February 2026

 

Scaffolding was installed at the ends of the car for access to the roof.

Rather uneven surface for the base but it is sturdy.

Now it is possible to work from above and below.

The scaffold provides excellent access.

Ron and crew have been moving right along on the copper flashing.

This is a closeup of one of the copper pieces showing the cuts and bends that were made.  (Click the image to enlarge.)

They are almost to the end on this side.

This side is installed and looking good.

Ron is soldering the joints between pieces of flashing.

At the second work session in February installation of the  bender-ply was begun.  Note also the trim on the side of the clerestory overhang.

Scaffolding has been placed at the east end of the car also and it is ready for the bender-ply.

Back to the west end, the plywood is being installed.

John will make it fit.

Then tack it down.

Paint removal continues.

Many thanks to Don, Glenn, and Phil for help with the photos.
