- Hey, guys, welcome back to the Dr. Cliff AUD vlog.
This is vlog number 12, and over the course
of this last week as many of you are aware of,
the coronavirus pandemic has really hit the United States,
and so it has slowed some things down
in the clinic, but it really hasn't slowed a whole lot
of stuff down here inside of the new clinic location,
because as you can see here, there's been a lot
of Sheetrocking that has gone up.
So we're starting to actually make this feel
like it's an actual office at this point,
or at least seeing better dimensions
of what the spaces are.
So right here behind me is the waiting area.
So it's about 12 foot wide.
We did measure that, and so that measurement is correct,
and then as we pan over here, you can see the fronts
of the reception area, and it really is not taking form yet,
but at least we have the dimensions
and we can visualize the space a little bit better.
So let me take you into the first treatment room here.
So this treatment room is a little bit different
than the other ones because we actually have Sheetrocking
on this wall right here,
whereas the other two treatment rooms
will actually have glass along the walls.
We still do have a big entryway here.
There will be a glass door with a glass side panel there
to give a little bit more space to the room,
or the appearance of space inside of the room.
Now the one problem that we've identified
is that these rooms are not the size
that we originally intended them to be.
I don't know why, probably because
of the other space requirements,
and maybe the drawings were done incorrectly,
but these rooms are supposed to be 12 foot wide
by 14 and a half foot long, and they are 12 foot wide,
but they're only about 11 and a half foot long.
So that's a lot of square footage
that has been taken out of the actual treatment rooms,
and I hope that it doesn't mess things up
in terms of us being able to provide care
inside of this space.
But we're gonna just have to be very strategic, I guess,
with how we place the furniture inside of here,
and then the size of that furniture, as well.
So as we keep goin' down the hallway,
you can see that it's a five foot wide, which is correct.
We have the restrooms inside of here,
and you can see that those are starting
to take shape, as well.
Really good space in there.
Those are ADA compliant, so eight foot by eight foot.
And then you can see the other two treatment rooms
over here.
So the middle treatment room,
you can see that there's no Sheetrocking on this wall
that is by the hallway.
That's because that will entirely be glass.
And then over here in my office, we did measure these.
They are 12 foot, and they are a little bit longer
because we don't have to take up the space
for the actual wall here because it's just gonna be glass,
so we're gonna gain a little bit of space there.
Inside of this room right here,
this is actually a really good size space in there,
so it's about, I think we measured 17 foot,
16 and a half or 17 foot long for that room,
which is really nice.
And then over here in the back,
this sound booth room has plenty of space.
I thought it was looking pretty small originally,
but you can see that we should have plenty of room
for a good size sound booth back here.
And then this is really how we envisioned it here
where you walk in a door.
This is just gonna be an open entryway
into the hearing aid maintenance area,
and then behind us there we have the break room
over here, and of course all the different water
and plumbing and all that has gone in already.
And then all the electrical you guys saw
that was installed the last vlog that we did.
We're starting to see all the cutouts
for all the electrical inside of here, as well.
So, place is starting to come together.
It's really nice to see that there is Sheetrocking done
at this point, and it makes it seem a little bit more
like it's coming along nicely.
So I'm really excited to see what happens
over the course of this next week.
I don't necessarily think that the coronavirus situation
that we're in right now is going
to negatively impact the speed of which this space
is built out.
It will probably impact things
at my clinic where I'm actually treating patients currently,
but hopefully this all stays on track,
and then we can get moved in here
hopefully around that mid-May timeframe.
So we'll see what happens.
Everybody stay safe.
If you haven't seen the other vlogs,
you can always go back on my YouTube channel
and look at those, and I'll see ya' next week.
