2/1/07 There it goes! (See updates below from 2/2/07)

The old laundry demolition is underway.

Complete removal is expected to take 5 or 6 days.

How about a sneak peek at one of the new pictures to be featured in the lobby:

Now who do you suppose wanted this near his cage?

UPDATE 2/2/07 - Things are changing fast so lets have a look:

Noon time on 2/1/07

Coming down fast

5PM 2/1/07

The remains of one of the original dryers (two of three were no longer in service)

Back to work this morning

Where does it all go? Into covered dumpsters and off to the construction debris landfill

This is some heavy lifting

Building is nearly gutted

Soon we'll see all of Building 5 for the first time in over 10 years.

3PM 2/2/07 Update

2/2/07 6PM The day ends

The "attachment" to building 5 wasn't too secure

There won't be too much repair work required to restore the wall.

Great to see the original building uncovered again.

The last of the equipment is hanging in there. The old washers wouldn't come out of the floor. They will have to be cut out.

Much more to come. Check back frequently.
