The outside of the Hazelnut Inn is almost all buttoned up and the Tyvek wrap mostly in place. The galvanized plaster mesh is next. On the concrete walls we are beginning the welding of the pencil rod frames to shape the walls in those areas. The building is quickly getting to be its final shape. Pretty soon the ‘ordinary work will be done and we can move on to the fancy stuff. We are doing our best to finish the high parts of the building so we can finish with the man lift and send it on its way. lift. It’s going to be fun!
Working under cover
The boys were working under cover today (sort of) as they installed the teamwork under the eaves of the North Star tower of the Hazelnut Inn. It was definitely tricky work. It took three guys (all weathered in of course) to do the task. Two held the piece in place while the third quickly fastened it into place. The tricky part was fitting into the lift basket. It is amazing how much better the tower looks with the detailed pieces in place! Tomorrow, the weather is forecast to improve some which will make the last pieces a little easier to install. I can hardly wait to see it all done! Stay tuned…
Home sweet home
The more I travel the more I love to come home when we are done. I thoroughly enjoy seeing beautiful scenery wherever we go and every place is enjoyable. But inevitably as we leave the airport on our return the air smells so good, and the backdrop of the mountains behind the city is breathtaking. Out in the valley where we live, far from the city, the mountain behind our house puts always puts on an extra special show as the sun sets to welcome us home. I will never tire of it.
