Renovation update!

With 10 days elapsed since the last update, we're rolling right along with the renovation.  Take a look below to see how the place is progressing!

Duncan Martin mans the vacuum in the running battle we
wage against dust.

All the derelict furniture at the space moved us to build
roller carts to help shuffle them around.

The temptation to misuse them is astounding.

Look we took down the drop ceiling!  These snazzy beams
were hiding up there all along.  Note also the piles of flooring
 on stage left.

We had to use a grinder wheel to cut down the last vestiges
of drop ceiling (seen in the upper left of previous photo).
Luckily, this validated my recent grinder purchase (should
have gone to the Tool Library?).

Laying the new floor: the first step is squirting
this goopy glue all over the place.

The first piece is down!  Good job Nate.

"Oh hey guys!"
Rick (me) filling the gaps between boards with Elmer's wood filler.

Behold the new floor!  It consists of 4'x8' sheets of oriented
strand board.  Though typically used as an underlayment
rather than finished surface, we think this material will look
pretty decent once we sand and slather it with clear
polyurethane sealer.

The electrician's in there now wiring up those lights.  Next up: sealing the floor, painting the walls, and getting the sinks plumbed in!  Stay tuned!
