Work has begun in earnest on the Hazelnut Inn project. The first piece is the power tower which will sit on a front corner of the property. The electrical power, and telecommunication lines will go to this point overhead and then through the tower and underground from this point. The required meter bases and access boxes will be cleverly hidden within the theme work. The twenty foot tall, engineered structure is being built in three sections and will be assembled onsite as soon as the eight foot tall concrete foundation is poured. Except for a small joining section at the bottom edge, the entire structure will be painted and finished prior to installation. The picture of the tower as a scale model below shows how the pieces will appear on completion.
A quick dose of inspiration
I got up extra early this morning so I could spend a little bit of time in Disney's Animal Kingdom before I headed off to the airport for the long journey home. My focus was on the new land of Pandora. I had no time to do any of the attractions but it did not matter for there are so many great details to absorb at every turn. Although my visit was brief, the inspiration was a plenty.
Thanks for the honour!
I'm honoured and pleased to announce that our entry for the Sign Invitational garnered the most votes at the International Sign Association EXPO in Orlando this year. I know that each of the competitors hopes that our presence there inspired more creative work in the industry. There was certainly a lot of interest shown in the three days of the show. I thoroughly enjoyed spending three days with all the creative folks involved. THANKS!
