Yeah, I know we've seen that product here before, but not very often and I don't know why that is. Merkrete usta have a black liquid-applied membrane, too, but I don't know if this Hydro Gard...

Well, the requirement certainly should be that the waterproofing layer of the top of the curb must be two inches above the drain and I'll never understand why it's not written that way.

But, as...
