Wow! That week sure flew by! I didn't post anything as I've been busy working on the Majestic Theatre lighting project - who knew soldering all those wires would take so long! 😀 So here's my "Big Top" carved pencil, just so you don't get bored. 😀

Sometimes you get going on a project and it takes a lot longer than you planned! This is one of those projects! I'm laying out the new LED lights for the letters at the Majestic Theatre. Each letter gets laid out, then I have to solder all the ends / corners together and at some point - get them mounted. I've almost got the first set laid out.

No fooling - but I'm ALMOST done getting the vinyl off the letters! The vinyl on the north side came off relatively easy - but the west side?? Not so much! 😀
Soon we'll get these back up with new multi-color LED Neon behind them!
Thanks to Art for helping with this part!

I'm scraping the vinyl off the letters from Majestic Theatre marquee. I'm able to re-use them, but need them to be clear (not yellow) so that they show the colored LED neon behind them.

Hope everyone enjoyed #OpeningDay

In between projects, I took the time to work on a friend's home. He put up new drywall, so I went over and added a texture and a paint/glaze finish.
I've done a LOT of faux finishing in my day - always fun to go back to it (in small doses!) 😀

Yesterday I had the absolute honor of meeting Dr J

Yesterday I had the absolute honor of meeting Dr Jane Goodall, who was in Sioux City, Iowa to give a talk. I was asked by her team to bring one my chimps up, so we loaded Seymore into the car and drove up! We had a wonderful chat before her talk, then I took Seymore up to the lobby so he could meet more people.
This was the second time I've heard Dr Goodall talk and she is always inspiring! This time she talked about her life story from inquisitive little girl to international icon.

Seymore is built from recycled paper and cardboard, and his hair is pieces of bicycle tubes.
