Jose Cajigas can be forgiven for venting his frustration with the highway-widening project along State Road 434 in front of his beauty salon.
After all, construction workers temporarily shut off the water to his business several months ago while a few of his customers sat with shampoo and dye in their hair.
In a panic, Cajigas raced across the busy highway to a nearby convenience store to buy several gallon-jugs of water and hauled them back to his salon.
"Oh, it was horrible," Cajigas said.
He's not the only small-business owner along S.R. 434 losing patience with the construction project that began in August 2012 and continues today, despite assurances from state transportation officials a year ago that the work would have been completed by last August.
"I just want to see it done," said Albert Guillemette, owner of Unique Stone & Tile, as he looked at road crews and heavy-construction machines across the street. "Enough already I get people that avoid this area because of all the work and confusion."
But the end is near, officials with the state's Department of Transportation say. The only work that remains, they promise, is adding a final layer of asphalt, striping and landscaping along the medians.
When those final touches are completed by the end of February, the 1.8-mile stretch of highway will have six lanes between Interstate 4 and Rangeline Road, plus bicycle lanes and wider sidewalks.
That will make the roadway easier to drive and draw more customers to businesses along the thoroughfare, officials said.
DOT spokesman Steve Olson said the project was delayed after workers found aging water lines underground that needed to be replaced.

A prank played by a Nanaimo student on his friend which triggered their schools sprinkler system has resulted in the boy and his parents being ordered to pay $48,000 in damages.
On Jan. 17, 2012, Carson Dean, then a 14-year-old student attending Wellington Secondary School, decided to play a prank on his friend Ben Daniel during the lunch break.
Carson took his friends padlock and tried to attach it to the sprinkler head in the ceiling of one of the schools hallways.
Unfortunately the prank led to the schools entire sprinkler system being activated, causing extensive water damage in the school.
During the incident, the fire alarm went off and the entire school was evacuated. Carson went to the assembly area and confessed his involvement to a teacher.
The school district sued the boy and his parents, Cheryl and Kevin Dean, arguing that the boy was negligent and should have to pay for the water damage, which amounted to $48,000.
At trial, the parents argued that their son was not negligent and that the School Act does not impose liability unless the student intended to cause damage, which wasnt the case.
They also argued that their son was a normal, rambunctious and impulsive 14-year-old boy who wouldnt know how a sprinkler head was activated and would not have understood the risks.
But in a ruling released Thursday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Shelley Fitzpatrick that while a school assumes care of a child dropped off at the school, the school also sets out certain behaviours expected of a child.
In the case of Carson, he was well aware of the ability to play with things and break them and also knew that he wasnt supposed to be attaching his friends padlock anywhere he wanted, said the judge.

A new study led by the University of Colorado is providing insights into the ways people experience pain, and manage it, through separate pathways in the brain.
The study, published this month in PLOS Biology, shows that when people use their thoughts to dull or enhance the experience of pain, the physical pain signal in the brain conveyed by nerves in the area of a wound, for example, and encoded in multiple regions in the cerebrum does not actually change.
Rather, the act of using thoughts to modulate pain, a technique termed "cognitive self-regulation," commonly used to manage chronic pain, works by way of a separate neural pathway.
The study is credited with showing that the processing of pain in our brains goes beyond the mere physical pain signal and underscores a better understanding among neuroscientists that there is not a single pain system in the brain.
"We found that there are two different pathways in our brains that contribute to the pain experience," Choong-Wan Woo, lead author of the study and a doctoral student in CU's Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, stated in a news release.
"One way to say it is maybe it's not as important what the sensation is or the immediate pain response is, but it's important how you think about it," Tor Wager, a co-author on the study and associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at CU, said in an interview.
The first pathway mediates the effects of turning up the intensity of painful stimulation and includes regions of the brain such as the anterior cingulate cortex. The second pathway, discovered in the new study, mediates the effects of cognitive regulation and involves boosting activity in the medial prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens regions of the brain linked to emotion and motivation, but not typically responsive to physical pain.
This latter pathway may hold some of the keys to understanding the "emotional" aspects of pain, which can contribute substantially to long-term pain and disability.
"This pathway is really interesting in terms of what pain is and what it means," Wager said. "It doesn't change in activity if you turn up the heat and deliver pain. Its changes are more complex.
"It's really capturing the significance that you assign to pain, and to other emotional events. It turns out to be important not only for pain, but how you value things in life, how much you want or don't want, and when you generate emotional responses. It's also very important to depression, PTSD, and it's important across a range of emotion-related disorders."

Living in "tiny houses" is a popular down-sizing trend that's taking place across the country. So, how would you like to live in a tiny home?
A locally owned company called Affordable Portable Structures just came out with a whole new category of building options for Central Texas. It's called TexasEZLog. Floor plans range in size from a playhouse to an eight bedroom tiny home. 500, 800 even 1000 square feet. They claim to be not only functional but affordable.
"These things, there are so many different uses. This model, we have many people buying it for offices, artists, artist studios, exercise room. The versatility of this product is just, anything you can think of. Pool cabanas. You name it, we have it and we can provide it for you," say Jerry Fryer, TexasEZLog.
The interesting thing, is that they have partnered with Habitat for Humanity and Mobile Loaves and Fishes, helping our area's homeless population get back on their feet.
