stucco is taking care of the waterproofing. stucco is not a waterproof material. stucco always cracks. stucco combracks and in fact -- cracks and in fact unless you put a waterproofing membrane on top of it which is paint or something, when it gets wet, water's going to pass right through the stucco and what happens when it passes through or gets behind your wood siding? what happens then? a few things happen. first you get wood rot from the sheathing underneath. but secondly something really important in our earthquake-prone areas is that you can rust the fasteners, the nails, the nails that are holding the sheathing and other types of metal as if ners which are always underneath -- fasteners which are always underneath the siding, you lose the sheer connections between the sheathing and the framing of the building. and we saw that in earthquakes. especially in that lower few feet close to the sidewalk where you have a lot of water splash. we see rusting of connecters, a serious problem and a reason for to you make sure you're keeping that stucco painted and coat

earlier this morning, you did need the plastic eggs because if they weren't waterproofed, you had some rain come down. this is oakland. as the wind started to take hold, well, we've got the clouds to start to break. the sun to come out. quite a change from the morning where we did see scattered showers around the east bayhill tops, around san francisco and the coastal hills. now you can see most of the moisture heading off to the east, where at this hour it is still coming down in the form of snow. for elevations above 7,000 feet just to the east of blue canyon and around the higher hilltops of lake tahoe. but the system that will bring us our next and perhaps last chance for rain for quite some time lurking right here in our doorstep. we'll let you know how it will impact your monday forecast coming up. >> thank you, rob. >>> coming up next at 5:00, what senator john mccain has to say about the fighting in libya after a surprise visit to that

and this is waterproof, so if you ever need contemporary waterproofing, this is great stuff. taken off, put this on the floor, and set the toilet on top. by the way, i don't believe it takes a plumbing permit to replace the toilet fixtures. as long as you are not making a change in the plumbing. and of course, every time you do it, you should replace the blacks. terrific. all right. let's sit this guy back up. the stock closed seat. >> will await the seepage of the sleeping people in the night. -- will not wake the sleeping people in the night. this one has a toilet seat mounted on it that has the washer with feature >> this is just a seat that is mounted on a toilet. >> you could retrofit an existing toilet with all of these features if you want. you just need to have an outlet in the room. you can see on this one that we cannot see the drop passageway. it has a skirted side to it, which is very popular with the consumer because it is easier to clean. it is an area that is not prone to picking up all that dust and things like that, a little cover for where the bull is going.

i would ask that either the existing waterproof cover i just pointed out be retained and maintained with durable materials or reconstruct and weather proof the basement wall. i hope to see this project go through. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners, tom radulovic, executive director of livable city. i'm here to speak in support of the project. i live in the mission district and you often see changes in scale in residential neighborhoods. we live in a victorian neighborhood but there are large apartment buildings and they're all over and from the 1920's and everyone loves them and if you tried to tear them down everyone would scream but you put something similar up and of course people scream. there have been points raised, and i think they're valid about the gym. and i think looking at sort of the color of that, looking at the scale of it, it is a big box so i think in a residential neighborhood you need some articulation. you need to break down the scale of that thing visually so it looks like it belongs in the neighborhood. but otherwise i think it soun

did it successfully without damage and allow the property owner to get in and do some temporary waterproofingil the entire structure is down later, and they can come in and catch their own wall. we were worried about that. it was touchy work, but the guys did a great job and got it down successfully. again, the 4.5.1 was the first package of bonn ministry. the latest package is the beale street package that routes utilities around on main. here is some of the work that has been completed last month. the work behind howard is almost complete, all the way out to second street. the upper left photograph is at the corner of second and natoma. that is the joint french -- joint trench, and that continues well. continued progress on that work. pg&e is getting their work done as well. they had to install a large bowl on fremont street that had to be custom-made. that was installed this last month. the wall on mission, they've gotten that out and reported it, so they are ready to start working on the framing of the wall.

a reglet is an l-shaped piece of metal that you're waterproofing for the stucco that goes behind distribute stucco goes on top of. it's a piece of flashing and that follows -- they'll make it -- it follows the curves and the whole edge of the stairs. and so you can put that on there, the stucco paper comes down there and you would stucco on top that have after and then you have a little caulk joint that is just something you have to maintain. it's not critical, that goes between the reglet and president stair. that will keep the stucco from cracking. >> here's an example of why we need to maintain a distance clearance between the dwround and the siding. you see this wood siding goes right down to the concrete sidewalk and it's rotting at the bottom. that rot is just going to run up through the wood and into the framing behind and once again -- now this is interesting. those are wood stairs in a wood structure. much better solution. they're also protected because they're inside. so they're not going to have as much of a problem. they still have a joint there which is a leak problem that has

why do we have to have a waterproof vehicle inside of a building?. somehow, i think one of our committees needs to take a look at that. maybe eight years from now, when this happens, we will look back and say, "why didn't we think about moving these fire trucks?" leave it outside. please think about that. thank you. president chiu: are there any other members of the public who wish to speak? seeing none, general public comment is closed. >> items 19 through 23 are being considered for immediate and unanimous adoption without committee reference. these will be acted upon by a single roll call vote unless one is called separately. president chiu: would anyone like to sever an item? roll-call vote on all these items. supervisor cohen: aye. supervisor elsbernd: aye. supervisor farrell: aye. supervisor kim: aye. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor mirkarimi: aye. supervisor weiner: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. supervisor campos: aye. >> there are 11 ayes. president chiu: these resolutions are adopted. we have 2 below items left on the agenda. the first is a
