The interior of the chapel is finished . . .






with the exceptions of a few paint touch-up, finishing the laying of the rug, and adding a few more things that would come under the rough heading of decorating. The pictures tell it pretty well except for the color - it looks gray but it's not and, in fact, the color turned out really well. We're happy with it and hope it won't be too long before each of you can visit. The spring trees make the exterior look different too so I included an exterior picture. The little slot that you see in the "altar" in front of the cross is for the prayer box that Bev asked for. The altar is just a narrow table that will be a place for the cross, a bible, and a candle stand. There is an altar rail in front of it and even a little kneeler. There is a bench on both sides - each would accommodate two people so there could easily be a gathering of four. It proved to be an excellent project for using up leftover oak trim from the house that I still had in the shop. Daniel used the word "elegant" and I think I'm happy with that. And, for what it's worth, Daniel and Alex did everything associated with the roof, I did the rest. That's why it took so long!

JUST BEAUTIFUL! You did a wonderful job and it looks like a very peaceful place. What a nice addition to Wildernest. I can't wait to see it.
