December 1 Has Come and Gone

December 1 has come and gone, and we're not "quite" moved in yet. There have been some small delays here and there, but we're making progress, and things are falling into place. Equipment and furnitire shipments are arriving daily. We still need to go through all the inspections to get a certificate of occupancy — thanks for being so patient!

Here are some updated photos:

Just Two More Weeks (More or less!)

I'm pleased to report that photos that accompany this posting are already out of date. The first coat of paint is on the walls, the baseboard trim has been installed, the bathroom tile and fixtures are in, and the lights are being installed as I type. The interior doors have been hung, and the drop-ceiling frames are up in the bathrooms and office.

You can click on the photos for a larger view of the images.

December 1 is looking pretty good for a move-in date!

Almost There!

Some encouraging signs of progress today: As I drove past the building this morning, I saw the sheetrock being delivered — the walls will be going up soon! The A/C unit is up on the roof, and the plumbing and wiring have passed inspection. We'll be in the new space before you know it!

We're aiming to move in on or before December 1 at this point. That means our big, grand re-opening will be delayed a little bit, but we're still hosting a mini open house at 129 Braintree Street this weekend to coincide with the annual Allston Open Studios.

The dojo will be open noon until 5:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday, and the following 45-minute mini classes are planned this weekend:

Saturday Afternoon
12:30 PM: Inroduction to Karate for Adults
2:00 PM: Yoga
3:00 PM: Women's Self Defense

Sunday Afternoon
1:00 PM: Yoga
2:00 PM: Cardio Kickboxing
3:00 PM: Women's Self Defense
4:00 PM: Yoga (a full 75 minute class)
