Falvey adds that the baseball club is already getting bookings for the space for wedding receptions and corporate events.
Not that the job ended with the start of this year’s baseball season. Also installed in time for opening day was a full-sized batter’s box made of porcelain tiles with a home plate of white Carrara marble, and a pitcher’s mound of carpet the proper 60’6” away.
“The pitcher’s mound didn’t pop that much, in late June we went out and installed a pitcher’s rubber of white Carrara with Schluter® strips,” says Cottrell. “That’s helped highlight it a little more.”
The company is still waterjet cutting the RocHenge Conference Center logo for a wall-hanging that went on the back burner in light of other work in the company’s backshop.
Even without those little touches, though, Cottrell believes the job – and the sponsorship – is a real success.
“Now that it’s done, it’s just phenomenal,” he concludes. “This really is a great showcase for us.” Batter up!
