CNSTRCTN Vol. X, #2 One WOW Week

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

Where to begin?  Blogger was out from Monday to
Thursday of the week and was very eager to see what
had been accomplished in her absence.  First, what
happened inside the new CLC.  Space divisions--------->
What you are seeing most directly is what used to be the lavatory and the president's office spaces.  To the right of the photo, you can see the newer part with the outside wall of the faculty room.  This area is part of the newly constructed and is under roof for a long time, as you may remember.  Work in the CLC is still to be done, obviously, but ever now and then a new task appears in the offing.  This drill is ready to put a needed hole through to the basement.
       

Exciting things were happening down at the chapel end.  On Friday, blogger got an email message that the rest of the outside wall of the original chapel was to come down, starting around 5:30am on Saturday.  And so it did.  Blogger was out around 6:30 to record the action.  In the first picture you see the tool that was used for the deed.  It worked like a giant woodpecker.  In the second photo, your looking at the top of the operation, and the front loader to the right ready to gather and dump elsewhere the falling debris.  (Actually, by the time blogger got there, the wall on the other side had already been downed.

 







         

                                        

When that whole section to the edge of the building was complete, the workmen stopped to relocate a bit.  The tool was not to nap for long, however.
 By 9:30am, it was busy in the area to the right of chapel (looking at the north side of the building), creating a new opening for a  passageway into the building, the vestibule area on the first floor, and into the next level up (1 1/2 floor).  You will have to see the final work to understand what is being said here, blogger thinks.

At any rate, the next photos show that work, and how exact the operator can be with the tool. 

Finally, while we're at the chapel end, we were delighted to see that the top of the marble altar in the old chapel could be rescued for use in the new extended chapel.  It now rests in the garage you pass when you come down the hill to the school.

                       

Dusty, but resting easy. 

With the weather warming a bit, and certainly during the Easter break here, many interesting things will be popping.  Blogger hopes to catch the essence of it to pass on to you.  Stay tuned!
