Phase II is underway! Our stonemasons have returned to move some more stones in our graveyard. After careful consideration of the equipment needed for building the retaining wall and columbarium, Daniel & Co requested we move additional stones to ensure they are kept safe. The stonemason’s work should wrap up Sunday or Monday.
Virginia Masonry has already been on site working on the three sets of stairs at our main church entrance. They are cleaning and taking care of some routine maintenance.
The big news: scaffolding is scheduled to go up on June 1! The first part of the work will include removing the paint of the church wall along the graveyard, repointing brick as needed, and then applying the same protective coating used on Faulkner Hall. They will also address the window glazing (Sydnor Hall level) and restore the stained glass window casements on that wall. Additionally, Daniel & Co. will be restoring the louvers of the bell tower. They estimate this portion of the work will take around three months. After that, they will begin pouring the foundation for the columbarium.
Many thanks for your continued support – it wouldn’t be possible without you.
