Sleeves Installed!

Ok.  I'll be honest, it was no picnic installing the sleeves.  It took almost 30 labor hours spent over 3 days for a 2-man crew to install 12 sleeves out at the facility.  Didn't think it would be that difficult, but first we had to core drill through the facility flooring - not too difficult, but then we had to dig out a 2' diameter hole, 14-inches deep underneath the concrete surface through that 6-inch hole we just core-drilled.  After that we had to mix up about 3 bags of non-shrink grout for each of those holes and then have the expertise to set the sleeve plumb and on center with our court flooring.  Really, it was more difficult than it sounds. 

Special thanks to Kim Nakamura for his help and assistance with getting us through this part of the start-up improvements.  Also big thanks to perenial parent volunteer Dan Daley for his volunteering support through this phase.  Twelve sleeves down...only (1) to go!
