Masonry finished
 May 10, 2004, 12:44pm Interesting blue sheen to the windows-- some sort of polarizer. |
 May 10, 2004, 8:00pm The bricks begin to be laid on the steel frame at the south side. |
 May 10, 2004, 8:00pm The elevator doors at the main entrance (a few bricks shy of a wall). |
 May 11, 2004, 12:44pm Installation of the gantry. Those metal bars installed on the wall are for aesthetic gaps that follow the lines of the windows on the east-side. |
 May 13, 2004, 2:00pm Packing begins: the boxer (and 200 boxes). |
 May 12, 2004, 12:40pm Outside masonry is half-way completed. |
 May 17, 2004, 12:40pm A close-up of a glass pane. |
 May 19, 2004, 12:40pm Outside masonry completed (except for the bottom bit). |
 May 19, 2004, 12:44pm Installation of the flashing and siding on the north-west side. |
 May 24, 2004, 12:44pm Gantry is removed. Lovely water-stains on the masonry along the top. |
 May 25, 2004, 12:45pm Finishing work being performed at the entrance. |
 May 25, 2004, 8:05pm The loading dock on the south-east side along Dalhousie. Masonry still needs finishing along the bottom (note visible insulation and vapour-barrier). The window-lines along the east side continue along the masonry (a nice touch). |
 May 25, 2004, 8:00pm Looking south at the beautiful clouds reflected on the glass. The places with missing panes are portals for transferring equipment to/from the street using cranes mounted on flatbeds. |
 May 29, 2004, 12:44pm Scaffolding for installation of the lower portion masonry at the south end. |
 May 29, 2004, 12:46pm Sealant and waterproofing for the outside of the sidewalk along Church. |
