The Ormsby House

March, 2003 - Page 4

Aww, yeah. Now that's what I'm talking about. If you want people to take notice of your renovation, just start knocking down a few walls. That'll show them!

So this was the reason the FakeRock™ bit the dust all those months ago. They were planning on tearing down the whole wall. I guess I can also see why they didn't do any work through the winter, if this was their next step. It would get a bit drafty in there, even if it is just an empty shell.

The site has finally completed the transition from abandoned building to construction site. It's been making progress all month, but now there's no doubt about it.

Scaffolding, scaffolding everywhere.

With the wall gone there's a little more light pouring inside the building. This used to be (and will be again) the casino. Now that the walls have come down, a nice stiff breeze should blow out all the cobwebs.

In the back, they're still working on the street and pouring footers for the sky bridge.

Concrete has been poured. Before you know it, the bridge will be up, the casino will be open, and happy tourists will be staying in well-appointed suites. And the heavens will open up, the streets will be paved with gold, and all known diseases will be cured. All by the 4th of July.

Visiting the new Winchester Club? Come right in! Whoops, watch that first step!

And just the next day, things were going vertical.

The End. Or is it?
