The steel frame of the steeple base weighs 23,000 pounds and was welded together onsite. A crane is preparing to lift the base onto the top of the tower for placement.
The base is lifted a few feet off the ground and a team is making sure that all of the feet are clean and level so that it sits properly on top of the tower. The pointed piece of the steeple (seen in the blog post prior to this one) will be placed on top of this section and then our cross will be put in place at the Topping Off Ceremony this afternoon at 3pm.
