Was in the pile

As I cleaned up the studio I came across these pieces again. I know I have shown them before. I had a box of vintage fabric given to me and these pieces were in it. I laid them out and now I need to count the pieces to see if they are all there or I need to go digging thru the box for a misplaced piece. I want to use vintage off white fabric for the background so I am going to have to go thru my stash and see what I can find. Old pillow cases would be a perfect background fabric and I know I have a few of those.

I ended up fixing my shower control valve, doing a load of laundry and watching a movie "No Country for Old Men". The movie was on the list of 100 movies to see and I was disappointed. Did the bad guy kill the guy's wife? How does someone walk away from a car accident with a compound fracture to the arm and continue on his quest to find the guy who had the money? The whole thing was far fetched.

At work we are building a MRI room. Much more complicated than I would have thought. First, the ceiling and part of the walls needed to be covered with fire resistant plywood. Then part of the walls, the ceiling, and floor needed to be covered with steel sheets. I have no idea about why some areas get the steel sheeting and others don't.

Then the floor was covered with 3" of concrete on top of the steel sheeting.

This is after the basement ceiling, which is under the MRI room, had been reinforced with I-beams and covered in steel sheeting. We are not done yet! Next there is another layer of fire resistant plywood and more after that! Those walls are going to be thick once they are done! In case of a tornado I am headed to the MRI room for shelter! The room is below ground with masonry walls.

Then the new front canopy is going up. This will be the main entrance for drop offs and pickups.

They are finishing up welding the deck on this morning. I have no idea what is next, but I will watch and post a picture tomorrow of the progress. The concrete curbs and sidewalks are getting poured also so there is a lot of action at the main entrance. We need to have this done before winter sets in.

  1. I know it's not a pleasant place to work but it's fascinating to find out how the bones of the place are being put together.
