0:00.0	Good morning. Yeah, good morning. We're going to leave the rest of that conversation behind.
0:06.2	We're going to move on because nobody else heard it, hopefully. I made some serious progress on my pool house.
0:13.3	Oh, great. Yeah. Well, a couple of big things. One, yesterday, I just finished the soffet, and on one side I did soffit around it, and the other
0:24.2	side I did tongue and groove ceiling, like on the over the pool equipment.
0:28.7	And it looks so good.
0:30.2	It looks so good.
0:31.3	It's so nice when you get a construction project buttoned up or it gets buttoned up.

1:26.9	And it's crazy because I just, I did like a cost comparison trying to figure out what's the best,
1:33.4	you know, because you can buy like Hardy Panel, or not Hardy Panel, LP siding panel.
1:39.4	I guess you could buy Hardy.
1:41.3	And so I did a cost comparison of just the square footage using like
1:44.7	engineered wood that you have to paint and you have to seal and you have to do all the stuff
1:49.6	versus this composite stuff. And like the wood version was almost twice as expensive, which was
