At least the puple is most painted over.
Does tgis mean the building will be receiving a "dryvit" type coating snd not a "typical" New England clap board or shingle exterior?

Hold it. They actually painted EPS boards?????? WHY??????

to tone down the purple and make it look like something was happening I would guess....I have never seen that done before.....Maybe it is some sort of new proprietary Cake Bake Shop coating to seal in the freshness? lol

They didn’t. eXP Board is gypsum-based glass mat sheathing, not EPS rigid insulation. A liquid applied weather barrier would look like paint.

Who knows at this point...I think the paint is a distraction to make it look like something is actually happening....lol

Now we’re watching paint dry

Is that just an extra layer of protection against rain then? I guess I just assumed what they put up HAD to be rain resistant based on how long it was exposed.

The glass mat sheathing is water resistant but it alone does not do everything required of a building envelope. It’s not just rain you have to keep out but also water vapor. The weather barrier also provides a continuous plane to drain moisture that does get through the finish whereas the sheathing is boards with gaps that would allow moisture to accumulate.

Oh I'm more asking that because it's been sitting in Florida elements for like 7 months at this point, not that I thought that was permanent.

Side note, I went back to see when I could first see the purple up in this thread. I saw the first announcements in March and laughed at it being over a year at this point for just a restaurant. Then, as I went looking for pictures, realized that was March 2022. I completely zoned out this is over 2 years now.

The photos don’t show any signs of corrosion. It is a fiberglass coated product. By being exposed it was also able to dry.

Just goes to show that Disney isn’t alone in projects being dragged out.

Any update on the Bon voyage breakfast returning?

Still looks better than the Cake Bake Shop.

Visible progress?!

Just doing some digging…it doesn’t like like it’s completely a Disney issue. Her second locations opening date got moved too.

I too was there yesterday. Maybe if they had as many workers as they did ladders this place would be finished already.

I wonder if they’ve started on the inside at all.

Shouldn’t take too long if the theme is “white paint and some plants”.

This thread reminds me of the BAH demolition thread, except the opposite. With the BAH, we all tuned in to see how much progress they made overnight. With the Cake Bake Shop, we all tune in to see how little progress they made in the last week.

We're here now. When I told my husband it was supposed to open in 2023, he thought I was pulling his leg.
