You think you we need to get the speech from you know, I'm exhausted because I just had to go work out Well, I thought you're doing your Exhausted you're like I'm a barf All right, so you got a product here, so In the reason why I stopped by because we installed trimming stuff around bathrooms I just did a bathroom remodel the trim was all swollen around the bathroom because of water And so you guys got a product that might resolve that what what do we got going on here exactly? So what we did is obviously we always had what you know everybody wants to reduce what we're cutting down out of the forest And everybody thought oh well MDF solves it But salt it does sell the problem of cutting trees down, but it doesn't solve the problem of The swelling the water resistance the most resistance to what we did is and this is our our chairman Richard master How you doing? So what he said was hey, we need to do something that's good for not only building but good for the planet So what we did is we found a way to take recycled Styrofo, right, and we collect it from all over we bring it in we've reduced the time we've been working with this product Over 650 million pounds from the the landyard. That's pretty cool So not only are we giving you a building solution? We're trying to be good for the planet. So what we do is we take that Styrofoam and we bring that down and we take it back to its natural powder form We put it into a pellet form and then we're able to extrude that back into the profile of the molding Well, you know, we've all seen Styrofoam you can stick your finger through it all that But this product is actually harder more durable than either pine or MDF Right, and how we achieve that is by using a virgin Styrofoam or polystyrene and put that hard top coat on there So you know even on MDF you can take your nail and make little marks and if someone's back You mean they're going to bang up the base more with this product. It's going to stand up to all that right Does this actually lift out of here or is that set in there? No, we can see As we can see this right here. It's like soaking it up all swollen Yes, this is typically what we would see right here And then is it you can see on our product. It's just repelling the water. So I'm familiar with PVC, you know, trim. Is this any different than PVC trims? Okay Cool cool product man. I like it. I like that you guys are you know Reusing stuff people are tired of MDF right and I honestly I told Richard I didn't realize how anti-MDF people are They're looking for something different stuff is garbage right gotta say man And this is an answer all that and the best part about it We give you a better product and we're priced the same as MDF right. Well, that's pretty cool. Right awesome good to know Well, cool. Thanks for sharing that really appreciate it
