Aside, I saw a wall in or near Summerlin (you know) area. The dang

P.S. Do you think they will demolish the unit on the Strip, meant for
42 stories, capped at 26, for bad installation of rebar?

Not familiar with that, Oren. I'm going Friday. Where is it? It was
weird in Mexico, going along, and seeing how they would do a floor at a
time, leaving the rebar sticking up for the next floor, IF they got the
money ever to do another floor. And it was very common to see. You can
see all sorts of improvised construction methods in Mexico, some
hilarious, some ingenious.

In Mexico, people build as they go and can afford. Unlike us, they do
not borrow money of have a mortgage. It may take years to finish an
small home.
