● I found that in almost every single case, a client has become my friend, like a family friend that I consider a lifelong friend.

● A home is a biological living thing. It’s all integrated. For it to be successful, you’re not just slapping stuff on it.

● A permanent home could be a month to three months for a regular permit, assuming no special permits are needed.
