Matt & Jay have been busy welding the sturdy steel armature. The rowboat armature is now complete, and the eight tentacles are well underway. Because each arm has twists and turns, the structure needs plenty of cutting, fitting, and welding. Every piece is custom-cut. Next week they will move on to tying on the diamond lath, and once that is in place, the sculpting will begin. Stay tuned…
Final paint on letters
The Howl at the Moon Stage sign is looking fabulous as Jay applies the final touches to the lettering. The sign, along with the other fun pieces under construction will soon be on their way to Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Nebraska. Stay tuned…
Brooms install
We love installations! Since we don’t do very many local installations, Jay and Matt were excited to be included. As we packed the brooms and tools onto the worksite an instant crowd gathered. Word had got out that the brooms were being installed. Amber, from Witchy Boo and one of the 1881 owners made sure they were perfectly placed. Then Jay and Matt drilled the holes, hammered in the anchor bolts and tighten things down. We masked off the concrete to touch up the paint on the supports and then it was time for a first official test flight. Amber supplied the witch hats and the brooms worked perfectly as expected.
