An official insurance drawing of the Church of the Transfiguration from March 22, 1896.

The sacristy of the Church of the Transfiguration in January 2018. Water damage has collapsed the ceiling, floor and walls.

 

The Arches are infused with metal.  This means we cant cut through them with a normal chainsaw.   We found that a beefy Mikita 15 amp reciprocating saw and a Yamaha generator does the trick reasonably well.  1/26/18.

chainsaws work for some of the less integrated wood. We like to wear full hazmat gear. Safety First!
