Here are some photos from the week just completed. Everything that came Monday was up in the chamber by the end of Friday - amazing! Since we are bringing everything in through the choir opening, the choir chests still remain to be delivered on the second truck along with the metal pipes. I'll try to get some pictures of the actual hoisting of those chests.
We also got the main blower in place and wired up. The booster blower for the Tuba (looks like we are shooting of 17" of wind) still needs to be set in place and wired. The console comes tomorrow!!!
By the way, you can click on the pictures to look at the full-size version. Sorry if some are blurry, distorted and/or 'noisy.' They were taken with my cell phone!

Limits of space made us put this Mixture on two levels. You gotta love electric action for the crazy things you can do if chamber space is an issue.

The view from the scaffold. |
The chain for hoisting is in the middle and the opening of the Great is visible. Fortunately, there's a huge beam exposed on all four sides directly over the scaffolding and Choir tone opening. We tied a strap around the beam and hung a chain fall (a geared pulley) from it. Works like a charm!
