Photo History of Phoenix Temple

Attending the fireside tonight made me realize I haven't posted updated temple construction photos since February.  I have been a bit preoccupied with college, but here are the latest photos.  I mentioned some of them in my summary of the fireside

This shows the "big hole" for the font that fascinated the construction workers.

If that is the hole for the Celestial Room, it must be MUCH bigger than it looks!

View from hill to the south of the temple site.  Compared to the cars, the temple is looking pretty tall!

I think I must have had the font on my mind when selecting photos!  But seeing how the workers would have to walk around the giant hole while completing other tasks, I can see why it was such a hot topic of conversation.

A group of us were talking after the fireside and one man said he went on a tour of the temple site.  These bolts cost $5 each and there are about 60,000 of these bolts in the temple construction plans.

Pre-formed stairs - how clever!

That green fence is about 6 feet tall.  I know, because last fall I tried to take a picture from the outside and couldn't see over it.

I'm getting excited to see the completion of the temple.  How about you?
