[00:00:36] Eric Goranson: com. And make sure you check us out on the radio. And of course, all of our, about 420 videos. That are over there that are about, well, everything home improvement from expert interviews to trying out the latest and newest products. And we even do some reviews of those Amazon products. You see the go, wow, that's way cheap for a knockoff.
[:[00:01:21] Eric Goranson: And so this lady, Dr. Leslie Dobson, a clinical and forensic psychologist in California, basically goes off on a rant that it's too dangerous with her kids to not return shopping carts. And I went, okay, this lady is so self absorbed in her own world that she can't go grocery shopping. She can't go shop in a target, whatever she's out shopping for.
[:[00:02:39] Eric Goranson: I think this is the same person that parks their sports car or their little SUV with no trailer in that extra long spot because it's close. So I think these are the same exact people that have no consideration for others out there that decide to park in the home Depot trailer parking area and park right there because no.[00:03:00]
[:[00:03:32] Eric Goranson: Because they've got to get into there and get out to the job site. So I think that's the same exact people that are doing this, the non shopping cart returners and you guys get your act together out there. Be a part of society. And, uh, put it back. So the rest of us don't have to deal with no place to park or a door dig in our car because it slid down the parking lot and into my vehicle.
[:[00:04:18] Eric Goranson: So the assembly instructions can cause consumers to incorrectly attach the bottom portion of the tiller cultivator upside down, causing the tines to rotate towards the user, posing a laceration hazard. So, there's about 44, 000 of those things. Basically, if you installed it backwards, And they're going wrong.
[:[00:04:54] Eric Goranson: About 2, 400 of those, not a big deal. The other one here that I think is big is [00:05:00] again, this is another one of those Chinese companies, C H Z H V A N combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors recalled due to failure to alert to fire. And these are Amazon. And there's no way I'm going to try to give you the 42 letter name.
[:[00:05:33] Eric Goranson: They probably weren't that expensive, but it's C H Z H V A N. There are white with a black center, smart thing on them basically. And they've recalled those because of that. And of course. We talked about it earlier, but Electrolux group renounces recall Frigidaire and Kenmore electric ranges due to fire and burn hazards.
[:[00:06:12] Eric Goranson: And typically lumber future prices have really told the story moving forward about what lumber prices have been something. It is not over the last probably four months. It is really not been talking the truth about what's happening on the retail sector. It used to be those kind of correlated pretty well.
[:[00:06:57] Eric Goranson: So I think we've got two things going on right now out there, [00:07:00] guys. We've got inflation. Which has been hurting us. And then as well, I think that we've got people including lumber mills and distributors and retailers that are taking a little profit taking right now because sheet rock keeps going up and going up.
[:[00:07:36] Eric Goranson: And I'm curious to see what you guys have out there in your area. So feel free to send me a message over to round the house online. I'd love to hear what the prices are in your area. Usually they're about the same across the U S but I'm always curious to see how good or bad it is. If you're in Alaska or Hawaii, I totally get it or places that maybe Have a limited supplier.
[:[00:08:13] Eric Goranson: So just love to hear what you guys have to think about prices out there. And I'm checking here in the morning of the 5th of June right now. And that's where I'm going off of here in my Portland, Oregon area that I'm Metro area that I'm located in. All right, guys, we got a great show coming up this weekend.
[:[00:08:51] Eric Goranson: This thing is killer. I'll show you how to install it and it makes it for an easy job and it'll handle a solid core pocket door with ease. [00:09:00] With ease. And actually you want one for this because it's just that high quality. So that's good. We've got so many other things. We're going to do some power tool, actually some hand tool sharpening.
