This was multiple locations that you guys were running, uh, service territories, I guess.

So you just sold the account.

What year was it that you sold that one?

In fact- You sold the second one you sold in 2008.

Okay, so the first one that you get 13 million is 2008.

You take it, you go and reinvest.

If I remember right-

Pest control companies struggled during this great recession time.

A little bit.

A little bit.

Basically, from my college standpoint, like I was in the recruiting game during this time, right?

Home security and those type of things.

And it seemed like most pest control companies went off the map, right?

Like shut their doors, weren't able to flex into it very well.

while home security and whatnot kind of pushed through and made it through.

And then we saw another rise of pest control kind of come out through that.

That was my first experience.

Was this always self-funded or did you ever go and raise a fund or anything?

This was the start of Altera.

So basically, I mean, what I'm hearing is over all those years, you kept building upon the same exact foundation, right?
