RNVTNS VOL. VI, #2 East End Activity

Memories like birds, fleeting--they must be grasped and held in heart's hand.

East end?  Isn't that chapel?  Yes, but mostly de-struction instead of con-struction.  Eu, that doesn't sound so good.  But think of it this way: some things must be removed in order to make way for
the new and/or to be moved to the new.

   So here you have it.  Can you tell where in the chapel it is?  Blogger thinks most will know.  We all wondered what the task would look like in the doing, so the two photos should give us all a good idea.

The other big move at the chapel end is the pouring of cement for the new entrance and an additional space that still holds some mystery (until blogger can steal a look at the plans for Phase 2.)

  Looking out a counselor's office window gave blogger a perfect position to take a few photos that show how careful the finishers of the cementing must be.  Note that the man on the right of the second photo is balancing himself on the narrow strip of cement between the elevator shaft and the newly laid cement immediately to his right, in order to do the finishing of the other end of the newly laid cement (Thursday morning).  Pretty tricky.


Any activity at the west end?  A little bit that blogger could observe, but which she is rather sure is only that--a little bit of what really transpired there.  The fork lifter told blogger that the workmen are getting ready to do more to the roof (at least that's what she got out of what he said--he speaks professional!)



Blogger finally got down to the Art Department to photograph some of the new equipment down there.  Oh, to be an art student again and work in the department now!  The sinks are not new to you perhaps, having appeared in an earlier posting, but here you see them in all their glory, i.e. being used.  New drawing boards--pretty nifty; and good storage space--a dream come true.

                                                                 .
So dreams come true all over the place here.  Check in next week for the further adventures of...
                                                           RNVTNS.    

P.S.  A friend called blogger attention to the fact that VOL. V,  #2 was missing.  It was sitting in "draft" alas, but wasn't cold yet.  So the viewer can backtrack and see what blogger forgot to publish.  Oops!
