Construction Progress- The Charles at 2431 Ontario Rd NW

This week we got all of the little things completed inside so we put up the sheetrock starting tomorrow.  We obtained all of our close-in inspections on Thursday and Friday, so we've been given the OK to proceed with drywall.  It should take about 5-7 days to finish all of the drywall.  During this time, we're going to work on all of the exterior work.  This includes repairing the front brick, finishing the rear and roof decks, completing the retaining walls in the front, and painting the side block walls.  Lots to do.




The supply company came friday with the boom truck to bring all of the drywall into the building.  It was 550 sheets, which are each four feet tall by twelve feet wide.  Way to heavy to bring in by hand.


The front area is really shaping up.  On the left, you can see the trench where the footer will go to support the side retaining wall.



Inside, we finished the insulation.  We had a lot of bulkheads to finish before tomorrow, like this one around the ducts in the penthouse.

The roof membrane on the rear deck on the top level is finished and ready for decking.  Luckily it's not supposed to rain all week.
Here is the closeup of the existing cornice.  It's in bad shape.  I'm meeting tomorrow with our supplier to order the parts for the new cornice.
