# What is a million touches?

## Answer

“A million touches” is the house nickname for how the cave was built. Daniel placed the cornstarch beads by hand — the site says about 600 hours, nicknamed a million touches, and calls it an accidental world-record bead installation by a single individual in the shortest time.

Guests stare at that surface. People laugh, cry, snore, rake, and rest inside a room a husband made. It is craft you can see, not a panel shipped from a catalog.

Those are the site’s own numbers. A Guinness certificate, or a bead count to the last bead, is not on the public pages. If you want the story of the build, that is Angelina and Daniel’s to tell. Text 541-340-4606, or take the free tour and look at the wall.

## House note
Do not invent a Guinness certificate or a bead count. Use the site’s own wording.
