I moved the Hazelnut Inn castle tower by myself today (using the tractor). The swivel wheels on the dolly made it a bit tricky as the long piece tended to steer wherever it wished, but slow and easy was the order of the day and I got it outside into the parking lot without mishap. The tower is now ready to lift into place on Wednesday along with the giant sections of the ship. We’ll use the entire crew to steer when we pull it onto the road and over to the property next door.
Countdown to the workshop
The workshop was a very busy place today. The last of the paying projects were being finished and workshop preparations were in full gear. The name plaques for our guests are in the final stages of the painting and glazing process. It is a long weekend in Canada as we celebrate our Thanksgiving holiday and we have a lot to be thankful for! The shop will be quiet on Monday. Tuesday we’ll go into overdrive as we prepare for our workshop guests. Friday morning we begin the first session and the entire crew is excited to welcome folks from across North America!!
The Avellana
The name scroll for the Avellana was fastened in place today, the last job before it is ready to hoist into place next week. Avellana is of course is Spanish to hazelnut, a subtle nod to the name Hazelnut Inn.
