Observations:::
This week, I report from a construction site walk with Chris Achenbach. Wood framing has begun on the 6th and last floor of RiverClay. The views from the top are spectacular! They have started framing two of the units on the north side while four units to the south still need flooring. The south CMU stair tower is also topping out at the 6th Floor. Metal pan stairs are installed up to the 3rd Floor. Above that, access is by step ladder going up the future trash chute. Exterior sheathing is complete up to the 5th Floor. Inside the building, interior wood stud framing is complete up to the 5th Floor. They are finishing up the metal stud framing on the 1st and 2nd Floors. They are installing the interior plumbing and junction boxes starting at the 3rd Floor. The 1st Floor has brick on the west side. Deck railing has started to be installed on the east side. Windows have started arriving on site and are being stored in the garage areas.

Flai Notes:::
While I tried to take some photos of individual units by request, the lighting and wall layout did not allow for any good results worth posting. I'll try taking more in a couple weeks. Another item of note is that they are using flexible plastic tubing for most of the interior plumbing--the exact name of the item escapes me. This will help with the acoustics and any pipe knocking in the building.
