Dan and Janis are headed off on a little trip this week. They left early yesterday morning and of course there were a handful of last minute preparations to make before they left. Janis had a number of errands for Dan and Dan willingly accepted each one but somehow he always seemed to get waylaid somewhere along the way. For instance; the bed needed making and (he was on his way to do it) but by the time he made down the hallway little Henry had climbed into his toy car and needed a push and they both ended up in the kitchen. And when it came time to put the bags in the car Dan dutifully rolled the suitcases outside but before he could pop them into the trunk he was magically transported to the property next door and thirty feet in the air! I’m not sure where the suitcases are but I suppose we can always blame the airline if they don’t end up at the baggage claim. :)
Beautiful roof!
This morning I took a ride up in the snorkel lift to et a bird’s eye view of the Hazelnut Inn. The colourful roof is complete save for the ridge caps on the front portion of the Copper Crown suite and looks fabulous! The rare diamond shingles were a great choice and well worth the effort to install by the Howie’s Roofing crew. Our crew was going to get back to installing the weatherproof wrap, furring strips and lath with the man lift now free. They will be installing the windows as well over the next days bringing the building closer to lockup.
Tons of tower
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.
