On the backside of summer with more sunny days than not, work continues one brush of paint, one piece of tile and one strip of trim at a time. During the last few weeks with most of the windows installed, there have been at least 3 different crews at a time navigating their equipment between levels and living spaces using make-shift stairs and dodging painted doors poised to dry, tile cutting saws with drop clothes to catch water and chop saws working on floors where dust won't interfere.
In between, there are people measuring for blinds, pre-inspection consults, craigslist tours for future tenants (4 down, 3 to go) and Jeff working on the entry tile mostly after hours and weekends.
