As we design our complex projects, we also carefully plan how we will lift, transport and reassemble them on their final site. We can’t throw straps over the features, for they would quickly wear through the paint in transit. The Downey’s Farm sign is designed to lift from the top safely. To securely fasten the load to the truck, we fabricated a temporary frame which is bolted to each end of the feature’s heavy steel bottom structure. The driver will throw a 4” strap over these frames with no chance of chafing the feature. This temporary frame will easily and quickly be removed by the customer after the feature is delivered.
Custom lights
Every day we work on one more piece (or eight) for the Copper Crown at the Hazelnut Inn. Today, Peter’s task was to weld up and sculpt the light fixtures for the bathroom. The fixtures will be disassembled tomorrow to apply the faux finishes. The electrician can then install them to finish off one more detail of many.
Into the deep end!
The bathroom and bedroom tile in the Copper Crown Suite of the Hazelnut Inn look better and more complete every day as Mat and Peter continue to lay it down. We threw Matt into the deep end, as it is his first time cutting and laying tile. Almost every piece needs to be custom-fit and cut, with barely any room to maneuver. By the time this project ends, Matt is going to be a pro!
