Today was one of those days when I rode to Jacksonville with Truett because our crew was installing a stained glass window at Arlington United Methodist Church; and more specifically because Truett needed a driver on the way home.
I took my camera in hopes of photographing something interesting or pretty or weird. And after all is said and done, I came home with a story about the real world. The world where everything is in place and then there's a chink.
When we arrived at the church our crew was on the inside of the church while a contractor was on the outside of the church spraying water on the outside plate glass window.
It seems there were leaks in the frames.
NOT GOOD!
Not good at all because Advent Glass Works, Inc. couldn't do their job if the frame guy didn't do his job correctly.
That's when I realized taking photographs of my day wandering around in a church was my only possibility of photographic material.
Blah!
Not my kind of fun!
So to find the leaks, someone had to spray water on the outside to see if there were leaks on the inside.
And the watering of the windows began.
All leaks had to be found.
There were discussions about where the leaks came from.
Twenty minute discussions.
Twenty minute discussions of pointing and saying, "Uh, huh. . .Up there. Over there."
By now I'm getting pretty antsy because that is way too much discussion. Just call the frame guy!!! (A woman would say!)
Finally, the frame guy came (with an attitude, I might add.)
So to kill time. . .precious time. . .
Our guys brought in a panel to check measurements until the frame guys "got it right!".
Finally, our crew left and the frame guys stayed.
Now I'm wondering if I have to go back tomorrow.
I hope not!
I don't like chinks!
