The Paddle Wheel Installation is very close to be completed.
It does look already like an actual Paddle boat.
Many visitors are curious about the boat and inquire about tours.
Sorry no can do, but obviously the transformation was a success
because we got their attention.

In a few days I will post some wheel pictures

The Paddle Wheel is in the temporary installation phase.
We had to figure out some stuff. The stepper motor drive is history...
We never even tried it, because a better system came to mind.....
It's very cool, but the credit for the rotation of the wheel,
goes to the crew of Bush's Marina.
Can you guess what makes the wheel go round and round....
Very soon I'll post more Pic's

So....The Stacks are up... the Wheel is turning.
Fall leads into winter, you know the drill.
I made this huge "make-over" my pet project for posting it on plasma spider.
It took well over a year now. I know that some of you you really appreciate
the postst and the effort, Thank you all for now

Once again, the winter in Canada has arrived. I never got the chance to take more pictures or even videos.
It will happen in spring 2014. Our goal for next year is some metal trim work on doors, windows and railings.

Questions or comments are always welcome.

Until than.......Have a safe winter.
