The larger features of the robot/dinosaur jungle golf are just as much fun as the little ones. I can hardly wait to begin building these monstrous creations!!
Back to the design table
I am delighted to report that my recovery from my neck surgery ten days ago has been rapid and amazing. Chronic aches and pains previously endured are gone. The feeling has largely returned to my hands. Freed from pain, I have a lot more energy. The toughest challenge is to not overdo things as I continue to heal. My family and crew keep a close eye on me to make sure that happens. I look forward to being able to drive once again by the middle of next week! In the meantime, I am spending lots of time at my design table, dreaming up concepts for a variety of projects we will be tackling in the future.
Shrinking a wooden pig
The BBQ pig sign looked enormous in the shop as we were creating it, and measured more than nine feet in length and four feet in diameter. It shrank a little as we moved it outside. Last week, he magically grew again as we gently stuffed him into the back of the semi trailer. Today, as the Vala crew lifted him onto the veranda roof of the new BBQ restaurant he instantly shrank once again. But he also looked perfect, framed by the gable roof end behind him. He is the ideal icon for the restaurant. The smaller version (five feet long) of the pig will be mounted over a giant outdoor fireplace (which is yet to be built) on the left corner of the building. Stay tuned for more pictures of Vala projects tomorrow…
