You had Mike at your property on day 1? That is incredible. This is so happening for us. I am concerned that we aren't going to have the crew that you had. Is this seriously day 1 shots? That is a ton of work for one day. These are taken from last August, and it's January. Be my guide. Please. I know from experience that doing work for the planet means that the planet will work with me and provide the help needed to do so, but still its a little overwhelming. I want to know more.
