The electricians started today and it also looked like there was some tiles moved on the roof. Are the windows in yet?
ReplyDeleteDominic, Randy, Gary and myself marked the floor for the pool table light supports for the contractor. He will laser up to the ceiling from our marks then install the electrical and pool table light supports.
ReplyDeleteToday they were putting tar on the roof of the CRC. They were also heating up their menudo lunch in a pot on the tar machine. True story.
ReplyDeleteThe windows for the CRC have been delivered.
ReplyDeleteToday the pool table light supports, backing for the shelves and T.V. were installed. Also the carpet in the old pool room will be pulled up. They are scheduled to start on the stucco on Monday. We're rolling now!
ReplyDeleteThe CRC is being wrapped in insulation and wire mesh in preparation for the stucco today.
ReplyDeleteThe CRC is totally wrapped and waiting for the stucco. The CRC has passed the appropriate inspections and can now move forward with the sheetrock.
ReplyDeleteOur 3 new Connelly Ventana pool tables have arrived at the vendor in Phoenix and are awaiting the word to deliver them. I was told that the sheetrock will start on Monday and the stucco is still a few weeks away.
ReplyDeleteYesterday the sheetrock was been delivered and they started putting it up on the walls.
ReplyDeleteThe old Starter Shack has been sheetrocked. Where are the tapers and mudders when you need them?
ReplyDeleteThey are putting on the first coat of Stucco today. They are doing it by hand, not spraying it on. They said the first coat will take 1 day.
ReplyDeleteThe first coat of stucco has been applied. They will let it cure for a day and then apply the final coat for texture. The furniture is scheduled to be delivered on Nov 5th.
ReplyDeleteLots of activities going on at the CRC. Drop ceiling supports are in. Sheetrock taping is ongoing and the mud is being applied. The Catalina Recreation Center new sign is up. Two of the workers had an encounter with a rattlesnake, they captured it and removed it. The snake was found just a few feet to the west of the front door to the old Starter Shack.
ReplyDeleteYesterday the 2 exit doors were installed and HOA1 Maintenance was getting directions on where to move the pool table light supports. Today I didn't see any activity at the CRC.
ReplyDeleteToday the texture is being put on the stucco exterior. The interior has been painted. The electricity will be off on Tuesday October 30th in the building and the bathrooms will be shut down so that electrical work can be done.
ReplyDeleteThey have been working hard on the landscaping around the Catalina Rec Center. Early next week we will be moving in our billiard accessories and furniture. We're trying to make the billiard room a comfortable, functional billiard room for all the residents of SaddleBrooke.
