With each passing day the Hazelnut Inn comes a little closer to the final form which we envisioned from the beginning. The carpenters have now finished sheeting the roof on the North Star suite. That clears the way for our crew to move safely below. We are busy stapling on the weather barrier and lath on the walls in preparation for the fancy carved plaster work. The waterproofing is complete on the roof of the Underhill and the tree is extended down to the roofline. That clears the way for the roof landscaping next week. The crane, soil and sod are booked for Tuesday morning and the roof is about to get green!
New lid
When we were showing at the IAAPA EXPO in Orlando a few weeks ago our good friend Marc dropped by our booth. Later he came by with his family. We discovered his two boys were into drawing which I encouraged as best I could. Marc took notice of the hat I was wearing which was embroidered with a well known mouse. He made a passing comment to his boys that they needed to fix that. Today, a parcel arrived at our door all the way from Florida. Inside was a shiny new hat featuring the logo of the company Marc works for. THANKS! I’ll wear it with pride. :)
Big screw
The gold mole for Loco Landing Adventure Park took form today as the crew laid on the concrete mud and then sculpted in the detail. It looks (as intended) as if it has drilled through miles of tough rock in the quest for gold. Some rubble is still on the giant screw and larger stones which we sculpted as separate pieces last week will be strewn around on the golf green. After the gold mole cures over the weekend we will begin laying on the colour.
