So where weren't we this past week? Kitchen changingappearance rapidly; remote moves to demolish one
kitchen wall; demolition of walls to create new faculty
dining area; first steps to removing balcony trappings;
new machinery delivering concrete to new elevator;
continued work on tower roof; removal of classroom
platforms. Are you ready?
1) Last of the stove base going under the drill. photo 1)
2) The man on the scaffold is removing some undesirable objects in preparation for the taking down of that wall in the cafeteria.

In 3) a young fellow is removing the remains of a wall thatseparated a storage room from a hallway near the cafeteria.
4) Are they looking for evidence of asbestos or maybe just testing to see how easy/hard removal of the balcony front will be (that operation is at a standstill right now)?
5) We're still indoors looking through 307 to the doorway that
issues from the elevator in preparation for the passageway that will take people to the main hallway. The leg belongs to a workman on break.

6) Now to the outside to a piece of machinery that reminded blogger of a huge praying mantis when she looked out her bedroom window and saw its upper extension. Egad! Out to the roof she ran (actually walked--she does not run on the roof) to see what is this creature is. It is a boom carrying the hose that is delivering concrete to the elevator exit hallways. (A giant mantis would have been more exciting, but maybe not!)
7) On the ground is the cement mixer and the vehicle into which the concrete is sent, then carried up into the hose you see.
8) The whole operation is maneuvered by a man standing on the ground and holding the control box. It took blogger a few minutes to spot him. How clever can they get!
7) 8)
Blogger is pretty much run ragged trying to keep up with all this, and so will close with a farewell shot (for now) provided by a retreating worker.
