Summary Progress Report
Submittal data on the windows and stucco materials were
submitted and approved before May 12, 2015.
Scaffolding erection started June 1, 2015 and completed July 10,
2015. Demolition work began July 6, 2015 and completed July 31,
2015. Windows were delivered to the site on July 1, 2015.
The demolition work exposed multiple areas of moisture intrusion
and wood rot.
At the end walls, window and balcony header framing was found to
be rotted. Extensive moisture and some termite damage has occurred
on the north end of stack 33.
There was existing framing rot at many levels under the Bow
Windows.
Additional wall framing alignment discrepancies are continuing
to be found at each of the Bow Window areas at all floors. The
Contractor was instructed to rework the window framing to fit the
templates of the new Andersen Windows and include the extra time
and material in the rot allowance. This procedure has become
proto-typical.
Wood framing repairs are complete at the 15 bow windows and at
the three (3) end walls. All bow windows and end wall windows are
installed. Both interior and exterior finishing at these windows is
complete.
At the porch column work the framing has been removed. All
columns required rot replacement and structural wood repairs.
Temporary shoring will remain in place at all private porch columns
until work is complete. The concrete patch and curb have been
re-poured. The new stucco at the porch columns is in progress.
Application of the waterproof “gold coat” to the wood sheathing
is complete. Application of EIFS foam board and base coat is
complete at all walls. Application of the EIFS finish coat is
started.
The Contractor continues to perform the work efficiently and
with care.
Photographic documentation follows.
