- "It's nice to be able to drive down the road and point at something and say, hey, I built that or I worked on that." - Bob Kovacs
- I feel like the trade is really taking a decline and people want to actually go out there and do that. But at the same time, that's one of the things that's going to be thriving here over the next couple of years." - Nic Staton
