BAR METHOD CONSTRUCTION

Painter were in and out with in a couple of days.

There was a lot of electrical in both exercise rooms confined to small spaces.

Carpet arrived in large rolled goods


Hallway being painted





The lockers for the project showed up way early and therefore they were moved all over the project during the course of construction.

The drywall tapers did a phenomenal job in preparing the place for paint.

Because of the ballet bars and stall bars we had to add alot of wood blocking inside of the walls.

Treeno is the guy who did all of our wood blocking. He also works on many of Sunny's projects including her biggest customer Applied Medical.


The framers took a little bit longer than what I would have liked, but they did do a really good job. Because the economy is so slow, workers don't like to finish jobs quickly because they don't want to go home and sit. If they have another job to go to then they will always speed up.



If you look closely at the framing you will notice that we added steel posts anchored to the concrete so the low wall wouldn't fall down. There is also a 2" x 8" lumber added to support the future install of the ballet bar.




We had to furr out this wall because it divided the suite with the tenant next door and the wall had such a big bow in it, our ballet bar wouldn't have been able to be installed correctly and straight.

The space was a bank before we tore it apart. The doors were leftover from the bank. towards the end of the job we reinstalled them.

I always enjoy seeing your construction pictures. It is cool (in my mind) to drive by something and see it, knowing you built it. That's got to be a very cool sense of accomplishment. Nice work.
