3rd Floor Framing (2016-05-08)
The 3rd floor is the most advanced in the building, with lofts units being framed-out rapidly. While it’s still early, the high ceiling heights and beauty of the i-beams are now evident. The sub-floor-boards will be exposed in the ceilings. Click to enlarge. Photos by Barbara Hatch

As of late April, the subfloor replacement on floors 2-4 has continued. New, the roof deck is now being installed. Also, on the third floor you can see the first evidence of interior framing: the corridor with entrance doors is now being demised.

As of March 21, focus was on prepping the top floor: cleaning out the rotten roofing materials (to replace with a new roof); clearing the window openings, patching sub-flooring. Note a temporary staircase was built on the north facade in order to facilitate safe access.

Focus has been on demolition of unusable materials: the old roof, cutting away rotten parts of the sub-floor, removing windows.
