Happy President’s Day folks! While most people enjoyed the day off, we were toiling away out in the country! Out at the site, lots of big things were happening. Our first accomplishment of the day was removing the dove tail beams. After this, the arch was free and able to be taken down, so we took it DOWN, BABY! Mid-takedown our ever faithful cherry picker ran out of gas leaving Walker and John stranded. John, with his monkey arms, scrambled down just fine, but Walker had a few issues. Once everyone was safely on the ground, we decided to break for a healthy lunch at the B.P. gas station… I don’t want to know how many sticks of butter are in that potato casserole. Meanwhile, the “wonder twins” and Goldparts (Golpar) were measuring the arches to prepare for building the mock-up jig. After measuring, they met with our auto-cad technician Adam to draw the arches into auto-cad and verified the measurements. Bill, Candace, Chris, and Erin spent the day in the woodshop ripping 4×4’s into 2×2’s for the mock jig. Jamie and Sarah continued to clean and repair windows, and the office continued to contact the various individuals who help make all of this possible! After the site feast at the B.P., we completed the half arch removal and took down the south wall of the chancel area! Then, ya boy dominated in a game of brick horse shoes…booyah. All in all, it was once again a pretty spectacular day.
