The carpenters arrived first thing this morning to start banging together the forms for the footings for Hazelnut Inn. The site quickly changed as they laid them into place. In the late afternoon the contractor brought a small excavator onsite to dig the lower footings and the three ponds. At this point most of the construction will be on the same elevation but that will quickly change as the concrete is poured and the backfilling and grading begins. The plain side of our house next door will soon be completely hidden from view and the front yard landscapes will be blended together seamlessly. This is going to be a whole lot of fun!
Last four name plaques
Hosting a Sculpting Magic Workshop requires hundreds of hours of time, both before and during the event. Rather than be rushed at the last minute, we do as much as possible far in advance. Today we routed the last of the name plaques for our guests. They will go into the painting queue and over the next few weeks and months will sport an imaginative paint scheme. I look forward to presenting them to our guests as they arrive.
Six more
Six more name plaques are now carved for the Sculpting Magic Workshop to be held in October. Some attendees I know well from previous encounters. Others we will meet for the first time when they arrive at our studio. I have no doubt that their personalities will vary as much as the name plaques we are creating. There new now only four more name plaques to create.
