If you missed update 1 check it out first.

Now we are putting up the frames for the booths. They are made up on the floor and then stood into place. All frames are sitting on strips of rubber 50mm x 12mm (2" x 1/2") which compresses down as the weight of the frames increases.

Note that the frames have the plaster on the outside leaving the thickness of the
stud (70mm - 3") for the internal acoustic treatment. On the left we are negotiating around the staircase to the flat and you can see the other support pole. On the right the booth walls are up and the control room wall is being added with the door and window opennings.

..............

Now the booths are taking shape and the control room and piano studio walls are going up. Notice the other steel pole that holds up the upstairs flat. We will box it in later.

.......

Next the airconditiong ducts are going into the piano studio, the ceiling rafters are going into place and the cooling units are being installed in the roof directly above the studio. There are three units - one for each room.

Brian has accused me of remaining mysterious so here goes...........
me at my computer in the flat above the studio and having dinner with Amirel's wife Yuko.
I should note that it is september, start of spring here, yet we have eaten outside for the past month and had 25 - 30 degree days when normally we are sitting around fire places etc. We haven't had rain for 3 months and we are now heading into a drought. Who knows what the summer will bring this year.
