We're making progress!

There are no pictures this time as the progress being made is not very visible. However . . .

• The contract with Spaw Glass construction company has been signed.
• Arrangements for purchasing the alleyway from the City of Houston have been made thanks to help and aid from MDAnderson.
• Preparations are underway for moving the utility poles to the east side of Cecil Street, again thanks to aid from MDAnderson.
• Modifications are being made to the architectural plans that will lower the apartment ceilings to eight feet (from nine feet) and move the A/C handlers from the bathroom ceilings to a wall. These modifications are being made so that there will not be the extra expense of an auxiliary water pump and generator. The original plans were slightly over the maximum height that did not need the pump and generator.
• Arrangements are being made to replat the area now that the alleyway and utility pole problems have been solved.

Many thanks to the following people/companies who have done pro bono work on the project: William T. Cannady, architectural designers from Gensler, Walter P. Moore and Associates, Haynes Whaley and Associates, I.A. Naman and Associates, Prejean, and Mark Sacco.
