The Official 4th ToO Birthday Present Construction Thread

Yes, I know it's still two months away...

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Are you excited? Is this cool?

Yes! Yes!

I think he is building Blackgaards Castle despite what he said and it looked like the start of a union jack except he could not decide what colour to use as the base coat.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Update!
We have moved the tarps, as you can see, and now the skilled spray machine operator is spraying a different color. If you look closely, you can see that he's changed where the hose connects between the truck and trailer.

And we have an update! The very skilled sprayer is now using a very precision spray nozzle, and he is writing some words you should be able to figure out. Since we don't need quite as much as for the other colors, they're towing a little tank trailer behind the sprayer truck.

Well, that sprayer had better work as much as possible to earn that $1000 he's getting for this single 6 day job.

Anyway, UPDATE! We've re-hung the tarps, workers are putting up some scaffolding towers, and the contractor is directing the crane, while I make arrangements for the celebration.

And people can please post!

I hope the smileys have a different economy than ours, 'cause $1000 for 6 days is pretty cheap. (well, depending on how long he works per day).

Anyway, I like your phone. \:D/

It rained on some days I didn't take pictures. ;)

Last year I did one picture with rain, but I didn't feel like doing many special effects this year.


UPDATEfor people to reply to*cough*
We are almost done with the building and the preparations are underway for the celebration! Guess who that guy I'm shaking hands with is. It's Steven Curtis Chapman! Yes! He's back again to do us a little concert on April 1st! :D

An SCC concert is almost as cool as having Shadowpaw visit us! \:D/ How fun! Things are looking good, Dan. :D

I was thinking the same thing. But at least it gives a cool contrast to the pictures where they are working during the day.

AN UPDATE!
SCC and his band are unpacking their stuff and some workers are putting up some sort of girders or trusses. :-k

And don't complain about OHSA violations with the smiley on the ladder that's on the scissors lift.

We have got a lot of progress in the celebration preparation. Those girers/trusses are now going to support a giant screen, which, as you can see, is being held up by three smilies, one of which is very strong. It would appear that another band has arrived, for you people who prefer heavy metal. \:D/ And it looks like the speakers are arriving.
