Um, we have several bids. Um, we've been working with uh Nathan and Lola at home. We initially wanted one bedroom, one bath with the porch just so that it would be a little bit, you know, more compact. And that home is probably about $40,000 over a two-bedroom, two bath. So, it's because it's constructed uh in a different location and so that was just a waste of work. So, our plan is to get a a two-bedroom, two bath. So yes, we are we haven't purchased anything um because this is you know our first step is is to follow planning and zoning and to make sure that that that's approved.
