Foundation & Brickwork

The last few days of construction have been a ballet between the big yellow excavator, a hydraulic boom lift, backhoe and other equipment on the lot, as they work on the foundation and adjacent building brickwork. Most of the existing foundation has been torn up, and workers began spraying the adjacent brick walls with something black, which I assume is a sealer. It's interesting to think that the walls of the Apple store will go up right next to the existing buildings, without leaving a scratch on the bricks. I'm anxious for those first steel beams to go up.
