860 Lobby:
While we have officially started work in 860, it’s taken extra time to coordinate the repairs and updates, as it not only involves the lobby floor but also two apartments and the super’s office as well. In particular, given the special piping requirements of the 860 lobby, we’ve also had to engage and coordinate among necessary personnel (general contractor, plumber and architect) for the floor and pipe work. The end-result will be a coordinated effort that best addresses solutions for handling the piping that runs through the lobby. Based on our current decision-points, we expect to begin work on the lobby floor in approximately 2 weeks. In addition, we’ve determined that the stained glass window needs some additional TLC (beyond what we expected), and so a new wooden frame has been ordered.
870 Lobby:
We have had delays in receiving, of all things, light bulbs for the fixtures. However, they have now arrived and we expect that most of the light fixtures will be installed this week. As soon as they are installed, we’ll then install the furniture which we’ve also already received. There are several more items to go (paint touch-ups, stair rail, radiator covers, etc.) so we are not quite yet at punchlist stage. Yet to come is a new awning and new outdoor light fixtures.
As always, you may contact the Board at wghpresident@gmail.com with any questions. We appreciate your patience with this important and complicated project.
