9/17 Update

Wednesday morning and a lot of action on the site. Crews have completed paint encapsulation on the courtyard side of units FG and are following the caulk removal crews to start painting on courtyard DE.

We've started caulk removal on courtyard ABC and expect these units to be covered and the courtyard inaccessible for the next two weeks, though we will probably be able to grant weekend access to the courtyard doors.

We'd like to be able to provide detailed notices on door closings, but this is tough given the degree of work ongoing. For the most part, we will be working in the courtyard for the next few weeks and everyone should expect most access to be limited on the courtyard side during this period.

The biggest news is that we've started installing the metal flashing on the side of courtyard units HJK. This work is a change from the original workplan and is being completed as an aesthetic component of the final program. Unfortunately, the installation of the flashing requires mechanical attachments that use screws drilled into the brick face. This is very loud and will be noticeable.

I'll be at tomorrow's town hall meeting and available for questions, and as always please feel free to stop by the trailer and to meet at any time.
