Protecting
the registers with plastic sheets and duct tape before power
washing the windows and washing and bleaching the limestone
pieces on the wall.

The
floors of the side aisles have intentionally been left uncovered;
the water from the washing is immediately vacuumed up to keep
it from getting onto the new floor covering under the pews.

A
better view of the brushing needed to clean the limestone.

Power
washing (lightly) the stained glass windows.
You should have seen the dirt that came off!.

More
washing.

More
brushing.

Bringing
the lift around the front of the church to position it to
power wash the east side wall before sealing that wall. The
plywood sheets were used to protect the lawn from the track
of the lift.

The
first test of washing and then bleaching the limestone
on the east side of the sanctuary.

Three
photos of some very poor old electrical routing
that has been removed as part of the renovations!



Start
of the refinishing of the altar on-site. First the existing
varnish
is stripped, then the surfaces sanded before staining and
refinishing. New accent lights will better highlight the altar.

The
glaziers continue installing new protective glass
over the stained glass windows.


The
new folding partitions that will separate the narthex
from the sanctuary arrive in two 1,000 pound crates.

Put
the crate up on edge on a "dolly" for unloading.

Thank
goodness for a power lift gate on the trailer.

Wheel
the crate off the lift gate and ...

...
through the construction gate to the front parking area.

Check
them out for any transportation damage and sign the freight
bill.
