Hallway Repairs and Painting

After spending several months searching for and successfully plugging leaks around the roof access doorway, the maintenance crew has begun patching the walls in the back stairway. Anyone who is familiar with the large sections of peeling paint and damaged plaster that filled the walls of the back stairwell after the flooding rains of two years ago should appreciate this. This is just in time for the scheduled painting of the entire building interior.
This should greatly improve the overall look of the entire interior.

Back Stairs Repairs

An update on the ongoing repairs to the back stairway that was water-damaged by rain blown under the rooftop doorway during the heavy rainstorms and high winds we experienced earlier this spring. Repairs have been made to the door, and the damaged wallboard and paint on the walls and ceilings have been cleared (in some areas down to the wall studs). New wallboard, skim coat and paint will be coming soon.
