At first glance, you may think, "ho-hum", but dear reader, there are no such things in at this site (even if the workman mentioned last week did casually raise the fallen end of the platform you see in this photo. More about that later.) Observe, please, the metal canopy from the faculty room door--down. Next notice the row of holes above the windows. At first blogger thought she remembered some vents there, but there are too many holes. Maintenance thinks they may be for trusses for holding up the eventual roof. Blogger thinks that sounds right. Can you figure out what the red is from on the floor?
Moving across the floor of the new addition, we can see that part of the north
wall is getting up there. About the platform mentioned above which is just to the left of the one you see here--you see it at the bottom right of the photo. That means the platform so visible has been raised quite a bit to accommodate the continued laying of the blocks from the other side of the wall. Unfortunately, blogger missed the actual work from that side of the wall, but could see from the darkness of the mortar what had been laid in the time she missed (about one morning). Note the height of the wall from angle in this next photo (also the height of the platform).
Around the corner of chapel you can see how far the workman has removed the lawn--that gives us a hint of coming attractions. Blogger remembers the tree that used to be in this corner, the one in which she saw a cedar waxwing dropping by for a few berries before continuing its migration south for the summer. Blogger recorded in her bird book that it was May 13, 1978. A neat memory.
Next time, blogger hopes to be able to show you some inside job sites. It takes a bit of doing, however, but there may be a way. Stay tuned.
