But anyways. Yeah, that's why I mean, I feel that that's something that I'm looking at right now. It's like, you know, stop looking at the short term, you know, duration.

Because it's like, hey, we need the money and the cash to build this and get the right training, get the right people, get the right things in place for this thing to run for forever.

Yeah, no worries. I appreciate that. So one thing I wanted to touch on. So you talked about, you know, having people that are educated and smart in plumbing and HVAC. So we've kind of figured out there's a huge gap in our industry with, you know, talent, right? They just don't. Nobody wanted to be a plumber or an HVAC guy for a lot of years, right? Everybody went to college.

Like- You know, so that's kind of our mission and our plan is to, you know, kind of teach and grow the community.

You know, even if they don't stay with us, you know, teach them how to, like, be better people. And some of this stuff, do it yourself. Like, some of this stuff is complicated. That's what we want to do, right? The other stuff, figure it out on your own, man. I don't know.
