PROJECT UPDATE (3.28.2016):

The finishing phase of the project is in full swing. The first sequence of the PAINTING contractors work is 75% complete. This phase entails surface preparation work, priming, patching and the first finish coat. The TILE contractor has completed their first sequence and return to the job once cabinets (bath vanity and kitchen cabinets) are installed. As with the rest of the trades, they will work from south to north. The DRYWALL contractor has finished their initial phase and returns when we are ready to infill the construction break-thru’s that temporarily link the units. The HVAC contractor is about 50% complete. The furnaces have been set, flue piping installed and much of the exposed ductwork has been hung. The ORNAMENTAL IRON contractor started steel stair/loft rail installation at the beginning of last week and is also well underway.

NEXT…PAINTING, HVAC, TILE and ORNAMENTAL IRON continue their rotation. FLOOR finishing (low VOC epoxy over existing concrete first floor) starts at the south end of the project this week. CABINETRY is delivered mid-week followed by CARPENTRY installation. The CONCRETE contractor also starts units 1- 3 entries, exterior ADA ramp and aluminum skin related concrete elements…lotsa stuff.

  1. I live in Madagascar ( East Africa),and life is worth living comfortably for me and my family now and really have never seen goodness shown to me this much in my life as I have been going through a problem as seriously as my son found a terrible accident last two weeks, and the doctors states that he needs to undergo a delicate surgery for him to be able to walk again and I could not pay the bills, then your surgery went to the bank to borrow and reject me saying that I have no credit card, from there i run to my father and he was not able to help, then when I was browsing through yahoo answers and i came across a loan lender Mr, Benjamin Breil Lee, offering loans at affordable interest rate I had no choice but to give it an attempt and surprisingly it was all like a dream, I got a loan of $ 110,000.00 to paid for my son surgery then get myself a comfortable business to help me going as well. I  thank God today is good and you can walk and is working and the burden is longer so much on me more and we can feed well and my family is happy today and i said to myself that I will mourn aloud in the world of the wonders of God to me through this God fearing lender  Mr Benjamin Breil Lee and I would advise anyone in genuine and serious need of loan to contact this God-fearing man on  ......  247officedept@gmail.com through .. and I want you all to pray for this man for me or Chat with him on whatsapp  +1-989-394-3740 as well.
    Thank you
