Day 39 - NEW SIGN!

There was one day, back in December I believe, where I started playing with ideas for the logo and sign design. Today was the day all the planning, design, and hard work came to fruition.

And what a day we've had... Sun, rain, and snow.

The day started with a few finishing touches to the framework. Jed (Concept Signs) arrived and the sun was mostly shining as we unloaded and laid out our game plan. Jed and Mike did the majority of the work on the first half of the sign and I documented the experience with my camera. Unfortunately, Jed had to leave as he had a vacation to start in an unmentionably warm destination.


 

 

 

We had a quick lunch and decided to get right back at it... well, now the weather had turned to rain and quickly turned to big, fat, wet snowflakes. But we persisted.... soaked and chilled to the bone we climbed our scaffolding, drilled and screwed the sign parts into place until everything was done.

Then the sun came out....... but of course... good time to bail Jed!


 





And VOILA!





Now for the signage on the front of the gallery and a bunch of work still to be done on the interior. I plan on staying warm for the rest of the evening and not eating dinner at 9:30 like most nights this week. We have three glorious days ahead of us to plug away on the renovations.

We will be open for May long weekend so if you're in Tobermory stop in and check us out!!!
