Capital Campaign Construction

(click photos to enlarge)	Preliminary to working on the pews, the hymnals are stacked in the chancel area.
Pews in various stages of undress. Below the foam is revealed. To the right cotton padding in the seat is seen under the red velvet. Also noticeable is the velvet remaining at the top.

	Upholstery is secured far under the seat of the pew (above). Some of the nails and staples here will actually be ground off with a grinder.
Wooden strips securing the velvet are removed (above) from the back of the pews to allow the top upholstery to be pulled loose (right).
	The strips are then carefully cleaned of nails (left) and stacked for use later with the new upholstery (below).

	Pews totally stripped to the bare wood. Please, pastor, keep the sermon short.
