CNSTRCTN Vol. IX, #1 ONE MYSTERY SOLVED, OTHERS IN THE WINGS

Memories, like birds, fleeting--one must grasp and hold in heart's hands.

"What is that drilling in the morning before school starts?  That question has been on many minds and several tongues lately.  Nothing like asking the right person--the maintenance man (you understand that the maintenance man is the go-to person for information for all things physical plant-wise).       And so:   the bricks are being removed with a drill (little chance of saving any, using that method of removal ((drilling away)) which is faster, however).  Of course, what it suggests to us is that, with the weather warming up a little, the incomplete wall to the left can be worked on again, continuing with the the cinder blocks which later will be faced with bricks.

 Moving to the inside we see the altar standing as if on an island.  What the photo reveals is how the platforms comprising sanctuary floors are built--with what look like plaster blocks with holes in them (blogger must ask!)  The hope is still that the top of the altar can be saved.
                                                                                                   
              The neat hole in the chapel floor now has what looks to blogger like an anchor fixture for a future post (???).  She must ask!
There has been more work in the old chapel room, but all seems mysterious at present.  Blogger has been told that holes have been drilled into the old library floor.  That means into the chapel ceiling.  Purpose????

It's quite exciting, this living and working in such a place of frequent face changing.  The two major faces getting a lift, however, have been held in a rather stationary position for some weeks now.  But ah, brighter mornings are dawning (we hope).

Stay tuned.  Apologies for last week's absence of a posting.  It happens.
