What are these pillars made out of, you may ask.



Waters Heaters! The entire building is constructed from old commercial water heaters! Hence, we have decided The Water Heater Collective is the way to go.

It does deserve some mentioning, the before of the whole thing. We came to a land of untouched grease and grime, and proceeded to get really dirty cleaning up the place. Here's a look at what we saw:

View from the master boss chamber. Get to work you windows!

Crane wires running the length of the building. Birds do not alight on them.



It was here that we had tea and internet browsing services for the recently imparted.

Progress Report:

This past weekend was full of awesome acquisitions! Our new and indispensable friend, Mr. Pete Lang, has continued helping us with construction materials. These include:

- 3000 lbs. of bricks

- 1000 lbs. of lumber
- Chain link fencing
- A twelve-foot long awning


Also obtained were several commercial kitchen appliances for the food-space at front of house. Very, very cool.
