The snow melted within a couple of days, and everyone was able to get back to work quickly.

Under the portecochere you can see the progress on the front door. They’re going with this archway that echoes the arches in the portecochere itself. Right now the walls are yellow, with a bit of blue around the edges...

But now they’re blue with some grey around the edges. Each of these walls has at least four or five layers.

Here’s a closeup of the modillions on the front of the casino.

And here’s the second floor, with all the damage from last month patched up and the grey dots spreading across the wall surface.

The modillions marched along the length of the bridge, and onto the casino itself.

Here’s the inside curve of the bridge, as seen from the parking garage. The modillions are there, but no work has been done inside yet. They’re probably waiting for windows to be installed first.

By the end of the month, the second story had been covered with a coating of grey plaster. I think this is the last step before the final wall surface gets applied. So the casino should start to have its true colors shine forth very soon, and this place is going to look even more done.

See you next month!
