Now, with all the permits obtained and several inspections completed, the figurative light is SamFit Albany having more of a defined end time to the project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur contractors have been hard at work replacing electrical and reframing the interior of the SamFit Albany building,\u201d said Wink. \u201cNow that framing has been replaced and fire damaged areas repaired, things are progressing rapidly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work continues with exterior restoration and painting, and electrical replacement and upgrades planned for completion in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the electrical work is signed off, drywalling crews can finish their work, which will leave flooring and interior painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe look forward to moving the exercise equipment in to open by end of December,\u201d said Wink.&nbsp; \u201cIt will be a very thankful holiday season to have our doors reopened.
