So you don't believe that any of the $1,000,000,000 in cuts of the decast capital plan will lead to scaffold to being up for indefinitely period longer period than

I know.

Because I'm trying to work hard on trying to not put scaffolding up as I do the inspections and get the at least the unsafe condition taken care of to do the capital project.
1:16:12
In the meantime, I don't have to put scaffolding up.
1:16:15
Okay.
1:16:15
That should be working very hard.
1:16:17
I have somebody working very hard on that, and we seem to be really following through pretty good on that.
