...and here is Page 7 of construction....

Lighting has been installed in the Convent and ajoining church. A creek runs between the buildings with a foot bridge crossing over it. The

Nuns and Priests can use that bridge and another rock bridge that leads to the church. There is also a rock gate near the church.

Additional street lights have been installed and more building light cords have been brought up through the holes in the boards.

Buildings are moved from one spot to another to allow access to areas being worked on.

Not the best shot, but this is my 'Worm'. When Papa can't get to an area under the boards, we call in reinforcements! She is always

happy to help.

This is a labor of love. What a treat...making snow fall.

Gee, she can even do it standing up!

This is our newest piece for this year. Shelly's Diner. Purchased as my birthday gift from my wonderful wife.

As we previously mentioned, buildings are tried in various locations before the final placement is made. Before the diner was near the

hospital. We have now moved it to where the bank had been placed. This is a highter location and allows for the inside details to be

seen better. The bank will be put where the firestation was located and the firestation where New Hope Church had been originally.

New hope was moved to the Fisherman's Nook location and so on. Whew, makes me tired just remembering what we did!

Oh by the way. Rosita's which was next to Shelly's Diner will be exchanged locations with Rockabilly Records.

Another view.

And this is the new location for the firestation.

Overview of where we are at present

Other area.

Well, it seems to be coming together quite nicely. I was worried that we would not be finished by Thanksgiving Weekend. I'm sure we will

be done by then. Cross your fingers....or better yet....say a few prayers for us!
