North Star magic

The shop is now empty and clean in preparation for a large and exciting project to be started this coming week. We’ll begin cutting and welding the first of forty large steel structural frames tomorrow morning. While we begin that work the painting crew is over at the Hazelnut Inn going full blast in the North Star suite. All the ceiling and wall surfaces are now primed with the second, blended coat well underway in many areas. The maze of scaffolds and very high ceilings makes it difficult to get a good picture but by using the wide-angle setting I managed this shot to give readers a glimpse of the magic that is unfolding. We hope to have the large scaffold disassembled in the next day or two which will open things up a great deal. Stay tuned for much more…
