Details, details, details.

Jerry, our intrepid construction superintendent, told me a couple of weeks ago that construction would reach a point when all the "big" stuff is finished, after which we wouldn't notice nearly as much drastic change from day to day. I'm not sure if we're there, yet. But even if we were, I still appreciate and enjoy seeing all that little stuff happen.

If you saw earlier photos of the common area framing, here's another shot of the front offices with electrical wiring in progress.


Jack, the honcho electrician, makes sure it all gets done right.


The first layer of drywall has been hung on the ceilings of the studios and control rooms. Here's a shot of an upper corner of Control Room C.


Another application of green glue will go between this and the next layer of ceiling drywall, then acoustical sealant will make things airtight around the perimeter.

The curved stone walls/Hemholtz Resonators have been prepped for the masons. First a layer of construction felt, to keep moisture from the mortar from penetrating into the wood. Then a layer of wire mesh for the mortar to adhere to. The photo turned out blurry, but I think it's good enough to give you the idea. (Almost all the photos shown in the blog are taken with my iPhone, which doesn't have a flash.)


The stone will start going up within the next day or two. This will be the first "finished" surface of a studio or control room, so I'm pretty excited about seeing it happen. You'll see the photos when it does.

Until next time...
