Observations:::
This is the first week that I have toured inside the building in a while so there is much progress to report. The First Floor retail spaces and fitness room are enclosed. The Second Floor units are mostly complete with drywall, taping, and mudding. The Third Floor is continuing to be drywalled. In the meantime, celloluse insulation is being pumped and sprayed into the walls where possible. This is mostly in all of the exterior walls and corridor walls. Unfortunately, since there is no backing in the demising walls between units, this method could not be used. The cellulose product excels in filling all of the gaps between the wall studs and has a slightly better R-value and provides better sound insulation than regular batt insulation. On the roof, the white EPDM membrane is in place. On the exterior, the brick is complete on the north elevation. The masons will move onto the east elevation next to maximize the available daylight hours. Stucco is being applied to the south elevation.

Observations:::
HAPPY 2008 to everyone! As the majority of the building exterior continues to be covered by plastic wrapping and scaffolding, there is not much visible progress to report from my last visit. What this means, though, is that most of the work is now being done in your units. I'll try to schedule another site walk soon so I can report from the interiors.
