Parking lots and sidewalks

It's gone! In picture one, you're looking at a vacant lot. It stands where Building A previously stood. Soon the north parking lot will be there. For now, the only parking available is in the parking lot between Buildings C and D or in the fenced area north of this vacant area. A sidewalk, on the other side of the orange fence (seen through the porte cochere), links the parking lot with the new community room and office. The second picture shows the forms for the sidewalks in the courtyard. The forms on the left side of the picture are for the sidewalk which will be along the south parking lot. The other forms are for sidewalks that will link the east and west buildings with the parking lot. Both buildings have a stairwell on the south end, near the parking lot. You can also see part of the forms for the serpentine sidewalk through the courtyard (see previous posting). The exterior picture, picture three, shows the painted east wall. You can see the three colors: the bottom siding is gray, the shingles above the siding and between the protruding panels are a lighter gray, the protruding panels are white. An interior picture, picture four, shows the kitchen area, including the built-in desk. The door encloses the air conditioner. The door handle on the left opens the door to the outside walkway. You can also note the finished floor.
