More details - 12/14/05


The tiebacks passed the stress tests, which signaled the go-ahead for the driveway and roof. The driveway is backfilled and ready to be poured. The access ramp soil was used to fill the driveway, so the front "yard" has taken its shape. The scaffolding is up for the windows, siding and painting, and the roof is scheduled for 12/16/05.
