Meanwhile
back in the sanctuary, the molding installation continues.

We also took delivery of a speaker cluster at the same time.

Spackling
the "blue board" in the narthex prepatory to plastering.

Starting
actual installation of air handling units 1 & 2.

Start
of construction of the limestone steps from the sanctuary
to the chancel; these are the "tread" or capstone
pieces..

The
first riser pieces in place and construction of the base for
the first step.

Some
of the limestone had to be heated to remove moisture before
installation.

Blue
board now covers the previously exposed folding wall panel
support brackets and the extended columns on either side of
the center sanctuary door.

The
gas humidifier installed in the boiler room.

Electricians
running the power for new speakers in the choir room to let
the choir "keep track" of what's going on in the
sanctuary; while these speaker enclosures were in place previously,
there were no speakers in them!

The
"accumulation track" for the folding doors between
the narthex and sanctuary after being "boxed" in.

A
closer look at the accumulation track.

Installing
the base blocks for the second step.

Mixing
"mud".

"I've
always wondered what's inside these things."

More
base blocks.
