Ceiling project 6-8-07

The scaffolding is complete. In one week, our contractors have put together a giant erector set that will provide a safe working environment for Henry and his men. I would like to thank this crew for their hard work. Henry will be staring his work next week. I would like to take this opportunity to say that the safety of all of God's children is important to us. As Henry gets going, there will be a lot of dust, and a lot of debris. Please help us to maintain a safe restoration by not entering the sanctuary with out authorization. I would be more than happy to escort anyone that is interested in seeing how the project is progressing.

It looks like the scaffolding will be done either today or tomorrow. This is a full three days ahead of schedule, and just in time for the Strawberry festival. The contractors should be all cleaned up and out of the way before the first chicken hits the grill.

Ceiling project 6-6-07

I just stopped in and it is about 4 pm. The majority of the scaffold is finished. there is now a temporary second floor in our sanctuary. The complete decking of the scaffolding allows for the contractor to have complete access to our ceiling. In a conversation with Henry, he stated that this deck effectively makes this a project about a 50 foot high ceiling into a project about a 12 foot high ceiling.

More scaffolding is being erected today. Working towards the goal of decking the entire sanctuary. These guys erecting the scaffold are fearless. They climb around and function at fifty feet as easily as on the ground.

The second week of the project begins with the delivery of the scaffolding. Five men have worked all day to begin the process of building the sanctuary long deck that will be the working area for the plasterers and painters. Imagine working all day forty-five feet in the air.
