Today our sculptor Thomas Marsh came down and we installed the cross for our new crucifix. Tom brought the corpus (image of Christ crucified) that he is sculpting to make sure the attachment points on the cross are in just the right place. After we put up scaffolding and tied a pulley to the beam, about eight strong men hoisted the 600 pound cross into place while another five kept it from spinning or swinging.
Yesterday, we got a chance to see the inside of the organ room. Here the guys are installing the cement board to the side wall of the Swell division. Today, the interior partitions started going up, including the frame of the inner swell shades for the Choir division.
This was a couple of weeks ago when the cast stone blocks were being lifted into position on top of the rear wall of the organ chamber.
