Weeks 34 & 35
When the job trailer leaves from a project and the supervisor moves to an office inside the building a smile comes on your face because you know it means the end is near. The new gym project job trailer left this week. Workers are everywhere taking care of finish details. The equipment contractor is installing the floor to ceiling curtain in the gym that will divide the space into two practice courts. Next they will set up the batting cage netting by attaching it to the frame which is already mounted in the ceiling. When in use the frame will be lowered to just above the gym floor to create a space where athletes can pitch and bat without breaking windows. After that they will attach the bar and fabric sling that will raise the wrestling mat to the ceiling when not in use in the wrestling room. The birch gym floor is completely installed and waits now to be sanded, finished and lined. Interior room solid wood doors are installed and the contractor is now installing the section of viewing glass in each one. Rubber tile flooring is down in the hallways and locker rooms and carpet is installed in the team room and offices. Locker rooms have lockers installed and the shower areas have partitions for showers and toilets. The wrestling room sub floor is down and the finish floor is in rolls ready to be installed. Finish flooring for the fitness room is there but waiting for the electricians to clear out of the space they have used to store electrical equipment for many weeks. The parking lot is taking shape and the binder coat of asphalt will go down next week. Two weeks left to the completion date. Punchlist review is the talk of the construction meetings lately. There is a very satisfied smile on my face these days.
