Store Front Repair Part 2

The repair work is almost complete downstairs. Everything is buttoned up and all that is left is the false louvers above the windows.

Half of them are complete. Our painter will then clean everything up and paint the complete front. It will be the same yellow with white trim as above.

Inside we still need to mount dry wall and have it painted. That will be in the next two weeks also.

History Revealed

It’s been a few weeks since the last update. A lot has happened since then. History has been revealed in the front of the building. For right now we are rebuilding the area above the existing store front. We will be reusing the existing glass/doors and repaint everything once its complete.

One incredible item uncovered was the original steel column on the North West corner of the building. The new design will have the tops of the columns above the glass exposed.UNADJUSTEDNONRAW thumb 35d1

While the front demolition/rebuild is going on we are finishing the floor.

Store Front Repair

Just when we thought we were almost finished. The front window leak is a lot worst. On the West side, all the wood is rotten. On the East side, there is old termite damage. It looks like we have to replace the windows and framing all the way up to the steel beam holding up the bricks in front. We should know the schedule this week once all the quotes come back.

Here is where we removed the outside tin to find out where it was leaking.
