Big goal realized!

This past summer, a simple project of tearing out an overgrown hedge and pressure washing our shop quickly morphed into a repair and repaint of the entire front of the twenty-year-old building. With a busy schedule, including the projects inside the shop and the outside work in the garden of the Under Hill suite at the Hazelnut Inn, it was a tall order before the cooler fall temperatures caught up with us. This past week, Lainey, Julianne and Becke applied the last of the glazes to the trim. There are a few more painting blends on the plaster infill panels to do next week, but the hard part is now behind us. The shop looks better than it has been for over a decade, thanks to the dedicated efforts and skill of our crew. We are grateful!

First wood

The hand-sculpted concrete work continues at a steady pace in the Under Hill suite of the Hazelnut Inn. The sculpting crew decided to take a break from the overhead work to do a little vertical wood. Matt & Peter sculpted a portion of the wood-grained wainscoting and the curved beam over the bathroom door. It is amazing how big a visual difference three small sections of ‘wood’ make. Although there is still far to go things are beginning to come together. Stay tuned…
