Steeple Framework Staged at the Port Vila Vanuatu Temple Site
The steel framework for the steeple of the Port Vila Vanuatu Temple has been staged on site. The modules were secured to the foundation about six months ago, and windows were installed soon after. Three major buildings are part of the project: the temple, a meetinghouse, and a two-story ancillary building. The groundbreaking for the temple was held just over two years ago.
Domed Cupola Installed on the Fort Worth Texas Temple
The gold cupola for the Fort Worth Texas Temple was set in place atop the tower this morning, and the finial will soon follow. This brings the temple to its full height, marking an important construction milestone. The project began almost 19 months ago, and construction has progressed smoothly. The majority of the building has been clad in stone with only a few sections remaining.
Landscaping the Smithfield Utah Temple Grounds
Landscaping of the Smithfield Utah Temple grounds is progressing. The garden strips on either side of the property fence are being planted and covered with rocks. Mulch is being spread in the flowerbeds, and fence posts are being clad with ledge rock. On the west side of the temple—the last side to be clad—the stonework is about three-fourths of the way to the top. The temple has been under construction for almost three years.
Cladding the North Side of the Modesto California Temple
Stone cladding is moving up the east and north sides of the Modesto California Temple while work gets underway on the tower. On the interior, drywall has been hung in most of the rooms, and painting has begun. Crown moldings are also being installed. On the south side of the grounds, concrete is being poured for curbing, and on the north side of the grounds, trees are being established.
