Mission Accomplished

Now that the stage is set for taking the HVAC unit aloft, we can follow its progress in photos (if they end up in reasonable order). This first unit is going to the Heritage Hall roof and will serve the gym and annex. The men are waiting there as it arrives. The next unit to go up is the one for the lobby and theater, and will rest on the roof of the former. As it arrives, the men are there to pull it into place with the ropes that have been attached, and of course, the signal man is at the edge of the parapet to give hand signals to the crane operator. The men at the ropes are having a hard time because the roof surface is covered with a thin layer of ice, and so they are doing quite a bit of sliding around. Last minute checks can finally be made by a brave man willing to get below the unit and look up into it. When all is ready, the huge unit will be laid to rest on the framework visible below it. Mission accomplished, but it will take awhile yet.
