Looks like landscaping is underway with site-round concrete flatwork and courtyard pavers all complete, along with finished cabinets in A1 & A2. Steel pair parts for the A buildings are set for delivery and install next week with tile and wood flooring already in progress. Underground garage venting has 25% of work left to go and hollow metal doors will be arriving next week.

All appliances for Buildings B & C have been delivered and electric trim is complete. Soil is being placed in all planters with irrigation lines near completion and roof top cedar decking as well as paver installation are both in progress. We’ve also made headway on Building C’s door and millwork paint and taping in Buildings A1 & A2 is about 75% finalized, drywall hanging is all set. We’re seeing continued advancement on mechanical venting and fans in the parking garage and the underground garage doors have been installed. Once we’ve completed the balance of curb and sidewalk removal we will usher in new curb and sidewalks in a timely fashion.

Hang tight, we’ll get there soon.

Whew, Winston! Moving along: 

Insulation is complete throughout Buildings A1 & A2 while drywall installation is good to go. Over at Building B, bathroom tile is completely installed and we’re making good headway on both interior finishes and wood flooring installation. Countertops and cabinets are completed in Building C with trims on site and wood flooring prepped to go.

Where site work is concerned, gas pipes are installed and pedestals installation is next in line. 

That’s all for this month! Someone feed Winston some grapes and tell him he’s pretty.
