I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. BBUILD_161015_046.JPG: The National Cathedral For over ten years, Wagner Roofing has been involved with maintaining the cathedral roof as well as the roofs on many other buildings on the 57 acres. Wagner recently replaced the flat roof over the Rare Book Library on the southwest side of the cathedral, as well as a corresponding roof on the northwest wing. In addition, Randy Herald, a Wagner employee, continuously monitors the cathedral's numerous downspouts, which over time tend to sag, buckle and split. When downspouts are due for replacement, he duplicates the look of the original. Last year, Joe Alonso, The Cathedral Stone Mason who helped to set the final stone contacted Chuck Wagner to devise a lasting solution to a problem that had vexed the cathedral's overseers for several years. The lead roof, in the area where the central tower meets the north and south transepts, had been repaired with an EPDM patch and was in need of a permanent repair. Chuck was able to devise a solution that had Randy Herald removing the EPDM and installing ice and water shield and then replacing the roof with new batten-seam lead roofing. As Alonso sai, "He matched the original 1930s lead roof beautifully. And look at the soldering -- this should last 100 plus years."

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
