Spring is approaching and we have more rain and less snow around here. We are starting to get studio bookings that could be after the new spaces are open, but it’s still pretty hard to know exactly when that will be.
The electricians got the house transferred over to the new power service which means we were able to say goodbye to the awful looking temporary power pole out front.
The exterior ladders showed up making it a lot easier to get on the roof when needed.
One really talented architect that we met with very early on told us that while he was interested in our project, he wasn’t interested in working with the old house. He recommended we tear it down, as tying a new building to the old house would be too problematic. I’m definitely glad we kept the house but there have been a few glitches. We’ve had a lot of rain lately and leaks where the roof of the house joins the roof of the new building. At this point we have all but one very elusive leak eliminated.
The warmer weather brought back the landscapers who managed to get just about everything other than sod done this week. Also, how I wish this outhouse was not in the middle of our new entrance.
The new fence posts are in and once everything is done they will bring the wood slats to complete the fence that surrounds the front yard.
Duct work continued in the studios. This is the main feed line entering above the iso booths in studio 1.
Sheet rock showed up, a LOT of sheet rock. We have piles like this in most rooms of the studio and we don’t even have it all yet.
First layer of sheet rock goes up in control room 2.
More sheetrock in control room 2.
First layer going up in studio 1. You can see the hvac duct coming through the top of the wall above the iso booth door. The ceiling will hang just above that duct.
The instrument gallery sheetrock was finished quickly.
The other wall of studio 1. All three layers of 5/8” sheet rock will be taped and mudded.
The second level of sheetrock is going up in studio 1. The seems are staggered and the corners are lapped. The opening on the right is the window into control room 1.
