The real brickwork for the Under Hill fireplace is now complete The crew will trowel on a swatch coat of fibreglass reinforced concrete next week and then weld up the faux chimney along with the outside of the wine bottle shaped stove exterior. They will also begin the sculpting of the stone and rock work throughout the garden making it ready for the start of paint the week following. Our hope is by the end of September we can do the deck concrete and also plant all of the perennials, shrubs and trees to give them a head start before next spring. Stay tuned for many exciting changes through this area…
UnderHill garden progress
The Under Hill garden at the Hazelnut Inn is coming along nicely. The welding of the armature is largely complete and the diamond lath is almost all tied into place. The fireplace bricks will be complete tomorrow to allow the final welding of the fireplace armature. Next week we’ll begin sculpting of the concrete at long last! Stay tuned to watch it come together…
Freshening up for fall
The last of this season’s projects have now been safely loaded and sent on their way. This means we have time to do a deep cleaning and organization inside the shop, Outside the painting crew is making great progress on a total repaint of the twenty-year-old shop. It will all feel brand new when we are done - just in time to start work on next year’s projects in mid-September.
