Brennan and Co. installed the new one.

Repair to base of column.
As he paints, Roy Riley has repaired what is rotten. Here’s a bit of the base of one of the columns. The trim around the base of the facade is now replaced and it’s looking almost finished. Half the windows are done. He takes the sash home to work on in the shop. Soon all the windows will open!!

The church front has been scraped, primed, and received one coat of finish paint. Another coat of finish will be applied when the temperature is warmer.

When the church was scraped the seam where the church was cut in 1910 to be moved became prominent.
It looks as if they cut off the columns at the top to move it also.
Look at line about 6 inches below the capital.
Some rotten wood was removed for repair revealing that the columns are purely decorative, not actually weight bearing at all.

Shoring up the porch.
Check out the columns next Sunday.
Also, the leak in the flashing where the link joins the sanctuary was repaired. You can see new shingles from the Ed. building.

Thanks to Bob Hungerford for his craftsmanship, knowledge, hot, sweaty work and good humor. He has completed the restoration of the bell. Thanks to Clark, also, his cheer leader, photographer and companion in the hot cramped steeple. Below are “Before” and “After” shots. Check the “Bell and Steeple Repairs” category for more pictures along the way.

It was 85o and very tight quarters up in the steeple.
Temporary landing to make carrying parts up easier.
Can you see the "air conditioning". They spent hours up there!
After they put up the new wheel, some of the old spokes had to be reinforced with wood.
Did you know how small the opening is to the bellfry?
Old spoke, new wood.
The wheel in pieces before they carried it up and assembled it.
