There's a full four by six which is an excellent condition and we're putting in some fifteen pound felt. Paper just -- to keep us. He -- separation there and Larry you've got to the usual unusual situation here. You had to cut into the existing woman we have to cut into the same still have over there the four by six births fell. And what we -- a bill to put a piece of ice and water shield down there to prevent the moisture from the concrete. Through we're entering the warden -- I don't idea that barrier and this'll be a doubled up two by -- right right but with a plywood custody in between but we only put the first one in.

What's the purpose of making this just so be -- former gusted with -- make this outer beam which is going to support. The -- polls which supports the rope that fit. Exactly because he essentially you've your laminated beam it's gonna take the roof -- actually been transferred down to the down to build a deck would repair experts it appears in the case and it just goes nail right on with the same.
