Wired for Something…
Well… here’s the pix I’ve promised…
Good news! The electricians were here today to start wiring the place up!
These last two shots are the pseudo “money shots” of the day. Since the finish treatments are so thick; 3/4″ MDF, 2 Layers of MDF and the finish lumber, we’re having to extend the electrical boxes and the […]
Talk About ROCK and Roll…
I had one heck of a fun afternoon yesterday. I rented a jack hammer to try and break up this one HUGE granite rock that sits right in front of the parking pad.
After 3 rounds and 6 hours… the final score was Rock-4 Me-2. I’ve only been able to bust that rock up enough to […]
It’s About Time!
It’ll be a day or so before pix are up, but the framing is like 99.9% DONE!!!
The boxing at the rear CR ceiling is up, and all of the blocking and fire blocking is done as well!
I’ve GOT to get some mineral wool purchased ASAP. I really do need to get the the fire barriers […]
Good, Bad and Ugly
Well, it’s a mixed bag today…
My buddy who’s in from DFW, AtticusFinch, and I survived the recording session. It was extremely brutal hours. We had a major problem with the venue’s splitter snake and tying in to it with our snake. We eventually got it sussed out and the recording session came off without a […]
Water-Loo
The plumber’s came in yesterday (Thursday) and got everything ready for inspection!
The pan is in, hot and cold water lines, protective plates and the test valves are on!
They put 100 PSI on the lines and filled the drains with water… e.g. ready and waiting for inspection. Which they called in for the inspection to be […]
More Little Bitty Pieces (and a coupla’ biggun’s)
The framers stopped by yesterday. WOO HOO!!
They worked on the Control Room ceiling. We got about half of the blocking in after getting the air returns and the air supply boxing done. So now, all of the rafters for the Control Room are done. All that’s left are the second row of blocking and to […]
Little Bitty Pieces
Man, oh man, there are TONS of loose ends to get cleaned up and done… some of which I took care of yesterday.
The biggie of the day was hunting down and hiring a tile contractor for the bathroom. Dovetailing in with that, is a new modification to the North Carolina plumbing code…
After several calls, I […]
Singin’ in the Shower
Well, a bit of a strange weekend…
The framers didn’t get the two walls up for the shower, so I’ve drawn that as my lot to do. No biggie, but a biggie.
The framers ended up concentrating on getting the banding done on the exterior wall of the Tracking Room. There’s a few things they didn’t get […]
Ride My See-Saw Rafter Line!
OK, just a stoopid little question… do ya’ think I’m happy right now?
A couple of questions and comments from Recording.Org about the rafters undulating…
Yeah, they do undulate across the top pretty bad, it’s almost a 1/2″ shift overall.
The reason they do undulate, is that we tried to keep the bottom edges as aligned as possible, […]
