But then you've got the initiatives that we all have here that we have every year on managing our costs all the way from T&E and everything else that we put into place.

But I'd say also on our side, and we've talked about it, we've got a lot of productivity initiatives that are in flight, right? Our Office of Excellence initiatives a lot of those are still early innings and we got to invest in tooling and molds and so forth to get that those assets where they need to be to be more efficient as we move product around the network or to start reducing the amount of moving around the network that our product does before it gets to the customer so you've got that and then automation we've talked about it but that downstream automation uh if you will is key within our businesses and again you know our network you have 48 plants in the u.s a lot of opportunity to get more efficient uh make it a safer place for our employees um so a lot of things that we're doing there and again we spent close to 80 million dollars this past year a big increase year of the year so we're getting in front of it and then the 150 is not insignificant but it is the best use and top priority of our capital deployment options and we know that uh so a big effort there and we're also investing in internal resources to make sure that we can deploy and accelerate that capex organically great now that that's really helpful color there um second one i wanted to ask on non-reds um because obviously for the past two quarters here I think your own non-res performance has been relatively decoupled from, I think, what a lot of us see as kind of the underlying non-res market.
