That's one thing I notice about you, Ian, is no matter

you are unflavable and I gotta believe that helps with your job.

I will make sure that my coworkers listen to this house. Welcome to the Fine Home Building podcast, a weekly discussion of building,

remodeling, and design topics aimed to anybody who cares deeply about the craft and science

of working on houses.

I'm Senior Editor Patrick McComb.

Today I'm joined by Fine Home Building Contributing Editor and Production for TDS Custom Construction, Ian Schwant.

Howdy.

Fine Homebuilding Editorial Advisor Mike Gerton.

Hey there.

And producer Andres Semaniego.

Hello.

Please email your questions to FHB Podcast at Fine Homebuilding.com.

You can find previous podcasts and check out the show notes at findhomeloading.com slash podcast. Great to see you guys this morning. Thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. Yeah, you bet. Ian, you recently had a huge broadband upgrade to your formerly very mediocre web service, right? Can you talk about that a little?

That's a that's an understatement. I'm reminded of Kevin Ierton once telling me that the first time he

used a pneumatic nail gun was like seeing God. That's kind of how I feel about my internet connection now.

Well, you know, the best thing is we can actually see you.

I mean, usually you're a blur on the screen when we record these because we just see this blur moving around.

But you are sharp.

I didn't know.

You look a little younger than I thought you were.

I appreciate that, Mike.
