Ceiling project 6/1/07

As I look out from the balcony over the plastic covered pews, I see the work of a man who understands the significance of the building in which he is working. It has always been a personal pleasure to watch professionals do their job well. Looking ahead to next week, we should see the project raised to new heights as the scaffolding begins to appear.

Ceiling Project 5/31/07

Our Ceiling contractor, Swiatek Restoration, is hard at work in the sanctuary. In the past three days he has managed to cover the entire sanctuary in protective plastic. This is done to protect the pews, and the organ, and all of the other elements of the sanctuary from harmful construction debris. Henry (Swiatek) is going to great lengths to protect our historic building and is hopeful that all of is prep work will make cleanup easier in the end. To me, amid all of the excitement of the project, the sanctuary has the melancholy feel of a summer cottage in the fall.
