Our crew has completed welding of the fence structure and pencil rod armature. They’ve also finished sculpting about 75 feet of the boards. Now they are on to tying the diamond lath to the balance of the length. I paced it out tonight, and there is just over 200 feet of fence in all. They’ve rigged the temporary, movable shelter over the fence to provide some relief from the hot sun. It is a big project, but our yard will look a whole lot neater when we are complete. Stay tuned…
Cool dino
Harmless practical jokes are common in our shop, and the crew get pretty inventive in their efforts. When I was in Nebraska, Jay decided one of my dino signs needed some pupils in its eyes. He pasted on two tape circles and placed them at a wonky angle. It made me laugh when I walked into the shop when I got back from Nebraska. This weekend, I went back into the shop to get my bike for an adventure along the river. The little dino was now sporting some dark safety glasses. Once again I had to laugh at our crew’s hijinks.
Shipwreck installed
The third large feature we installed at Cap’n Elias’s Shipwreck Cove mini golf was the shipwreck final hole. The feature is situated next to the building, so the balls played into this feature will roll inside the clubhouse. The Vala’s crew are busy constructing the clubhouse building, which will also house a gift shop. In the next two weeks, Randy McFarling and his crew will pour the concrete greens. When I return in the first week of August, I’ll do the final layouts, and Randy will start the brick edging and walkways. The pool and landscape crews will also be busy doing their work. There are only six weeks left before guests get to enjoy all of these new attractions. Stay tuned…
