It says I'm live, so I guess it is
0:05
How are you doing today? I'm Tim Carter, founder of Ask theBillow.com
0:09
And today is Ask Anything Friday. I did this at the suggestion of my son who recommended that, you know, there are different themes, you know, that you don't do the same thing every day
0:24
And this is your opportunity to have just a relaxed, conversation with me, you can ask me anything you want. Just let's stay away from all the hot
0:36
button topics, really. I mean, we don't need to go there. Okay. So if you've got any questions about
0:43
you know, how I run Ask the Builder, anything about my background, my hobbies, you know
0:52
where I've been, whatever it might be, you know, I'd like to, you know, I'd like to have that
0:58
conversation with you. The photo that I used today for the thumbnail, hey, how you doing there
1:05
Lemon How you know it great So the photo that I used today for the thumbnail was a really interesting one artillery fungus if you never heard of it before And it you know Mother Nature is really pretty amazing
1:24
when you think about it. There's this, you know, fungus that grows in mulch, just like the
1:30
mulch you may buy. It's really kind of regulated to certain ones. But when it explodes the spores
1:40
like a giant artillery or like a rocket. And think about this. This tiny spore can shoot
1:46
these tiny little dots, these tiny little sticky globs up 15 feet in the air. It's crazy
1:54
So anyway, artillery fungus, that's the photo that I used today for the thumbnail. And it afflicts
2:01
a lot of people. And here's the bad part. It's really hard to clean off. Not easy. Not easy
2:06
You have to rehydrate it and rehydrate just simply means, you know, you get it wet
2:13
So it's, you know, and that's the way you clean a lot of things
2:19
In other words if you got you know plates and dishes where the food has dried and you didn get to them for a week or two or three if you just kind of soak them in some water magic happens And all of a sudden most of the time the food then scrapes off really easily
2:37
So use water to your advantage, simple as that. Okay, remember today is if you got any questions
2:43
at all, just chat them to me. By the way, if you're viewing the stream, and I hope I have this
2:52
set up right. I have to go through this process to get the stream going. And one of the questions
2:58
they ask is who is allowed to comment. And I say everyone, meaning, you know, it means it says anyone
3:09
are just subscribers. So now that I think about that, that means anyone with a YouTube account
3:13
So if you want to comment, you know, chat me something, you have to have a YouTube account. I'm
3:19
99.999% positive. And it's easy to set one up and you don't have to upload a video
3:26
There are thousands and thousands of YouTube accounts out there that don't have any videos on them
3:32
Ah, okay, I remember your video with the copper and the moss. Yes, yes, correct
3:38
So the video you talking about that probably the trailer that plays on my channel And interestingly enough about five years ago sickers ago I was the first person in the world to discover that copper slows down the oxidation of asphalt shingles
4:01
All right. So we've known for years, I mean, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years, man has known that copper is a natural
4:09
buy a side. And, you know, that means it's just a natural poison. That's why they used to nail
4:16
and they still do, they would nail sheets of copper on the hulls of the clipper ships, because
4:21
it would prevent the barnacles from growing on the, on the wood of the hall. And when the
4:26
barnacles grow on the hull, it slows the ship down when it sails through the water. So the
4:32
captains of the clipper ships and the owners, they made a lot more money. The faster those ships sail
4:38
simple as that. And old iron sides down in Boston, Boston Harbor, it's got copper on it
4:44
So anyway, so, you know, if you put copper up on your roof and every time the sun hits it
4:50
it breaks a little bit of the copper off, and then the rain washes it off, and then you get
4:54
copper down on your shingles. Well, that prohibits the growth of mildew and algae
