Stucco and Ramp Update

The entrance ramp project has been completed and the Stucco is nearly done as well. Not much to say about it, other than the fact that all of our contractors are doing some great work for us. Here are some pictures of the finished ramp and the stucco progress:

The concrete pad for the garbage cans is smoothed out.

The finished project, drying.

The crew works on the Glenhurst entrance concrete. This is the replacement for the existing section that was demolished because of the tripping hazard.

The stained glass repair project moves into phase two this week. The lift has arrived and the work crew is taking down the existing glass that will be replaced. Some shots:

Stucco Phase One Complete

As mentioned earlier this week, the stucco repair project started this past Wednesday. It’s now Friday afternoon and the first section is complete. The crew of five has been working on the peaked roof that faces Glenhurst. Here are some shots of the work in progress, plus the before and after shots for comparison.

This was the starting picture of the project.

Ladder access. The first piece of the work!

Scaffolding for the work, plus taping off all the things that you wouldn't want to get any Stucco on.

The scaffolding is almost complete. It took almost a complete day to get the scaffolding setup and ready to go.

Thursday was spent laying the base for the stucco.

On Friday, we see the final work beginning as the lighter color stucco is applied to the wall.

The ending product, free of cracks, chips and general decay.

Work on the stained glass windows and additional stucco repair around the building closer to the Boulevard will begin on Monday.
