It’s been six very long years, to the day, since we publicly showcased the first concepts for the Hazelnut Inn project. The reasons for the lengthy construction schedule are many as this is a complicated project, quite unlike any other. The drawing of the blueprints and engineered drawings along with all of the required approvals and permitting took many months, followed by the basic land shaping and the installation of the underground services. It took another year to build the basic supporting structure before we could seriously start the theme work. The installation of all of the plumbing, ventilation, cooling/heating, electrical, fire suppression and other systems had to happen in a logical order and all took quite some time. The pandemic also played a large role in how fast all of this support work could feasibly be completed. Our specialty theme work always had to take a backseat to our regular customer’s projects. The result is a fanciful building that appears finished from the outside, complete with beautiful landscaping. We are hard at work on the interior, which will be every bit as creative and imaginative as the exterior, and it is coming along nicely. It is our sincere hope to finish the first suite, the North Star, and welcome our first guests soon. Interior theme work on the second suite, the Under Hill, will then commence in earnest, followed by the third, the Copper Crown, in its time. Stay tuned for regular progress reports…
