We do everything ourselves.
It's it's uh it's completely made in the USA in-house business and
of what we wanted to keep.
kind of what we want to be team.
realistic goals.
Yeah, realistic
Well,
little bit you gotta do.
You gotta lose some sleep before you get to that point.
Yeah, I love that.
Yeah, love that.
Sure, so obviously we started, like we said, with a different technology and I wouldn't say that it failed. A ton of hurdles to jump and everything works out for a reason, right? So we stumbled across a different type of coating and we eventually started putting it on shingles.
We kind of just bonded our experience, you know? I mean, not only being best friends, but then business partners. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We just kind of pivoted from our own company.
beautiful coating on our floor that would have come up it was it was it was the wildest thing you know the the solution that we put into our other product leaked on the floor okay and uh The car was pulled into the garage. The oil leaked on the concrete. The next day went and wiped the concrete clean. The oil did not even penetrate. So we were like, oh, well, we have a concrete sealer now.
There you go. That started from there.
Yeah, so he would call me and say, I have this wild idea, and I guess I'm kind of the loose wheel between the two of us, and I would just put it on anything and everything just to see if it would stick. Okay. So, you know, no chemistry background for me, but, you know, I was just kind of a trial and error guy. Yeah, yeah.
And I put it on a... I had an old 40-year-old shingle outside of my barn, and I coated half of it, and I just left it there for like two months, and I didn't even tell him. And I came back to it, and I just scratched on it with a knife. You know, you touch one side, the granules would come off. And when those come off, that's when your roof starts failing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The side that I sealed, I couldn't get the... that was ripping my fingernail off trying to get them off and this is on a 40 year old shingle wow so
Easy upsell. You can actually help people with this product. It saves people a lot of money. Well, roofs aren't cheap. Roofs are not cheap. Shingles are not cheap. But the crazy thing is, we probably didn't mention this, you can put this down get your five years, depending on what the shape of your roof is, and then you can do it again. So you just kind of keep going.
I think it happens every day. You know, you have to... If you're not getting it done, then you just have to work harder. So you have to be able to balance the highs and the lows. For me, that's kind of the way I see it. We scream at each other twice a week. But, you know, we always get it done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, it's been rough.
