And if you recall from looking at the plans on the, the northeastern side of the property, or the northern part of that building is where the steepest slope is and that is adjacent to the, there's a property on Howell Drive right downhill of that building. It's one of the steepest areas and in my opinion probably one of the worst areas of the slopes. So they basically took that information and they applied it broadly. They took the higher competency material and applied it broadly to the analysis. What that does is all of a sudden takes all that information they did, they might as well have done just one boring on the top slope and ignored all the rest of the information. So, and that's where I talk about Unida 1 on Page 2. So they basically talked about that they did an unconfined compressive test were performed on two rock boring samples in borings LB-3 and LB-4. Or, no. From LB-3. And the reason they did that is those were likely, frankly, the most competent pieces of rock of the test and the other rocks probably were fractured. Couldn't get a test. Well, one of things they did find is when they did their compression test, this is going to get technical, so I'll just kind of explain what the results mean. It ended up the strength test of the materials
