Building Access: I am happy to report that the roof project is on schedule to be complete by August 20th. The gym floor and the last hallway (west hallway from office to room 12) in the main building should be finished by next weekend, August 13th. It would be ideal to wait until after the 20th to come inside, however, if you would like to access the building prior please follow these guidelines;
- Avoid entrances/exits with overhead work actively occurring. (these change frequently so be sure to check)
- Be prepared for some overhead noise while you are in your rooms.
- Stay out of the playground and field areas.
- Use the angled parking spots to the west of the gym only, not behind the gym.
- Check to make sure the floor is dry and cured.
- Let Zach and Tim stick to their routine so they can stay on schedule.
- Be sure to check the alarm when you enter or exit.
There are still a handful of furniture items that need to be returned to rooms, but the vast majority of furniture is in place. The carpet squares are still not put together, but Zach and Tim will be plugging away at those soon. If for some reason you do not want the carpet squares in your room at all, please let me know. Unfortunately, they are not sticking back together easily so they are consuming a lot of time to clean and assemble.
