We are exceptionally proud of every member of our crew for each of them is an amazing person. This past summer Jenessa was asked by her church to take on a project that would transform the children's ministry room. She did the design and all the organizing of the project. To do the theme work she asked a number of our current and former employees to help her and together they did a fabulous job. TJ, also a former member of our crew, put together a time lapse video of the project. Enjoy!
Building a dimensional jigsaw puzzle
The boys finished welding in the thousands of feet of pencil rod to complete the framework for the inside of the mine shaft today. That meant the crew could begin the labor intensive task of attaching the galvanized diamond lath to the two middle sections. Peter continued to block in the structure and framework for the outside portions of the mountain. Everything is being designed to come apart in eight large sections before we start applying the sculpted concrete skin. Once the concrete and painting are done the pieces will then be transported to the worksite and craned into position to be bolted back together once more. This is the single largest piece we've done in our shop to date.
Thirty-two days and counting
The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions expo is to be held in thirty-two days. It's coming quickly! Our booth got it's final going over this morning. Supplies were loaded in and everything checked one last time. Then it was time for a shop rearrangement as we moved it outside to the porch. Tomorrow a semi-truck and trailer will pull into the yard and we'll load it up for the long journey to Florida. It looks to be a busy show with a number of meetings already planned. We look forward to seeing many old friends and meeting a whole bunch of new ones. It's thirty-two days until showtime! If you are going to the IAAPA EXPO we'll be in booth 980. See you there!
