hcrr plumbing remnants operation: move in

operation: move in | phase 2: no more waterworks

Let’s keep this thing moving people! Operation: move in is rocking and we want to keep the momentum! In phase 1: warm me up, we got the furnaces running, because without heat, you can’t keep the pipes warm. And with the crazy spring (aka WINTER) we had here in Divide, we NEEDED heat! So, with our furnace roaring, it is time to stop the water park like action we are getting inside the lodge when we turn the water main on!

hcrr blog furnace operation: move in

operation: move | phase 1: warm me up!

Aaaaaaand GO! The renovation of the Historic Crescent Ranch Resort has officially kicked off! Code named “operation: move in” because, quite honestly, we cannot move in to the lodge in its current condition. In phase 1: warm me up, we need to get the furnaces running. Why heat when there are SO many things we need to focus on? Well, quite simply, we NEED water. And, being April, in Divide, Colorado, at 9200 feet above sea level, we have some serious challenges to deal with. Namely, the FREEZING COLD! And WIND! If we simply turn on the water, without having heat in the lodge, we are sure to create a top-tier water park inside the lodge. Without the water containment systems. Which would be cool. But, after thinking about it more, would be bad. So, phase 1 must be – warm me up!

random thoughts

and so it begins…

A story. Not just our story. Not just someone else’s story. But a combination of the two.

An adventure. Not a thrill seeking, adrenaline-junky type of adventure. But an adventure to be sure.

An investment. Not just a monetary investment. And not just an investment of time. But an investment in family. An investment in other people. Hopefully, an investment in you.
