Restoration Project 6-13-07

Henry and His crew have removed all of the acoustic tiles from our ceiling. They are bagged, and bundled and ready to become a part of the history of the church. The plaster ceiling has been revealed, and in it's day must have been magnificent. The reasons that the tiles were installed are also evident. Jeff has also begun the restoration of our Rose Window by removing some of it to his shop for repair.

Today we get to change the name of these posts to 'Restoration Project.' Today marks the beginning to the window restoration part of the project. I met with Jeff from the Godfrey Muller studios of Rochester. http://www.godfreymullerstudios.com/ His up close assessment of our clerestory windows (the little ones up near the ceiling) revealed that with the exception of one, they are in great shape. This is good news. Also, today, Henry's crew continued to work for the protection of our sanctuary, installing plastic down both aisles, and completely covering the choir loft.

Cieling project 6-11-07

Today is a day with little activity in the sanctuary. With the scaffold part of the project being completed so quickly, Henry and his crew had to complete another project before their planned start tomorrow. As we progress we will be seeing parts of the church that haven't been exposed in almost sixty years. It is almost like unwrapping a present.
