Sanctuary Construction - Masonry
The brickwork began in mid-January on the eastern wall.
A heated shelter was set up to help the mortar dry in the cold temperatures.
The shelter had to be raised all the way to the roof to cover all the brickwork - I mean, masonry.
Pastor Jon had to be corrected several times that the man was a "mason", not a "bricklayer".
Our Building Chairperson, Dean, the man up on the roof with his hands in his pockets, usually did the correcting.
(Too bad he didn't do the web page editing!)
Whatever you call it, the exterior came out looking pretty good!
The east side features a large cross and a stone bearing the name "Prairie Chapel".
