It is a really nice looking building and really cool that it came through the earthquake unscathed. The clients should be sending you flowers & chocolates... There sure were a lot of other structures of a similar vintage that did not make it through the quake so gracefully.
Your work was awesome. I was thinking in particular about the shotcrete wall; then I thought about our heavy duty center footing and our separate walls... the elevator worked, the washers dryers and dishwashers worked, the garage doors went up and down and there was water in the pool. How lucky can a building be? Thank you so very much.
