Little little lesson for you here. We've got here a pressuret treated glue lamb. And what makes that different from other types of beams? Well, a lot of times we'll use an LVL, which is a laminated What's LVL stand for? Laminated veneer lumber, right? A lot of times we'll use an LVL, which is laminated veneer. So, it'll be very thin uh veneers that are all laminated together, cross- laminated, and all glued together vertically. Well, this is a glue lamb. And you can see it's essentially just a bunch of dimensional lumber stacked on top of each other, glued, compressed. I guess it makes it really strong. I don't know. I'm not an engineer. We just use the stuff.
