I don't understand how to depreciate with the business safe harbor election for building material?

Hi, I read the URL below and it confuses me even more.  I don't know how to get to these screens while "add asset" for improvements.  I have 11k of building materials I need to claim and I hope to find another way to depreciate rather than the 27.5 years. 

 

Can someone please provide TT step instructions to get to the right spot?  I appreciate any help.  Note:  I don't have much rental income for  2019 because i left vacant for a few months to renovate.  So expense isn't my focal point although carry-forward is great.. but I guess adding to capital improvement is the proper way.    I don't understand how to get to safe harbor for  building improvements following the 27.5 SL method.. or if I qualify.  (I don't understand how to use safe harbor for building improvements .)   Please help if you can.  Thank you!
