" You've got most of the glass in place. And creating a sloped delays system like this is really challenging -- get a lot of ice build up spending get a lot of condensation inside. -- Now -- we're done is that put silicone caulking between that the basic frame in the glazing system itself -- then -- reattach it with these two inch stainless steel. Tech's gross it was what's -- yeah and they go about every sixteen inches. And from the marry you can see there's an awful lot going on in this in this channel why do you need all these grooves in here well the one thing is we've got this rubber gasket. And that cushions that lattice bars or glass the glass that's right on that right then we have a good little gutter system inside here. Which will collect any condensation built up inside the greenhouse and run right straight through. -- come out these weep holes on the bottom that's clever that'll make a big difference when you've got so you don't have. Water dripping off the glass inside -- good. What about the glass itself while -- glass itself and that would got Mike Hsu 'cause I got in about a wife and she got that yeah. Tell me about the glass that about almost the four by six foot. Piece of glass right incidents at some one inch insulating glass that's good tempered glass on the outside laminated glass on the inside this is similar to the windshield of your cut laminated glass laminated is too -- last with plastic in between residents -- let windshield. What's he doing over here. Who's putting on the glass cops. Which cost suckers off so yes sucker cups. And once they handle it creates a vacuum and holds that fasten the glass exactly and the glass is probably pretty heavy so do you need another helper and -- we've got mark over here these are getting hands. There you go. Let's get it in place figures when we stand it up first. They left. It's a 100 pounds made. It's about a 175. And that is both -- right on the neoprene rubber gasket in which cushions that of course it helps to -- Throughout the weather out Ryley Hollywood batten it down. Wolf that we have another detail of this excursion here another aluminum piece right this is that the cap. Yeah and it has that goes right over there sure guys we drill holes every twelve inches and receives. -- or hex head screw that screw it down and in this cap that when the whole thing is complete we deceive beautiful dark green. Are lying in between all the panes of glass and across the bottom right right then that's going to take a day. Right now and -- but the butt glazing at the entrance."
" This new vestibule that we're building is very simple and yet very complicated in terms of how it's been designed. That door will be a flush solid door you can't see through it and of course the jamb is. Galvanized. Tubular steel that's gone down a couple of feet in between the jamb. And the stone column we're gonna have what's known as tempered glass in a -- blades application you can see the corner right here has already been completed he simply have a happens glass. Butted up against another piece of glass and sealed -- with silicon it doesn't carry any structure but it doesn't really need any structure to to hold it."
" I tempered. This class goes through a glass stubborn it's tempered repeat. You know when it comes out the other side instrument and to the point where it it's almost shatter proof is -- shattered moral set up. Not have heard that -- can warp or bend a little bit loaded it tends to grow in size or shrink in size and plus it also tends to warp well. It goes with the efforts so will the silicon. Keep it straight through the so called Cuba's rigid him in silicon does not just a cock it's also an adhesive yes that is."
" And then on the other side of the door the exact same mirror image is done and it's complicated because you have to have on architectural plan that calls for the you know the grew in the masonry where the glass is going and there's enough space -- it. We can build up -- these neoprene. Patents and the weight of the glass will be on the pads and in between you can build it -- this backer rod which is. Kind of a styrofoam product and that'll keep the weather from going in there incidents and then of course more silicon is this he's ready to go. This -- already got this punitive and of course they're having people."
" It's good to talk interest we want them. Okay. Tonight. Can we don't. And that's all you need is those two pieces of that goes to -- down there. Yes -- you have to reform -- just kind of welfare if you put more than one on either -- rock of the via the video openings -- a lot of out of level so that's why you want this to peace is moving into place. Okay and now all you do is come in with a silicon. And all basically in there over an hour operation itself with some smaller those blocks to keep the -- word here."
