A lot of people asked us why we wouldn't just hire out this portion as we spend our weekdays running Bodega Ltd. and now our weekends working on demo. We felt like it was vital to get to know the structure and understand it before we could design it. Our approach all along has been to "Think twice, demo once" and the same applies to the design -- let's not over-do it.
