0:00.0	Even more remarkable than the cart is Nolan being the business owner and the one who's in the hole.
0:11.3	God bless him for that, right? That is a class act.
0:14.9	I would imagine a lot of people would look at that job and be like, uh, no, thanks.
0:19.9	Because it can't be done.
0:25.5	Welcome to the Fine Home Building podcast. Our weekly discussion of building, remodeling,
0:31.8	topics aimed at anybody who cares deeply about the craft and science of working on houses.
