Most commissioned by nearby residents who want a piece of livable art. Reporter what was here before you started digging . There was just hillside. Reporter this cave along the Rio Grande River even has power. A wood floor and a colorful backdrop with running water. It took paulette two years to dig. He charged a mere 12 an hour in labor. You dont do this for the money, youre not getting rich off making these beautiful places. No. Its the process. Im having the time of my life. Reporter you can see the way that its offset here. Amazingly, ra paulettes designs been largely unnoticed. Until recently, that is. Use shovels, scrapers.

He hopes those who come here will find in its solitude what ra paulette already has. A sense of peace. And purpose. If there was one simple thing you wanted people to take away from being in one of your caves what would it be . At least a moment or length of time in which they had a deeper feeling and deep every understanding of themselves and life. Osgood coming up. Listen to the music. And later a sticky situation.
