Work commences

Work on transforming the church to a cottage began today, although only with very modest steps. We started with a stop in Lunenburg to purchase a new-to-us kitchen island and two upper cabinets from a young couple who decided to remodel their one-year old kitchen to accommodate their growing family. After unloading the cabinets at Ulgedook, we spent the remaining hours of daylight doing some light work at the church. Susan started removing carpet from the aisles and alter, while I spent time in the belfry removing bat poop and closing the louvres for winter.

The bell is certainly an impressive artifact, in good working condition. It appears to be a complete swinging bell with yoke, A-frame stands, wheel, clapper, and toller; similar to many Meneely Bells found in thousands of belfries worldwide.
