- Hey, guys.
Welcome back to the Doctor Cliff, AuD, vlog.
This is vlog number eight.
And it's been three days
since they actually started doing some work
inside of the empty space here.
So I'm actually going to take you in,
and show you what they've done up until now.
All right, so you can see
that there's actually been some stuff going on
since the last time that I filmed in here,
which was this past Sunday.
Today is Friday.
And they've had three days.
So they started on Wednesday,
and the main work that they've done is two different things.
Number one,
you can see that there's a big trench dug out right here.
And this is essentially where the plumbing
has been installed.
So they actually had a couple of plumbing pipes
coming up from here originally.
But they went ahead and they dug out
all of this trench to lay pipe in through here.
And now we actually have some areas
where the stools inside of the,
inside of the rest area will be,
so there'll be a toilet here.
There'll be a toilet over there.
So there'll be like a male, female restroom.
And then they have some of the other water pipes
here as well.
And then they dug that trench all the way around to the back
'cause in the back corner over there,
that's actually where our break room is going to be.
So there'll be a sink inside of there.
It'd be like a little kitchenette, it'll be in there.
So, they did a lot of work digging this all out.
They cut through all that concrete,
and then laid the pipe down,
and put rock over top of it
so at some point they'll have someone come in
and pour concrete back over that to seal it all in.
But the other cool thing that they've done
is that they've actually done
a little bit of insulation above us.
So, you can see,
and the echo is significantly better in here
'cause there's just a lot of insulation up there now.
And they've already started pulling the duct work
down from the ceiling as well.
So we can see right up here
that is the start of the duct work there.
And then, they already have some more of the pipes
that will take that duct work through,
so it's pretty cool to see what they've done
up until this point.
This place is a little dusty compared to what it was
the last time that we were in here a week ago.
And I'm kind of bummed because I was going to show you guys
all of the chalk mark out lines
of where all the rooms and stuff were,
but it's actually too dirty and dusty in here
for me to be able to show you that right now.
But it's actually just pretty cool to see
that they've already started pulling in some stuff here.
And the duct work, there are some here,
and there's actually one over there that I looked now
because we're going to have two air-conditioner units
to feed this entire place.
So, it looks like a lot of good, solid work has happened
over the course of the past couple of days here.
And so, as of right now, what we get,
it seems like we're still on track.
All right, so we just came outside here
'cause I want to give you a little bit more
of an outside perspective of something,
and point something out to you.
So, that's actually the building that we're going to be in.
I'm facing north here.
That direction is north.
And so we're on the south side of this complex here,
building D, and we'll be right on the corner there,
just past those mailboxes that you can see.
So there's the couple of handicapped spots
right essentially really close to the front door,
which is really significantly better
than where we're at right now
in terms of the handicapped parking.
So, the other thing that I want to point out
is something that was really important to us
when we started this process.
The general contractor that we elected to go with
is one that we picked
because she is really eco-friendly and eco-conscious
when doing her construction projects.
And that was something that was really important to us.
And we're trying to do everything that we can
for this to be an eco-friendly build-out.
So, you know, doing simple things
like going with all LED lighting
which significantly reduces the electric footprint
that we will have or the electricity draw
that we'll have inside the clinic.
And then selecting some more eco-friendly materials
in terms of the build-out as well.
And then, of course, doing things like recycling
as much as we can in this entire process.
So, the environment is something
that's really important to us,
and that's something that we want to make sure
that we're paying attention to
when doing this build-out as well.
So, hopefully we'll be able to give you more updates
along the lines of what that entails
in terms of this build-out.
But it's just a really exciting thing
that's really important to us.
So hopefully, you guys have enjoyed this vlog.
Make sure that you check out the other vlogs
if you haven't had a chance to already.
And subscribe to the channel,
make sure that you stay up-to-date
with this building project that we're doing.
And hopefully, as of right now, we are on track.
It's only been three days,
but hopefully we continue to stay on track.
And we'll come back and do this a couple more times
over the course of the next week,
hopefully to keep you posted on all the progress.
So take care and I'll see you soon.
