CNSTRCTN Vol XIV, # 3 Some Here and Some There

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

First an item of interest--the laying of terrazzo.  Some months ago blogger posted a photo of a man polishing a spot of new terrazzo.  The floor around him was covered with slurry, a milky looking mess but a needed lubricant in the polishing process.  Below is another set of photos showing the before and after the polishing process.  You may want to enlarge the second so that you can see the newly polished under the dried slurry.  It seems there may be a few more places in the renovation that will require filling in broken spaces with new terrazzo.  Someone just reminded blogger that the process will be needed in the kitchen also.  In the photos below, the new terrazzo is in front of the new doorways leading into the halls (on both 2nd. and 3rd. floors).

 

Moving to the 2 1/2 level (old library) we find
progress especially on the south side smaller rooms.  The
rooms on the north side will be larger and more complex
and will take more time to get this far.




A brief look into the new chapel reveals the new stone ware on the left side of the sanctuary, and what is directly opposite the sanctuary--progress in separating the main chapel from the devotional section.
            
      

The roof work over the kitchen is much further along
than this photo demonstrates, but blogger seems to be dealing
with a contentious iPad this morning and can't show you the most recent photos.  Maybe next time.

                                                                                                                     
The kitchen still requires much by way of plumbing and HVAC work, and since we have been told that the water will be turned off early Wednesday a.m. (nothing unusual), they may be getting ready
to work on that area.  The other area that is a possibility is the small
restroom on 2 1/2.  We shall see.
Blogger is learning (the hard way) that speculating is a dangerous game.  What she speculatively identified as new panels for the inside of the elevator ended up being the doors on the mezzanine stops for the elevators.
Lest blogger gets into more slurry here, she will close for this week.  May the days ahead be pleasant with temperatures a little lower, and filled with surprises that enliven your spirit.
