Wondrous and Strange

Ok.  New design here for some end tables...

The idea that I had in my head was that the tops might emerge from the surface like a mushroom, and that the mushroom might be in high contrast.  Hence the antique timbers are paired with the stainless steel/glass mushroom.

The timbers came from Dankin.  I had them leftover from a previous renovation.

Feet were let out of the bottoms.

The glass is sandwiched between two custom made stainless steel parts: a washer and a cap nut.

Practically begging to have a drink set on them!

Ahhh.  Much better, thank you!

Canada Day 2014

First time in the parade for Jacobson Construction!

Check out our float:

I built a pergola on top of a standard trike from Wike, which by the way, is a delightful way to travel.

Here we are before the parade started.  Also thanks to CCI for the excellent signage.

We had a great time! Well, my daughter was somewhat miserable, but in her defense I think she was a bit under the weather:)  My son fell asleep.  How do you fall asleep in the middle of a parade?

But we had a great time!

Happy Canada Day!

Company Swag

Does anybody really want a thermos with my company logo on it?

Or a travel mug? Or a hat or pen?

No!

But everybody wants one of these!

This spring we decided to thank our clients in a different sort of way.  The two silver maple trees in my front yard were tapped and produced about 47 litres of sap.  From this, we got about 1 litre of syrup:)

Well, it's not lucrative, but it was fun!
