Today we sculpted the gargoyle dragon which is tucked under the Copper Crown’s smaller tower. Tomorrow, we will finish up the plaster on the tower and it will be ready to crane into place next Wednesday.
The Avallana now has windows! We are looking forward to seeing the ship all together!
We have installed several more pieces including the power tower roof and the stone elephant head. It is very exciting to see splashes of colour on the work site!
It has been a very busy week here at the Hazelnut Inn. Our framers, Span Builders have been building the shoring that will hold the suspended slabs while they are poured and for the following month while the concrete cures.
The shoring needs to be very strong and also carefully integrated with the themed pieces we have already installed. It is exacting work where the slabs meet our themed pieces but Rob and the boys are doing a good job - at least “it’s good enough for concrete” :)
We live in a rain forest… and it rains here… a lot.
So our power tower filled - with all its delicate electrical doodads - definitely needs a roof! Today we finished off the tower roof’s brass weathervane (complete with a pair of elephants just for fun). Tomorrow we will lift it into place atop our “telephone pole.” I can hardly wait!
