"Pardon our dust" is the theme for the end of week two. Removal of the parish hall ceiling plaster has coated the entire area in dust. Doors to the nave are baffled and a big fan sits in the west doorway throughout the day.
The original capitals and ceiling beam in the parish hall are now clearly visible. They are in remarkably good condition and will be incorporated into the new design.
Downstairs, demolition of the walls is nearly complete and preparation continues for pouring reinforced concrete floors. In the earth below the floor joists, we have found several more original nails of varying sizes. They are flat rather than round and have square heads. The smallest are about two inches long. The largest are about six inches long.
Removal of the basement walls has now revealed three original windows and a door opening in the southeast corner.
