Building the Sacristy

Half of what was the chapel will become the new sacristy.

Last summer this area was closed up, but
 work has been in earnest there lately.

 The construction of a wall started at the top.

 
 
 
 
A lot of the work in the last few days has
 focused on the plumbing in the sacristy.

The sacristy will feature a sacrarium, which means some work in the basement as well. A sacrarium is drain that empties directly into soil and is used for disposing of water used to wash sacred items. So a hole has been cut into the basement floor and more work will need to be done so water can drain easily into the ground below the church.
