AsktheBuilder - Tim Answers Your Question LIVE

Hey, good morning, YouTubers

Tim Carter here. And we are, I'm trying to get this software

I think I might have it worked out here. It's a little complex. And it's very interesting to see the live how the live that's really kind of, it's got

to delay to it so it might freak me out just a little bit if you are watching oh yes we've got some

people here's what i'm trying to get set up and i could use your help uh this is the last thing to make

this all work wonderfully aside from cleaning up behind me my office i'll make that look better next

one um i am trying to get i want you to send me a question uh so that i can help you around your home

and on the screen that i'm looking at here my like master control panel I can see where people can chat to me but you may not see it on your

screw there we go hey Pat bingo whatever you doing tell me what you doing Pat are you watching the video on a browser or are you watching it through a YouTube app So I think the trouble yesterday is that people were watching this live stream on their smartphones and there no comment capability via the app from a video that I watched about 30 minutes ago here on YouTube

Anyway, so the whole point of what I'm trying to do right now

is I'm going to start doing live broadcasts at least three times a week, maybe five times a week

if it really works out well. And because of this whole virus outbreak, a lot of suffering going on

You might not get people at your house. You might not want people at your house. And so you might

have to try to fix something yourself. I might be able to tell you whether you can just wait on an item

So that's what this is all about. In other words, I'm trying to help you if you are at home and you need help

It's that simple. So, but I don't have ESP. So I need you to send me your question

Okay so Pat on your iPad Good Okay Pat So we try this with Pat So Pat if you have any type of question about something around your house that needs to be fixed

type it in the chat and then I'm going to do my best to answer it. While Pat's doing that or while you might be doing it

here is something I'll share with you. So I, about a month ago, I started getting a lot of

people hitting me up about a company called roofmax and they wanted to know if it was any good

It is a product where a company called roofmax, they have franchises all around the United States

They come and they can spray onto your roof this solution. It's made from soybeans and it supposedly magically restores your asphalt shingles so they don't fall apart so quickly

I wrote a book about that. It's called Roofing Ripoff. You can go to Amazon and look at it. You can go to roofing ripoff.com. Actually, I'll show you a copy here. Stand by

So I try to So yeah so there the I try to not to get that glare So this is a book I wrote about four years ago

And I described in the book what I found out to be the case

why your asphalt shingles are falling apart. Okay, anyway, it really comes down to the fact that the asphalt that is used..

in to make the shingles is the manufacturers are blown too much air into it

And it's a long, long story. But here's what I discovered when I was doing the research for the book

and it's actually early on, I found out quite by accident that if you put a copper strip, maybe 10 inches, 6 inches, 9 inches of copper

very thin copper. It doesn't have to weigh a lot. It doesn't have to be really expensive

At the top of your shingles, like right underneath the ridge cap, every time it rains, some copper comes off of that strip, and it goes down and it connects to the asphalt on your roof, and it keeps the asphalt young and supple
