Plaster Status Update 8/12/19

8/12/2019

We are pleased to report that we're making progress on the plaster in the sanctuary.  Much of the work above and around the altar is now complete.  Our plasterer is turning his attention to the areas above the Luther and Luther Rose windows... meanwhile we're having some unsightly electrical fixtures replaced, and starting to think about paint colors.

The chancel (above the altar) area is looking great and smooth after significant plaster repairs!

Work in progress above the Luther window - the first steps are important in removing damage and determining extent needed, preparing surfaces...

... and above the Luther rose window.

What's this? Where the wall sconces attach, there was an unsightly cable conduit that ran down below each, as well as a protruding electrical outlet. Now all the electrical has been buried behind the wall, and we'll have smooth and beautiful walls below our lights.

The unused chandelier sconce has been removed from above the altar! Note the pencil markings made by the original builders, and the many old coats of paint. Now to patch up this giant hole...

Paint has been chosen! We're excited for the fresh paint that will brighten our sanctuary and freshen our sacred, welcoming space for our anniversary and beyond!

Testing out various paint colors. The consensus was to try something brighter and matte.

Most of the plaster was removed from the wall behind the altar, and on each side of it. This gave us a chance to change the texture. Because this is the focal point of our worship services, we chose a smooth finish for the plaster here, to help brighten the space.
