We are currently in the middle of the smallest project we tackled this year. It is a giant apple that will be attached to a barn in Ohio. The apple measures 38” x 42” by about 26” tall. The apple is to look like it has been shot from a cannon and stuck in the barn wall. We fabricated the armature on a steel plate and then mounted it to a piece of plywood, which was attached to a pallet for shipping. When we complete the apple, we’ll build a sturdy box around it to protect it on the journey to Ohio. Stay tuned…

Noa, Matt’s daughter came a few minutes before quitting time and announced she had her working clothes on and was eager to help. We put her to work immediately. She and Matt took care of the bolts fastening the water tank to the fabrication frame. As always there were lots of questions and she quickly got into the swing of things. A good time was had by all.
Ready to ship
The last of the signs and features, soon to be on their way to Vala’s Pumpkin Patch, were combined and mounted to its custom pallet this afternoon. Today’s consolidation involved lifting the water tower base over the treasure chest and bolting it to the pallet. Tomorrow morning, we’ll weld up a brace and tie-down structure for the Tater Twisters sign. making it ready to load. This has been a very fun proje4ct and I look forward to seeing the pieces in place over the next few weeks. Stay tuned…
