It's been a couple of months since the last post, and an unfortunate event occurred. A virus infected my computer and I don't know that I'll be able to recover pictures from the last couple of months. I would've had a majority of them on my phone, but as luck would have it, I purchased a new phone and wiped the old one clean since I had all the pictures I needed on my computer! Doh!
So going back through what I can recover, the following is what has been happening over the past couple of months.

Windows being added to the back of the building now and tuck-pointing of the brick is complete. |

This is what used to be the bathroom at the top of the stairs. Major leaking occurred in this room and as you can see, the floor is shot. |

You can actually see the offices coming to life! |

Here's the bathroom floor. Obviously new hardwood floors will need to go down in this room. |

The board laying on the floor are a visual Dale created for me so that I could see where the new hallway would go. This will provide better access to the offices on the front side of the building. |

Ready to start ripping off the lathe and now the headlamp has been added! |

Inside that doorway used to be another bathroom, that's where I'll start. |

This is the view from that doorway. Dale is working on the new hallway, but he's nowhere in sight. mmmm.... |

Halfway done. The bottom lathe have been removed. The other side belongs to the neighbor's apartment. Don't want to accidently go through there! |

Closet stripped! |

Well here you go! It's getting filled up with all the materials being pulled out of the building! |

New hallway almost complete! |

Dale's wiggling the wall showing me that it also needs to be reinforced. A lot of the framing was done in oak and has twisted over the years so plenty of work ahead getting everything back in line. |
