Update April 2, 2009 from:
John Timmers - Superintendent
Vanmar Constructors...
A building update for end of March, 2009.
Sheet linoleum flooring has started on the top floor, which is one of
our last big hurdles to jump towards finishing the building.
Cabinets, light fixtures, and plumbing fixtures installation had started
about a week ago, and as the sub-trades completing that work move their
way down to the lower floors, with the major traffic out of the way, the
flooring subcontractor started. After the flooring has been installed
in the third floor suites, the painter will go back into the suites to
apply the final coat of paint, after which the door hardware needs to be
installed, and the other sub-trades will have to complete the final bits
of their work, such as electrical cover plates, fire alarm devices, and
vent grills.
All of the doors have been hung, and in a couple weeks, the finish
carpenter will be through the building installing all the door hardware,
such as passage sets, locks, door closers, door viewers and thresholds.
Sometime towards the end of this week, all the cabinetry installation
will be 100% complete. That means that within two weeks, all the
plumbing or venting that is installed in the cabinets will be complete.
The toilets will be installed as the bathroom floor linoleum is completed.
Because winter is just dragging on and on, were not able to do much
more exterior work. Painting can only take place if the temperature
stays above 5 degrees centigrade. There is little snow left on site,
but the frost seems to have penetrated the ground quite deep, and we
need some warm weeks, and lots of rain would be helpful too.
Tentative schedule for appliance delivery is about mid May.
