While our crew labours on all of the visual elements for the Hazelnut Inn other craftsmen are busy onsite, working hard on the infrastructure of the building. Today the foam insulation was laid on the floors and the heating pipes were carefully arranged and tied to the steel grid. We selected Richard's Plumbing for the task as they did a wonderful job when we built our house a few years ago. The in-floor hot water heat in the tiled floors will be wonderful on bare feet in the winter months, one of the many small luxuries we will afford our guests!
An uplifting day!
Today was a big day for the Hazelnut Inn project. The first four prefabricated pieces was craned into place. The large assemblies were hooked up, one by one and gently lifted into place. John Wishlow, our favourite crane guy, was awesome at the controls of his rig. Slow and steady ruled the day. As each piece settled into it's place we made sure everything was level and then welded or bolted it into place. There was a lot of cutting and fitting of braces and welding to make things secure and permanent. The four pieces took about six and a half hours to install. Everything went in without a scratch. It was an uplifting day!
Six weeks to the workshop!
The Sculpting Magic workshop is now only six weeks distant. We are hearing lots of excitement from those signed up. When we aren't busy with some project in the shop we sneak time away to work on preparations for the workshop. We'll be doing all different projects this go around and the format will be different as well. The theme of the workshop will be 'TELLING A STORY VISUALLY'.
