We do this every year. This week in 9 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:43.799 Las Vegas, Nevada, it was the International Builders Show, sponsored 10 00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.880 by the National Association of home Builders. It is the 11 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:53.600 largest industry show for the construction and design industry on 12 00:00:53.759 --> 00:01:00.000 the planet. Happens every year, and we're talking a huge, 13 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.480 huge show. This show has grown in proportions every single year. 14 00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:08.680 This is particularly, I believe, the largest show, at least 15 00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:12.040 in the last fifteen years. It is the world's premiere 16 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:17.400 building industry showcase. It fills the entire Las Vegas Convention Center, 17 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.120 the whole thing, including all the new expansion wings. I 18 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:24.719 mean literally wall to wall in the convention center, over 19 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:29.079 a one million square feet of exhibit space, nearly two 20 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.680 thousand exhibitors and well well over one hundred thousand people 21 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:38.519 in attendance, most industry professionals, some homeowners of most industry professionals. 22 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.319 There's a lot to take in. And every year after 23 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.799 the show wraps up, I bring you the Best of 24 00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.120 the International Builders Show all of the things that I 25 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.120 think will be of interest to you, at least to 26 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.319 the top things. And it's fun. It's fun to talk 27 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.040 about what's changing on the horizon in the building industry, 28 00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.719 what new products or innovations are out there, give you 29 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.400 a sense of where things are going. And so that's 30 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.640 what we're doing. It's gonna take today and tomorrow's show, 31 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:10.360 both shows to get it all done. So today part 32 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:14.680 one of the Best of the International Builders Show for 33 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:18.800 twenty twenty five. And yes, I will not be using 34 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.199 the abbreviation for the show which they use, which is IBS, 35 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.960 which also stands for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I don't know 36 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.439 why they've labeled it that way. You could have come 37 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.280 up with a different one, but we're just gonna call 38 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:37.039 it the International Builder Show, Oh Builders.

Very first thing, 101 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.720 in fact, I think, if I'm not mistaken, this actually 102 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:30.560 won Best in Show for the entire show is a 103 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.519 garage door and so this is of interest to some 104 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.319 of you. No doubt you may or may not know 105 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:43.639 this brand, Clo pey Clo pay Clope. Clope is a 106 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:48.000 major manufacturer of garage doors. They have been an industry 107 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:52.759 leader for a long long time. They introduced at the 108 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.279 Builder Show this year the what they call the Vertu 109 00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:02.480 Stack v er Ti Verti Stack garage door. And my 110 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:08.240 only explanation for it is, look, ma, no rails. Yes, 111 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.920 imagine this. That's a sectional garage door. I believe right 112 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:18.120 now it's it's the model they were displaying is a 113 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.920 contemporary door. But I don't know why this wouldn't apply 114 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.680 to any sectional garage door. We'll have to check with 115 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.160 Club Pay on that. But we're looking at a contemporary 116 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.360 aluminum and glass door, very very cool looking garage door. 117 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:35.560 Imagine the sections of your garage door and how your 118 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.439 garage door works. When it's time to open your garage door, 119 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:43.000 the opener starts pulling the entire door up and over 120 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:47.720 that curved railing system and then sets it along the 121 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.480 ceiling of your garage. And other words, there are rails 122 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:54.800 that run up and over your ceiling. And because the 123 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.480 garage door has to slide up onto the ceiling. Then 124 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.600 there are limited applytions for what you can do to 125 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.560 the ceiling. In other words, when the door is open, 126 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:06.000 it blocks lights that might be in the ceiling from 127 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:11.199 shining down on the floor. It also eliminates the ability 128 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:14.519 to have storage or anything else up there. Racking system. 129 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.360 You have to work all of that around the rails 130 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:24.240 well the verti stack door instead of remaining all intact 131 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:31.199 one big sliding door system. As the door is retracted, 132 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:36.080 every rail panel I mean every sectional panel I should say, 133 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.799 disengages and floats next to the next panel. What this 134 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:44.639 essentially means is that all of the sections of this 135 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.600 garage door collect in For lack of a better term, 136 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.799 this is my term, not there's a balance over the 137 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.720 garage door on the inside of the garage. Okay, if 138 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:59.200 that makes sense. Imagine like pulling up a blind in 139 00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:05.399 your house, right, pulling up adjustable blinds and they all 140 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.679 pull up inside the balance. Well, that is essentially what 141 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:14.240 the verdistat garage door does. No rails, no door traveling 142 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:17.159 across the ceiling of the garage. It all ends up 143 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:22.080 in this cartridge valance above the garage door header mounted 144 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:27.399 to the front door wall of the garage, no rails, 145 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:32.879 no rails, that's from Clope. That is a major major 146 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:36.799 technology change. And yes, it won't be long before you 147 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:41.600 see all sorts of garage door company garage door manufacturers 148 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.120 producing their own version of this. I don't know this 149 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.559 particular one, the patent how long it'll last. But Clope 150 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:50.720 has got it, and they've got it now, and they've 151 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:56.399 figured it out. Very very reliable, very very secure, well tested, 152 00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:59.559 well received in the industry. One best in Show at 153 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:03.200 the Internet National Builder Show for new product, the Clope 154 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.919 Vertie stack garage door. So just imagine that. Imagine if 155 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:11.720 you could open your sectional garage door and have no 156 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.480 garage door on the ceiling above you, giving the freedom 157 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:19.279 to do anything you want or need to do with 158 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:23.399 the ceiling of your garage, including tons of storage up there, 159 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:27.679 racking down below, covering the entire surface of the garage. 160 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:31.159 That is a game changer, is it not? Yes? It 161 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.399 is all right, I got more, We'll do it. 162 00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:38.399 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 163 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:41.919 six forty, KFI AM. 164 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:47.759 Six forty live streaming and HD everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 165 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.679 Dean Sharp the House whisper with you this morning.

But 184 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.120 right now I want to continue with our taking a 185 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.919 look at today and tomorrow's show, and if you're a 186 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:02.360 podcast listener, this episode and the next the Best of 187 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:06.639 the International Builders Show twenty twenty five Today Part one, 188 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:14.200 the next episode tomorrow's broadcast Part two. Okay, let's talk 189 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:18.519 about Let's talk about something that actually has got me 190 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:24.360 pretty excited for kitchen design, and that is a major 191 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.279 appliance changed, Tina, you're gonna want to get in on 192 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:28.639 this one. 193 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:28.919 Here. 194 00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:34.480 LG Solid Solid appliance manufacturer, one of the finest, I 195 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:39.120 would say in recent years, LG at the Builders Show 196 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:49.000 introduced their new thin door, thin door, counter depth full 197 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:53.559 size refrigerator. Okay, Now, Tina will tell you that one 198 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.440 of the things that we strive to do when we're 199 00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:01.080 designing a new kitchen is too of course, we encourage 200 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.320 clients these days, if you want the best looking kitchen, 201 00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.919 to go for a counter depth fridge so that you 202 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.039 don't have a full depth fridge sticking out a good 203 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:15.639 four to six inches beyond the cabinet space. So counter 204 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.159 depth fridges are all the rage. They have been for 205 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:23.200 a good amount of time, and manufacturers have been getting 206 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.080 better at increasing the capacity of those fridges because they 207 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.159 are shallower, so sometimes they make them a little taller, 208 00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.559 sometimes they make them a little wider so you can 209 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.120 get closer to the same cubic footage. But the key 210 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:40.720 is this even a freestanding counter depth refrigerator. If you 211 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:44.600 will take a look on the market they have, there 212 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:48.000 are certain requirements for the cabinets coming up to them 213 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.360 because the hinges are standard hinges on these refrigerators, so 214 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.919 they need a little bit of space clearance around them, 215 00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.200 a little bit of frame clearance around them. And the 216 00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:00.559 second thing is the doors themselves, even though they unit. 217 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:04.039 When we say counterdepth, we mean the refrigerator box right 218 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:08.559 up to the gasket that seals the front door. Okay, 219 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.000 the box goes completely flush, but the door sticks out, 220 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:18.240 and most doors are on average about four inches thick. Okay, 221 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.440 that's a that's a nice little intrusion into the kitchen. Still, well, 222 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:27.759 guess what LG unveiled at the builders show the LG 223 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:32.679 thin door design for counterdepth refrigerators, a forty five percent 224 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:38.840 thinner door. The door on this fridge is two point 225 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:44.279 two inches thick overall. That is forty five percent thinner. 226 00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.440 I mean two two that's not even two and a 227 00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.080 quarter inches thick. That is the door. So what they've 228 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:55.200 done is they've improved massively their insulative quality in a 229 00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:58.720 much smaller space. So they've made this a fully insulated 230 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:04.519 door that's flat, not beveled or rounded, perfectly flat across, 231 00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:09.080 just a little over two inches thick, and zero clearance hinges, 232 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.279 so that as the door opens, it also shifts in 233 00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:16.080 the back of it shifts in, so it does not 234 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.559 in any way in true you can run cabinetry doors, 235 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:24.679 drawers or whatever panels right up next to this refrigerator 236 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.279 where the refrigerator hole is. That's gonna make a big 237 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.039 difference in it. I'm thinking, I mean, that's that's great. 238 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.159 And again, you know the reason I share these things 239 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:38.360 with you, the things I try and pick as we 240 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:42.240 take a look at these things. These are industry leaders. 241 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:45.919 And the good news is not that, oh, well, great, 242 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.320 there's one out there that we can choose from. No, no, no. 243 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.360 The good news is whenever somebody breaks through this barrier 244 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:57.440 and does something like this, you can be guaranteed that 245 00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.159 the rest of the industry will follow. Because this this 246 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.799 is meeting a need that has been on everybody's wish 247 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:08.399 list for a long long time. So LG has done it. 248 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:12.080 They've broken the sound barrier, as it were, on this issue. 249 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:16.960 They are producing a thin, flat refrigerator door for a 250 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:21.679 full size refrigerator that is counter depth, zero clearance hinges, 251 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.000 and as a result, kitchens are going to from here 252 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.840 on out, you'll see I guarantee you're going to see 253 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.639 GE come out with it soon. You'll see all the 254 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:36.639 major manufacturers following suit with their own version of a 255 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:39.600 thinner door. Because it's not like LG is holding on 256 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:41.960 to some secret magic. They've just cracked the coat. And 257 00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:45.799 then everybody's gonna come. Everybody's gonna come because everybody wants 258 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:49.279 a free standing refrigerator that slides in and just looks 259 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.759 built in from the moment that you put it in 260 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:55.759 there without paying the you know roughly six to ten 261 00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:00.080 thousand dollars that it costs to buy an actual bill 262 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.080 tin refrigerator and all the issues that it has. So 263 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:09.720 this is impressive LG thin door, counter depth refrigerator with 264 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:12.759 zero clearance hinges. It's going to be a game changer 265 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:16.200 for the industry. So if you are thinking again about remodeling, 266 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:18.920 you're thinking about new appliances, you got to go over 267 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.160 and check it out. And am I saying wait until 268 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:23.720 everybody else comes out with you? No, the LG. It's 269 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:29.119 a beautiful machine. LG is solid, solid, solid solid appliance manufacturer, 270 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:32.400 one of the best out there right now. Also, I'm 271 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:37.720 going to tack this on because LG again an introduced something. 272 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:40.200 Now they've they've been toying with this and doing this 273 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:43.440 a lot, but they're they've made this clear and Tina, 274 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:49.480 this is relevant to you too. LG has officially now 275 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:55.680 introduced its new luxury brand. Okay, so you guys know this. 276 00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.960 Like in the car industry, right, like every car manufacturer 277 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:02.440 are a lot of them have their luxury version, Like 278 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:06.240 Toyota has Lexus, right, they're made by Toyota Corporation. That 279 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:09.960 kind of thing. It's true in the appliance industry as 280 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.880 well quite often, like GE has Monogram. Monogram is a 281 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.480 different brand technically produced by General Electric and it's their 282 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.960 luxury version. Well, LG is now following suit. LG is 283 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:28.799 now introducing SKS, which is Signature Kitchen Suite. So you 284 00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:33.039 see an SKS. It is a luxury appliance brand. It 285 00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.720 is made by LG, but it's made for the luxury market. 286 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:39.759 One of the things that they were showing off the 287 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:47.960 show was their energy Star Flex induction cooktop. Okay, four inductors. Okay, 288 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.279 four zones, but the two zones on each side are 289 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.519 completely flex as in they can be joined together at 290 00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:01.799 whatever proportion is needed. So literally, if you need fourteen 291 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:06.960 inches by nine inches of burner induction hob, you can 292 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:08.960 have that, or you can have the whole depth, or 293 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.240 you can isolate it just down to one. It is flexible. 294 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.759 It reminds me of the ge monogram where it doesn't 295 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:17.759 even have any markings on the surface. Just put a 296 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:20.480 pot down and it forms a ring around it and says, okay, 297 00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:23.119 that's where it is. But this is a very it 298 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:28.119 is It's a thirty six inch sks thirty seven hundred 299 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:32.240 watts of power per a hub up to and that's 300 00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:36.839 amazing power. It's got eleven inch dual center element that 301 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.119 throws out seven thousand watts of power in that center, 302 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:45.599 which is more powerful than most induction cooktops that I've seen, which, 303 00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.039 by the way, and most induction cooktops are more powerful 304 00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.240 than your top of the line gas cook top. So 305 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.920 what am I saying? This is a crazy fast, crazy 306 00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:02.000 powerful cook top that beats out gas cooktops in performance 307 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:08.079 on every level. And it's perfectly flat glass, no knobs, 308 00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:13.200 all touchscreen on top. Pretty amazing anyway. That is this 309 00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:19.000 year from LG SKS Luxury Signature Kitchen Suite Luxury brand, 310 00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:26.279 introducing officially and in the LG line, the zero clearance, 311 00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:31.359 hinged thin door, counter depth refrigerator. All right, I got more. 312 00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:33.400 But guess what when we come back, we're gonna take 313 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:34.839 a couple of calls. How's that sound? 314 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:35.240 Yeah? 315 00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.519 Yeah, you're home with Dean Sharp the house Whisper.

I want you to enjoy your Saturday. 326 00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:19.519 The number to reach me, by the way, eight three 327 00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:24.319 three two ask Dean eight three three The numeral to 328 00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:30.000 ask Dean about anything regarding your home today, and I 329 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.400 mentioned that because it's time to go to the phones, 330 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:36.480 I want to talk to Dave A. Dave, welcome home. 331 00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:41.240 Wedning, Thanks for taking my car, love you, love your show. 332 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:45.759 We've got a fifty year old flat riff one car 333 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.839 garage with rolled riffing on it and it has a 334 00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:54.319 lot of suddling in the rain. We have to sweep 335 00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:54.640 it up. 336 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.559 What if anything should we do when installing the new 337 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:05.079 roofing to eliminate to flatten it out is I've heard 338 00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:09.279 there's a foam you can put on the plywood that 339 00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:13.079 will either I think it creates a dome or it 340 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:16.759 makes it levels it out so. 341 00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.319 That you don't have the PEDALNK. 342 00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:23.920 Yeah, there are some foam products that will do that 343 00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:27.039 that will create a slight kind of you know, for 344 00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:28.920 lack of a better term, on a flat roof, a 345 00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:34.279 hump which will basically give a little bit of pitch 346 00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:40.680 to a flat roof scenario. I would, honestly though, unless 347 00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:43.640 you're looking for extra insulated value or anything like that, 348 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:47.079 I think I would. I would. I would defer to 349 00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:51.079 my roofer and only talk to a roofer who is 350 00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:55.279 a specialist in flat roofs. In this case, I think 351 00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:02.279 a layered PVC productor out PVC product. And then the 352 00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:04.720 thing that that that I like about a pour out 353 00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:09.079 PVC coating is that it will self level UH. In 354 00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:12.680 other words, you know wherever the the dips are and 355 00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:15.759 UH and the you know the that have been causing 356 00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:20.119 the puddling. The first couple of layers of the PVC 357 00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:24.759 poor will fill those in and UH and self level 358 00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:28.799 and then as you apply the the final layers, you're 359 00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:31.720 really working on an area now where there isn't any puddling. 360 00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:34.079 And so it's a what you're gonna do is you 361 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:37.759 want to talk to your roof for specifically about self 362 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:45.279 leveling compounds for that roof before you apply the final coatings. 363 00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:48.039 And there are so many different ways to do flat roofs. 364 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:50.440 That's why I'm not specking one over the other because 365 00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:53.720 I don't I don't want to presume what the best 366 00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:58.039 roof scenario is for you versus the best self leveling. 367 00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:01.160 But I would say my first guest stab in the 368 00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:05.880 dark would be that you use a pour out self 369 00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:09.920 leveling material that then will bond to the other roofing 370 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.799 layers as you go as opposed to let's say, just 371 00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:19.319 rolling out rolls of self ceiling bittermous membrane or self 372 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:26.799 ceiling kind of you know, edge stretchable edge material that 373 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:30.319 will all self seal and make a beautiful flat roof, 374 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:33.799 but it won't necessarily take care of the dips that 375 00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:39.200 are causing puddling. So a pour out self leveling system, Dave, 376 00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:42.119 that's the first thing. And you talk to a roofer 377 00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:44.160 who specialized in flat roofs, and they're going to know 378 00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:46.359 exactly what to do with it. 379 00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:47.000 Beautiful. 380 00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.359 Thank you, you're great. 381 00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:53.240 All right, buddy, thanks for your question, but appreciate it. 382 00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:56.720 Should we join, you know, we'll start, we'll at least 383 00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.880 start Joan, Welcome home, Aladine. 384 00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:05.480 I have a leak in the mainline of the house, 385 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:10.599 somewhere between the meter and the house, and I had 386 00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:15.400 called DWP out to examine the meter and they noticed 387 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:17.640 all them there was a lot of moisture in and 388 00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:22.839 around the meter itself, and they suspected a pinhole leak 389 00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:26.720 just based on the fact that all that water was 390 00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:31.960 around the meter. So I called the plumber out to 391 00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:34.839 see if they could locate a leak within arm's lengths 392 00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:38.559 of the meter and they could not easily find anything. 393 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:44.119 So my question is, well they, by the way, they 394 00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:48.240 had suggested as a result that I get sonar, get 395 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:53.759 somebody that could do a sonar evaluation to identify where 396 00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:57.000 the leak is, and that they would follow behind and 397 00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:00.359 do a repair. But I wanted to get your thoughts 398 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:01.759 about the whole situation. 399 00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:06.599 Okay, so these are tricky things. We were just dealing 400 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:10.480 with a last weekend, a good friend of mine had 401 00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:13.279
