So it begins.
A few days ago, I wrote about the fact that the contract for the tower renovations here had been awarded. Only a few days later, the construction has begun. Actually, yesterday was the first day, but as it happens (I think it happens more often than one would like to admit), there were some minor glitches in the initial start up.
This wonderful forklift was supposed to arrive early in the morning on Tuesday (immediately after the holiday Monday), but as fate would have it, it was delayed because of some mix up with the company from which it was supposed to be rented. When it finally arrived, some of the scaffolding had already been unloaded from the flatbed truck that had arrived and taken up some of the parking spots in the neighbouring parking lot.
It wasn't long before it was put into motion, and one by one the palates of metal were transported into place, stacked neatly along the walkway, one by one to be transformed into the various parts of the skeleton that will allow the stone masons to get to work.
By the time the workers left this afternoon, the first parts of the scaffolding had already begun to take shape. In this case, the openings that must be left accessible to all the exits (including the emergency exits) so that people can continue to enter the church during the construction period.
In the next week or so, the rest of the scaffolding will be put in place. I'm told that it will reach the better part of the way up to the top of the towers. I'm also led to believe that there will be a part of the access to the brick work that will involve lowering supplies from the open parts of the towers. Who am I to know the specifics, but I have a feeling that I'm about to learn.
Stay tuned for the updates. I'm sure that there will be lots to recount as the progress continues.
