[2:24] It is the order from the
[2:24] previous hearing that was
[2:28] requested by the board to give
[2:32] some clear detail on what the
[2:33] property owner needed to do.
[2:36] So I just want to submit this
[2:37] copy to each of you so you can
[2:43] review it.
[2:43] Thank you.
[2:49] How is it looking?
[2:50] The building.
[2:53] Oh, okay.
[2:59] Thank you
[3:00] .
[3:01] Oh okay.
[3:07] Good
[3:11] .
[3:14] >> okay, so this case was
[3:17] presented on JULY 23rd, 2026
[3:18] and at that hearing the
[3:21] building trade board continued
[3:24] the case to the AUGUST 27th,
[3:24] 2026 hearing.
[3:27] Based on the testimony and
[3:28] evidence presented to the board
[3:31] on JULY 24, 2026, the board
[3:32] ordered to continue the hearing
[3:35] outlining actions needed to be
[3:36] completed by the property owner
[3:39] teresa and gascon and or entity
[3:40] was mailed certified mail to
[3:43] the property owner and was
[3:44] signed for and accepted on JULY
[3:44] 30th 2026.
[3:47] The property was also posted on
[3:50] JULY 20th ninth 2026 and an
[3:51] affidavit of posting was also
[3:54] completed for the file.
[3:55] At the last hearing the owner
[3:59] had a permit for electrical
[4:02] work that with an initial
[4:03] inspection that had been
[4:05] completed by the building
[4:06] official.
[4:07] >> the final inspection to my
[4:09] knowledge has for the work was
[4:13] also completed on JULY 23rd
[4:13] 2020 sachs.
[4:14] >> the permit was issued to
[4:17] replace the toilet and to make
[4:17] the drywall repairs.
[4:20] To date no other permits have
[4:21] been applied for.
[4:24] On AUGUST 4th, 2026 I followed
[4:27] up with jay, the husband of the
[4:28] property owner, to discuss the
[4:29] board order to make sure that
[4:31] he understood what the board is
[4:31] requiring.
[4:34] >> and jay stated that he did
[4:35] understand and he was working
[4:38] on getting an engineer.
[4:39] After that day I did not have
[4:42] any other contact with the
[4:46] property owner and the will
[4:46] update the board at this time.
[4:47] >> thank you.
[4:53] Thank you.
[4:58] >> good evening, ladies and
[4:58] gentlemen of the board.
[4:59] My name is steve woodworth and
[5:00] the building official in new
[5:01] smyrna beach.
[5:02] I have not had any contact with
[5:05] the property owner since the
[5:05] last meeting.
[5:06] He has pulled no additional
[5:09] apartments that I am aware
[5:09] of or that we show on the
[5:14] building department record.
[5:15] Given that I cannot offer any
[5:18] new information or testimony to
[5:19] this case, I prefer to defer my
[5:22] time to the property owner.
[5:23] The only questions that will be
[5:26] available for whatever
[5:27] questions here.
[5:27] >> thank you.
[5:27] Okay.
[5:38] Thank you so I don't know.
[5:38] I don't know.
[5:41] okay.
[5:42] >> got it.
[5:42] Yeah.
[5:48] Sir, would you like to speak?
[5:49] Good afternoon.
[5:52] I have a complete some of the
[5:57] paper which is a report from
[6:05] the engineer and also
[6:09] engineering firm and also from
[6:13] the home inspector.
[6:21] And I have here and I any
[6:22] question I can answer you?
[6:25] I think I can receive a report.
[6:26] >> yeah, that's what I know.
[6:28] So would you mind passing the
[6:29] documents so we can take a look
[6:39] at them in the house now
[6:39] ?
[6:43] >> sir, do you have a copy
[6:44] of those reports or is this
[6:46] your only copy?
[6:47] >> I can hear you well.
[6:50] Is this the only copy you have
[6:51] or can we keep it for our
[6:54] records of the report that you
[6:57] just submitted?
[6:58] >> yes.
[7:01] The report that you just
[7:01] submitted.
[7:02] >> do you have a copy?
[7:05] Can we keep this copy?
[7:05] >> yeah.
[7:12] Thank you
[7:59] .
[8:00] >> so, sir, it appears the
[8:08] engineering report states that
[8:09] the second there are in.
[8:11] Yeah, that makes two of us.
[8:11] You're welcome to come up here
[8:13] and you're.
[8:14] >> so it appears the
[8:15] engineering report you
[8:18] submitted it speaks of the
[8:19] property being rebuilt.
[8:21] A bowl.
[8:22] >> I guess the disconnect here
[8:25] is what is it that's preventing
[8:26] you from communicating with the
[8:29] building department about
[8:29] proceeding forward with this?
[8:32] are you preventing what what's
[8:33] preventing you from
[8:33] communicating with city staff
[8:37] and the building department to
[8:37] proceed forward with getting an
[8:39] appropriate permit for these
[8:43] repairs?
[8:47] You're asking me what in that
[8:48] report?
[8:51] >> I'm asking why you're not
[8:52] communicating with the building
[8:52] department.
[8:58] >> why did I apply for office
[8:59] permit for all electrical
[9:03] systems that they completed?
[9:04] Okay.
[9:13] And the best inspection the
[9:13] inspections delivered.
[9:13] >> okay.
[9:16] Do you believe you're done with
[9:17] the.
[9:17] No, I'm still working on it.
[9:21] Okay.
[9:22] I know I let you know I didn't
[9:24] go in for the minor things
[9:27] which are whichever it was.
[9:35] Questionable stuff I.
[9:38] >> I wasn't able to fix it and
[9:44] I spent all that to fix their
[9:45] property.
[9:45] Okay.
[9:52] So I did whatever.
[9:53] >> so the photographs that this
[9:53] board is currently looking at
[9:58] are.
[9:58] Yes.
[9:58] Yes.
[10:05] This
[10:05] okay?
[10:05] Yeah, I will.
[10:06] Okay.
[10:09] So again there you go.
[10:10] We'll be able to hear each
[10:10] other now.
[10:12] So the photographs that we're
[10:13] looking at here are months old
[10:16] obviously what is the current
[10:17] condition of the property?
[10:17] What is your plan for next
[10:20] steps?
[10:20] >> all right.
[10:24] There are some pictures of that
[10:24] property inside and outside
[10:25] compared to what you see.
[10:28] There's nothing that looks like
[10:29] this all gone.
[10:32] And what are the plans for the
[10:35] private property?
[10:36] What are your plans for next
[10:36] steps?
[10:41] There's saying they need to
[10:42] have I wrote down that paper
[10:45] and that paper has a link I
[10:48] have to if I can get that paper
[10:49] I will look at it.
[10:51] Okay.
[10:52] So what it is right now I want
[10:55] you to paint inside and they
[10:59] one of the people that came and
[11:02] those homeless people they did
[11:03] graffiti inside.
[11:09] And I'm trying to not try to I
[11:10] have to paint the whole
[11:12] building inside.
[11:15] And also I'm putting two new
[11:20] toilets and I have to do
[11:23] questionable to interior doors
[11:26] which I'm replacing it and also
[11:27] the whatever maintenance needs
[11:30] to be done inside outside.
[11:33] So I'm on it.
[11:34] And do you currently have a
[11:37] contractor that's working on
[11:38] getting you prices or do you
[11:41] intend to do this work yourself
[11:45] That I for the for drywall I
[11:49] have permit to do myself.
[11:54] I'm a handyman also I did a
[11:57] dental work in my past so I
[12:00] know most of the this work so
[12:06] it's not a big thing study.
[12:10] I have a question on your roof.
[12:14] I don't see a roof inspection
[12:15] and details.
[12:16] >> I'm still looking here and
[12:18] it was leaking a few spots
[12:21] which I fixed it.
[12:26] Okay because I still see mildew
[12:27] a stasis maybe you in the walls
[12:27] in there.
[12:35] So I guess you pass the roof
[12:36] inspection so you're ready for
[12:39] paint.
[12:40] And so what your next step is
[12:44] going to be paint or not ready
[12:46] for anything.
[12:47] The interior walls you've done
[12:48] that you've done the drywall
[12:51] repair.
[12:52] I did not do yet.
[12:56] I'm still collecting all the
[12:56] still doing terrible.
[12:57] Yes.
[12:57] Yes.
[12:57] Yes.
[12:57] Yeah.
[12:58] Okay.
[12:59] So what's your plan of action
[13:02] and what's your timeframe for
[13:03] fixing the home?
[13:06] I'm doing as quick as possible
[13:10] because I have I'm doing I have
[13:11] another project.
[13:14] You have another project?
[13:15] No, I mean not here.
[13:15] Okay.
[13:18] I'm busy in a different things
[13:19] are there so as as much as I.
[13:22] I have first priority as soon
[13:22] aseave time.
[13:23] Right.
[13:25] Go ahead and do the job.
[13:30] Okay.
[13:30] One more question.
[13:32] Yeah, I have a question for you
[13:33] There were questions in regards
[13:34] to the aluminum structure the
[13:36] aluminum addition that was
[13:37] built on to the back of the
[13:37] house.
[13:39] You know what I'm talking about
[13:40] that aluminum room that was
[13:43] built there were questions in
[13:44] regards to the aluminum
[13:47] structure that was added to the
[13:51] back of the house has one other
[13:56] thing was they inspected in one
[13:59] speak and art that was
[14:02] inspected it when I apply like
[14:06] 1213 years ago there was the
[14:10] permitted and engineered.
[14:10] Okay.
[14:13] So so I'm understanding that is
[14:14] not engineered for habitation.
[14:17] It is engineered green room but
[14:18] not for a part of your house
[14:21] for an interior living space.
[14:22] Was that addressed by the
[14:22] engineer?
[14:25] Yeah, that he checked it out.
[14:26] Whatever.
[14:27] He checked the whole building.
[14:31] There was two engineers.
[14:32] And are your intentions with
[14:35] that room to try to make it
[14:35] living space again or are you
[14:40] trying to tear that down from
[14:41] this green room on the back?
[14:41] The aluminum room?
[14:44] No, no, no, no.
[14:48] Not on the porch on the back on
[14:48] that there's going to be porch
[14:49] space.
[14:49] Yeah, porch both to the front
[14:53] and back.
[14:58] And so it was also using the
[15:05] system for the building is
[15:08] concerned.
[15:12] I mean we have an engineer this
[15:12] is structural adjustment.
[15:14] Okay?
[15:22] Based on structural.
[15:22] Okay.
[15:29] So so just for clarity, was
[15:33] there a large aluminum addition
[15:37] to the back of the home like a
[15:43] metal frame room that supports
[15:43] it?
[15:44] I didn't have any.
[15:47] Okay.
[15:47] No structure.
[15:51] All right.
[15:57] Just just a short.
[16:03] Okay
[16:08] Is this the owner of the home?
[16:09] >> is that picture the rear
[16:13] of the home?
[16:13] yeah, right now?
[16:13] Yeah.
[16:14] Okay.
[16:19] Yeah, I did a lot of work.
[16:23] Okay.
[16:24] That's awesome.
[16:28] Okay, here's all your
[16:28] paperwork, sir.
[16:28] >> yeah.
[16:31] Forec record.
[16:32] >> oh, yeah.
[16:32] So again, you're going to keep
[16:33] it for the record.
[16:35] We can keep this.
[16:35] You have copies?
[16:35] Yes.
[16:36] Yes, I have another.
[16:37] They give me threeieopies.
[16:38] >> you have handwritten notes
[16:38] here.
[16:41] So you have copies of it.
[16:42] You can give me that.
[16:42] Okay.
[16:45] So I know it does invoicing.
[16:45] Okay.
[16:46] I'm going to go ahead and hand
[16:47] this to you.
[16:47] You can go down and speak with
[16:48] the attorney directly.
[16:54] There you go, sir
[17:05] Thank you.
[17:08] Okay.
[17:12] You have it, sir.
[17:15] Right here.
[17:22] You got that
[17:27] MISS Heidi as well
[17:30] as walker of your speaking.
[17:31] Can you speak on the
[17:31] microphone?
[17:32] Yeah, I apologize.
[17:33] Yeah, we're not capturing what
[17:33] you're saying.
[17:34] Yeah, I'm sorry.
[17:35] No, I was just saying that I
[17:35] think we should have some
[17:38] discussion.
[17:38] It does look like he's
[17:39] progressing and making an
[17:42] effort.
[17:43] so I would like to make a
[17:46] motion to give him an extended
[17:47] 30 days and to see if he's
[17:50] still progressing.
[17:53] Can I second that motion?
[17:56] >> can I clarify when you're
[17:57] giving him an extended 30 days,
[17:58] do you want him to still comply
[18:01] with all the previous requests
[18:04] that were in the original order
[18:05] dated JULY 23rd, 2026?
[18:08] Yes.
[18:12] The list of five things yes.
[18:16] We have a second chance.
[18:16] Yes.
[18:20] Very very good.
[18:21] Mary five second.
[18:21] Yes.
[18:25] Mary if I could.
[18:25] Yes.
[18:25] Randolph mcmahon.
[18:27] Yeah.
[18:27] Yes.
[18:28] Frank dalton yes.
[18:31] Bob warner yes.
[18:31] Heidi hales walker yes.
[18:38] The motion carries
[18:42] The next case is a request to
[18:45] appear seven a 67 cottingham
[18:45] drive.
[18:47] Officer barbara both will act
[18:52] presenting this case as belle
[18:58] de dash 200029-2026 property
[18:59] location at 67 cunningham drive
[19:02] this is a variance case the
[19:06] property owner donny and stacy
[19:06] hunt 67 cunningham drive has
[19:10] requested to appear before the
[19:11] building trade board to request
[19:11] a variance to the existing
[19:14] finished floor for the new and
[19:16] proposed additions to 67
[19:17] cunningham drive.
[19:20] They would like the floor
[19:27] elevation to be remain at 8.26
[19:30] and eight feet two inches 26in
[19:33] as originally constructed in
[19:33] 2012.
[19:37] In lieu of the new ffa for new
[19:38] construction that was
[19:40] implemented during the 2020 new
[19:44] f b c r building code cycle
[19:47] requires f e to be two foot
[19:48] zero inches above the flood
[19:48] elevation.
[19:51] So they're asking for a
[19:55] variance to leave it at their
[19:56] current elevation and stead
[19:58] of meeting the new flood
[20:02] elevation.
[20:03] This is like the question I
[20:06] have is I well I guess we'll
[20:09] just let steve do his thing
[20:10] first or no.
[20:10] >> yes.
[20:13] This is not my expertise.
[20:13] What perfect.
[20:20] Thank you
[20:25] Good evening again board steve
[20:25] woodworth for the city of new
[20:26] smyrna beach.
[20:27] I am in building and official
[20:28] and for the record I am state
[20:29] license building official plans
[20:32] examiner building inspector and
[20:33] an icc certified property
[20:36] maintenance inspector.
[20:37] You got a question, ma'am?
[20:37] I did.
[20:43] I guess my my question is has
[20:44] it ever flooded before in the
[20:48] past I can't speak to whatever
[20:48] it's flooded in the past.
[20:51] It hasn't flooded since 2012
[20:55] when it was constructed.
[20:56] I'd like to provide the board a
[20:56] little background information
[20:58] of why we're hearing this and
[21:02] how we got here.
[21:03] New smyrna beach is part of a
[21:07] community rating system where
[21:11] we get a a grade, if you will,
[21:12] on how we enforce the flood
[21:14] provisions of our code and
[21:19] whether they are stricter than
[21:22] the minimum standards and new
[21:23] smyrna beach decided in 2020 to
[21:26] make our code stricter than the
[21:27] minimum standards.
[21:27] >> so we got a higher grade in
[21:30] our community rating.
[21:31] So that's what we're here
[21:31] discussing tonight.
[21:34] It is not that this house was
[21:35] constructed below base flood
[21:38] elevation it when it was
[21:39] constructed it met all the
[21:42] applicable laws and our
[21:43] required freeboard since the
[21:46] time it was constructed we have
[21:46] increased our level
[21:50] of compliance.
[21:50] We've elevated our minimum
[21:52] elevation by 12in.
[21:57] So this house when it is
[21:57] improved it would meet the
[22:00] minimum requirements or it
[22:03] would be a level of substantial
[22:04] improvement which defaults into
[22:08] meeting the new flood elevation
[22:08] which is why we're here this
[22:09] evening.
[22:11] >> the house is 14 years old.
[22:15] It has not flooded however it
[22:16] would not meet our current
[22:20] minimum flood elevation.
[22:23] >> a staff report from the city
[22:24] engineering department was
[22:28] submitted with your agenda.
[22:28] It did not carry engineering
[22:32] department approval.
[22:33] >> they've worked very hard to
[22:35] get the c r d c r s words that
[22:39] and they are afraid that a
[22:39] deviation would be noticed
[22:43] under audit and we would get
[22:43] docked for that.
[22:47] With that being said, it is up
[22:47] to you if you would like to
[22:50] allow this allowance in the
[22:51] free board element not the base
[22:54] flood element.
[22:55] >> how many square feet is the
[22:58] addition do you know?
[22:59] I do not remember off the top
[23:00] of my head sir.
[23:02] I'm sure that the property
[23:03] owner has that information and
[23:03] could provide it in this
[23:04] testimony.
[23:06] >> understood.
[23:11] >> any other questions?
[23:11] >> not at this time.
[23:12] All right.
[23:14] For now for you, steve.
[23:15] >> I will be available if
[23:16] needed.
[23:16] Thank you.
[23:16] Thank you.
[23:17] Thank you.
[23:21] Is the owner here with you?
[23:25] >> I'm sorry.
[23:25] >> good evening.
[23:26] Thank you for hearing me and
[23:30] our thoughts about this
[23:30] variance.
[23:33] My name is donnie hunt.
[23:34] >> we moved here permanently in
[23:34] AUGUST.
[23:37] We bought this home about two
[23:38] years ago on the search for a
[23:38] home.
[23:41] We looked at a lot of different
[23:42] homes.
[23:42] We look at other homes in this
[23:44] neighborhood that most of the
[23:45] homes are built.
[23:47] >> I think in the 50s and 60s
[23:48] as he stated, the home was
[23:52] rebuilt 12 years 13 years ago
[23:55] we did not think we had any
[23:55] issues.
[23:59] We had the original survey.
[24:00] I didn't see it up there and my
[24:02] architect is here also and I
[24:03] think he has a copy but it does
[24:05] show the 100 year flood line in
[24:09] the front of the house at sachs
[24:11] foot which is fema's line with
[24:16] that being said, we felt we
[24:19] were meeting everything.
[24:23] We were unaware of the extra
[24:26] 12in I least I was and so we
[24:30] bought this house thinking
[24:31] we've got a house that's
[24:31] already been rebuilt.
[24:32] >> it's it's way higher than
[24:34] the neighbors.
[24:35] i have a picture and I can give
[24:37] this to you guys to pass around
[24:38] extremely higher than the
[24:41] neighbors house.
[24:41] >> this portion that they're
[24:45] talking about is only a back
[24:46] bedroom which is going to turn
[24:49] into a dining area, a bathroom
[24:53] and part of another current
[24:53] bedroom.
[24:54] >> we are not changing that
[24:57] part of the slab at all.
[24:58] What we're doing is taken off
[24:58] the garage on the front
[25:01] enlarging it and going to store
[25:02] two stories with it with hopes
[25:05] that we have three kids that
[25:06] there will be room for them to
[25:12] come home to the lines that
[25:13] they talked about.
[25:19] Fema's line we we are above by
[25:19] one foot this state.
[25:23] We are above the county.
[25:26] We are above because we're at
[25:26] 8.26.
[25:29] It's just the extra 12in we've
[25:33] talked about the house flooding
[25:36] since 2016.
[25:40] There's been one, two, three,
[25:40] four, five.
[25:41] There's been sachs storms cat
[25:44] two kapoor, cat five, carrefour
[25:44] cat one got three.
[25:45] The home has never flooded.
[25:47] I asked that when we purchased
[25:50] that small portion that falls 7
[25:51] or 8in short is the big
[25:52] question here.
[25:54] I was also told by city staff
[25:58] that if my dollar amount wasn't
[26:02] above 50% they wouldn't even
[26:02] care about this elevation.
[26:08] So I'm just here saying this
[26:09] house is 13 years old.
[26:10] I really don't want to have to
[26:13] tear it down and start over.
[26:13] I've already moved out of the
[26:17] house because I have a pool
[26:20] contractor who's already got
[26:21] his permit to start the job.
[26:24] he was actually going to start
[26:25] and I halted him.
[26:26] We're not in the home anymore.
[26:28] We're out in another home and
[26:30] time and just going to delay
[26:34] and delay and delay just trying
[26:35] to make this our final home.
[26:38] And I don't know if there's
[26:39] anything else that my architect
[26:41] mark can add if you don't mind
[26:45] Sure.
[26:50] So that's fine.
[26:57] So so good evening.
[26:58] >> hi.
[26:58] I'm martin israel.
[26:59] I'm the architect of can you
[27:00] speak into the microphone?
[27:01] I am mark nasrallah, the
[27:03] architect of record.
[27:06] I've been working in new smyrna
[27:07] since the 80s so I am aware
[27:10] of all of the building codes
[27:14] and local codes ordinances and
[27:14] I hate making mistakes.
[27:18] When we went into this project
[27:22] we got our survey with all
[27:25] of our bfi's everything we done
[27:26] added the fema lines which is
[27:30] the very first thing I told
[27:30] lonnie we have to do because
[27:32] we've done a lot of work on the
[27:33] water.
[27:35] We understand there is a two
[27:36] foot minimum about the fee
[27:39] we're required for.
[27:40] Our survey right there in
[27:43] yellow says flood plain 6.0
[27:46] we're at 8.23.
[27:49] I said we're good to go here is
[27:50] not the first seven elevation
[27:54] on this and when it says that's
[27:57] my fema line we just assumed
[27:58] terrible word that we're good
[28:01] to go it wasn't until
[28:02] engineering pointed out and
[28:04] even our we have a civil
[28:05] engineer david blunt he's never
[28:08] even seen it this back left
[28:09] corner of the house has a seven
[28:12] touch unit and we don't know
[28:13] why we can't explain it because
[28:16] the elevation back there is
[28:17] five and four and everything is
[28:20] falling off and why we have a
[28:21] seven at that back corner we're
[28:23] like you know we we don't
[28:24] understand but it's there.
[28:27] It's on the fema map.
[28:28] I did not check the fema map
[28:30] because my surveyor said we're
[28:31] at sachs so we that's why we
[28:34] have a finished product.
[28:38] I'm not one to do and ask for
[28:38] forgiveness.
[28:39] We had everything we thought we
[28:42] had everything we thought
[28:42] checked out done is done as
[28:48] mentioned we're nine inches
[28:48] short.
[28:51] The majority of the
[28:52] construction proposed is the
[28:56] garage and above the garage the
[28:57] main house pretty much remains.
[29:00] We have because I told him
[29:01] don't touch the existing house
[29:05] it's good let's build a by the
[29:05] garage.
[29:07] So that was actually 90% of our
[29:11] work is new garage for above
[29:16] which is about 2000ft so and
[29:17] also when we're done we're
[29:21] going to have all new windows
[29:22] to meet all of the new when
[29:25] zone loads we're going to have
[29:26] all of our all the new
[29:27] structure will meet the new
[29:29] current code so the house will
[29:33] be pretty close to meeting all
[29:33] of the current levels.
[29:34] And then as I've mentioned to
[29:37] donny we meet the federal code,
[29:40] we meet the state code, we meet
[29:41] the county code for minimum
[29:41] floor.
[29:44] It's only new smyrna that we
[29:45] are denied which is below.
[29:48] So that is what our request is
[29:49] for the variance so we
[29:51] have any questions not at this
[29:55] time, no.
[29:55] Good.
[29:55] Thank you.
[30:02] Thank you.
[30:03] I feel since the house is above
[30:06] the road that there probably
[30:07] won't be any flooding
[30:10] situations but would there be
[30:11] any problem if he goes to sell
[30:14] and doesn't have those
[30:15] requirements done?
[30:17] That's no problem in the
[30:17] future.
[30:24] I agree that is do we have a
[30:28] motion of do a motion that he
[30:32] does not have to improve the
[30:32] property to or he doesn't have
[30:35] to do the elevation in order to
[30:36] get a permit to complete the
[30:39] house??
[30:40] That's correct.
[30:45] I second that for the variance
[30:51] Mary baker yes.
[30:52] Randolph opinion yes.
[30:52] Franklin yes.
[30:53] Bob warner yes.
[30:54] Idaho's walker yes.
[30:58] The motion carries.
[30:58] Thank you.
[30:59] If you'd like to collect your
[31:05] photographs, good luck.
[31:11] Enjoy
[31:23] I was just moving on to the is
[31:27] there anything else on this and
[31:28] solve the business.
[31:28] Do we have any old business to
[31:30] discuss?
[31:34] I just want to update you all
[31:35] that the two houses that were
[31:35] approved for demolition were
[31:38] done out this week so the two
[31:41] houses and the sheldon home and
[31:42] the palm street those were
[31:46] demos this week and they'll be
[31:48] finishing up the 428 palm
[31:48] street tomorrow.
[31:49] >> thank you so much for the
[31:51] update.
[31:55] good work.
[31:59] >> okay any new case business
