Not yet...Almost...

Unfortunately, the HVAC final inspection did not pass today. There are two things that must be corrected before they reinspect it. So, we will not be in the dojo for NTS on Saturday and classes will be held via Zoom for the early part of next week. Hopefully we will be in the dojo mid next week, fingers crossed. However, we do have much of the finishing touches done, just a few more to go.

We are so close to having the new dojo open!

Both the electrical and plumbing inspections passed today, yay! Tomorrow the HVAC is scheduled for inspection. When that passes then the final occupancy inspection is done. The carpenter is installing all the final touches today for the final occupancy inspections. If all goes smoothly, we could get our occupancy permit on Friday! This is so incredibly exciting!

All the utility installations are done!

We have a working drinking fountain with the ability to refill water bottles! We also have hot water for the bathroom and mop sink. All the utility inspections are being ordered. Monday the carpenter installs all the finishing touches and then the final inspection is ordered! We are so close now!

We have functional plumbing!

The plumbing is almost done! The electrician needs to come back to wire the hot water heater and a couple of other things. Then the finishing touches, such as baseboards, vent covers, and safety handles in the bathroom. The cubby benches are built and ready to go in the dojo as soon as we have our occupancy permit.

Functioning lights!

I have never been so excited about light switches in my life! What’s even more exciting? Motion sensor light switches in the bathroom and storage room. The electrician will be back tomorrow morning to finish wiring the HVAC compressor, which is on the roof. Today the electrician is picking up a light fixture for the bathroom; yay, light in the bathroom. The plumber is expected to finish up their portion too. The blinds for the window arrived yesterday and today I began building the cubby benches. We are getting really close now!
