As of this past Thursday, the East-facing tower is completely shrouded in its scaffolding, and the West-facing tower has already been clad on one side. Work continues on the other three sides, and the word on the street is that this part of the job will be complete by Wednesday of this coming week.
In the meanwhile, there will be a site meeting on Tuesday, and the stone masons are expected on site beginning that day. Then the true work will begin. At first, we may not see much progress from the outside, but eventually, there will be lots to tell and to see.
For two days now, the mechanisms that make the bell ring have been disconnected. That means that it will sit silently from now until the time that the restoration work is complete. Then it will be re-connected and will peal for all to hear.
