With all the snow and ice and freezing temperatures over the several days, you might well think that all would be quiet at Greenfield. Not so!
Of course, it was quiet on the few days when Greenfield was officially closed and also on days when snow made it impossible to drive down our lane. But once a path was cleared, the usual bustle started up once again. And that includes all the blessedly noisy construction work on our new chapel, which is once again rapidly taking shape.
Onward and Upward
That’s right. Even on the coldest, windiest days over the past week, construction continued. Piles of lumber arrived to be stacked in the snow. Construction workers, bundled to the gills in their winter gear, scampered about out in the open, hammering and sawing and hoisting completed sections of the building into place.
The good news is that the roof trusses on building are going up. The final outline of the building is coming into view—a thing of beauty, exciting to behold.
Once the trusses are complete, completing work on roof comes next. Then the workers will be able to spend at least some of their time working inside, out of the cold, cold wind. (Sounds like motivation to get these next steps done quickly.)
Bottom line is that despite the harsh winter weather of recent days, construction is still on schedule.
Our deep appreciation goes to the workers out there every day on the job. Take a moment to ask Divine Mother to bless and protect the workers as they labor in the cold and wind to build our beautiful new Greenfield Chapel.
