We've got a lot of volunteers for this habitat project which is really wonderful. There's a lot of thought that's gone into this system. Tells a little bit about the -- correct I joists are a floor joists that are pre engineered so when you say pre engineered wood is that virgin."
" Because it I -- was designed. By an engineer in manufactured with those aspects that. To perform at a certain level -- that type guys were capable of scanning the entire with this building which is twenty feet with one framing member."
" Exactly so that you can have. Open plan down below you don't have any walls in between bury them. -- a lot of design flexibility -- really does indeed it when you're building a house that has a footprint is just twenty by forty it's not too big a space to you want to be able it. He visits as open a plant as possible right. Right they're dealing with a much larger building you have the capability can span much greater distances exactly an engineered nice and without having you at a steel alert without having go to really large.
