Each unit is built and designed according to what materials we have. We have to go out and scout windows, and of course we want to try to keep them consistent in height, shapes, somewhat, but each one is unique. So, they have, you have more creative flexibility if you're willing to accept the -- I, we call it history character. You know, somebody else that wants something new with sheet rock and tile in it, we can't touch that, you know. We don't even use drywall. We can't use it, because when you chip it, it'll break and you'll have repairs. Well, we want this thing to go drop-ready. When you get it, you plug it into a generator, you hook up your water, you catch your water, you can put your solar panels on. The sheet rock and all of that, you have to put paints on, you have to put the plaster on. It's energy, it's materials, it's volatile organic compounds being emitted. The materials, you know, all of the stuff that we use doesn't off-gas. It's a hundred years old. It's already off-gassed. It's not gonna go anywhere. And then, the new materials we paint or use are all latex, no-block emitters. We build, like, a traditional stick home, so you have all of your framing members, your floorage waste, all of the plywood, the felt paper. Now, you'll have to use your imagination a little bit, but this will be our kitchen area. Over here is going to be a little breakfast nook. And as you step through here, there will be a large sliding door into your bedroom; and another sliding door into the bathroom. So, we're starting to put the exterior on. As you can see, this is a galvanized metal that probably came off of an old roof. Up at the top, we're going to have all of the wood accents, so that'll be a vertical, eight-inch barnwood that's going to go all along the top of the building, as well as all of the windows will be trimmed, and all of the corners. So, once you add in the wood, it becomes a much warmer look than just the metal. So, these are old, reclaimed Pella windows; they're crank, very great windows, and they almost wound up in the trash. This is gonna have a six-foot overhang. And so, it'll be kind of like a deck area, where you can put a chair and tables, and still have a covered area to enjoy. This is a piece that came from out of an old commercial warehouse in Galveston. As you can tell, it's really heavy. It's not anything that we've used before, but we really like the piece, and it's a lot of embodied energy, as they say. Embodied energy is the amount of energy that it takes to cut a piece of wood. It's not only the energy that it took to grow that wood, but it's also the manpower that it took, the transportation to get the wood to the job site. And then, once it's built and put into a structure, well it's all one piece. Well, when you disassemble it, and you can reuse it, repurpose it, well that's saving an embodied energy. We're not disposing of that embodied energy. We're actually incorporating it into our structure and saving that energy. The insulation that we've been provided is shredded denim, by Levi's, and it comes in the batt form. So, we'll stick it into the wall, it'll stay, and then we'll put our wall covering or our ceiling covering over it. When we ship, we have to know where we're shipping. We're trying to keep our cost down on this, and as well as we're going to a convention, so we need to be able to fit within their confines, and even getting through their door is pretty difficult. It's the Staples Center, and it's 16 1/2-foot wide. We put a 16-foot wide building through their last time and just scraped the edges. This one's going to fit perfectly down the road. We're not going to require a lot of escorts, which are people that front and back you when your wide load is going down the highway. So, we're gonna ship it all the way to L.A., take it to the show, and then there will be a live auction at the show, as well as on eBay, and then we'll sell it, and some lucky person will get to own this. I'm ready to roll. I'm heading down to L.A., hopefully in time to meet the Reclaimed Space people. I know they've been working really, really hard on the house, so hopefully it'll come together beautifully. There will definitely be some drama. There always is. But, hopefully we'll get this put together and make it something that everybody's really excited to see, and that we're really proud to show.
