[8:43] Okay. The other issue is our signs to the entrance of town
[8:49] are kind of outdated.
[8:54] We've been talking about it, but I've talked to it's called Summer's Edge,
[8:59] which is Dick Rainy that lives east of Florida and if you notice their signs
[9:05] for their business, it's out on the highway right there.
[9:09] Pretty cool looking. This is for a 4x4 substrate
[9:15] and installed with a 4x4 post and caps. They're really nice.
[9:23] And they'll be doublesided. He has a blackmith make the hinges and
[9:27] brackets to hang them. It comes out to about $1,000 per
[9:40] signage for a while. We had a little discussion before we got
[9:45] on today. You know, the location of the signs need to be kind of updated to what
[9:51] is current. So,
[9:55] what do you guys think of that? >> I like the price.
[10:00] I don't have a problem. >> These are not just metal signs
[10:05] like we have currently. These are look a lot nicer. They look like a sanded sign.
[10:11] Kind of a lot.

[10:19] look like.
[10:22] » What do you think, Andy? >> I think it sounds good.
[10:29] » Yeah. Four of them.

[10:40] know if he has software. If nothing else, I take a picture of
[10:44] what they have. What we wanted to say is the next thing
[10:54] of the otter.
[11:00] Now it says great or good place to call home.
[11:04] » Yeah, I think it's just welcome to camp.
[11:10] » Oh, like I said, I don't know what it looks like on there. If it looks good
[11:14] sizewise, I'll see if I can
[11:20] » I'll see if I get a rendition and send it out to you electronically.
[11:25] » Okay, sounds good. >> All right.
[11:27] » Are you making a second on that?
[11:40] » Oh, that's one
