Opportunity to grow at 5 rivers show

The show at 5 rivers was outstanding.
The participation was more than I could have ever expected.
The sense of community filled the air with the sound of music harmony and good cheer.
All ages interacted.
The Bird project was amazing-!!!
The Sculpture experience for most was a first.
First participants chose a pre – cut & drilled feather.
Second participants decorated with paint in any fashion chosen.
There were many ideas and words like- Peace, Love, Harmony.
And last but not least I would help to fasten by rivet gun & rivet the feather in the choice of position to the structure. I built with pre-drilled holes, last week.
What a grand time!
It was a long day and the show will be up for a month!
Thank You all for a wonderful day!
A day of community with out computers. Interaction the old way with laughter and eye-to-eye contact.

Building a Bridge on Lake George NY

Building a Bridge on Lake George at this time of year is a treat.
The atmosphere is to die for and the visuals change continually.
The water, birds, vegetation, peace and quiet are also of notable account.
On this project we are sub contractors for Elite Docks (Frank & Frank Jr.).
The Elite Dock Boys are re-vamping the dock system and our job is to cut, weld, fabricate, leveling the bridge structure made some time in the 70”s. Over time has sunk and shifted but soon it will be renewed. Safe for the Homeowner to enjoy for many years to come.
Thanks! -Frank you have the best office in the world!
