moving upstairs to the main level, of the kitchen is a deck. i try to do my share of barbecuing and hopping around the kitchen. to create extra steps on the transition from the kitchen to the deck would be a real hazard to me. we are proposing to keep that level and flat. that is how we designed that. moving upstairs, one thing i have been fairly consistent on is to have a separate closets so i can keep my clothes organized and do not have to rely on anybody else to point out what is mine. not long ago, i went to a wedding and was the best man. i showed up at the wedding and found out i had my white -- my wife's dress shirt and not my own. these are specific needs in why we designed the house the way we did. i want you to walk a mile in my family issues so you know why this was done. i have to admit it is very painful and embarrassing for me to have the kind of public setting two point out my limitations. i have always tried to overcome challenges. is it reasonable to ask for that? president olague: we have a few speaker cards for the project s
