Framing the floor

Framework is being installed today for the new floor.

Renovation Begins!

The seating renovation got underway this week, and currently workers are carefully disassembling all the seats in the auditorium and storing them until the flooring is complete. I'll be posting photos and updates as work progresses. (Apologies that some of the photos are slightly blurry - the photos without the flash look better, but I've got to keep a steadier hand.)

The first step was to remove all the named chair arms, which happened Tuesday afternoon after the last event here was finished. Next, the carpet in the aisles was pulled up.

Wednesday, the seat cushions were removed and stacked on the stage.


After that, they began removing the seat backs. Word is that they will be done removing the seat backs and the metal frames by the end of the day on Friday, leaving a completely empty auditorium.


Keep checking back for updates. I'll post photos and info often, particularly when the progress is most notable.

Since writing the above on Thursday, more progress has been made. I haven't been able to post to the blog because of a technical issue with Blogger, but hopefully that will be resolved soon and I'll post this.

The seat backs are about halfway removed now and the metal chair stands are also being removed. The entire left side of the auditorium is now empty.
