" So you never know this is a modular house now the way it's coming together you've got cedar clapboard on the bottom half yep and then all the trim is. Prefinished trim along the these double windows etc. yes. And the steel roofing is coming together getting finished up today yet we just about completed without more than the other waltz afternoon for you on schedule. Yes after. Going to rising -- Well I know that the the shingling. Goes very very quickly because they're not put on one at a time. These are cedar valley panels that are two by eight that's going to make a quick job out of a threat -- application yeah just watched. -- how was the the how does this sheet actually manufactured. I mean I'm look at at what looks like regular plywood this is a five sixteenths CD expert plywood. So it's one side is C once that is."
" The cedar shingles themselves are first manufactured in a band saw process and what that does is it eliminates swirling that you might get with a circular -- also opens up the grain. On a vertical grain products that -- about 35. At least 35% more finish itself or stain or preservative exactly the shingles are then stapled. On top to the product there's a glue bead that runs underneath the shingles. And there's a back staple through the plywood itself didn't at that same glue bead juncture you got some samples over here that I wanted to look at. This on the backside shows. Is this a fiberglass mat after -- coated fiberglass mat that really is laced between each course. It's designed so that if something or get in between the key ways in this Bob is our. -- key way option and hand. Which just shows that distinction between shingles so so that you get the national shadow line yeah exactly if something were to get between the key ways it just runs down the mat on the face the shingle below it gotcha. Does the full sized panel Bob. And you've got a chalk line already in place to get to try and inflation you can see how these joints fit together to give it -- completely seamless appearance. All right now huddled how did they join together there. Bob these panels fit together where -- an interlocking end joint system. At the corners it's the only place where you actually have two panels that butt together and they don't interlock center here we have so little caulking going and yet exactly at corners at window and door tram. That's where you've got to caulk that joint. This is. Also manufactured in the factory -- kids are beautiful woven corner you just order all the ones you need stress disorder by lineal footage Bob and we figure out how many bundles of corners that you need. As you know. Probably one of the most wasteful and labor intensive part of its -- shingling would be the corners you waste 50% of your materials when you weave a corner. It's extremely time consuming course you don't have to weave a corner you can always have corner boards and just butt up against them but. It sure does look pretty when it's a little woven corner like this exactly. In our standard corners. -- one thing but we also make our radius flared corners you can make all the parts and pieces for any application so you never have to use individual shingles and then we're using our system and then you can also. Order something this kind of rough looking like this and -- because we make our own shingles we have the ability be very flexible in exposures in thickness of the shingle and then you can also order them pre stained -- this is just set a brief idea of the different colors that we can put on there. It can be factory finished really in a rainbow of colors --"
" All right let's see how this went fits in there. Very nice."
" Securing them."
" Retirees and just keep on nailing very nice thanks for us the."
