Two for the price of ... two

Late last week and early this week two major projects were visibly under way. So was a third but it was mainly in the crawl spaces, so we don't have any photos.

First, we were out in 104th Avenue Northeast Monday and Tuesday digging a hole for big valves that will control the water supply for our sprinkler system and separately for our faucets and toilets. Sue got a lot of these photos. Oh, in explanation of the name of this photo gallery, the company doing the digging and placement of the valve is called "Golddiggers."



Second, we cut the roof off the east side of the north end of the sanctuary building last week. We began putting on a new slightly higher roof that connects the old building to the clerestory. We began to tear down the roof on the west side. With all the rain we had, we decided to wait on finishing that until the new roof was sheathed on the east side.

Warren got all the outside doors installed. A few more interior walls were framed. The heating and ventilaton crew worked out of sight, but their ducts would show up and then disappear.

This gallery is a strange amalgam of photos that jumps backward and forward in time and place. It's what happens when two people take photos over four days, process them later and try to make them tell a story several days after that.
