Good morning, Kevin. Yeah, I remember early 80s, my dad set up a little factory and they built walls in there. But these were for commercial buildings, five-story buildings. So they built the foundation, and then it was all steel framing. And then they built these walls, and the walls were 16 by 10. And they were manufactured out of steel. And they would weld them all together, and they'd put a type of foam as the first layer, and chicken mash. And then they would pour concrete and do a certain texture on it on top of the wall. And then they would spray paint them the color that the customer wanted. And then they would load them up and take them through the building and frames and set them in place. And people would weld the walls to the frame of the building. Several buildings in the St. Louis area were done that way back then. That went on for a while, but of course, it came up with better methods than that. This is my station, Kilo Kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. All-star, node 6222. Located in Stilton, Washington. That's one way of doing it. There's money in it. My father's friend, Joseph Carabetta, he owned Carabetta Enterprises. He lived right down the road in Meriden, on Chamberlain Highway in Meriden. We used to hang out at Christmas. And I mean, the family's not being a, I didn't know him because I was a kid at the time. My parents knew the family. They made a lot of money. They make condos, no apartments, excuse me, apartments out of concrete. And they lifted them up with a crane into the building. And that's how they made their money. And I think they finally went bankrupt. He was making millions and millions. And all of a sudden, boom. He didn't have any money. Easy come, easy go. But you don't want to know it. They should make these walls with robots. Now, imagine if you loaded up a machine full of two by sixes. A robot came in with pneumatic nailing guns and nailed it all together and put everything in. The wall would take probably less than two or three minutes. Imagine how many houses you could make it be that this would grow robotics. Just like they do with the cars, we're going to go house factory.
