August 1st
Hi all,
Well I thought we could get everything done for Aug 1st but I was wrong so there is no grand opening tomorrow unfortunately, we still have LOTS to do at the new building. The first set of classes will be Tuesday night since Monday is a holiday.
Thanks again to everyone who has come out to help over the last few weeks. We could not have done this without all of you......

PS Updated Schedule
Hi everyone,
We got in half the mats yesterday before everyone finally had enough! Thanks to everyone who came out and lugged mats and went home with raw fingers! We will work on getting the rest in tonight after 6pm for anyone who wants to come out and help. This is a bit of a tedious job since the mats aren't all perfect width so you have to pick and choose what mat goes where, kind of like a giant jigsaw puzzle!
We will hopefully have the mats in tonight or tomorrow night and can start brining stuff from the old building over. I will keep everyone updated.
Thanks again for everyone's help!

Mats are out!
Hi all,
OK mats are out! Holy man did they come out fast! THANK YOU to everyone who came and helped, especially the two fork lift drivers Mike and Tracey and all the people who lugged those huge mats in this heat!!!! Thank you to Top Dog as well for allowing us to store the excess mats until we can move them. If anyone is interested in any of the matting they are 40.00 a piece ( 80.00 brand new so a pretty good deal). There is some already spoken for but about 800.00 sq ft left available.
We will be unloading the horse trailer at 9am tomorrow and then going to the new building to start laying mats there at 1pm. The new building should be painted by tonight ( thanks you to everyone who came and helped paint and wash windows etc today!). And thanks to Diane S for finding us Jeremy to do most of the painting!!!
I am not sure if all the mats will be in by Sunday night or not so I will post again later tomorrow on progress for those who asked about plans for the week. We will be moving stuff from the old building to the new building all week so pick up trucks would be very welcome! There is lots of little stuff that needs to get moved as well.
Also we need to do the BBQ on Sunday Aug 2 since Saturday is moving day for Donna and I said we would help. So Sunday Aug 2nd and I said 3pm but if it is really going to be 35 degrees maybe we should start a bit later in the day, like 5pm.Our house gets SOOOO hot with this weather!
And speaking of the hot weather there will be no classes at my house this week at all, first it is too darn hot, second, with all the camp stuff and now moving stuff we have a forest out back because we don't have time to mow!!!!
Thanks again for all the help everyone!
And GOOD LUCK to Mike and Joy who are heading off to Nationals this week!

There will be pizza and drinks for everyone who comes out to help, it will be at the old building at 1pm.HUGE thank you to Mike Shortland for the use of the bobcat with the forklift and his trailer!!! Also to Tracey D for being the forklift driver extraordinaire at the new building!!!
