Amsterdam, Netherlands
Slowly (much, much too slowly actually) but surely the scaffolding on the canal side of the building is coming down. More and more of the new façade is being revealed and that is quite exciting. The picture shows the difference between old and new quite nicely. The pointing on the right hand side has been done and all faulty, broken bricks have been replaced. The space between roof tiles and wall has also been redone so the roof is no longer leaking. It's all going well.
On the left hand side of the picture you can see the 'old' wall - that part of the building that's not been done yet. The pointing between the bricks is missing or badly damaged, the lion and the flat stones have not been painted yet, the beam that can be used to hoist materials to higher floors is damaged and is missing some paint work. All that will get repaired n the next couple of months. It's looking promising!
