This week Becké and Hailey Headed down to South Carolina for a hotel convention. It was a long journey but - since we are all rather new to the hotel business - it was a great research trip. They are on their way home now with their suitcases stuffed full of brochures!

The welding on the Copper Crown’s roof pan is finished. The Imagination Corporation’s plasma cutter made quick work of the rails and they look great! I am looking forward to seeing it installed.

Happily, we can start painting its copper patina this week!

The Copper Crown’s main room is surmounted by a french mansard roof. A mansard roof combines a steep pitch with a flat top. And, the top often features a decorative railing. Today we started welding Copper Crown’s roof railing. Each section of the fence is decorated with the suites stylized fleur-de-lis. This same motif will be found above the windows and in various other places around the suite.
