Tad's Life

This is a test to see if I can show you some of the transformations we're talking about doing to parts of the Phare. This seems to work. If it weren't late in the day, I'd explain this. Perhaps I'll come back and replace this post with a more complete one on the various transformations in our plans. Tomorrow.

We had another good rain today. Our experiment with a rain gutter on the ITES building that we put up several days ago finally got it's test today and did just fine. We just took a piece of PVC piping laying around that had been sliced in half long ways and put it up with some brackets made of wood scraps. Pierre Marie did the wood work. I just explained the idea and got everybody and his brother to comment and discuss it for a few days before that. Today this little section protected the door under it just fine. Monday we'll buy a 10 foot section of pipe and rig two half pieces to cover the entire front of the building. As it was, rain was dribbling down onto the doorways and running right under the doors and into the building. This won't be pretty, but for now it will solve the problem. We hope. Anyone else have a better (low cost) idea?
