Late this afternoon, it was time to install the giant chandelier in the Copper Crown Suite of the Hazelnut Inn. The first order of business was to tip it on its edge and then pack it into the suite. We gently hoisted it up to the ceiling with the shop’s chain fall. After temporarily placing it on the scaffold, we removed the chain fall and permanently hooked it to the sturdy ceiling mount, which was braced back onto the roof trusses. Things went smoothly and without a scratch; another milestone was achieved.
Ready for installation
Today, at last, was the day to do the last touch-ups on the Copper Crown’s chandelier and hook up the forklift to take it over to the Hazelnut Inn. The transfer went smoothly and it will sit in the courtyard until tomorrow afternoon. Then we’ll see if our plan to hoist it up into place will work. It is going to be exciting! Stay tuned…
Ready to begin anew
The most fun part of finishing off a bunch of projects is starting a bunch of exciting new ones. As the painting crew diligently works their way to finishing off a shop full of signs and features, I am busy designing files, routing sign faces, and plasma cutting steel components for the next batch. Tomorrow, I’ll continue prepping but it will be only a day or two before the welding and assembly begin once again. Stay tuned…
