March 17

The weather continues to impact our outside work. Where is the sun and dry weather? This will allow the soil and the building block to dry out. The bell tower roof is being constructed on the south east side of our parking lot. When finished, it will be lifted to the top of the bell tower. Our 10-foot Cross will be anchored to the center pole on the rooftop. Framing in the Nave, the transepts and the ceiling of the Narthex continues. The duct work is progressing.

The entire building has been addressed with new air-conditioning. When the weather permits, we will pour concrete at the main entrance and the northeast side of the building. When this is complete the framers can frame the roof the the east walkway.

This week's photos:

• The bell tower roof being assembled on the ground and, when complete, to be lifted to the top of the tower. The center pipe in the photo will hold the 10 foot Cross on top of the tower.
• The bell tower is scheduled to be the first area for stucco. The weather has been an issue with getting it started.
