Hi neighbors,
It’s been a month since work started on our renovation of St Peter & Paul and I wanted to share what we’ve been up to:
ACCOMPLISHED
- Project mobilization: construction trailer, subcontractor signage, temporary fencing
- Demolition: most of the paving, little (non-historic) garage between school and rectory, Marigny St wall, rear of convent (will be rebuilt but was falling down)
- Sewer line trenching, tying into the city’s systems
UPCOMING
- Electrical rough-in
- Mechanical rough-in
- Plumbing rough-in
- Elevator pit construction
It’s rained every day for two weeks, which has made the site pretty soupy, but workers have been sweeping and cleaning the sidewalk/streets every day and hopefully the weather will dry up soon (ah, summer in south Louisiana).
Our contractor has also applied for a permit to close off street parking on our side of Burgundy St. We've had a few close calls and really want to avoid damage to cars and people, especially as we start working on the building facades. I apologize about further crunching parking during working hours but we're really trying to avoid anyone getting hurt.
As always, please contact me at stpeterandpaulfeedback@
Best
Nathalie
