Well, the new dojo is getting closer to completion. We are revamping an old shop behind my house into a dojo. so far we have gotten all shelves and workbenches removed, torn out old panneling, and cleaned up. But, as all projects, this one has grown from our original conception. some of the wall studs in one wall have rotted because of water seeping through the bricks, so I am going to have to replace those wall studs and trench some drainage outside that wall of the building. Overall I don't think that will be too much of a problem. After that we will install new panneling, air conditioning, and carpet prior to the Grand reopening at the beginning of August. Over the course of the next few months (before winter) we intend to revamp the lighting and finish the cosmetics. Over the course of the next year we plan to replace the back door with French doors and construct a deck out back. Wish us luck (or, come help.)
