Sunday, 13 November

It has been an interesting week at Mount Carmel in a number of ways.  The steel frame is now up for the lower part of the building and we can have some sense of what it will look like.  The make the picture bigger just click on it.
Looking towards the front entrance of the new priory
You can now see how the new building fits onto the site and how tall the roofline is beside the chapel and cemetery.

The roofs of the oratory, library, foyer and meeting room
Also working away have been the electricians.  A big panel arrived and is being made ready by Pete and his co-workers to be commissioned.  It will handle the distribution of electricity into both the retreat centre, chapel, novitiate and new priory.  We are set to be connected on 21 February.  The brickies are set to arrive on 17 November to begin work.  Things are moving, and a lot of the developments now are above ground.
