Wow! Amazing things are happening at the temple site. (Should we call it Temple Square?) The exterior panels are being placed and it is making the temple look like a temple really fast.
Big D brought in one of the biggest cranes I have ever seen (I know I need to get out more) to lift the concrete panels into place. I was able to see some of them hoisted off the truck and attached to the front of the temple.
I hope you enjoy watching the progress as much as I do! I also met some fans of my blog this morning while I was taking these photos. They said nice things about the blog, so thanks to all my readers!!!

| This panel weighs 16,500 pounds! |

| These bolts hold the exterior panels in place |
 |
| This impromptu notch in the backside of this panel corresponds with the cut the workers made in the steel beam. Notice the debris where the notch was chiseled out. |

| Someone apparently made a miscalculation and the workers had to cut this beam so the exterior panel would fit |
