The long awaited walls were installed today at the office. It seems that the architects that had been hired were incompetent, but finally we found a local interior designer who could do the job for half the price. It turned out that we couldn't cover all the walls we had planned to because of the water damage from the fire a few years ago, but the office environment has really improved.
Pictured above is the front desk area, with that beautiful sky light. You can also see an authentic pulley from the original time machine system.
Here is the waiting area that doubles as a childcare center for the staff. On the left is the new staircase that was installed yesterday. We hadn't realized how unsafe the office was until one of the employees fell into the well yesterday. Luckily we were able to replace the whole thing immediately. It could have been a real nightmare with the insurance company if it had happened to the wrong person. We were really lucky.
Here is the original door handle, hand carved birch, that we have chosen to leave.
This is the old time machine pump (kerta kone pumpata?) that has been dormant since the fire. We are getting quotes in town to see if we can get her up and running again before the winter is over.
