" OK now the existing partitions here in the kitchen and family room are being reconfigured a little bit and the architect's design is based on this. We've all seen banana but the banana plant as these enormous leaves on it and quite naturally breaks like this and creates kind of an effect of a jagged lines. And this is what learned the Spirit has used for the motif here is we're adding to the top of this wall we closed in the former opening. That went into the dining. And that we are now getting ready to put on top of this existing law kind of a crown the shape of that and Natalie. Which is really going to make it look very exotic right. There is you've got everything precut here so we can start putting it together we sure can't all right you've camera that not put it together on this side. And eastern. That's the Arab. -- The report."

" To a nails and each one -- and absolutely it certainly. Well. We put out there. Yep let's go now why did we leave that actually does that we left this Specter Bob so that we can. Overlap the -- second portion. Of the partition. Which is coming up. So it'll be nice and strong faith and a couple of -- and I don't hold it here want to come to believe about two inches there -- Back a little that's good that's good book but all right to a despite this one in place. Hand. We know gets started cutting these sections for the other that degrade."

" Okay this is a rough framing. But it's pretty tricky -- is I was a little blue arc involved in putting together oddball shapes like this getting them. Just where the architect wanted them -- and of course this is as I say rock. But you can start to see the shape of the first notch of the banana. All right so we bring in the other section at here is -- uplift. -- bring it into it to the inside area. Well doesn't look right. Looks pretty good -- that second not -- right place over there just like in the architect's strong sure what once more in his. And of course. This has to be nailed up every sixteen inches or so -- think. We're not done yet right had. We're going to do exactly the same thing Bob right here all going to bring this whole thing out right even with this to create some depth we duplicate the shape resolutely."

" All right we've taken a fair amount of real time to get the rest of this spring put together you ready guys to let them up there aren't 23. That's ahead of its awkward."

" Starting look a little like a dinosaur actually. Not fit -- thing and it's going to be much more. Evident what the design is once it's -- all of this will be clad in a new product from Formica which is called lenient. And it's a it's it's a laminate but it's a beautiful wood finish what we've created now here. Is -- framed area for a home entertainment. Our system which will of course be. Set into the -- here cabinets and another area in here which will be the kitchen desk surface as some shelves."
