Tuesday - Meanwhile...

While everything is going on at the new building, a lot is happening at our old location.

Folks have been hard at work breaking down, packing, organizing, and staging.  It's been hot work, too, due to the current heat wave.

You wouldn't recognize the old building.  The classrooms are broken down, the shelves are in piles, and most of it is palletized.

The big move is coming...

New updates!

Walls, sinks, kilns, electricity!

Who could ask for more?

In this episode: The walls are changing color, we find a free range sink, wild electrical panels are tamed, and the gas kiln finds a home.

From class 1 to 2, paint on the walls.

Monday - Things are moving fast

Things are shaping up nicely at the new building!

Important parts are being installed as this is being written.  Walls are going up and sheetrock is being applied to them, kilns are being moved, and air conditioning ductwork is being carefully put into place.  All these things are coming together to the point that you probably wouldn't recognize it as the same building if you toured it before the work started.

Stay tuned!  It's only going to get more exciting!
