Why is My House Cold? Live Stream Ask the Builder 11-10-2021

Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Hi. I am Tim Carter, the founder of Vassad, and we're here a little early. And I've done that for a reason, because I wanted to make sure on my channel page that this feed is showing up and that I'm moving so that my newsletter subscribers can easily click it and join us. That's the reason I'm here. So if you've got..

I'd like to see if the chat's working, if you can chat me a quick message

I would really appreciate it just to make sure it looks like it's working to me

And I would love to make sure that, there we go, that's it. Hey, hey, I don't, Louise

I'm doing good. We're going to have a pretty interesting live stream today

You know, we're going to start it, you know, in about four minutes. I'm going to try something a little different

I want to just kind of dive deep into a topic, you know, here where I live in

central New Hampshire, you know, it's starting to get a little chilly. We've had a couple of hard

frosts and you know once it really gets cold I get a lot of email from people and they complaining about you know all my house is so cold you know what can I do blah blah blah Hey there Steve the UK

Steve, tell me, are you a newsletter subscriber or are you, did you just happen to find it live on YouTube

How did you know about this live stream? I'm just curious. So I have a lot of subscribers to my newsletter who are from all around the world

And, you know, one of my dreams is I would love to meet many of you

I'm not kidding. There's like Phil down in Australia. I've known Phil now for five, ten years

And there's just all kinds of people all around who are on my newsletter list

And I've become friends with. But, you know, I've not seen them

So anyway, okay. So anyway, people get cold. And, you know, there's a lot of reasons why

why your house might be cold. Lots of reasons. Some are easy to fix some or not. The best news

and I'm going to share it, you know, pretty deep in a thing, there's a really easy way to solve

the problem So you just have to think what is the problem So and I actually I tell a little story when I start the live stream I was on a live newscast in Chicago on WGN last year They had a really bad cold spell and my column runs in the Chicago Tribune

and they know about me and these fancy-dancy morning show news anchors

these two women. I wish I would record. I guess it might be on their website still

I don't know. but the one woman asks me, well, Tim, you know, how

What's the secret? What's the secret? You know, and I told her what it was

And she just said in live telling her, she said, well, I could have told people that

What I wanted to say, well, why didn't you? You know? Oh my gosh

I, you know, so anyway, you know, that's the thing. Typically, you're going to get advice from me

that's pretty unorthodox. It's, you know, you might hear from all these other people, oh, well, go around and cock your windows, put up this stuff, blah, blah, blah, you know, like all this same blather

I hear every year, and it's like you guys are missing the ball

They're not really going to the root cause. So anyway all right let see You from New Hampshire interesting Did you know the guys from this little house Well I have met Bob Vila many many years ago at trade shows I also have met Norm Abram Same thing back at a trade show many years ago Norm is the real deal Norm and I you know basically we had identical careers It just that he got really famous and I didn And that okay I can live with that Bob Vila a lot of people He he

He's done a pretty good shell game. I actually told him that in person and he wasn't too happy

But I mean, if you look back at Bob's and he's actually closely guarded his resume, to be honest with you

So you need to understand that Bob Vila has done very, very little of the work, you know, that like I did and Norm did

You know, Bob was just a TV host. It was that simple. So anyway, that's okay

I mean, there's nothing wrong with that. He made a name for himself and a lot of people know Bob

But anyway, I, that's my extent of meeting people. I haven't met any of the other people on the show

So it's that simple. All right. You know what? We are about two seconds away from getting started. Let's go

Okay, good afternoon
