Friday 9/19 Update

It's the weekend and we'll be out of your hair - please enjoy the peace and quiet. We've installed the metal flashing on the courtyard side of units HJK so all should be able to get a sense of what the final product will look like. Probably no Pritzker prize coming soon, but it's looking better.

A few have moved some belongings back onto your balconies. We're not done with them and will be returning to clean and/or cover with epoxy, so please do not move any materials that cannot be easily moved back indoors in the coming weeks.

We're almost done removing caulk and are progressing with paint, metal flashing and caulk replacement around the inside of the courtyard. As we complete these steps in the courtyard we will be returning to the streetside to finish paint on the bricks and install flashing and final caulk.

All streetside entrances are open and almost all courtyard sides are open this weekend. We could not open courtyard ABC this weekend as the exposed contaminated materials are still adjacent to those doors, but this should be complete by next weekend.

I apologize for the excessive noise and drilling that has been taking place, but this is required for concrete testing and for installing the metal flashing. It's loud, but in fairly short bursts.

Please email or call with any comments or questions. I'm in the trailer and around, and can meet you after hours or in your offices during the workday if that would be more convenient.

Richard
