As we worked on the final pieces for this year's project for NEBs in Oshawa, Ontario I was reminded of the work we did last year. It was an entire new look for the 52 bowling lanes - more than 400 lineal feet of theme work in all. We are still ver proud of that project! We look forward to seeing all that work combined with the new pub that is just behind the lanes. It is going to be pretty spectacular! The crew there are hard at work getting all the other pieces of the project assembled.
Tomorrow is moving day!
The shop has been very full of large pieces since the the building of the ship began. Since we needed to lift assemblies into place as we fabricated them the ship needed to be built under the lift beam which is in front of the giant door. This meant we have not been able to move any finished pieces until the ship structure is complete. Tomorrow that will happen and the structural engineer will arrive to inspect it. Then we can disassemble the ship and move it out of the shop. All the other large complete pieces will quickly follow. Then the shop will get a sweep from end to end before we move the ship and some smaller pieces back in for further finish work. At that stage we will be able to walk in a straight line through the shop once more without winding our way between the pieces. Tomorrow is moving day!
Four wheeling fun
Our grandkids, Juniper and little brother Henry visit our place often. Henry is still too little to play out in the yard much but he's growing up fast. They definitely need a wagon for me to pull them around in and ordinary wouldn't do. I scrounged through our boneyard and came up with four wheels and some springs from an old golf cart. I could make the rest. Today I finished the basic frame of the little four wheeler buggy. It will be a little jacked up hot rod. That way I don't have to bend over to push the kids as they ride the wagon. That will make it a whole lot easier on my back. :)
