The Future of Ask the Builder - Gaze Into the Ball - LIVE Stream 04-02-2022 Ask the Builder

Good morning. I'm Tim Carter and you're watching as the Builder. And this is a

uh, this is kind of a new time for a live stream

It's, um, 815 in the morning here, Eastern time on the east coast

right here in central New Hampshire. I'm up here in the Man Cave and I'm glad you're here

Uh If you have, this is, this can be kind of a unique uh, live stream

gonna give you kind of a peak of, uh where the future of

uh, ask the builder is going to be what's gonna happen and I'll give you some context as to as to how we got here

what, what uh what, what could cause this live stream to happen

Uh But first of all realize if you have uh any questions about your home

that really don't have anything to do with the future Vasa Builder. Feel free to put it in the chat

If you're, um, if you happen to have a youtube account, you're gonna be able to use the chat

If you are watching the live stream and you, uh, you don't have a youtube account

Uh, I think it's pretty much impossible for you to enter anything in the chat

Uh And if you, if you don't have a youtube account, it's easy to get one

You don't have to upload a video to, to um to have one. Your

your biggest challenge is going to be coming up with a user name because uh I don't know how many users they're on

on youtube, but there have to be millions, 100 maybe hundreds of millions of people

So if you think your name is available to, you know, as a user name

think again. Hi, Jimmy, how you doing? Great that you're here. Um OK

The um, let me, uh once again, I'll just remind you if you just happen to tune in

If you have any questions about your home, I don't care what they are

Uh just type it in the chat uh that, you know, I do, I do these live streams to help you save time and money

That's, you know, I invest my time to help you simple as that. Uh Nothing

no, there's nothing hard about this and uh happy to do it. The uh sometimes though the question that you ask maybe a little too

complex, I may need to get more information. I may need to see photos. We may have to kick it up to

to a phone console, but that doesn't always happen. Let's talk a little bit about the future of as the builder

Ok. That's why you're here probably, here's what happened. The, um, kind of goes back in time

II, I guess, um, might have been eight years ago. I did a

I did a deck stain test and I had II, I had decided to

I, I was getting so many emails from people that they, they wanted to know

They were, they were so frustrated with deck seers and many years ago

like 25 years ago, uh, I had discovered quite by accident a really good deck ser at the time and it was made by a

small company, uh, in Richmond, Indiana and it was a penetrating, uh

DEXI and the, there weren't many of the deck sealers at the time were that way

And the, the problem is is that when you apply a, typically when you apply a penetrating a deck sealer

the, the finish is, is kind of a matte finish. And, um

it, it was acceptable. And, um, but as time went on and I have no

I have no, I have no data to prove this. You, you know

you would have to have hacked into the manufacturer's websites which is illegal

uh, to find out their inter office communications and, and their plans

But if it's anything like the shingle industry, uh, because I, if you

if you're not aware of it, I wrote a book about why your asphalt shingles are falling apart so quickly

Um, I had a deep throat source for that book. And a person that was very

very, very high up in the asphalt shingle industry. And he told me the truth of what was going on that

that you can get, you can read all about it at Roofing Rip off.com. I'm not here to really try to sell that book

I'm just trying to tell you that. I know that there were some very unethical practices going on in one home improvement industry that

automatically makes me suspect that there might be unethical practices happening in other verticals such as deck sealers

Fast forward to 10 years ago. Hi, Elaine. Good morning. It's great that you're here

What do you know? Um, I didn't know that you had a youtube account

What do you know? That is amazing. Good for you. Um, as I said

the, the deck sealer industry I think started to transition about 13 years ago

I have, I, I just kind of saw it happen. And one thing that is a commonality is that most people

you may be one of them are very disappointed with the, with the

the performance of the deck seers, meaning they only last for like a year or two

So some fail in just months. And I'm not, I, you know, I, so I decided to do a test

Um, I decided to do a test and this was like I said

89 years ago, I, I think I got 13 or 15. I don't know

I got I got a lot of stains. I, I went out and bought a bunch, some companies donated them

But I had to, I, I put out a lot of money and a lot of time and I, I cut pieces of both treated

lumber and cedar because those are the two most common, um, woods

Uh, I applied the stain. I took photos. I, I did, it went to

it was a lot of work. I'm telling you it was a huge amount of work. Uh I amounted them to a test board

Uh I, because I've been to like, I've been to the Paint Quality Institute, I've seen how they do actual test panels

uh that, uh uh you know, out in the field, just like you see uh solar photovoltaic panels

Uh uh Many te paint companies do these very specific testing methods

but I, I decided to just lay it flat just like your deck would be because that's gonna be the best test

And a year later I published the results, right. So a lot of work

a lot of work went into this and at the time, the one that did the best

Well, here's what happened, understand that there was a big transition in deck sealers and instead of them being flat and matte finish

many of them were shiny, they were glossy and to, to, to do that

they, they transition from being a penetrating product like a traditional interior wood stain

All right. In, in other words, a traditional interior wood stain. If you stain wood, you apply the stain and it soaks into the wood

All right. And then you may coat it with varnish in the old days or coat it with clear urethane

Now today, so I immediately saw that these all had a shiny finish after they dried

And so that told me right away, most of these were now film performers, meaning there was a film that formed on the surface and

that just like paint. So paint is a film form. It's the ultimate film form

In other words, when you, when you paint something, you apply a film to whatever you're covering

be it wood, a plastic metal. Like in other words, the paint on your car is a film on the

on the metal. All right, publish those results. And at the time

believe it or not, the, the, the, the one that did the best was a film form made by beer and beer is an independent

paint company. It was at the time, I don't know if it's since been sold

but they primarily sold their products at Home Depot. It's not at the time I did this test

Behr was not owned by Home Depot. It was not a house brand and

and subsequently that bear product did fail it peeled off, but after a year

it looked pretty good. And then, um then what happened is my doc uh

I lost four of my dock panels. I have a dock that goes into my lake and

and there was a horrible storm one night and four of the panels came up

the, the waves got underneath the dock, lifted the panels up the wind

Who knows what happened to him? Who, who knows? They either shattered them or they drifted down the lake

Um, you know, maybe Charlton Heston was using him, you know, to film a scene of an upcoming movie

Who knows the, um, that was a joke. Fred Hoffmeister's here. Are you kidding me

Uh George H no. Sound of video. Guess what? George? That's problems that you're in

Uh All right. Hi, Elaine. Uh Charles Morrison. Hello? Hi. All right

Charles. All right. So, anyway, uh thanks for checking in. Everyone really surprised to see Fred here

Fred boy, an old time youtube user to have your name. Wow

that's great. They, so I had to get a new do. I had to put

build new panels. I had to build new panels and this was two years ago. So I had to buy some brand new cedar wood

and the, my previous doc, my panels, whoever built them. Uh Well

I, I know who it was Center Harbor Dock and Pier. They, they had coated the panels with a film farmer and so they were

starting to peel and it looked horrible and I thought I'm done with it

I am, I'm gonna try to find a product, uh that is not a film form

There's gotta be an old fashioned penetrating, you know, deck stain. So off

I went to try to find it and I think I found it. So two years ago I had

I had to rebuild the dock panels. Uh I couldn't get the lumber and the exact length I wanted

I had to buy it a little longer. So I ended up with these pieces of scrap about

I don't know about this long. I bought the stain. Uh I applied it

My daughter helped me. I decided to do a test. I decided

I thought, ok, let's see how well this really holds up. And I applied the stain just exactly as they said

I applied it to the dock panels. I applied it to this one test section

I, you know, it's an exact same piece of wood I left

left him outside to dry for a day. And the next day I took that s sa sample piece and I brought it into my

couch and I put it underneath my workbench. All right. So I wanted it out of the light

I didn't want any weather to get on it. I just wanted it hidden. All right

because that was gonna become the control because I thought, OK, we're gonna see how well this

this stain really does. So two years went by. So here it is

Now the, the, the stains been down 22 months and I, um

decided, ok, this spring I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do a video to show people how well it's done because it's surprising to me

it's really surprising how well the stains held up could last another year

Maybe two, easily, maybe, maybe, maybe two more years. That's four years

That would be unheard of unheard of to. I had one of my subscribers

All right. So let me, let me, let me keep going. I announced this in my newsletter

It, it seems like a month ago I announced it, it was just last week. Yeah

And I, I decided that I was gonna, it, it, oh, you need to know that in 10

8 years ago when I did the other test, I charged people for the results. They, they paid just like you would go to consumer

reports. And so people paid was not a lot of money. I don't

I don't know what it was. $7.08 dollars, $9. I don't know. And

uh, so I, I said, ok, instead of me just guessing at what's a fair price

I think I'll ask, I'll ask my subscribers to my newsletter. All right

you may be one and I, I do that last week and I

I put in, uh, you can actually see it. Let me, let me show you where it was

uh, you know, uh, you know, you, you may already know, but I'm just gonna find it for you and paste the link in

I'll share what the survey was so you can see the differences

Um It was a, here we go. I'm trying

to pull up the link so I can paste it in for you. Here we go. All right

Here's, here's where the service. Hello, Louise. Um Andrew. I'll get with

your question just a second. I um gave people a choice. So

uh well, here's what you also need to know before I created that survey. I went online

I've been talking recently on my other live streams about inflation and how out of control pricing is

And, you know, I hadn't bought deck stain for a while. So I went and started to look and some of these deck stains

$50agallon,$50agallon.Hohohowmanygallonsdoyoudoyouneedfortheaveragedeck?Idon'tknow,fourorfive,you

know. So I, I, then I, I have a newsletter subscriber who lives not too far away from me

And he, he, he hired me three years ago for a, a big consult

uh, had a big problem with this builder and we, we kind of became friends and I've

since, you know, shared ice cream with him and his wife up in Bar Harbor

we've got a really neat relationship. He emailed me and says $50

Are you kidding me? He says I have to pay 100 and $2 for the stain I use and it only lasts two years and

I need 10 gallons. So this guy's spending $1200 on his deck every two years

So I go, so I thought, ok, is it worth $50 to find out a

a dexter? That may be a lot better. So, I, I, you can see in that survey that I

I just listed at, what? 5040 I don't know, 30 2010, I don't know

And then I put in there, this is the key. This is what I'm getting to. I put in there

It should be free with an unhappy face. Well, not unhappy, but like um like

are you serious? Should be free? That that was my intention when I put that in

So it was a real biased answer. So like a as of a few days ago

38% of my, the people that took the survey felt that it should

the results should be free. So this past Monday, once again, this is all the context leading

up to what the future of the builder is. That's so hang in here

hang in there. Um I, I asked my live, I told my live stream people about

this. I said, look at this, the results have been coming in for a day

And this 30 I said, should I ask these people why they think it should be free

And 80% of the people on the live stream said yes, because I

you can conduct a poll here. It's really pretty. It's a lot of fun. It's, it's kind of a weak tool but you

you can, you can do a poll. And the, um, so the next day I

I do this poll, I just say, tell me why you think it should be free

So, the answers came in and they were just, some of them were just shocking

They hi, I just was like looking, I'm like, you can't be serious

And uh so I started to think about it and then I also uh contacted a

a really good friend of mine. Um, his name is David Lawrence and he's a big Hollywood actor

I've known David for about 20 years and we're really good friends and um whenever II I

um whenever I like, shake my head and go and need it

need like a hard reset. In other words, like if you have to, if your phone starts stack funny

it's best to turn it off completely, turn it off, let it rest for five minutes

turn back on. So a hard cold reset, you know, cold boot and do the same thing with your computer

Do the same thing with your modem, do the same thing with your router. Um and things work a lot better

So I, every now and then I do a cold reboot with David and David basically said

Tim stop. He said this is this past week he goes, I've told you for years that you've got the best home improvement

content on the internet. No one can come close to you. You know

And I mean, I'm saying that and trying to, trying to not sound pretentious

All right, this is David saying that. And uh he, he just says

you, you, you should never ever feel ashamed for, for charging people a very fair price for

for, for, for knowledge that that's gonna save them time and money. So I

I couldn't, I couldn't argue that. That's, that's true. I mean, you do that all the time when you buy products

All right. If you, because if you, if you don't want to buy the product, well, then just make it yourself

I mean, go ahead and just, just, I mean, seriously, like, in other words, if you, if you don't want to pay the money at

at the harbor store for a hammer, well, then just go out and find some steel and for

get a forge and get it. W I don't make a, make a hammer yourself

All right. You don't have to buy one, right? And so I

then I was, I was just here in my office thinking and don't worry

Andrew, I'm gonna get to your question just a second and I just, I wanna get to this break off point and then I'll

uh, I'll get to your question. I was looking on my wall it's right there

I, I know you can't see it but I'm looking right over at it and if you've ever been to a

um, a restaurant or, uh, uh, I, I don't, I don't go to bars a lot at all

I, I, I'm not a drinker but, but it, I'll go if somebody invites me and typically at a bar very near the cash register

uh, and of course, this is gonna change, you know, with, with everybody using credit card

But, but in the old days, they, they would, you'd see framed on the wall or you'd see thumb tech wall

a dollar bill or a $5 bill, whatever it is, that, that was the first dollar

That was the money from the first customer. And they just kind of, it's like a trophy

They, they put it up on the wall. Well, I, I have my first dollar

I have my first dollar. It's a, it's a check that was written by the wife of

of my best friend back in Cincinnati. And, and the day my first ask the builder column appeared at the bottom of the column

Uh, there was a little tagline that said, send in for builder bulletin

whatever, uh to get all this other extra information. So it was premium content

This is back in 1993. All right. And so my friend's wife immediately sends in the check

Uh, she, you know, of course, I mailed it to her, but I never cashed the check. It was the first

it was the, literally the first dollar I got for the builder. I take David's information what he told me in that phone

call and email and, and, and looking at, and then looking at that and I

and I thought, ok, I know exactly what I'm gonna do. I know exactly what I'm gonna do where the future is gonna be

And I'll tell you that in just a minute. As soon as I answer Andrew's question. All right

And if you have a question, feel free to go ahead and ask and happy to answer it. Um

I'll answer questions, you know, a as I continue down the pathway of the future of ask the builder

Wow, Lorraine's here. What do you know? And Jason, oh my gosh

The Lurker. Jason, the man of few words. All right. All right

Uh, here we go. Recently. I bought a house and noticed the sewage plant is in a concealed space with no room to rot or

scope. I can, I just put a 90 bend on that. Uh Yeah, sure

But it, it should be a sweep 90. Uh, you know, there's two different types of nineties

There's a hard 90 a sweep 90. The sweep 90 has a bigger radius

So the answer is, yeah, go ahead. Whatever it takes for you to

uh, be able to get access. The Lurkers here. Let's keep going and then

I will also paste in a link if I can um cause you may have missed it up above

So once again, talk with David. He's the North Star. He's the

he's the David's advice. I mean he's a profe he's super good at selling or marketing uh premium content uh

made a big business out of it. And then I look at my first dollar and then two days ago at 5 a.m. in the

morning, still dark outside here in New Hampshire. I have another vision

I've had several in the past 28 years and I tell the story about them and the newsletter tomorrow

Like if you don't, if you're not getting my newsletter, you better sign up today. If you want to see this story

It was the, it was the best I should say this. I had the most fun writing the newsletter

I did it spent about four hours on it yesterday. A long time real and I went over it and over it and over it

re edited it, re edited it anyway. So it's, if you, you must see my newsletter tomorrow is all I can tell

You gotta see the newsletter. So it's easy to do. Just go to ask the builder.com right on the home page

Just put your name, your email address, double check to make sure your email address hit the submit boom

Magic happens. But what's gonna happen is you'll get an email right away

And you, you, you know how to do this, you'll get it from everybody else. You have to open that email and you have to

hit that confirmation link and if you don't do that, then you're not gonna get the newsletter and that's a double opt in system and

and that, that makes sure that you're the person who signed up and it preserves the purity of my list

Um You know, because you don't want to have a bunch of spam spam emails going out

All right. So, um, let me check in, see, uh, before I keep going

Um Once again, if you have questions about your home that have nothing to do with the future of the builder

go ahead and ask them in the chat. That's, that's why I'm doing this live stream this morning. All right

So we, we thought we would test it out. We wanted to typically I do them at four in the afternoon

I thought, let's and I had a, a friend of mine on the stream two or three days ago

Hey, mix it up, try one in the morning. See what happens, especially a Saturday morning when

when you might be off work. So we'll see how it works out. Um Let's see

Um 100 says, hi, Tim Justin from Connecticut. I have a concrete sidewalk with a negative slope towards the house foundation

What fix can I do to slope? Um Well, for the best advice would be for me to see a photograph

Um, what you can do is you can do an overlay. Uh

you can do AAA concrete overlay on the sidewalk. You could add

you might be able to, once again, I, I don't know, I'm not there. You might be able to add concrete like a wedge of

concrete. So it would be thicker on the house side and go down to nothing on the

um, driveway side, I guess. Or the neighbors side and then it

it produces pitch away from the house. But the problem is you have to make sure that you can add enough soil on in between

the sidewalk and the house. I mean, once again, I don't know if the sidewalk touches the house

I, you know, I don't, I don't have enough information from you and, uh, you

you know that, that you're not causing that the concrete or that the soil doesn't get too high up against the house on the house

side. So that's one way to do it and you know, that you might be able to do that without having to tear out the

sidewalk and start over. Um, Jason. Well, here's what's gonna happen, Jason

Hello, Bob. How you doing? Um, Elaine mornings are really good for me

For me too. Elaine. I, mornings are the best. II, I run out of gas in the afternoon

I mean, I like today I was, I was out of bed at 430. I mean, I was, I mean

I, I had had eight hours sleep. So why should I stay in bed any longer? So here's what's gonna happen

Jason. Just so, you know, um, it's now April 2nd and I can tell

you by May 1st, I'm not gonna be doing AAA live stream every afternoon

not gonna happen because once the good weather hits here in New Hampshire

uh, I've, I, I moved here from Cincinnati to take advantage of the good weather

So once the good weather hits, I'm outside, I'm not, you know

I, I'm outside and doing, I could be kayaking. I could be doing outdoor radio

What, what, whatever. Um So I'm gonna cut back on the live streams and

uh, you're right, we may switch them to the morning and I just may do two a week

Who knows? We, I don't know what's gonna happen, but I know there's not gonna be one every week

every afternoon. That's not gonna, we're not gonna do that. That's not sustainable through the summer

All right, let's get back on track about the future versus the builders. So, if you want to see where as the builder is going

you can go here. This is a brand new column that I wrote and the

format that I used to use in my columns years ago, uh

because you're limited in space. Uh You, you could only write so many words

the editors would not let you write anymore is I would share with you what you need to do

And then as a separate document that you could pay, this is going back

I understand this is going back 2528 years. You would pay me two or $3 uh for a document

typically a four page document that would then tell you how to do it

Like all the steps involved because in a typical column, there's just not enough room

You, you cannot go into all the detailed information you need to have

And um so um that's where I'm going because um the the

the the model of putting up content on the internet for free is broken

That is not working. This is why many, many publishers over the past 10 years have switched to some of them to a full blown

subscription model for like consumer reports. In other words, if you go to consumer reports.com right now

you're not seeing anything. You don't get to see one thing. No, you just hit with a home page

So you, you, you want to see a report, you got three options, you know

here's the three prices. OK. Fine home building. Probably my biggest competitor

Same exact thing. They have some free information online, some but you want

you wanna get all their past archives, you gotta pay, you want their premium content

you gotta pay. Is it a lot of money? No. Um Is it gonna save you time and money

Yes. All right. So, um, so that's where I'm going. In other words

And you can see an example in that column right there. In other words, I, I share with you people want to colorize their concrete

They, they don't like the color of it and they want to change color. So

uh I tell them what to do what to do. But if you wanna know how to do it

well, there's a really cool document that I created that shows you how to do it

So that's where it's going, that's where we're going. Um And then what I'm also potentially thinking about doing is completely

changing the website cutting back significantly on the amount of ads because it's got a lot of complain about ads

But people, it was really kind of funny. People were complaining, oh

you should, here's what they said. You, you just, you need to give us the information for free and you just need to make your

money from advertisements and then in the next breath, they would say you've got too many ads on your website

Really. The, uh, the overwhelming sentiment from all of the replies I got was that

um, I need to work for free basically. Seriously. I mean, that's what they were saying

I need to work for free. You need to work for free. Like I want the content you give it to me for free

OK. That's not, that's, that's that's a bad deal because I know you don't work for free

So, or you didn't work for free in your job. Why you would expect me to do that

I is beyond mental comprehension. If you have an idea and you can justify it

please. For the love of God. Put it in the chat. Maybe I'm missing something

All right. 100 says use dirt fill as an additional sub base then report

No, wait, you wouldn't put dirt underneath the concrete that you're gonna pour

No, no, no, no, no. Um You need to go. So here's what ha what happened

This is a great example of what I'm talking about for premium content. You've got two choices

You can go to my website right now and you can sift through all of my past content

Um And there's a lot of it about concrete overlays and you can read all of the stuff on my website about foundation height

I know that doesn't make sense. You can read all of my content on the website for free right now

It's all for free. Uh You can do all of that re read everything about grading and drainage

Um, uh, pro probably about six hours worth of reading. You'd have to do

It would be my guess. I'm thinking how many columns I've written about this because you really need to kind of get it or

or you can do this. Here's something you can do. Um, that only takes 15 minutes and

it's the best money you're gonna spend on the project. So, in other words, you can, you can try to go find all the information

I just described on your own. All right, you, you can do that or I can call you on the phone and tell you exactly

what to do. It's up to you happy. I'm happy to call you on the phone

I'm so happy to call you on the phone. Just go there and set up a phone call

As simple as that or, or go to the website and read everything about concrete overlays

read everything about really important about foundation height. Make sure you find those columns

make sure you read all of the columns about exterior drainage. Make sure you understand what the code requirement is

uh, for the minimum, minimum code requirement for, uh, fall away from a house

Uh, the, the laundry list is about this law of everything you need to know. All right

So that's what you need to do. Now, if you want to know how to do it

just go to that link simple. Hello, William. Um All right. So

uh, any other questions about, uh, really kind surprise? I thought it's really kind of interesting

I thought we would have more people here, uh, tuning in. Um

I thought I had a pretty seductive tease yesterday. Uh, but it

it didn't, it must not have worked or people are just busy. It doesn't matter if you have any other questions about your home

Uh, please type it in, happy to, uh, happy to help you

Um, you know, it's very limited in what I can do here in explaining things

Uh, so just ask your question, ask away. That's why I'm doing the live stream primarily is to help you save time and money at

your home. And that's the big reason. Uh, I'm here. Um If you haven't checked in

it's probably a good idea. Um It's always nice to know who's here watching

And uh if you want to list a superpower that you might have, go ahead and do it

I got a very interesting email yesterday after the stream from one of the regulars that watches the stream

Well, he's, he's as regular as he can be and he was trying to explain why he can't do it

He's still a working guy. He's got a very important job. I'm not gonna tell you what it is

That's nice to know information. And he, but he just loves the stream

So he watches them frequently after the fact or realize that this stream once it's over

gets curated on, on my, on my channel, on youtube. So you can watch it time and time again if you want

you don't have to watch it live the um but he went into great detail about uh what his superpowers are pretty amazing

actually. And uh what he, um, ho how he likes to do home improvement projects

what his strengths are and um how he helps his neighbors. Very interesting

Very, it was really interesting to get that email. All right. Let's see

Uh So Loreen, so Loreen is, you're just like Cathy, you and Cathy would get along really

well. See, our schedules are off by three hours, 3.5 hours. So

um, uh, so, yeah, I know, I know. It was early, I know it's early in Wisconsin

I get it. I know that I get it. I get it. I know. So, Bob

um, so Bob, that's a great question. Um, what's a good way to stop

So, the, I'm not a, uh, uh, so I, I don't know how to pronounce the word

I don't know if I'm gonna, I, I may not even get close or Ortho isn't an Ortho

um, a bird expert, but here's what I know. All right. So I had a

I had trouble with a small woodpecker beck on my house. The, the

uh, the woodpeckers are just kind of looking for food. Uh, primarily I believe

Yeah, sometimes, um, I think some of the woodpeckers will peck on a gutter is a

uh, I think is a mating call, I think. Um, if you can do some research and find out from you

you really need to go to a, a bird expert website. All right, to find out why

why you need to, here's what, here's what you have to do. This is if you watched my other previous live streams

you know, that I'm, I'm really big into trying to get people to

a lot of people seem to have forgotten how to use critical thinking skills or they were never taught how to use them

So, so I always like to get people to think critically. All right

So the first question in your mind should be not, how do I stop the woodpecker from doing it

That's a, that's a, that's a good question. But in my, my thought would be the first question should be

Why is the woodpecker pecking on my siding? That would be my first question

I it's like, why is he pecking on a tree? Why isn't he pecking next door

What, what's the attraction of my sighting? So that's where I would start the journey to find out how to stop it

All right, because I don't know, I'll give you an example. Maybe

maybe you coated your siding. I know this sounds crazy. II I

this is total speculation. Maybe you coated it with some, some sealer that's made with a natural oil that tastes really good to the woodpecker

They're like, oh, you know, it's like putting hot sauce on a cheese coney like

oh, this is fantastic. All right. So, so maybe, maybe it's that um maybe there's a spot

Um Maybe there's a spot that's a little soft and there's carpenter ants in it

Um, maybe, maybe the woodpecker actually trying to make a nest. Um

yy, you know, so the list is a, is a, a mile long of why it might be doing it

So, once you understand why would peckers, what they're doing, like what their behavior is and you need to do that from an expert

And I'd go to at least three different websites and, and once again I'm gonna

I talk about this in tomorrow's newsletter. When you land on a website you've never been to before and you're looking for

information. Ok. Once again, let's, let's en let's engage the critical thinking skills

Do you, here's, I'll ask you a rhetorical question. Do you want to follow the advice of someone who is not qualified

Well, of course, the answer is simple. No, no. Like I, I don't, I, I don't wanna

I don't wanna follow the advice of some flipping idiot. How do you determine whether or not the

the person who's writing the content that you're looking at is an idiot? How do you do that

Do you know how to do that is there? You know what happens is if you go to some of the news sites

um sometimes at the bottom of the news site, at the bottom of the column is a little block that has the photograph of the

author and a very short two sentence biography so that you might find out like you know

I'm just gonna make up the name like Bob Smith has been a

a AAA, uh, international reporter for 30 years and has reported from 80 different countries

Hm, I, I would go, sounds, seems like that guy might be credible or it could say Bob Smith just graduated from journalism school

a month ago. Oh, ok. I might pass on this guy or there might not be anything there

So, if, if not you would go up to the About Us page. All right

So always go to the About Us page, click it and then find out what the hell is this

Who, who's behind this website? Who, who's creating all this content? So when you go to the bird websites

go find out who's behind the content. And if that person is an expert

nothing about this is hard, right? Loreen? Nothing, nothing about it is hard

Um So anyway, that's the answer to your question, Bob. Um You need to go find out why woodpeckers

peck on siding. That's all. And then, and then what here where I was getting to was that if you find out that

that um they're trying to nest or they're trying to do what I would put up a totem pole in my yard

I know this sounds crazy. I mean, I would put up a, a uh a special thing that has like a sign on it that

says Woodpeckers welcome here. And in other words, I would I would try to find out from these websites

What is the most desirable wood that woodpeckers love? I mean, just love

love, love it. All right. And so I would put that on a post in my yard and

and, and, and have a little sign. Woodpeckers. Well, serious. That sounds crazy

That's what I would do. Um, William, I have a newer washing machine that squirts when it gets to the wash icon

Another great teaching moment, William. I know you're gonna feel that this answer is snarky

All right. I know. And I'm trying to do my best to make it not snarky

All right. When you went to the manufacturer's website and when you read through the

FA Q and the troubleshooting page, what did it, what did it say

And if there was nothing there to answer your specific question when you called their 800 number

what did they tell you on the phone? That's where you should always

whenever you have a question about a product, whenever you have a malfunction with a product

it's not doing something, right? Um You need to go to the manufacturer

Simple as that. William Elaine says, woodpeckers nest in April and May

Yes, they, I guess they, that most birds who could be. Uh Thank you

Lorraine. Once they start, they can be hard to stop. We search. Yes

I, I know uh what I did on my house and it seemed to work really well

Is what happened is at the corner of my roof. Um Some of the wood started to get a little soft and I was pretty

much convinced that the woodpecker was um getting some insects. So I mixed up some Goya um

hot sauce, got the hottest sauce they had and put it in a little spray bottle and spray the wood

Stop it away. Um Siri Siri

she's a trollop. Don't trust Siri, she's a flipping tramp. All right

Don't even get me started on that. I promised myself today. I was not gonna go off the rails

All right, because we might have some new people here who um not used to that

It quits. It quits. Ok? So anyway, William, I like my advice still stands

You need to go to Maytag or to the, just look on the front panel who made your washing machine go to their website

Look at the FA Q page, look at the troubleshooting page. Open up your manual

You still have the manual, right? I mean, when you got the washing machine, you took that manual and you put it in a Ziploc

storage bag and you taped it to the side of the washing machine, right

That's surely that you did that right? Tell me you did that. Tell me, tell me you

you've got the manual and it's, and it's in a Ziploc bag. All right. I'm not trying to be snarky

Ok. I'm just, I'm just being me, I'm just trying to engage critical thinking skills and that's one I should maybe

maybe I should, should start a new website, Critical thinking skills.com. I don't know

Maybe starting to go off the rails. I can hear. I'm finally maybe getting Loreen to start laughing early in the morning

All right. Uh Once again, if you have any questions, uh, feel free to put them in the chat

We're getting some good questions. I am I getting some great questions here, Ronald

I have a 19 22.5 story house with the stone foundation. Yes. The M One Corner foundation is to turn into sand

I I assumed due to moisture. How do I repair Ronald? All of those questions are on my website

All the answers. I mean, all of those answers are on my website. Go to uh ask the builder.com and type into the search bar

Repair, mortar. Magic is gonna happen. Magic. Where do you see what happens

Go do it right now. If you don't mind, open up another tab

do that and then come back and report and tell everyone what you found. Please do me a favor

Thank you, Harvey. Experience of the older homes regarding painting 100 to your house

Most paint head lett. Yes. Uh Harvey, once again, great, great question

Great point. Uh Go to my website right now. Go to ask the builder.com and type and I'll talk a little bit about it

But I want you to type open up another tab while I'm talking and

and go to ask the builder.com and type into the browser. I type into the search engine

Lead paint. So all you gotta do, just type in lead paint, hit the search

look at the results and then come back and report to everyone what you found like

like you could say, I found a bunch of garbage or you could say

wow, I found some really great columns about lead paint and what to do

Uh Here's the deal. So lead paint uh really, really toxic. Um You never wanna sand it

Um It creates lead dust. It, it takes a very small amount of lead dust to uh cause you serious harm

Uh It, it's so, it's so toxic, it'll kill you. Um For men

it creates uh uh it causes impotence. That's not a good thing. Don't wanna be impotent

All right. Um Causes uh severe nerve damage. Uh It's, it's bad

Lead is really bad. You do not want to scrape it or if you do scrape it

I mean, if you're gonna scrape lead paint on an old home, uh If it was me

I would be putting down first. Uh I would tape to the foundation some inexpensive um you know

plastic two mil, maybe even four mil only has to be 5 6 ft wide

So I wanna collect all the scrapings. II, I don't, you don't want that to get into the soil

You know, because some people, some people garden. I know it sounds crazy

They have a, they might grow tomatoes next to the house. Well, the last thing you want is a bunch of flipping lead paint chips

in the soil where the lead could be potentially picked up and brought into the tomatoes or the other vegetables

All right. So you, if you're gonna scrape, you gotta collect that stuff and get rid of it

Um, other than that, that's really all you gotta do it. Just that do not sand it because that dust

that dust could drift inside. It could drift all over the place. It could pollute your ground

it could pollute the next door neighbor's house. Uh, do not sand lead paint

eight bit vinyl. How you doing Wayne? Uh You need to send some of that coffee up to Loreen and

Loreen says she can't read the manuals. I don't understand why. Oh

they put all the type in the smallest print. I got it. I got it. I understand

Uh William says, no, I didn't. You should. Ok. Whatever. I don't know what that means

Chris. Hello, Chris. Good morning. I have some hardboard siding on my house that is de shooting at the bottom edge

Uh What is an inexpensive and easy way to fix? Um, it's really hard for me to say because often in situations

like this, you're not giving me enough information. All right. So, I don't know how bad it is

I don't know. Um, the extent, I don't know if it's a half inch missing

There's a lot of things, I don't know. Uh, you can, um

go to this. Um, let me get a page for it. My website

I'll have it just a second here. I have a, have

a great video, uh, that you should watch. Uh, come on, come back here right here

So I've got, this is a pretty cool page at my website. Um

I was out in California four years ago and I recorded this video, uh

and I've got links um, on the page of the products you should buy and I would appreciate

I'm just checking to make sure it's there. I would appreciate. Yeah, I would appreciate it if you would use um those links to buy

the product as, you know, that's, that's like, you know, just like you tip a waiter or waitress at a restaurant

just click those links and buy the product. So here's Chris, this is what you need to do

but you have to modify it a little bit because I don't, you know

you haven't given me enough information, but I, I know this product is gonna work

So good luck on that if you have, uh any other questions about your home now is the time to type them in

Um, uh I have, I actually have a question for you. Um

because I wanna learn something. I, if you have, if I've seen your name here

uh, and, and you, you know, I see. Do you all have youtube accounts

Because I'm, I'm really kind of surprised. Like I'm stunned. Uh, there must be something I must not know

Like Elaine, like, I don't, I don't know why. I'm just stunned that you were able to get that youtube account name

I, I just, I am stunned by that. Um So does. So the bottom line is that if you have typed in something in

the chat and I've read it or acknowledged it, do you have a youtube account

I know or does that make sense? You could say yes, I have a youtube account or no

I don't have one because uh maybe, maybe, you know, the trouble is I'd have to open up an incognito browser and go to somebody

else's live stream and see if I can do this. Just a lot of work. I don't wanna do that

If you have a question about your home, go ahead and type it in the um chat

Happy to help you so far. The Saturday morning, uh live streams going pretty good

I've been on about 50 minutes getting a lot of great questions. Ok

Yes. Thank you, Charles. Yeah, that's exactly what I thought. Yeah. Um Thanks Fred

Um Fred. I mean, remarkable that you got your name. I mean

that's just crazy. That's crazy. Right. So, uh yeah, I just, yeah

I figured you have to have an account to be able to chat. All right, good, good for you. Um Thank you

Thank you for that. I think there's a little latency to this, uh, in the chat today

You're welcome, Chris. Those products are gonna work great. Watch the video

Um, I just want to warn you, uh, that hardboard siding has got a history of failure and you're gonna constantly

be fighting it. That's all you're gonna, you have to do everything possible to keep it uh

really well maintained, really well painted or it's just gonna continue to fall apart

William. Uh William says, I ha Harvey here. Let me get Harvey

I haven't found the search for your content. Oh, Harvey, come on

Uh When you do the search, I do have Google ads do show up at the top

But II, I, um let's see, Harvey was searching for lead paint

so I'll go do it. Let's see here. Going right here. I'm typing in the search bar

lead paint type in what I told you to do. I click the search button and yes

I see some ads and then if I scroll down below the ads

I see columns about lead paint. All right. So, um I'll

ta I'll just go to one and then I'll type in that link for you. All right. So I um but Harvey

you have to, you have to, um, you have to kind of scroll down below those ads

my friend. Um and magic happens. All right. So nothing about this is heart as Loreen would say

trying to get her to laugh this one. All right, William says you should do a stream on critical thinking one day

especially with everything going on these days. I am just an old country boy that I basically just enter my mom and dad divorced

Ok. Good, awesome. Good for you. Um I it's kind of an interesting concept

Um I, I it's funny, I, I mean, I don't know, I'd have to research how to

to teach other people to think critically. I, you know, I, I gave

I gave um apologize. I can't remember his name. Um I'm going up here to find it

Um Bob, I gave Bob an example uh how to start it with his woodpecker question

In other words, I learned from another ham radio operator about six years ago

He had a really interesting thing that I had never heard before and he said he said um the

power is in the question and it's such a very interesting comment

uh uh a statement when you think about it and I'll give you an example of it because I get it all the time and

you can actually go under my um youtube account under some of my videos

And II I answer people this way, I've typed that I've typed the powers in the question

Someone will ask me. Here's an example. Um Can

I use a toothbrush to clean my roof shingles to I'm sorry

can I use a toothbrush to clean my entire roof? So how would you answer that question

Well, my answer would be yes, I I sir, I would just go

Yes, you can do that right? I mean, you can use a toothbrush to clean a roof

What should they have asked? What? How should the question have been phrased

There's actually two or three different questions. Number one is, it could have been phrased is a toothbrush the best

tool to use to clean an entire roof. That's a better question

right? Yeah. What is the best way to clean a roof? See

because that's really what the person wants to know, but they just thought maybe I can use a toothbrush

you know, so they're not so that those are just some examples of how to start thinking critically in other words

think about the problem and then uh th really think about what is it that you really want to know

Um Exactly Elaine, that's, that was my point and eight bit vinyl

Yeah. Good luck. No, I mean, and I have, this is why you Elaine has

This might be Elaine's first live stream but Elaine just so, you know, uh in past live streams

um I have told people like Ape at Vinyl and Bob and we've got a lot of regulars here

Uh uh uh so many regulars and, and, and I would say I've got this really bad habit and I'm trying to break it

Uh, it happened this morning. I, I fell off the rails early this morning. I fell off the rails here

I was up here in the office like at 5, 10, 5, 10 in the morning for

for, for whatever reason. I don't know why I go check to see the comments that came in on the videos

I should, I, I need to stop doing that. I don't need to answer comments until one in the afternoon because because in the morning

just like Loreen, you know, she's saying she, she, she was kind of implying that she was a little grumpy

you know, a little early, a little grumpy. The drag hasn't worn off yet

That's the, that's the actual term, that's what we call it in the media industry

In other words, when you wake up, you've got drag, that's what it's called

And it's just like airplanes, airplanes have drag. And if you have too much drag

bad things happen with airplanes, bad things, right? So the um so it takes a while

like, like on the average human being, it takes about an hour to an hour and a half to get rid of the drag

All right, un unless you're using artificial stimulation, not, probably not a good idea to do that

You know, don't do, not be using cocaine in the morning. I, I mean, I never have, I'm just saying

don't, don't go there. Just, it'll just, the drag will naturally go away

So, I, I have a tendency to be a little snarky, uh

and just like, like you idiot flipping idiot and then it's scary to think that they could be breeding

I mean, all kinds of bad things. All right. Um, I know

I know I'm getting that fixed Lorraine. There's a, if you open up a new tab that

that's, that's the reason you're getting that error is because on the web page

I have old Google search code and, um, it, it, but trust me

my, my, it guys on it, we're actually gonna abandon the, um

Google Search. We're gonna get rid of it completely and I'm gonna use wordpress search engine

which is much better, much faster. There won't be any ads. So Harvey won't be upset anymore in the future

but I don't know that it's happening this weekend, maybe next weekend

I don't know. Um, my, it guy does it when he can

So, yes, I know every now and then I get there, but I haven't gotten that error myself in about a week

You typically, it can go away if you just close out of that tab

open up a new tab, go to Acid Builder and, and sometimes I've noticed it goes away when you get to the home page

If you go up and hit the Q and A, if you hit the Q and A button and then you'll see a little search

bar on the right. Try that search bar. Just, uh, it's a very odd, it's only because the code is so old

13 years old. I know. I know you're getting here. All right

Hello, Tom. Jimmy thinks it's a hit for Saturday. Uh, we are getting pretty

pretty many viewers like to see more. Uh, I, I would love to

we should be at 100 we should be at 200 viewers. Not 25 right now

We should be at 500 or 1000 in my opinion. I'm greedy. Lone has some coffee

I know. But you have a very truncated. So here, Loreen says I have some coffee but that's all she says

There's no smiley face, there's no nothing. So she's still got some drag going on

That's OK. That's ok. I get it. I mean, like if you and I were together this morning

Loreen, I would not be joking around. I would wait a while

I mean, I've, I've got such an advantage. I swear to God, I've been up for five hours

All right, I've been up for like five hours. So Thomas says

can this might be a great example of critical thinking skills? All right

or, or, or the powers in the question watch this. Thomas says

can you use liquid D PM into a mortar screen floor? Uh I don't know what liquid D PM is

I don't, I don't, I don't know the name of that product. I'm sorry. Um I would

I would, I would be inclined to say you can do whatever you want

All right, you can do whatever you want, but here's the critical thinking part of the

the, the lesson here. This is a great teaching moment. So, Thomas

uh and if you're watching this and you're not Thomas this, you need to

I need to hammer this into your head. I've said this 1000 times on the website

When you have a question about a product. I don't care what it is

it could be about. Sure it could be about this uh Liquid DP M

It could be, I don't know, emerald paint from Sharon Williams. It could be

it could be stain silver. Never ever, ever trust a person like even me

do not trust me or do not trust any other person on the internet with the answer or do not trust the person that's wearing

the orange apron in that big store. Never ever trust those people

Never, never trust a person like me. Even though I'm supposed to be an expert

why, who, who's the person so critically thinking? So, Thomas who's the person that's most knowledgeable

about how to use liquid D PM, the person

that makes it. So whenever you have a question about a product

always go to the manufacturer and, and, and even before you go there

I, I don't know about you but I, I would just read the instructions on the label

I would go to their website and read their technical specs. I would

that's what I would do. Do not trust, do never trust anybody who has nothing to do with

the product warranty. Does that make sense? Because here's what I could say, I could say. Oh Thomas

Hell yeah, man. Put that liquid D PM on the flipping mortar screened floor

man. Go for it. Put it, in fact, I've gotten the best results when I put five gallons per 100 square feet

And you go, oh wow. Really? And, and you know, I could have just uh for all

you know, I could have fallen off my motorcycle yesterday and hit my head. I'm not trying to yell at you

I'm not trying to make fun of you. I'm just trying to say, stop asking questions like that of me

Just go to the flipping manufacturer. All right, Elaine's laughing. Uh

Lorraine, it would be great to see the new site. I mean, I can just, I can actually hear you say that

Here's your, here's Lorraine. It'll be great to see the new site, but I am overall cheerful

I didn't think today's live stream would be this much fun. I'll be honest with you. I did not

I, I didn't know what to expect. I'll be honest. I'm really, and I'm, and I, I appreciate you being here

Uh, you know, if you're a regular and we got quite a few regulars here. Uh, really amazing

Um All right. So if you're here, uh, and you, uh, if you're new to the stream and you have a question about your home

um, ask it in the chat, um, go ahead and ask, and I

I wanna, once again, I wanna plug the newsletter. Uh, if you are not signed up for my

asked to build a newsletter, I swear, I swear to God, you have got to go sign up for it

Just go to the home page of Ask the voter.com right there on the center

Just put in your name, your email address, hit the button, then go check your email

Open up the email I send you click the confirmation link when you see tomorrow to

I'm telling you what I've been writing my newsletter for 25 years and I'm telling you

I have never written a newsletter like I did yesterday and you have got to read it

right? So Florian's laughing eight

bit vinyl. Speaking of paints from your experience. Uh Oh yeah, sure

Well, now once again, so you did the powers in the question? Are we talking interior exterior

I'm gonna pretty much assume you mean exterior. Uh Is that, is that a safe assumption

Loreen is laughing. Loreen give us a quick update on the uh fireplace

Is it they got it done? And just so you know, Adrid Vila

she spells her name this way. Ok. Yes. Exterior. Um, ah. Oh

yeah. Great. Uh, just a second. The fireplace is done. It is amazing

I knew it would be amazing. I knew it would be amazing. Uh

yeah. No, no, no. Yeah. No, worry about, no worry about the video

Um, uh. Oh, that's great. I am so happy that, um, that worked out for you and

and I assume, I mean, I assume you've already had a few fires. Have you had a few fires in it

Is it wonderful? Is, I mean, aside from the look? All right

Uh, all right. So best paint. Um, the best ex. Ok. Uh

we've talked about this in past live streams and I'll make this as quickly. I'll go as quickly as I can

I don't have anything to drink here this morning. That was a mistake. I forgot to bring something to drink

What? I'm just gonna ask you a rhetorical question. Have you ever thought about what is paint

What is it? Oh, first fire tonight? Oh, that's, that's what I wanna see the picture of

I wanna see the picture of a fire in the fireplace. What is pain

Yeah, that's like asking what is a woman. All right. I'm not going off the rails

I swear to God. I'm not, um, quick story. Um, when the first

my first business, I, I actually, um, if you got a minute

I'll find something that I think you'll really enjoy. Just give me a second. It's right down here about

I'm trying to find it. Just hang in there with me. It's right here somewhere

Oh, come on. Well, I thought I could find

it quickly. It's, it's right here but it's, it's in a stack of my mom

Saved everything. Uh, God bless my mother. She was a pack rat

She saved everything, all of my school papers, all of my report cards

all of my detention slips. And when I went into business, uh my one would this have been

oh, I don't know, it's sometime in college. It might have been my sophomore summer

I don't know. Um I, I started a painting. We started, I started painting houses in the summer time with a friend of mine

who was one year older than me. His name was John Penry and John was a great guy

And what I loved about John was John was, he was cut from the same cloth

I was uh no half ass work, do things the right way

Uh He was awesome. John was a great, great guy and we started this little painting company

And so John, when John got a degree in chemistry, he eventually got his phd and

then he went to work his, his entire career. He was with Sharon Williams up in uh Cleveland

wonderful wife named Myrna. Myrna was a registered pharmacist and one day while John

this is when John was still in college and I guess they must have covered it one day in one of his physical chemistry classes

I would guess. But um, John handed me a, a piece of paper with a formula on it

A chemical formula and he was just playing with me. All right

He, and because he knew I wasn't a chemist, he said, what do you know what this is? You know

it's a weird chemical formula. Like I just look at him and say, well

I can't really tell you what I said. You know, it was a four letter word

All right. You know, just joshing with him like, you know, just like when a woman says whatever

like whatever, basically kind of what I said to back that should get Lorraine and Elaine really laughing

All right. So Kathy will say that to me, whatever. All right, I know what it means

It doesn't mean whatever. And I go John, I, I don't know what that is

He goes simple. He goes, that's um that's the formula for a pretty much standard yellow carpenters glue

Oh, that's cool. You know, you know, because he knew I like carpentry and I thought

oh, that's interesting. He hands me another piece of paper. So what

what do you think this is? And I look at it and I go, well

this is almost identical formula to the glue. You just handed me

He goes correct. He goes, that's a very standard paint. All right

So he basically the glues, those, those carpenter glues are back in the old days

I'm, I'm going way back. I can't tell you what they are now, but back in the old day they were vinyl acetate

All right, it was a vinyl acetate adhesive. So, all paint is bottom line

You have to understand this. You remember critical thinking, critical thinking, this is what we're doing here

What's his name is? Right? Maybe I should do a course on this. Um Starting to think now about a critical thinking

class about stuff about your home. All right. I, I have to, I have to, that's a really rough idea when

you understand that all paint is, is glue, ba ba I'm just talking basic paint

It's just glue with color in it. I mean a light bulb should go off in your head like

wow. OK, glue. I mean, and you go, it makes sense. Like

cause when I paint something, like if I paint this woodwork here in, in the cave or I paint the door or I paint the

wall, it sticks on it, it sticks, it doesn't come off like this paint's been here for years

What do you know? All right. I mean, you go, I'll be damned

All right. So that's a crutch word. By the way, if you understand

that paint is glue and you wanna know what the best paint is

Your next question would be if we were thinking critically right. A bit

what would the next question be? What is the stickiest glue? All

right, I'll give you a clue. Have you ever a AAA? And

and I'll take it one step further. Not only is, what is the stickiest because it doesn't really come off

I mean, you, you've, in other words, what, what, what coding have I seen applied

That, that is sticky and, I mean, it just doesn't seem to come off

I mean, it must have some type of magic qualities. I'll give you a clue

Have you ever gone to a basketball game? Have you ever watched a basketball game on TV

What, what, what, what are the basketball, what, what do the basketball players play on

Do you know? Have you ever thought about it? It's hardwood. They play on a wood floor

Is the wood, is the wood floor painted? Does it have lines on it

Does it have symbols on it? Does this have, does it have bull crap writing on it

you know? Yes. All right. And, and, and all right. So, so

so what, what, what, what's on the floor? You're a thing? You're a thing

You have, you probably have Urethane in your home. You might have Urethane on your woodwork, you might have it on your floors

Bottom line, best exterior paint is the one that is, has a Urethane resin

And I have, as you might suspect I have that column on my website and I will give it to you to show you which

paint I would buy. I'm getting the link for you right now

And you're also gonna see a picture of the smallest house in old San Juan Puerto Rico

What do you think about that? The smallest house in old San Juan Puerto Rico? OK

There you go. All right. Pain is g I'm getting caught up

Um Lisa. Hello, Lisa. Uh, then the walls and incorporate wall and

uh, so Lisa, I must. Oh, here we go. Good morning. Ok, Lisa. I'm getting your question right now

Um, let me go. Let me get to a lax high and I don't trust the paint that blood

Yeah, I agree with that name. Um, and then he just so

you know, I'll just touch on that real quickly, Lisa, I'll get to you in just a second. Um

so Elaine, this whole movement over the past, I don't know, 1015 years about paints that don't need a primer

Once again they're there. Those are developed for the, uh, the lazy people out there

All right. The, the lazy. All right, because paint manufacturers have done all types of

they've spent lots of money on surveying people and, um, and, and

and people are just like, not all, not all people, many people are lazy

They still want to sell their product. They know that people don't want to put two coats of paint on

They don't want to double their paint budget. So they go, ok

we'll just sell them a flipping paint that doesn't need primer. All right. So, all they may do is just

uh, they'll, they'll, they'll make a paint that's very similar to some of the drywall primer sealers

That, that, that handle two things that deal with porosity and deal with

with making sure that they have the right sheen. Right. So, that's kind of a complex topic

I, I've got, I've got another web column on a website about that. But, um

right, I would, I would prefer to put a primer on a primer se you actually should put a primer sealer on

It's a, it's a special paint. All right, let's go to Lisa's question. Good morning. I'm rebuilding RV

Some say I should do the internal framing first and some say, do the walls

Um Then I'm trying to find the rest of your question. Uh Then the walls in a corporate wall

Uh Listen, if it was me, um I would rebuild an RV

I've never done one. All right. But I would rebuild it exactly the same way that I would build a home

All right. Let's think about that. So how, how, how would you build a home

Uh If you, you would start by putting the framing up, you know

the walls and the roof and then typically a good builder, what's the next thing he'll do

Uh He'll try to seriously get the roof on. I mean, you know, they'll, they'll put the

they'll frame the roof but they wanna get the roofing on as soon as possible to stop

to minimize water getting inside. And a really good builder, once he has the roof on all of

a sudden, he can start to get four or five different trades working on the house pretty much at the same time

All right. Um, he can start to get the plumbing in, uh

because in most cases it doesn't hurt. I mean, obviously think about this

you can put the pipes, both the drain pipes and the water supply pipes in the house that there there

if it rains on them, it's not gonna hurt them. Right? I mean, plumbing pipes are made to handle water

All right, I'm a licensed master plumber. Um, you can put, you can put the electrical wiring in and you know

you've got a roof on the house but water may blow in the open windows, the windows aren't in yet

So is it gonna hurt the, the wire if it gets wet? Uh Not really

not really. All right, not gonna hurt it. But so, so the

in other words, I'm trying to explain to you that the builder can have the trades working inside

but at the same time, a really good builder, he's outside, finishing the outside of the house

meaning getting the windows in so that no ring gets in. Uh putting the siding on the brick on whatever to basically make sure that

no water gets in the house, water is the biggest enemy. And then once the house is completely protected

from the weather, um, and then all the mechanics are in, you can

then what does the builder do? You know? He'll start to add the finishing

you know, he'll put the drywall or plaster in. I mean, well, I'm sorry

once it's protected from the weather, this is really important. Once it's protected from the weather

he'll insulate the walls. You don't want to get water in the insulation

bad, bad, bad, bad. So, and once the installations in then you can start to finish the inside

That's how I would do. That's how I would rebuild an RV. Build it just like a house

All right. Any other, uh any other questions? Um, been on for an hour and 20 minutes

Um, I've got to go to a secret, um, ham radio lunch today

Can't tell you anything more about it. Sorry, sorry to teach you

Um Oh, real quickly. Check this out if you're new, check out my tomato plant

So let me, let, let's see how high it is. It's

it's almost, um, it's just under eight inches tall. I'm telling you a week ago it was six inches tall

The stem, the stem here is a quarter inch thick. It's just two days

over a month old. I, I planted the seed on March 1st I got four

I got four tomato plants. But man, they are rocking, I mean rocking

So, um, it's gonna be a good year for tomatoes, I hope. Um

Oh, all right, Elaine. I skipped your question. Let's see. I'll go find it

Yes. Thank you for, thank you for reminding me. Uh I am trying to find

oh, here we go. Finally I found it. Yeah, that's a, that's a great tip

By the way, if you, sometimes I get rolling and the questions that's that the chat just streams up and I

I miss it and I don't go back up. So if you have asked a question and I've not answered it

remind me, Lane says Mr Tim, our kitchen faucet has started making a high pitch noise

Yeah. And then a thumping. But no uh yeah, the uh it's simple

Uh Elaine, that's very simple. Um The um you have a uh you have

a, you have a uh high pitch vibration, you have a piece of sediment in the cartridge

right? That's uh it could be a very, very, very tiny piece of sand and that's what will cause the um the thumping

uh the high pitched sound. Um it's just like, um uh you know

when you um you know, like when you whistle, you know, so you're

there's a tiny, so when you whistle, you're blowing air past a very small orifice and think about what's happening in that and

and you get a vibration going. That's what's you, you're vibrating and that's what's causing the

the sound to happen. Same thing happens with water. The water takes the place of the air that makes a whistle work

So it, all you gotta do is change out. The cartridge problem is gonna go away right away

Any, uh, other questions, uh, happy to answer them before I get the heck out of here

Uh, I'll, um, I'm gonna do a poll. We're gonna do a quick poll

Um Let me, uh, I, you know the powers in the question

right? So I have to ask the right question. I'm

I'm gonna have a little fun with this. All right. All right

I'm trying. Um, just

a second here. I don't know why. There

you go. There you go. All right. So go ahead and answer the poll

I'm sorry, I just had a little fun. So it's not really scientific cause I'm not asking the question the right way

All right. All right. I already know how one person is gonna answer it

I'm not naming any names. Um Yes, Celine. Yeah. Easy. Good for you

Let and report back to me what happens. I already know it's gonna work. A but one last question

uh I still use round up for weeds. Do stop doing that

Stop, stop right now and you should know better of all the people come on

right? Who have you not seen the commercials on TV? From all those lawyers

Stop, stop using chemicals on your lawn. Um, first

of all, if you read the label, you cannot even pronounce the words

Right. That's right there. That's one, that's number one, I'd know where you live and I'm 99% convinced that

you've got a well, stop using chemicals. Stop it. Yeah

exactly. Stop it. Weeds are green. And I was just looking at actually what

I'm looking out the window at, at my, at the hill going up to my leach field and over the past few years it's been

taken over by this moss and I was outside yesterday getting something out of my truck and I thought

man, the moss, it looks so healthy this year and it's almost completely choked out all the grass

It's like, you know, and it hit me yesterday. Like, what can I do to make this moss grow better and faster

I won't have to cut the grass anymore and, and it's nice and green. All right

So my, my neighbor, great people, my neighbors, great people. But the

the wife is one of those people that everything's gotta look perfect oc

you know, O CD. Is that what it's called? Yeah. Obsessive compulsive story

All right. So, crutch word, uh, they have somebody come out and spray the lawn

There's not a weed in their lawn. They, they, they subscribed a year ago to this new company mosquito squad to stop mosquitoes and ticks

and and, um, somehow we got in the conversation one day and I was really very diplomatic how I said this and I just said

I don't even have it came up. But I just said, I don't, I don't wanna use any chemicals in my yard because I

I, you know, remember I'm a geologist. All right. I go because those chemicals could leach down into the water table

That's all I said. So

I don't know why, uh, Loreen, you didn't get the, uh, I don't know where it shows up

All I see is at the top of my screen. So I think I might have a different dashboard than you

You see. I just have it on the top of mine. I just have a right now

just a blue bar that's showing me the, um, that the, the polls still happening and

and it just, um, I just kind of see at least the

yes, I just see the, uh, um, oh, if I click it very interesting

So, uh, that's, it's very interesting. Everybody says, yeah, either either. No one's saying no

everybody wants it but 75% say yes. And, uh, that one choice was not too early

I lay us in bed. So that iii I put that in there for

for somebody. So anyway, uh, I don't, uh, I don't know what

ok, now you got it good. OK. Oh my gosh. So Elaine

Elaine, you're still here. Um, are you Enjo, are you enjoying us

And actually, for you, it must be a treat because I don't know that you've ever seen me live like this before

So, um, Elaine and I, um, we have this relationship, uh, it's very

uh, an, an email relationship. Never met her. I would love to meet Elaine

I would love to meet you and, and, um, I just have this great friendship that we

we've built, you know, over the past year or two. And Elaine sends me really great responses to newsletters and

uh, it's always a treat to, to read an email that Elaine gets it sends to me

So, uh, anyway, um, s absolutely, this am, has been one of my best mornings ever

That's great. That's great. Um, all right. Uh, that was for me

You're right. You're right. All right. So, I'm so same thing. I have this new relationship with Lorene

Um, and, um, uh, you know, Kathy teases me all the time about this just so

you know, I need, you need to understand this that I tell Kathy about you

All right. So she just goes, go to it that she'll just tease me and

you know, after you've been married 48 years, you know, so you just say this guy, she'll just say, go

go, go, you know, go, you know, she's playing the flipping Scarcity card

you know, like, oh, my gosh. Uh, ah, great. All right. So

um, so Elaine said I never sue any, uh, with that. Oh

so putting, uh, yeah, I just, I don't even, the weeds are green

I'm happy with the weeds. I don't care. No chemicals do not stop using chemicals

I, I can tell you that as a plumber when, when I was in my twenties and thirties I actually thought I would be dead

by now. Uh, because if you've ever looked at the label of a can of PV C primer or PV C glue and

and when you're working with it, you cannot help but get it on your hands. I mean, it

it's horrible and what I did not know back then and, uh

a bit vinyl knows because I pretty sure this is your profession

Uh, I, I did not know way back then. I did not know that our skin was absorbent

I didn't know that I only found that out maybe in the last 15 years when

um, you know, I started to see those drugs that, you know

I guess like the, to stop smoking, you just put this thing on your arm and

and the drug is slowly absorbed through your skin. I do not just like

you don't know stuff but I mean, I'm not a flipping doctor, you know, so I cannot believe I don't have cancer

I'll just be honest with you. I just can't believe it is much flipping PB D primer and glue in my skin

Oh, my gosh. Stop using chemicals. Stop it. How

he listens with me sometimes. Lorn you, you need, you tell your husband that

he needs to listen to you all of the time. Not sometimes all of the time

This, he should already know this. Oh, yeah

Elaine. Well, here, here's here. Get this Elaine. So you've not been on other live streams

I'm trying to pull this together. I cannot pull it together until after the whole illness thing is over

That's what I call it the illness. I have to call it the illness because I don't wanna get banned. And I'm not gonna wear

I, I'm not wearing a face diaper, not doing it. They don't work

They're not all right. Here's a, I'm, I'm not a professional but I'm smart enough to know this

I early on in the illness. I did some research. I wanted to know. How big is this flipping thing

How big is that thing? You know, this thing is this mysterious thing that's in the air

Well, this mysterious thing that's in the air evidently is you can take 900 of them

900 of them side by side and put them on the width of a human hair

Have you ever see this shirt here? Like, have you, you know, just a regular fabric

right? How many people have you seen wearing fabric, face diapers? Have you ever taken a shirt and held it up to a bright light

or, or, or the sun. What do you see? You see all these little holes

Right. I mean, holes that you could stick a, like a straight pin through, right

I mean, seriously you could stick it straight through a straight pin through that hole or like the tip of a straight pin

How, how, how, how wide is the tip of a straight pin compared to your hair

Oh, it's a little bit bigger. So, this thing, or there's paper things that there

it's like asking a chain link fence to stop a BB. So anyway

I'm not anyway, here's where I was going with that. Sorry, I went off the rails. I promised myself I would not do that today

All right, I'm gonna try as soon as we can pull this off

I'm gonna have a parachute drop. All right. So what does that mean? A parachute drop is

Think about it? Parachute drop. Think what my paratroopers dropping in on, you know

one day I'm going, I'm gonna kind of poll everybody the regulars and I'm gonna say

ok, look, why don't we all agree to meet up at this place

And it could be any, it could be a national park. It, it could be anywhere. It could be anywhere but it's good

It's gotta have some nice amenities. It's gotta have a nice swimming pool, it's gotta have a nice bar

Uh, it's gotta have maybe a golf course, whatever. Uh And so I would then say

ok, I am going to be at this place for these three days or four days

whatever, I'm gonna be there. If you wanna come, then come. If you don't wanna come

you don't have to come. I don't care. And then for that two or three days or how

if you can come a day, it doesn't matter because you might, a person might live actually very close and just drive there for a

day. Um We, everything is informal. Everything is unscheduled. In other words

if you, we all exchange phone numbers once we get there or just before we text each other

you wanna have breakfast with me? Fine. We'll have breakfast out on the, on the patio

Uh You wanna go to lunch? Well, we'll have lunch together. You wanna swim, go swimming

you wanna go play golf with will and I let's go play golf, you know, cause will comes will is a big golfer

So I'm just saying so that's a parachute drop. It's basically like a, a miniature vacation

So we could do an ask the builder parachute drop. I'm gonna do it, but I'm not gonna do it until the whole bull crap

over. All right. All right. Let me get caught up here. Uh

How he listens to your life having the captive in the car uh a bit

It's as big as people are getting scared. Uh Coming from the nurse with real numbers as proof

Um Yeah, I, I uh I, I know it's r real. Don't get me wrong

I had it. I mean, you, you do real. I don't know if you realize it. You realize uh I got the illness I survived

Uh My doctor didn't do anything. My doctor flipping loser loser. See that l loser

My wife saved my life. All right. So Corin Zinc. All right

It's all on my website. Just, just go, go, go to ask the daughter.com and type that word in

It's what five letters begins with ac type it in the search engine

All I want to say is that the response, much of the response is not based on science

That's all not based on science. It's all been back control. Not

has nothing to do with health. Here's the

other thing that, that, that you probably could set some light on that not really being reported

Is it true? This is rhetor, this is not really a rhetorical question. Is it true that the hospitals are all getting extra money

If they say that the person comes in, has the illness? Is it true

Uh that, that they get extra money? If, if they put a person with the illness on a ventilator

they get extra money. Is it true that they get even more money if the person dies of the illness while in the hospital

If so that's a conflict of interest. But what do I know I used to eat lunch sitting on overturned drywall buckets for 20 plus

years. All

right. Um, there's all kinds of studies about, once again, just use critical thinking skills

All right, you have to use critical thinking skills about the whole face diapers

All right. So we, we don't need to get into a discussion with it because if we're not using the same

if we don't agree on the same data set about the topic

it's impossible to have a discussion. You can't do it. I've been an expert witness for 25 years

So I know all about data sets and, and that's why when you're sworn in at a deposition

you say, I swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth

I, I had to swear that on the witness stand in courtrooms. All right. So we have a situation that's happened here in the

well, it's happened for a long time but it really exploded in the last two years where you and I are not getting the whole

truth. So how, so is it any wonder that you get into arguments with people about all this stuff

All right. Um, so anyway, not gonna talk more about it. I'm just telling you that I'm gonna have a flipping parachute drop and Kathy

will be happy about it. She loves it when I go, get out of here. She loves it

It's like a vacation for her. I've been, I've been at home, working at home for the last 28 years

Um, yeah, not only that but there's a ton of people who are asymptomatic

Are you kidding me? Asymptomatic. And now I've got the, I've got the best immunity that Mother nature makes here

Y'all appreciate this. I'll just say this. I'm the same with this. I've

I've put this out there. Do you know anything about yellow fever

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe you were taught a little bit about it in school. All right. So Crutcher back in early 19 hundreds when the

US ST helped steal, did you know that the US? If you're upset about Russia and what's going on with Russia

Just stop right now. If you're upset with Russia, you, you need to be the first person in line to give Hawaii back to

to the, to the Hawaiians. I mean, did you, you do realize that we stole Hawaii

right? I mean, you realize that, right. Come on, you, you know that, come on

I mean, you, you realize Hawaii had a queen, Queen Lily UK KK Kale or whatever

we stole it from her. Oh, and Pan Panama. All right, Panama

you do realize that Panama was not a country in 1900. You know what Panama was where Panama is

That was Colombia. So Colombia extended up, you know, to the isthmus

All right. But the people that lived on the isthmus, they were neglected

they, they Colombia hated them, they didn't take care of them. They got pissed off

So they came to America and said, listen, we want to get the hell away from these people

Can you help us? Just so happened. Theodore Roosevelt's President, what do you need

We need you to help us get away. All right, tell you what

we'll make you a deal. We will help you. We will help you get away and

and, and, but, but, but here's what we get, you need to give us some of your

your land. All right. And, and, and we just happen to want this narrow strip of land

maybe a couple, 23 miles wide and, and we're gonna build this c and it's gonna be ours

We're gonna, it's our, they go do it whatever you want. We don't care, do whatever you want

Go ahead, dig in the freaking ground. We don't care. I'm telling you the truth

All right. It's so, so anyway, um I don't even know where I was going with all this

I completely lost my train of thought. Now, I, I don't know why I started on that

So, um I don't know where I was going. So I, now I'm

I'm lost. It doesn't matter. All right. So maybe somebody will tell me where I was going

Oh, here we go. Um It was something with eight bit vinyl

What was I talking about? Uh Anyway, uh yeah. Yellow fever, yellow fever

Thank you. All right. So you'll, you'll love this yellow fever So

back when we were building the Panama c, yellow fever, we did not know what caused yellow

They did not know what caused it. But let me tell you yellow fever. That is a bad ass flipping ailment

ailment you contract yellow fever. It's like playing Russian roulette. 5050 chance

50% mortality rate, 50%. That would get my attention. 50%. All right

They, they had no cure for it. They just kind of were trying to treat symptoms

the preventative care. They, they didn't even know what caused it. They did not realize it was

it was, it was, uh, transmitted by mosquitoes. They eventually figured it out but everybody was getting bit by mosquitoes down there

Are you kidding me? Flipping Panama mosquito city? Who, how, how was it that

the doctors and the nurses, we're treating the yellow fever patients? Simple

They got it. They got yellow fever but they survived. So, when you get a disease and you survive

I mean, you already know this. You have the best flipping immunity that you can get. Barna

And now, now, what are they up to the 4th and 5th jab

Oh, experimental biological agent. Are you kidding me? All right. All right

All right enough, enough enough. And I'm gonna get out of here before I get in deep trouble

Get deep trouble. All right. So, um, history. Yeah. History, neat subject

Um, let me go back to Kathy. Kathy is not coming to the parachute drop

No flipping way. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

she's not coming. Here's why, first of all, she hates to travel

hates everything about the experience hates everything. Number two, she re, she will only get on an airplane if

uh, she is heavily sedated. Uh, and only if she has to

I mean, like, if someone dies in a family hates airplanes. Right

And remember what I just said, she constantly is asking me, hey

don't you need to go out west? Don't you need to go somewhere with your buddies? In other words

she wants me out of the flipping house so she can have it for herself so that she can be on vacation

All right, she just asked me one question. She just says two things. Just give me a week's notice and please don't leave during the

winter time because I don't want to have to deal with the snow myself. All right. So Kathy's not coming to the pair

She drunk. Sorry. I know. I

I yell at the scream. Oh, sorry. All right. I'm gonna get out of here

I swear. Uh, face, they are, they are face diapers. All right

Yes. All right. Uh, yeah, exactly. Exactly. All right. Right. Yeah. But the thing

is what, um, just so, you know, the jab right now, um

is not a true, uh, the, the letter V, it's not, it's not that if you go look up the de

if you have to go, like, here you have to have something like this. You have to have a

uh, one of these old ones. All right, let's see if they got the right definition in here

I'm not a doctor. All right. I'm not even a nurse. Here

we go. They got the right definition. This is for the word that you see a lot of out there

it begins with a V. All right, here's the definition. Listen to me

listen to this. Now, if you go online and try to look this up

I'll bet you, you come back with a different definition because you realize online they're changing the definitions

That's why I use this. That's why I have, oh, you can't see it

It's hidden, it's hidden by these books. But right here, I've got a really big old dictionary

Here's the definition of the V word. Listen to me. Listen carefully a preparation

of a weakened or killed pathogen such as a bacterium or virus used

to the V word as a verb. You want me to read that again

You gotta understand this. A preparation of a weakened or killed pathogen such as

a bacterium or virus. You do realize that the experimental biological

agent that millions are getting jabbed with has none of that in it

It has none of the dead or weakened pathogen in it. But yet they're

calling it the V word. You are being played. You and millions of other and I'm not trying to scare you

I'm just trying to give you the flipping truth. You are being played

You have been played the last two years and I will then share this and then I'm out of here to stop the whole time

So if you, and if you want to see how bad you've been played, go here

go watch that video and then get the book by the guy's book

The book is so much better than the video. All right. All right

OK. Lorraine gotta go, I gotta go. Um I'm gonna go too. Uh Jason

Great. Um All right. Um We're gonna do more Saturday morning, uh live streams

I can see it right now. Um And we're gonna try to get the lazy people out of bed

They can just go to bed earlier the night before. Right? I'm ranting

Goodbye. I know. Yeah, George. Right. I knew I would scare some people off. That's OK

It's ok. That's what I do. I'm ranting, I'm allowed to do it. It's my live stream and see if

if you just, you just, you know, I, I respect your right to disagree but remember what I said about a half an hour ago

it's impossible to have a good, uh an honest discussion. If, if every

if, if you're not using the same data set and you have to have all the facts. We

you and me, all of us, we're not getting all the facts. That's so

so how can we actually have a really good discussion about any of it? Ok

Um, ranting, I guess, I guess that would be a rant. All right

Thanks for being here. I had a great time. Um um, but I understand that you

you have to under just, you know, the last point about this stop being played

I mean, go, go, go, look up, go, go look up the, the definition yourself

Go, go, go, go get an old dictionary and look it up and then

and then just do some critical thinking. Come on George. Do some critical thinking. Don't

don't let him. And it'd be like saying, oh, wow. Uh, today

uh a hot air balloon landed in my yard. This is a really bad ogy. A hot air balloon landed on our yard

No, no, it didn't. A hot air balloon did not land in the yard. A bird landed in New York

All right. I know something floated down. Not a hot air balloon

It was a bird. All right. So two different things. So the experimental biological agent is one thing and something

that's made. That's a true, this word is something else. They're not

they're not the same. A hot air balloon is not a bird, right? So simple as that

All right, Fred, you're still here. Great to see you too. I'm still kicking

buddy. Oh, Fred. Fred, wait a minute, check this out. I got this unsolicited

letter in the mail yesterday from a, a company in Washington about the 90 acres

It says, uh the name of the company would like to purchase your land in New Hampton

New Hampshire. Uh blah, blah, blah is referenced in the enclosed purchase of offer agreement

which is here. All right, that's it. And so it says right here

the, the purchase price of 100 and $16,864.96. , they

they were all gracious. Say they're gonna pay all expenses. I, you're gonna love this early this morning

I write back the guy a letter, a very traditional handwrit letter

very short one page. I just say dear, his name was Andrew. I go dear

I go dear Andrew. Thanks so very much for your uh for your date letter dated blah

blah, blah reference number, blah, blah, blah because it's got a reference number up here, you know

So um so you could look it up and I go, I just want

I just wanted to inform you that there was a typographical error II I in it and

and you need to have someone in your office check these things before they go out

I go, it was missing a zero. He's gonna throw it away

Can you believe that? Can you? I mean, it's just crazy. Oh my God

I know I paid too much for the land. I paid way too much. Uh, oh, well

but it's worth a lot more. Now, I can tell you that he had a guy from, uh, New Orleans

uh, offer me 800 for it. No, not taking it. I'm not

I'm not, uh, I'm not, uh, I'm not selling the land because I, I know what's happening

I know what's in play, the land is gonna start going up in value like crazy

Just like you and I talked about that day. You and I walked it so just taking a while

but that's ok. It's gonna get all it's doing is going up in value every day, every day

Oh, on the road. Get this fridge real quickly. So I got

uh, if you're still doing real estate up here, I, I don't know, I haven't talked to you in such a long time

Um, I called up Hilts, you know, Jeremy Hiltz in New Hampton

that big contractor call him up two years ago. This was two years ago

You know what the price to put a road in? Like I was on my lamp

Do you have any idea? Two years ago? Just imagine all the trees are still there

They gotta go in and, you know, take all the trees down, do everything. $400 a foot

$400afoot.Thatwastwoyearsagoandimaginewhatitisnowwithfuelpricesandwhatever.I

mean, that road, the road on my land is worth a minimum. It would cost somebody a half a million dollars to put in well

over 1000 ft long. You know how long that road is? All right. Anyway

gotta go. Great to see you, Fred. Great to, great to know that you were here

That's amazing. Um, so, uh, we'll be doing another live stream probably next Saturday

so I'll be here. Hope you will too. Um, and, uh, keep in touch

So thanks so much for being here today. Um We'll do another one next Saturday

We'll see if we can get uh George upset and, uh I promised myself I wouldn't go off the rails

but I'm sorry, I did too bad. Too bad. People need to wake up. That's all everyone needs to wake up

Some are still sleeping, need to wake up, time to wake up. Don't call things that what they're not

don't call a bird, a hot air balloon. All right. Don't call a bird

a hot air balloon. Don't call the experimental biological agent. The this word don't call it that because it's not that that's not what it

is. Go look up, what the, this is, go look it up. Uh I am gonna

I'm probably gonna, yeah, I'm gonna still do stuff during the week. Uh I'm gonna

but I'm gonna start weaning it off. Uh, a, a bit because, um

the weather is getting nicer and I, and if you read tomorrow's newsletter

you'll see why I need to spend a little bit more time writing and doing some other stuff

Tomorrow's new, what, what this whole live stream was originally about at the beginning. Um

I've got some catch up work to do and, um, uh, so

so I will do one next Saturday and, um, but there will be some during the week

but eventually when we get to May 1st, there's not gonna be one every day. No, because Fred will tell you when the weather's nice

here. Um, I'm outside. All right, because people who live up here

they really, uh, they, I, I moved here just, you know, I moved to New Hampshire for one reason only primarily was to get away

from the horrible weather in Cincinnati. And, um, so once it warms up

dude, I am outside, I'm not like you, you, you have to

it takes a team of wild horses to keep me indoors. All right. Gotta go. Uh

Elaine. Um, Loreen's gone, I think eight bit Fred some George if you're still here and not happy

Uh, so many people. Thanks so much for being here today. Appreciate it. Uh, if you've not signed up for my newsletter

I'm just gonna end with this. If you have not gone to the website, go to ask the builder.com sign up for the newsletter right

there on the home page. Do it. Uh, tomorrow is gonna be an epic newsletter

I guarantee you and, and what I'll probably do next Sunday is I probably am gonna publish some of the hate mail that I get

gonna get some hate mail. Speaking of hate mail, where do you go to the weirdest times and see my letter to the editor that

it was in on Thursday. I can't wait to get that hate mail

It probably start coming in today. All right. So go to the weirdest times and, and look at my letter to the editor
