" OK we're getting started today with -- silestone. Countertops. And really. You know the way. And it will this over here is problem that and ask who is joining us from. But you do your business right and a laptop while I don't know -- now the interesting concept is that you can go on the Internet. To order countertops for a kitchen remodel. And how does it work. Well simply the the customer. Lockset and and can shop around online can select the colors. They there yeah absolutely. So customer can come to this site. And it's basically just. We have different fabricator stated we work with. And they have different materials did we have concluded on the website so it's not just silestone which is a man made courtside. Countertop. But -- you get natural stones or other type of man made products anything you want and that is correct we have silestone quartz natural quartz or faces. We also have thought marbles. We have granny it's available in the on the website okay. And what drives were looking at all these this kind of make a comparison is this is the silestone. Which is quartz -- material so it's it's man -- but it has natural quartz in it and it what is this. This is also in silestone. This right here would be the granite. Now the consumer can. Shop around for the colors fifth they will like to two seam person. They can buy them on. You can owners once or shipped to them they can. Play around with a different cabinets -- half stood you can make your choice and annuals and samples -- what are after that is done they can go on -- they can put in the dimensions of the cabinets to lay out bright and that they're going to get a quote. After that -- is gone then we send somebody to mesh. All right now that's the important part that would adds up to get quote but I'd be a little concerned about having the material arrive on site not be perfect fit. You did send people out last week. To essentially make templates right correct so how did they make attempt. -- well. In this part of the country. They used plastic sheeting. When they do mistake laid down the plastic complete sheet of plastic to make sure that the cabinets and the walls are square. If they're not square they can always -- extra part of plastic. They glue it together so they can get the exact angle of the corner for example that is correct. That is correct and then they also need to make sure that the overhang is added to the -- so. The templating itself has to include -- terrific. OK so now we've got the either fabricated piece of south stone and we're ready to put it down. And I see that it comes with the sink hole already cut out. That is correct the end of this sink hole is cut out leather factory whenever we have an undermount sink. All right so this -- gets glued together -- and he's added pigment so that he has a perfect match. With the silestone. And and we have little hardener. Mix that in. And then you're just. Looking at how he's applying it -- putty knife. Kenneth sticks it into little cracked their. And runs and across."
