November Construction Update

Hi neighbors, Just wanted to post some news on what’s been going on in the last 2 months at 2317 Burgundy. ACCOMPLISHED Construction is about 40% done School first floor school walls are closed in. Opting to leave the joists exposed made for an engineering challenge. We expect the high ceilings of the 2nd and 3rd floors to make building those rooms easier, but anticipate some similar obstacles as we had on the ground floor in the 4th floor former attic space. Guest room framing in the school is nearly complete, including mezzanines and arched showers School mechanical roof well cut out and dried in; AAON unit and hot water heater craned into place The masonry on all four sides of the school has been cleaned; the west elevation has been repointed. Slow going. Rectory windows were removed and taken off-site for rehabilitation We are adding about 1.5% to the total square footage of the buildings, in the form of two additions. One is a kitchen at the back of the rectory and the other adds about 6 feet of depth at the rebuilt rear of the convent. Those have now both been framed. Convent siding was removed and is being salvaged; walls have been sheathed and waterproofed. Original convent windows have been repaired and are in the process of being reinstalled (about half of them are back in) UPCOMING Skylight install in school roof Plumbing and electrification of church bathrooms Church plaster sounding and restoration Ongoing masonry cleaning and repointing Irrigation and site lighting wiring install We are still on schedule with anticipated completion date of late summer/fall 2018. The site will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday for Thanksgiving. You can always reach me with any questions at stpeterandpaulfeedback@gmail.com or on my cell at 504.715.7142. Best Nathalie
