But it's a really good product. I do get questions from uh customers occasionally or from some of my subscribers out there. What about kitchens and bathrooms? And bathrooms, if nowadays all the homes we're dealing with typically have, they're very well ventilated. And there's not a lot of moisture in the bathrooms. But if you do have customers that take long long showers, then there's going to be a lot of humidity in the bathroom. And the higher the sheen, the more likely it's going to repel water and it's going to last a lot longer and it's not going to get milky. Where if on the walls you get a lot of water on the walls, it starts to run. Lower sheen paints will what we call milk and you'll see those runs and it starts to look pretty unsightly or like water spots. And so you could jump up into a semi- gloss. It's very very rare because the paints and then technology in latex paints nowadays, even in your satin paints, they're very resistant to water and they're very durable. So all the bathrooms I paint, even my bathroom itself, they're painted with satin paints. But occasionally we'll run into a very old home that has no ventilation, had a mildew problem, and then we'll just bump that up into a semi- gloss paint and we'll add some milicide additive to it if there was any type of mildew problem. So that's for uh bathrooms, kitchens, kitchens are always typically well ventilated and don't need to be uh don't need to be painted with a semi- gloss paint. I just the colors people are choosing these days, the the colors just being extremely shiny. I just I I just personally don't like the look of a semi- gloss paint really anywhere. So, I steer away from it. So,
