Creative destruction

Several hardy souls converged on the construction site Saturday morning -- some of us a little later than the others -- to speed up demolition of the north wall of the sanctuary building. It is no longer supporting much of anything.

The wall, however, had no intention of going easily. Despite persistent attacks with crowbars and pry bars and hammers and saber saws and sledge hammers, some of it remained at the end of the day. Several of its tormenters had minor wounds to show for their efforts. Earl and Larry D. spent several hours there but aren't represented in the slideshow. Warren spent the day on the roof.

And no matter what anyone says I did manage to hit the broadside of a church window -- after several tries. My target was much smaller than the one the others had.

  1. Great pictures again. Haven't been around the last couple of weeks, the changes happen fast. If someone could get a message to Warren that I will be in church this Sunday and if he can bring the landscape drawings to service I'll pick them up then. Or I can give him a call this weekend.
