Look, it is almost ready for us!

We are so close! All the finishing touches are done, except for the wall mounted feminine hygiene receptacle. The landlord has it to give to the contractor. So, just the HVAC final inspection approval and the occupancy approval are left. I can’t wait to officially get in the door and start putting in our details, such as mirrors, mat floor, heavy bag, and makiwaras. As soon as we get occupancy, we will start training at the dojo. I will let everyone know as soon as it happens!

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.
