There are now only 100 days until the Open House of the Under Hill Suite of the Hazelnut Inn. Things are coming along quickly, but many details are left to do. Today, it was time to fire up the tractor, gather the hand tools and put in the base gravel for the courtyard paving stones. We took our time to establish the proper grades to ensure there will be no puddles when it rains. Then we raked and tamped it all in place. We’ll let things settle while we place the order for the required pavers, but it won’t be long until this wonderfully private and relaxing space is ready for our guests. Stay tuned…
Sculpted stove
Peter slathered the magic mud onto the little stove armature, and then when it had set the perfect amount, he removed the excess, leaving behind an ideal little stove for the Under Hill Suite. The big decision now is what colour we are going to paint it. Becke, our colour expert, will weigh in to make the perfect decision. Stay tuned…
Shoe
The old lady’s giant shoe for Vala’s Pumpkin Patch took a huge leap forward today as the crew worked together to sculpt the upper leathers and stitching. By quitting time, it was looking fabulous! Tomorrow, they will do it again to finish off the sole and get it ready for the painting to begin after the concrete cures for a few days.
