Week of May 2nd:
The steal beams were delivered Wednesday. This picture also shows how close we are moving from where we are now down in the corner (only 11 doors down).
Space Flight pole(we brought in the padding to make sure it fit)
Swing support system is finished
Closer look at the swing support system (it'll be covered by ceiling tiles soon)
On either side of the swing support system, there are two steal poles holding it up. They are bolted to the ground and bolted and welded in the ceiling. We have this same structure in our current space, but they are hidden behind a 6 inch cut out wall. The blueprints of the new space say that the walls to cover these poles will be 8 inches. We went in the new space Friday night once everything was complete, and we were frustrated that the measurements were off. The poles are too far away from the wall to be covered by only an 8 inch wall - it's going to take a 2 foot wall. When the construction company told us that the walls were going to be a little bit bigger than the ones we currently have, we never imaged it would go from 6 inches to 24 inches! We emailed our construction contact over the weekend and have set up a 7am appointment with them tomorrow (Monday) morning before any work starts. The drywall and everything to build the walls is already in the space ready to be started tomorrow. With seeing how much a 2 foot wall will 1. eat into the gym floor space, 2. be really hard to set-up our equipment around and 3. not be safe (kids could run into a 2 foot cut out wall, we have decided we rather have a padding around the 4 poles (like the space flight pole) rather than the walls. We hope that the construction company will pay for the padding since their measurement mistake it really wrong. We also hope that this doesn't effect the estimated move date (set to start on May 25th to be re-opened on June 1st). This isn't the first hic-up (they didn't order enough lobby carpet), so we hope that they are completely fine with our change of plans (and that they ordered enough gym floor carpet for us eliminate that walls). We'll keep you posted...
