Core drilling gone bad

 The Core drilling has continued.  As they planned out how all the cables were going to get into the dimmer room,  they x-rayed the concrete floor and then started drilling.  Then, what was supposedly just a piece a re bar, turned out to be a conduit packed full of wires.  But after four hours of trying to figure out where this conduit that ran through the slab under the dimmers came from no one could to find the other ends.  It was determined that all of the wires were not hot so that meant it could have been one of the hundreds of panels that have been demoed since this project began.

So they continued to drill the rest of this array of holes.  I looked at it on Friday and now that there are two or three holes going through this conduit i start thinking that maybe it is coming from the studio booth.
I go to the studio booth where two men have found a potential assortment of cables that seem to match the colors that are in the conduit.  (Timing is everything really) So that makes me think which one of the conduits is heading towards the dimmer concrete slab.  Two seem to go that direction so i go back into the dimmer room and then continue to try and follow the line
I walk into the Studio theater and suddenly it all comes together when out of these two circuit boxes the evidence is all you need to see what the men on the other end where figuring out is that the lines that were cut were circuit lines running from the old Studio dimmers to this upstage right area.
Then just for fun later in the day they core drilled through the crying room wall.  Unfortunately that is in view of the audience.  This time the drawings were completely accurate and the people drilling somehow went 5 feet to the right of what they were supposed to do.  Oh well.  I guess we cap it and paint it black.
