I will always remember listening to the conversation of two women behind me as we walked up to the Cathedral. One woman was very upset that they hadn't built the towers identical. "Why didn't they make them symmetrica?"l. They just went on and on about how it was so wrongly designed. Obviously they had not studied their history first.

I will always remember overhearing a conversation between two ladies behind us as we walked up the Chartres Cathedral. One was very upset that the two towers were so different. "They are supposed to be symmetrical, why would anyone make them so different." They just went on and on about how it was so terribly designed. Obviously they had not studied their history first.

I guess everything is on the internet now. Including tiny rural churches. Yep. Another renovation. Now it's symmetrical - no towers at all! Actually a nice renovation visually. Solving some things that annoyed me about the first roof pitch change. And they've changed the name again - reverted to admitting they are Presbyterian!

Lighter, thanks for the info. Bet you got nostalgic looking at your old church.
More progress. Completed the roofing all around. And the north portal of the transept. A problem here. The balcony shown earlier is very delicate and does not stand up to much punishment. To relieve the stress, I cut the lower ends of the pillars and plan to reattach them at a later date. In retrospect, it would have been better to attach these pieces at this stage of the construction rather than right at the beginning. Phil |

Life's been busy. My mom is not doing well. Haven't been able to work on the model. She's now at my brother's place giving my wife and me a respite for a short while.
Managed to complete the North Tower of the transept. Regards, Phil |

Another brief respite allowed me to complete the South Tower of the transept and the Chevet with its chapels and its roofing.

That's some beautiful detail work. Hope your Mom improves and that you're able to post again soon.
