One that be been a wondering that in initiatives administration that we've of construction is as going an think is and things perhaps that -- to might interested pursuing rollback. new the Trump energy in some the of result efficiency energy actually well, I and that not about

have -- or think might kind tighter curious either a could base also well, energy Trump in plans deportation. I one has on building maybe -- on actions what if actions might labor, codes Another for of was the his impact and labor been of what priorities presidency XXXX. that you you your comment executive to

Jeffrey Edwards

Jeff. is This

So we the been -- we've passed was of he But do, know on out that energy what even anyway, legislation -- the the first we've idea recent energy based internally never one, guess, obviously. Fannie, most that's years even will well, I improvement. question, couple a code the banked it never on Freddie that's don't really banked

been So us adoption normal, have as codes, think kind none decades, of statewide on. and both really of just the normal, have not just basis, of that information gradual, banking progressive of we're for on banking internally, I the kind at stricter the sometimes local we energy a supercharged the

I that's, we codes. are where in to regards the think, So

us. for I think think hire last to XX for the from workforce been able train a labor perspective, years, get to I a job we've and the done

had -- pretty business much train this circumstances will as we think it and people before, people. to Great Even be Recession, the said hire I during under even -- usual. any I

rates business, turnover business, business. the of other as to our nature compared like of and industry, market So the still that's as any terms high though improving it's just done retention this in we've construction a even well the to compared

So probably business go-forward I basis. on think it's a as usual

Michael Miller

Yes. -- this think And Michael. I is

that on on Corning I codes to energy Fannie and aspect announced on seeing much expansion shift their of and something they note said any code that it in in was not Kansas starts been their that the to relative earnings, we're everyone we've that for this think not as they fiberglass. talking predicated facility. pretty Owens just I single-family is Freddie. between knows, to think an about I energy good the It's creates believe mean, more I relative increased that also announced call predicated -- multifamily, is, when And demand the all demand.

Phil. sounds local, seeing you're demand your type. the This outlook ticking I in that rate production are on like but -- the maybe to to lot customer regionals growing by from. regional is month builders for wanted benefiting like those more Maggie growth your buydowns into regional think with production are less It than faster builders. those builders still dig I so, But last things up rates or leverage have the a

the you could different hearing just on your if what from about maybe types demand talk So customer outlook you're there.

Jeffrey Edwards

next I do X would production certainly in regional say you're I Not It's more do don't given, builders. for that encouraging volatility demand the where do it that do think out that also having us don't And traffic the the But election I it, obviously with or would builders do. to local we'll behind expect there's happens production think your but extent going they builders. among what think right, I the -- would to I to agree with and to than they don't election been associated help. builders And absolutely the -- uncertainty buydowns rate flexibility see over the X perspective more agree is months. we the and that the rate taking but than with do we the the know, in that rates go a statement lot there's to environment. and

This for Owens a tight of is talking I And capacity to of adds. years mentioned earlier, mean, news all Supply flow means about by not Michael going from -- adds honestly be to a Jeff. Corning is quite good capacity think I frankly in opinion. continues despite make it we're as recent are our market number it probably these that any I free

So it'll in tight that continue to regard. be

in in doing position the to able being historically As Michael internally also was same not of in terms mentioned, tight of emergency-like when to been more satisfy get we've we're our things sometimes purchase material some needs.

But part healthy that I a will think be it'll be good. So environment.

years-ish number next right? manufacturers XX see line kind adds, I of capacity in for If think it XX environment.
