Tall Tales From the Cathedral Construction Site!

Tall Tales From the Cathedral Construction Site!

There's cathedral being renovated and the workers have rigged a cage or construction elevator so they can get materials up to the upper floor elevation.

Construction (LeoSynapse SXC)


A characteristic of these construction elevators is that the door or gate must be closed manually for them to be sent or called to another floor.

One day one of the construction workers, Peter, took the elevator to the top floor.  The Sexton was monitoring the construction and needed the elevator on the first floor.

Unfortunately, Peter forgot and left the door open.

After the Sexton rang for the elevator a couple times, with no response, he began yelling up to the worker.

So cathedral visitors were treated to the sight of the Sexton, his head tipped back and shouting to what looked like the heavens:  

"Peter CLOSE THE GATES!!!"


It's Monday, Smile & Share It!  Make This A Great Week!

Laura, I was wonder the same thing as Bill if there was too big of a crowd up above...but based on the way many people are these days I don't think so.
