(Well, we’ll be back…) http://www.stjohnthebaptistcathedralrestoration.com/general/1066/were-coming-home-well-well-be-back/ http://www.stjohnthebaptistcathedralrestoration.com/general/1066/were-coming-home-well-well-be-back/#comments Fri, 19 Feb 2010 21:00:50 +0000 Copper Exclusive http://www.stjohnthebaptistcathedralrestoration.com/?p=1066 We’re heading back to our homes and office in Utah this evening, but we’ll be back here in a couple of weeks to finalize everything before the big, exciting lift.

Before we left, we fitted the finials to the lightning protections and finished the gilding on the collar at the base of the cross.  We have pictures, but as we will be traveling, it will be a few days before we can make our next post.  Also, we’ve got video in tow!  Stay tuned for those as well.

We apologize in advance for the quality of these images, but just wanted you to know we’ve been on task!  See you all in a couple of days!

In the meantime, we have some really fun pictures of the cross in its various stages of completion.  You can finally see how the stainless steel inner structure relates with its outer covering.

***Editor’s note:  Use the PicLens (hyperlinked in blue right above the pictures) to best view this fairly large gallery rather than skimming through the thumbnails as most of the thumbnails in this gallery have been significantly cropped.  We’d hate for you to miss the details.
