foundation, framing, pew finishing

September 25 has continuing work on the foundation out front. Included in that is some demolition of the front walls to make way for the new construction. The cornerstone to the right of the main entrance was removed and stored for re-use when construction is near completion. More on that in another post. In the meantime, wood is being added to the interior framing to be used as nailing surfaces for the sheet rock, wainscoting and other wood trim work. As can be seen from this picture, the front walls on the reredos behind the altar area have had the wood facing removed. These will be re-finished with stonework in the near future. Milan Restorations is moving ahead with this interior work with good speed and Marko tells me they are within two weeks of completing the stripping and sanding of the pews to prepare them for final finishing. More on that in later posts, too.

Thanks for following along!
