I wish it were removable but it is not,
It feels great to be home -- do you guys want any coffee or donuts -- I haven't had breakfast yet,
I think people will go into each of these models and realize that these are finished houses. These are houses you could move into today. And we hope they are inspirational and we hope that people take away ideas not only about the houses themselves but also about the finishing of the houses. They are comfortable and functional and useful.
Without a sense of teamwork I think it's really hard to build a great business.

He's a great guy. He's very interesting, incredibly entertaining,
