It isn’t often we work past dark but with the grand opening of the Hazelnut Inn now only two days away there are a few last-minute details to take care of.

Fastcut CNC plasma installed
The shiny, new FastCut CNC plasma cutter arrived this morning. We wasted no time unloading it and gently guiding it into our shop. We levelled it, unwrapped the pieces, and assembled the components.

Janis is a tough bargainer and quietly asked me to ‘get the pirate with the parrot’ as her birthday present. I of course was more than happy to oblige. Today the pirate and the parrot came for a look at the setup. They’ll be waiting to greet guests on Saturday as they line up for a look inside the North Star Suite…
