" When Steve Thompson isn't traveling around the country assembling houses he is the general manager here at the premier building systems plants. He's going to show us what's involved in manufacturing the sips panels that we're using back in Yonkers."

" So Steve basically there are three ingredients that go into the sips panels right the -- oriented strand board that -- people. And then the expanded polystyrene. And -- NB PS and -- and glue. Right OK so what's happening here at this day. What we're doing is taken a process and heading wiring chases them. In an opening panels just randomly immune how they know what they're going to do well they have a plan they follow tragedies ever effects. For resiliency here where we're -- faith and -- taken and actually deciding where wiring chases are going to go okay. And look at what he's doing here that he's got a heated up wire. That. Runs through the whole length of this big piece of of polystyrene. How what kind of a tool is that that's the kind of high -- I -- flyers -- things less. -- It's actually cutting the phone have to be really precise and do this together to get them round hole and it ran -- eventually will allow you to put electrical wires through the home. Section of the room. So be every four foot in this for assistance it virtually word anywhere you want to go and mattresses -- wise to make the cut on the end like and that's the length of the panel. With the panel. It's -- little Vila that tape now and we'll see later on. So each one of these things weighs about maybe what. When he found. For around thirty to forty pounds what's the this industry a system's going to be an 45 and Yonkers project 337. And a quarter inches this is -- eleventh. It's it's for Alaska -- so. Colder climate so that's why the increased thickness and you said these are all going to be roof panels -- OK so once you've got them cut and each piece is ready to go what's the next step. We're gonna -- laminate -- okay."

" All right if so what we have here is basically going up some big stuff we're said any PS -- targeted because. The golf courses and world. Actually -- system -- now. Into the fall that was so quick it's unbelievable so this machine essentially ruled the glue on that flows designs. The polystyrene right sepia and you already have laid down one sheet of the oriented strand board -- it's being. We have Paul Morse did you go on -- metal finish up our panel right so he's what is the adding more with a roller for some areas -- Sometimes there may be submitted to the bomb death and -- things that just make sure we have a quality product going. All right. Now what kind of glue is it that two part water business. Latex adhesive. And it's a long term adhesive it's been tested for accelerated aging. And it's something that's backed by a major companies all right so now you have basically three. Together -- the next. We're gonna lay in those cases though -- bolted down here on the bed. Then we'll run another piece of UPS and has continued the sandwich is going all the way up were ready to push it through the ground. All right so now you've got. A half a dozen of these. Big guys all of them of their what's the next step here well this is going to roll into the press accidents in the press for about an hour right around thousand pounds per square foot pushing down on -- and it is in the an exterior with a bit of fabricated so there's no heat involved in America no to record them."

" now what would you call that machine. That's a -- a political longer. It basically is kind of routing out almost about what an inch and a half of this base here where it's an inch and a half recess for dimensional lumber. And that's what they're doing in here to witness this piece would be almost a gable end with a -- running through it and so you have to add the dimensional lumber in there. In order to have the neon -- or finishes up our system right. Now do you have to also put the bottom plate here at top plate Spirit into the -- at the bottom clearly put on and duct tightness and sit right down on top of it. OK and we saw that in Yonkers were -- right but you're not using pressure treated lumber. And then part of the -- this -- visit business how does that work well we have a sample set up over here Korea. All right here's a little mock up -- publicity just give me an idea how they go together. Cynicism recesses. We did in the foam room soft. This is the -- in case right. And so this is going to sit together like that I'm. But it through. As you can see have a some foam sealant you've been here before you put it together so how do you test the sips panel for strength and tensile tester that hydraulic that'll hold the panel or. -- make sure that glue bond here -- solid. -- But here's another more dramatic test -- we have a great thing chilly outside. Bob what we have here is 5700. Pounds of red home bricks don't put it on top of ivory handled. Has almost three tonnes of bricks -- putting. And I didn't they just -- little bit of deflection right and that's up pretty dramatic way of demonstrating the strength of these now. Shows a strength that they are viable career home again well thanks for the -- you think you month."
