This is an up-to date photo (8/10/07) of the new dojo being built on 2nd Street. 
As of 06/21/07, we had completed the stem
wall and Trombe Wall
(passive solar collection), and started on the sub-floor.
SIPs panels (The kind with OSB on two sides and insulation
sandwiched in the middle) arrived in the next two weeks and were put
up about a week after that.
Layout:
There is no image available, but the dojo space will be
approximately 2400 sq ft on the west side of the building and will have
a vaulted ceiling. Most visitors and karateka will enter from the
Second Street side into a reception area. Sensei's office will be in
the back and there are two bathrooms on the first floor.
Upstairs, their is a viewing area for the training area, and
space to stretch, do homework and hold meetings. Two dressing
rooms, one further bathroom and a very small kitchenette will complete
the upstairs. We hope to have this ready to move into early fall
'07
Update: 11/08/2007
Exterior Stucco is finished and Tom "Can Do
Concrete" is pouring the front steps today (Wheelchair ramp will be in
back). Toilets are operational, there is heat in the building,
the electricians are almost done and the upstairs railing almost
complete. The carpet is in, tile 3/4 finished and the wood for
the dojo floor is acclimating, it may be started this week. We don't
have pictures for a lot of this yet, it's been kinda busy.
