CNSTRCTN XIII #2 Time and Noise March On

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

Where to start?  This past week has seen such a flurry of
activity on almost every level of the building, even the
4th. floor with men coming off the elevator and going
out to the roof.  So we'll start on the 3rd. floor with the
shrouded section of the hallway.  Purpose: to keep dust
out of the hall as much as possible and to contain asbestos
from--not sure since the targets for such removal seem to vary.
A new doorway must be broken from the classroom, so perhaps
it's related to that.
Moving up a half flight brings us the the ghost of a library.  You may notice on the right, the red ghost.  Actually (every ghost needs an "actually) it was in the temporary classroom that was the first thing to go on that level.  But the impressive thing is the space which will become bigger before it becomes much smaller--one fairly large classroom on this side of the whole 2 1/2 level.  On the other side which you have seen pictured in the blog many times, there will be two classrooms.
1)           2)
3)

The middle photo requires an about-face for the viewer since we are looking into the old stack room now that the wall is removed.  What to do with all the doors that have been taken down in various places?  Well, there they are.  The third photo above shows what one sees coming down the far east stairs from the 3 1/2 level.  Hmm--that was quite a surprise that blogger didn't anticipate as she rounded the corner on the staircase.  The new doorway goes into the area you see in the background in the first photo of the three above.  Blogger still isn't clear on what that whole space will contain, except a restroom must go back there somewhere.

Now to the first floor with some interesting developments.
First the chapel scene.  Stepping inside the reflection room
space, we begin to understand, upon reflection, why it will take months for the chapel to be completed.
Stepping outside--oops, we must go down hallway next to chapel and go out the east door--we come around to the outside just past the chapel itself, to get a look at the elevator toweras it is donning its beautiful white stone" dress".  The black above the stone and in-tween pick layer to hold it,

you're looking at the tower as it still seems shrouded in the black that
insulates it from moisture (blogger supposes).
On the other side of the tower, there is a large opening at ground level
that they will use to install the elevator proper.

And so ends another week of Vol. XIII in the saga of CNSTRCTN on Hilton Dr.  If you think it amazing that we are only in the 13th. month, you should be here.  You might feel as many of the staff here do, that it's the 23rd. month.  It's been quite a ride that certainly isn't finished.
But this blog spot is.  Have a good week!  God bless.
