Vertical lumber!
















We have vertical lumber aka walls! The first picture shows the walls of the community room/office building taking shape. The elevator shaft is rising behind it. This picture is taken from the balcony of existing building A. The second picture is taken from the other side. The elevator shaft with the openings for the first three floors can be seen (two elevators). The community room/office building is to the right of the elevator shaft. The slab for the east apartment building is in the foreground. Existing building A can be seen behind the pole on the right edge of the picture. Progress!
