Fourth floor is up!






The first picture shows the roof trusses waiting to be installed. You can get a sense of scale from the brown port-a-potty in the background. Pictures two and three show the sides of the apartments that will be facing the courtyard. You can see that the fourth story is being framed. The workmen don't have to carry all of that plywood up the stairs -- you can see the lift delivering it. In the second picture you can get an idea of the walkway outside the fronts of the apartments (on the left of the picture). PS I just now discovered that if you click on the picture, you will get a full screen version of it!
