Anyway. >> Thank you very much. >> Well, the traditional pull-down fold-out attic ladder they're dangerous. Especially as we get older, you're on your toes. You only have 3 in for your foot. You have 7 in with a standard model here. It makes it easy to open. A lot of people can't open the fold-out ladders. So, black iron handrails. This is all feels very sturdy. It's all made in the US. The stairs are actuated by gas shocks. There's no power. There's a 2-year warranty. They ship from Illinois. Our standard kit doesn't include any wood. It includes every nut, bolt, screw, everything that you need to build it. All the templates. There's 16 videos. 60 pages of instructions so that anyone can do it. That's really what we have.

So, this is our new ice breaker series. It is actually freeze proof. So, in a standard hydrant, what will happen if you keep the hose on, water will back up, water expands and will actually burst the pipe. What we've come up with through the vent cap, if you leave the hose on, inside here there's a freeze plug. So, as the water freezes through the hose, it will actually pop the plug keeping the barrel safe. And all you need to do in the spring once once the thaw comes, is just replace this cap and you are good to go. But, here is the actual replacement part kit if it would freeze, very simple. And if you have a standard 420 series, you can upgrade to the ice breaker series replacing the vent cap with the uh freeze plug. That is awesome, guys.

And if I have to install them, then I'm going to have to get my fingers pinched, and then I'm going to be bending over all day long, thus strain on my back. With my electric suction cup here, all I need to do is turn the vacuum on. And now I have a handle to lift this material. Now, it says 375 lb. If this stone weighed 375 lb, it'll hold it. If I could lift 375 lb, which I probably can't, but that's okay. So, this handle allows me to grip and move just about any surface I stick it to. Oh, that's awesome, dude. >> drywall, stone, plastic, metal, glass, whatever I stick it to, I'll be able to put a handle and transport that material. There are only a couple of limitations, though. This tool is not pulling enough air for something as porous as this cinder block here. >> Okay. This cinder block's got a lot of holes and voids, and it's made made to be that way. Water will drip through. It's just not powerful enough to pull that much air. >> Yep. We made a Grabo high-flow. The high-flow is pulling way more air than this cinder block CAN LEAK OUT. AGAIN, IF I GOT TO MOVE 100 OF THESE THINGS a day, it's going to pinch my fingers and cause strain my back. This is going to be able to allow me to easily move, install any material I want on the job site. I love it, dude. Where can we get your products at? Well, grabo.com has a dealer locator.

We started out in the commercial business and we moved into luxury residential and obviously you're building a luxury home. People always want something different. Right. This is very unique product. It's not something you're going to find in everybody's home. Someday we hope so, but right now, no. But uh you use a CO2 liquid CO2 to chill, sanitize, and deodorize the glass. This is our all-in-one unit which is This is our drop-in unit. This is what it looks like when you cut it into the counter. The tank goes underneath. Very nice. >> CO2 exits. You can see it's white. That's -100° Fahrenheit. So, in 3 seconds, it kills bacteria, sanitizes the glass as well as chilling it, but it also takes away odors that are caused from detergent or just sitting around. In restaurants, sometimes you get bar rags that get a little smelly. Takes away those odors. So, you're you're sure to get a clean, dry glass. The other feature is dilution. If you put this in a glass froster, when you pull it out of the freezer, it it has ice build-up, so you get that sweating on the outside of your glass, but you're also getting it inside on your beer. Here, when this dries, it dries perfectly clear because it's >> And you're not getting that. No, you're not getting the moisture. You're You're basically This is a 10-lb tank. This will hold a 20. 20 will do 400 glasses. In a residential application, a 20-lb tank will last you months. >> A long time. A long time. Yeah, I see. So, it's not like you're changing it out, you know, on a regular basis. And this is just a little countertop model, right? >> Yeah, and it comes in stainless, the black, and the and the white. These are powder-coated. If you go to our website, thrillinternational.com, and we stock the product here in the US. Cameron, tell me what we got going on here, dude. All right.

So, that's for your laptop charging. Very cool. So, this is a high-output charger, then. Absolutely. Awesome. And we're on a countertop, dude. So, tell me about water in this thing. If you spill a glass of water or any liquid, we've got weep holes around our mounting flange here. So, the water will drip down into the cabinet, It needs to be wiped out, but the unit is safe is got the IP rating of 44, so it's fully electrically safe. Very cool. And tell me, where can we find your product at? So, you can find it on our website. It's www.pointpod.com and then >> So, tell me, when what problem does this solve?

So, tell me, what's this product what what's this made out of? This is made of low density fiber cement board. They're non-combustible, termite resistant, mold resistant. Awesome. >> lifetime.

And look and the cover it like this. Very cool, dude. All right, Wayne, where can we find your product at? You can find our product from our webpage called Nvdi tool .com. All right, awesome. Thank you. You're very welcome. All right, now well, you're going to have to tell me how do you make real bark panels? >> All righty, so in the summertime when it's making that next layer on the tree, it's got enough sap and water in between this cambium layer and the actual hardwood that I can I can actually go in there and I can pry that bark right off. So from there, I flatten, dry it, and square it, and put it on a pallet and we sell it for siding. Guys, so crazy. No, look at that. The moss. And what makes it an exterior? I mean, is it thicker? Is it treated? >> So when it's lapped like this, it'll shed the water. Gotcha. >> also in the installation guide, you've got tar paper under that. So anything that any water that fall in the cracks just sheds right off. All right, and then you have one other thing. I mean, this is very cool. You're doing a tree house like this is Yes, that's the thing to do. That's for sure. That's for sure. And I also have my smart bark over here. And this basically what we've done is we molded a real piece of bark, and that's made out of closed-cell polyurethane foam. We got a 25-year limited warranty on it, and it fits together like a puzzle piece. The only fastener the face fastener there is is one in the corner over here, and that's it. And that's all you ever see. I mean, and hey, where can we get this at? Yeah, if you just want to go to barkclad.com, you family business, so you'll either be speaking to me or my sister. So yeah, we'll get you taken care of. Thank you very much. All right, Donna, why do I need one of these? Because you don't want to get sick. When you are pinching, poking, twisting, suffocating, burning, prodding a tick, you begin to traumatize the tick. And when the tick is traumatized, they're going to fight back. They're going to regurgitate their stomach contents back into the host. And if they have disease, they're going to transmit it with that regurgitation. I don't want none of that. I don't think you do. No, so show me how this works. So you're going to take this key, you're going to put it flush over the tick, give it a pull flush against the skin, you're going to remove it head and all. Clean it with a little bit of alcohol, it's ready for its next use, and remember to keep it on your key ring or your lanyard so you don't lose it. Wow, okay, and where can we get your product at? You could go to our website, tickkey.com, put your zip code in, and you should be able to find stores that retail them in your area. Guys, I mean, one of my friends just got alpha-gal from a tick this last year, and I'm going to tell you, maybe this could have helped him out. Have you ever seen water burn? We are at AquaFire. These units are running off of essentially tap water. Um, they're coming with their own water softener kits if you're hard plumbing them, and uh you are able to have what looks like fire with none of the uh risks of burn. You can put your hand right in that fire. That's so interesting. Yeah. >> I mean, really, it looks so cool. Uh it just feels like it. I mean, you can go all these different colors. You've got this crazy cool look. >> Talking about colors, we actually have uh more color variants than anybody even close to us as a com- as a competitor. So, we've got over 20 different colors that you can cycle through on these fireplaces. And it's just infinite options really for however you want this to look. Where these really uh stand out is this is the only line of water vapor fireplaces that actually have two strips of LEDs instead of one. And what it allows you to do is actually blend colors simultaneously. And when you're looking at a product like this, you can actually pick up on the orange and red that is evenly spread across that flame. Yeah. That's That's what's really going to give you that impression of a gas or wood burning fireplace. That is super cool, guys. Now, what's even better is with these units, if you're not hard plumbing them as as you don't have to, they have a built-in self-fill feature, and it's the only uh offering in the industry that offers this. How it works is instead of you having to take off any logs or stones you would have placed on top, removing a lid, unscrewing a cap, funneling water into the device, you're actually just coming over here, you're popping this little cap off, you're taking a little hose that comes with the unit, goes right there, the other end of your hose will go right to a water bottle, and you'll click this button, and the entire fireplace will suck all the water up in under a minute. And it won't overflow? >> won't overflow. What? Absolutely. What's also great is the amount of time you can burn on a fill. It's up to 20 hours of flame time. You know, this is with the lid off. Uh what you're going to notice is you know, every 20-in partition has its own water tank. It's a two-tier water system, so you can hold enough water to get up to 20 hours of flame time. Uh you got your little mist maker that's built into this little reservoir right here. You can see that the flames are ejecting out of the unit in a pattern that looks like fire. It is not strips like you see from any other competitor out there. It is truly a flame presentation. But where it also wins when you got this lid off is how this installs. So when you're installing these, anything else out there, you need to have some sort of base for this unit to be sitting on. You need to be encompassing room air intake into your structure for the unit to breathe. You don't need any either of those things here. We've got this strip all along the unit. These are strong enough to actually have the unit sit suspended in the structure that you have built. So no base required. When you do get your lid on top, these lids actually have built-in vents. And with these vents, you don't have to allow for room air intake. It makes installation twice as easy. We've got a brand new development that we've just launched, which is an actual box that you can just buy this box for ease of installation, wood stud right to the box, buy a unit, pop it inside, call the project finished. Wow. Very cool, dude. I love this. Where can we find your product at? So, you can find find us through a variety of dealers all over North America. We're both in USA and Canada. There's also our website aquafire.com where you can see all the three different tiers of product that we make and the three different sizes that we have for each one. Very cool. Thank you very much.
