As we continue to work on the exterior of the inn we decided to bring our model a little closer to the site to do a quick comparison. All in all, we are pleased with the results so far!

The Fenced Inn

Summer is rapidly approaching here in BC and so it is time to take down our temporary construction fencing and install something a little more permanent. We have opted to use the same style fence as our house. The two front yards will meld into one another and the fence will to provide some additional continuity.

The Caryatid

The North Star’s statuary is coming along nicely these days. This caryatid will be mounted high on the wall. She will look down on our guests as they enter the suite.

Copper Crown Entry Gate

Each time a big piece is moved into position the vision we hold in our heads becomes ever clearer. Today it was the Copper Crown’s gate structure that was set in place. It instantly defined the garden and made the structure much more castle like. The rest of the prefabricated pieces will soon complete the picture.
