New Ceilings, refinished floors, framing

This month we made huge strides in making the London Clay Art Centre our own space.

The ceiling is now fully dry walled. A skilled craftman has repaired the part of hardwood floor by patching the broken and missing pieces using old wood salvaged from an unneeded section. The floor was sanded and refinished and it looks fabulous. Plumbing and electricity continue. We also removed a huge safe that had been left. The concrete floor has been poured and levelled and it also looks great. Construction is beginning on the walls for the kiln room and glaze kitchen.

The eighth and final geo thermal hole was drilled outside by Contract Drilling Professionals, and the HVAC system will be completely installed soon.

City regulations require a clean basement, so a crew of dedicated Guild members hauled out all the junk that the previous 100 years' owners had left.

Meanwhile, we prepare to move from our East Lions Artisans Centre to our new home. No August classes have been scheduled, and potters are completing their pieces prior to the move. We are on track for a September move in and a launch of our fall classes.

A clean white ceiling is now complete, and our concrete floor is smooth and level.	A steel beam seperates the front gallery and lounge area from the rest of the space.
The repaired and refinished hardwood floors look beautiful and the restrooms are being framed.	Some of the side wall as also complete.
Our basement is now cleaned out and up to code.
