Stopped in at the Princess Theatre today and rambled around in all the darkest corners...wearing my hardhat, as is required,...and things seem to be happening at a faster and faster pace these days.
Lots of sheet-rock has been hung, including on the auditorium ceiling, and the street facade is being fine tuned, and looking good I might add.

| As you can see, the scaffolding is still up, but there's lots of work left to do up there! |
Under the marquee canopy, architect Frank Sparkman specified the use of Lafarge Weather Defense® Platinum Type X drywall is a moisture, mold and fire-resistant exterior wall sheathing. That should protect her for a while!
Upon top of the "Margrave/Tappan" buildings, numerous AC units are being fitted into place. Mitch, the guy that escorted me up there, told me that even the small passages within the Princess Complex will be heated and cooled. That's the reason I saw small, medium, and large units being set into place.

| The larger AC units will be mounted on the four frames shown here. |

The access to the roof is only through a small hole (the one you can see going west on Roane Street) the crew knocked through the top most northeast corner of the Princess, and this ol' boy grunted considerably while scooting through! I should not have worn my shorts 'cause I have a few scratches to show for my effort due to my inflexibility!
To wrap it up, here are a couple of miscellaneous photos!

| The wooden chute at left is how roof debris gets into the dumpster below! |
Told you the view was terrific from up there!
