Yeah.

Yeah, so the part that the clients got one over on me was all the way through the project.

Like on day one, we figured out that the house was actually hollow brick instead of wood frame.

And we thought all along it was plaster walls with wood frame when we were doing all of our inspections.

And so like there was a change order.

And then it was kind of that way all the way through the project.

And so when we were almost done with the project, I...

gave them a bill and they were like, what is this?

And I was like, I'm not sure what you mean.

Like, this is just another progress payment.

And they're like, well, we're this bills for 300 and something thousand dollars.

And we only owe you another a hundred.

And I was like, no, we have all of the other stuff, like all the change orders all the way through the project, make the total almost this plus the other 45 that we still have coming.

And they were like, we, what are you talking about?

And I was like, all of the change orders add up to this.

And I like walked out to my truck and got my computer.

And I was like, all of these change orders.
