Running out of Time… Capsule.
Having to run around and get things done for the time capsule. Have pictures printed, hope that they last the several centuries that we expect the capsule to be embedded in the stairs. The concrete pour is Friday, so we gotta get everything assembled and ready to go before then.
We’re putting in a letter, some pictures, and I’m trying to think of other cool non-perishable items to include as well. We’ll put in a newspaper section I suspect, if we can fit it in. The can isn’t that big, it’s stainless steel though, and is rated to last a really long time. I also got a dehumidifying packet and an oxygen absorber, so things should be in good shape for about 200 years at least.
I’m thinking I might put in a wire sculpture, that should last. Staples don’t apparently, nor rubberbands or such. So no plastic stuff either. I’m using archival film envelopes for the pictures and other documents, hopefully they will withstand the test of time, as severe as it may be.
