The concrete pour at the Hazelnut Inn went perfectly and it was with pure joy we carefully removed the forms the next day. It took the better part of a full day to remove all of the screws, salvage the good boards and load the scrap pieces into the trailer to take to the bio-recyclers. We then began spreading a thin layer of new gravel onto the driveway to prepare it for the paving stones. With each completed step, the Inn looks better and more complete. Stay tuned for more progress…

The weather was perfect today for lots of outside work at the Hazelnut Inn.

Our crew pretty much polished off the wall between the parking lot and the Imagination Corporation.

We also managed to put in a couple of loads of bark mulch to clean up the flower beds and along our neighbours’ hedge line. Then we filled up the planter beds with soil.

And to top it off, we cleaned out the Copper Crown Suite in preparation for spraying it’s foam insulation.

As soon as the insulation is finished we will be finishing off the theme work in the North Star Suite.

It’s starting to feel like we are in the home stretch…

This morning we stripped the forms from the newly poured sidewalks at the Hazelnut Inn. It took the balance of the day to dismantle all of the pieces and clean the driveway one last time. In the next weeks, we’ll begin laying the paving stones to finish off the driveway. Stay tuned…
