I can't believe our last update was on the 1st of March!

Well, we've been really busy with the clinic and have lots of updates. Michael has been coordinating up a storm and putting hard hours of physical labor into the job - framing, putting in lights, hanging cable trays, and laying out where everything goes.

This past weekend my parents came up from Los Angeles to spend the weekend with us and celebrate my birthday. We had a great visit and roped them into helping at the clinic - birthdays are great for that! My dad helped Michael with framing and when my mom and I arrived with painting supplies we all set to work on priming part of the big wall - prepping for casework installation. That wall is high! But my dad did enjoy riding the scissor lift up and down after Michael strategically placed it between the truss and ductwork, without hitting the plumbing stubs! Man, can he drive that lift!

As far as schedule goes, things are looking great! Michael is coordinating all of the subs to their maximum potential and to their credit, the subs are working hard and getting things done on time or ahead of schedule!

Michael's prediction

Week 3: Rough plumbing complete. Rough framing complete. Storage space electrical installed.

Week 4: HVAC registers installed, returns and supplies dropped into rooms with ceilings. HVAC venting installed (dryer vent, gas waterheater vent, medgas vent, bathroom exhaust vent). Pressure piping for oxygen and nitrogen installed. Medical waste gas system installed.

So far, half way into Week 4, we have rough framing completed, storage space electrical installed, oxygen and nitrogen outlets installed, pressure piping for oxygen and nitrogen half way finished, medical waste gas system installed, the HVAC guys are in there today working on the vents and the electricians started installing the electrical work in the stud walls yesterday (that's a week 5 goal!). Extras include framing in the display shelf by the front door, framing the reception counter - Michael is hoping to finish that today, hanging cable trays - Michael finished that yesterday for the pressure piping to rest on - it looks really cool, primer started on the big wall - mom, dad and myself worked on that and I'm going back in tonight to continue, all silver straps on the ceiling painted to camouflage their existence - I finished this on sunday - what a huge job but it looks great, and can lights and bathroom vent installed - Michael's expertise once again.

We also had an electrical inspection of the back space (where radiology is located) yesterday, so the landlord can finish the ceiling - yay we passed. Next is the rough framing inspection and then the electrical inspection, once the electricians finish, and then the dry wall can go up! Once the dry wall is up we'll be calling the painting team back up from California for another session.
