1133 6th St- Almost Ready For Sheetrock

Our condo project is moving along at a great rate. I was shooting to have the drywall up this week, but we still had a million little things to do, so it got pushed back until later this week, if not the beginning of next week. Things look really good and I can't wait to get the sheetrock up so we really start forging ahead.

The sign went in last week in the front yard. The rendering looks awesome.



The front windows all arrived and the trim is finished. It just needs to be painted. It is an exact match of the historic trim that was on the building when it was originally built, including the transoms above the front glass.



This is from several weeks ago, but I realized I never posted pictures of the radiant floor before we poured the slab. We attached the pex tubing to wire mesh, which worked well. The radiant floor will be enough heat to use as the primary source of heating, but this unit will also have central heat and air.




Here's the basement a few days ago. It was a madhouse trying to get everything done before the sheetrock.



Also finished is the spray foam insulation. This stuff is so much more effective than really any other method for insulating exterior walls. We did all the front and back walls, including the ceiling of the building.



This is a typical wall after the installation:



And here is the roof:




This is what the front pitched roof looks like from the outside. The shingles look awesome and are the same color as the new slate roof in the front of the building, which will be finished this week.



Today we finished framing and pouring the front steps to access the basement unit. They are nice and wide.
