Twenty years ago David Stauch led the team that completely renovated the capitol building, and now he's at it again.

Stauch is taking charge of completing the renovations at the Capitol building. He led a tour Wednesday describing how the renovation is more than just maintenance work.

"The project we are doing right now is simply a maintenance project that you would do to your house, only not so often, and in this case 20 years later," Stauch said.

In order to complete the job, Stauch's crew erected scaffolding hundreds of feet in the air.

"This is not a high-tech project. The mechanization involved in this work is the lift behind me and not much else. There is a lot of hard work. You can see the boards being lifted up hand over hand up the building's frame," Stauch said.

The men are staying safe though.

"Everyone is tied off. It's not quite the high-wire act you had building the empire state building back in the 1920s. The contractors have all been carefully trained in safety techniques, and we are trying to make sure nobody gets injured," Stauch said.

So far no one has been injured and the work goes on, even inside the building.

"What we are doing here is a full lead abatement of the ceiling, and then we will replace the missing pieces and repaint the white background and the gold items," Stauch said.

There are 204 pendants that need to have their paint removed, cleaned and repainted.

Tearing down the scaffolds is expected to be completed in less than four weeks.
