While the sculpting and painting crews have been busy finishing a wide variety of projects in the shop and over at the Hazelnut Inn, Keith has been toiling in the metal shop out back. His job is to stay ahead of the crew and fabricate the armatures for the projects that will move into the shop in the weeks to come. Keith’s current project is a giant ‘Old Woman’s Shoe’, which incorporates a slide for the kids who visit Vala’s Pumpkin Patch. To keep things safe for the kids and within code, we are building the giant boot around a commercial slide we sourced from a supplier. The giant footwear measures twelve feet long by four feet wide by just over nine feet tall.
NEB's sculpting done!
We teased Matt this past week, saying he had to finish off the sculpting of the last NEB’s Fun World wall sections, or he couldn’t go to Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea with me. It was an empty threat that he wasn’t worried about. And with a little professional help from his crew, Matt easily polished off the last bits this afternoon. He even had some spare time to do a little sculpting on another project in the shop. By quitting time, he was very excited and rushed to go home and start packing his suitcase. The wall sections Matt & his rew sculpted are looking fabulous! The painting crew will have plenty to do while we are gone! Stay tuned…
Let there be light
The Under Hill suite of the Hazelnut Inn is now seen in an entirely new light. Our friends at B&N Electric worked hard to begin installing the electric switches and fixtures today. It was fascinating as each of the fancy lights was installed, and we could start turning off the harsh work lights. The room instantly became warm and inviting. The ceiling paint is now complete, and over the next couple of weeks, our painters will work toward the floor. The tiling work on the bathroom and kitchenette walls continues. Stay tuned for continued progress…
