How tall do they think Grace parishioners are???

Some photos taken by Kit Cone yesterday, the first day of the Hazmat work, with his notes:

This is the asbestos warning sign in the back door of the church...

...which you would have to be 15-20 feet tall to even read!

The third picture shows the placement of a lot of concrete block today. The masons were really busy! And notice that the reinforcing rods have to poke up in precisely the right place to line up with the holes in the concrete blocks! Then they pack the hole in the block with concrete to make sure that this building will last longer than forever!

And on the first day of operations, the asbestos removal fellows set off the fire alarm. Fortunately Captain Ed was able to resolve the problem, which was in the alarm rather than any fire in the building. The inside of the building is absolute chaos, with doors covered by heavy plastic taped in place.

In response to some conjecture about whether anyone could go in the building during the asbestos removal: NO!
