Plumbing....What Next.

Now that we have heat I think it was inevitable that something else would break. After a few weeks of slow moving drains on all of the houses water it seemed something was up with our plumbing. So after getting a specialist out it looks like Houston, we have another problem. All of the plumbing in the house was routed wrong and everything was off so nothing has been draining.

So for the past bit we have been without really water. With the sink piling up with dishes and Thanksgiving in our sights it is a final relief to get the pipes fixed and everything back to how it once was. Here is a photo of the reworked masterpiece pipe system our house just got.

Pretty Sweet Right?

It is also crazy that so much snow has also been falling lately so I thought I would include one!

The Heat is On*

There are two major improvements that have happened within the last week the first is that we finally have heat! After a long period without heat and just in the nick of time it is now snowing outside! So heat is definitely number one but the second is being able to develop my latest black and white rolls of film at home at the Shantytown and scanning them. These rolls of film are shot both on Kodak TMax 400 film all shot on a Fuji GA645 camera all the way from Los Angeles and out to the Salt Lake desert area. Below are a few of my favorites from the rolls of film.

Even after the heat got turned back on and traveling to LA Brett finally finished his room! Currently masterminding new painting ideas and being fully moved in to his room, Brett still plans on building a custom desk for his room to fit and please his need for a large workspace as a painting and drawing graduate. Below are a couple of snapshots of his room and our new eco friendly furnace!

Fire! This is Not a Drill.

Halloween is always an interesting time of year for the last four years I have spent Halloween in Salt Lake City but this weekend the entire house decided that we were going to road trip to LA and see one of the best Halloween Electronic music festivals in the world. We began our journey south late after all of us finished up work on Friday the 29th. We weren't able to get out of town until 10 PM which put us in California around 930 AM. After a long night of driving and nothing to do until the concert started at 6.

Old Roommate Jon

One of our old roommates from a few years past recently moved to California so we stopped in and said hello then we continued on to LA. Here is the poster for the concert so you can see for your self who all was playing at the show. After the first night of mayhem we were off to the beach for some relaxation then back to another night of fun. Before we were able to get to the show our Hotel lit on fire. The 2nd time that has happened in 2 weeks at the hotel as we sat in our room fire alarms only made us laugh and think who pulled the alarm but when we opened our door smoke rolled in. Here are some photos of the fire dept. of LA doing there jobs.

I will post a few videos after I return back and can use a little bit faster internet. For now here are some photos that I shot on my iPhone, I have 4 rolls of film to develop once I return home!
