Construction Update – Week of September 21, 2014

We’re taking advantage of the beautiful Michigan fall weather to address some of our outside infrastructure. Geothermal wells have been dug on the west side of the property; manholes are being placed under what will be our sewer grates. The historic facade is undergoing repair. Metal facing continues to be added to our bay windows, and the base for the greenhouse roof is nearing completion. Inside, electrical wiring is taking place, and hot water tanks are lined up and waiting for placement. Take a look at some of the images from this week.

I took this photo of Jason leaning out a 4th floor window, with what looks like the weight of the world on his shoulders. I call it Jason’s JFK moment.
