... and there it was ... gone

Yesterday, the steel workers were hard at it, but today, the crane that was afixed to our front lawn is no more.



I was returning to the rectory just a little while ago, and saw the flatbed parked in the street just off the property.  The driver was still securing the safety belts, and within minutes he was gone.  No more will that crane be seen in the front lawn of the church, and with this departure, another milestone has been reached.

As of yesterday, the last of the large pieces of steel - the ladders and the cages - have been hoisted.  They will be affixed to their new homes, and by next week, the two-foot extensions that are required for each of them in order to bring them up to code, will also be hoisted and put in place.
