" The one thing you senators right away three using -- two by six studs for the exterior walls. Which will give us the opportunity to put in fiberglass over an. Keep the cold weather out but also it's an advantage from the point of view. Finishing up inside the house did you put the in his and a two by six -- I thought I'd thought you got that extra just for blockage or whatever. Now -- talk about the layout is right we've got here. Are the pressure treated. Q and top plate which are always put together at the assembly stage so that when you do the lay out. You can do the layout of your locations. On both at the same time at the same time exactly what the police battling in and out the first thing they gonna do it's cut these plates to length so that on this last stud here. They're going to end up on sixteen inch center exactly that -- do so let's start this that you don't have the top and bottom plates kind of wobbling in there not -- Not fastened into a vertical member right to help us along this tape has got every sixteen. Wherever the sixteen inches as far as that it's Colin in read and write a stands out for exactly it."
" Now let's meet Bryan readling from AP the engineered wood association hey -- about -- the now -- objectives in building this dream house is to make it as strong as it possibly can be to withstand certain. Hurricanes earthquakes in the life and let's talk a bit about some of the materials that we're using here. This is the laminated veneer lumber. Header that we're using -- superior to a dimension lumber header. It's it's made similar to plywood in that the veneer. It's the only news. To produce the game but in this case the veneer is not cross oriented as you have with files it's not in the same direction right there aren't going to air support -- you and I don't you can pretty well and in an extreme close up here but it must be twenty layers there. Right so that is what makes this a lot stronger than a regular two by okay. By using individual pieces of veneer you eliminate a lot of the strength reducing characteristics of words. But does not suit the slope of grain that you would have gone to I remember. It really isn't in there right what other products are we using in in the construction there. We're going to be using an oriented strand board exterior walls sheathing. To create our shear wall that is a product that's made with the same real adhesive. This is used in laminated veneer lumber beam or plywood and what kind of adhesive is -- it's not something that people need to worry about in terms of allergies that. -- commitment. And well not a not the product is almost immeasurable tunnel laboratory setting very practically nonexistent right. But yet I know that a lot of builders even are concerned that OSB is strand board or sometimes they miss they call it by the misnomer chip port that it can delaminate especially vulnerable and in situations. Lot of water right. This product is manufactured. With the all intents and that is to be exposed don't feel whether that includes rain. For a temporary period of time under normal construction delays. This product will not lose strength after it's exposed -- well. But what about it it's immersed in water flooding situation it shouldn't be a problem either that's part of the testing today in hasty. Fully impregnate this. Product with water using -- vacuum. It's injected. More or less integrated the interior of the panel and then we test -- through the have a Wall Street yep great well let's the other come along with a law -- OK now we're sliding in what the Jackson of this and we're gonna have a window opening. And so you have."
" To this act that from the other side of these. And then that's sodom. Have what they saw the crippled securities were cut offs then we're gonna set aside from this and I sixty senators. At the top and I'll bring in the other one of these. Extra heavy. Hitters. Which also it nailed together."
" Once the walls ready to go up there are two or three things that need to be done first on the outer perimeter some braces so that when we raise the -- doesn't fall over the side. Secondly. On the sides of the walls and two by four's that will help raise it and help keep the conflict in Guerrero. All right now we're ready to bring it asked why is truly sorry."
" OK Russell are you gonna do deployment. And if the slit -- brief. Back good and that's good."
" Once it's up and made plumb we add these additional temporary pressed."
