The shop has been quiet for the last weeks as I recovered from my surgery. That ends bright and early tomorrow as we begin production on a brand new project - the second phase of the entry facade of NEB’s Fun World in Oshawa, Ontario. Last year, we prefabricated the twenty sections of the large front wall of the facade. It measured fifty-three feet wide when it was assembled onsite. This west side of the wall will measure about forty feet wide and almost thirty feet tall at its highest when it is assembled next year. We will build the wall in twelve sections. As with the previous phase, we will begin the project by welding up the structural steel frames and then the pencil rod armatures. Diamond lath will follow, followed by the sculpting process in the New Year. It is going to be a fun project! Stay tuned…
Under the hill
The exterior of the Under Hill suite of the Hazelnut Inn is now complete, save for the landscaping. The building is magical, with a lush green roof and a giant tree overhead. The plantings done earlier this summer have taken well and are quickly maturing. The inside finishing is well underway and will proceed over the next weeks, and it won’t be long until we begin painting and detailing every square inch. In anticipation of its completion, guests can book a room next year. For information, go to hazelnutinn.com
Garden delight
I was out for a little stroll this afternoon and popped into the Under Hill garden to look around and enjoy the space. It looks amazing from every angle. This week, we’ll place the soil and begin the planting to give the plants a chance to root before the growing season in spring. This area is going to change dramatically and instantly come to life as we do so. Stay tuned…
