Wood Sealer, Drywall and Build-out

The interior wood timbers were coated with a clear sealer. The process deepened the wood color just slightly and really brought out the grain to give a rich appearance. 90% of the shell drywall is complete. The North, South, and East walls all received double layer drywall for more noise reduction. The electrical and mechanical build-out work has begun.

Insulation - Flash & Batt



The insulation of the walls has begun. The envelop is receiving a 1" foam insulation with an R-11 value and an additional 6" of batt insulation equivalent to R-19, for a total around R-30. This is being done for both energy efficiency and noise reduction. The impact was immediately noticeable.

Concrete Complete


The concrete cap is complete and the floor is uniform across the entire building. The finish turned out great, and the reflectivity and uniformity makes the space feel really large. Once it is sealed, it should really shine.

East Side Glow


With all of the windows in on the East side of the building, the sun reflects off of the wood roof deck creating a great, warm glow.

South End Progress


Entry location change and canopy on the South End now complete.

Concrete Pour



The concrete pour for the west half of the building started today. Roof trim work is nearing completion and all of the windows are in. Building is now DRY!

Roof, Siding, and Windows





The roof work has begun, windows are being installed and siding is nearing completion. The building will be dried in very soon, so that the interior construction can begin. The ceiling is being insulated from above the deck. We are installing ISO board insulation onto the existing deck and then "rebuilding" the new deck on top of the ISO. Once complete, it will be a well insulated, efficient system, while preserving the original wood slat roof structure from the inside. We have had a good stretch of dry weather, hopefully it will continue for about 2 more weeks.
