Classes will be held via Zoom tonight. During the final inspection today, the inspector found one thing that must be changed, a specific light switch must be used in the utility closet. The electrician is coming early in the morning to change it out. Then the inspector must come back and verify that it is complete. We are super exited; the mirrors are ordered and being installed on Tuesday. Also, the mat floors have been ordered and should be delivered in 2-5 business days. We are so very close now!
Our final HVAC inspection passed today!
Our final occupancy permit inspection is on Wednesday, August 10th at 2 pm. Cross your fingers that all goes well, and we can be in our new dojo this week! In the meantime, my house looks like an Amazon shipping warehouse. These are the new packages that came in this week. I have many more items ready to go that have been stored in my basement.
Annual Karate Family Potluck Picnic is back!
We are finally able to have our annual karate family picnic again!
Date: Sunday, August 21st, 2022
Time: 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Location: Vago Park
2700 Fee Fee Rd, Maryland Heights, MO 63043, USA
RSVP: teache@gatewayshidokan.com by Friday, August 19th, 2022
Description: For all current and past students, it is time for our annual Karate Family Potluck Picnic. We will be in the large pavilions in the very back of the park, next to restrooms, basketball court, playground, and bike trail. Hot dogs, condiments, forks/spoons/knives, plates, napkins, and water will be provided. Please bring a dish to share with everyone and non-alcoholic drinks for your family. We recommend bringing water guns for added fun. We will need to know the number of people in your household who will be attending, so the correct number of hot dogs are purchased.
Look, it is almost ready for us!
We are so close! All the finishing touches are done, except for the wall mounted feminine hygiene receptacle. The landlord has it to give to the contractor. So, just the HVAC final inspection approval and the occupancy approval are left. I can’t wait to officially get in the door and start putting in our details, such as mirrors, mat floor, heavy bag, and makiwaras. As soon as we get occupancy, we will start training at the dojo. I will let everyone know as soon as it happens!
Not yet...Almost...
Unfortunately, the HVAC final inspection did not pass today. There are two things that must be corrected before they reinspect it. So, we will not be in the dojo for NTS on Saturday and classes will be held via Zoom for the early part of next week. Hopefully we will be in the dojo mid next week, fingers crossed. However, we do have much of the finishing touches done, just a few more to go.
