CoCo Key Water Resort

These water parks are attached to existing hotels in various locations in the U.S..  The additions are newly built and unfinished when we arrive.  There is generally no heating or air conditioning in the park while we are working, so the temperature closely matches the weather outdoors.  
The jobs are big.  Lots of painting...lots and lots of painting! Mural painting, set painting, sign painting, color fades, etc.  There are usually 2 artists and typically take about 4 weeks to complete.

Danvers, Ma: Spring~2007  It was so cold at times that our paint froze on the walls and sets.  We eventually got some heat in the building, and things went well.

Omaha, Ne: Summer~2007  It was 85-95 degrees in the building for most the time we were there, which made conditions a little uncomfortable, especially when working on ladders and lifts.  But we adjusted our hours to deal with the heat and everything came along nicely.

Despite these difficulties, the jobs were done on time and looked great when we were finished.  
To view the murals and set work, take a look at the photos in the entries below.
