Interviewer: Greetings everyone and welcome to episode 64 of the Panelized Prefab Kit Home Building Show. We’re here today, as usual, with the president and founder of Landmark Home and Land Company, a company which has been helping people build their new homes where they want, exactly as they want, nationwide and around the globe since 1993. The always illuminating Mr. Steve Tuma. Steve, how’s it going, amigo? Steve Tuma: It’s a great day. It’s another good day. It was a really interesting day.
