January 25, 2008: The steel canopies over the windows are being installed.
January 25, 2008: The interior stairwell has been installed. Framing continues.
January 23, 2008: The joists and decking are in on the first and second floors of the north end of the building.
January 23, 2008: Ventilation ducts are being installed in the Market Hall.
January 23, 2008: Framing has begun on the north end.
January 16, 2008: The Market Hall with the structure in place for the skylight.
January 16, 2008: As part of the LEED certification, the construction site recycles all waste, including old cement foundations that were removed.
January 16, 2008: The hot box (for fire protection) had to be moved closer to the street!
January 16, 2008: The historic rails waiting to be put back in the Alameda (pedestrian section) when completed.
January 14, 2008: The joists go in on the second story.
January 14, 2008: More steel goes in the Market Hall to support the skylight that runs the length of the Market Hall.
The Market Hall should be totally erected by the end of January.
January 4, 2008: The steel structure of the Market Hall is being installed. Men's toilet plumbing is in the foreground. No more porta-potties for our customers!
January 4, 2008: Fire protection (back flow valve) is being installed on the south end of the building.
January 4, 2008: A view of part of the Market Hall wall supports. The four-foot high concrete wainscoting cured beautifully and goes around the entire Market Hall.
December 17, 2007: Snow storms and a back order on the steel joists and decking for the two-story part of the building slowed work on the project in December. The plumbing for the downstairs bathrooms was installed, though.
November 30, 2007: The concrete for the wainscoting was poured on a nice, temperate, rainy day, perfect for a "pour." The black tarps help it cure. The north end of the building gets more delineated.
November 28, 2007: The steel structure for the two-story, north end of the building start to be installed. Vertigo means nothing to steel workers.
November 21, 2007: As the forms for the pouring of the concrete wainscoting go up, the size of the Market Hall becomes apparent: huge!
November 16, 2007: Preparations begin for the concrete wainscoting around the Market Hall.
November 09, 2007: Now that the footings have been poured, one can get a feel for the scale of the building. This photo is looking at the spacious 9,825 square foot Market Hall on the south end of the building. At the north end, on the other side of the poured middle slab, is the 5,847 square foot restaurant/retail area.
October 22, 2007: Trust for Public Land installed two 15,000 gallon tanks just west of our building site. All the rainwater from the Farmers' Market Building roof will drain into these tanks and be used for the irrigation of the park and the Market's landscaped area. Once these tanks are installed, we can proceed with the footings for the Market Hall portion of our building. The footings for the north end, two story part of the building have already been poured.
October 3, 2007: The footers are being dug for the north, two-story part of the building, which will be constructed first. Cement will hopefully be poured next week.
