Every Little Bit Counts

So you thought the field completely finished with bulldozers! This one is preparing for the laying of a walkway to the future bleachers. In the distant right you see the pipes that will be laid to drain the field in preparation for the artificial turf.

Moving indoors to the theater, we find men here and there doing all kinds of finishing jobs. While one man applies adhesive to a closet floor, another paints the ceiling of the other closet off the lobby. Advancing into the theater proper, you see a man cleaning the raised seating area for the painting of the under-the-seats floor. This floor area must be sealed first, as you see a masked man doing a little later to the riser. Coming a little later still you see a man rolling the dark gray paint to the lower seating area, and still later you observe the whole theater floor that isn't aisle painted. Carpeting for the aisles comes next week. (Look at the posting below for the rest of the photos.)

What's happening on the stage? Over the last several days two men have been working at the floor, the same two men you observed in Tuesday's posting. You can follow a bit of the procedure in two photos--black plastic, ties, plywood, paper(?), then the actual floor boards. No wonder the floor workers wanted to hire the blogger (she demured); the more hands, the faster the job. Leaving the men to finish on their own, and moving out into the side hall, you see that banisters have appeared on the staircase to the ground floor. Yes, we're down to counting the days!
