Seats Placed In Balcony

Movers were busy on Tuesday uploading chairs with a scissor lift onto the balcony. The seats will be bolted into place soon. The chairs were acquired from the Citadel Theatre, Edmonton, about two years ago when that theatre underwent a 'face lift'. The chairs were stored compliments of the Camrose Canadian for all of this time. Contact us if you would like to purchase a seat or two in this choice location, as there are still a few left.

Restoration Speeds Up

Our drywall expert puts some final touches on the ceiling under the balcony. Mudding and sanding is being completed in preparation for the painters who will paint the lobby and walls wherever gyproc has been installed on the main floor. They will work their way throughout the Bistro area, and on to the basement to transform the many rooms in the fully developed lower level. Things are really speeding up as we move toward opening day. Stay tuned for photos of the painting phase, which will show a major transformation. Photo by David Roth.

Bistro Area Evolves

The Bistro area continues to evolve. This photo shows us the air handling ducts are being tucked in above the ceilings and will soon be concealed by the suspended ceilings in the lobby and Bistro. All the Gyproc walls are up, taped, and sanded awaiting the first coats of paint. Photos thanks to David Roth.

Curved Ceiling Over Bar

Workers recently put Gyproc on the curved ceiling above the bar in the bistro area. Stay tuned for updates on this. Photo by David Roth.

Auditorium Floor Renewal

The auditorium has been given some serious attention these days. The old damaged 100 year old fir flooring has been torn out, leveled, and replaced with T&G plywood which has been screwed and glued in place in preparation for new flooring. The replacing floor will be 1 x 4 T & G fir flooring in keeping with the theme of days gone by. Watch for updates of the auditorium. Photo courtesy of David Roth.

Back End Gets Attention

The back of the Bailey Theatre has received its first layer of stucco, shown in this photos. More attention is being given to the outside of the building, as insulation is applied all around in preparation for more stuccoing. (Recycle bins will eventually replace the port-a-potty.)

Volunteers Busy

Volunteers were busy at The Bailey onLabour Day weekend. The balcony was scrubbed on Saturday, primed on Sunday, and painted on Monday. Pictured in the top left photo are Dan Olofson, (at 12 o'clock) Ross Shuman (standing), Sheila Viegas, (kneeling) and Carole-May Coty. Bottom photo shows the completed paint job preparing the way for the seats to be installed. Photos taken by David Roth who also scrubbed and painted each of the days.
