Save for international business travel it has been decades since we pulled an all nighter on one of our projects. With proper scheduling and reasonable deadlines it isn't necessary in our business. But on the construction sites of our customers it is occasionally done. In Trinidad they poured the six thousand square foot second floor slab of the main building yesterday. With heavy day traffic in the streets of the city and high temperatures during daylight hours, the way it is every day in that Caribbean country, they opted for a night pour. I was sleeping soundly in my own bed at home but I did receive reports and photos of the project. Things went smoothly and another major milestone in the creation of Scallywag Bay Adventure Park has now been achieved. I'll be on the way to Trinidad to check it all out later today (and will pull an all nighter on the plane). I can hardly wait!
Viking ship project complete
After many weeks of planning and design, months of cutting and welding and even more weeks of sculpting and painting, the last bits of the Viking ship project were completed today. The ships are exquisitely detailed from bow to stern and all points in-between. It came to be on account of our wonderful team who skillfully and with great care added every bit of detail by hand. Monday morning, bright and early, the crane and trucks will arrive so they can load it all up into five more containers. Then the ship will be gone. There is now a good chance I will get to go to Dubai in a few weeks to show a crew there how to put it all together one final time. If it happens I will get to see the ship assembled which would be very cool!
Angie's last day
Angie started working for us on the first phase of the Cultus Lake Adventure Park, more than two years ago. Since then she's skillfully done all kinds of jobs including troweling and sculpting concrete, painting, welding wiring and a whole lot more. Angie encouraged everyone, always cheerful and always did every task with enthusiasm. Today was her last day with our team as she moves on to new opportunities. We'll miss Angie a great deal but we wish her the very best in everything she does in the future!
