[00:00:34] Before the new year. This is the last one for 2022. And I wanna start out by saying thank you to you guys. Man, every single one of you have been amazing this last year with how many new people we have in the around the House Nation to our Facebook group, uh, Instagram, and of course our Facebook close group.
[:[00:01:17] You'll be able to stream it and I'll be able to give it that so you can watch it yourself. Mobile device and you'll be able to catch it on YouTube as well. So we have a lot of great things coming and uh, this here is not gonna change as far as around the house show, on the radio and podcast. So we've got a lot of great things ahead.
[:[00:01:51] Everything's fine. Uh, I have a high wind warning outside where we could get 65 mile an hour winds and you will probably. [00:02:00] Tree pieces, pine cones bouncing off the side of the roof of the building here. So, uh, it's a little crazy and that's why I wanted to get this done and get it out before we lose power and or internet.
[:[00:02:34] So make sure that your Samsung washer is plugged in and it will update itself and that will change it. So it's not a fire hazard. Think about this, how many times we talked about recalls being repaired by software That's kind of. They figured out a way to do that. So that, uh, make sure that you can do that.
[:[00:03:15] So make sure you do that. Um, pretty cool how that. Using that. So that's pretty dang impressive. Now, one of the other things, if you have a Sundance spa, Sundance Spas Recalling Jacuzzi and Sundance Spa brand Hot tubs due to injury and thermal burn hazards. So the temperature sensor can relay incorrect water temperatures and cause the water to be much hotter than the temperature posing injury, heat stroke and thermal burn hazard.
[:[00:04:02] Find a dealer or sundance spas.com. Find a dealer. And, uh, there's about 23,700 units that are being recalled and about 500, uh, 5,400 in Canada, and about 40 were sold in Mexico. Seems like Mexico might not be the spa corner of the world for them. And then, uh, I think that's kind of the most of the big ones out there right now.
[:[00:04:48] So that recalls, uh, that's all our recalls for the day today. So thanks again for that one. If you have any questions where you can find this information that I'm talking about today, uh, you can just go to [00:05:00] cpc.gov/recalls and all the detailed information can be found there. Well, tell you what, it's been interesting here, uh, in my Pacific Northwest where I'm living in the Portland metro area, we have had a ton of weather issues from ice storms to.
[:[00:05:39] And it was leaning at an angle, you know, the roots came loose and it tilted over and hit the house. Tree Company came in. and they kind of messed up on the tree. Company did. Obviously these guys knew what they were doing, but really didn't know how to deal with it on top of a house. So they came in, it was [00:06:00] laying across the top.
[:[00:06:27] They ended up cutting it off at the stomp. Well it was leaning and as soon as they cut it off the stump where they cut it, it dropped down four feet. Which shock loaded the tree, which now folate into the house, it looked like another five or six feet causing double the damage it seemed. By looking at the video, then what happened before.
[:[00:07:11] So, uh, that's a big deal when you see a tree do that kind of damage all the way down to the concrete. So it tells you what kind of loads got pushed down into that. So they've got some, uh, serious issues there. And unfortunately, At the best efforts of the arborist and and or tree company, it, uh, did a lot more damage than, uh, initially done by just the tree falling.
[:[00:07:47] And of course that did a boatload of more. So just something to think about when you're peeling logs off your house. All right guys. Well, and then, uh, another one here too. Uh, this was interesting. I don't [00:08:00] know if you saw this and I had posted this up on Facebook, so if you're part of, uh, around the house show over there on uh, Facebook, I posted this up and holy smokes, this was crazy.
[:[00:08:41] And this, uh, looked like pronto plumbing. Was out front, so it looks like they were working on it. And, uh, they hit the gas line at some point. Obviously got inside the house, something ignited it, and you can watch that entire roof. That thing has [00:09:00] to hit a hundred feet in the air before it blows into a million pieces.
[:[00:09:24] There is nothing left of this house. I mean, it looked like, it looked like it got hit with an airstrike. It was just gone and, uh, the vehicles around it were, uh, buried, uh, houses around it. Sustained. Damage and structural damage just from that as well. And, uh, boy, one project that went sideways is a DIY project, and you can catch it over there on, uh, one of the reels over there on around the House Show on Facebook.
[:[00:10:07] Hey, make sure if you've got any questions, if you want any questions for a home improvement project you're working on, if you're stuck on something, there's a couple ways to get a hold of me over at, around the house online and you can hit the contact us. I always get back to. So make sure your message over there, or you can hit me over on Facebook around the House Show.
