UPDATE #9 March 17, 2025
Weekly Status UpdateThe contractor has completed the waterproofing on the rear sheathing of the M building, and earlier this week, the waterproofing consultant and architect were on-site to review the work. Following their inspection, the contractor has now begun construction of the new decks.
While the photos may not fully capture the extent of the work, the waterproofing process was a multi-step application, resulting in a thick, rubberized membrane that now coats the rear of the building, providing a durable seal.
Next Week’s Schedule
The door installer is scheduled to be onsite this upcoming Tuesday to install the first sliding door. This installation will take place with both the waterproofing consultant and architect on-site to ensure that the flashing is installed per the manufacturer’s specifications. Since this process involves a similar approach to the rear rubberized membrane, extra attention will be given to ensure a proper waterproof seal to the building.
At this time, it has not been determined if any additional doors or windows will be installed next week. However, the contractor will continue framing the new decks, with the majority of the second-floor deck framing expected to be completed by the end of next week.
