John Sayers' Recording Studio Design Forum

You got it Steve. Can't sneak anything past you huh?

In regards to my own project, I'll be starting on it in about a month. Give or take honey do's etc. AND my new occupation. Ha. I could get sent to another city for a few months at a time, so that might deter the best laid plans even futher..
In regards to that thread, I've got to re read that whole thread, among others, in context, cause something still is eating at my craw. Haven't put it into final format yet, but something is just not ....well lets just say kosher. I dunno. But I'll get to the bottom of it yet. Just haven't got all the facts straight.
In the meantime, please understand my motive here. Ether things are, or they arn't. Plain and simple. If grey areas are ok for some, they better be ok for everyone. Otherwise its bull. As to my questions there, I'm a layman, and Eric knows it. He WOULDN"T have gone to that length if I hadn't touched a nerve.
And sorry to drag my curiosity over here, but I follow the smoke to find the fire. That being said, yea Steve, I'd love to follow you up on that proposal. Give me some time to get some crap out of the way first though. Then I'll really jump on it. I like the herringbone idea too. You read my mind.
Anyway, thanks for the offer. I'll put my ...ahem, curiosity to rest one of these days. Maybe when the shovel pats my face.
Aaron, sorry for imposing on your thread. I was just curious, thats all.
Thanks again Steve.
Rick

Cool; I didn't see a prob temporarily "hijacking", since Aaron's also doing hangers; I figured he might wanna think about doing the same experiment -

Spare time??? What the heck is that? It hasn't been a part of my vocabulary let alone reality in nearly 2 years...

OK...good news...The control room floor is complete. Lookin' great. I hope to accomplish more over the weekend. Monday is my B-day, so I'm taking a 3 day weekend and taking next Thursday & Friday off before the party to do as much as I can. I hope to have the rear soffit walls done and finish the front. Possibly move the console into the control room??? (A big maybe).

Gotta run...Everyone have a good weekend.

Happy B-Day man, be sure and stay away from that wild pussy (your hand will thank you

For those who don't get the pun...

Pun hell, thats good advice no matter BTW Aaron Happy B-day!!

Thanks everyone.

Had a great B-day. Went and had dinner (it took 'em almost an hour to serve the food, so they comp'd the whole thing... ) Then my friend took me to the strip club (yeah...different Pu$$y this time). Got hammered (still recovering today) and hugged the porcelin throne .

OK, here's the latest update from the weekend. Finished the second layer of plywood on the front wall. Terminated all the electrical for the front wall in the panel. Front wall now has juice. Placed my speakers in the front wall (Holy crap!!! It's amazing the difference in sound now. The boom boom is gone (of course I still need to bring my sub down there). Those traps are working great!! Started the wood frame for the 703 & fabric on the lower front wall. Measuring out for the Bezels, etc.

I love it when a plan (with or without band-aids) comes together...

sorry - wrong thread..

made some more room by removing irrevelant pix

OK, after the temporary thread jacking...here we go. Back to the latest. I've had these pix developed since mid April, but have been too busy to scan them. Just brought a new server online here at the office, so that's consumed every moment of my time the last few weeks.

So, here we go...

Most of these pix are of the front soffit wall. I'll have more after these in the next couple weeks...

more...
