What is Hydrated Lime - It's Magic! - LIVE Stream 01-19-2022 Ask the Builder

Hi, I'm Tim Carter. This is Ask the Builder. Welcome. How are you today? I am happy to be here. And I even looked in the mirror and got my hair fixed a little bit. What do you say about that? I'm going to paste in really quickly what we're going to talk about today. This is a book that is a hundred and, I don't know, 105 years old maybe, maybe 115 years old. Let me hear

see here. Really a fascinating book. It might be a little too technical for you. I'm trying to get

the, here it, copyright 1915. So 107 years old, 107 years old. So what I'm talking about, I know the glare

It's got a better cover. When you click that link, you're going to see better cover. Hydrated

lime, history, manufacture, and uses in plaster. mortar and concrete. Hard to read backwards on the screen

And this is a really interesting book. It's not that long. I got a lot of interesting photos It could easily serve as a textbook in a college classroom But you could skip past the complicated parts and you know you get the gist of it

But it shows you how to make lime mortars. It's really an amazing book, to be honestly

If remember how the live stream works here, if you happen to be new, the way the live stream works

is I feed off of your questions and your comments. Hopefully you've got a YouTube account

If you have a YouTube account, then you're allowed. You have permission to comment, you know, over on the writer and the chat box

I think they call it chat, whatever. And you can drive the topic

In other words, the reason I do these live streams is I'm here simply as an unpaid expert

and no matter what problem you're having with your home, I'll do my best to help you solve it

No charge. You can't beat that, right? Make sure you do it

Make sure you go ahead and chat if you can. But the problem is you if you don have a YouTube account you stuck And you can get a YouTube account It free You don have to upload any video There are millions of YouTube accounts that have no videos uploaded It just you have to come up with

a username and good luck with that because, you know, all the standard ones are long gone

You know, I can tell you that right now. So it'll be really interesting to see what your

username might be. Let's talk a little bit about, um, another book that you should get, and you can get it for free, and I will put that link in here in

just a minute. So you can get this book that I wrote for free. Roofing Ripoff. It's about why your

asphalt shingles are falling apart and what you can do to make them last 40 or 50 years

It's a really small book, really easy to read. You can see how the spacing is on the lines

It's just, you could bang through this book in an hour, nothing to it. And it's not. And it's not

a textbook. It's actually kind of written a little bit like a, like a little bit of a murder mystery

I'll put the link in so that you can get it right now. Here's the link to get that e-book and you also

get seven other free files So you get lots of free stuff Can beat that right Lots of free stuff Just go there go to that link and good luck Get the free roofing rip e and you going to be blown away It really

really simple what to do. I was just outside before. It's still cold here. I think the weather

forecasters really got it wrong here today in New Hampshire, where I am. I'm in still New Hampshire

I live right on the shore of Lake Winisquam. Lake Winiswam froze over a week ago

And it was beautiful, beautiful, epic ice, just clear as glass, smooth as glass

It was that way for four days. And then Monday morning, you know, early in the morning

the snow came. And we got about, we got about 11 inches, but then we got some rains so it compacted it down to about eight or seven

Thus, the ice is all snow covered now. And you're not going to see that clear ice again

It's over. It's done. Because even if it rained, if we got a big heavy rain, what happens is it just the layer of slush that's on top of the clear ice just turns to this cloudy ice

It's a shame. I was hoping that we weren't going to get any snow because, boy, if it would have just gotten another four inches thicker, which would have..
