So the

first thing, we're working through engineering and permitting process right now.

So we've had to Pull up deck boards to make sure it had the proper waterproofing underneath the deck boards.

Because right now it's just a slab underneath the deck, which is a dry area.

It's got tongue and groove underneath the deck, Joyce.

And we need to make sure we have adequate footing size.

So first things first, once we can actually put an excavator into the ground, we need to expose...

And when you start disturbing soils around some of these existing foundations and footings and things, now that's when the engineer is really important to make sure that you're not going to cause a problem for the existing structure.

Tell, talk about that process that you thought, hey, maybe there's something different, and then actually doing it.

Sure.

So for a long time I originally thought w- I was gonna end up potentially purchasing the company that I work for.

My previous boss is late 50s I'll say.

So I just didn't quite get some of the long-term answers that I was looking for commitment-wise, and I just didn't wanna be hung out to dry at some point all of a sudden, the doors close and- I attempted to make some, you know, financial commitment or something moving forward to potentially purchase the company, and I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere with that.

So we go back to approximately August of last year, Eric and I had a meeting, and he threw the feeler out there to see if I was interested, and I said, "Yeah, potentially." And then he sa- I said, the last part of the discussion that, "Don't fill the position without having another discussion with me."

Yeah

... for several months.
