it could rust out. you have to make sure it is the cure. -- it's a bolt. it could rust out. you have to make sure it's secure. >> check it and fix it before it is a problem. and here is a wooden ladder. about six months ago, the board of supervisors passed a law that said every wooden ladder must be removed. that follows the unfortunate death of somebody who fell backwards and died. you cannot use these, and i would never encourage somebody. i certainly could not climb one of these. who knows what is holding it on? rusty nails? let's talk about groups. we did not expect homeowners to get on the route to often, but sometimes you can get up on your flat roofs. what do you have to do for routine maintenance on those? >> you can always tell, if groups are starting to bubble, that is a sign, it protect the roofing membrane from the sun so if there is none, ultraviolet light will be deteriorating, and it will start to bubble. all of the route jacks are the first signs of with a member in fails, so you want to check around those. all of those areas you have to check. anywhere there

we see rusting of connecters, a serious problem and a reason for to you make sure you're keeping that stucco painted and coated. do we have to seal the grout and the masonry around brick? >> if you don't, if you don't seal the brick, then water penetrates through and you have the same problem as you have with stucco. most of the dry rock that we come across is either in stucco or brick because the water gets in and gets trapped and can't get back out. where the wood breathes better. so, wood gets -- water gets behind stucco. the worst dry rot is always behind a brick or a stucco facade. >> brick has a special problem and a special reason for you to make sure that it is waterproof and that's because it has metal fasteners that keep the brick attached to the building. if the fasteners rust, the brick is just sitting there and in an earthquake the whole brick can fall off. >> you should always have a six-inch separation between the lowest shingle or piece of siding and ground contact. and that should be a concrete foundation there. >> so it's probably -- there probably is a foundation bu

that well could be rusted. who knows? before we started to talk, dave and i were looking at some of these slides and we're talking about the stairs. they're not just wood. but they may be made of concrete, for example, the gray stairs here are probably concrete at the bottom. often there's brick underneath that's holding up the stair itself and then there's wood for some of the members. in an earthquake, all these things move at different speeds. they all expand and contract with the change of the weather and seasons at different speeds. and it means that it's very hard to flash and maintain all these different materials where they're working together. >> well, flash and ignore for five, 10, 20 years. something like that becomes an annual maintenance project. >> so you look at a lot of these? >> a lot of those. and again, out to prevention. the wooden exterior stairs, the older ones, you need to keep them painted and sealed. you can't let the water be seeping in. the south side where you hit the sun, that's what breaks do

and rust cannot be avoided because if you use some anti-rust product you destroy any genetic materialt to go into this, but the material that was taken 3 1/2 years ago was definitive. >> dna expert greg hampikian says even if the dna was preserved it doesn't explain how a single sample of raffaele's dna was all that was found in a bloody and violent crime scene. >> if that's all there is, and from what i've seen that's all there is, then it's a very weak piece of evidence. and it's inconsistent with every other piece of evidence in the case. >> twice a week, amanda's stepfather, chris mellas, makes the drive to the prison where his 23-year-old stepdaughter is being held. he works in computer software and was able to move to italy so amanda would always have at least one member of the family here. >> it's about a half hour outside of perugia. >> he is hoping this summer he and amanda will move back home to seattle. but despite the evidence or lack of evidence being presented in the appeal, neither one appears to be hopeful. >> and how is she holding up? i heard you saying she doesn't w

quote rust bucket shouldn't still be treating the country's waterways investigative committee claims mechanical failure is to blame for the disaster. we'll have more on this of course throughout the day here on r t but first the lead is up next with the business news. a thanks much this is business saucy hello and welcome to the program russia has increased its crude oil production for cars to five hundred nine million tons the quantity of russian oil products is still very low and it's becoming more and more urgent for russia to modernize its refinery capacity and prime minister putin is going to make sure it will happen as a political report. prime minister was obviously unsatisfied that rush of the world's biggest oil producer has such a weak refighting industry he says it's too as it was fifty years ago demand for high quality fuel in russia grows at double digit rates annually however refining has been called by there in volumes or in quality experts say legislation russian made it more profitable for oil producers to explore crude oil low quality oil products but now putin says

engineers in the 1950s discovered rust on the tunnel's valves. there were concerns that if they closed the valves for tunnel inspections, they may never open again, leaving new york city without water. so they chose to keep them open. as a result, there has not been significant inspection, maintenance, or repair of the tunnels in decades. no one knows their current condition. hurwitz: currently, city tunnel 1 and city tunnel number 2 would be feeding each half of the city. so you'd lose half the city if you didn't have a replacement. narrator: without half of its water supply, the city would shut down. for nearly 40 years, new york has been in the process of constructing a solution. man: this project is water tunnel number 3. we started on this project in 1969. i'm a sandhog. i've been a sandhog for 37 years. narrator: sandhogs are the men of local 147, who work deep below the city. they began building the infrastructure of new york in 1872. from the subways to the sewers, the water tunnels to the highway tunnels, new york city thrives because of
