Between large projects, we do home chores. We began our fence more than twenty years ago, and when we need some work to keep our crews employed, we complete a little more. The 200-foot fence between our good neighbours and us was completed on their side, but not on ours. The project languished while we were busy on the Hazelnut Inn, but that project is now finished, and we have a little time to get it done. The ‘wood’ fence is a great project to practice our sculpting techniques. It is going to be great to see this done at last.
Blend coats on tower
The last piece for Vala’s Pumpkin Patch to be painted is the water tower. Jay’s ambitious project for the day was to do the blended coat on the legs and braces. It is bigger and more complex than it appears, but Jay was in, under and around the giant tripod all day. With only a few minutes to spare, he painted the last of the rivets, making it ready for the glazes, which start on Monday morning. Stay tuned…
Water tower details
As we near the completion of the Vala’s Pumpkin Patch, we are putting the last touches on the pieces, one by one. Jay applied the last glaze to the water barrel this afternoon and also the last details to the dimensional ride sign on the front of it. By the end of the workday, this piece was ready to roll out into the parking lot. There’s one last piece not yet fully painted, which, because of its size, is blocking the giant shop door and preventing the emptying of the shop. That will be remedied by Tuesday of next week. Stay tuned…
