Ceiling Raised at Mother Church

Temporary framing being used to raise and support original bead board ceiling.

Over the past several days, General Contractor Danny Hurt and his careful restoration crew have been busy raising the 1883 ceiling back to its original position overlooking the sanctuary of historic Union Missionary Baptist Church. Via the skillful use of ladders, jacks, and various sized timbers, Hurt is raising the sagging bead boards and securing them with heavy duty but temporary framing. Later, after roof joists are repaired above, the bead boards will be permanently reattached to them and the framing will be removed.

According to Hurt, once the bead boards are reattached to the roof joists, they will be repainted to match the original sky blue color that resides under the green paint that covers them now.
