Back door Slider

After a long cold day, the huge slider is installed at 103. It makes such a difference with the noise and cold air. It really is starting to feel enclosed and more like house. The electricians have run most of the conduit, and the plumbers are finishing up the water lines. A great week of work. Next week we should be moving over to 101.

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2011 - here is how the houses stand.

You can really see the layering of the materials.

Sealing it up!

The front windows are going in this week. The rear windows are all in (except at the stair).

Shed a little light

The sidewalk shed was removed on Monday and now there is so much more light on the 1st floor. This is especially good with the short gray days.

New Perspective

John visited our neighbors construction project and took these great aerial photos.

Look Mom, no scaffolding!

On Friday as we were busy placing the electrical outlets and the framers were framing out the 3rd floor, the masons finished the last of the cementboard that required the scaffolding. Now they are placing the last of the cementboard that is at the level of the sidewalk shed and below. We are really anxious for the sidewalk shed to come down too. Soon.

What a week!

Plumbers ran the tubing for the radiant floor heating.The framers followed framing the 3rd and 4th floors of 103 Boerum Place. I had marked all the walls and door openings with blue masking tape ahead of time, so that they had lines to follow.This is the bathroom door and walk-in closet door standinge in the Master Bedroom. I had also marked all the electrical outlets so that John & I could attach the boxes. The electricians will come once all the walls are framed.

The plumbers also attached all the rough-ins for the wall mounted toilets on the 3rd and 4th floors.

While all this was happening inside, the sun was shining and the masons were continuing the cement fiber board. The scaffolding is down and only the sidewalk shed is left. I will post an image of that this weekend.
