I think so. You know crown molding

8:47

Delaware on the line? Is that a

8:49

question about hot water? What's going on?

8:51

I hope you have some that's not

8:53

that bad. It's just stuff and not

8:56

used to waiting. So long for the

8:58

order to get hot? Is this a new situation?

9:00

Have you always had to wait a long time

9:02

for the water to get hot? Marina: It's a

9:04

brand. New house and we have a new

9:06

or are hot water systems. I

9:08

want to mention any names. William.

9:11

The thing is is not really the

9:13

fault of the hot water system because

9:16

what this is is a function of

9:18

the distance between the water heater itself

9:20

in your bathroom. The farther apart they

9:22

are the longer the water which has

9:24

cooled and the pipes has to run

9:27

to basically don't itself out and become

9:29

hot. So the solution here is really

9:31

to one's really expensive and the other

9:33

one is not expensive. Some guess where

9:36

to go the management solution he spends

9:38

a solution is you could. Put it

9:40

another water heater closer to the bathroom

9:42

attack was use it but I don't

9:44

think it's necessary. There is a desert

9:46

basically a plumbing part called a hot

9:48

water we circulating systems and what are

9:51

hot water circulation system does is it

9:53

research away some of the cold water

9:55

back to the water heater through the

9:57

existing piping system to be reheated. As

10:00

key periods during the day. So think about it

10:02

in terms of like a timer so you might

10:04

set this to go on that. Well let's let's

10:06

presume were in a normal economy where Uribe waking

10:09

up at five or six in the morning to

10:11

get ready to go to work so she would

10:13

have come on then and then go off when

10:15

he left for work and so on. So you

10:17

can set this for the morning hours or the

10:19

evening hours whenever you want to make sure you

10:21

don't have to wait for hot water and a

10:24

will automatically circulate some of that cold water back

10:26

to be to be he's in that case, you'll

10:28

have rather instead hot water. Now it's not. Something

10:30

you want to twenty four seven because is

10:32

no point in keeping the water in that

10:34

five hot all the time when you're not

10:37

using it like when you're sleeping or you're

10:39

doing something else during the day but a

10:41

key periods we don't have to wait for

10:43

the water to make that long trip from

10:46

the water heater to your bathroom or you

10:48

can use this route this research lighting system

10:50

or with timers to basically I do it

10:52

for you have a brand name that to

10:55

We have a lot respect for his Watts

10:57

W A T T S icy work with

10:59

Watts a long time ago when these products

11:01

were first being developed and help sell her

11:04

story. but I think it's a good product

11:06

is so solidly built you could find it

11:08

online it like Home depot.com A not expensive

11:10

about two hundred bucks or and and relatively

11:13

simple plumbing project to install. If

11:15

you're the I wire or of not

11:17

a fairly short trip for of a

11:19

former to do so I would take

11:21

a look at the Watts hot water

11:23

recycling system or with built in timer.

11:26

Is illegal In as a said, you can look that

11:28

up on Home depot.com or probably on Amazon as well.

11:30

That sounds a lot of my husband. Fi

11:32

or watches. Don't use the hot water. As

11:36

an idea. Nice guy. He

11:39

must be a lot of fun to hang out with. Our

11:43

your hair on? Yeah, good luck Loretta!

11:47

Well. Every summer we hear about decks

11:49

that collapse causing serious injury or worse

11:51

to partygoers oblivious to the danger on

11:53

their feet. Now the cause is often

11:56

the same. It's a deck that was

11:58

not properly attached to the home. so

12:00

before us how soon as gathering it's

12:02

only portnow inspect that decks with the

12:04

most common has it's So here's a

12:07

list of recommended by the North American

12:09

Decking and Railing Association. These guys that

12:11

are credited put himself for years. It's

12:13

really important stuff. Yet. So for

12:16

saw you want to check for split

12:18

or the tongue blood scenario battling salmon

12:20

as various areas of your deck including

12:22

the ledger board which really is a

12:25

common source of deck failures and that's

12:27

the point where the deck attached to

12:29

your house to support post the joys

12:32

the get bored the railings and. The

12:34

fiercest may need to pay close attention to

12:36

areas. That gets damp is that that

12:38

are regularly exposed to water or any

12:40

areas that are in contact with fasteners.

12:43

Now you can use an ice pick

12:45

or a screwdriver. Can attest that woods

12:47

integrity. If it's easily punctures the would

12:50

like a quarter of an inch or

12:52

breaks off without splinters or maybe just

12:54

feel soft and bungie then you could

12:56

have decay presence to you. Want to

12:59

look out for smallholders? well that could

13:01

indicate insect activities. He really got to

13:03

be a detective here. And. Speaking

13:05

of water intrusion, you gotta respect the

13:07

flashing. The flashing jerks water away from

13:09

the critical areas where that deck beats

13:11

the house the never been more to

13:13

build up and serious rights to make

13:15

sure the flashing syntax is properly installed

13:17

and replace any damage sexes. You don't

13:19

get water between the deck and the

13:21

house, it's going to ride out the

13:23

deck for the ledger and even the

13:25

hardware holding. You know. They. Also

13:28

want to replace any fathers' that

13:30

arrested or so sign of corrosion

13:32

because thats gonna encourage mood deterioration

13:34

to replace those to prevent it

13:36

and a stable decks since Wag

13:38

it shouldn't sway it shouldn't move

13:40

during any of the testing Through

13:42

this movement there that the bigger.

13:44

Problem? yeah no Next a similar to

13:47

those stairs economy sure that the railings

13:49

are stable their secure him rails the

13:51

risers in the stringers her own good

13:53

shape than on crack than I checked

13:55

with sugar firmly attached and free of

13:57

any rights. Clear the stairways also very

13:59

be. Tripping hazard like planters are the

14:01

core and if you have small kids and

14:03

a back to the stairs you don't have

14:06

a step is actually in go right through.

14:08

So most decks steps are like that. Roads

14:10

are hollow, didn't have a riser at a

14:12

riser the back of the steps so that

14:14

you don't have a place for kids and

14:16

slip through smart. He also. I make sure

14:18

that any railing or banisters are secure,

14:20

especially if is that an elevated that

14:22

another spindles. They should have less than

14:25

four inches of space between us openings,

14:27

and the railing should be able to

14:29

support at least three hundred pounds. In

14:31

any direction, they want a repeat

14:33

this inspection at least once a

14:35

year on have any needed repairs

14:38

completed. Prometheus. If you want

14:40

some more deck safety recommendations,

you can visit the website

A D R eight.org. Ran.

14:51

Over to Illinois radio and talk to

14:53

Richards. Good problem with a chimney and

14:55

richard you say that even a d

14:57

of spot for fifty years in the

14:59

Sunni. I guess we'd better get on

15:01

this or well he did visit My

15:03

Soul Paper embark yes they are plastered

15:05

as a looser that for them. Is

15:08

this damn which are right sir

15:10

How can I help? This is

15:13

the as upstairs bedroom where this.

15:15

Is. Tammy is right next to read

15:17

that whoop foot two or three of Revised

15:20

chimney Liars. Are it Andrea Regalia? Okay

15:22

Emily and skill as and solve a problem.

15:24

Or it's Let me ask you about

15:26

your chimney. Versatile, you have an old houses

15:28

hundred eight years old I presume is

15:30

a brick. Chimneys are coming up through the

15:32

middle of the house or on the

15:34

end wall the house pretty much the middle

15:37

middle. Okay, have you checked the sloshing

15:39

around the chimney where the chimney goes through

15:41

the roof? Had? has anyone looked at

15:43

that for you Get? We've replaced it and

15:45

we've. Rebuilt the whole thing up there.

15:48

For. A temporary the attic and then goes

15:50

as out of the earth when it comes

15:52

to the out executive of they're not noticeable.

15:54

Do have a cap on this to me

15:57

is the line or opened basically to the

15:59

atmosphere. Yeah it's got a cap was it's

16:01

got a cap on. Okay and lastly, have

16:03

you ever sealed the brick? Have you ever

16:05

use the masonry sealer on the brick like

16:08

a silicone sealant? Know what you're talking about

16:10

and we've never seen any reason to do

16:12

that is that Birch is all in good

16:14

shape. The reason that you see brick is

16:16

to slow down the absorption. Brick and concrete

16:18

and mortar are are very hydra scarf again

16:21

that they will absorb a lot of water

16:23

just keep going. It's like stick of the

16:25

dry sponge in a pile of water to

16:27

soaks up the water until there's no room

16:29

left unanswered. Brick does, especially when periods

16:32

of of heavy rain. The sounds to

16:34

me like that brick is probably very

16:36

damp because it's getting saturated is pulling

16:39

itself. I downward in towards the

16:41

house. Still to sounds like

16:43

it's not been a term from voices. Been

16:45

going on for a long time but the

16:47

next thing I would do as I would

16:49

definitely apply a masonry see or to that.

16:51

know when you look for sealers you want

16:53

to look for one that says these words

16:55

on it vapor permeable. So what that means

16:57

is. The. Moisture can vent out

16:59

if it gets into can basically dry

17:02

out. the sewer will hold moisture inside

17:04

the chimney will allow to vet and

and over seven years. In: I'm

20:20

trying to trouble shoot. What will it

20:22

take to get that house? Second,

20:25

And watching. The com. Which

20:28

that to be picture to to treat

20:30

to start to evaluate were my cost

20:32

are gonna be cc Nobody's in an

20:34

hour of utilities been on or is

20:37

it been completely. They given the utilities

20:39

completely. they can know utility was a

20:41

number of things that you want to

20:43

do with house at this stage or

20:45

the first thing I might consider doing

20:47

sit on a give you are just

20:49

on a good overall sense as to

20:51

what it's gonna take. this is to

20:53

hire a professional home inspector to do

20:55

an inspection of at home and explains.

20:58

As you're trying to identify what kinds of

21:00

of work it's gonna need so that you

21:02

buddies remote you software or sell it or

21:04

or whatever your intentions are for this anyways,

21:06

At. At this point, home with none of the utilities

21:08

on. Yeah, that's a good point

21:10

is it's gonna be challenging because part of the

21:12

issue is going to be you know utilities are

21:15

often. we know if it was purple, the pipes

21:17

are properly drain before that happened or if we

21:19

can have big surprises when the water turned back

21:21

arms against turn back on. So yes there inspector

21:23

is not going. they will tell you everything but

21:25

considering at his house has been vacant for so

21:27

long I think you might be able to get

21:30

a good sense as to where you going in

21:32

terms of next steps. Stand it if I was,

21:34

the biggest projects are them in Once you gonna?

21:36

we're going with that. You could consider hiring an

21:38

architect. To help you plan the renovation

21:40

of it needs a lot of work. I would

21:42

recommend that because an architect and look the big

21:45

picture and make sure that I'm still whatever your

21:47

the jews as going to be consistent we were

21:49

budget you want to put out for it's and

21:51

and and also course you need to have since

21:54

is what the value was using makes it cost

21:56

analysis in terms of whether it's is worthy of

21:58

putting in wherever power number of. There's a new

22:00

you have to put in there to gonna fix

22:02

the spice up. It's just going to get you

22:05

started since so you really have a baseline here

22:07

by the go Be well worth or three or

22:09

four hundred hours to hire a professional Home Inspector

22:11

of I would recommend that you go to the

22:13

website for the American Society of Home Inspectors ah

22:15

that is Home inspector.org is their web sites in

22:18

those guys Bomb Is there Certified members of Ashy

22:20

is the acronym the American Society of Homes Factors

22:22

That's gonna be sort of the cream of the

22:24

crop. The better inspectors in your area in interest

22:26

groups and get presented with a list of inspectors

22:28

and you could call in, speak with them and

22:31

find one he so it's connect with that can

22:33

address this issue but then you have a much

22:35

better idea of what you're getting. Bar with the

22:37

remote. Know it all with a Qb much farther

22:39

along. Okay so thank you so much.

22:42

That can maryland on the line the dealing with

22:45

that smoke smell at home with. My

22:47

Janet as then in the house

22:50

phone number of years now I

22:52

did ask oh please please smoke

22:54

outside and she didn't listen. Said

22:58

yeah okay. thank you. I did

23:00

say that that I should have.

23:03

Known you light a cigarette, Smoke

23:05

a cigarette. Smoke. It's

23:07

like having a small campfire. Yeah

23:09

just as funny you mention act

23:11

as cause actually getting rid of

23:13

this smell is is much the

23:15

same as what you would do

23:17

if the house was was in

23:19

a fire or Leslie you know.

23:21

John, that smoke smell and even the

23:23

discoloration just saturate everything. Basically anything and

23:25

everything that's a soft good are wall

23:28

still. Couple of things that you have

23:30

to do for the walled you kind

23:32

of have to wash them first before

23:34

you can go ahead and pains and

23:36

you can get something called E S

23:38

p which is try sodium phosphate and

23:40

what you would do is you mix

23:42

it according to the manufacturers directions and

23:44

a new wash the walls with it

23:46

and that's gonna give you that that

23:48

is still have to then prime with

23:50

an oil these primer Athena. Lock in the

23:52

odor and any discoloration and then you can go

23:54

ahead and that a latex top coat on s

23:56

But you also have to think about flying if

23:59

he that carpeting. Walter. Carpeting You wanna pull

24:01

that up If there's padding under their that

24:03

get a come up to seem cleaning alone

24:05

isn't gonna do it. And then if you

24:07

can replace that carpet or he finished the

24:09

wood floors below he does. he was going

24:11

on to their draperies. Those need to be

24:13

seen. Claims: Clean, Dry cleaned. however you clean

24:16

I'm you gotta clean know it's any upholstery

24:18

you should have that claimed as well as

24:20

anything that soft like that. just absorb those

24:22

odors and truly, you could leave it outside

24:24

for the rest of his life. It's not

24:26

an era. you've gotta clean things. Young.

24:29

I would extend his to say that not

24:31

only the walls but the ceilings and if

24:33

you do take up and of of your

24:35

corp political Corbett er and you know looking

24:38

those subs were not as opposed like a

24:40

harbor Georgia the refinish. You also need to

24:42

put primer on that floor because that sneer

24:44

will soak up the smokers well so it's

24:46

the same thing it's you would do with

24:49

the house was ever god forbid the fire

24:51

smoke restore guys was clear thoroughly and and

24:53

they would put primer on everything to seal

24:55

in was a kid get to and that's

24:58

really the best. You can do or john Hope

25:00

inspector that I found those filters were

25:28

probably never changed or Shirley never cheese

25:31

beyond the first. Maybe your was in

25:33

there and that's only going to make

25:35

the water gross. the silvers or overdue

water softener Salt based systems These be

26:25

get. Great War. And

26:28

over to Rhode Island with Linda

26:30

who wants to build a patio

26:32

Tell us about your project why

26:34

would like to do actually it's

26:37

make it a combination of a

26:39

patio so I could use it

26:41

during the summer in also use

26:43

it as a carport during the

26:45

winter in I was wondering as

26:48

far as a say what would

26:50

be that das I have a

26:52

form. And that and

26:54

he made all the

26:57

patio block. So

26:59

he basically made his own paper stones.

27:01

Sounds like by pouring the minnesota seem

27:03

right? Button I was afraid of. I

27:06

put cement into the form. And he

27:08

gave them with me and how do I get

27:10

it out if you want me back up for

27:12

a second? So when you see car for June

27:14

two new to this sub sodium to have resigned

27:16

as are correct. Guess. I would like

27:18

to play right. it's still have

27:21

the sides awoken might be able

27:23

because I have a collectible cost

27:25

and I. Managed to put it is not

27:27

an authentic or is it. Is.

27:29

A nineteen, sixty six

27:32

foot Lcd. Move much physical

27:34

minutes we can do to help ya

27:36

some first of all sides Room you

27:38

know these films in this and that's

27:41

really to talk about how you can

27:43

impair are you going to do this

27:45

Base Know if you do concrete dust

27:48

the most prominent and durable surface I

27:50

would recommend that you planning on fork

27:52

in the corner of doing a slab

27:54

their that is. But least

27:57

six inches thick. Or maybe four to six

27:59

inches thick. Nothing. That is thinner than

28:01

Mad and make it a reinforced slab.

28:03

It's not a D I Y project

28:05

is not poured concrete floors, not a

28:07

hard projects which have to properly prepare

28:09

the surface and then what will happen

28:12

is a mason will sort of dig

28:14

out the top layer of dirt. They'll

28:16

put stone in the Tampa down packet

28:18

really well for form the outside perimeter

28:20

and then for the concrete and finishes

28:23

that's gonna be a solid tormented surface.

28:25

If you're a do something that was

28:27

like paper bricks or even if you

28:29

did these. Sections of by the way

28:31

there's forms available or to do just

28:33

that now is your grandfather's old form

28:35

doesn't work on what the problem with

28:37

that as you've got again prepare the

28:39

base of the same way. it's gotta

28:41

be solidly chance it's more work than

28:43

the concrete to do or and the

28:45

problems you may get some we the

28:48

stuff the grow fruit over time and

28:50

if you don't do a good job

28:52

for Perry it's it's gonna get all

28:54

on even and look wobbly and look

28:56

terrible and just a few short years

28:58

to get enough. Slab are a beginner.

29:00

Base rate is really the most important

29:02

part of this. Now once you do

29:04

that, then in terms of the carport

29:07

roof. You. Could attach the roof

29:09

to the side of the house you get

29:11

are going to need. Columns will have to

29:13

be properly secured to the base of the

29:15

concrete. You're gonna need sway bracing so it

29:17

doesn't us way back and forth from side

29:19

to side. Still does a fair amount of

29:21

work itself. Simple but this is this a

29:23

big projects I had. If you don't you

29:25

to write a Lcs. I have a neighborhood

29:28

near where we live and than her husband

29:30

who was a great guy built a real

29:32

solid carport. an expired rise in a cave

29:34

down the last storm in a gotta get

29:36

it right it was open on the. Size

29:38

and adjusted uses. Time for to go on

29:40

record to mother Nature so I encourage you

29:42

to get a really good solid base on

29:44

concrete. his best and you to finish the

29:46

country but we have to look at just

29:48

concrete. Still, there's a company called Dice Coatings

29:50

the have some beautiful offenses including for Azo

29:53

that you can cover that country surface with

29:55

some could look great patio but you gotta

29:57

get right that's not solid. You're not to

29:59

be happy. I think I need. Someone.

30:01

Else in that type of this is as the

30:03

I think it's beyond my see I why. Would

30:06

you do I. Really appreciate it because

okay. Oh thank you ever

30:35

so much for all your help

30:46

go on. We just

30:48

bought this house or last

30:57

But they do so through

30:59

the existing topical code that

31:01

they have on that concrete.

31:04

Not want to grind this

Duty. In Louisiana you've got

33:41

the my pet what are

33:43

you working on I was

33:45

asking about new do and

33:47

mole. On. Brick.

33:50

How do I get it off? The.

33:52

Easiest way I've been as outside

33:55

out of I get it off

33:57

the easiest way with out damage.

34:00

The Mordor. So. There's

34:02

a variety of products out there

34:04

that can do that, or in

34:06

these cleaners essentially saturate the mold

34:09

or the moss of the mildew.

34:11

He and then they break down

34:14

the fibers and then rain since

34:16

we washes away their slow working.

34:18

It's not like you're gonna do

34:21

it once and will be done

34:23

about it. Will get clean. So

34:25

there's products like Sprain forget her

34:28

wedding, forget can chromium. There's Zinser

34:30

has one. And it all

34:32

those products are basically and they'll decide

34:34

that are designed to to kill that

34:36

material. I use them

34:38

on a roof of a shed

34:41

last year that was literally totally

34:43

covered with moss and it has

34:45

happened to notice. This. Past

34:47

weekend was europe do some work in the yard

34:49

that I can see all the singles again as

34:51

if it never existed. So it is basically melted

34:54

all the way so that's the way to do

34:56

that. You can pressure was some of that off

34:58

but if you do it you just have to

35:00

use a gentle pressure washer so that you don't

35:03

destroy the surfaces underneath. Good luck with a project.

35:05

Thanks for calling us at eighty money to. Sever.

35:08

Road and t many pit and as

35:10

a dog who might not see from

35:13

jumping and scratching the inside of my

35:15

front and back door is in refinished

35:17

twice. And she continues. To damage them,

35:20

I would like to either recess them

35:22

again or replace them. That's nothing of

35:24

a clever, practical, or decorative way to

35:26

protect the door. Would you suggest. So.

35:29

Here's a question was do you think

35:31

spring the door down with Wd? Forty

35:33

is one of the one thousand and

35:35

one uses Assumes were. I

35:37

don't know. I have a set

35:39

of on. Enemy within the

35:41

time Only game in. The first thing

35:43

that comes to my mind is you.

35:46

Know with that said the plastic thing they

35:48

would plate and like that. And.

35:50

You see him as a vet's office. It's like

35:52

a plastic protect their it screws on to the

35:54

door. Right? Plexiglass? I think the same

35:56

thing either Plexiglass or Alexei and which is

35:59

a tougher. The Plexiglas Xenia.

36:01

Is. Probably the only thing I can

36:03

think of unless we can find a smart

36:06

dog trainer hear it to break that habit

36:08

but I think you gotta put something over

36:10

the door to to protect it does nothing

36:12

else is gonna get those nails from scratching

36:14

their finish his oh finish it's gonna be

36:16

so tough at the door will eventually damage

36:18

so deborah where I would do as I

36:21

would measure the door. And.

36:23

I would have some plexiglass cut.

36:25

Or. And Friedrich by the way, to soon as

36:27

the do this yourself to sit over the bottom

36:29

of the door you have to as high as

36:32

the dog likes to jump. And.

36:34

Then you can attach to Zora. Had some

36:36

point, the dog ceases to have this habit

36:38

even though still those holes and and paint

36:40

the door. And by using Bondo or a

36:42

party like that. But for. Now

36:44

definitely of just gotta cover object that

36:46

door. Death. Death and then

36:49

hopefully we can you break up the

36:51

that's habit I can accept. Clean road

36:53

and town. We we moved into a

36:55

new house built on a slab and

36:57

when he plans and exhaust fighting for

36:59

the dryer meet outside right the tide.

37:01

This tenth one of my first projects

37:04

in the house with cleaning the condenser

37:06

quail which was completely covered in length.

37:08

How can I avoid this or that?

37:10

Seems just like poor plan. Yeah

37:12

does very frustrating to because he's on

37:14

a slab so they don't have a

37:16

lot of places they can run these

37:18

ducks so you're pure challenge in here

37:20

is to either reroute. The. Dot

37:22

on the inside or rerouted on the

37:25

outside, which is what he's done, but

37:27

it still doesn't look very good because

37:29

he basically has to talk going along

37:31

the brick wall. You. Know I say

37:33

six feet from the compressor to to

37:35

get that does moving the other way

37:37

around yo. Yo. Thing that

37:39

you could do years. you could put a

37:41

lid trap on the inside where but for

37:44

high the dryer is that decoy there that

37:46

will help capture some of the list or

37:48

won't be as bad. But I worry about

37:50

that because first of all slows down the

37:52

drawing processor. Your trial runs longer to get

37:54

close dryer. And secondly, you absolutely

37:57

positively have to be like. Really?

38:00

The back way. Nothing we've gotta happen.

38:03

Pretty. Much every day because if you let

38:05

that when filled up. Then. You

38:07

can get serious in the lid fires

38:09

are pretty serious thing and it can

38:11

happen so you wanna make sure if

38:13

you usual and travelers clean regularly. Yeah.

38:15

And clean. You are really smart to go

38:17

out there and see what's going on with

38:20

the condenser coils. Sadly, it's the land. so

38:22

now think about it, Is all the land

38:24

thera think about with in that dryer have

38:26

answered super important to clean those drive ins

38:28

annually because it's super flammable as a big

38:30

hazard. This. Is the Money Pit
