Although we are in the middle of our construction, we had the opportunity to host Kenichi Ishida Hanshi 8 Dan Kendo Seminar at our Dojo. It was a great experience for all of us!

This morning, I had breakfast with the construction crew. Their wives made it. Delicious!
The framing started, and this seems to go fast. The foundation for the building is almost done. They have put the steel bars, and poured the concrete. I personally do not think that we need an A/C system in a Kendo Dojo, specially here in Southern California. However, the California building code requires us to have a heater. Since, the price of a heater only system and a heat/cold air system is not much different, we decided to go with the dual one. We are very spoiled. We have 4 huge A/C system for this Dojo. It took them two whole days to drill 4 holes on this concrete wall. On the parking lot side, the digging continues. This is to connect the drain to the sewer. 1 hour wall is an insulated wall that, if there is a fire, the fire does not pass through from one side of the wall to the other. This used to be a large loading area for the E-BOGU warehouse, but it has now been divided in two. One side will continue to be a warehouse. The other side will be the future lobby for the Dojo. We have to also cut the asphalt on the parking lot to connect the sewer line to the new bathroom and kitchen on the Dojo side. First, you mark down the concrete with a straight line. Then you start cutting the concrete. These machines are quite powerful. |
