Building Update

I had the opportunity to go out to the site and take some picture.  Below is a description:

As John and I were having lunch we talked about the progress.  In Johns terminology there is not a lot of show work going on.  I mentioned that it took a long time to get the permits and everything but once we got started there was a lot of work being done seemingly overnight.  Then we hit a speed bump so to speak and it seems like nothing is getting done.  John said that’s what he meant by show work.  When the bad weather hits it seems like nothing is getting done because the roofers and brick work grinds to a halt.

I was amazed when I walked into the building.  While the roof still needs to be installed they have been doing some work on the interior.  The last time I was inside it was just concrete with a lot of water on the floor.  Now they have the duct work installed, the sprinklers in place, half of the walls are studded out, ComEd was working out on 183^rd and by the west side of the building with one worker on the inside cutting pipe. 

While it looks like , from the outside, that not much work is going on, I was pleasantly surprised how much work has been completed on the inside since the last time I went inside.
