" We've only got a couple of weeks to go before the first thing we moved in right here at the ball room quite a transformation. The the paint job on next already columns. Well it's a great -- that to work with the draperies and work with the board comes. -- right so there -- yet to us it will bring real life into the room the great white as a background as a very smart place to go. The chandeliers progress. Yes they've been completed replied -- then clean polish all the crystals have been polished and the proportions it changed slightly to making more graceful. So that is that is closest one flight of -- the plastic is still on his laughter and applause going to be re finished and we use would want that. How many coats of Mitterrand's long one coat of primer -- coat and OK so has it happened in spring of well it. Just because of the time constraints of time yes -- first coat resting. And then this when I was here last we were just looking at it -- grand opening -- being created and now it's looking pretty complete well then -- that's going to be draped. With the curtains that -- yourself and just look like you want to point chance exactly salmon were here just. A few days ago it seems very little progress report."

" Now this is the ballroom here at the executive mansion we've got Sam Daniels -- project manager. What's happening in this space this looks like it's the staging area right now growth partners right yes that that's correct we have all of the wood material here for the entire ability and they upstairs -- large enough to have this racks it was going -- here but all of this poplar that's been -- is primarily for the new construction of the private quarters right that's right trying to say -- historic fabric of the house that's -- only on new material here is in the basement here. Baseboards and an awesome panels have to be some analysts had been replaced because of rot. And what about -- grand pocket doors what's happening here well on the other side we're doing attached well the patching has to do would probably -- war against the hardware orders coming in now that's right and what's the material used it's that -- red. Just an epoxy right -- for the schools they're going to paint it just that is that's quite had to pull it all the way Al. And that is there some. Aspect of this that it's tied into the HBC's this yes -- the doors are fully open the opening where the -- passes if you could return air grill. So that -- it's about three inches. That's faith connected with the duct. It's connected with the HAC system -- as the air supplies in this area it is return theory goes fact that he is the condition and it went back into the if this had to close -- this whole system and this method of returns. Cause this cannot happen at any real that we have and conceal or find we've yet to ensure there. Now the elevator over the area making a lot of progress on a lot's happened on that if you saw it last. Now in this end of the -- this was originally a window right."

" Yes this was a window it's now been made -- so we can get to the north addition. And what -- these into the panel here really some of the windows -- had some some riding and panels had to be replaced those they could have been repaired or repair this what was in such bad shape we had to replace this is a piece of India material that pencil line indicates the outline of the applied moldings that will -- little match what's popular replicate what's about yes. OK so now this is a passageway in this is essentially. The elevator -- that's right yeah we have elevator lobby here and in this is the -- the -- that this time -- stringing cables on the G is its attraction elevators -- I think tabling most elevators. Have a cabling way up on top and -- house that's right in this case we couldn't do that because in order to maintain the these lines of the ability in the proper -- line we had to put all of the mechanism at the bottom of the elevator this is called it basement -- attraction elevator. The police in the cables in the works or all of their all out there all in at the body you can see the machine down here initiatives are here -- is that that with the tabling it pulls the elevator. OK now what kind of technologies this this is a state of the art traction elevator -- elevator. This particular elevator because of many constraints that we had to work that had to do the size and so forth that."

" This oval dining room as part of the 196 addition yes that's right bill -- I think that's it what's the scope of working here well other than you electrical -- mechanical we're skim coating the ceiling to cover up all the cracks that it happened over the years through the sagging the ceiling OK and a coat of paint. -- speaking of paint I mean there's a lot of paint on the woodworking here it's like every governor -- a a different color that's about right once every four years you can count on a new coat of paint in here that I could be about twenty coats that's right. And here you had to remove all the paneling in the surrounding paneling from the window what was the problem -- Water transfer -- around the window at rotted panel you see right now patching and masonry here helped take care of that problem then this will be insulated before you were rebuild it that's right. Now this the panel that your sense that yes this is the panel that came out and see the bad condition and it's yeah and we're replacing it with this. It's new answer in the same old framework. It's a piece of India -- plywood. Medium density overlay right. And then be applied moldings well will -- be applied to this right with just like you used to wherever possible you retain the original fabric of the won't make room. Where it's impossible we use new product that's right so Sam just weeks away from finishing ranks by six is all we've got that good luck thanks."

" OK got caught here in the old governor's office I know that we've done some restoration this is an original over door treatment -- and these doors have been very intense of these are restored and decorations. To match that. And here of course is our our mantelpiece. And it has not necessarily been restored as -- conserve correct. And conservation technique was to keep it out of material that we had missing. Replacing some missing elements but basically leaving intact. On the original implants yet so it's conserve more or less in the condition that we expect that we have it without adding pieces to correct. Well it looks beautiful. Great job you -- beautiful job line right there."
