1449 Harvard St NW- Almost Topped Out

The addition at Harvard Row is almost complete.  The final stage is framing the roof, which we hope to complete in the next few days.  The addition was a massive undertaking.  Between the excavation, new foundation, concrete work, and framing, we basically built a new house.  The addition is over 3000 SF, which would be a massive house on it's own.  When you add that to the 4000 SF of existing space in the original house, you can really grasp how large these units will be once complete.

Here's the rear addition from the alley.

The rear level of unit 2 has tons of light.

Most of the units in the building are in this condition.  They are all framed, but we're waiting to finish the roof to run any electric, mechanical or plumbing.  The goal is to start early next week.

The two-level rear unit is huge- almost 1250 SF.

The new building will be about 4 feet taller than the old one.  Here, you can see the block walls are in place, but the old roof hasn't been removed yet in the front of the house.  That will come out next week.
Framing out the final floor.

The sunny weather yesterday was incredible, especially after all the rain the day before.
