![if you leave them in a dark room overnight, do they breed and multiply? activity room construction](ladders2.jpg) In August, work began anew in the activity room, AKA the music room. |
![banned room activity room sheetrock](132walls2.jpg) Here's the same back corner after some of the sheetrock was installed. |
![a hose job? sprinkler piping](132ceiling2.jpg) Some of the utilities in the ceiling. The hoses are for the large temporary heater set up in the gym. |
![hey, shelve it buddy insulated glycol piping](shelves2.jpg) And the glycol piping got insulated...and shelving/storage was moved in from the next active work areas. |
![padded walls? sound insulation](soundproofing2.jpg) This view looks the other way, the opening is where the door will be installed. |
![mind the step mind the step](dfcb2.jpg) Out in the main entrance area, here goes the last bit of subfloor under the stairway. |
![niche market niche market](dcurve22.jpg) Framing the curved wall at the main corridor. This area required some rather skilled carpentry...fortunately there were some very skilled carpenters. |
![is there a niche market at Pole? the niche at the bottom of the B3 stairs](niche2.jpg)
Another view of the curved wall and the niche. |

Next...time to start the curved stairwell wall. |

![measure twice, measure again, cut...no, measure again and cut closeup of curved sheetrock installation](curvedrock2.jpg) After insulating, here's a closeup of the curved drywall being installed in the gym lobby. |
![hall mark hall mark](129paint2.jpg) Finishing the lower stair lobby. |
![Is anyone home? Is anyone home?](129lights2.jpg) The lights are on! |
![black iron black iron](stairpaint2.jpg) The stair stringers were painted just before first flight. |
![the upper room the upper room](237paint2.jpg) Painting the upper stair lobby. |
![convexing convexing](238wallfloor2.jpg) The curved exercise room wall behind the stairwell. |
![air mover B4 air handler](ahuassembly2.jpg) Last but not least, putting the air handler together in the fan room. It was in sections, each was quite heavy. |
![flexing B4 air handler](ahupiping2.jpg) And one of the sections was missing...fortunately it wasn't one on the bottom or one with piping connections. |
![don't sweat the copper B4 air handler piping](ahudone2.jpg) The piping was complete at the end of the winter...but the fan section which connected to the hot air duct (at upper right) wasn't on station. |

For the record, here's my 2008 photo of the completed air handler in operation. |
