In The Short Rows!
Well, the framing is moving right along!
All that’s left are 3 walls and the Tracking Room ceiling framing!
The Hallway/Iso is framed!… the attic access hole is in too!
The mirrored false door in the Control Room is in!
The main wall that Separates the bathroom from the server room is in too!
All that remains is the door […]
Heavy Duty Lumber
I got the LVL Beam ordered for the Tracking Room yesterday afternoon.
It should be delivered on Tuesday morning!
The beam is 5-1/2″ x 20″ x 30′… this puppy is gonna weigh some serious weight. Thank goodness it comes as 3 1-3/4″ pieces that we can assemble!
I also stopped and picked up double 2×12 joist hangers and […]
Now, I’ve Been Stood Up!
The walls to the Control Room are up!
And yes… there really is a 1″ gap between the walls
In Over My Head
Today was just about as crazy as it gets…
The framers showed up, pretty much unexpectedly. I discussed them needing to change the door header at the interior double door.
I gave them a hand getting that 2×12 header out and getting the correct header put in.
On the way to the day gig, I was “forced” to […]
I’m Being Framed!
The framing continues…
The thing that bothers me is that I discussed the interior door’s header construction with the framers. I showed them the prints and I thought we all understood the prints before I left to go get more lumber. When I came back, they had installed a triple 2×12 header instead of the 2×6 […]
A Life In The Day
Been a coupla’ days since I posted anything I know, but things have indeed been going on.
LOT’S has been going on!
Let’s see… oh yeah, first things first… my wife has also learned to share… So, she’s shared the flu with me again!
Now that I’m actually reasonably vertical and under my own power… shaky and short […]
Another Nail In the Wall
I have been working rather diligently on the Iso Booth framing. However, I should note that being the good husband I am, I’ve managed to share the flu with the Mrs.
As one would expect, she’s just thrilled with the situation. Poor girl, she’s got it alright. Thankfully not as bad as I did. So I’ve […]
Up, Up and Away!
WOO HOO!
The Isolation Booth is up!!! Well…. not completely, but all the walls are standing!
I’ve still got to get the fire blocking in before I put the rest of the studs in and put the top plate on…
Here’s some shots of the concrete pour yesterday… couldn’t stand to be outside […]
Put up a parking lot
Here’s the reply I received at Recording.Org about the Control Room framing…
“Max,
The existing exterior wall (party wall to the lounge) is 2×8 correct?
And these are continuous from sill to underside of the trusses?
Right?
OK- structurally we want these to remain that way.
IN the plan view of the wall framing ( detail 1 on A-2.6) it indicates […]
Moving Right Along
Okay, this framing stuff is getting interesting.
In preparation for the existing rear Control Room wall to get re-framed for the equipment bays, I gotta be sure I’m not doing anything that is in code violation, or worse… that would cause a structural failure of the exterior wall where the ceiling and roof of the lounge […]
