Definitely awkward when traveling with someone for business. Not so much if just family, but still pretty weird.

Sliding/barn doors on hotel bathrooms are the worst.

And just because this project is so awesome and a rendering hasn't been posted in a while:

With all of the projects I lose track of what each looks like. I moved this rendering up from a couple pages back to help my memory.

I don't think they're bad everywhere...for example, for a room where you might have the door open for extended periods of time but don't want it sticking out into the walkway. But for bathrooms? Eugh!

I used them in my current house in 2 places....yes they serve that exact purpose....But I wish we would have used pocket doors instead. Live and learn.

The site went quiet late last week. But it's busy this morning.

Update from Towers

Quote:

Carson Nelsen, project designer for the tower’s architects Nelsen Partners, confirmed that demolition of the site’s existing structure and the beginnings of construction are taking place at the corner simultaneously, with the first of many concrete pours for the building’s foundation starting on Monday earlier this week. “We expect construction to continue and completion of the project in fall 2021,” he says.

The demo seems more typical of a project carefully saving the bones of a structure for a major remodel.

Hmm maybe they need that to maintain the structural integrity with the building next door?

It might have to do with how the basements of those two spaces are/were connected.

Closer view from this weekend. Looks like the're putting up scaffolding and taking it down bit by bit.

The ATX · #**275** Posted **Apr 15, 2020, 4:35 PM**

^^^Nice updates. The roof is being removed today - one little piece at a time.

The ATX · #**276** Posted **Apr 16, 2020, 7:32 PM**

It's a slow news day. So I'll post a webcam update.

ThyPiGuy · #**277** Posted **Apr 17, 2020, 8:05 PM**

Starting to cut up the foundation.

ThyPiGuy · #**278** Posted **May 6, 2020, 5:03 PM**

From last weekend, working in the basement.

Screenshot from the webcam just now, moving a bit faster and roof is half gone.

This is technically U/C because the mat foundation pour was completed earlier this month. The tower crane is scheduled to go up four weekends from now.
