Bringing in the heavy artillery!

The last couple of days the construction company assembled a large crane across the street to the south of the Temple and today drove it across the street and around the building into position north of the Temple project to start moving heavy material in and out of the building. 

The crane stands a good 10 stories tall as it is as tall as our building.  The work of dismantling an interior wall continues and the brick is being moved outside the building and the good bricks are being stacked on pallets for future use.  It appears to me that they are removing any damaged portion of the exterior walls and will start to reinforce the walls and move forward with the interior excavation, but what I do know I am an accountant!  Hopefully the crane stays on their side of the fence or my office could be easily rearranged.

Work on the brick walls has started

As I stated in my last post that they were starting to haul scaffling into the empty Tabernacle shell and I have noticed lately that it appears that they are starting to remove damaged bricks from the walls and are hauling them out into the yard.  It also looks like they have been working at cleaning out more of the debry in the interrior of the building.  I believe that this is going to be a long slow process of restoration.

You can see the workers on the near corner working on the top of the exposed walls.
