Even then, I only just got done in time. I worked pretty steadily through the weekend. Monday I put in over 6 hours and Tuesday, the day I had to deliver it, I worked almost 10 hours, right up to the delivery deadline of 5:00. Then I had a few more hours of driving up to Dubuque and installing it. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Putting on the finishing touches\" src=\"http:\/\/www.butchieboy.info\/DSCN0720Web.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"825\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here I am in the frantic rush to finish.<\/p>\n<p>By the time we finally got it installed it was too dark to take a good picture. I will take one when they have the opening reception and post it then. It is scheduled for October 4th.<\/p>\n<p>I want to thank Tom Newport who volunteered the use of his crane and trailer to help me take the piece up to Dubuque and install it. Also, Steve Piper who helped with the transport and installation. Karen did a great job documenting the process.<\/p>\n<p>After the installation we went to an art show that Tom was participating in and then out for dinner and a couple of drinks. Great time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was supposed to have the sculpture completed by Friday, September 14, but when I heard that one of the other sculptors wasn&#8217;t going to be done till the early part of this week, I told them I would take &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/butchieboy.info\/blog\/2007\/09\/20\/viracocha-project-complete\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"1","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sculpture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/butchieboy.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/butchieboy.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/butchieboy.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/butchieboy.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/butchieboy.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/butchieboy.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/butchieboy.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/butchieboy.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/butchieboy.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
