Coming Soon...

So with my time being up in Idaho, I'm gonna be moving on to the next job. But if you guys are interested in keeping up with Gold Coin Lane, Carol might start a blog to continue documenting the building process. I'll post the link here when she starts it.

But if your interested in my work, theatrical sets, or just me in general, then check out the new blog I'm doing for my work building scenery for plays.

End of Day Shots: Last Day

So my last day in Idaho, and what am I doing? Working, of course. Thought I'd throw up some pics of where projects stand as I make my move back to Colorado.

The water tower workers are working on a little addition to the base. This will be a deck for for something, rumors say hot tub...

Remember way back at the beginning when we poured this wall. Here it is as I'm leaving. The mason will keep chipping away.

Just barely reached the end of my project. With a little help from a professional, the roof didn't turn out too bad.

...And as for the water wheel, well, she's still spinning.

Looking back, I got to do some amazing things with my time here. I've definitely left a mark on the place and, if Jon has his way, that mark will be around for the next hundred years. I hope you enjoyed the pics as much as I liked building the things in them.

End of Day Shots: Day Fifty-Six

So I'm on my last days here. I've been given a final project for the time while the others keep plugging away at the water tower and the flow control for the waterwheel.

My project has been to shake the roof on the shower. Easier said then done, I've found. But It should look pretty cool when it's done.

Les and Ben have been baring the sun on the water tower. It's ready for the water tank to be installed.

It's been built to withstand a earthquake. With all the triangles in this guy, I'm prepared to believe it.

Pete's been busy with Joe and Jon putting the creek together that will flow under the wheel. I guess I won't get to see it completed til the wedding.

Anyways, I probably got one more post in me and then I'll say goodbye to Gold Coin Lane. But I might convince Carol to continue on posting, and I think I'll start a new one for my work in the theater. More on that next post.

July 4th

So I kept hearing about the big 4th of July parade in the bay when I got here, but no one could quite put it into words. Neither can I, so here are some pics. Happy Birthday America from Idaho.

What did I do for the 4th? Why I grew a bushy mustache and got me a farmer's tan, what else?

Thanks to Jon for the pics

Full Circle

Remember at the beginning of this blog I said I'd post more Grand Canyon pics when Johnny Blaze got them to me. Well, he just got them to me. So as the summer comes to close the blog comes full circle.

Actually, before we get to that, first we must celebrate Rachel's big achievement. On this past weekends trip to Seattle, she turned over the big 100K. Though I've only been with her for a year of her travels, she's handled the road like a pro. Here's to the next 100K.

These pictures just sorta remind me how pictures can't capture the grand canyon.

As promised, John took pictures of my back to trade with mine of his.

Again, as cool and happy as I look here, I looked exhausted and panicked on the way up.
