Control room drywall... up and up and up...

Over the weekend I was able to pull a few lights and power outlets from my ass and put them in the control room. Now I have two, 4 outlet boxes for my gear and 4 bright can lights to shine down on my desk when I need to get serious about cables. 10 sheets of drywall went up! Shit, that went fast. I need more drywall to finish off this room but at least the structure I built is mostly finished. The rest will be a breeze.

Outlets and......

So I got some new outlets installed... and they work, that's good. I also installed some can lights in the partial ceiling. Got some drywall up and will finish off this room soon. Lovin' it.

Control room ceiling...

The control room partial ceiling has been framed and the adjoining wall has been stuffed with insulation. The ceiling is at a slight angle and will house lights. I have a electrician friend coming by this week to help me get my thoughts together, then I can be on my way to drywalling and finish this room up.

Control Room Walls Down...

Thee smallest updates in the history of studio building.

I managed to clean up all my gear last night and get it tucked away from any debri coming forth during the next month. I have another session to record 4 songs for a local band, Internation Date Lines in November and need to mix Sticks and Stones as soon as I get my monitor driver in the mail. 

The control room is all studs now and the next step is to finish framing and begin insulating and drywalling the control room so I can leave my gear setup on a more regular basis. Here's a photo.

First session...

I had my first session with a great local band Sticks and Stones. Still in construction phase but sounding good already. If they ever put something up online somewhere I will post a link. Here's a few photos.

Window in wall...

Last night (with the help of my buddy Lee) we got the window up in the wall. It's solid and the rest of this wall is ready to start finishing. Here are some photos:

 

Window DONE!

Framing this window took a lot longer than I thought but here's a photo of it below. It's 11 1/4" wide with a 6 inch air gap between the panes. I will install it in the wall tonight and move on.
