" So it looks as though you've got everything back here from varsity who needed to put this railing together in your -- that a group were quite heads that I. Putting it the other way you've got a how did you arrive at this layout. Well we actually copied this from another railing that was already existing on the house that he spacing for -- so we can match what was so they're -- what was here is nearly all of this is no. And what they did down there at Forester is take those old the Caspian basin -- No actually made new -- them -- they putting these together on one pass. NN special machine with multiple -- makes it 11 passed last going to be something so this is identical to what you had before and I see that. We've got everything all primed out already right you want to. Prime it had a time you know you don't want any water to penetrate -- thing. It's it's also it's made of cedar here western red cedar -- So is this ready to put in this is ready to go we can go ahead -- thank you really isn't sir. -- aren't okay. And you say this is red cedar this is what they call select red cedar right yes actually clear -- what they call it around here we'll slide the bottom in first which means it's not clear of -- has there's no knots no splits. Stuff like that movement. -- okay. Now when it did. It's check it so it's level to the other one. I -- you know its feet that we have to come up like half an inch over there so OK OK can bring them -- we need to action. Now -- to check him level down that women we'll attach it to the attach it to the post will be also got to come up a little on my side OK I got -- much more do we need there looks like you're gonna come about a quarter of an inch. Strong. Of that. Let them off so it's good and then they'll go ahead and attach you hold onto it -- I got a hold of olestra. Now we already put center lines in here so we know where to know right where Tony -- right where to mount some. Drill pilot holes first."

" That's one of the good things about cedar it is a soft -- so that this piece receiving it is not easy to throw and so -- do the same process on this and we've moved. But -- and secure us and I would do the same thing to the bottoms. You secure them and the last thing we want to put on here is this not defending Al dale. Rich is. Made of cedar again select cedar and what we do here is that today yet the screw that actually is threaded on both ends. Is put a pilot hole in here and get this end into the finial. The pilot hole here on the newel post. And then that just screws right into place but before we do that we want to get a little primer in here and on this as well because that's. Let's or after -- make sure everything is really sealed up and you want to get climate like lifts the especially -- water action and stop rot right OK problem for the water from getting in there and also from you know at cedar bleeding out yeah cedars can. Make -- paint look rusty right yeah. It through even after it's painted. And we'll get the bottom of the and we're going to kind of Hannity it's really we needed to. Smash into all the floors and -- keep -- the water aren't okay. Goes right on there."
