So, if the customer is expecting this wall to be, you know, completely smooth, you um you're going to have to explain that ex, you know, that expectation to them that it's not going to be smooth. You have to explain that to the builder, too. So, if the builder is not um if he sees Sun Valley Texture all over the place and you're a new painter come in and you spray and back roll it and it's not what he's accustomed to, you know, coming from his other painters, you may end up running into a problem.
