There was no work on the site on Jul-10-2024 because of rain most of the day. Lou and crew of American Masonry back to full force today on July 11th -- working on lime stone column cladding, prepping top of brick wall for concrete cap. Following are a few pictures I took during my field visit in the afternoon.

Lou and his crew of American Masonry Company hard at work doing a great job!

In the following I present some Progress Pictures as of Jul-09-2024 showing lateral support block piers being filled, lime stone column cladding being removed and being straightened, continuing to remove and replace broken bricks, chipping out cracked mortar and remortaring the bricks.

With Lou working on this -- the project is in great hands -- in the hands of a master builder!

in my last blog post, 

https://energyefficientbuild.blogspot.com/2024/07/structural-repairs-to-subdivision.html

I showed progress pictures as of Jul-03-2024 ... work on the project is going on a pretty fast clip. Today, I visited the job site this morning, then around lunch time, and then this evening. Lou and his crew are making good progress

In today's following pictures, I have included the broken bricks having been taken out, cracked and broken mortar chipped out, power washing of portions of the wall, removing top portion of the two limestone pillars, and work on the buttresses at the back of the wall.

Lou and his crew ... Great Progress Guys!
