Rain on the snow.

But the ducks are happy.

Mind is blown

Dome is back UP!

There were wind gusts... but the Deacon managed to to keep the dome from smashing.

There was also a bit of rain... and a little hail.

Dang am I glad that WE ARE DONE!!!

3 kids carrying the cross part. We fixed it in our shop... so just walked it over to the church.

From left to right, kid 3, 4, and 2. (Kid 5 took the pictures)

Dome waiting for us to finish other prep.

Kid 3 working on the lift

Dome with a protective shirt, deacon getting up in the wind

Deacon at the top, dome being lowered, and yeah... still gusting.

Almost done

Just in time for evening services!

Very nicely done there Al! It really completes the look of the church! Love the look of the sun reflecting off the gold with the outside lights on below.

Deacon at the top, dome being lowered, and yeah... still gusting.

Guess that explains why the Deacon's beard grows sideways!

Looks great!

I am so happy to see that! I've been thinking about the cross and dome, wondering if it got repaired and put back on the church. It looks awesome, good job!

 

[Alaskan]

Thanks!

It was so much more work that we thought it would be... and so much we had just never done before.

We watched all of these "gold leafing" videos ..... but HA, it just didn't go that smoothly or easily.

The Dome Wears Plaid! (temporarily)
Good job!
