Construction crews finally installed the insulation in our entry way along with new drywall that's now all patched up! It's nice to finally have insulation again now that spring is coming up. I mean, it's not like I needed it December and January when we were having record low temps.
And the new windows are really nice too! The new skylights will look great once I can look up and see the sky instead of construction workers.
They've also started adding the new exterior siding. It's darker than I'd like, but as long as I don't look out the window and see the mold growing on the side of my condo, I'm quite happy.
And the best news is, they've started taking the scaffolding and plastic wrap down on the other two buildings! Ours is hopefully not far off either. In fact, I used my journalistic interviewing skills to get to the bottom of this matter. The following interview was conducted in my elevator as I headed to the bus stop this morning:Me: "Hey, how's it going?"
Construction guy who happened to get into the elevator with me: "Good, and you?"
Me: "Good thanks."
CG: "Good."
Me: "So, um, when are you going to be done?"
CG: Laughing. "Uh, well, we're starting to take down the scaffolding on the second building today so yours should start to come down in about two weeks."
Me: Playing it journalisticly cool, "Really? Ohmygosh that's so great! Really? You're not just making that up?"
CG: Now trying to get off the elevator and get to work, "Uh, yeah. Have a nice day."
