Top of the Mountain to You!

The mud has begun! Today we mudded the very first section of the Cloud Buster Mine. We started with the upper most section (of course).

With Grant mixing concrete out on the cold half of the rest of the crew worked hard to apply the mud to the mountain and by 2:30 we had covered all the steel and wire. The rest of the crew began carving rock at 12:30 and we finished everything with 15 minutes to spare and the end of the day (we diligently wired the next section of mountain in celebration!). All in all, it was a goodly day.

Booth 980 at IAAPA!

I was up extra early this morning to head to the airport. My ultimate destination is the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions EXPO in Orlando in a few days with a side trip to Trinidad first to check on the progress on the project. Peter, Becke and Hailey will finish the week at home before jumping on a plane to meet me in Orlando. We are all excited to be showcase our company once more at the giant of all theme park trade shows. We welcome those attending to visit us in booth 980. See you at IAAPA!

Framework done!

The crew has been pushing hard for the last weeks, welding up the armatures and tying the galvanized lath onto the mountain sections. The welding is now finished at last and tomorrow they will begin applying the first of the fibreglass reinforced concrete and sculpting the rock work. The pieces are absolutely massive and about to get much heavier in  hurry!
