TARDIS Doors and TIME WALLS

Today we made significant progress towards repairing the damage to the Tardis and have continued to paint all the walls and bulkheads. The thing with time machines is, daily use leaves wear and tear on the finish - causing some associated time dilation and disruptions. Regular maintenance, along with proper shielding should prevent nearly all of these distortions from occurring. As you can see here, the main time wall has had its first junction installed and while there remains some minor damage to the finish of the bulkhead - structurally and, most importantly, time-wise - the junction has turned out even better than we expected.

All Junctions between time-walls need meticulous attention to detail,
you do *not* want time running out inside of a functional time machine!

While there is still a large amount of work ahead, with more repair work and painting, progress from this point forward will certainly be much slower. This doesn't mean that anyone is being less productive. More often than not it just means that progress is made in other less obvious ways, such as spending the requisite hours on researching options and sourcing required parts and materials. Or narrowing down options regarding lighting and other technological components and gadgetry planned for installation. I guess my point here is to point out that the updates from this point forward may not fall as frequently as they have been occurring ;) Also, the new boss could be here any moment. Operator called today as expected, however, it had something to do with a totally unrelated matter, so we are still in the dark over whether or not we will get a new boss anytime soon.
