It was a good week. In the blink of an eye, the spaces start to take shape. The framing has been going up quickly, followed by some of the gypsum board (sheetrock) on one side, so plumbing and electrical work can be done on the opposite side.
Romy and his crew, Hanson and Jacquie Chan (even Romy doesn't know his real name), completed all the plumbing connections in the ceiling of the floor below us. Some of this is really trial and error. The water supply line turned out not to have any water in it and one wet core drilling of the slab found some live, buried electrical conduits. Romy made his way around all of these obstacles. This is some of the joy of working in an old building.
This is the view from the living room toward the bath/closet volume, sleeping area on the left. Eventually a sliding door will close off the sleeping space.
As the contractors patched up the holes they made in the apartment below, Steve and I did more demolition for our downstairs neighbor. She comes back this Tuesday, and will hopefully be happy with the progress in her place. Next week, I will post some of the drawings of the place.
