Get ready to float!

We’re opening our calendar in stages, starting Wednesday, February 25th. In our crowdfunding campaign last fall, we promised our backers that they could get in to the tanks first. So:

1) First shot goes to our crowdfund backers: check your email at noon on Wednesday the 25th.

2) Everyone who preordered should check their email at noon on Saturday the 28th.

Our calendar will be open to everyone on Wednesday, March 4th!

Thank you, everyone, for your patience and ongoing support! It means so much to us.

A piece of bad news to lead off with: after delays with inspections, some extra work from surprises in the walls, and scheduling problems over the holidays, our contractors our now saying they expect to be finished in early February.

The work so far is looking great, though.  Electrical and plumbing roughin inspections are both signed off, and we’ll be closing up the walls next week.

For several days after the electricians started, there were tangles of armored cable everywhere, like Doctor Octopus had just lost a fight.
