Construction Plans/Schedule

I've gotten a couple of questions regarding set building for the play, and wanted to let you know what my plans are.

As of now, we really only need three pieces built. A staircase to the bedrooms, a fireplace and mantle, and a large flat that has the front door, window and kitchen door. The kitchen door may end up being on a separate flat, but that won't change the amount of construction very much.

As for dates, I'd like to use Saturday as our build days, and plan to start on April 30. That will give us four weekends on which we can build set. On the third Saturday (May 14), we can actually move the set pieces to the Garza Mainstage and finish any building, painting and trim work at that time.

I apologize that this isn't in calendar format, but here is what I have in mind:

Saturday, April 30
Build staircase (top priority)
Build Fireplace (time permitting)
Paint completed set pieces (time permitting)

Saturday, May 7
Build Fireplace (top priority)
Build Front Door/Window flat (time permitting)
Build Kitchen Door flat (time permitting)
Paint completed set pieces (time permitting)

Saturday, May 14
Paint Floor (top priority)
Paint Upstage wall (time permitting)
Move all set pieces to Garza backstage/wings

Sunday, May 15
Paint Upstage wall (top priority)
Locate all set pieces on Garza Mainstage
(includes hanging all hooks, plaques, etc.)
Install "Cellar" light fixture, false wall switch and live control to booth
Touchup paint on all set pieces
Setup prop table

Week of May 16-19
Ensure all props are present (top priority)
Complete touchup paint on all set pieces

Saturday, May 21
Complete all Punchlist items
