Hi, I'm Tim Carter. Let's ask the builder. Good afternoon. I um I'm a late
0:10
only because I was uh I just finished up a, an email to an architect in Sedona Arizona and this
0:20
architect has given me a lot of business. I, I've done several plumbing isometric drawings for this architect and the
0:30
um uh the city of Sedona Arizona now has requested before they issued the permit
0:39
They want, this is the first time I've ever seen this happen anywhere in the United States
0:44
They want a table of all of the plumbing fixtures in the house with the fixture units next to them
0:56
And then when you do all that math and do all that magic that
0:59
that typically only a master plumber would know. Um You, you then from that you can determine whether or not the
1:07
the um the pipe sizes that are on the isometric drawing are correct
1:12
You know, for example, for example, um I, you know, in other words
1:18
you could not connect a toilet to an inch and a half drain pipe because it can't handle the
1:25
the volume of water. All right. So, so I just had to send that email to her telling her yes
1:31
I can do it. Here's what it will cost, uh, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
1:34
So anyway, I'm here. Uh, today we're gonna talk a little bit about just to start off the stream
1:42
Hey, missing, how you doing? Hi, ob uh Happy Friday. Uh, to both of you
1:47
Thank you. Uh, good to see you. Um, we're gonna talk, I wanna talk a little bit about lead paint danger
1:53
And then uh you, you know, is the live stream happens? It's ask anything
1:58
comment, anything we can go any place you wanna go doesn't matter to me
2:02
I it really doesn't matter. So remember you are the fuel for the live stream and you
2:10
you fill the tank, so to speak by chatting your questions in the chat stream
2:16
Simple as that. All right. Stain sover sponsoring today's live stream. Great Certified Organic Bleach
2:24
Uh It, it's a powder, it mixes with warm or hot water
2:27
It makes a solution just like water. It looks just like water, but it's got trillions and trills of tiny little oxygen bubbles and those
2:35
little oxygen bubbles move around and they, they get rid of really tough stains
2:39
It deodorizes things gets, it's so good, it gets rid of skunk odor
2:44
Um It, it's just a, it's just a fantastic product. My wife and I have been making it for about 25 years
2:50
so I recommend it highly. Um Just go to Stain silver.com. Watch the videos
2:57
You'll be a amazing, it's as simple as that and, and, you know, we, we sell this little tiny sample bottle for those people who
3:04
you know, some people don't want to take a chance on the bigger size thinking it might not work
3:08
but this is enough to make one gallon of solution to test on the outside of your home and it'll make two gallons to do
3:17
almost all inside jobs. And you can do a lot with two gallons of uh stain Solver solution
3:21
Uh And obviously the more you buy, the cheaper it gets on a per pound basis
3:26
I mean, it gets, we have a lot of people who buy it in our, on our five gallon pail size and it's
3:33
it's, it's very inexpensive when you buy it in that size anyway. All right
3:38
Remember if you have any questions, comments, whatever. Put them in the chat stream
3:43
I'll do my best to answer them. All right. Let's talk a little bit. Oh, look at that
3:46
The Christmas lights are off in the back. All right. So I should throw them on
3:51
um, the um, lead paint. So l you know, leads an element uh
4:00
been around a long time, billions of years. And when early man found out about
4:09
it and I here, here's what had to happen. You know, you start to think back
4:14
like, think back like how in the world, how in the world did they ever um discover lead and
4:23
blah, blah, blah. All right. So, I think, I mean, unfortunately, it's lost in history
4:29
We'd have to get into a time machine, but here's what I think happened
4:34
I am doing fine, Steve. I like your little uh oh, look at that
4:38
Um It's really interesting. Now, you're um your logo is a different color with a wrench by it
4:46
So obviously means you're a moderator. Wonderful. That's great. Uh So here's what I think happened when they discovered lead
4:53
I think that early man, um, they used to, they figured it out
4:58
They figured that, that it's nice to have rocks around a campfire
5:02
you know, because they contain the fire and they do all kinds of things. Well, my guess is they were collecting rocks one day and
5:11
these rocks, you know, had a lot of lead in them, you know, it was as a mineral deposit and they got some really hot
5:18
fire going. They, they decided to have a party, maybe they were drinking too much beer
5:22
you know, whatever. However, they made beer back then. If they had it, I don't know, it doesn't matter anyway when they woke up the
5:29
next morning, you know, and their head was buzzing. They look on the ground and here's this pool of solidified silver medal and like
5:38
what the heck is that? And then they pick it up and it's bendable
5:42
It's like, whoa, what's this? And they, you know, somebody was smart enough to figure it came out of the rock
5:48
But I'm just assuming that's what happened. How else could they figure it out
5:51
All right. Been around a long time. So it was used to make water lines and
5:56
and then, and then once it's just once they, you, you separate it and you just have a sheet of lead or
6:03
you know, something, a puddle of lead that's solidified pretty quickly. You discover kind of a neat material
6:11
You know, it's bendable. You can make it in a pipe, you can do this
6:15
do that with it, whatever. And anyway, um, as, as you march through time
6:21
they figured out that lead could do a lot of things. And so lead used to be
6:26
it was an additive to paint. Uh Many, many years ago, you can go to my website
6:31
um, just go to ask the developer.com type lead paint in the search engine and read all about it
6:36
All right. Read what it did in the paint. Well, eventually, um
6:44
well, Steve, uh you say you can't remember when, let, uh, um
6:50
when they had lead in it. So it's lead has been in paint for over 100 years here in the United States
6:56
Lead was banned from paint. Uh I'm almost positive in 1967. So any home that was built prior to 1967
7:06
there is likelihood here in America that's got lead paint, right? So you can pretty much rest assured that a house built in the early
7:13
19 hundreds. Um, you know, it's got pain in it. Ok. The trouble is lead
7:23
for us humans and for animals too, mammals, it's very toxic. It's
7:28
I mean, like insanely toxic and it can cause all kinds of problems
7:34
Uh, in men, it can make you impotent. Um, it, it, it's just
7:38
it can kill you. I mean, it, it, it's, you get enough lead and it will kill you
7:42
All right. So, uh, back when I lived in Cincinnati, my neighbor's dog was a very hyperactive
7:49
um, I think like an Irish Setter. Uh, that, that's kind of what it reminded me of that dog
7:55
I'm not a per an expert on dog breeds anyway. I noticed that it was chewing on the woodwork in this house because we were
8:03
doing some work in the house and the, um, this house I know was built in the 19 thirties and one day the dog got
8:11
really sick, the homeowner, the wife was taking the, carrying the dog out to her car to go to the vet
8:17
And I, and, and I said, what are you doing? She says, oh, it's case she's really sick. And I said, I already know what's
8:21
wrong and she looked at me like what I said, I'm, I'm sure I'm sure she's got lead poisoning
8:26
So tell, tell the vet when you get there that she's been, I noticed that she's been chewing on the woodwork in the basement
8:33
So sure enough, the dog, but the dog lived, they, they were able to treat it but lead very
8:38
very toxic. So this means that in your home, if you have an older home
8:43
first of all, you can, you can test for it. There are all kind, there, there's these very inexpensive kits that you can buy that
8:50
you can test to see if paint is lead. But the problem is, uh
8:55
yes, exactly, no problem. I understand. I, I knew what you meant
8:59
So the problem is if you, if you get one of these lead test kits and you're say you're in an older home
9:08
that was built in 19 twenties, but they've since put three coats of latex paint on it
9:14
you know, five years ago. So your test may come back. No
9:20
there's no lead here, man. Everything's fine because the test kit is not getting through down to the older layers of lead paint
9:28
So just keep that in mind. In other words, keep in mind that you, you
9:32
you have to make sure that you're testing all of the paint
9:36
You know, that that's either inside or outside. Also understand that they used to put lead in varnish
9:43
Uh So if you have an older home, um, you know, same thing back early 19 hundreds
9:49
late 18 hundreds, that's got beautiful old fashioned woodwork. And, uh, this
9:54
this would really be interesting for you too, Steve over in the UK. You've got so
9:58
I mean, so much, so much of your housing stock is so old
10:02
I mean, my goodness, hundreds of years old. So it, it, you know
10:06
any of the clear wood finishes over there would be really interesting to test those to see how much of it has got lead in
10:12
the clear finishes. So, what does this mean? So, ok, we know that leads toxic
10:16
We know it's in all the older paint. We know it can be in the clear finishes, the old varnishes
10:20
So what does that mean to you? Well, it just means that you need to be very careful how you handle this lead paint and
10:28
and what it means is that if you have an old home that has it and you hire painters like
10:35
for example, my next door neighbor's house every like three or four years
10:41
they, they hired painters to come in and paint the outside, same thing
10:44
the outside, all kinds of lead paint, these guys would be scraping
10:49
they had Sanders out, they'd be sanding and, and um I mean
10:53
it's just like they're creating this giant toxic situation. So the soil below the
11:00
the all those paint chips fell would get contaminated. All that lead paint dust would get in the soil
11:06
So think about this. Uh once again, I'm not a gardener, but imagine if you have an older home and someone maybe has
11:15
done this, the previous owner and you want to put a little garden in next to your home on the southern exposure
11:21
Maybe that soil has got all kinds of lead in it. So you have to be
11:25
you gotta be really careful. You have to just be, you have to put on your thinking cap and use your critical thinking skills thinking
11:32
that the soil could be contaminated and that there, if there's dust inside the old house
11:38
it it, it could be lead paint dust, you just don't want to be ingesting that stuff
11:42
It's when you go to my website and read those columns about lead paint, you will have a brand new respect for lead paint is
11:49
all I can tell you. I guarantee it uh big time um could be Steve
11:54
Uh It's a, there's a laundry list, it's a long list of the help
11:59
I've got it at the website just, I mean, I can look it up myself right now, but I'll put, I'll put the link in
12:03
for you because there's gonna be other people that are watching this let uh this live stream
12:12
Um So here it is. Um I think this is the original column that I'm gonna
12:18
I'm pulling up right now. It, it's either that or the builder bulletin. Um So yeah
12:24
this is uh this is one of the links I'm gonna give you and then I'm gonna give you another link
12:29
So hang tight, hang tight. So here we go. Here's one link and this is the story about the dog right here and
12:39
then here is um this, this, this should be the actual column
12:47
this, this one, this particular one here that I'm now giving. You should
12:53
yeah, this should list all of the health concerns. So all of the health issues will be on this one
13:00
And uh I I just, and, and what you should really do is if you know somebody that has an older home
13:08
uh, they're thinking of buying an older home, you should forward those two links to them
13:12
Uh, just to, you know, get it on their radar, get it on their ra because young people and many people
13:18
they just don't know, you know, I've talked about it on other live streams
13:21
You don't know what you don't know. II I, you know, I, I, there's a lot, I don't know about
13:26
uh, commercial airplanes. I mean, I, I don't, I, I, I've tried
13:30
I've flown them and, and, um, Microsoft flight simulator years ago, but every time I go to land I crash
13:36
All right. So I obviously don't know enough, you know, about slowing down and setting the flaps and
13:43
you know, there's a lot to know. All right. So, um, so anyway
13:48
the point is you have to give led a lot of respect because it's so
13:55
so dangerous, so very, very dangerous. So, um, anyway, ok. Do you have any questions about your home
14:03
Whatever it might be? Just put it in the chat, happy to answer them
14:07
And uh, we will do our best. I will do my best
14:11
I should say to answer your questions and save you a lot of time and money
14:16
And I, um, I, I actually, I had a, I woke up this morning
14:22
it was 5 a.m. here in New Hampshire Pitch Black. You know
14:27
because today I looked on my weather app and today we have exactly
14:33
uh, on the weather app nine hours of daylight. So tomorrow it's gonna be eight hours and 58 minutes or something
14:41
Probably so. And Steve, you've got less. I mean, you're probably, today
14:49
you probably looking to have eight hours because you're so much farther north than I am in New Hampshire
14:54
Anyway, uh, the while I was lying in bed, I had this
15:01
um, I told the story. It's gonna be the newsletter. If you're, if you're a subscriber to the newsletter
15:05
you're gonna get this story on Sunday and I wrote it all out
15:09
Um, but we have to back up a few days. So we have to back up to where
15:16
um, there's just been some things in the news and some other things going on that through this past week have really troubled me just
15:24
really, I don't wanna say I've got me really upset and wrapped around the axle
15:29
but they've troubled me. All right. You may not. I may not, I may have done a really good job of hiding it here on
15:35
on the, uh, live streams. But, um, there they thank you very much missing
15:42
I, uh, I, uh, see that interesting. Uh, want to look. Um
15:48
uh, all right, Steve, I'll answer your question. How does lead? I don't know how lead compares to bury him
15:52
I, I took physical chemistry but, um, don't know. All right. Uh
15:58
yes, exactly. Um, you're exactly right. Missing. Um, I'm going to, um
16:03
so I'm actually gonna be talking about this right now that, that checklist
16:07
So I'm lying in bed thinking, you know, typically a lot of people suffer from stress and depression this time of year
16:16
All right, for a host of reasons. All right. So, and, and then when you layer on top of that
16:21
what's going on, at least here in America and I think pretty much the whole world
16:25
it's just, it's getting to be a lot. So it, it's, I think I was kind of uh foretelling
16:35
the future of the report that was put out today. So here in the news in America
16:40
uh there was a headline story on one of my news sources that said that the rate I
16:47
I may have this wrong, but I, I think I'm pretty close that the rate of inflation uh just last month
16:54
um not for the whole year, but just for last month was 6.2%
16:58
All right. So that's, that's crazy. That's, that's insane. All right. So
17:04
So, um so inflation is, is, is a really, really bad thing
17:10
We've, I've talked about this on past live streams. Uh inflation is really
17:14
really bad. All right. So, I mean, it, it may not be bad if you're making a million or $2 million a year
17:21
Um You know, or you have five or 10 million in the bank because you're making so much on your investments
17:27
Who cares? All right, unless you have this huge expensive lifestyle. All right
17:32
So, uh I was thinking, how, what can I do um to help my subscribers help
17:41
my youtube viewers, help the visitors to my website uh through this tough time
17:48
So I just had this really rough idea that crystallized in my head
17:51
I'm still working on it and I'm going to for sure, announce it on
17:57
Um Let's see. So New Year's Day is New Year's Day is on a Saturday
18:06
So on January 2nd, for sure, I'm gonna share it in my newsletter
18:10
right? And you don't want to miss it. I'm telling you right now if you want to be on the newsletter list and specifically
18:15
you should join now, if you're not already on it, because then you'll get to read the big story that I wrote this morning that
18:21
I just kind of touched on here. So go to ask the builder.com right on the home page
18:25
sign up for the newsletter, you know, after you hit submit, you got to check your email for the confirmation link
18:30
blah, blah, blah, you know how to do all that very common now. So um yeah
18:36
Um to uh yeah. Yes, Steve inflation sucks. I mean, if, if you don't know much about inflation
18:45
I'll just, I know we're getting off the track a little bit but, but it's really important and it has everything to do with home
18:51
improvement. I mean, everything because, because inflation causes the price
19:01
of the things you need to maintain or improve your home to go up
19:06
And the um and it also causes the prices. If you can't do the work yourself
19:12
the people that are doing the work for you are raising their prices because everything attached to their business is going up because of
19:21
inflation, meaning their insurance cost is going up there, the fuel for their truck to come to and from your home is going up
19:29
the cost to repair the truck is going up, the cost for all the materials is going up
19:34
I mean, everything is going up. All right. But here's the trouble is that um
19:40
unless you're a business owner or, and, and even if you are a business owner, there's no guarantee that that your wages are gonna keep
19:46
up with inflation. So very few people, um, very few people's wages stay equal
19:56
with the rate of inflation. So that means um if inflation for a given year is 8% and you get a 4% raise you
20:05
went backwards, you, you've lost, you're losing money. All right. And then any money you've got in savings
20:13
um it's just got eaten up. So in other words, if you had $100 in savings and inflation was 8% just roughly at the
20:22
end of the year, your $100 in the bank really is only kind of worth $92
20:28
All right. So inflation so, so bad. All right. So um anyway
20:36
you know, and, and, and, and, and remember what the root cause there's a lot of root causes
20:40
but here in America, what's going on actually, Steve, you, you guys had raging inflation
20:45
I, I don't know that you were born then. Um but right during world war two
20:51
there was raging inflation in the UK and Britain because Britain had turned on their printing presses and they were printing millions
21:00
of British pounds, you know, just like their pound is like our dollar here in America
21:05
right? So, and the reason they were doing that was because they had to buy all this stuff so that they could survive and beat
21:13
Hitler in the war. All right. So, so by printing all this money
21:18
they, they diluted, they diluted the value of the British Pound and it just crashed
21:22
I mean, it just, it was crazy. So that's what's happening in America right now
21:27
If you don't, if you're, if you're not paying attention to this, you need to start paying attention um you know
21:32
the old saying, elections have consequences. So when you turn on the printing presses and you start printing money
21:39
um bad things happen, really bad things happen. All right. So anyway
21:46
yep, inflation sucks. All right. So we don't want this to be ask the economist
21:50
It's supposed to be ask the builder. So if you have a question about your home
21:55
uh uh you know, please please put it in here. So, uh
22:00
yes. Missing, correct. You were teen in the seventies. So if you were teen in the seventies
22:06
um, wow. So, so was, I, I mean, we're the same age
22:10
Um, so I, yeah, because, uh, in 1970 I would have been
22:15
uh, 18 years old. Uh, yes, Steve. Exactly. That's exactly right. They
22:21
they want us all to be poor. All right. So they're do, they're
22:25
they're working on it pretty well right now. All right. So, anyway, um
22:30
yeah, inflation. Well, back then, if you remember missing, um, so Jimmy Carter then came into office as president of the United States
22:39
and I distinctly remember that interest rates for homes were like in the 20% range
22:46
I mean, that's insanity. I mean, any interest rate over 6 7% is rough
22:52
I mean, it's really rough. So, all right. Oh, so you're born in
22:56
oh, you're a youngster? My goodness. You're a, you're, you're still a pup
23:01
Steve? All right. So, anyway, um, uh, we don't have a lot of people here and like I said
23:09
I knew, uh, yes, there you go. You couldn't buy Missing says I couldn't buy a home in 1984 because the interest rate was still
23:17
too high. Yep. Absolutely. Back then they were doing a lot of owner financing land contracts
23:22
I was, I was a real estate broker back then back in Ohio and it was a wild time in
23:28
in the real estate market. Let me tell you crazy. So, as I've said before
23:32
in the past few days, I know that in this run up to Christmas that the
23:38
um, that we're gonna have light attendance on the live stream because everybody's so busy
23:43
I get it. I get it all right. So, um, um, I get it
23:48
So we're just gonna kind of be, it's just gonna be relaxed and if I start to get boring
23:53
say you can type in the, in the chat like Tim, uh
23:57
time to end the stream, huh? Oh, you grew up in the suburb of Chicago
24:06
I don't know if you still live there but boy, not a place to go out on Saturday night
24:11
Now, who Chicago is much different than it was back then? I think
24:16
Uh, so here Steve's got a great question. It's land expensive to buy in the United States
24:21
Well, great question. Um, it depends on the answer is yes or no
24:27
It's like anything else in real estate. I don't know if they, if you in the UK have a similar uh but here in the
24:36
United States, there's an axiom in real estate called said it's simply this location
24:42
location, location. So if you're in a great location, the the price of whatever you own is
24:51
generally gonna be higher, right? So I could go right now to Western New Hampshire
24:59
you can actually look this up. I mean, you could go to Zillow, you could go to all those online real estate things
25:04
This would be a really interesting thing to do, Steve for you. Um, go to western New Hampshire and which it's like Nowheresville
25:14
I mean, it's just like nothing is over there. It's horrible. I mean, it's, I, I don't mean to beat up on a people over
25:19
there. It's not the best part of New Hampshire by a long shot
25:23
And my guess is if you look at raw land prices there, you might be able to find raw land for $1000 an acre
25:29
maybe even cheaper. All right, you go to other parts of New Hampshire
25:33
like where I am, uh, land price is 9000 $6000 an acre
25:39
All right. So it just depends. So, uh, and then there's many other places in the United States where it's much cheaper
25:45
You could probably still buy land some places in America for, I don't know
25:52
$200anacre.Imean,it'sprobablyhorriblelandbut,andyou're30milesfromcivilizationand,and,andit
26:01
might get five inches of rain a year, you know. So, I mean, it's just
26:05
that's, that goes back to the whole location, location, location thing. Um
26:11
so you're in northern Wisconsin now? Yeah. Up in the Arctic tundra. Yes
26:16
Getting 14. Yeah, you're getting the, the first big winter storm is hitting you right now
26:21
I know that I saw that today in the news. Um, Steve says I heard San Francisco is getting bad for crime
26:30
Dude. This one, it's really interesting. You know, this is where that
26:34
remember that. Um I don't know if you, you know, no one has to answer
26:39
but I, I shared that link yesterday in the chat stream uh about that video you need to watch about how Google and
26:48
Facebook and all these other big tech giants are controlling the narrative and controlling what you see
26:56
But anyway, in the, in one of the news outlets that I, I look at um yesterday had um a story that last month
27:05
in San Francisco, Steve 3000 and this is just the city of San Francisco
27:11
not the suburbs, just the city 3000 break ins in automobiles, just automobiles
27:19
All right. Uh We also have, there's a, there's been this very, very dis
27:23
I don't know if it's in your news over there in the UK. We have had this very disturbing new trend of smash and grab
27:31
these, these organized, they're using their smartphones but these groups of people are maybe 50 or 100 people at a
27:40
time or organizing, they go into a, a high level department store
27:46
they all rush into the door, steal a bunch of stuff, run out and
27:51
and they actually have other people that are outside in cars blocking traffic so that no one can move and then so that all
28:00
the guys who are getting, all the stuff can get back into their cars and get the heck out of there
28:05
Right. I mean, it's a very organized, a gorilla type of warfare
28:11
uh, thing that's going on here in America and it's happening, it, it
28:15
it's, it happened at a Home Depot store, I think in the upper Midwest, um
28:18
just earlier this week or last weekend. Um, it's a, it's, it's a very disturbing trend
28:24
So, crime here in America in the bigger cities is really starting to go up
28:29
It's a, it's, uh, I mean, there's an exodus of people moving out of the big cities
28:35
Um, all right. So Steve's got another question. Uh, how much would it cost to build a home yourself
28:42
Hm. Uh, boy, that's like a, at that question is like this
28:47
why, you know, you can't even see my hands off the screen. There are so many variables and
28:52
and what it costs to build a home. So you could build a really modest home
28:57
I mean, a very spartan, very simplistic one story home, almost like a cottage that you would have in the UK
29:06
you could probably build one of those right now. I'm just taking a wild guess
29:12
um, $150,000. U si mean small and, I mean, small, I'm saying probably 1000 square feet
29:21
or less. Um, that would only be 100 and $50 a foot
29:26
So I, I have to believe that new home building prices. I'm trying to think what my daughter's
29:31
um, uh, new home was. If I did the math on her home
29:36
um, let's see, I'll try to do it real fast here because I pretty much know
29:42
Yeah, I'm way off on the $100 a square foot. There's no way. So, uh
29:46
let me turn this on. So, uh, divided by 20. Yeah
29:56
I think my daughter, but hers, hers was a nice place. Really great windows
30:00
Um, her, her cost per square foot and this was two years ago
30:05
$270asquarefoot.So,I'dsayforamodesthomerightnowyoumightbeabletogetitdonefor200asquarefoot
30:14
Just a wild guess. But you could easily spend 500 a square foot with
30:20
with not even a problem. Uh, you know, I mean, just that when you look at the price of windows right now
30:25
just the windows and doors, it just, it's mind blowing and we had a big problem here in the United States
30:31
Steve. Um, I don't know. I haven't, I haven't watched it lately because it's a commodity
30:36
It goes up and down. Uh, but lumber prices here in the United States about a year ago were
30:43
I think 400% higher than they had no normally were. And it was because of all the
30:48
the crushing mandates put on by the, uh, our government because of this
30:53
of the illness. I, I just call it the illness. All right, because that's all it is just
30:57
I mean, when you have something where 98.4% of the people survive
31:02
I mean, it's not, it's not really that serious yellow fever, serious
31:08
Back in the day, you get yellow fever, you had a one in two chance of dying 50% mortality rate
31:15
But when we're talking about an illness that has a 1.5% mortality rate
31:19
Are you serious? Come on. But anyway, uh it caused the price of lumber to go up way high
31:26
And I know it's come down but I don't know if it's come back down to where it's supposed to be
31:31
So let's just say $200 a square foot for starters. Uh if that answers your questions
31:38
Um All right. So uh here's missing says last summer we found 80 acres in Wisconsin wis Wisconsin
31:48
Minnesota border for 55 for 55,000, but it had no power roads
31:54
Yeah, that, that's exactly what I'm talking about. That's a great example. Missing
31:58
Um, great example. So bad location, you know, I mean, you have to have electricity or you have to have roads
32:06
All right, so bad, bad, bad. So that's a great example. So there no wonder that it was only priced at what
32:11
So what would it have been priced at 80? So it's priced at $700 an acre
32:15
So, um, uh, pharmacies. Well, they pharmacies, uh, I don't know that they're a big target here in America right now
32:23
I haven't heard of a lot of pharmacy break ins. Um, I mean
32:27
they've got all those horrible narcotics in them and, and, you know
32:31
the drug people need them. Um, the, the, the smash and grab stuff is going for high ticket
32:37
high price items, you know, very expensive stuff. Um, missing says the new house being built last summer was on an acre one for 330
32:47
K, 3 bedroom between a bath. Yeah, it would be nice to know how many square feet that was
32:51
you know, just, just do the math on the outside shape of the house to find out the finished square footage
32:58
And, uh, uh, William. Hi, Will. How you doing? Have I ever built a small tiny house
33:03
I have not built one. I have built, I, I tell you what I did build
33:08
Uh, I can look at it through the window here. It's up on the hill above me
33:13
I built a shed that would, that would be just like a little tiny house
33:17
It was only 16, it's 16 ft wide, 24 ft deep, uh which is a very nice modular shape
33:25
Uh And if you, if you take a piece of paper, if you take 16 by 24 and it's two story
33:31
it's got a staircase going up to the, to an attic. Um You can do a lot with 16 by 24
33:37
I mean, you can put a bathroom in a small, a very small
33:41
a compact kitchen, a wide open living area and a, a small
33:45
a very small bedroom. But in that particular shed, which could easily be converted to a
33:51
um, a small house. Um, what I, the mistake I made but I was in a rush
33:56
I, I just wanted it for storage, but whoever buys this house
34:00
I'm going to tell them they should, they should make a big dormer up there
34:05
I mean, it's got a nice 1212 pitch roof. So you could put a dormer up
34:10
you could put two of men, two dormers like opposing dormers on up and attic and make a ginormous room
34:17
I mean, oh, it'd be spectacular. Oh, my gosh. And it would be simple to do
34:22
I mean, a good carpenter. Like if you and I and Steve, like if you
34:25
if you guys came here, uh, and we got the stuff out of the way we could
34:30
we could easily frame and roof inside those dormers in, uh, in 67 days would be done
34:36
I mean, it's simple. So, anyway, uh, I mean, and then you'd have 16 by 24 and then probably the rest of the living space
34:45
would be usable would be, I don't know, 16 by 24 is what
34:50
that's, uh, 2 4300. Probably it, probably 506 100 square feet in this little place
34:55
Anyway, uh, it would be fun to build a little house. And actually
35:00
I would like to do that and create this massive video series of the entire project
35:07
That would really be a fun. In fact, what I found get this before I went live today
35:15
Um So I had, I had recorded 100 maybe 100 and 5200 videos that were part of that shed building project
35:23
They are almost all of them are on my youtube channel, but, you know, it takes a while to find them
35:28
Anyway, the last thing I did in the project was the, the shed was completely finished and I had to build the staircase from the
35:37
first floor to the second floor. I never got around to cutting that video and just a
35:43
it was funny just about two weeks ago, I stumbled across it on this computer that I'm on
35:49
I went, oh my gosh, look at all that video footage. And so
35:53
um after Christmas, uh or maybe during the maybe during the week between Christmas and New Year's
35:59
I might cut that video. It's gonna be unbelievable. Wait till you see this flipping video
36:04
It could be end up being because, because I i it's a two part video
36:09
It's, it, it starts out where this set of steps you go up
36:14
then you go around these winders, then you go up again. So the first thing I had to do was build the winders
36:19
And so II I recorded probably, oh my gosh, 25 minutes of just building the winders
36:26
Anyway, where do you see those videos? So the video series to build this tiny house would be
36:35
I'm sure other people have already done it. All right, but I tend to go into much more detail
36:39
It could be, I'm, I'm just guessing it could be 400 hours of video
36:48
It's a lot. All right, let's catch up with the comments. Um So
36:56
uh you say William says I'd like to build a small tiny house, say 20 or 20 or 20 by 30
37:00
So that's not very small. Just so, you know, I mean, uh uh so um uh I mean
37:09
I mean, it is and it isn't, I mean, you know, a lot of houses are 2000, 3000 square feet
37:13
So you're a 20 by 30 would be um you know, 600 square feet
37:18
Here's what, here's the first step though. William, here's how you do it. So
37:22
well, this is kind of an interesting bifurcation here uh of the uh of the stream
37:27
Um uh uh So anyway, um don't ever start your project
37:37
in your head like that. Uh William, meaning I want a 20 by 30 house
37:41
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What you do is you go into your existing home room by room
37:51
and, and you, you, you seriously look at each room and you go
37:56
for example, you go my living room, my living room, it's too big. It sucks
38:00
It, I've got this wasted space in the living room and, and you can actually take your furniture and you could start to say
38:07
slide it in away from the walls, get the furniture closer together to where it's still comfortable
38:14
but you're not all cra crowded in. All right. So now what would be the new size of the living room
38:20
All right. So you, you can see what I mean. You, you could see where you could create a new boundary of the living room
38:26
and you do the same thing for every room because you're gonna certain rooms in your current house are too big and my guess is
38:32
certain rooms are too small. So now you have the room sizes and now what you do is you put them to
38:41
you, you make scale cutouts of this and you start to slide them together and then you have to figure out your hallways
38:49
You know how you connect and get between the things and my recommendation
38:53
Always keep this in mind, it won't eat up that much space that all too often you go into people's homes and you walk down
38:59
a hallway and you go, man, this is narrow and the reason is
39:03
is because it's the code minimum. The code minimum here in the United States is 3 ft
39:07
So the minimum you should make hallways is 3 ft six inches wide
39:12
wall to wall and it's better if you go 4 ft. So, so just have wider hallways
39:18
you'll never ever regret that. And I mean, and, and in a hallway, 8 ft long
39:23
all you're adding is eight square feet, you know, to the, to the project big deal
39:27
All right. So don't, don't, don't make the hallway small. And then another
39:31
here's another quick tip that, um, all too often I see in homes like bedroom doors
39:40
they always put the wrong bedroom door in the architects specify a 2 ft six and Steve
39:45
I don't know what I know you do things metric over there, but here our doors are 2 ft six
39:52
they, they're, they're, they're even inches and two inch increments of, of and then they're 6 ft eight inches high
39:58
But the point is I, I could translate that to millimeters and, and I
40:02
I understand that or, or meters, but, um, they don't, in your case
40:06
it'd be a, a fraction of a meter because I mean, a, a meter is three point
40:10
it's 3039 inches. So anyway, always make bedroom doors 2 ft eight
40:17
minimum, 2 ft eight. Almost always you'll find that they're 2 ft six
40:21
No wonder you have such a hard time getting furniture in and out. And then the other thing is
40:26
you know, the in, in our doors here, like here, I'm pointing to the lock set right here
40:32
Uh the factory, they pro pre drill a hole, you know, for a tubular lock set and all too often they drill that hole
40:41
the backs set of two and 3/8 inches. Well, make it, make it two and three quarter
40:47
That's this. You, you can get the latches to do either one because what happens with the two and 3/8 when you put your hand
40:53
on the knob right here, your knuckles rub against the wood here and
40:58
and it's really uncomfortable. So, always go with two and three quarter inch back set
41:02
So that's a little tip that, um, it just, I, I should, you know
41:06
that's all that stuff that's up here. That's got to come out. All right. So, um
41:11
let's get caught up William. Uh Yeah, please do it. Well, here's the trouble. So let's get back to Williams asking me to do the
41:16
video series in the small house. So here's, here's what that would encompass
41:22
Somebody has to put up the money to buy the lot and buy all the materials
41:29
All right, and then you have to hire a videographer. All right
41:36
because I, I, if you're gonna do this thing, you're gonna do it, right
41:39
All right. So the videographer has to be there and I, I don't know what the day rate right now for videographer is
41:46
It's gotta be 700 bucks. It's gotta be. So, I mean, you're talking about a very expensive video series and then to
41:55
cut all that footage, all my the post production time. Typically this
42:03
this varies. But um for every, for every hour of video, you
42:10
I wanna just do it minutes for every minute of video, like on my channel
42:16
like when, even when I do my own post and I've gotten really good at it and the
42:20
and, and, and I can shorten it up because I know when I shoot the video
42:24
things that will help and post anyway, for me, every minute of finished video you see um
42:33
on my channel, took me at least 15 minutes of total time
42:40
All right. So a three minute video is 45 minutes of post-production
42:44
So who's gonna pay for all that post production to pay somebody to do it
42:48
I mean, you're talking hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars to make that huge set of videos
42:56
which is precisely why when you go out on youtube, you don't see it
43:02
It's a huge financial undertaking and then it's on the if come
43:06
So, so who wants to invest. I don't know, let's just say $500,000 to make this video series on small houses on the
43:14
if come or hope that it's gonna sell, that you'll even make back your money
43:22
I, you know, that's, that's what happens when, when you've been an independent businessman
43:26
like me all these years. I, I don't listen, I only hope for things that I can't control
43:30
Like, I hope about the weather, but I don't hope about business decisions
43:36
All right. Um, all right. Um, that was for Steve to see the tax and they would be hi
43:45
All right. So William, I could get by with a lot smaller 60 by 20. You, you might get by
43:49
But William here, I'm serious. This would be a fun, this would be a fun weekend exercise
43:53
It would only take you an hour to do. This is actually go room by room to your house
43:59
You already know which rooms are too small or which ones are too big and then come up with this and then just get some
44:06
you can go online or you can buy it at the store. You know, the old fashioned quarter inch graph paper
44:10
Just make cutouts, make these scale cutouts where a quarter inch equals a foot
44:16
And now you've got this little cut out of your living room and it doesn't matter, don't worry about the shape if you
44:21
if you want your living room to be rectangular, make it rectangular. All right
44:24
And, um, and then start, start working in these things out and create the hallways and you're gonna see how big the
44:31
the house is gonna be as simple as that. You know. Um
44:36
anyway, um, Steve says I'm old enough to remember in purer measurements
44:42
So I'll bet there's no chance of us going back to it now that we've left. Yeah, exactly
44:46
I mean, you know what, um, metric is it? I mean, metrics cool
44:53
You know, because it's, it's so easy to work with from a
44:57
from a computational standpoint, you know, because it's, it's all, you know
45:02
decimals, you know, it's all 10, you know, it's a 10 base, right
45:06
So 10, well, you know, you, you, you know what I mean
45:10
In other words, you know, you've got 10 millimeters, uh 2030 you know
45:15
um uh you know, a meter is what a meter is. Isn't that fun
45:20
1000 millimeters, I guess. Yeah, it's gotta be a meters 1000 millimeters
45:24
So, so, whereas here in America, um th this is kind of a fun story
45:30
So, um it's so complex to use our system, you know, where you have fractions of an inch
45:36
like an eighth of an inch, uh uh you know, a quarter of an inch
45:40
a half, whatever. So, back in the day when, um, you know
45:46
I was working with my buddies, you know, my fellow carpenter guys, we would play a game
45:51
I mean, we would, you know, we, we, we would do a game like there would be one guy up high who was taking measurements
46:00
and he might yell back. Like in other words, the, the, he might need a board cut
46:05
I don't know, 4 ft and three quarter inches. So he, you know
46:10
while he's doing that in his head, he goes, um, you know
46:15
he, he would go, um, so I'm, I'm trying to do it really fast
46:19
So 60 he would go, I need 4 ft and 4864. You know
46:24
where, where, you know, you have to do the math to, to bring that back down to three quarters of an inch
46:29
So, and then, you know, get wild, you know, we would go out to the 128th of an inch
46:34
I mean, just, just crazy stuff, you know. So that's how, that's what carpenter
46:38
young carpenters do, you know, to try to tease and, and, and throw off one of the carpenter buddies
46:44
So, so we would do stuff like that, but you really can't do that easily
46:48
Well, I guess you could do it in, in, uh, metric. You would just say something was really like a long board would be a
46:54
lot of millimeters. That's all, but it would be much easier to figure out than what we had to do
46:59
So, um, anyway, um, so that's where the, that's where these live streams go they just go all over the place
47:07
Remember if you like the livestream hit the like button, you know. Um, really helps us a lot
47:12
Um, what else did I want to tell you? Um, oh, gosh
47:17
so many things. Uh, but yeah, William, I think you now understand why you can't find video series
47:24
I mean, really in depth video series about things because they're so expensive to make
47:29
I mean, oh, my gosh. so expensive. Uh, hi. Will, how you doing
47:34
Um Will says, um, second floor dormer with 18 inch overhang occasionally gets ice damp
47:41
Even with ice shield under the shingles I roof r but hard to get to it could remove the
47:45
No. So, so that's, that is a great, I, I just, this is why I love these questions in the chat
47:53
So you've already, well, first of all, you've already solved the problem as long as the ice shield is under all
48:03
the shingles going up the roof, right? So, if you read, if you were to read all of my
48:10
um, ice stamp columns and watch my ice stamp videos on the website
48:15
you'll see that. I'm one of the few people that says ice stamps can happen anywhere and you
48:22
you know, they can, I'm here in my own home. I, I can, I can show you that on a steep roof
48:28
1212 pitch synthetic slate. You know, I rake as much as I can
48:33
I don't have to rake it, but sometimes I do, but I'll have an ice dam that will form 1415 ft up high on the
48:39
roof. All right. So, and I explained that in the columns, why it happens
48:44
All right. But guess what? I re roofed my house six years ago
48:49
there's gray ice and water shield everywhere. I don't care if there's ice dams
48:54
I don't care if the ice dams on my roof get 5 ft thick. I don't care, I'm not getting any leaks
49:00
So you shouldn't care either. In other words, if you have this ice shield under your
49:05
on that entire dormer roof doesn't matter, doesn't matter. You. So don't worry about it
49:11
Don't try to rake it off because the whole purpose of the ice and water sheet was put in correctly is it's supposed to stop
49:19
the leaks that the ice stamps creating that the ice, that the water dripping water will never get inside
49:25
So that's why it's such a wonderful product. I mean, talk about innovative
49:30
amazing products. Um, you know, when I, I should maybe do a column on that
49:35
um, actually I write myself a note. Uh, I kind of did one
49:41
years ago but I don't know that I went down that path. I have to look it up
49:44
But ice and water shield really, really innovative product. I mean, boy
49:51
I mean, I mean, a game changer. True game changer. All right. Uh
49:56
ok. Yeah, you're not sure if your ice show goes all the way up. Ok. That's a problem
50:00
See, so, um, you know, and surely don't hurt yourself trying to get that snow off
50:07
I mean, you know, anyway, um, uh, what did I want to say
50:15
So, here's another, here's another, um, he, here's the column I did that
50:20
that I, I kind of probably did this but it probably, I should probably update it
50:24
So if you go back and just look at older buildings, I've been so lucky to cut my teeth as a young remodeler carpenter builder
50:32
on old old buildings. And I, it's funny, I say old, I hear you laughing all the way across the flipping ocean
50:39
Steve. I get it. All right. You know, I call a building here that old
50:45
that's 100 and 20 years old. And I, and you could take me through parts of London that have got what houses that are 800
50:52
years old, probably, definitely out in, in the, in the out out
50:56
Uh, you know, the, out in the countryside, some really old places
51:00
All right. Um, here was a game changer. Here's another one. It was plywood
51:06
You wouldn't think much of it. And you know what's happened is Plywood now has been
51:09
it used to be the Bell of the Ball here in, in the United States, you know
51:13
back from the 19 fifties sixties. But then, um, the CEO s of lumber companies
51:21
you know, they, they saw all this waste that they had in their yard. So they decided to make Os B
51:27
you know, and so Os B has really pushed uh plywood, you know
51:31
oo out of the marketplace, you know, made plywood a little too expensive. Um But prior to Plywood
51:38
what carpenters would do is they would just take tongue and groove one by sixes
51:42
Um And, and have to have handle all these tongue and groove one by Sixes
51:46
nail them all in. Um So there's a lot of handling involved and prior to that
51:52
they just use wider boards, you know, like that weren't ton and groove, you know
51:55
like, uh one by 12, you know, for sub flooring or whatever
51:59
But it's really interesting to see some of the really great innovative products I would absolutely say in its day
52:05
Plywood was, I mean, a really big game changer, huge game changer
52:11
So, um cement board is another one. is another one. So anyway
52:16
um once again, I knew during the holidays that it would be light because people are busy doing other things
52:24
I get it. I totally get it. Um, ship lap. Well, uh no
52:30
that's not what ship lap is. So go, you know, go online
52:36
go to Google images and type in ship lap siding and you'll see pictures of it
52:39
That, that's what I would do will. Um Oh, let Steve says I'll bet you've had your
52:46
yeah, a fair few. Yes, I bet it had a lot of splinters and I'll show you what I used to get them out with
52:53
Um, a friend of mine, I'm gonna show you the absolute best splinter removal tool
53:01
I mean, you and you might not have ever thought about this. So
53:04
luckily, way back when I was in my thirties when I was really
53:08
really humping it. I mean, I, I had my daughter, my oldest daughter
53:13
went to preschool with another young girl and I be my, my wife and I Kathy and I became friends with
53:22
with Dave and, um, why can't I think of her name? Um
53:28
oh my gosh, that's horrible. Um, um, I can't remember her name
53:34
I'm so I'm gonna think of it in just a minute. It doesn't matter. So, Dave was the physician's assistant
53:38
So that's just like one step underneath being a doctor. And he worked at the largest
53:44
uh, he worked at one of the largest hospitals in Cincinnati in the emergency room
53:48
So, um, he gave me this one day. So, what is this
53:52
Um, it's really hard. It might be hard. I'm trying to hold it against something where you can see the definitely you can see it
53:58
now if I get it up close. So it's a 16 gauge Hypodermic needle
54:05
So it's a heavy one. This is the, this is the needle that they use
54:09
I, if you injure in the old days, I don't know that they do it anymore. But let's just say you hurt your knee
54:14
your knee swells up. It's got all this fluid in it and that fluid is causing all kinds of pain
54:19
So, they jab your knee with this damn thing. It's ha I've had it done
54:23
I know they jab this thing and they suck out all that fluid
54:27
All right. So these 16 gauge Hypodermic needles, if you can get one
54:33
they are so amazing to remove splinters. So the way you do it
54:38
uh, I could, I could almost demonstrate it here. I, well, it's really hard on the camera doing backwards
54:43
The whole point is, is that I become a pro at it. And actually my friend showed me how to do it
54:47
I, you know, I don't want to take full credit. So typically a splinter goes in
54:51
they rarely go in straight, like a bullet might go into your hand or finger
54:56
Although I've had those, those are horrible. They generally go in at an angle
55:01
So, what you do is you just take this Hypodermic needle and it's so sharp
55:05
I mean, oh my gosh, you don't wanna use a straight pin that's like using a straight pin to get a splinter out is like
55:12
using a, um, oh, I don't know, a stick like a stick from the woods
55:18
uh, to draw with II, I don't know. It's a really bad ogy
55:22
These things are so flipping sharp that you just go right next to the splinter and you
55:29
you just kind of slide the Hypodermic needle next to the splinter
55:34
And so what you're doing is your car, it's think of this is like a plow that a farmer would use to open a slit
55:42
in the ground. So you're just using this thing right next to the splinter
55:46
you open up a slit and the flap of skin opens up and you just
55:51
you just take the tip of the Hypodermic needle and slide the splinter out
55:55
It's, and it really doesn't hurt that bad at all. Believe it or not, it doesn't, it doesn't hurt that bad
56:00
And if, if, if it is starting to hurt, then what I always do is I always just take an ice cube and I just
56:05
I just ice my finger, ice the splinter and basically kind of desensitize the area
56:12
Uh, you know, make it really, really cold and, and which kind of numbs it and then take it out
56:18
I mean, I'm pretty good with it. I can tell you that, uh, my kids would never let me do it
56:21
They see the size of that needle and they freak out. So 16 gauge Hypodermic
56:26
Get one, go, go find one, do what it do, whatever you gotta do. All right
56:32
Um, yeah, maybe I could use a dry erase clipboard to show us some examples
56:38
Yes, that's a good point. I was, um, I'm working on that
56:41
I, what I'm trying to do is Uh, yes, you're exactly right. I could do that and draw and hold it up
56:46
So, um, there, there's a pundit on, on, on cable TV, here and that
56:50
that used to do that. People made fun of them. Um, but it's effective
56:54
it could work. So I'm gonna, that's a great thing. I'm gonna put that down. Um
57:04
got it. All right. Um, all right. So, um, yes, a lot of splinters
57:10
uh, but once you know how to get them out, it's not a big deal. And of course I would carry
57:15
I would have one of those Hypodermic needles with me in my truck
57:19
you know. So if I got an, a splinter during the day
57:23
I, I would just go get it out right away. So, um, and I had a pretty good first aid kit
57:28
um, because, you know, you know, it's really, it's, isn't it amazing how sensitive
57:32
uh, our fingers and our feet are? Uh, they've got so many interesting nerve endings
57:37
you know, that whole sense of touch. So that, boy, when you get
57:41
even when you get the tiniest little splinter in your hand, I mean
57:45
boy, it's, it doesn't take long for it to start to hurt, you know, becau it, it's just amazing
57:50
It's just amazing to me. So, um, uh, you gotta get them out or you just go nuts as simple as that
57:56
Um All right. So how much you type any last question or comment otherwise
58:03
I'm gonna, I'm gonna hit the road. I'm gonna get out of here once again, an hour went by
58:07
I just can't believe how it's 58 minutes we've been on. It's crazy. Crazy
58:11
Uh Hi, Show Biz. How are you doing? Um All right. Uh Yeah
58:17
and the fingernail. Oh yeah, those are the worst. Oh my gosh. Um let's see
58:23
Showbiz says, do you know how to fix a flooded pipe? Uh because as I get hit in the head with what
58:31
Uh so um I am um Showbiz, I am, I'm blanking on your situation
58:40
I I'm trying to picture what you're trying to describe and I don't understand it
58:45
You're gonna have to do a little bit better job of uh telling me how a flooded pipe is
58:54
It's hitting you in the head with water. I don't, I mean, don't, can't you turn off the water so that the water doesn't spray
59:00
you in the head? All right. So um so missing says I'm looking for roofing recommendations
59:08
So tell me if this is not what you're looking for. Um I'm getting you a link
59:22
Hold on, I've almost got it. I want you to look at this link
59:26
look at this page and tell me if read the first read the line that's right above the video
59:34
right on this page. Read the line that is right above the video and tell me if this is not what you want
59:42
Um I have a checklist. I think I have the exact checklist that you want because you just said that you have to hire it
59:49
out and you're a clueless homeowner. Right. So, I've, I've got the product
59:53
I actually have about 40 of them, um, for every single project around your home
59:57
So, tell me if this isn't exactly what you want missing. Um
1:00:02
you don't know where the valve is. Oh, that's no good. Um, well
1:00:08
we have to find the V I mean, you can't have this water squirting everywhere. So you have to find a
1:00:14
actually, this is a really great example. Um uh So get this Showbiz
1:00:21
go back and watch the video that I it's on my channel
1:00:26
Um Just type in um copper pressure and, and, and it's just so horrible that I
1:00:34
I have a hard time multitasking. So all the women that are watching this
1:00:39
you've got to be cracking up laughing right now. Um um I am trying to find
1:00:45
I know I've created a page about this on the website and it's got the video
1:00:49
but this is a really a great example. Here we go. Right here. I found it
1:00:53
I got it. I got it. All right. All right. Standby. Showbiz
1:01:01
Stand by Commander. Here we go. Here we go. All right. All
1:01:13
right. So Showbiz, I want you to watch that video. Uh do that right now
1:01:20
Here's what's fascinating about this copper press tool. So, in the old days let's just say you had a copper water line in your home
1:01:29
and something was going on it, it broke and you got water squirting out of this copper water line
1:01:36
And, and you're like, oh my gosh, how am I gonna stop the leak? Well
1:01:40
you can take up a wrench and you could, um, you can crimp the pipe and you could do this really crude repair and stop
1:01:48
most of the water pretty quickly. All right, but you're almost always gonna crack the pipe again
1:01:53
It's still gonna leak, but at least you'd stop a lot of the water. All right
1:01:58
Now, with these new, with this new technology, imagine this, when you're gonna see in the video
1:02:07
this ball valve. All right. So a ball valve is a really neat valve that allows for full flow of the
1:02:13
of the water through the, through the, through the valve. So, imagine if you had a water line
1:02:18
a copper water line that was that you could cut and have a nice clean cut
1:02:23
but it's squirting water like a fire hose. I mean, it's like crazy squat to water
1:02:29
So you'll be able to see using my video how simple you could stop that water
1:02:34
You'd be able to stop the water. And, um, I don't know, eight seconds
1:02:39
eight seconds because here's what would happen. The, the pipe is shooting the water out
1:02:43
You've got your tool ready. You've got the ball valve in your hand
1:02:47
You open the ball valve up. All right, you open it up. You're gonna get a little wet during the next step
1:02:53
Just a little wet. Not too much. And you take, and you take the ball valve and you quickly put it in the water stream
1:02:59
and slide it onto the pipe. All right, it's not gonna move
1:03:03
Water is now squirting through the ball valve. I mean, it's squirting through the ball valve
1:03:08
You can take a fingernail file, file your fingernails, buff them whatever
1:03:13
Get on your cell phone, make a phone call if you want. No worries. No, I'm just serious
1:03:17
I'm kidding. So, as soon as you got the valve on, you take the tool
1:03:23
you put it up on that ridge of, of the ball valve
1:03:26
you press the joint. Now you've made a, a leak proof connection between the ball valve and the copper tubing
1:03:35
The tool stops and you take your hand on the ball valve and shut it
1:03:40
The water stops. You could never do that. Soldering it. You cannot solder copper tubing while there's water in it
1:03:49
It just, you cannot do it right because you can't get the temperature of the pipe high
1:03:55
high enough to melt the solder. All right. So that's how you could fix this if
1:03:59
if you just need to go rent that copper press tool. Simple as that. Ok
1:04:03
Steve. Um Thanks for being here, buddy. Uh Thanks for being here
1:04:07
I appreciate it. I'll see you on Monday, hopefully. Um, uh All right
1:04:12
No, no worries. Show is I'm gonna be out of here too. I'm, I'm, I'm out of here. I've been on an hour and four
1:04:17
minutes, so it's crazy. Uh, so anyway, missing, I hope, uh, uh
1:04:21
let me know if you think that, um, roofing bed sheet is exactly what you want
1:04:27
Um, and, you know, I'm willing just, you know, I'm willing to give it to you for free
1:04:33
Um You have to do is email me, tell me who you are
1:04:37
blah, blah, you know, so I know who you are and then I'll just send you the thing. I think it would really be interesting
1:04:41
for you to come back and tell other people in the live stream next week what you thought of it
1:04:47
That'd be kind of cool. So um All right. Uh All right
1:04:52
good. You thank you Showbiz, but that's how you can fix that leak. Go watch that video
1:04:56
I just gave you the link to it. How to press cover tool. It's really amazing. All right
1:05:00
I will uh thank you for watching. Thank you. If you hit the like button
1:05:04
I appreciate it. I once again uh live streams, fun. Uh We go all over the place and um I had a great time and

1:05:37
Uh, we, um, oh, I, I, here, that's a great question. I was just gonna say that
1:05:42
Um, um, I will be on next Monday. Uh So the next two weeks are gonna be light
1:05:48
I'm only gonna be doing a live stream next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. And the same thing the following week
1:05:53
the week before Christmas and then the week between Christmas and New Year's no streaming because I
1:05:59
I use that as a planning week. It's kind of like a mini vacation
1:06:03
Um So only six more count 66 more streams until the end of the year
1:06:12
All right. So make them count, you know, be here. Um Yeah
1:06:16
I don't think we're supposed to get it. We're supposed to get a lot of rain tomorrow, not any snow. Uh So anyway
1:06:20
so Monday, I should be, I should be here at four o'clock, 4:04 p.m. Eastern
1:06:26
I, I should be here. The good Lord willing he's in charge, you know
1:06:31
So anyway, thanks for tuning in. Thanks for being here. Thanks for your comments
1:06:36
Thanks for your questions. As I always say, you are the rocket fuel for the ask the builder live stream
1:06:43
the live stream would be horrible if you did not type questions in because that's what keeps me going
1:06:51
That's, that's, that's how we get, what's up here, out, out to you
1:06:55
So I need your questions. Always, always keep that in mind. So
1:07:00
so what you should do, you, here's your job as you encounter your daily life around your house and you have problems
1:07:07
get, get one of these, you know, they make them smaller, get the old fashioned little pad
1:07:13
put it in your pocket or get out your phone. You know, they've got those apps
1:07:17
There's, there's a, I, I've got an app on my own phone called Notepad and just start typing the question down
1:07:22
Otherwise you're gonna forget it. So you should be able to come to the live stream with 34 or five different questions because you're gonna
1:07:29
have questions every day. So, anyway, thanks very much. That's what you have to do
1:07:33
You gotta write them down. So you remember them as simple as that. There's no and
1:07:37
and one of the Tom Clancy books, if you remember that he had in the book, his wife
1:07:41
the wife of Jack Ryan said, if it's not written down, it didn't happen
1:07:45
All right. So that was actually the whole premise of, of, of one of the books
1:07:50
So, anyway, thanks so much for being here. I will be here if everything goes well next week
1:07:56
And um, I hope you'll be here too, so, have a wonderful weekend
1:08:01
