Construction crews are working overtime through Christmas Break- getting as much done as possible. The gym is just one of the focuses. The floor is currently sanded and almost ready for stain. The gym will be two-toned stain with inside the 3-point line being a darker stain. It will look grand and, of course, customized to reflect JCMS General colors and logo.
