And so there's some lawsuits in place.

So unfortunately, that's the driver.

But things are happening.

Because I mean, when you don't build with this in mind,

Especially in human environments, things are going to fail and fall apart in one way or another, whether it's something that you notice physically or something that you feel and are able to find that there's microbial growth, things like that.

So yeah, if you don't do it right, there's consequences to suffer.

It should.

One thing that surprised me with some of the houses that I've been into recently is just how fast some of these failures have occurred.

A lot of people, when they see a blower door test or air tightness, they just think energy.

That's the benefit.

But really, it's the

there's four things that we benefit from.

And I mean, I put energy at the end of it, but really the durability of the house, because a building's worst enemy is water in all of its forms.

And we build houses out of wood.

So water can get in a house any of four ways, like through the air, through bulk water, through capillary action, through materials, through diffusion, through materials.

And so we have to control for all of that.

And if we don't,

Bad things happen.

And so luckily, we're seeing some builders pay more attention to that.

But when they don't, you know, I've been into some of these production built homes recently.
