Digging up history

The water department is discovering all sorts of fun history as they work on Clinton Street outside Cyrk.   They dug through their old water vault, under the 6” natural gas line, and discovered an old trolley rail line.

We are strong supporters of labor unions and, indeed, a number of union shops are working on the Cyrk Building.  It is an honor to be able to create the opportunity for good jobs in this economy.  We are chagrined that the pace of our quiet neighborhood has been disrupted by the Carpenters Union, but the exercise of lawful free speech is a right that we prize.

Masons are in the House

The masons are installing concrete block.  They should be done with the masonry by the end of next week and will begin erecting steel.  Steel erection will be complete by the end of January and the second floor should be poured in the first week of February.  There will be a crane on the site, but it shouldn’t impact traffic.  Occasional deliveries of large steel columns and beams may temporarily affect the flow of traffic on Clinton.

Building Progress

Construction has moved up to the ground floor. The remainder of the footings are being poured this week. The slab pour will take place on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday – whenever the weather is best.
