Ten years ago we designed and worked on the Fox and Hounds Pub and Restaurant, helping to transform it into a fully themed establishment. Countless guests have enjoyed the ambiance since. Recently, the owners have begun a repaint of the exterior (see how faded the yellow exterior paint had become below). We were called to spruce up the signs and touch up the interior theme work where needed as well. Today, I donned my safety harness and climbed into the man basket of the lift to do the sign. It was in remarkably good shape considering it was on the south wall and out in the weather for the last ten years.The fox and banner were still totally presentable and only the British flag background and bottom blue banner needed repainting. Two quick coats of paint made them look as new once more. Tomorrow I’ll do the front entrance sign on the other side of the building. Inside most of our work is still just fine, with the exception of some bumps and scrapes on the trim and door jambs. I patched a couple of small holes in the drywall and Becke is doing the touchups, skillfully blending the new paint into the old where necessary. In less than four days we will make our work look like it did ten years ago when it was new. That is a testament to the quality of the work we did back then as well of the loving care the owners continually lavish on this fine establishment.
