Glass!!

So on Friday the 6th the glass went in. Now it really looks like the "Jewel Box" we all imagined. Very exciting. The elevator will take some time to come. No one can really explain why but everyone agrees that elevators always take a long time. You can see that there is a stair case as well as an elevator so it is not just an entrance for "disabled people" but for everyone who chooses for whatever reason to come in this way.

Someone said today that someone else had asked them why we didn't just get a ramp. The answer is that in order to make a ramp this high we'd have to fill our back yard with concrete... it takes many many yards of ramp to reach this height and I have no idea how one would ramp down to the basement... And we deliberately chose not to solve the vexed question of access by adding anything that could be seen from the FRONT of the church since our facade is so much admired, etc.

In the picture above you can see an enormous great electrical box for... some reason... I know the elevator needs a reliable new source of power and I believe that we've done something to make sure the organ blower has the power it needs as well.
