The other day was hand down one of the best build days that has panned out in a long time. That being said Connor and I obvious have had incredibly productive days working on our new spot in Squamish, but this was the first day we had a group and just put our heads down and got something done so fast. The morning air was crisper than the common #menswear kit I might spec with, and the light in the forest was that low golden winter sun that makes life so easy to look good.
The day kicked off with me asking Eric Lawrenuk to come shoot in Furry Creek, but that was shut down for him wanting to go hike a trail to buff it… So I phoned Ross Measures and he informed me that he was meant to go building with Eric, taking quick advantage of this I called back Eric saying that there’s a build going on with Ross. I was on my way to Eric’s place and Ross swiftly took up the opportunity to carpool with the famous GULLY! Best part of that is Ross was actually running on a faster schedule than Eric and I. Soon as we got up the hill to the spot we got cracking in a hard way roughing out a large berm and moving yards of soil.
It wasn’t long before the Vanderham brothers decided to show up and everything went to hell in a hand basket… Just kidding. Having a crew of six, all on the same building level and all swinging tools getting one vision complete was awesome. I’ve never seen something run that productively without turning into a social event! We wrapped up the day with everything done before dusk even started coming, and everyone decided it was sandwich o’clock.
That was a solid day.
