Progress & The Week Ahead:
This week we saw the successful installation of exterior
wall niches including stone granite niche fronts and wall
caps by Eickhof Columbaria. Taking all their tools,
supplies and equipment back with them we now
prepare for stonework to begin. Great progress also
continued at the Eickhoff fabrication facility as interior
niche components have been assembled and fitted
properly. At the same time this week we saw
Adirondack Stone Quarry cut and fabricate to size
beautiful stone granite for use at Holy Mount.
Preparation continues this week ahead to receive the
stone and begin the next phase of installation work.

Happy Friday!! The first photo is a plan view that our

photos in different stages of completion. Obviously,
the ones marked done are taken down, fronts crated

"I have attached 3 photos of niche cabinets with fronts
being installed. We have even started to crate up a
couple of the completed walls shown in these photos to
make room for more cabinets to be set up. Work is
progressing nicely."
Fay - Eickhof
And... "Here are a couple of photos of all the
capstones for this project." (Pictured to the right)
02-12-2021
The Week Ahead: Update
- Progress will continue at Eickhoff's indoor facility
where Niche Fronts arrived and fabrication
continues.
"The good news is that we received 1,000 – 12x12
niche fronts yesterday. It was a total of 5 crates of
stone as the photos show above. In the second photo,
it is only the crate on the bottom that is for The Holy
Mount project. It was about -20 degrees yesterday
when this load of stone came in. The stone was so
cold that we couldn’t do anything with it yesterday. It is
interesting when it is this cold because as the stone
warms up, it actually forms a thin layer of ice on it.
Since our shop works 4 – 10 hour days so they will be
processing all of these fronts on Monday. The first
step is to get the crates all in one spot and open up
each one. We then check the stone for size accuracy
and quality. Once this is started and there are some
fronts checked in, we will get to slotting the back side
and attaching hardware. I will take photos throughout
this next week so that you can see the different steps
of this process".
