October 4, 2003, 2003

It was wonderful when we were able to finally cut out the airform material from the window openings. We got a preview of how nice the views will be with actual windows.

It will also help in drying out the sand coat, even though the air is very humid, that is what helps the concrete to dry evenly and minimize cracking.
