Tenant sign going in...

This is what the monument at The Veranda looked like today. Trying to fit the big tenant box in there on both sides. Not necessarily as easy as it looks. Reverse channel letters are going on the faces tomorrow. Can't WAIT to see those at night...stay tuned for more photos.

Copper Creek entrance installed

Here's another cool project! The letters have been installed on the monument at the entrance wall to the Copper Creek community in Forsyth County. The monument will be back-filled and planted with shrubs and trees (Japanese maples!) within the next couple of weeks.

Fence me in....

The sun was in our eyes but that was OK on this cold and windy morning! The final part of the fence is being installed and painted at The Veranda. Trees are being planted and benches are being put into place. We still can't wait for tomorrow...The official signage is being installed on the tower!

Here's another view of The Veranda at night. The cupola is now lit. Trees and shrubs have been delivered and are being planted today. We hear reports that it looks GREAT out there with the trees. Still on schedule to install the signage at the entrance tower on Thursday. You can bet we’ll have some photos of that!

Pretty exciting stuff today! The letters for The Veranda are almost done! We visited the shop today where they are being made. The top photo is, of course, just the aluminum cut-outs. The second photo is of the returns. This is a pretty labor-intensive process. They bend each of these returns by hand and then they have to weld them on to the front of the letter. Each letter takes about 2 hours to complete. The bottom photo is a finished letter (sans paint). All of this will be completed and installed by next Thursday.

The Veranda at night...

OK -- actually, this is The Veranda in the early morning -- thanks to James. Pretty cool. The cupola will be lit, too. We'll try to post another one once all the lights are installed.

We’re inSPIREd!

Get it?? This photo just in....The spire is done at The Veranda! The decorative brick planter walls are now finished. We're almost ready for plantings! The sign company is busy getting the signage done for the tower...we'll have a photo of that within the next day or two. Stay tuned...
