only monetary.
You can't go to small claims and say I want
his foot and I want to be able to park
here anymore. So I don't even know what kind of
action he could bring without an attorney that he would
even have a shot at.

Speaker 15 (47:08):
Practically speaking, he could go to the count court with
the quick and cheap and with ingo there without an
attorney and claim partial eviction because the landlord is no
longer letting him. He love it, but he's been using
for twenty years. He's have to argue waiver and he
can basically argue that what he's renting includes that that
piece that he's been overhanging for twenty years with this truck,

(47:31):
and that's that's his that's his lot.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
Hey, Richard, listen, man, I love what Brad saying. This
is why he's our legal expert with property. I mean,
he's basically saying you can go to county court and
claim partial eviction. You're going to have to do some research,
and I don't think it's going to be that hard
for you because you already sued this guy and won
that sixty seven hundred dollars. So I don't know why

(47:53):
you wouldn't do that. The adverse possession, there's no way
because it's just it doesn't make any sense to do.
But how about that idea, Richard. It sounds like something
you could probably pull off.

Speaker 11 (48:06):
So I would go to where the county court.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
Yeah, you would go to the go ahead, Brad. I mean,
just got to give them step one, two and three.

Speaker 15 (48:13):
Well, if a tendant gets illegally evicted, they can bring
an illegal eviction claim. There's extra forums on the court
website to do that. And you're gonna claim illegal eviction,
not a full addiction, but a partial eviction.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
You're gonna claim. You're gonna find the papers to file
in whatever county you're in. I don't know, nor do
I care. On their website there's gonna be eviction uh papers,
So you're gonna look them up and you're gonna find
the one for a partial eviction, or maybe it's all
the same, but you're gonna claim partial eviction. You're gonna
basically say, by blacking off that driveway and not allowing

(48:45):
you to park after twenty years is the same as
getting partially evicted. So you're gonna fight and get a
court date and he's going to have to show up
and justify to a judge. Why up until you and
a neighbor started in an argument you were allowed to
park there for twenty years. I think it's actually a

(49:05):
good argument, wouldn't you, Brad? It's well, a typical attorney.
Typical attorney. I love that, Brad. It is an argument.
But Richard, you got any other questions because I got
to move on to some other calls. I hope that
helps you.

Speaker 11 (49:21):
I understand, and I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
Yeah, man, are you going to actually follow through and
do it?

Speaker 6 (49:27):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (49:27):
I hope you do. And I want to hear my
little love from you.

Speaker 6 (49:32):
I will.

Speaker 11 (49:32):
I'm laid up with an ankle right now, but.

Speaker 13 (49:34):
That's all right.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
And Richard, the other thing is, I know Kelly tried
to get the phone number. I would have loved the
number of this kid or whoever the manager is now,
and we wouldn't mind. I'd put a deputy on it.
If you want to call back and give Kelly the number,
and you know, give the name, number, give all of
it and maybe we can reach out and handle it
in a more diplomatic way than you have the to

(49:55):
go to county court. Hey, Brad, real quick. I do
appreciate everything you do for the show. And I had
a couple of landlords reach out to me and they said,
does it really matter if some of the new rules
are not in a lease in Colorado? In other words,
one of the rules I know this just from you,
that you can only increase rent by a certain amount

(50:17):
once a year whatever ten percent, or only once a year,
whatever the timeframe is. And then there's other rules like
only under certain conditions can you not renew a lease?
If someone has an old lease that doesn't have that
kind of language in it, does that make that lease
totally invalid? I mean, does could that make a problem arise?

Speaker 15 (50:40):
Well, any portion of the lease that no longer complies
with the recent changes is no longer enforceable. But there's
a couple of things that I think it's still in
the In the least, a tenant could go to court
and require the landlord to update the lease form and
then they could get their attorney fees.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
So landlords out there in Colorado, you got to be proactive.
If you haven't had that lease looked at. I'm telling you,
call a brad. This guy can help you out big time.
I think you're absolutely nuts not to get it up.
Some of the pet deposit stuff. You might have taken
a pet deposit and you're getting ready to take it
again and you didn't. You're not even supposed to. I mean,
there's different things out there. That are nuts and you

(51:20):
better have a good lease. I mean, the last thing
you want is someone not paying you. Then they get
to stay in your place because your lease sucks. Get
Brad a call seven two zero three seven zero seven

(51:41):
You're next with that T mobile. I am gonna have
two lines open three to zho three Martino.

Speaker 10 (51:52):
of insurance companies find out now three oh three seven

(52:13):

Speaker 3 (52:27):
five five three oh three Martino, We've got a lot
of cooking. By the way, I got two lines open,
three oh three, seven, one, three eight, two, five to five.
I found that fascinating. Guys talk about a phone call
going a different direction. That's what I love about this show.

(52:47):
We get one of our experts on. I kind of
jokingly brought up adverse possession. And when I say jokingly,
I mean I've dealt with adverse possession and it's very expensive.
There's different things you have to to prove. In fact,
the statutes have changed pretty dramatically in the last ten

(53:08):
years as well, at least in Colorado. But when I
brought it up, I guess I wasn't say jokingly. I
was throwing something out there, But I never would have
thought of the partial eviction. It is kind of strange
thinking he was allowed to do something for twenty years
and Brad's like, here's what I do and it's not
going to really cost him anything. And I hope that
helps him out and I hope it helps out other people.

(53:31):
What do you think of that call to demarche. I
don't see how that's going to help him at all.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
In fact, I think that's going to be a really
self destructive thing.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
I disagree. I know where you're going, because now you're
he's going to be afraid to get kicked out. Well,
it sounds like he is going to get kicked out
if he's paying your question, if he's paying on time.
It is so hard to kick somebody out of a
trailer park.

Speaker 4 (53:50):
Now, no, I agree, but they're they're laying the groundwork
for it because the caller of Richard no offense to him,
but he sounds like a tremendously difficult.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
Person to work, saying he's a pain in the ass.
He's a pain in the ass when they asked him
to move the truck, when the neighbor asked because they
were trying, or even the landlord whoever was asked for
him to move his truck because they're getting a new
unit in there, yeah, or a trailer or whatever he
was doing, and he said on my time, yeah, he
was asking for trouble. Yeah. The correct answer would have been, hey, man,
I'm really busy today and.

Speaker 4 (54:18):
Tomorrow with work. Can you wait until Thursday. I don't
sat over on Thursday.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
I don't think it is I don't think it's right
that he's been parking there for twenty years. The parents,
I don't know if they're alive or not, but they're
not managing the park anymore, have nothing to do with it.
But for twenty years there was no problem him parking
that truck. Then he gets into an argument, stupid argument

(54:45):
and is an ass most likely I don't know, in
seed with the neighbor, and all of a sudden you
can't park there anymore. You know what, I might find
him old crotchety. He's the kind of guy telling the
kids to get off the lawn. But at the same time,
I don't think it's right at all. And I actually
hope he does go to county court, and I hope
it does work out if he's paying on time. I

(55:07):
don't think he's going to get kicked out, though, Mark,
you were going to say something.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Well again, I mean I know you said, oh, you
can move the truck in two or three days.

Speaker 3 (55:14):
It takes two.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
Minutes to go move your damn truck.

Speaker 3 (55:15):
Yeah, it's a painiac.

Speaker 6 (55:17):
Go move.

Speaker 3 (55:17):
I'll give you an.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
Idea, be a neighbors. This world's too much. Oh, it's
slight time.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
It happens to us.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
It'll be a nice person.

Speaker 3 (55:25):
It happens to us. Susanna and I at RV parks
a lot. We're forty five feet long, there's nothing longer.
I'm as long as you can get in our bus
and we'll go in, and there's always room to maneuver
the bus. But the problem is sometimes people will park
behind their unit with their truck and there's no way
I can back in if it's not a pull through
without moving, and not once if I ever ask somebody

(55:48):
to move their truck, they don't do it instantly. You've
got to be a real piece of crap not to
help someone out that's just been driving for X amount
of hours and gets to the park. I think you
just made my point for me.

Speaker 5 (56:01):
Mark.

Speaker 3 (56:02):
Well, okay, he's a pain in the ass, but you
don't punish a guy by telling him he can no
longer park there.

Speaker 4 (56:07):
Well, that's not the only issue, the guy said. The
caller said, he said several different run ins with the
neighbor and the landlord, and he took him to court
and all this.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
I'm going to put a nobody wants him around him.
I'm going to put a poll up on our YouTube.
I don't know how I'm going to phrase it, but
i want everybody's opinion on this guy that just called.
I'm not saying he's not a pain in the ass.
I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to actually
ask the question on the poll.

Speaker 4 (56:34):
It sounds like a good question him depends how I
ask it. Do you want him for a tenant? Well,
no neighbor.

Speaker 3 (56:41):
No one watched him for a neighbor a tenant. I don't,
but I think it's more or less. Is it fair?
He got punished by not being allowed to park there
for over and he has been for twenty years. All right,
you guys over that's what we're doing. They're punishing him.

Speaker 4 (56:55):
Well, they want to get rid It's not punishment. They
just want to get rid of him.

Speaker 6 (56:59):
Now.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
They just month book?

Speaker 13 (57:00):
Did it?

Speaker 3 (57:01):
Dmitri? Up until up until and by the way, Louder
is writer and I'm loud, do they get louder listen?
They didn't up until he had a feud with his neighbor.
I realized the guys are paying the ass. But I'm
saying that doesn't make the punishment fit the particular crime.

Speaker 4 (57:20):
But but hold the punishment. It's not punishment. It's cleaning
up your portfolio of business.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
Yeah, but they built it. They almost impossible to get
rid of the guy, though, Oh it is. He's on
a month to month lease. It does just I am
telling you. With mobile homes and lots now, it is
so hard to get rid of somebody, it's crazy, man.
Unless if it's non payment, it's very hard. And they
did that on purpose because what the parks used to
be able to do is say, hey, that's a nineteen

(57:47):
sixty eight trailer. We only allowed trailers that are forty
years old, not forty one. So we're getting rid of you,
and they'd be forced and you can't move a nineteen
sixty nine trailer. First of all, they live in a
nineteen sixty nine trailer, they have twelve dollars, they can't
move it. So what happens is basically now they have
nothing the trailer, the home they have is one hundred

(58:08):
percent worth nothing. They can't move it, and they got
to leave. So they changed a lot of rules, and
some of them are good because under something like that,
if they are paying, I don't think they should be evicted.
I mean I really don't. But anyhow, I'd love to
hear your comments. And I promise, soon as we get
back from this, we're going to go right back to
the phones we've got Keith. I promise You're next with

(58:30):
t Mobile, and then Todd's got a problem with a
roofing company. Two lines open. I'd love to hear your opinion.
By the way, go to YouTube dot com. Type in
Troubleshooter Network. You'll see the live show and vote on
the poll.

Speaker 10 (58:48):
of insurance companies find out now three oh three seven

(59:09):

Speaker 3 (59:23):
five five I'm putting up that poll right now. You
know it's so funny how wrong Dimitri can be. I'm
just saying, I mean, I just I want to know.
Here's how I here's how I phrase the poll. Do
you think it's fair that Richard can't park there anymore?
How's that yeah, I think that overlooks the Really, the

(59:44):
primary is. I know he's a horrible neighbor, he's a
horrible tenant, but that has nothing to do with it.
I think that's everything to do with it. The Mark,
what do you think? Okay, you've heard us both talk.
How should I put the poll?

Speaker 1 (59:56):
Okay? I think he should still get to park there?
But he is he does not seem nice man.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
Okay, fair enough, fair enough. So in other words, Mark
at grease with me. I'm just saying, I mean, that's
what I heard. I didn't hear anything. I hope his
landlord calls in with his side of the stone.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
That love.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
Well, But for twenty years, how many?

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
How many stories are there about Richard?

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
The landlord could tell and the neighbor could tell. We
could stay busy for the rest of the month. Come on,
you guys heard tell a daily Richard's story. Hey, Keith,
what's going on with you?

Speaker 12 (01:00:32):
Hi?

Speaker 16 (01:00:33):
Mark? So I have a T mobile phone service, and
in August of twenty four I ordered their wireless internet.

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
Oh I had that for a minute. Yeah, okay, that
little box.

Speaker 16 (01:00:45):
Yeah it didn't work. Worth the crowd.

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
It didn't work. Yeah, it didn't work. At my house
at all. It worked like two megabyte downloads. I know
what you're talking about. So you oh, let me guess.
In fact, hold on, let me guess. They say you
never returned it and they're still charging you.

Speaker 16 (01:01:01):
No, sir, I actually had it once and then it
didn't work, so I sent it back and then a
salesperson called me and asked me to try it again,
and they sent me. They were supposed to send me
a router, you know, the modem router and one of
those little tracker tiles. Was all part of the deal.
I never received the equipment, okay, but they are still

(01:01:24):
charging me for eight months now, and I called them
five times. No one over there can get me someone
who speaks English.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
Okay, all. I hate to pick on you here, but
that's pretty much exactly what I said. They're still charging you.
And I guess I was wrong here. You never received
the equipment to send back, right, correct? And you know
these these jerks, and I'll say it, these jerks. I

(01:01:51):
ended up suing them years ago, years ago, same company.
That was the only way I could get their attention.
They claimed I didn't send something back. This has nothing
to do with the thing you're talking about now. That
Wi Fi box or the four G or five G

(01:02:12):
box has nothing to do with that thing. They claimed,
they didn't get equipment back. They wouldn't answer anything. When
I finally would be on the phone for an hour
and finally someone would say, Oh, you're right, we're gonna
go ahead and give you the credit. Blah blah blah,
nothing nothing. They simply wouldn't do anything. I ended up
taking them to small Claims court and I filed the suit.

(01:02:34):
I served them down wherever their rep was, and sure enough,
I get a phone call about five days later and
I get a full credit for the amount. But it
took me suing them just to get a response on
something I was right. I had the UPS tracking number.
I even had the tracking where they signed for it,

(01:02:55):
wherever I sent it to, and it was the right address.
I had everything in the These asses wouldn't do anything.
But that's what companies do nowadays. So here's the deal,
Keith one, Kelly, do we have an Angel over there
at T Mobile? I know we have an AT and
T one. I know we have a Century one. I
know we have a Comcast one. Do we have one

(01:03:15):
at T Mobile? Or is that a Suzanne question. Zone
would know much better than I was. Suzanne. If we
have one, please let me know, just text me so one.
If we have an angel, Keith, I'm sure they'll get
it taken care of. But if we don't have an
angel over there, I think you're going to have to
do what I do, which is take them the small
claims court. Did you stop your credit cards so they

(01:03:37):
don't charge anymore?

Speaker 6 (01:03:40):
No?

Speaker 16 (01:03:41):
The problem that I have is that they did. After
the fifth phone call, I finally got a credit. But
the problem is is that they're still charging me one
hundred and fifteen dollars a month when my bill is
supposed to be fifty six. So what they're doing is
they're taking there and they're applying it as one hundred

(01:04:02):
and fifteen dollars a month. And I'm like, I'm going
to run out of credit in two months, and now
you've got two months more than.

Speaker 7 (01:04:07):
You owe me.

Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
Well are they?

Speaker 16 (01:04:09):
Why can't you get it? They can't get the billy right.

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
It's absolutely insane. It's insane. I mean, it's not just
the unbelievable. No, Susan, I know it's Susan. Just let
me know, let me let me read it real quick.
I can't think of a T Mobile angel. It sucks.

Speaker 4 (01:04:26):
Well, while Mark is reading that, Keith, can you just
go to a different carrier and you know, kind of
end this saga before it gets any worse.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Well, he might own money on the phone.

Speaker 16 (01:04:37):
That's what I was hoping to do. But then I'm
going I'm going to end up owning some money and
I'm not going to pay them anymore than I than
I can't. I just want to solve this and then
move to a new carrier.

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
It sucks, man, Look who wants take a stab attus?
Anybody want to reach out on this one. We don't
have an angel there, but I guarantee there's a media presence. Yeah,
I'll be happy to help out. Okay, here, here's the
best way for these big company. He's you gotta find
the media. Yeah, that's that's my typical go to. I
always start with that, find the PR people and then

(01:05:08):
reach out to him. I mean, you get the idea.
So Keith Dmitri's gonna get your information, Kelly, get all
the information there and we're going to dive into it.
Hopefully we can help you out. But in the meantime,
I'll be honest, Keith, I dealt with exactly what you
are dealing with, and they figured it out when I
sued him. We never had to go to court. They

(01:05:29):
just fixed it. I mean, they finally fixed the whole
billing thing. They refunded, They did everything they were supposed
to do, but it took me holding their hand to
the courthouse doors.

I'm gonna get over to Todd. Todd, what is going on?
Let's at least start with your problem with the roofing company.

Speaker 7 (01:06:34):
Hello, can you hear me?

Speaker 6 (01:06:35):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:06:35):
I can hear you, great Todd, all right, perfect.

Speaker 7 (01:06:40):
So you want the long version or the quick recap
and ask questions?

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
No, okay, give me start the long version, but start
off where we're at right now. Is the roof done?

Speaker 7 (01:06:53):
It wasn't a problem with the rough per se. Was
a problem with the the way the cap was installed
on the You know, they replaced the caps on all
the vents and stuff with hail damage, and did they.

Speaker 3 (01:07:10):
Replace so they didn't do a roof fence. They did cap.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
Caps.

Speaker 3 (01:07:17):
Yeah, yeah, they did.

Speaker 7 (01:07:18):
They did the roof. But they installed the vent cap
on the furnace and it include water heater. They replace that.
And when they installed it, they put it's a sliding
type deal. You you position it and then screw it
into place. And they put it on so far down,

(01:07:40):
literally as far down as it could be pushed on
the top of the cap to where its sealed off.
The vent on under sealed it off.

Speaker 3 (01:07:47):
Carbon dioxide in the house.

Speaker 7 (01:07:49):
And yeah, carbon monoxide in the house.

Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
Oh my god, how did you find this out? I mean,
did your detectors go off or what?

Speaker 7 (01:08:00):
No, don't have detectors if apparently the battery was dead.

Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
So lucky.

Speaker 7 (01:08:06):
Well, my wife had a heart attack, unexplained heart attack
in January.

Speaker 3 (01:08:10):
How do you know there's carbon monoxide right now or
there was? I assume you mitigated it somehow.

Speaker 14 (01:08:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:08:17):
I don't know that there's carbon there ever was carbon monoxide,
but I'm assuming there was carbon monoxide. But I knew
there was a problem when I at the beginning of
the winter, because I did my yearly tear down of
the furnace. I knew I especially had to do it
this year because a lot of debris came down. In fact,

(01:08:39):
a big chunk of gooey stuff came down through that
flu and I can't see it in the furnace.

Speaker 3 (01:08:45):
So Todd, hold on one second, So Mark, Mark Shamanski,
you guys do a lot of roofs genesis total exterior,
So I'm picturing like almost like an exhaust pipe coming
out of the house. Then on top of it, you
generally have some kindkind of cover so when it rains,
you don't have rain going directly down. And then what's

(01:09:05):
he talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
This cover? Then there's openings all around it, little vent
holes to allow the air to escape, so it's not
being trapped into the cavity of the furnace.

Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
I got you, and if you put it down. He's saying,
it was so far down that literally.

Speaker 1 (01:09:20):
The airs, all the vents are actually on a solid
pipe that's coming out of the roof.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
So what if we don't know about the carbon monoxide? Todd?
What problems did you literally have.

Speaker 7 (01:09:32):
It's the first time I lit it up. After I
cleaned it and cleaned it all out, it smelled and
I thought, well, I might need to burn off.

Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
And when was this, Todd? When did you clean it?
When was this?

Speaker 7 (01:09:46):
That was last fall?

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
And when did the roof get finished?

Speaker 7 (01:09:51):
It was done a year ago in spring.

Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
So how about when you use the furnace in between
those two dates.

Speaker 7 (01:10:00):
I didn't use it between last spring and the beginning
of fall. I was actually shut off.

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
So it was the first time you really used the
furnace after the roof was done.

Speaker 14 (01:10:10):
Yeah, all right, hold on.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
Hold on, I got it. I promise you're up next.

Because I would guess people aren't thinking of decks right now,
but in about three weeks when we have eighty degree
days strung together, everybody's going to be thinking of.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
Decks and the nice thing you could be build decks
year round and right now is a great time getting
the list for building a deck or rebuilding a deck.

Speaker 3 (01:12:56):
You've got a great crew decks we have.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
We have phenomenal crew.

Speaker 3 (01:12:59):
Deck patios, like cement, the whole bit.

Speaker 1 (01:13:01):
Yeah, we do a cement, We do the pavers, we
do landscapes, stoning, we do every of that.

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
About if someone wants to come out, like let's say
they're decking is good, but the railing has rotted over time.
Let's say I don't even mean the decking. Let's say
the the two by eights underneath are good and they're
weathered well and everything's fine there, but they want new decking.
Can you come out and use their existing you can?

Speaker 1 (01:13:25):
I mean, it just depends how old it is, because
if it's worth it, or if it's worth it, because
also you're gonna save several hundred dollars that's going that's
going to get rotten when you have a deck on top.
Now it's gonna last a lifetime.

Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
Would you ever deal do real wood out in Colorado? Now?

Speaker 5 (01:13:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
No, there's still a value role because it never gets
as hot as a man made stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
The redwood is gorgeous. Redwood is gorgeous. Yeah it's but
you're right, actually, because we have the man made stuff
and it gets hot as hell. Actually, Oh, fibro on tracks,
they all get hot. There's some of them.

Speaker 1 (01:13:57):
Come out with some technologies, some cooling ways.

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
They last for a long time. Oh, they can last
a left time.

Speaker 1 (01:14:02):
And you can put a deck on that you'll never
ever replace, you can, Yeah, you can use aluminum aluminum studs.

Speaker 3 (01:14:08):
If someone wanted to add to a deck, can you
do that, of course, And build a gazebo.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
And build a gazebo, Trellis's you know, yeah, any of
that kind of stuff we do.

Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
I love that man, you know. Adding a hot tub,
I was thinking of my dad's. He wanted to get
a hot tub, so I was thinking of buying him
my mama hot tub. But first of all, they don't
have enough breakers to actually run a fifty amp out
to it. But then I started looking at their patio.
My god, it's like one inch thick. I mean, unless

(01:14:38):
if it was a really tiny hot tub, I don't
even think he could put it on. I think the
damn thing would crack.

Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
Thick what concrete or what? Yeah, oh yeah, that would
probably crack on you.

Speaker 3 (01:14:46):
I think it would.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
I mean, yeah, you can always put papers on top
and do that. That'll kind of help spread the weight
out you think.

Speaker 3 (01:14:54):
Yeah maybe. Yeah, but that electrical issue you guys been doing, you.

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
Know, electrical issues. You can't you add us up panel?

Speaker 3 (01:15:01):
Yeah you probably could. Remember I'm paying for this, so no, Yeah,
I think it's a good idea. Yeah, thanks Mary. Where
is the love? Where is the love? Yeah, it's everywhere,
trust me, and my wallet feels you constantly. Let me
ask you another question. Garages, So can you do you
do steel buildings at all? Let's say someone's out in
the country and they want to add in r V

(01:15:21):
garage like I did. I tell you, there's ones like yours.
There's companies. They have these systems, but together they're ready
to go. They're ready to go. I think that's just
a better, you know, than all, say, if they wanted
to build.

Speaker 1 (01:15:30):
A stick Yeah, we could do a stick one. Have
you done a lot of We've done some. I'd rather remodel, yeah,
so can we do it?

Speaker 6 (01:15:39):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:15:40):
Nice? So I liked it so pretty much anything, but
this time of year, you can do decks, you can
do stucco. I guess if it's nice now, you could
even paint. No, no, we've been painting.

Speaker 1 (01:15:50):
No, I mean because we what a week ago we had,
you know, seventy three weather.

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
I'm telling you that paint you used on our house.
It looks you're going to be out this week till
look at our some of our projects inside for us.
But when you look at that paint, man, it looks
like the day you guys put it on on the
exterior of our house. And if I get anything on it,
you just hit it with the hose. It looks brand
new again. Yeah, I mean it's really remarkable. Do you
remember what kind of paint you.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
Yes, it's Benjamin Moore. I don't remember, like the top grade. Yeah,
one of the hiring grades. Yes, probably was probably probably
Ben Benjamin or Ben as well.

Speaker 3 (01:16:22):
So they're pretty I mean, paint's pretty expensive for good stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
Now, yeah, but it's you know, it's labor's more expensive.
So it's always better to pay more for a better paint.
You want to prep right, yes, prep, but also it's
just gonna last longer. Also, you get next to three
or four years out of paint job. How much? How
many thousands of dollars you just saved a ton right as
oppose to paint the extra five six hundred bucks for
an extra you know better.

Speaker 3 (01:16:44):
You're going to be looking You're going to bring that
design lady out and you're going to be looking at
We're painting our entire basically first and second floor with
you guys. Soon, I mean real soon. We're getting the
hardwood floors done by Big Bear. They're going to sand
it down. When all that's done and you guys come out,
what do we do? Something like, do you do achine?
Do you do a Matt finish?

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
I mean, okasically so yeah, no, Typically you do eggshell walls,
flat ceilings, sat and trim. That's been the tradition. But
you know, flat walls are becoming really really popular now
because people don't like the shine of the eggshell and
so it's real popular. Two sat, flat ceilings, flat walls,
and you still say it with it like a satin.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
I love on cars. I love a Matt finish. Yeah,
I think it's the coolest thing. One of our cars
has got that Matt gray right from the factory. It's
simply gorgeous.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
My Indian motorcycle has the matt But the thing is
that one little.

Speaker 3 (01:17:36):
Scratch there's no way to fix it. Yeah, I notice
that you can't buffet out. You can't. Here's the other marks.
You can't go to certain car washes. The only car
wash I'll go through an automatic one instead of having
like the little kind of I don't want to call
them wires, but the bristles. There's no bristles. You got
to get ones that use basically foam. Yeah, that's it,

(01:17:57):
because it will void any part of my paint job.
They made sure I knew that when I left the
damn dealerships got a hand wash it mark. Yeah, three
three seven, one, three eight, two five five. Let me
see who's been holding the longest.

Speaker 13 (01:18:10):
Todd.

Speaker 3 (01:18:10):
He was telling us about that problem with the roofing company, Todd.
So where we left off was the roofers did it.
They set the vet, the vent caps failed. I mean
basically they failed, not the caps but the vent itself.
And you possibly had carbon monoxide in there. But you
went to clean your furnace and turned it on for
the first time after the roof was done, and what happened.

(01:18:33):
The furnace just wasn't working.

Speaker 7 (01:18:37):
It had debris from the roofing, so yeah, I cleaned
it out real good. In fact, I cleaned it out
a second time because when I fired it up, it's
stunk real bad and then it burned off, so I
figured it was okay. But then the next time I
went to you that when it got cold, it's stunk
real bad. So I thought, well, maybe I missed something

(01:18:57):
because you know, with all the pounding and sure soh
So I cleaned a second time, and then it was
a while again before I got cold again. But I
started noticing every time it would fire up, it would
smell for a little while and then burn off.

Speaker 11 (01:19:15):
And then I.

Speaker 7 (01:19:16):
Noticed that it was uh, water was dripping down.

Speaker 3 (01:19:19):
Oh, and I thought, well, and that's where this vegcart
issue came.

Speaker 7 (01:19:26):
Uh yeah, yeah uh And I thought, well, you know,
maybe it's condensation because uh uh I.

Speaker 3 (01:19:34):
So, but move move a little further into the story.
So you never really got the furnace to work properly afterwards.
And by the way, if if anybody out there has
ever had a roof done, and mark you do roofs
all the time your company does. It's crazy, man. I
have seen light fixtures pop out. I mean, when you're
up there doing any kind of decking or even just
putting the shingles down or getting rid of the old one,

(01:19:57):
all kinds of stuff can go wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:19:59):
Dust in your house and you can get nail pops
in your ceilings. I mean, there's it's not that the
roofer's fault. Typically, it's just what happens is just what happens,
how your house is.

Speaker 3 (01:20:07):
So what happened at this point, Todd? Did you reach
out to the roofer? I mean, what happened.

Speaker 7 (01:20:13):
Because because of it? Because it was dripping water, I thought,
and it would burn off every time it would light up,
and it was you know, I'd kind of forget.

Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
About it when it would get move on. What happened It.

Speaker 7 (01:20:26):
Was connosating, dripping down and stirring up basically the soot
in there, and then it would burn off and that
wouldn't smell, so I thought, well, it probably needs to
be clean.

Speaker 3 (01:20:38):
So what the hell do you mean by well, what
you mean the sitting there? What is it a pot
belly furnace?

Speaker 7 (01:20:46):
No, but you know, I figured it's.

Speaker 3 (01:20:50):
It.

Speaker 7 (01:20:50):
Actually you can see a kind of a scaly crust when.

Speaker 3 (01:20:54):
The water would drive a furnace.

Speaker 7 (01:20:58):
Uh, it came with the house as far are there
thirty years old?

Speaker 3 (01:21:01):
Okay, so keep so keep going. Where does this go
from there?

Speaker 12 (01:21:05):
So?

Speaker 7 (01:21:05):
I thought it was just commensating and gripping down dirt
and suck. I finally quit using it though, because I
thought this is ridiculous. Something's got to be cogged up
in there.

Speaker 3 (01:21:16):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:21:16):
We were heating at the house the last the last
very last cold cold spell with with electric heater.

Speaker 3 (01:21:23):
Okay, so then what happens though? Where do we go on?

Speaker 7 (01:21:26):
I got up I couldn't get the vents off down
below without ruining them, so I thought I'd go up
top and and see if I could find something in it.

Speaker 3 (01:21:34):
And then that's where you found out they didn't do
the proper thing on the vents on the roof.

Speaker 7 (01:21:40):
Yeah, I looked up in there first between the the
what do you call.

Speaker 3 (01:21:44):
The vent there was basically no ventilation on the vents, right,
absolutely not. So then what did you do? Did you
call the roofer at that point? What did you do?

Speaker 6 (01:21:53):
Then?

Speaker 3 (01:21:54):
I'm just going to keep you focused.

Speaker 4 (01:21:55):
Now.

Speaker 7 (01:21:57):
I fixed it and it worked perfectly, So it's fixed.
Now you're bothering anybody? Excellent, And I no smell, no nothing,
no back back up. Everything's working finely.

Speaker 6 (01:22:10):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:22:10):
Well where are we at now?

Speaker 7 (01:22:12):
Though I don't know that's what I'm asking. I'm going
to ask you, and what do you think I should
do about it?

Speaker 3 (01:22:18):
I thought, I, well know, everything's fine now, right? You
fixed it?

Speaker 17 (01:22:22):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:22:23):
This has got to be the craziest call I've taken today. Todd,
you've fixed it? What what? Let me ask you this,
What if I could wave a magic wand what would
I do? It's fixed?

Speaker 7 (01:22:35):
Well, in January, before it was fixed, my wife had
an unexplained heart attack.

Speaker 3 (01:22:40):
So you think it's possible there was carbon monoxide that
gave your wife a heart attack? By the way, how
is she?

Speaker 7 (01:22:47):
At first? I didn't think of it. Well, she's she's
a she's back to normal. I didn't think at first,
said that's happening to do Todd.

Speaker 3 (01:22:57):
I don't think there's a way in the world, now
that you fixed it, to go back in time and
see if there was not just if there was any
carbon monoxide in the house because of that problem, not
your thirty year old furnace. Let's not forget that. I
don't think there's any way to do that. But even
to go the next step and tie that to your

(01:23:18):
wife's heart attack would be very hard to do. I mean,
I don't know how you would possibly do that.

Speaker 7 (01:23:26):
That's what I figured, because they don't I checked it out,
and because at first I thought, well, she's on oxygen,
so she wouldn't be affected.

Speaker 3 (01:23:33):
Well apparently, when you're even you still have cat that
wouldn't matter. If there's carbon monoxide in your house and
you're on oxygen, you're still going to get carbon monoxide exactly.

Speaker 7 (01:23:45):
But they don't. They wouldn't do it test before it
because they were looking because she's They went in and
looked for blockage and there was none because she's had
a history of heart attacks.

Speaker 3 (01:23:54):
Yeah, well, then that even brings up another thing when
you're talking about a med male because she's got a
history of it. I mean, now you've got that to
get over. I don't see anything there. I feel really
bad for the entire situation, but I don't see anything
going forward for you. I mean, you might call and
talk to like Marco Bendinelli or an attorney, but I

(01:24:15):
don't even think you should waste your time. I have
no idea now that the issue's not there, how you
would do it, and once again you got a thirty
year old furnace. If there was carbon monoxide, it might
have had nothing to do with the roofed. Mark Todd
should still yeah, go ahead, go ahead, hold on, bo
was in this industry forever, Go ahead, both, Todd.

Speaker 17 (01:24:35):
Since you had this issue of incomplete combustion in your
vent pipe that's where you got the condensation even though
you fixed it, you need to call one of our
HVAC companies and get the whole unit and vent pipe
checked out, just to make sure it is operating.

Speaker 3 (01:24:52):
That's not a bad idea at all.

Speaker 7 (01:24:53):
Men, Yeah, that's a probably, a probably.

Speaker 3 (01:24:58):

Speaker 3 (01:25:40):
Man eight eight eight heating dot com Todd. I got
to move on. That was kind of crazy. He fixed
his problem. I understand where he tied it in. Now
really quick, Mark, you were telling us during a break
you guys had on a Christmas Christmas eve. Yeah, we
had carmenox ine poisoning and you all woke up. It
was you, your wife.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
Yeah, my sister was you know, my parents, my sister
and her family and my wife and our warden's son,
and she was pregnant with our second son. And your
aunt called our aunt Colin just happened to wake us up.
If she hadn't a called, no, it's actually my mother
in law. But she hadn't called and woke us up,
I wouldn't be here today.

Speaker 3 (01:26:14):
So you're talking when everybody got up because of the
phone call, you start waking people up. You said, everybody's
got a headache, they feel sick as hell.

Speaker 1 (01:26:21):
Then my aunt called and she said, get the heck
out of the house because there's carbonoxide in it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:25):
And sure enough, Yeah, the firemen show up. They test
the air. It was really really high. So you literally
you almost died. Well, hell, your whole family for that matter.
Terrifying stuff. Do not play around, Todd.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
Get detectors and have them in the furnace room. Get them,
Get them in the furnace.

Speaker 3 (01:26:40):
Room, Todd, for the life of me after that, thinking
about that heart attacks, it wor scenario. Get your aunts
out the Walmart. You can buy the plug in ones
that worked just fine, but get a few of them.
And like Mark said during break, you know, the ones
built into the ceiling are great, but carbon monoxide sinks,
so you want to sit down below. And I love
your idea. Do you put one in the damn furnace room, right,

(01:27:01):
because that's where that's where it's gonna start. Yeah, we
got one adjacent to it, but I don't think I
have one literally in there, but it's on the same wall, right,
all right, listen, Walt in Ernie three oh three seven,

I mean really that said, Hey Walt, what is going
on with you? Walton?

Speaker 9 (01:28:17):
Well, hi, Mark, I've got a unique situation and I'll
summarize it in thirty seconds. In nineteen sixty, our development
started where the houses were being built. It's not an hoa,
but in nineteen eighty sixty association was format it formed?

Speaker 3 (01:28:35):
Who formed it?

Speaker 9 (01:28:36):
And acknowledged. What's that?

Speaker 3 (01:28:38):
Who formed it? Everybody that lived there?

Speaker 9 (01:28:42):
Correct?

Speaker 3 (01:28:42):
Okay, keep going.

Speaker 9 (01:28:44):
And so every property out here has an easement and
we're in the county about I guess it was last year.
The person died who started the the development, the associate,
everything like that.

Speaker 3 (01:29:01):
Well, hold on, hold on, you just said too. Hold on,
you just said two things. In nineteen sixty the development
was created. How many years later was that hoa voted
on and put into place?

Speaker 9 (01:29:13):
Twenty six years?

Speaker 3 (01:29:14):
Okay? So but the sentence you just said was the
guy that developed it and started the hoa? Are they
the same person?

Speaker 9 (01:29:23):
No, it's not an Hoaay, so.

Speaker 3 (01:29:24):
Who died the guy that did the HOA or the
guy that did the development.

Speaker 9 (01:29:30):
The guy lived in the development area and he owned
most of the properties.

Speaker 3 (01:29:37):
Yeah, But is he the one that did the HOA
or the development or neither?

Speaker 9 (01:29:44):
Neither?

Speaker 3 (01:29:44):
Okay either? So what does he have to Who cares
if he died? And I don't mean that in a
bad way. I'm just saying, who cares? What's the relevancy?

Speaker 9 (01:29:53):
When he died? He willed a half mile strip, which
was one he found. That's a half mile, just a
little thin strip, and it's probably the total of an
acre and a half that now is the road that
goes in and real estate developed, I mean a real
estate agent found that was willed to our association. And

(01:30:19):
now we're liable for any accidents or anything in it,
and we have a maintenance and we charge a road dues. Now,
but we had to get an assurance policy to cover
any accidents or any liability so that they don't sue us.

Speaker 3 (01:30:39):
Well, okay, hold on, let me ask a couple questions. Now,
how long is that? Is it miles long? I understand
it's only an acre or whatever, but how long?

Speaker 9 (01:30:50):
Just over a half a mile?

Speaker 3 (01:30:51):
So a half a mile long? And everybody in the
neighborhood basically has to use this. It's the only it's
the only way in and way out. Correct. So it
really is a road that needs to be maintained. So
I understand the maintenance part. I guess I don't understand.
I don't understand the liability insurance on a private road.

(01:31:14):
That's interesting. And when you say they're making you get it,
who's making you get it to county?

Speaker 9 (01:31:22):
No, When we talked to the real estate agent, she
said every part of that half mile is willed to
the road Association, and that we are liable now for
that one half mile section. If anybody has an accident,
they can sue the association for I'm trying.

Speaker 3 (01:31:47):
To figure out, like what kind of accident I mean, like,
is the road right accident? Is it like right next
to it a big gully, like you could fall off
the road and die. It's an unsafe road.

Speaker 9 (01:31:59):
No, there's probably two or three curves on it that
are blind curves. And if anybody came around and had
an accident, it would be on this property that was
willed to the association.

Speaker 3 (01:32:11):
I get it. So that was willed to the association.
And then who is telling you on the insurance side.
And I'm not saying it's right or wrong. We're going
to figure it out, but who's telling you that? And
by the way, how much is this a year?

Speaker 9 (01:32:25):
Four thousand dollars?

Speaker 3 (01:32:27):
So four thousand a year for basically liability coverage on
a one mile road that's owned by the association or
not even the association. Well, it's owned by the road itself.
It's owned by the members.

Speaker 9 (01:32:41):
Correct, but the association is the membership.

Speaker 3 (01:32:44):
I got you. Hold on, let's get Brad O'Brien back on.
I just never thought of this a private road. I'm
dying to fight. That's why I love this show. Think
about this, guys. If you none of us have probably
dealt with this now. Unfortunately Tom's not in today. He
probably He's done so many roads and neighborhoods. But I've
never heard of insurance on a road before. I'm not

(01:33:07):
saying it doesn't have to be done or shouldn't be done.

Speaker 4 (01:33:10):
Maybe be the better way. But if you, well, no,
I haven't heard about that. But you know, Waltz said
it was willed to the association. Yeah, that doesn't mean
that the association is required to accept ownership.

Speaker 3 (01:33:22):
Of this the only way in and out.

Speaker 4 (01:33:24):
Well okay, but just because those will doesn't mean that
you take ownership of it.

Speaker 3 (01:33:28):
You can continue to use this, It still doesn't matter.
There's only it's the only way in and out. Yes,
well that's what I'm saying. I mean, why would they
want a chance anything else it could happen to them.
I mean, you can't exactly landlack somebody, But if I
live there, I okay, I'll say it like this, Tomitri
if I was a mortgage broker, and found out you

(01:33:48):
were looking at borrowing money for me for a home
where some individual owned the road that was the only
way in and out. I might have a problem with that.

Speaker 4 (01:33:57):
Well, it sounds like a business opportunity for someone to
take ownership of the road and start charging tolls.

Speaker 3 (01:34:03):
At the beginning. What about giving it to the county? Well,
that's what I was saying. I mean, I don't know
if the county operated it, but they might go, hey,
we don't want to snowplow your road. Mark, I live
on a private road. Do you guys insure it.

Speaker 17 (01:34:16):
I've been there for thirty years and we never paid
a nickel and it's it's it's a dirt road.

Speaker 3 (01:34:21):
But I want to understand the insurance aspect. I'm to
pay insurance on it, all right, Everybody hold tight. We're
going to find that out. We also have a another
issue with a cell phone in a question on selling
a vehicle. One line open, three zero three, Martine, let's

Speaker 3 (01:35:44):
five five three oh three Martino, listen, Hey, Walt, Brad O'Brien.
I can't get him on right now. We're gonna get
you lined up for tomorrow because I really want to
talk to the attorney. I assume you're ain question about
the property is do we have to have this insurance policy?

(01:36:05):
But you tell me what is your question? So I
can kind of email Brad what's going on with it?

Speaker 9 (01:36:13):
Two things? Do we have to have the insurance? And
how do we get rid of it if.

Speaker 3 (01:36:18):
You don't need it? Now? Interestingly enough, Dmitri brought something
up that once again it's going to be for the attorney.
I have never been in an accident in my life
where I thought even thought to myself, who owns this
road I'm going to soothe them. I mean, think about

(01:36:41):
how crazy that is. Am I the only one that's
never thought that? Or if you've ever been in an
accident and said, damn it, I'm suing whoever owns this road.

Speaker 4 (01:36:50):
Well, I think it's something that I would certainly consider
if the road is in poor condition, if there are
blind curves.

Speaker 3 (01:36:56):
That Okay, you just described every single highway in colorad right,
every single highway bad condition, never maintained. That is everywhere
we drive in the entire state. Dmitri. Yeah, well, I'm
just waiting for that to pay off one day. But
without the governmental immunity, I am curious on this. You
brought up a great point. Let's say a plumber, Walt,

(01:37:19):
a plumber is on the way to one of your
neighbor's homes. We've already we've already figured out it's the
only way in and out, and you guys didn't plow
it properly, and all the people that own property in
there own the road. Although I would think the road
is actually more of a an LLC or a group
where the members could very well protected be protected. But

(01:37:42):
once again, this is a Bradley O'Brien question. And we're
gonna we're gonna find this out for you. But let's
just keep going down where Dmitri was. The plumber comes in,
so he's not trespassing because someone called a plumber. The
road is icy and should have been done, but because
it's not the county road, no one plowed it. And

(01:38:03):
the plumber swerves off on one of those curves you
were talking about and basically blows up and dies and
his head rolls off. I mean, we might as well
get as crazy as we can, and his family decides, okay,
we're going to go after whoever owned that road. I
mean it, as crazy as that sounds, it could very
well be the case.

Speaker 4 (01:38:24):
Well, but that brings out a room and even more interesting.
Hold on, hold on, go ahead, hold on, hold on, Dimitri.

Speaker 9 (01:38:30):
I had a friend. I had a friend who was
driving on the county road with his motorcycle, Yeah, and
came around the corner and hit a rock that was
in the road from the plowing. He crashed, Yeah, sued
the county and got a million dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:38:46):
Well, okay, I mean that's odd in itself because a
governmental immunity, But I'm if it happened, it happened. Go ahead, Dimitri, Yeah,
I think you know.

Speaker 4 (01:38:52):
The primary question that I would start with for Brad
is just because someone left in their will this road
for Walt and his neighbors, do they actually own it?
You're not required to accept something that's what for you
and a will.

Speaker 3 (01:39:05):
It's funny. I love how you think, and I love
having conversations with you. Thank you. I look at that
so differently. For this reason, the people in there have
to have this road. I wouldn't want anybody else to
own the damn road. I wouldn't want one individual to
own it. And I'm not saying they could put up
a toll booth, but they could sure make people's lives

(01:39:27):
miserable and create a court action. You can't landlock somebody
in Colorado, but you can damn will try and you
can really create a lot of issues. So if I
was in a neighborhood, I'd either want a county road
or I'd want ownership of the private road, right.

Speaker 4 (01:39:44):
And that's the second question. Once Brad says, hey, yeah,
they own the road or they're not required to own it,
then the next question is, Okay, what do we do
get this road to make sure we don't lose access
to it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:56):
Hey, Kelly, when did Brad say he can come on?
Or he just simply didn't answer.

Speaker 18 (01:40:01):
His phone is going straight to voice. Melanie hasn't texted
me that?

Speaker 3 (01:40:05):
Okay, text him, see if we can get him next hour,
get all of Walt's information. God, I love stuff like this,
I really do. I love having great attorneys, and I
love getting edgumicated.

Speaker 1 (01:40:16):
Could we give the land to Richard and he could
move his trailer there and.

Speaker 3 (01:40:20):

Speaker 6 (01:41:41):
Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 3 (01:41:42):
I didn't even know he was still alive. That's crazy. Hey,
really quick. Joe Paggs had a horrible thing. Someone tried
to uh uh swat them. That's going on a week.
It was crazy, man. I heard PAGs talking about him
and his whole family could have been I mean, it
was absolutely crazy. They had the whole swat team going

(01:42:04):
out there. Terrifying stuff. They need to do something in
Congress to where if someone gets caught swatting it can
be like attempted murder.

Speaker 18 (01:42:13):
We also had Sean Ferrish, the Trump impersonator on Rhyan's show.
He also got swatted.

Speaker 3 (01:42:21):
He got swatted as well. Yes, so true story, real quick,
Colorado Springs and folks, I'm gonna tell you this. It's
it's a very true story. You can probably still find
the news articles with it. But here's the deal. Are
you ready for this? One of the scammers, It calls
up and tries to talk you into you know, basically

(01:42:43):
buying him gift cards. This guy knew he was a
scammer and went off on The guy started calling him
all kinds of names. I mean, you can imagine the names,
not good names, and just screaming at him. But the
guy's trying to rip them off. I get it. Everybody's
sick and tired of these scam artists. And it's right
down the road in the Springs. And a day later

(01:43:05):
after he hung up, I think the guy actually called
him back a couple times too. If you can imagine,
this basically was harassing the harasser. So it's a good
way to look at it. So they spoofed his phone
number and it was a home phone. That's a good
thing about not having a home phone. You got a
cell phone. Well, I mean, you know it is what
it is. They can still spoof it. But they spoofed

(01:43:27):
his number called Colorado Springs and basically said, Hey, this
guy is beating up his girlfriend. I'm literally watching it
right now through the movie. He's got a gun and
I think he's got a knife, and he's gonna murderer
and you name it, and he plays it right. He's convincing. Apparently,
swat pulls up, kicks down the door, almost killed the guy.

(01:43:50):
The guy's just sitting in his house. There's no girl
or anybody in there. Complete bs swatting incident. Yeah, that's
what happens. People can spoof your number. I jokingly, I
have spoofed Tom a few times. I've called him like
his uh, his daughter had a little fender bender a
few times. Hey, trust me, I have a son that

(01:44:11):
the first year he had his driver's license, got in
three accidents in three months. Day the day he got
his license, he rear ended one of his best friends.
But anyhow, I digress. I spoofed because I was sitting
in here and I have this little app where you
can say what number you wanted coming from. So I

(01:44:33):
said I wanted it coming from his daughter's number, because
he was just telling me about that, and I said,
wouldn't it be funny if she got into another accident.
And there he looks at his phone and it's Dulchet calling,
and he looks at me and goes, you're not gonna
believe this. She's calling right now. Anytime she calls me
during the show, it's bad. I wonder if she got

(01:44:55):
into another accident. So there's that, Okay, listen, I promise
she's got a question on selling a vehicle, Kevin. He's
got a question about a road and the Walt issue.
What does that mean, Kelly? The Walt issue?

Speaker 18 (01:45:11):

Speaker 3 (01:47:04):
Yeah, and it's kind of cool knowing a great contractor.
Mark's done work at our house. I did want to
ask you. I haven't brought this up yet, but do
you got any specials you want to run since you're
in studio today.

Speaker 1 (01:47:16):
No, we can do the painters for the day.

Speaker 3 (01:47:18):
Again, explain what that is. It's a great deal. Listen
to this.

Speaker 1 (01:47:21):
Seeing you two guys, two painters. That's all we have
is meal painters. So right now that all guys. We've
had ladies before. But anyways, two painters for eight hours
typically nine ninety five.

Speaker 3 (01:47:33):
We'll do it for seven ninety five, So eight hundred bucks.
You get two guys for the day, eight hours. So
you can say, I want this room painted, I want
this painted, whatever you want.

Speaker 1 (01:47:42):
It works better inside the house. Somebody try to have
us paint the whole outside of his house.

Speaker 3 (01:47:45):
No, no, no, I'm talking the inside though, right, Yeah, it
works better for insight. You want a room paint it here,
you want to room paint it there, something like that. Yes,
reat that deal. Eight hundred bucks for two guys full day.

Speaker 1 (01:47:55):
Yeah, they pay for the paint.

Speaker 3 (01:47:56):
Generally is one guy. If you have two guys painting,
say your kitchen or whatever it is, do you typically
have them both prepping at the same time. Is one
guy prepping, they both start prepping, but once one area
is done, one starts painting. Somebody can start painting.

Speaker 1 (01:48:11):
The guy keeps prepping, and then then he can follow
up with taking the prep down.

Speaker 3 (01:48:14):
And these are good guys. Oh yeah, yeah, they're great guys.

Speaker 1 (01:48:17):
I mean it's Omar.

Speaker 3 (01:48:18):
I mean that's who's been going on.

Speaker 6 (01:48:19):
Guys.

Speaker 3 (01:48:20):
Yeah, it's so Mars. Who's saying at your house? This guy?
Listen to this guys. Omar painted the exterior of our
house years ago and it still looks brand new. But
he's had the same painter and in the painters guys
working for him for twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:48:33):
Years, actually twenty You never hear daddy twenty three years.

Speaker 3 (01:48:37):
Twenty three years. Jesus has been with me for twenty
Oh my goodness. So, yeah, who's your go to, uh,
like a foreman for decks because I know Deck's going
to be huge.

Speaker 1 (01:48:46):
Alex is my foreman for deck is you know, his
group is all family. It's him, his dad, his.

Speaker 3 (01:48:51):
Uncle, I love cousin.

Speaker 1 (01:48:53):
I love it they're all and you know they all
live in the same neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (01:48:56):
How does it work? So if someone wants a bit
on a deck, whether they want to get rid to
the old one, get it fixed, build a brand new one,
a patio whatever they call you guys up and I'll
give the number out of course in a second. But
do you go out and look at it? Does Alex
go out? How does the build process work?

Speaker 1 (01:49:12):
A lot of times we have Alex with us, and
so then you know it's a deck, of course, right, Yeah,
he knows.

Speaker 3 (01:49:17):
It's a deck, and or we know it's the deck,
and so Alex comes with me and then.

Speaker 1 (01:49:20):
He he'll come with the labor labor number for me,
and then I also do that, and then he gives
been materialists in my office, gets the materialists put together
and we send the bit to the customer.

Speaker 3 (01:49:30):
You know our house has it's beautiful. I absolutely love it. Mark,
So you've been out to our house. He's done work there.
But the patio that comes off the back door, right,
so not not at ground, but it's a second level
over the walk out. So it's a beautiful deck. But
it's light cement, right the builder built it, whoever the

(01:49:50):
original builder was, they did it with light cement and
it's probably this thick and it is really cool. Is
that still something people use or is decking, like, you know,
more efficient?

Speaker 1 (01:50:01):
A lot of times that you're doing that because you
want to drive below and so you know, trucks has
a great system that you can keep things drive below this.

Speaker 3 (01:50:07):
I didn't even think of that deck because are hot tub.
If we just had decking, we'd be getting dripped all
over right, right, And so there's a lot better.

Speaker 1 (01:50:13):
Well I'm not gonna say it's better, but it's a
lot of different systems that we prefer to use at work, right,
And so you know, and that wraps completely around your
jost and then we gutter the water off as supposed
to water just sit on type your deck and.

Speaker 3 (01:50:24):
Then you have to have it run off that way. Yeah,
it's really cool. Yeah, So listen to anybody out there.
Two painters for a day, what was it, eight hundred
and seven ninety five seven seven ninety five. That's two
guys all day painting whatever you point at, uh, three
oh three six seven eighty five oh nine, And I
can attest these guys do an unbelievable job at painting.
Omar is great, just great. Three oh three six seven

(01:50:46):
nine eighty five oh nine. And then if you're looking
for a deck or it maybe even stucco windows, doors,
a roof. These guys do it all Genesis tootal exteriors
dot com. I love having Mark and he always joins
in on everything. So I'm going to go to the
person that's been holding the absolute longest, which is Brenda. Brenda,
what's actually Brenda? I'm going to go to one other person.

(01:51:10):
Go ahead, what's your question? Go ahead?

Speaker 19 (01:51:13):
Well, I want to get your best guidance on how
to sell a finance vehicle to a private party because
obviously some of the selling price goes to paying the
loan off, but then you don't get the title to
give to the private party for four to six weeks
until you get.

Speaker 3 (01:51:27):
It from the finance company. I wouldn't buy it from you, okay,
but I know how I would buy it from you.
I set you up, okay. I would have a broker
do it. JFR Cars on a referral list or referral
list dot I'm just type in JFR Rod. He can
actually do all the paperwork. I don't know what he charges.

(01:51:47):
It's not that much. It might be like three hundred bucks,
but he will do the entire thing through him to
where it's not even an issue. They'll get the title,
just like if they bought any other car from them.
So basically, they will do all the payoff, they will
do everything. They're just going to do. They're going to
do everything you need done, and it's going to make

(01:52:08):
anybody feel comfortable because they're a licensed dealer and they
do it for people all the time.

Speaker 19 (01:52:14):
Okay, I'll give them a call and find out what
their procedure is.

Speaker 3 (01:52:17):
Then yeah, well I'm telling you what it is, because
they're the dealer. What happens is they basically they basically
at all at the same time they pay it off.
They guarantee those people they're going to get the title
and then give you whatever proceeds are left. The other
thing they can do you might ask them on what
kind of vehicle is it?

Speaker 19 (01:52:36):
It's a twenty twelve Toyota.

Speaker 3 (01:52:39):
Tacoma, and how much do you want for it?

Speaker 19 (01:52:43):
Honestly, my husband is doing that portional that I've just
was trying to figure out how to do the paperwork
of it, because obviously, if I'm buying something, I want
to title.

Speaker 3 (01:52:51):
You you're damn right. And that's why this that's why
JFR is exactly what you need. They're just going to
broker the deal for you, and then the other thing
they can do and this is kind of cool too,
when it comes to the selling of the vehicle and
getting the paperwork done. They can even finance it, so
if whoever wants to buy it from you doesn't have
all the cash intakes, they can actually do the financing

(01:53:13):
for the purchaser and everything else still works the same way.
You get whatever's left over. Of course, they'll do all
the payoff to your loan company or credit union or
whoever it is. The finance company. They can just do
it all. It's the easiest way to do it and
you're going to have no problem. You're not going to
get ripped off, and whoever's buying it's going to feel
extremely comfortable because they're going to be buying it from

(01:53:36):
a licensed dealer. I mean, it's just like buying it
from any dealer out there. The other thing you should
talk about is ask them. They also do consignment, so
depending on what you want to sell it for, you
might just say, hey, we want to get I'm just
going to throw a number out fifteen thousand for it,
and they might go, oh, we can probably get that

(01:53:56):
for you, so we can do that on consignment if
you want. Then you don't have to worry about anything.
So I would I would check with jf R. Call
over and ask for Rodney.

Speaker 19 (01:54:06):
Okay, I will thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:54:08):
Hey, thank you, Brenda. I appreciate it and I hope
that helped you out. Did it help you?

Speaker 7 (01:54:12):

been cleaned, they're going to tear it apart, get rid
of all that dirt. Slap a no breakdown guarantee right

(01:56:57):
on the side of that, and then you're gonna know
who to call if you ever have a problem with
your air conditioner or anything else. You's here, great people.
Eight eight eight heating dot Com. Now, Ernie had a
problem and we're going to finish up with him pretty quick.
But I've got eye Ted up, Hey, Eye Ted, How

(01:57:17):
the hell have you been, man? I have not talked
to you for a while.

Speaker 20 (01:57:20):
Yeah, it's been a while, Mark. I'm hanging in there.

Speaker 6 (01:57:23):
How about you.

Speaker 3 (01:57:23):
I'm doing really good man. I think you helped Ernie
out a long time ago. Is that true or not?

Speaker 7 (01:57:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (01:57:32):
Yeah, I went out to his house. It's been almost
two years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:57:36):
He got a new time, he got a new phone.
This is all he needs. I don't even think you
have to go out to his house. But I'm going
to bring Ernie up real quick. But Ernie, you got
a new phone and you want it. If someone calls
your new Android cell phone for it to forward to
your landline, that's all you need done.

Speaker 4 (01:57:55):
Right.

Speaker 6 (01:57:57):
Oh, it won't work and they go to all me
a new phone. But I just felt that when we
spent two hours in this place, the people activated, they
didn't know. Nobody in that place knew what they were doing.

Speaker 3 (01:58:08):
Ernie, do you have a new phone now?

Speaker 6 (01:58:11):
I got the new phone, but it's not working, okay, and.

Speaker 3 (01:58:13):
It's not working because it's not forwarding to your home phone.

Speaker 4 (01:58:17):
Right.

Speaker 6 (01:58:17):
Oh, it just doesn't work.

Speaker 3 (01:58:19):
It just doesn't work at all. I Ted, I apologize.
I put Ernie back on. I'm like so confused at
this point. I'm just I'm out of words here. So Ernie,
Ernie eye Ted just told on there, Ernie, you've got
to deal with the carrier. I would guess you've got

(01:58:41):
to go back to where is it T Mobile or
who are you dealing with?

Speaker 6 (01:58:45):
Yeah, T Mobile, they're gonna send They're gonna they said,
they're gonna send me a new phone.

Speaker 3 (01:58:50):
Okay, do you give us a call when that new
phone shows up and we can help you forward it
so we get it working. Hey, I Ted, what else
is going on?

Speaker 6 (01:58:58):
Man?

Speaker 3 (01:58:58):
Anything? I just haven't talked here for a while.

Speaker 20 (01:59:02):
A lot of things moving right now. I'm switching jobs.

Speaker 3 (01:59:05):
And where you headed to.

Speaker 20 (01:59:06):
I've got a lot of moving parts going on. Probably
gonna be over at micro Center actually, but okay, we're
gonna find out you're in short order.

Speaker 3 (01:59:13):
I'd love it. I love Microcenter. If I see you
in there, I'll make sure to give you this sticker. Brother.

Speaker 20 (01:59:19):
Well, thank you, sir.

Speaker 9 (01:59:19):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (01:59:20):
Yeah, you got it. Hey, I really appreciate eye. Ted
and you my friend. Have a good day, sir. Now
let's go to who's been waiting the longest, Jamie. What's
going on, Jamie? Hey? Jamie?

Speaker 13 (01:59:35):
Hi, hi, so Hi.

Speaker 6 (01:59:39):
I have.

Speaker 21 (01:59:41):
Credit Union problem. My daughter did a job for gentlemen
and when she was paid, they were paid certified or
cashier's check.

Speaker 9 (01:59:55):
Okay, the tech the tech was lost.

Speaker 21 (02:00:00):
So they went the customer who has the account at
the credit union went to the credit union. They called
the credit union. The credit union told them that they
needed to get a lost surety bond, and so they

(02:00:21):
did and we paid five hundred dollars for the lost
surity bond.

Speaker 3 (02:00:25):
How long do they keep it?

Speaker 21 (02:00:30):
The lost surity bond? She just got that yesterday?

Speaker 3 (02:00:34):
Okay, what I'm saying is how long does a bank
want you to keep it? For people that might not
know what that is. It's basically like an insurance policy,
because what can happen is someone else could cash that check.
There could be other issues that happened with that. In fact,
a person that actually issued to them could actually cancel it.
So everything sounds right so far. So what's the issue.

Speaker 9 (02:01:00):
So she took the.

Speaker 21 (02:01:01):
Charity bond, She took off the work today a couple hours.
They let her sit in the credit union for two
hours discussing about what they're supposed to do, and then
they told her that they don't accept shurity bond.

Speaker 3 (02:01:13):
Well, what what credit union is this? I mean, what
is this? Mon pause credit union?

Speaker 4 (02:01:17):
What is it?

Speaker 21 (02:01:18):
It's it's the Credit Union of Denver and Lakewood.

Speaker 3 (02:01:23):
I'd never even heard of it. What it doesn't even matter.
I just need to put someone on this. I mean,
there's a way to do it unless if someone else
has already cash that that this shouldn't be a big deal.
And I don't expect you to know the answer to this, Jamie,
but maybe you do. Was it drawn off the bank
itself or was it drawn off the employee the employer's account?

Speaker 21 (02:01:45):
It was drawn I would it be, I guess I
don't understand the question.

Speaker 3 (02:01:51):
So if I go, if I'm going to give you
five hundred dollars and you want a cashier's check, there's
two ways I can do it. I can go into
my bank and they basically do it from my account,
so they take five hundred dollars and basically ear market
for that in my account, and then I give you
the check when it goes through, that five hundred dollars

(02:02:13):
comes out of my account. Or they can do it
on the bank, so in other words, the five hundred
dollars comes out of my account right then and there,
and then it goes into a bank account, meaning the
bank itself's account, and then it's written off that. So
do you know which way that was done on yours?

Speaker 21 (02:02:33):
I believe it was not done on the bank's account, Okay.

Speaker 3 (02:02:36):
And I wish it was done on the bank's account
because then the bank probably wouldn't even need that insurance.

Speaker 4 (02:02:44):
So I think, I mean, Dimitri, can you just get
this figured out? Yeah, Well, it's not easy for me
to actually understand what Jamie's problem is. Jamie, if I
understand you correctly, your daughter provided some kind of a
business service to someone, and then she got paid with
a cashiers check.

Speaker 3 (02:03:00):
Is that correct? Yes? And then who lost the check?

Speaker 1 (02:03:04):
She did?

Speaker 3 (02:03:04):
Your daughter lost the check? How much was the checks?

Speaker 6 (02:03:10):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (02:03:11):
And it's never been cashed?

Speaker 4 (02:03:12):
And does the Credit Union of Denver does do? They
say that the check still hasn't been cashed.

Speaker 3 (02:03:20):
Correct and so moron.

Speaker 4 (02:03:23):
So so then they said we can replace the check
provided you give us five hundred dollars surety bond.

Speaker 3 (02:03:28):
And then when she actually brought it down, they said,
we don't take that.

Speaker 21 (02:03:33):
We actually went through a shurty bond company, and in between,
while they were underwriting the shirt T bond, we contacted
the bank and she talked to one of the accountant
supervisors and they said, yep, this is the kind of
surety bond you need and everything. So and that was

(02:03:54):
on Wednesday the twelfth.

Speaker 4 (02:03:56):
So today she showed up. She showed up at the
credit union and said, here's the bond. Now give me
a copy, another copy of that check.

Speaker 3 (02:04:04):
She sat there two hours and they said we don't
take it. And but and then did she and she
and they said, well, we don't, we don't take the
charity bond. Was the problem with that particular bonding company?
Or is the problem or is there some other problem?
Now I'll tell you what the problem is. They're morons.

Speaker 4 (02:04:19):
Well, not necessarily, Why did what did what step do
they tell you to follow next to get the ninety
eight hundred bucks?

Speaker 3 (02:04:29):
They they didn't, so they so they said we don't
take schurty bonds. And she just left.

Speaker 21 (02:04:37):
Yeah, so she was there for two hours.

Speaker 3 (02:04:39):
And I think the people at the branch are morons,
and the people that they actually talked to over the
phone knew what the hell needed to be done, and
possibly the people at the actual branch are just clueless.

Speaker 4 (02:04:53):
Wouldn't the people at the actual branch say, okay, if
you still want your ninety eight one hundred dollars, here's what.

Speaker 3 (02:04:57):
You should do next?

Speaker 4 (02:04:58):
Well, you would sure think so, Well, well, I would
certainly ask that question, but your daughter didn't ask like
what she should do to get her ninety eight hundred dollars.

Speaker 22 (02:05:07):
Now, so she had had on a discussion with these
people before and they told her they needed to talk
to the account as supervisor.

Speaker 21 (02:05:20):
And that was on the twelfth.

Speaker 3 (02:05:22):
I'm telling you, they're morons, Dmitri. They don't know what
the hell they're doing down there. This should be so easy.
On a cashier's check that hasn't been canceled, you cancel
that one. You simply cancel it. That's it. If someone
presents it, it's no good, it doesn't matter. They simply
don't pay it, and then they issue a new one.
It's so easy. I don't even understand why these people

(02:05:43):
are that stupid, to be quite honest, Hey Kelly, let's
get the hold on. Let's try this. I doubt they'll
come on the air. Let's try to get the branch
manager at this Lakewood Denver Credit Union that can't seem
to get this poor woman her money. Let's see if
they'll come on the air. These morons.

All right, three oh three seven three eight five to five.
Dmitri wasn't here years ago when we actually had Dollar
Store ribbis. Oh, I want to see pictures and I
want to hear a description. It was the most disgusting meat.

Speaker 1 (02:06:52):
I was on the show when you were talking about those.

Speaker 3 (02:06:54):
Yeah, it was insane. So we brought a grill in,
put it out on the patio up here at I Heart,
and we grilled him and everybody tried them. I was afraid,
so I didn't even try. It's an actual ribbi cut
of me from the Dollar Store. It was a ribbi.
It was like this thick like a hamsteak. You ever
seen a ham store. It's about as thick as a hamsteak.

(02:07:17):
And it was packaged in bromine. Wait, what what's bromine?
Bromine is an ant acid? I need to look this up,
but I'm afraid yes, dollar store steaks are literally packaged
in an ant acid. That can't be good for you. Well,
you won't have an acid's stomach apparently after eating it.

(02:07:39):
I don't even know what may just think of that? Oh,
we were talking about wings. Hey, Dan's got a question
for Genesis. Mark Schamansky's with us today, the owner of
Genesis Total Exteriors. He's got a great deal going on
in paint too. We'll talk about But Dan, what's going on?

Speaker 12 (02:07:54):
Hey? Tom?

Speaker 14 (02:07:55):
Hey, I'm glad you have Genesis on because I have
a couple of curses.

Speaker 6 (02:07:59):
On stucco?

Speaker 3 (02:08:00):
Go ahead, sir, okay?

Speaker 6 (02:08:03):
Uh?

Speaker 14 (02:08:04):
Would you do stucco on a log?

Speaker 9 (02:08:06):
Home?

Speaker 1 (02:08:07):
I tell you, I I mean because you have such
those deep rivers. Can you do it? Yes, we could
do it. But gosh, why would you want to cover
up those beautiful logs?

Speaker 10 (02:08:16):
You know?

Speaker 1 (02:08:16):
Are they such bad shape?

Speaker 14 (02:08:19):
Well, they are citing good bad shape. I gotta print it,
I gotta get it painted or staying. But the other
thing is as far as for insurance, So.

Speaker 3 (02:08:31):
Change your insurance.

Speaker 1 (02:08:32):
No, because you're in a fire area.

Speaker 14 (02:08:34):
Yeah, they won't a lot of insurance companies won't cover.

Speaker 1 (02:08:38):
Yeah, we're seeing that up and wait wait, wait.

Speaker 3 (02:08:40):
Wait, I understand they won't cover a log cabin. I
get that, But just by putting stucco on the logs,
saying that changes.

Speaker 1 (02:08:47):
Now you're gonna have a fire raided in your house.

Speaker 3 (02:08:49):
I get that. But you're saying if you put stucco
over the log the logs, that now you don't have
a log cabin.

Speaker 14 (02:08:58):
Well, you know, you still have a log cabin, but
the outside isn't.

Speaker 3 (02:09:01):
So they're like, so it truly is a workaround.

Speaker 1 (02:09:04):
So I'm asking, right, do you know what I Now,
just think about this. What we would probably do is
attach a half inch sheet of O, S B and
stucco on that. Then we're not feeling Now now we're
not feeling.

Speaker 3 (02:09:16):
All the ridges that pain the ash.

Speaker 1 (02:09:19):
Yeah, I just think how much concrete you have to
put in there, and.

Speaker 3 (02:09:22):
Then the insulation factor is going to be way better
with the stucco.

Speaker 14 (02:09:26):
Right, And that's the other reason. That's the other reason.
Now the ridges, it's only a half inch between the outside,
you know, the round part to the other, So it's not.

Speaker 1 (02:09:35):
Okay, so you have that pine that pine log look
exciting is what it is. It's probably not true log,
it's probably pin.

Speaker 3 (02:09:44):
It's links basically, right, seriously.

Speaker 1 (02:09:47):
Yeah, okay right right, and so so it's doable with Yeah,
it's doable.

Speaker 14 (02:09:54):
Okay, how about do you do synthetic?

Speaker 3 (02:09:56):
And we're we're I'm alry to interrupt this. I still
have to understand this for myself. If you have a
log cabin, yep, and they don't want to ensure it
because it's a log cabin right in the area it's in.

Speaker 1 (02:10:13):
Right, because they're afraid the outside would start a fire.

Speaker 3 (02:10:15):
Correct, that's right, because it's a log cabin. Right, But
you're saying the stucco has a fire. It's fire resistant concrete.
So it's concrete.

Speaker 6 (02:10:25):
Right.

Speaker 3 (02:10:26):
So all of a sudden, even though it's still a
log cabin, of course, now they will accept it in
the insurance realm.

Speaker 1 (02:10:32):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (02:10:32):
Okay, thank you. I just that was hard for me.
That's all right, we got you, all right, keep going Dan.

Speaker 14 (02:10:39):
So so the other question was synthetic versus standard do you?

Speaker 1 (02:10:44):
I mean we typically are standard, we're typically standard. But
if somebody says we want synthetic will use.

Speaker 3 (02:10:49):
What's the difference? Mark?

Speaker 1 (02:10:50):
You know, they're just two different products. I couldn't tell
you the exact difference.

Speaker 3 (02:10:53):
Okay, I think I knew at one time, but I
don't remember.

Speaker 14 (02:10:57):
It has a better R rating, and I guess just
why I read it it's less resistant.

Speaker 3 (02:11:04):
I would assume the synthetic costs.

Speaker 1 (02:11:05):
Again, we don't. We don't have any issues with the
cracking because of the mesh that we put in. So,
I mean I have never had a callback from a
stucco job because we had cracks.

Speaker 9 (02:11:15):
What do you do?

Speaker 3 (02:11:16):
Do you stuck other? I mean, if it's a wood
right now? Dan, what's the roof look like?

Speaker 16 (02:11:23):
Uh?

Speaker 14 (02:11:24):
Rigor asphalt roof?

Speaker 3 (02:11:26):
Okay, well that's kind of cool, man. I learned something.

Speaker 1 (02:11:32):
Be happy to come out and take it.

Speaker 3 (02:11:33):
Give you a quote, So that's free. Brother. Where do
you live, by the way, Dan, where's the place black Hawk?

Speaker 6 (02:11:39):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:11:41):
You've done a ton of work up there.

Speaker 1 (02:11:42):
Yeah, all the z casinos I was a contractor, and
all the inside and outside remodels of Ramzy. I did
the Dragon Tiger restaurant.

Speaker 3 (02:11:49):
We met up there a couple of times.

Speaker 7 (02:11:51):
Ye.

Speaker 3 (02:11:51):
So yeah, I mean he's worked all over black Hawk
Man for all those casinos.

Speaker 14 (02:11:57):
Ye, getting ready to put some in for I measured this,
would you need to come on out for or if
I measured the square footage and took pictures of it,
would you be able to get a Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:12:07):
In the realm, Yeah, we could probably get you a ballpark,
but yeah, we do want to eventually see it before
we give you a hard number.

Speaker 3 (02:12:13):
Yeah, but at least you can get an idea. Sure, yeah, right, right,
do that, Dan, I mean call him up man three
oh three, six seven nine eighty five oh nine. I'll
do it all right, Thanks dude, Jamie. So we're we're
going to reach out and try to help you a
couple different things. Here's here's what I would like to do.

(02:12:35):
Deputy Bow offered to meet with your daughter down at
the location. Deputy Bow, Is that correct?

Speaker 17 (02:12:40):
Yes, it's not too far from where I live, and
I can have a confersation.

Speaker 3 (02:12:44):
I think that's a good way to start this and
then we can apply a little pressure. I assume Kelly,
when you called over there, they do not want to
come on the air.

Speaker 18 (02:12:52):
No, it was a circuitous route that actually get you
to a call center.

Speaker 3 (02:12:58):
Yeah, it goes nowhere it sounds just like the brains
of the people down there. It goes nowhere. I mean,
this poor woman has a check for ninety six hundred
bucks and she lost it. Okay, good bad on her,
But no one's cashed it. It's not hard to cancel
a cashiers check. For the life of me. It's not hard.
It happens all the time. If it hasn't been cashed,

(02:13:18):
and then issue a new one. I think Deputy Bow's
going to get to the bottom of this for you, Jamie.
I'm hoping to your next time on the show. You're
thanking us, all right, Yes, we're going to help you out, Jamie. Yeah,
hold on, Deputy Bo's got to pick up and get information.
He's going to do that. Kelly, grab all of her info,
and Bo will call her daughter and figure out when
to meet. In fact, Bo, if you do it during

(02:13:39):
the show at some point, call while you're there. I mean,
if they're really as dumb as I think they are,
I'd love a picture of these people.

It appears to be Credit Union of Denver, Elkwood Branch
and Lakewood Point Way Way on West Alamedia. I find

(02:14:45):
this unbelievable. To cancel a check and then to reissue
it to this woman. This is like either something nefarious
is going on, and what I mean by that is
maybe the person that issued the check got the money
back doesn't want to I mean something, but I don't know.
We're going to get to the bottom of it. Hopefully
we know something. And then, by the way, listen, anybody

(02:15:06):
out there, please tell everybody about this show. You've been
ripped off, you've been taking advantage of. You're talking to

I think you guys did a really great job clarifying
everything for me today. I'm walking out smarter than I
came in. You know what I love about that show.
I mean, we talk to people every day. I learned

(02:16:47):
a lot today on two different calls. I mean the
one that Brad Bradley O'Brien helped out on with the
guy that had been parking in the same trailer park
lot for over twenty years and all all of a
sudden they don't want him parking his truck. There After,
he had a dispute with the guy in the trailer
next to him that was great information. I really did not.

(02:17:10):
I didn't think the guy had a shot in hell
again anywhere, but it looks like he does, and I
think we can both agree. He'd probably be a great neighbor, Dmitri,
