16 Tons and whaddaya’ get?
A sore back and Ooof… I’m beat…
Here’s what I started with this morning…
Here’s where I ended…
I started out by backfilling the footings with almost 10 tons of 6/7 cravel… then finishing off with Crush-n-Run gravel. What’s really sad is that while I have enough of the 6/7 to finish off the footers;
We completely ran out of the ABC/Crush-n-Run! I think we need another 16 tons to be safe. There’s a few other odds and ends I’m gonna need extra gravel for, so it ain’t like it’s gonna go to waste…
The rain did leave things pretty wet. The tractor chewed the ground pretty good, but since it’s all gotta be landscaped anyway…
At any rate, here are the pix I promised of the sand and expansion joints, etc…
This is looking from the hallway into the studio
These are all view looking from the tracking room towards the control room
This is the view from the isolation booth looking at the control room
The first pick is pretty much the view from the “sweet spot”… the other is from the corner of the control room looking at the other corner of the studio.



“SIXTEEN TONS”
By Merle Travis
Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man’s made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood, skin and bones…
A mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong
