Judge a book by its cover

From the outside, were doing great. From the front it is clear that the glass curtain is almost complete (pun intended), and the window mechanisms are installed.

Behind the scenes, things are moving along as well. The electrician has been hired, and air-conditioning is scheduled to begin shortly.

The Glass is Half Full

Fast Forward...Today marks an important day...the first visible signs of progress! Behind the green wooden walls a lot has been done. A very difficult hole was dug in the basement and a sewer ejector installed. The dirt basement was trenched and all sewer lines laid down. Throughout the building the fresh water pipes have been 80% completed. The elevator shaft has been plumbed. The fire extinguisher system is being tested, and repairs made.

here is a few pictures of the visible action: Front Glass being installed. My new hard hat was a comforting prescence, though i stood there only long enough to take the picture.





Welcome to our project

This is my first post on the 205 North 7 Project, but not my first day on the job. On June 19 I stepped on to the site for the first time. It was a majestic yet dismal view. Steel and bare studs greeted me with a sad smile. Waiting, neglected for roughly 7 years, they stood steadfast in the hope that someone would come to their aid. Then on the beautiful summer morning we walked through the doorway with blueprints and determination.
