2005-06 Summer Photos - Finishing B4 continued

Jumping ahead to the end of the summer...here's the completed stairwell. The ceiling installation was not quite done yet...(NS)

...but here's my radiant 2008 photo of what it looked like when finished.

And yes, here's a January 2009 view of that large round map of Antarctica on the ceiling (JD).

Back in the gym, the FCB installation was continuing quickly (JM).

Looking the other way...it's almost done (PR/APL).

By the end of the summer (and conditional occupancy) the FCB had been sealed, and the walls above the padding were complete. But there was still a bunch of material that needed to go away through that temporary door in the south wall (CB).

A bit later, some of the stuff was gone, and the place was almost usable for basketball (DB).

Here is the northeast corner (DB).

The upstairs was complete; here the exercise equipment was being assembled (CB).

And, the musical instruments were moved into the activity room...the thing to note here is that there isn't anything posted on the walls yet (DB).

There was one last thing that came out during the final inspection... the emergency exit. The plan was to install a temporary access... but that wouldn't do. A permanent stair was required. The REAL permanent stairway wouldn't fit because of the ramp, and there wasn't time to assemble it anyway. So...(JM)

Putting it together...supposedly all of this had to happen in 24 hours (JM).

Almost done (JM).

And there it is (JM).

The temporary stair remained until the 2007-08 summer, when it was removed for the siding installation, after which this permanent stair was installed (January 2008, JM).
