The View From Our Window
We had breakfast at our local pancake house this morning. You've been there before (or someplace like it) they always have an activity sheet and some crayons for the kids.
So, Juniper is happily drawing away while we wait for our pancakes. Then she looks right at Hailey and exclaims "I'm painting a sign!" Well, it's not every day a Sawatzky paints her first sign, so I made sure to snap a picture for posterity.
I think you will agree that her work shows great promise!
It is very exciting to get our first glimpse of the concrete walls of the Hazelnut Inn. For the last couple of weeks we've been looking at the concrete forms with a maze of bracing, imagining where the windows and doors were located, based on the model and plans. Now as the forms are removed everything is becoming real at last. The first room to be revealed is the storage and mechanical room which won't be accessible to our guests. The North Star suite will be above this area. The garden gate opening is now visible and the ship's hull will be mounted to the top of this wall in the coming week.
The cabin for the Hazelnut Inn ship is coming along nicely with the concrete sculpting done save for around the windows which are due later this week. The giant hazelnut and ribbon under the window look very cool! The painting has now begun and the race is on for completion prior to lifting which will be in about ten days.
