Salt Damage to Concrete - Blame Contractor - LIVE Stream Jan 18, 2022 Ask the Builder

Hello, I'm Tim Carter

This is Ask the Builder live stream. And it is Tuesday, January 18th, 2020

I'm glad you're here. This is going to be a really kind of loosely tied together live stream

And remember, the way the live stream works. If you're a new viewer, if you've just tuned in for the first time, hopefully you've got a YouTube account

You don't, because if you have a YouTube account, then you're able over in the right side, you can chat

You can send me questions, comment, whatever. And generally, the people that are chatting are the ones who direct the stream kind of where we go

So I encourage you to, you know, to hopefully you have a YouTube account and then that way you can do it

And here's quickly about the YouTube accounts. You can open a YouTube account

You do not have to upload a video There are probably millions and millions of people who have YouTube accounts who have never uploaded a video The biggest challenge I think comes with coming up with a username

because, you know, all the good ones are probably taken. So good luck with your username is all I can

tell you, because I see some really interesting ones here. Today, we're going to talk about

hey, well, I had you on you. Yeah, we survived. We're going to talk about the snow in a minute. This is who's sponsoring today's live stream

It's basically me. This is a simple book that you can get for free

I've got the link right up in the chat. It's an e-book

I'm not going to send you a paper one made out of Adams, but it's a really interesting book

It only takes about an hour to read it. And the biggest takeaway is that if you have an asphalt shingle roof

I tell you in the book, that's a picture of me in it back there, I tell you in the book how to, what you can do, something really simple to get your roof to last for, I don't know, 40, 50 years as long as the asphalt's in pretty good shape

So get that e-book. It's up in the thing. So anyway Will and I been talking over email Yesterday I wasn here And the reason I wasn here is I was well I didn get finished working until about 4

And I was exhausted. I literally, I was really tired. I mean, really tired

I hadn't been that tired in a long time. And the reason why is I had to deal with a lot of snow

I have, we had this, we had a really interesting. snowstorm. It was, it pretty much did what they said. I got about nine inches

but, and it was a nice powdery light snow. I mean, it's, it's a beautiful snow to use a

snowblower with. I mean, the snowblower just, just takes it right away. But what happened is

the temperature started to go up and then we had a brief period, maybe 45 minutes of some light

rain. And that was, that was it. That was death on a stick. Hey, William, how you doing? And the

the rain saturated the snow enough that it, it made it not all of it into concrete, but it made

it that the snowblower I could not take full passes I can only maybe do six inch cuts And not only did I hello Jason not only did I have to do all of my stuff

but my next door neighbor, it's got a pretty big kind of driveway and apron area

I had to do his too because 12 days ago, he broke his ankle

And I also had to rake off part of this root of his that's over his kitchen

And it's a long story. The house has got a huge design flaw, I mean, for New Hampshire

I just marvel at some of the stuff I see. And like, here's the problem

The house has got a really steep roof like this. And then on the part, on this part, let's say this part's over the kitchen

Well, I'm going to do it with my one hand. It's real steep like this. then there's the shallow roof that connects right above the exterior wall of the kitchen

So right here is the kitchen wall. And if you don't get all the snow off around here and down off this roof, then he gets a horrible ice dam

And I've seen it happen before. The water just pours down this outside wall

It's crazy. And, you know, and if it gets to
