Last shrubs!

The landscape crew worked their way back to the parking lot of the Hazelnut Inn today as they dug in the last of the perennial shrubs and plants. Next up are the colourful annuals and then we’ll tuck bark mulch around everything before a final cleanup. There’s only nineteen more days until Saturday, June 1 when we hold the grand opening and OPEN HOUSE.

Last bit of NEB's project

Tomorrow morning, the painting crew will do the last paint and touchups on the last section of wall for NEB’s Fun World in Oshawa, Ontario. We’ll then mount the large dimensional NEB’s logo sign into the bricked area of the wall and roll it out the door to join all of the other pieces out in the yard. Thursday morning we’ve scheduled Wishlow Crane to load four semi trucks which will transport the feature to their final home. It has been a challenging but exciting project and we look forward to doing the second half of the project which we will begin late summer. Stay tuned…

Magical night

We sincerely desire to make the Hazelnut Inn magical in every way possible. Capturing that magic in photographs so we can showcase it is equally challenging. We go out of our way to photograph the building constantly at all times of day and through all the seasons as the natural light changes. When we heard about the chance for a spectacular northern light display last night we hoped we could get some good shots of the Inn. We weren’t disappointed. As the lights rapidly and constantly changed Becke and I ran around the building to do our best to capture the magic. It was a magical night!
