Building a new foundation

The building where we are located is an old Methodist church dating back to the early-mid 1800's.
So needless to say, it's OLD. Unfortunately-some of it's caretakers have not fulfilled their duty in terms of maintenance and have even caused considerable damage and harm to what was once a beautiful structure.
We have tried to "give back" some of what the building once had- although the original stained glass has all been stripped away, the bell is gone, the pews etc...
we're trying to put her back together again- not in the "historical" sense- but in a respectful and cared for way.
We have combined some of the old with some of the new to create a tasteful backdrop for the gallery- and I must say it's beautiful.
I think she likes it too.
The building is a "feel good place" to be.
Yesterday, we repaired the crumbling foundation-pouring new concrete walls and repaired the front entry stairs. One step at a time (literally...).
Thanks to Danny-our Hero-
for all of his efforts and help- we couldn't do it without you.
