Concrete #1



This week is concrete week. They've poured the first section which includes the locker rooms and showers, as well as part of the open area in the empty part of the building. Today, they continued prepping the second big section which they will pour tomorrow, then they'll do the court floors on Thursday. Friday will be some clean up work and they cut the saw marks so that the concrete cracks where we want it to, not where it wants to.

By the way, the un-paved area in the picture above has nothing to do with the squash club--it's where the restroom will be in the tenant space next to the club. It's left un-finished so that the tenant has some control over where the plumbing will go in that space.

Are the court floors going to be built on concrete? What I am wondering is, will the floor be hard or will it have some cushion or spring to it (making it easier on the knees and feet, etc)?

The progress looks great! Keep it up.

The court flooring is 3 inches of layered wood and rubber which provides a nice springy surface that's easy on the legs. Thanks for reading.
