	First a problem in 2017, we got busted for building Sparkleforge w/o a permit (which we thought was OK b/c there were no load-bearing walls). We submitted a 5-year sprinkling cert showing the partially-sprinkled state of the NB. Talked to Jarrod about a year ago. We didn't know the full extent of the ugprades needed. Got a quote for $20-40K from Flowmasters, so we had that number in our heads. Jarrod also believed that a second exit would have been acceptable. But from talking to the DBI, the bldg has to be fully sprinklered on all floors, including the basement.		* First a problem in 2017, we got busted for building Sparkleforge w/o a permit (which we thought was OK b/c there were no load-bearing walls).

	Per Brian Ho, our landlord, he said it'd be more than $150K. Which is why John tweeted about $150K (and got it!). But when we asked what % we'd have to contribute, he said "I'm not interested" once and he also said "I can't afford it." The 2nd-floor tenant is gone and they haven't even listed that floor up for rent. Kinda seems like they're trying to sell.		* Per Brian Ho, our landlord, he said it'd be more than $150K.
