With help from Tom at AtlasPaintCompany, the front elevation gets freshened by some new paint; meanwhile Mike Malinowski AIA and Belal Siddiqui are on roof duty adding a water diverter and a new layer of ‘secret sauce’ at the dome. Spiffy outcome from some high (and rather scary) work; now it’s back to the computer boards .

At the Warehouse Artist Loft project, R street between 11th and 12th: Foundations for the “new building” for the pit include Auger Cast Piles and Micropiles; work continues; while rebar cages are waiting for placement and grouting. On the interior of the historic warehouse, some columns get a ‘haircut’ to prepare for the new pneumatically placed concrete shear wall that will become one part of the new seismic system.
