The Crash Pad
Update
Construction at The Crash Pad is coming fast and furious! A month ago we only had some footings. Then within a week we had all of our walls up and another week we got both floors in. The roof is now framed and we’re awaiting our green roof to be installed. In slightly sad news, the building affectionately known as the relic (an existing building we were going to keep two beautiful brick walls of, brace and mount with solar panels) fell over in the process of us trying to save it. It turns out that 100-year-old mortar has the holding power of dust. Not to worry, we’ve reclaimed literally every brick and beam of wood and this will go into an outdoor pavilion area that we’re in the middle of designing right now. To follow our progress (and for more construction pics) please check out facebook.com/TheCrashPad.
