| 0:00.0 | I would probably start out in a more mid-level renovation market where it's the stakes are more |
| 0:07.2 | manageable. The mistakes are less costly and you can still learn. I don't know if I would want |
| 0:12.5 | to start at the bottom and I certainly wouldn't want to start at the top. |
| 0:21.0 | What's up everyone? How's your week going? Fine? Not bad. We finally got that job closed |
| 0:30.7 | through inspections. The drywallers wrapped up drywall on Saturday. The finisher started on |
| 0:37.2 | Sunday. Was there yesterday checking on things? We are spackling. I have roof starting this week. |

| 2:01.7 | I was back yesterday. I have to head back one more time. A good friend of mine. I was actually |
| 2:08.8 | friends with his younger brother. I had built a port for a few years ago when I'm sure some of |
| 2:16.5 | you guys were around at this point. But this kid Tom worked for me. We used to call him Yotam. Yotam. |
| 2:22.8 | But he was on that job and helped me build this porch. I was there yesterday. It's a low enough |
