It'll definitely make life easier to fund these projects a little bit more graciously, but I'm just not interested in the shortcut. And that's come with the accomplishment of, just like you say, pieces beginning to fall into place, like, oh, I can do that.

I'll probably break some stuff if I have to do this again later down the road. You know, just the thought process that goes into what's going to be here, where's it going to sit.
