horizonsound, 27 October 2008Here comes the frame. I thought i'd be able to handle this one on my own, but had to call in some extra help. Almost got it done until the rain came. HS005.JPG
xSpace, 27 October 2008You thought you could frame a building by yourself? Man, you Aussies are Tough! A few sew ums' So um, the header, large 2X material, over the windows, is that typical,…

horizonsound, 3 November 2008Hey Deanna, I think I met you a few years back at the evelyn. I was wearing a Redresser shirt. Were you involved in the Flowercut Festival? I was stage tech in 04 and…
horizonsound, 7 December 2008Moving along....now got the frame done, windows, roof battens. Doesn't seem like too much, but it has been a ball-breaker. It's either burning hot outside, or pouring…

horizonsound, 4 May 2009Some more pics of the work in progress. All the insulation is done, except the ceiling. Bricking on the outside is pretty close as well, and a major step was getting the…
horizonsound, 4 May 2009My soffits are at 30°. They're designed to fit passive Event 20/20 monitors in, which are about 400 x 250 in size each. ...yeah, those sound screen batts are the…
horizonsound, 4 May 2009Absolutely sure they are strong enough. The doors are double studded on the hinged side, and the windows are fitted to non-supporting walls (90x35 studs all-round). I've…
horizonsound, 10 June 2009ok...finally getting to see the end of hanging this plasterboard. those full sheets are around the 40kg (88lb) mark each, and i did it all without help, which was…

horizonsound, 11 September 2010Here's a few more photos of the studio, after half of the treatment has been installed. A few very loud bands have recorded in here live, and the isolation is pretty…
