Today we're at the Indoor Sports Plex for the City of Kearney and Kearney, NE. It's a indoor sports facility with eight basketball courts, 12 volleyball courts, soccer field, batting cages, 4 pickleball courts. You know, youth sports are are pretty large, pretty huge overall and having a facility like this will draw crowds in. It'll allow people from Kearney to work locally in an indoor facility and not have to try to struggle to find places in the middle of winter. This will expand that quite a bit and it will also bring a lot of visitors to town where deep into the rough end phase right now. And as you can hear in the background, we've got drywall getting hung and we even have some people taping and. Fishing in some of the staircases. So there's a lot of a lot of activity going on and a lot of different phases. We have fought the weather since we started erecting the building. The rafter sections that we that we installed were all 15,000 lbs apiece and we would put five of them up at a time. There was a lot of days we had to shut down. It was just too dangerous for the guys to be up there trying to erect that. So when the wind stopped blowing, it started raining. And we've been pumping a lot, you know, for a long time. It was just nonstop. You know, we'd show up in the morning and we pump water and as soon as it would get dry enough to work again, it would rain. Just happy to with our relationship with the city of Kearney, they've been great to work with. And our subcontractors and trade partners, I've done a fantastic job. Everybody sees the big picture here and everybody's working hard and we're seeing some good results.
