Also, they coujldn't get the bronze aluminum for awhile and there are still shortages of material they are dealing with, labor shortages because people would rather live off the government than work etc etc. This is the new reality under the current administration in DC.

It was Summer 2022 (last year).
The 3 months was from shovel in the ground to completion..
It was 12 to 18 months from contract signing to completion - but I did not have a construction project in my back yard for a year.
