Due to my cleaning assignment I was actually already in a white jumpsuit that belonged to the temple (rather than my own white clothing), so I had no need to change. It was interesting to see the work uniforms of the various custodians and engineers. Every single one was white. jane: No joke.

You had to change into the white clothes to tear up the tiles? Umm...yeah, that is a little much. Seriously?! You had to change into the white clothes to tear up the tiles?

We've been cleaning and unpacking, thus my absence. Geoff: It was fascinating to see all the processes in place. The temple works a little bit differently after the last patrons go home (actually, some were still leaving through the downstairs entry as we cleaned). Ardis: I hadn't consciously made the connection to the law of consecration, but I'm glad you did because I've wanted to do better in this area. Thank you. Brian: There is some fascinating and untold history in these buildings, so it is a treat to see a bit of it. Bruce, Michelle, and Marsha: :) Hi, all.

You brought back many memories from when I worked in the Mesa Temple as a security guard. I witnessed a major renovation of the Mesa Temple back in the mid 90s. It was fun to watch how the work progressed, and to see the original black and white tile in the endowment rooms. Excellent post, Ben!

What a way to consecrate your labor. What a beautifully written post, especially in your connection to past generations of temple builders. What a way to consecrate your labor.

You've answered my question. I love that you were wearing white while doing it. Ben, I’ve often wondered how the temple is cleaned and how such demolition work is done. You’ve answered my question.
