Our first task of the week was to pull the finished NEB’s wall sections out of the shop. Then, we pulled the new projects inside. One of these is the size 248 shoe for the old lady and all her kids living there. This shoe is giant and measures just under ten feet tall and about twelve feet long. It will be headed to Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Nebraska. Tomorrow, we’ll finish the diamond lath to prepare it for the concrete sculpting later this week.
Washed!
Since it is a statutory holiday, the kids are off school, and the shop is quiet. But it was far too nice a day not to work on Henry’s Jeep/parade float. The first order of business and today’s task was to give it a thorough pressure wash. I was ready to give Henry a hand, but he was ready and (barely) able to handle the considerable back pressure of the big pressure washer. He diligently sprayed every square inch to clean off years of neglect. It is now ready to push into the shop for disassembly, repaint and the installation of a new motor. Henry (and grampa) are counting the minutes until there is room…
Allmost ready to ship
The last of the NEB’s Wall pieces have been ‘baking’ in the shop over the long weekend. On Tuesday morning, when the crew returns, we’ll remove everything from the shop to make room for a new set of projects, including Henry’s parade float vehicle. This is the middle lower section of the wall, one of ten large pieces in all. Next week, we’ll order the window plastic to prepare it for shipping.
