A Slow Week

This past week my school scheduled Fall break. So my week was shorter than usual with classes meeting on Thursday only. The week was shortened even more by the elevator/lift in my building going out (again for the 5th or 6th time this semester). When this happens, my classes are shifted to the 2nd floor (where my office is and the floor served by a ramp). The tricky thing is that the 3rd floor has the standard computer lab reserved for my classes and the 2nd floor has the student lab (this lab is reserved by any and all classes around campus). As luck would have it, the 2nd floor lab was already reserved and was thus unavailable for me to use. So, as you can tell I didn't do much teaching this past week. Hopefully the elevator will cooperate and all classes will be as scheduled this week. The elevator issue has already caused me to cancel 2 complete days of classes this semester. Not convenient for me or my students.

The hangar/building project is slowly moving forward. The entire ground floor apartment is now framed in and waiting for ceiling (2nd-floor floor joists) to be installed. Once the ceiling is in place I can then have the ground floor wired and plumbed. I plan to find a sheetrock/drywall crew to come in once the wiring and plumbing has been inspected and knock that out as quickly as possible. I still have tons to coordinate before the project is complete but I am still shooting for a Christmas move-in date. I know the wall color for my bedroom but will see if Jan or Kara (friends from church) can't help me choose colors for the bathroom and living/kitchen area.
