Dan and Paul got their pillars in place Saturday and they are quite impressive. They worked their butts off to get them in place and I am actually really impressed that they managed to get them in at all. Every so often I would walk outside and see the two of the prying with bars and blocking and hoisting and I felt grateful to not be involved. Seriously, they had to slip these nine-foot monstrosities in between a concrete slab and a porch roof with three inches to spare. It was amazing.
Now, walking in the front door of this house is like a religious experience. It's like entering the front door of King Solomon's Temple, which was flanked by two similar pillars named Joachim and Boaz. In Jewish mysticism, the Tree of Life was also flanked by the two same pillars. They are kind of like Yin and Yang, representing the positive and negative, respectively; or more accurately, "mercy" and "severity". Quite impressive.
