Yeah, he's raised 4,000 several different

we need 69. My question is, do we want to go ahead and get those $900? I have no problem with it. I just can't if we gave grant money for we put that back in our account. That's what I'm saying. If we've already grant that that's my only stipulation. I got no problem doing it, but if we do, I don't think so. It's very important.

Oh, absolutely. I have no problem saying that we go and spend $2,900 off. This has been going on for like

Well, let's What do you think about him? Did you say Duke? Try Duke Energy. Yeah. Get with Dagy and see

We've been talking about it, but I've talked to it's called Summer's Edge, which is Dick Rainy that lives east of Florida and if you notice their signs for their business, it's out on the highway right there. Pretty cool looking. This is for a 4x4 substrate and installed with a 4x4 post and caps. They're really nice. And they'll be doublesided. He has a blackmith make the hinges and brackets to hang them. It comes out to about $1,000 per signage for a while. We had a little discussion before we got on today. You know, the location of the signs need to be kind of updated to what is current. So, what do you guys think of that?

I like the price. I don't have a problem. These are not just metal signs like we have currently. These are look a lot nicer. They look like a sanded sign. Kind of a lot. They're similar to that. I don't think you're plaster. That's what they kind of look like. What do you think, Andy? I think it sounds good. Yeah. Four of them.
