Fandom High Dormitories

Over the weekend, the NPC construction staff had installed all the plumbing that was needed for the various things being installed and were just finishing up some preliminary wiring when Fraser and the students arrived.

"As you can see, we're just about ready to start transforming this floor into something that resembles the other floors in the building. The construction staff are doing some wiring work so your job for today is to complete some minor yet important tasks. Screwing in the protective coverings of wall sockets and light switches, touching up the paint around the trim, checking to make sure all the plumbing works, making certain that everything will be accessible as the walls are standing now and to begin moving materials for the next phase from the ground floor up here."

See, not too hard, right?

"Safety first and remember not to put your fingers in wall sockets. That will not be pleasant."

At all.

Fraser was back up on the sixth floor today, chatting with some of the construction crew as the students filed in. Once everyone had arrived, he sent the worker on his way and turned to the students.

"Welcome back," he said, smiling at them. "We're going to continue with the framing process today. It's a lengthy process considering we've got a lot of rooms to frame before we actually start with any of the interiors. Therefore, please wear your hard hats and your tool belts. Work together, lift with your knees and ask for help should you need it."

He gestured to the equipment table and watched all the students get to work.

Fraser still wasn't feeling his best but he was determined to be at the project site since he'd missed his usual day on Monday due to the holiday. The carpet was still in the process of being ripped up but Fraser was pleased at the progress they were making.

"Good morning," he said, smiling at everyone who'd arrived. "We're going to be completing the carpet removal today. Unfortunately, we've found some...mud underneath certain areas so please watch your feet and...hands and pants and everything. Mud won't hurt you, of course, but it will certainly dirty your clothes. If you do not want to rip up the carpet, please make your way into every empty room, checking for abnormalities on the walls, floors and ceiling. Look for water damage, mold, anything like that."

And probably mud.

"Please wear your safety equipment," he added, "and be safe."

The huge wall that separated the sixth floor that everyone could from, well, the unknown was still up though it was still a little battered. Professor Dex and the students had done a very good job of starting in on the demolition. Today was, of course, about continuing that.

"Good morning," he greeted. "Please don your hard hats and continue working on the wall. We're trying to prevent the use of explosives so it might take us a little longer than usual. All the tools are provided and safety is the top issue."

He nodded at said tools.

"Take breaks when you need them and help each other out if the need arises. Come find myself or Professor Dex should you need any further help."

With that, he nodded and sent them off to work.

It was the first day of the summer semester and, like previous summers, it was time to kick off the senior project. This time, it was a little different. All seniors who had decided to work on the senior project had been notified handwavily to report to the sixth floor of the dorms. Upon arriving, they'd find a floor that looked generously smaller than most other floors and a big giant wall.

Fraser himself was wearing a hard hat and grinning.

"Good morning," Fraser said, nodding, "and welcome to this summer's senior project. I don't know how many of you have been up here but, if you haven't, welcome to the sixth floor. Once, this floor matched all the floors below it. Then, we had a situation were the sixth floor was pretty much destroyed. We're going to fix that. The sixth floor is going to be renovated and rebuilt. First of all, we need to do some cleanup and this wall needs to come down to see what's behind it. We're not going to worry about that today. Today, I want you all to go into the remaining open rooms and clean them. That means debris on the floor, on the walls, anywhere. We need this area to be clean before we began heavy construction."

He nodded towards the cleaning supplies and hard hats.

"This project is going to be run by myself and Professor Dex so, if you have questions, please see one of us. Yes, we do have plans for what's going up here but we'll reveal those in due time. The blueprints are still being drawn up so consider it a surprise for now."

With that said, Fraser tucked his hands behind his back and grinned.

"It's time to get to work."

[This is the senior project for those staying the summer but ANYONE is allowed to help if they'd like!]
