Taping and Ceilings
The work is going by at breakneck speed, but a lot of it isn't really seen. MEP work continues, and continues, and continues, but one day when you step back and look at it, while you think nothing has been happening, you start to see light fixtures appear. Soon we begin to primer the walls, and put the hard ceilings in, but this is the step just before. Taping the walls is a long process as well. First the strip goes in, then a s find pass with plaster, then a third pass filling screw holes, a fourth pass with more plaster, then the final sanding phase. The rooms look bandaged together, but once this happens, we have smooth walls. There's another process happening at the same time, which I'll cover in another post. In the meantime, here's the progress.
Dressing room taped.
654 hallway taped
Overhead Duct Work.
Cabaret ceiling rough in begins.
Bar walls in place.
Back hallway door frames installed.
654 Hallway ceiling gets roughed in.
Bar walls are taped, with box office now in shape.
654 Hallway with light fixtures added in! We should see hard ceilings go up after our overhead inspection mid month.
Main theater taped, and ready for primer. Before that happens, we have a brief interlude as we install the Terrazzo floor!
