Construction Update #5

Another good week, and I'm feeling like things are really under control. I figure it's the eye of the hurricane, and more crazy stress lies ahead. In any event, I am enjoying the feeling of being on track, and thinking we know what we're doing.

Here are a few shots of what has gone on this week:

Framing for the storage room near reception.
This is where the dishwasher, water heaters and storage will go.

The sheeting nearly complete on the north tall wall, opposite the
bouldering terrain. Much of the lath work is done,
including a nice flake on the left edge of the chimney,
and some of the texturing is done on some seams.


Steel has gone up fast in the south bay this week.
Here is the left half of the arch.
Look at the sunlight coming in from behind,
where the window replacement is finally underway!

And here is a funny story. I arranged phone service this week, and asked for a phone number ending in ROCK (7625). There were 4 to choose from, and 633-ROCK had the nicest "ring" to it, so I chose that. On Tuesday I discovered that's exactly the same 7 digits as Climber's Rock has (they are in area code 905). We decided that's a little too much of a weird coincidence, and some customers might actually call the wrong gym by mistake and get mixed up, so I called back and changed it. Our number will now be (416) 398-ROCK, and it should be hooked up, um, this morning. Well, maybe Monday.

Things are rocking now.
