If there is one place where Zeno's dichotomy paradox can be observed in action, it is construction. It seems that construction projects tend to slow down as they approach completion. So it is with our bathroom project. During the first four weeks, the bathroom was the center of a whirlwind of activity and the site of significant progress. During the last two weeks, however, progress can only be discerned through time-lapse photography. As a fan of sailing races, I am used to slow races, but this even tries my patience.
From the last blog entry to today, the only observable progress was that the bathroom was primed and painted. So we went from floated concrete walls to Blue floated concrete walls.
And today, after a week of inactivity, the crew started reassembling the bathroom. The first sign of progress was that the zippered isolation cover on the door was removed and bathroom is no longer considered a Level V haz-mat isolation area.
Just as vitally, the throne has been returned to its former place of honor and glory (and it even works):
The rest of the bathroom is also being slowly reassembled:
And in the full richness of time, we hope, we will have, once again, a fully functional bathroom. Hope, as they often say, is eternal. Our timetable for this remodel, however, is a bit tighter than that.
