On the second floor (going to be offices) there are a stack of wood panels, they are goign to be the backing of the cabinetry that has not yet been installed on this floor.
This is the finsihed cabinetry in one of the apartments, the men working on this are waiting for the counter tops to be delivered
This is the interior of one of the apartments. The walls are finsihed, they are painted and we can see the single hung window is completly installed, theyre is also a crown molding nailed in at the top of the wall. The electricians have been in here, and we can see what will be a light switch.
This is an open area that is not yet finished, the floor is covered with roofing felt as weather/water protection. The walls are going to be covered in stucco. The white is the finish stucco -it cannot be finsihed because of the temperature drop, and the workers are waiting till it gets warmer to finish up around the site. The rough opening for the window is visible, as well as a layer of weather proofing that is pulled through to form a tight barrier

This is the interior of the stairwell, it is now filled with batt insulation between the rim joist, and the wall studs of both the 1st and 2nd floors
The men on the bottom floor are installing the handrail, they were talking about the wood blocking as I was coming up the stairs (the woodblocking between the studs is how the handrail is attatched to the wall.
Closer up we can see the balusters and posts supporting the handrail
This is the view of the interior hallways, the walls are fully insulated and soon the gypsum wallboard will be installed.

The interior of the second floor is still in progress, the floor is still concrete, the floor finish is going to be one of the final things to be installed. The electrical and mechanical wires are intalled and run through the spaces in the floor joists. We can also see the plumbing pipes.
The man working is a carpenter and is working by the emergency light because the lights in the building have not been turned on yet.
This is opening by which the gypsum board was being transfered and we can see the stacks on the right. The header of the opening and the studs of the wall are visible, as is the plumbing work. The cavity on the left could be an elevator shaft, the cables are clearly visible.

This is a view from the interior of the 2nd floor, we can see the detail of the the floor trusses. The main trusses are running horizontally and the bridging trusses connecting the main trusses are running from front to back -they help spread the load of the structure. Above the trusses is the decking which runs continuously across the floor.
This is the interior of a stairwell, we can see the framing of the walls -the rim joist of the 2nd floor and the steel studs of both the 1st and 2nd floors. The man that is walking is steping onto the landing between the 1st and 2nd floors.
Between the steel studs there is wood blocking for the handrail. The handrail on the left has more elements, the balusters are the vertical members, and each articulated member is a post(it isnt butted up against a wall, but an empty cavity -unsafe, needs the balusters and posts)
From this angle we can also see a stringer of stairs leading up to the 2nd floor, the treads are the horizontals and the risers are the verticals.

This is the view of a window from the interior, the weather proofing that is nailed to the exterior is pulled through the rough opening before the prefabricated window is installed. The main frame is made up of the head, the side jambs and the sill. The sash is the window frame that holds the panes of glass, it is made up of the horizontal members -rails, and vertical members -stiles. Connecting the panes of glass are the muntins. This is an awning window and its operator is on the bottom, resting on the sill.

We can also see the interior framing of the wall and the window. The wall studs are running vertically, butted against the window are the jack studs and next in line are the kingstuds. Under the window are the cripple studs, all the studs are sitting atop the bottom plate.

The man in the back is applying the stucco finish to the piers, he is using a hawk and trowel. On the right side of the image we can see that he has not yet applied the stucco to the final pier, it just has the scratch and brown coats on
Batt insulation is used in between the wall studs and between the floor joists

This is an image from the stairwell, the electricians have installed the gas pipes, and these pipes will be hidden from view after the steel studs are covered. The block of wood is placed between the joists to allow for stability for the pipes.

On the interior of the building the workers were putting up a stucco finish. Here we can seethe gypsum lath of foam that is being put up over the rigid insulation.

Here we can see the different stages of the finish, on the right are the intermediate stages, and on the left is the finished coat. The bottom right corner are the water meters that have already been installed for what will be an apartment complex.

This picture shows the interior finish of the walls, there are two layers of a concrete/plaster mix that are laid before the finish coat of stucco is applied.Over the sanded gympum lath the plastic netting and scratch coat were applied, then the brown coat was applied, and for the finish the stucco was appliedThis is the closeup, the tight netting is visible, and the dinstinction between the intermediate and final layers of stucco is apparent.

This is the detail of 2 windows that have just been installed. The main frame is made up of the head (top piece), the sill (bottom) and the jambs (sides). The frame that hold together the panes of glass is made up of rails (horizontals) and verticals (stiles), between the windows is the mullion (which has not been filled in yet) above rests the lintel and below is the exterior sill which is sloped to direct water away from the window.
Around the window we can see how the bricks are cut accordingly and it is evident that the window is in a preplanned location (as it always is)-every other row of bricks ends just at the window frame.
In this picture we can see that the top half of the building is farther along than the bottom half. In the top we can see the vents that are made in the brick for fans -most likely for a kitchen. Because brick expands there is an expansion joint created between the two brick sections. On the lower level roof we can see that there is roofing felt laid out as a vapor barrier and it is pulled over the edge a little bit to prevent the seepage of water below the roofing materials into the sheathing. On top of the lower level are stacks of either gypsum board or foam insulation ready to be installed.
The man in this picture is sanding down the foam that has been applied to the exterior in staggered blocks. On top of the foam will go layers of stucco for the finish.
