The Thompson- Lots of Progress

The Thompson at 2108 10th St NW is really starting to take shape.  Over the last two weeks, we finished the foundation work, basement plumbing, and about 1/3 of the floor framing.  We're working now to get in the next level of floor framing and finish the new water service to the street.  We anticipate finishing this building in early April- just in time for the spring.

Last week, we filled in the basement with gravel and ran the new plumbing.

We ordered a pump truck to pump the concrete from the street down into the basement.

The concrete is wet and heavy when it is first poured.  After several hours of leveling it and smoothing it over, it forms a solid floor.

After the basement slab was poured, we framed the first floor.

This weekend, the masons returned to build the block walls up to the second level.
