Though it appears that there is a tremendous amount of work to be done, Merit Construction is still scheduling Substantial Completion for July 27 - a bit more than a week away! 2302 N. 30th St. has been a beehive of activity with numerous tradespersons being directed by Larry, Site Super in the role of Maestro! It truly is an exercise of planning and oversight as all the pieces need to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, while at the same time making sure the various trades are performing in logical sequence and not getting in one anothers' way!
Work on the ADA parking spot commenced late last week, and Wednesday of this week Carr street was scraped to the cobblestones in preparation for repaving after completion of the ADA spot. The cobblestones are a thing of beauty - Larry did a bit of research, and we believe they were made of stone imported from England (used as ballast for empty ships coming from Europe and returning laden with products and goods), and installed by Chinese labor about 129 years ago! It's a bit of a shame that they have to be covered by asphalt, so beautiful is the craftsmanship inherent in their installation!
