I hope so. I mean, I'm dealing with the department of transportation right now, just trying to get a right away permit right where we're building our building to remove a little bit of dirt in a, I mean, I grew up in excavation. This is a small, like one day project. Have you considered just doing it? Oh, yeah. I got, I got shut down. Have you considered doing it at night?
That would be the next move. I actually, I did get in a little bit of trouble because I started last March trying to get them to accept a meeting to come out and talk to them about what I wanted to do. We communicated and I provided all this communication. I'm actually filing a complaint in DC on this because...

We tried all summer to get them to come out and meet us on site and talk about this project. We couldn't get that. So I told the excavation guy, like, fuck it, start digging. He started digging. Two hours later, they showed up on site and shut us down. And I'm like, well, at least I got a meeting. How'd they know you were digging? It's right by the interstate, you can see.

Yeah, but who drove by and who tattled on you? Good question. Snitches get stitches, bitches. Exactly. So we then went through the process of permit and whatnot, and I hired an engineer firm. They came back with a bunch of questions. We got all the engineering, hydrology, geotech reports, all the shit, grading, site drainage, all that. Got all the way to the end, and they denied it.

And literally, we've gone through this three times now in a row, the only real reason that they can come up with is they're busy. They just don't have time. And honestly, they don't have to do anything other than stamp a permit, literally. And again, it's that case. When I had my first meeting with those guys, I have a photo of it from November, 15 of their officials on a meeting with me,

talking about a right away permit. And I'm like, this is like me and you could solve this in a half hour. Yeah. It's like provide, make sure it's all engineered, make sure the drainage is right. Tell me what kind of grass seed you want back down on it. I'll spray the weeds on it for the next 18 months to make sure it's back to how it should be fixed the fence, which was already rotten.
