AsktheBuilder - Tim Answers Questions - LIVE

Okay, YouTubers

This is another test. Trying to work out the final bugs, and I think we've got it

We're going to have some fun here, I think. So let's kind of get started, and I want to see if I can kind of do this like I would normally do a normal live broadcast

So the first thing I want to do is, of course, thank our sponsor

today. And that would be Stain Solver. Great Creek Company. And the reason I know

it's a great company is because I own it. It's a really great product

It's a certified it's a certified organic oxygen bleach and it cleans anything that's water washable

Check out these before and after photos. One day we'll We'll spend more time with it, but those are some really, really interesting, dramatic before and after photos

So just go to Stainsellor to learn more Okay so what I want to do now is I want to I got a really great email question I just want to test and really pretty good

It came from Paul in Warrenton, Pennsylvania. And Paul says, when I work on the plumbing in my house, just say to change some old vows, and I shut off the water coming into my house for several hours, how do I protect my electric water heater

The reason Paul is asking about that is because if you have ever gone to change the elements in an electric water heater

if you make the mistake and put a new element in and then turn the water heater on before you have filled it with water

you immediately burn them up. So the answer to Paul's question is, is that as long as the water heater has got water in it

and you don't drain the water heater down, you've not got a problem

For example, so here I've got, if you can see that, this is the top of a traditional water heater

Right up here, if you're seeing my mouse, that is a shut off valve

So if you want to protect the water heater for whatever reason you can shut that valve off And just don drain any water out of the water heater and you should be okay

I mean, it's really that simple. So that's how you protect it

Paul, simple as that? Nothing to it. Okay, so it looks like the stream is working really well

I can see it. My issue is here is that there's a delay, a pretty significant delay, in what goes on here

So once again, if you have any questions, you want to ask me questions

just go to AskTheBuilder.com, and there's an Ask Tim page. You can submit your questions there, and I will do my best to answer

Sure. Put them on here on the show. So just go to AskTheBuilder.com, go to the AskTim page, and bingo

Just submit your questions there. And it's really going to help a lot if you've got photographs

I can tell you that right now. So anyway, if you have a, if you want to comment right now, you can

There Luis Hey Luis he says how it going It going great I think this is going to be a lot of fun I trying to do this I decided to do this to help people in this current crisis that it really a world crisis

People are suffering all over the world. But people are quarantined at home because of the virus, and they maybe have to get work done on their home

They can't bring people in. They're afraid of getting infected. So if you've got concerns like that

and you want to know if there's something you can do yourself or can you, is it safe to just let the work wait

Hey, Roger, how you doing? It's working great. Yeah, the chat works fantastic

So anyway, that's what we're doing this for. That's why I'm doing these live broadcasts

to try to help you get over the hump until we can kind of get back to some sense of normality here in the country

And also, I just want to... I sent this out to my newsletter subscribers
