CONSTCTN Vol. VIII, #2 Something Old, and Something New

  Here's what the cafeteria looked like when the plastic tarps were down and we were able to see the stripped floor, i.e. the concrete.  The line down the middle has been painted to match the rest of the concrete, and the floor will remain this way.  Perhaps not esthetic, but practical.  So that's the old.

Another big development on the first floor was the removal
of the plastic tarp in the foyer to reveal that end of the CLC.
More photos will follow as more and more moves are
completed and photographed.  Can you visualize the area in
this photo?






At the other end of the building, in the old library, the work continues in shoring up the ceiling for the next big move in that area.  In the first photo you can see a workman welding one of the several posts, all of which were up by the end of last week.  In the second photo you see how these posts have grasped the beams that support the fourth floor (fortuitous!).  The next shot gives an idea of how these posts are lifted and how the rest of the posts are in waiting for their turns.

   

Today, in the absence of students (no school because of weather predictions), the men were able to break down part of the wall between the old lavatory and the president's old office.  Noisy, as you can imagine, but the men were taking advantage of an opportunity.  No photo available yet, in hopes that your curiosity will draw you back to #3 of Vol. VIII.  We hope it does.
