What's next?

Life has changed. The job I’ve been doing for the last 30+ years has come to a stand still. Will it come back? I have no way of knowing. Before, and in the beginning of making products for Flourish Company, I made what I refer to as “soft walls”. I enclosed decks of restaurants and porches of private homes with weatherproof fabrics. Often times integrating DPC which is clear, like a jeep window. As the work for Flourish became more time consuming I had to give up soft wall enclosures. I turned down many jobs. I hated to, because I enjoyed the work. The only way I could make the enclosures was to make them on the weekends. It became too much. Now, I have the time and am willing.

These are photos of an enclosure at Chelsea’s in Eureka Springs. I did this years ago.

This is an up and downstairs enclosure at the New Delhi Cafe, also in Eureka Springs.

This is the lounge at Sparky’s Roadside Cafe in Eureka Springs. These photos are of the first time I did it. I’ve done it another time since and soon will be doing it for the third time. Each time I learn and the product improves.

Here is the Sparky’ back deck enclosure we just installed. The first two photos are of the action shots of the walls being installed. The last picture is of the completed walls in the down position. The walls are divided in sections with zippers. These wall are almost 12’ tall. A rope/pulley system is used to raise and lower them.
