16:36 and I said I was only interested if we
16:38 could build it in brick and stucco and
16:41 vaults and domes which a couple of
16:43 Masons can do and it is an amazing
16:45 process and this way you sleep under a
16:48 dome not on a piece of horizontal
16:51 concrete slab and it's just magical what
16:55 you can do and these Mason's are happy
16:59 as as anything because they get to do
17:01 their craft and so I'm really pleased
17:03 about that...
