There is tremendous progress with the construction of the new addition at the rear of the church. Concrete block walls are going up at a great rate.
Blocks are stacked on scaffolding by laborers, so that masons can pick up the next block and set it in place with minimal "running around" for supplies.
A long-standing drainage problem at the back of the church should be remedied by the installation of a very generously designed storm water runoff system. In the photo above, new PVC drain pipes for the addition are visible prior to being buried, and at right are the visible parts of a new eight-inch drain system for the existing building. In the photo below, drain pipe is stacked at the ready to be installed from roof drains at the side of the old rectory, feeding directly into the new drain under the former exit driveway down to Kings Road. The remediation work, being done as part of the new construction project, should eliminate the frequent flooding of the courtyard outside the Chapel of the Epiphany and the Madison Day Care Center classrooms.
