Law&Order - Renovation Unit
Good news - lots of work done. (Of course, ostentatious demolition is the easy part of a renovation project). You can see that the main living wall is completely gone and new openings have been made to the kitchen. Meanwhile looking back to the studio's doorway, you can see the new opening to the master bedroom.
Unfortunately, one resident has complained about the dust -- though the building superintendent has noted that the contracting company is "very good" and does "the cleanest work I've ever seen."
The resident has also set the Building department on me, claiming that there are no permits. This is false. Permits were obtained over a month ago. It is true that they may not have been posted. Big deal, except now I have to take care of the "violation".
Finally, just to formally note that the resident is wrong in the extreme, one of his points is that the studio door isn't taped from the inside while work is going on. I direct the jury's attention to the following photo taken just after returning home today:
