Vanishing Scaffolding

The Great North Wall. April, 2014.

In April, 2014, I erected a scaffolding tower, with the expectation that I would begin painting the Great North Wall. An expectation which was, cruelly, dashed. And so the tower sat and sat and sat and was rained on and snowed on and heated and cooled. On and on and on. I never thought I would feel sorry for scaffolding. The poor dear.

But look! Most of the scaffolding is gone! Only one tier remains! Zounds!

 

In a week, the scaffolding should be gone...entirely!

    This made my day! Progress is not measured in speed, rather in direction…

    It’s happening. Restoration has it’s own time frame, another universe of sorts. Your clock has moved forward.

    I was reviewing these pictures and I got an idea. Once the rest of scaffolding is down, you should put a light in the telephone closet so we can see that beautiful shell!
