Pipe dream cafe



Yep, it's been a detour alright.
5 months worth



Road closed?

Not a chance
we are battling on.



Endless meetings with the city
people who love to hear their own voices
 jibber jabber

Good Grief.



  3/4 inch water pipe to
a whopping
1 inch pipe


Did you know we are part of the beautification team
of our little mountain town?




somehow we need to pay for all this
so
  Pierre is digging for gold

these are the floor joists
 he had to cut a hole in the floor and dig a 4 ft hole where the pipes meet up




Public parking is next




and here is the motherlode
  the main pipe that they're
connecting too.





ain't this a beauty
 this is the machine that will shoot the pipe right in to connect underneath the cafe

the pipe
the 1 inch pipe.

and we thought we just needed a little renno.

BRING IT ON!
Pierre came home last night after a 12 hour workday
 full of dirt & dust
looked at me
 with a big smile
"I like what money can do
- it gets things done"

Nothing makes me me feel happier than to see my husband happy!
it has been a long road.
 but there is finally light at the end of the tunnel

or should I say water at the end of the pipe?

  1. Hooray for pipes being put in and happy husband's!
    Sounds like your town is like ours with all the red tape; makes me so glad we are no longer in construction!
    Have a great weekend and I hope you strike gold!

May the Warm Winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your Mocassins
Make happy tracks
in many snows,
and may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder.
