waiting and hoping and wishing and praying

We waited for the welder to come.

We hoped the welder would come.

We wished the welder would come.

We prayed the welder would come.

We got on the phone and started threatening to find a different welder.

The welder finally showed up.  It only took a little over 3 weeks…

The main hole-y section had to be cut out and a new piece of steel welded into place.
