The contractors worked hard over the entire Christmas break to (nearly) finish the exterior brick veneer and begin work on the roof trusses and flat roof framing. Work also continues on the interior, with a focus on the framing in the first floor lobby in preparation for the soon-to-be installed curtain wall mullions, and at the second floor with new rough mechanical, plumbing, and electrical work going in daily.

| The second floor is a very busy place now that we have a roof over it. |
It does look like a pretty busy sight. Once the roof is done, there would be less worry about rain and snow so work can be done in that floor. More importantly, it feels great to see such a big section of work done! The shape of the building is looking good.
