PROJECT UPDATE (7.25.2017):
            
INTERIOR/EXTERIOR DEMOLITION is 99% complete. SAWCUTTING of the existing interior concrete floor for underground PLUMBING system is also past tense. Concurrently, CONCRETE demolition work with slab removal in the west addition has been completed. MASONRY, underground PLUMBING, ORNAMENTAL IRON and the new 1200 amp ELECTRIC service are in full swing since the project is large enough for multiple trades on site. The CARPENTERS are working on the exterior infill framing and roof preparation so we are enclosed and water tight for winter.

*MATT has revised the projects critical path which has put us 2 weeks ahead of schedule.

NEXT…MORE of same.


Enjoy the photos and video…ANDY
