My parents went away on a weeks vacation

They left the keys to a brand new …

Wait a minute. Wrong situation.

So you may have heard we are moving.

It’s true. We are moving.

Tuesday will be the last day we are “in” the old location. Tuesday day/evening everything in the gym will be loaded up/cleared out.

Wednesday the painters are coming in to paint our current location. We will still meet at out  current location to do Wednesday’s WOD.

What happens Thursday is kind of a crap shoot at this point. A couple of things need to happen.

1.The final inspection is scheduled for today. The construction superintendent is on vacation until Thursday. This does not fill me with great optimism that the inspection will come off with out a hitch. If we pass the inspection today (fingers crossed) Rich and I will start moving stuff (ie the pull-up bars) Tuesday. If not I dunno.

2. The electricity needs to be turned on. This is a brand new suite so SRP has to install a meter. This could be an issue with the city or it could not. No one has told me. But chances are if the city thinks they can take a dim view on something they usually do.

Not really an issue with moving but with what we are used to.

Flooring. I ordered the floor two weeks ago because the manufacturer said there was a two week lead time. I guess what we have here is a failure to communicate. When I say lead time I mean when will it show up. when they hear lead time they mean when will it leave their dock. They will ship it the 30th. Allegedly. So we will have a 1/3 of a floor for a week or two.

New. We have showers. Yeah! We do not have towel service. We will never have towel service. This ain’t the Ritz. Bring your own towel or blow dry.

Many people have asked about volunteering to move. I would love your help. But as you can tell the plan is a little vague at this point (& by vague I mean you can see it like chicken teeth). I imagine most of the loading/moving will take place during the day and with last minute notice but then again it may all be done after Tuesdays WOD. I dunno.  So please realize that the direction and management you receive if you do volunteer will be muddled and unclear and very little will be done in a straight forward,  productive or logical manner.

If you would like to join me in my last minute panic dance or you’re just interested in watching a train wreck come on down sometime between now & Thursday 5am. If you are helping beer will be provided. If you are watching the train wreck please bring beer.
