In April 2015, the choice was to replace the plaster or cathedral the ceiling. With a cathedral ceiling, it was possible to put a loft over the dining room. This allowed the blower to live in the loft and the hollow beam to carry wind from the blower to the instrument.	In May of 2016, the ceiling is completed with 1" aeromatic cedar. The floor is Blue Pearl. Hyrdonic heat runs along the back and left walls and in floor electric heat is installed. A separate mini-split air conditioner is placed overhead. The room has a new 100A box, ethernet, and full alarm. The non damaged pieces of the instrument on the right. The console, wind chests, and new pipes were purchased from a number of places.	The 16' Bourdon pedal pipes and the Plein Jeu IV.
In September 2017,the instrument is playable and the casework has begun.	This is not just a woodworking and plumbing project. More than 80k solder connections were required to make Cirah (the organ) sing again. This included a total refit of all the console electonics new midi drivers, and hand built connectors.	June 2019 Amplification for the instrument. Pioneer 7400 for Swell chute speakers Pioneer 9400 for the Choir speakers. Two Dynakit MK-IV tube amps for the great speakers.
