Wednesday, September 18...

The south end roofs are being worked on.  Lower levels are almost complete.

The weather changed every minute...

Putting in some overtime.

God's promise.

Working on finishing the lower level roof on the S end of the church.

Lucky day for this one!  Her turn to come work at the church with Dad.

A crane was needed to set beams.

The start of getting those beams placed in the center of church. These beams are huge!

Apparently Pete thinks he's a monkey. :-) (crawling his way up the steel beam)

Getting the beam situated just perfectly.  

Seriously?! My heart failure syndrome kicked in a few different times throughout this evening! 

Securing the beam.  

Always someone checking out the progress.

Working on getting the S end roof framed up and ready for sheeting.

It's quite the process getting these beams in place.

There goes Pete again thinking he's Curious George. 

Crane operator.

Guiding the strap on the beam.

Sun is out once again. 

Setting the beams on the N side of the church.

Supposedly this is the only way of  putting these beams in?!  Standing way up on a 20 or 30 ft wall while the beam is swinging about. Whew, glad I don't have to do this!

Looks like another thunderstorm is moving in.

You can get a little idea about how tall this N end wall is that they are setting a beam on.  Yikes!

What a great place to rest. (especially with lightning in the area) jk

Crane operator testing his balancing skills.

Getting the last beam set.  

Time to crane the trusses up on the roof.  ( Our weather this last month or more, is similar to the rainiest spot on earth)

Boys had fun with the mud.

Beams are in place,  more work awaits.
