The Thompson Flats- Into the Last Month

The sheetrock guys finished the entire building in less than 4 days, which was really impressive. The painters came and primed all of the walls over the weekend, so now we're really racing to finish. There were almost 20 guys working in the building together this week. By my count, we had 4 roofers, 3 carpenters, 3 floor installers, 3 concrete guys, 2 welders, 3 painters, 1 tile guy and 2 helpers in the house on Friday alone.

This is the current status of unit 2. They finished the hardwood floors yesterday in this unit and were working in the top unit today. The floors are unfinished white oak, which will be stained a dark coffee color and then finished.

All of the interior doors are installed and most of the trim. This is the penthouse unit. We have a big pile of floors sitting in the kitchen, just waiting to be installed.

This is the first floor. We have glass transoms above all of the bedrooms and most of the bathrooms. They really do a great job of making the space feel huge.

Outside, the roofers were wrapping the bayfront windows with metal flashing. The first floor is done- we went with a dark brown to match the windows.

The steps to the basement and the front patio were poured at the beginning of the week. Here Mateo is removing the wood frames used to form each step.

It was 103 degrees multiple days this week and the workers had to do everything possible to try to stay cool. Gomez brought this sombrero, which looked pretty funny but probably really helped to block the sun.
