As Jesse mentioned in the video, the crew has begun painting the first deck stack to the left of the entry and will follow the route as documented above on the map.  The crew plans to continue work on Saturday and as they wrap around the rear of the building, we are anticipating that that the deck stacks (floors/undersides) will be completed by 9/26 or 9/27 (weather permitting). After a resident deck has been completed, we advise tenants to wait 24 hours to before going back out on the deck or returning items back to it. Thanks and have a great weekend!

After yesterday’s rain delay, the crew is happily back onsite and painting the siding of the deck stacks. They are making their way around to all of the deck stacks – from the front around to the back to paint the siding areas first, they’ll then start back at the beginning and work on the deck- specific areas, again following the route around the building. They are anticipating to finish the siding areas today and then begin on the decking tomorrow. Thanks!
