Well I have not worked inside for YEARS and there is no way my Coker (which has a footprint of over 3 city blocks) can be put inside a building. If it could, it would have been done already.

"When I was your age... we had to walk 50 miles to the school, in minus 45 with wind and blizzard and up hill both ways... BAREFOOT!!!!"
