March Construction Update by Chris Herndon
Dear Neighbors, We think you’d be amazed at how far along the project has come! Here’s the update since our last share: As funny as it sounds, we’re done cutting holes in the roof! Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing rough-in work was ongoing and ultimately approved by City of St Paul inspectors. It looks like a bunch of pipes, tubes and wire getting installed in wall cavities and overhead. I think of this as work as the nervous system of a building. Instead of acting as a building ornament, the downspouts are back to functional. We capped off the chimney to prevent something from living in there. The insulation has been installed in many areas. I think of insulation as the building’s blanket to keep warm. And capped off with drywall. Five layers were installed between the theater and the lobby to create a quiet theater space. Can’t have distractions, can we now? What’s coming up next? HEADS UP! On Tuesday, April 14th or Wednesday, April 15th, we’re going to be blocking at least
