Just reviewing.
Actually, as you may guess, the corrugated part of the roof of the chapel extension is in place and the men are standing on it.
More on the east (chapel) end: the men came with the BIG truck to do the drilling in the elevator shaft this week. The following photos will give you a look at the truck (has all but the kitchen sink, but maybe that too, hidden in there somewhere) and what it looks like doing its thing.
What you see in the last of the drill photos is what it looks like on the ground as the drill does its thing. Enlarge the photo so you can see a cloud of dust (faint in this photo). That is, of course, what the drill is pulling up. Periodically there was a more dense and high cloud than what you see here. At times the man stopped the drill and he and another man jumped down into the shaft and dug out the dirt that had collected. You can see the mounds of dirt they threw out of the shaft. Since blogger does not have the vocabulary here as in other places (you've no doubt noticed) she needs to make clear that what she is calling the shaft is like a little room with a hole about two feet wide in the middle of the floor. The "room" about 5 1/2 feet deep. The hole is what they were drilling into to the depth of about 30 ft., if blogger remembers correctly, and will hold cables, etc. (?) needed to raise/lower the elevator. That's all she knows (or thinks she knows).
Down at the other end of the construction area, things have been happening above ground. Preparations are in process for placing the skylight frames. In the opening you can see the top of a platform lifted to the opening for some work needed to be done there. The man has probably gotten out onto the roof so the lift is empty.
