Roof Works recommence
We have restarted the works on the roof.
The copper main gutters that lie just inside the parapet wall have been removed along with their timber supports. You can now see the brick inner lining of the outter walls.
Unfortunately we have uncovered some areas of termite damage in some of the main timbers. These will also have to be replaced.

This is such an extraordinarily major undertaking. What a privilege to be a part of restoring this beautiful and historic house of God that was so crying out for such careful, loving attention as it is getting now. It is a privilege, too, to be able to follow along.
