East Gable Wall Part II

Great News!!!  The engineers have figured out a way to replace the beams without us having to demolish the wall.  The Dean is so relieved.  So am I.

There are two sets of beam trusses that are supporting the stones in that wall.  The wall will be propped up and then one wooden beam truss will be removed and replaced with a reinforced concrete beam.  Once that beam can support the weight of the stones then the other will be removed and replaced.  Work will begin shortly.
