And I mean, I, one of the things that made me feel really good was when P&D looked at what I specced out in the contract, they were like, that's exactly what you should have specced out. So that made me feel good, um, and I'm not certain that that concrete necessarily met that spec, so that's why I think we're having the issues. So not the best, you know, it's like buying a brand new car and having a big scratch across the hood, you know. The only difference is, is the dealership's willing to work with us. So, you know, I will— I rest assured, and I've told the council this, I will not accept floats that are subpar.
