The good news is we are almost done. Very little is left remaining for work to the ceiling itself; about three days worth. The bad news is the contractor didn't show up this week. However, once he does and finishes his part then the electrician can install the bulbs themselves along with the hanging lamps. After that, beginning on Wednesday September 9, the floor will be stripped and re-finished. Concurrently, the front pews will be re-installed, all pews dry cleaned and the carpet cleaned too.
That should take us into the third week of September for completion. Of course, all this is contingent to the ceiling contractor finishing his work on time.
