it. And Tim, we have an alleyway back here on this one. Yep. Okay. So, that makes our life a lot easier, doesn't it? Yeah. You can bring and drop materials right here in the yard. Looks like they've got a swale that's a snow swale, but I'm going to guess there's an actual swale back there. So, grading is one of those things that you have to take into consideration when you're looking at a project like this. It's absolutely critical. And I want to show you exactly what I'm talking about. As we look at this grade right here, you can see that they've got this swale cut in. And that's so all the water doesn't run straight off and into the swimming pool. But this swale, I think, could be improved upon. And so this will be one of the options that she didn't call for originally that I'm going to give her when I talk to her. All right. Can take her project and make it better. Give her things that she didn't see, didn't know about. So Tim had a conundrum, guys. The gal he talked to was very uncomfortable with disturbing any soil in that area. Right. She seemed like she did not want to screw up much of the yard. And so Tim was opting to take out one section of fence and then try to skinny in between the fence and the pool and do the job, which drove his labor rate up. And his estimate came in at about $12,000 for that project. Is that about right? That was just for the wall portion cuz all the hand labor that it would take to pull all the blocks out. Yep. Carry them all in. You're not using a big machine to bring them in and out and then to take all that soil out. Yeah. That was Yep. That made my my go way up. Okay. So, I came in and I said, "Let's remove the entire fence, even though she doesn't want to do it, and we can then use equipment and do the exact same job complete, for about $10,000, what I say, $300 or so." So, what I'm going to recommend you guys do is give
