Well I found out what I did wrong when we built the out we've built a house and we've cut insulation in the eaves of the out. When we build it so we could heat it so we could shout the wall to know all of climbing and all the electrical things like that Ok You know we didn't take that insulation back out of us we wanted the vents so on that on the in the on the the right Ok so you you know you block the vents by doing the you're going to conservation now what's going on. Airflow would block the fence was nowhere flow into the I think. We are. We took off the chain old switched off the outside home why wouldn't so we could get to insulation to take it out so there was no way that you could do that from inside the inside the attic itself no. No unless you could I mean it's of course well you could get in there. The sheets of plywood on the outside were there on the spot. Yeah so they had to come off anyway you know. And that way we could figure out what was going on yeah that was it that was a bit I was an oversight you'll never do again huh. Sure I mean that last 7 years Yeah well I think a lot of houses that were built around that same time frame have moisture have moisture issues like that I feel it did something that that we've learned a lot over the last 27 years as when I was doing home inspections I would find a lot of damage plywood in those homes that were 2535 years old that quick caused directly by having not enough ventilation in your case the ventilation was completely blocked off it was not unusual for these houses not have anough then elation as a result the plywood got way the laminated so it sounds like you're on your way to getting this completely resolved correct yes no only thing is. Wonder how that will help or eating or anything else because it will have equal. Well that that actually surprisingly is a good thing you want your attics to be drafty if you're using fiberglass insulation you want to keep the heat at the attic floor or the upper upper ceiling level of your home so that's why you've insulate that that everything above if it's mentally it properly should be a temperature because this way in the summer the heat vents out in the winter with the moisture vents out so I don't see an increase I think you might see if anything a decrease Now I will latch and if you were to not have fiberglass insulation and you were to use spray foam instead which is an upgrade that many people made in myself included in that case then you have no ventilation because that's an unvented system of insulation that doesn't require the vent and well we did with the fence fiberglass then we have since blowing them up with Ok so you do need to have invented so now you have soffit vents and ridge vents if plenty of air and then attic. Where the stick. Where dance on the roof Ok time and then after wasting all that the 1st time pro gear to go in with Richard and then Ok well that sounds like you're on the road to recovery now so sorry that happened to you but I think you did the right thing well at that point 7 years find out we. Mustn't learn now you've shared tale with the world here so no one will make that mistake it's listening to the show and there you know well good luck thank you you know now that Christy in Pennsylvania has got a question about some painted paneling of a lot of peas Let's see what we can do let's go out and I have a. Harrowing night. And it has started to peel off the old. One of the work that you can like. Update don't want him gone. Made the point and it ever could now. I'm interrupted I thought you wanted to figure out how to. Put it on which. Would actually take here man I don't know Leslie I mean if that wallpapers is peeling away especially being behind a stove were subjected to a lot of steam and that sort of thing I think is a very very difficult to get that you read here I think we're looking at who are normal wear and tear here and wrap a different type of wall material would be would be beneficial is your landlord the least bit interested in them in making a repair like that are these trying to do them if they're there get fan of command it's showing. How I know it now I'm thinking about risk and yeah yeah not how do I repair it in some way I can I can't because I think pain for on you can only get a kick Yeah we certainly shouldn't do that because you are going to need some other type of covering for that I mean you could do something as simple as mosaic tile just over the counter top would that be something you might be interested in doing and then you make me think that support with that meaning you could glue it directly to the dry why would Paul lose paper and then you could glue the tile right over the drywall with mastic a tile that he said and then you'd simply have to grout it I think that this point no solution that we're going to give you that will be your push or seal that loose paperback and even if you use new wallpaper he said it it might work for a little while but I guess they can area like that it's unrealistic to expect the wallpaper to be able to stand up.

Have a storm cellar. And if an old storm cellar it's probably night and dirty concrete you know you're Ok and have no cracks or anything and and the door is the slant you enter the Momo stairway it goes down it's all free and there's no evidence of an amazing but it's leaking moisture in the bottom of it and the door it to me is a metal door with a ridges around it the water running in there so it's gotta be coming in from the ground through the concrete Ok one put up put on the old concrete on the end of the storm so I don't want to dig out below it and do behind it the answer is this nothing not a single thing you don't need to paint the inside because no matter what you put on the inside if water wants to get in there it's going to get in there your water is coming in from the outside so what you need to do is take a look at the drainage conditions right around the outside of that house so for example if you've got if you don't have gutters on the roof you gotta have gutters if you don't have downspouts that are extended several feet from the house very often when downspouts and guns are put on the job. In that ward as you turn good rate back in you need to manage the water on the outside of the perimeter of that space because that is the only way to stop war from getting in if you do that you're going to find just good success now that doesn't include the possibility that if this door and you know side them are quite sure what kind of door you're talking money talking about like an angled basement door like a Bilko door. Or Jani if they if they meddle if they read all they have e-mailed or were you open and that. Right now that's you know that's like saying if I'm no exact would you know until it's a bill code or yeah so I mean it's all is that's not legal but you can easily figure that out stick a hose in and run it right over the door over the edge or see begin the water through but that's not leaking that were definitely coming out of the foundation primmer So what happens is you'll have a settlement usually right around the house you know one house is built the slope is pretty good over the years and sinks down so sometimes you need to add some soil the slope group that slope away but the most common cause of this is just not maintaining the gutters or not haven't got or you might have a gutters that are discharging far enough away from the building Ok so I thank you I enjoy your show so much and you are drinking together I mean I. Don't think your cute Yes she keeps you straightened out then she does madam and she absolutely . Can do it without or we all know that of all things in the family and. Thank you.
