Here are a few shots of this week's work.  Remember that you can click on each photo to enlarge it to see more detail.   By the way, thanks to generous donors who have given money to help us more quickly pay off the loan that we are taking out to pay for these repairs.   Your help is much appreciated!  If anyone would like to donate, simply note that the donation is for the Renovations 2015 fund, and drop it in the Sunday offering plate or take/mail it to the church office.    

The work being done around the south entrance that faces 31st street.  Some have asked about whether the old, faded banners will come down during this process.   Yes, they will.

The limestone-capped peak over the area of the nave that joins the north and south transepts to the main body of the nave.  The rounded peak windows on the left are the south chancel windows.   The small window in the center is at the top of the stairs going up to the south transept balcony.

A longer distance shot of the work on the south west corner of the building

Repairs along the kitchen windows in the alley.

The walls of the north (working) sacristy.  The work along the alley is coming along well.

Look at the almost-repaired chimney!  The decrepit metal band is still up there, but now it's not the only thing holding the chimney upright!   The bricks are all there and mortared into place as well!
