Construction Progress- The Charles at 2431 Ontario Rd

Thanks to everyone who voted in our poll to help choose the backsplash.  We listened to the feedback and decided to do two kitchens with the white mosaic, and two kitchens with the grey glass.

The work is moving along nicely at The Charles.  We're shooting to finish by the second weekend in July, and it's going to be close.  We have all of our subcontractors working overtime to try to make this goal a reality.  People have already started to tour the units and demand is strong.

One of the biggest projects underway is the bathroom tile.  Our best tile installer flew all the way back to DC from Trinidad to finish the 9 bathrooms here.  Pretty impressive.

We used a new waterproofing system behind the tile called Kerdi.  It's much lighter and easier to work with than the normal cement board.

The kitchen cabinets upstairs are installed and look awesome. 

Jaye from Red House Staging came over to help us choose paint colors.  The three on the far left are for the exterior doors in the hallway.  The top three are bathroom options, and the rest are for the bedrooms.

The spiral steps to the roof deck are installed and look sharp.

The roof deck is finished and impressive.  Definitely the best place to watch fireworks this 4th of July.

Today, we sorted all the marble tile.  The ones on the bottom had defects so we're exchanging them for new ones.

Carlos, the floor installer, came today to install the edging on the mezzanine level.  Tomorrow, his full crew will come to lay the floor.
