Tuesday at Logan Utah

I spent all day completely unable to get into a groove. I worked on the grounds, then suddenly was able to tweak some things on the Temple itself for about an hour before my mind completely shut down for the evening. I have to go to bed now, but you can stay up if you want. I roughed in the annex, and fixed some of the courses of sandstone (In architectural terms, a course refers to a row of stones. This temple has multiple “belt courses” which are the sandstone section of trim that surround the temple.

Fun fact that is even true if I am not too asleep yet. The intricately carved portions of this temple were made from sandstone, while the bulk of the walls are a lava rock, the darker stone. Originally the temple was covered in a white wash making it look more like Saint George. However the white wash reportedly had a bit to much red dirt in it, and instead of the temple being white, it had a slight pink tinge to it. Eventually the wash started to flake off, and the decision was made to let it, leaving the temple as we see it today.
