Hi everyone! Wanted to give you an update on our progress at
Sts. Peter & Paul.
ACCOMPLISHED
Poured most of the new concrete (driveways, curb cuts, ramps)
Moved field office into the school so construction trailers
could be vacated and the remaining parts of the parking lot completed
Restoration of lobby plaster – looks so beautiful we decided
to leave it unpainted
Installation of school doors and trim halfway done
Closing-in of school walls and ceilings everywhere but fourth
floor
Restoration of proscenium in former auditorium
Primed walls on floors 1-3
Installed all skylights, shingling underway
ONGOING
Exterior masonry restoration – feels never ending but we are
getting there
Installation of vintage bricks in rectory courtyard
Dealing with unpleasant structural surprises in rectory
Repainting church façade
Installation of siding on convent
UPCOMING
Elevator install
Convent exterior paint
Church interior plaster restoration
Branding, website
We are about 70% complete and I imagine some people are becoming
fatigued by the noise, dust and general inconvenience of living next to an enormous
restoration project in a dense residential neighborhood. As we enter the last
quarter, we will most likely have half crews on Saturdays and a skeleton crew
on site most Sundays. I am on site every day, so I know how intense it is, and
although we spend a ton of time and effort trying to minimize impact, unfortunately
we can’t entirely eliminate it. Please know that we are doing our best to work
quickly and safely so we can turn the page and open our doors.
If you want to see what we are up to, I am always happy to
show people around, so email me at stpeterandpaulfeedback@gmail.com.
Thanks again for your understanding as we push through the last few months. We still
anticipate opening this fall.
