It took a lot longer than we wanted. The Friends of Glen Oak Zoo were raising money. It took some doing to get some of the park district people on board to help with it. So we were able to get the superintendent of parks at the time involved enough to think some of his guys and his crews, whether it be carpenters, heavy equipment, that type of thing, to get excited about building it. So we, you know, we schmoozed them a little bit too and took them to some other zoos to see what they had done. And got them to buy in on it so it wasn’t, we were able to build it cheaper than what it was gonna have to be if we just went out. And hired the whole thing out. So that was a good lesson in itself.
