Large structures always dominate the working space in the Imagination Corporation shop, making it hard to walk from one end to the other without carefully picking a winding path between them. That certainly describes the shop these days! The Copper Crown castle tower and it’s roof are the two largest pieces. They are almost ready for the spray insulation which will be done shortly. Then we’ll finish the interiors of both pieces and put the shingles on the roof. That will make them ready to lift into place, hopefully by the end of the month. The back of the shop (behind the large tower bits) is just as full with a bunch of pieces which will soon be bound for Penticton.
One more day
In one more day the Hazelnut Inn will have a complete roof over it at last. The hard working crew of Howie’s Roofing is doing a fabulous job. This is truly no ordinary roof for most of the shingles have to be custom trimmed to fit around the tapered towers. The North Star roof had square shingles which were tricky enough but the Copper Crown castle sports diamond shaped beauties which proved to be much more challenging. Even on the bigger flatter areas it is tricky with 24/12 slopes, endless angles and many different custom flashings. After this roof I suspect Howie and his crew will be glad to tackle something a little more normal once again.
Hear no evil
Little Henry will turn one year old in a week or so. He’s been walking for two months and now is running at full speed - generally towards trouble. He’s testing every limit and boundary regularly, and is into everything he can reach which gets a little higher and every day. He’s a good natured kid, quick to laugh and he loves to tease. I’ve heard some say he takes after his grampa in many ways… which is a good thing I believe. Both Henry and I hear no evil. :)
