Week 11 Saturday

 June 21 2014

The piles have again mysteriously disappeared.  Well maybe not so mysteriously, a lot of guys carrying the large lumber pieces down the stairs and out of the building.  The windows have all been removed, leveled and either re-installed or plywood is in place.  The window ladies appeared and decisions have been made about installation and exactly how to order.  The final order should be ready on Monday or Tuesday and the new windows will be here in 4 to 6 weeks.

I met again with the electrician and hi-tech people to co-ordinate the installation of the Control 4 system.  I think I finally understand how to specify all of this thanks to input from these two groups.  Really hard to find the information on the website.  It is all settled in my minds eye (for today anyway).

New glitch or maybe a happy change for the better.  The pricing to level the floor with lite-crete was so expensive I started thinking that it might be an opportunity to do something other than what I had in mind which was hardwood flooring.  I am considering installing  a resin or stained concrete floor which would only add a fraction to the cost.  I need to research this a little more.  Stay tuned for my decision meanwhile check out some of the looks I am considering.  Click to go back to the link.

Resin Floors

Dark Stained concrete

Light stained floors with squares

The LED down lights were delivered yesterday, 37 of them.  Ready for the electricians next week.  Now we just need that plumber to show up so we can get the plumbing done.

The mechanical crew came last week and tore out all of the old heating systems.  Probably installed sometime in the 60's.  There will be a new more efficient girl in town when this is done.

Stay tuned and watch the transformation.  If you want a hint of it's future look at my Pinterest posts.  http://www.pinterest.com/jdzinesf/hyde-street-penthouse/
