It took 4 years to get here and this is how I did it…

Thinking back on 2019 I remember I had contacted Provo, City about putting a building on a lot we had in Provo that currently had long term RV parking on it. We had acquired a steel building and were curious about putting it up on the empty portion of the lot. Because my father, Sparky is a collector of all things great… mostly Porcelain gas signs, gas pumps and antique cars I thought it a great idea to “house his collection”inside this building. We however were told NO by the city that they had no sewer available connecting to the lot and would not have for years to come. Because I am my fathers daughter and I don’t take NO for an answer I continued asking HOW it could be done. I continued going from person to person in hopes a creative mind could help me. I was told no repeatedly. Eventually, a year or so later we came up with an agreement that would work and the city agreed which would allow us to build bathrooms. What is a lot good for if you are unable to have a bathroom on it???? We had to raise the ground many feet, build our bathrooms up 4 more feet, get water, electricity and dig our own lift station that takes our sewage and lifts it to the Cities sewer line more than a mile up the road. We made it happen and up the structure went. Our bathrooms creatively built inside semi trailers for a unique and retro look. We purchase bus lifts for handicap access to the bathrooms since they are all off the ground. These are just a few fun features of the wedding event space located in Provo that houses our Petroliana museum.
