Lexinator, 13 March 2009Okay, deep breath... Some idiot just offered me more for one of my "hand-built" Harley's than anyone in criminal possession of rational sense could possibly turn down...…
Soundman2020, 14 March 2009Say, Lexx! Hi and welcome! And I vote that your space be officially dubbed the most unusual empty shell ever heard of on this forum! :) I'm not 100% sure, but I don't…
Lexinator, 14 March 2009Thanks for the welcome, Stuart; I forgot something? I read that damned thing three times to make sure I complied. Argh! What did I forget? I guess now would be a bad…
Soundman2020, 14 March 2009All musicians! Except for me.... I'm just a plain old sound engineer. Of course, that doesn't mean you'll get any more rational suggestions out of me that from a…
Lexinator, 14 March 2009Hi xSpace, I thought for a minute there you were telling me that I needed to "get" a life... LOL! I haven't taken a Sound Meter into the cave yet. And, I'm curious to…
Lexinator, 14 March 2009Hi Stuart; The containers sit on an insulated and reinforced concrete "footed" slab. The slab has a foot of foam under it. The guy who built the place cut the flooring…
Lexinator, 14 March 2009Hi John, I still look at it's spot in the shop, and hang my head, but I couldn't turn down the cash... Opportunities like that don't often repeat themselves. So, now I…
Soundman2020, 15 March 2009Man, that is one mean looking machine! It just screams "power!" and "speed"!!!! You could probably actually tow a couple of your containers with that thing! WoW! Once…
Lexinator, 15 March 2009Hi Stuart, Trying to wrap my head around SketchUp, while my baby son tries to climb the entertainment center. I suspect he thinks he's David Lee Roth! :shock: Yeah, I…
Lexinator, 15 March 2009More " Man Cave Audio " gyrations; I've been going thru paper work and engineering reports, and I've come across some stuff that might be interesting. It appears that…
Soundman2020, 15 March 2009That one got a good chuckle out of me! :lol: I get the picture.... And I'm a bit of a perfectionist myself, so I can kind of appreciate what he did. That leaky, ehhhh?…
Lexinator, 15 March 2009Hmmm.... yeah, I suppose we'll need air. I mean, I can hold my breath for a pretty long time, but... eah, I guess we gotta breathe. So air it is! Air all around!…
Lexinator, 15 March 2009Hi there... and thanks for the comment! I appreciate it! It's certainly an unusual space! The odd thing is that it seems like a natural for a recording studio, on it's…
Lexinator, 15 March 2009That ain't the half of it. Everything is "overbuilt." I think he thought the end of the world was coming. People around here call the place "The Mad Max Manhole."…
xSpace, 15 March 2009I don't see the skylights going away. If pressed for it, you could develop closing window plugs to control them and still be able to use them. It may be a simple matter…
Lexinator, 15 March 2009I'd thought about that too. I'd have to build dampening panels about 5' x 5' x (adjusted + or - for whatever thickness) and then just hoist them into place, so they…
Lexinator, 16 March 2009Dude, I ain't getting any younger. In fact, just yesterday, I was carrying my son at WalMart, and somebody asked me if he was my "grandchild." I wanted to smack them…

Soundman2020, 16 March 2009Sorry 'bout that! I couldn't help it: I just couldn't contain myself there.... :) OOOPS! OK, I'll shut up now.... One suggestion: Don't try to do "double doors" in each…
Soundman2020, 16 March 2009:lol: Ain't gonna happen in this forum! If someone tells you that you need to float a floor in that room, then he needs to be floated himself. Down the river. Without a…
Lexinator, 16 March 2009It was getting the layout roughed out that brought me here in the first place. And I'm not a step closer... I suppose I'm looking at it all wrong. I thought that once I…
Soundman2020, 16 March 2009Used to? You mean there's another way of telling time? :) Wait your turn and get in line! Take a number! There's lots of us on that very same journey, and you don't get…
Lexinator, 17 March 2009Gee... I'm sorry, I was a little bit wordy, but I didn't mean to be vague... It's all so new to me... :o I guess what I really need first is an idea of how much space…
Soundman2020, 17 March 2009I know that feeling well. I've had it ever since MY first post on this forum. Except that you actually DO have a decent sized space. If yours is a lifeboat, mine is a…
Lexinator, 17 March 2009The funny thing is that I actually know Mark, and I'm actually trying to help him get that studio sold, so he can build another! That box that he and John built is a…
Lexinator, 17 March 2009Ah Geez... you shouldn't have... SketchUp has been giving me fits. And at my age, that's not a good thing. It confuses the doctors! :lol: I can hear it now; "Was it a…
Soundman2020, 17 March 2009Aw shucks!!! :oops: Say, it was no big deal! It took me maybe half an hour or so to do that. It's easy when you know how! :) Here's the file, if you are interested:…
Lexinator, 18 March 2009Man, SketchUp has a learning curve! Ouch! I'm still struggling with it. I've been giving the "space" some thought, and I thought it'd be a good idea to do a "digital…
Soundman2020, 19 March 2009Cool! We have a basic plan! Comments: 1. You have DOUBLE DOORS for you main entrance! Those will be REALLY hard to seal where they meet in the middle. You need two sets…
Lexinator, 19 March 2009You're absolutely right. I've given thought to that, as we've talked before. This sketch started before that conversation, and I forgot to change it. Senility is a…
Lexinator, 29 March 2009It's not "strange." It's "odd." :o I've been giggin, so I'm just hitting airplanes and wishing for fast cars... :P Where to start... We're moving the studio to another…

Lexinator, 3 June 2009Actually, between touring, raising more money for the improvements to the build, and "design phases" we're still moving forward, albeit slowly. There isn't anything more…
Lexinator, 3 June 2009Are you accusing ME of "snake oil?" Whaaaa? That can't be right! For those that might be; Yep, that's right. I don't have anything better to do that generate miles of…
Lexinator, 3 June 2009Hi Lee, Well, we ended up planning a studio that was much larger in scope than originally anticipated, so... In order to pay for it, we're out on the road, generating…
Lexinator, 4 June 2009Hey, once we get past digging the hole, we'll be able to use all the hands that we can get. You volunteering? :lol: Currently, we're connecting two warehouses together,…
Lexinator, 4 June 2009Hey Lee, I'll tell you what, after we get the hole filled that connects the warehouses, I'll go in and shoot a bunch of pictures, so you can see the "bowling alley" that…
