First Week is Done!

Well, the first week of demolition work is finished, and today the excavator finally took a swipe at the front wall. There was snow on the ground and the temperature never got above 34 degrees on Friday in Boston. But despite the weather, in the morning wokers pulled down the final section of roof at the front of the building, and then later began knocking down the front wall. You can now see through the empty lot straight out to Boylston Street. If you look closely, you can tell that the excavator is actually one level below the sidewalk on Boylston Street. I expect that more clean-up will occur next week, and perhaps by week #3 or #4 we'll see some foundation work begin. Watch Friday's time-lapse here.
