installation of stone and glass

last week, we completed the installation of the stone and glass for fire station 21. there has been some nice coverage in the phinneywood blog and lots of interaction with the community as the work takes shape. swinging the stone and glass into place on a prominent corner of this main thoroughfare has been challenging, but seattle solstice did a magnificent job, supported by the project engineer, paul diedrich. i am continually amazed by the spirit of the phinney/greenwood community and the steady stream of folks passing by to offer comments, questions, and "thumbs up".

here are some pictures from the install. if we are able to stay on schedule, the lighting will be in place on tuesday of next week (27 SEP).
