Yawn… well this is a mundane post, ain’t it? Maybe so. There’s work going on over by the depots in town (one of which houses Sixth Street Spirits/Dime Box Distillery)… according to the Giddings Times & News, the lot is being paved. As long as I’ve been coming into Giddings, this parking lot has been

These pictures have been taken over the last week… they’ve been working toward pouring the slab and finally got that done this morning! Pastor Tiner gave me a heads-up that they would be doing it early in the morning, but for various reasons, I was unable to make it out before the pour was done.

This week has been pretty busy and I haven’t had an awful lot of a chance to get out and take pictures… but we did manage to make it by Immanuel to document the progress on the addition. Looks like they’re getting pretty close to pouring the slab! Pretty soon, I’ll be able to get

Yesterday I was out at Immanuel for about an hour. This time I got a timelapse of the last bit of cutting and then the removal of the last “chunk” of the tower for the day. They made a lot more progress this time… I suspect they’ll be able to wrap up the cutting part

The saga continues… Today they cut two more pieces out of the bell tower. I suspect this will probably go at least through Tuesday, if not into Wednesday of next week. Holes, Inc. out of Houston is doing the work cutting the concrete, and Ray’s Crane Service out of La Grange is taking the pieces

Thursday night (well, maybe early Friday morning… I’m in the midst of a “stay up late and do things” streak) I saw a post on the Immanuel Lutheran Church Facebook page announcing that the bell tower demolition would be moving forward today. I decided pretty quickly that I would pack up my laptop and cameras
