And it also have a handicapped restroom on the next floor you know and after -- And an elegant this -- that is I'm not going to name is what we have here is laying voted copper flashing is tied into the sea and the and any goes down and it would turn out under. A brick that's in the break in the air and in the -- and it is where the water that might in the wall would rip out walls and you'll you'll see this and then you you'll see that in the end product in the whole purpose of this is to channel any water that might get inside the wall. Outlaw OK so -- presume you've got arrangement -- it adds that -- yes there's -- school system. Footing drains underneath. And in fact you can you can see -- little bit of what is going to be time into right back here we've we've -- started digging toward the putting -- for the main building.
