During the architect's inspect-
ion of the project it was dis-
covered that the drainways
were totally deteriorated.
The wood frames were so
rotted that the drainways had
collapsed.
As the wood frame was un-
covered it became apparent
why the drainway had col-
lapsed.
In one section only four sup-
ports were intact.
The old copper liner and
rotted frame were removed.
The stone ledge had to be re-
paired before the frame could
be rebuilt.
The ledge was repaired and
anchor bolts were set in the
stone.
The back wall was rebuilt.
After the ledge and back wall
were rebuilt the framework for
the dainway was started.
The new fascia was installed
and the ice damaged slate
were removed.
The framework was lined with
ice and water shield.
The drainway frame has been
rebuilt and is ready for the
copper liner.
The copper liner was installed.
Ice guard was installed above
the drainway.
New slate were installed over
the ice guard.
New copper tins and counter
flashing were installed at the
walls.
Snowrails were installed to
protect the new drainway and
pedestrians from ice and snow
slides.
The restored drainways on the
east side of the church.
Two completed drainway sect-
ions seen from the scaffolding.
The new snowrails hold back
the snow and let it melt slowly
without damaging the drainway.
A wood base was fastened
to the anchor bolts.
Initially snowrails were not in-
stalled above the west drainway.
After the first winter snowrails
were added.
This project involved rebuild-
ing the drainways, replacing
ice damaged slate and instal-
ling snowrails.
