The kitchen and dining rooms of the Copper Crown Suite of the Hazelnut Inn are now base-coated, and the electrician has hooked up the switches and temporary lighting, which makes the continuing work much easier. The oval windowed dining area is magic with the super-thick walls around it. Opposite is the litchen area with another small oval window that peeks into the hidden library, which will be accessed via a secret door that guests will be able to discover. Over the next weeks, this area will continue to be painted. Stay tuned…
First sign face routed
The Downey’s Farm signs measure almost 8 feet wide by four feet tall. Each face of the sign (4 in all) is routed from a 1 1/2” thick sheet of 25lb Precision Board HDU and takes about eight hours to route on our ShopSabre CNC router. I’ll keep the router going all weekend so we can begin assembling the sign faces next week. As soon as the signs are laminated over the welded steel structural frames, we can fit and weld on the brackets. Stay tuned…
Last concrete sculpting
It was another landmark day as the very last of the concrete sculpting in the Hazelnut Inn was done today. The last piece was the newel post on the bottom of the staircase. It will be allowed to cure before we paint it and the balance of the other concrete we did in the last weeks. With the sculpted concrete behind us it is time for a thorough clean and then the crew will be on to the ceramic tile work in a serious fashion. Things are coming together quickly in the Copper Crown. It won’t be long until guests will be able to enjoy a true castle experience. Stay tuned…
