The next phase of the project is underway. The wrapping of the building will allow the contractors to heat the building and allow for the masons to erect staging and begin the process of installing the brick to the building. Heating the building is essential to insure that the mortar mix is at the correct temperature for application. The masonry process will work from south (Eaton St. side) to north. Along with the wrapping of the building, roof work continues to keep the building weather tight.
