Daily Planet, 15 March 2006Hi Steve, The corridor between the two studios functions mainly to give access to the restroom in the back of the facility from the front lobby. The corridor will also…
Daily Planet, 15 March 2006Tell me about it brother! The mixer guy (opening the bags, dumping them in and QC the Mix) nostrils were SO NASTY at the end of the job. (I gave him a $20.00 cash tip…
knightfly, 15 March 2006Studio A will likely need a bit more treatment (heavier corner absorbers, few more clouds, etc) to sound as smooth as Studio B - A has a few coincident modes, namely…
Daily Planet, 16 March 2006Well the Foreman was pissed when he saw the concrete repair...its not exactly level, and it should be. Good news is that he has a plan to remedy the situation..we press…
Daily Planet, 17 March 2006When we are framing tomorrow, I'll get some pixs mate. Essentially the only double-framed wall is between Studio A/ Control A AND between Studio B / Control B. These are…
Daily Planet, 18 March 2006Heres a close up of the double wall I was mentioning earlier. This wall seperates studio B from Control B. My intention was to sheetrock both sides of both walls for the…
knightfly, 18 March 2006You have read the REFERENCE section, right? Especially the part about mass-air-mass between any two areas you want to isolate from each other? The whole purpose of…
Dan Fitzpatrick, 19 March 2006listen to Knightfly. putting drywall on the insides of the frames will make isolation worse, not better. so don't waste your time doing that! put all the drywall on the…
Dan Fitzpatrick, 19 March 2006i checked out your design thread, i guess this will be 5/8 drywall x2 in the ceiling grid. i guess you are committed to this path, but i have my doubts. for one thing,…
Daily Planet, 20 March 2006Hey Dan, Thanks for your helpful attendance and comments. Never too harsh mate. For now this overhead ceiling will be ½” gypsum, one layer thick in the whole facility.…
Daily Planet, 20 March 2006Sandersd, I must be throwing out some curveballs of communication. Did I imply I was cutting gypsum up to make a patchwork ceiling 2 x 4 pattern somewhere? On my…

Daily Planet, 20 March 2006Hey guys, I should have said.... We are screwing sheetrock to the bottom of the ceiling grid with drywall screws ... The grid is not to support drop in panels. No such…

Daily Planet, 4 April 2006Steel Framing is new for me to this project. Essentially my wall is 2"x4"x10' track-which is the eqivalent of a "header and a footer" in Lumber....and 2"x4"x12' Studs.…
Daily Planet, 14 April 2006Hi everybody, INSPECTIONS: #1 Electrical Temp (exterior meter base and panel tie in with ground) Rocked that like a hurricane. Good to go. #2 Passed framing inspection…
sharward, 15 April 2006Hey DP, Sorry I've been kind of "not here" since greeting you in the Design forum several weeks ago. It seems you've made a lot of progress in a short amount of time and…
Daily Planet, 19 April 2006Thanks for dropping by Keith. I think its fair to call yourself an alarmist - but I don't think that is a bad thing in a community. Thank you for your attention and your…

sharward, 2 May 2006I'm proposing (or, rather, Monday-morning-quarterbacking) that the halls would not have had drywall on the hall side -- just exposed studs. In other words, all the walls…
Daily Planet, 10 May 2006The folks from Dominion Power show up to install temp power... ( They are 5 weeks late) Turns out we need to get a meter placement order as well...there a big…
sharward, 12 May 2006Yeah, and think that his thread started on that forum one year after he started! First time I saw his excavation photos, I knew I was witnessing the extreme end of the…
Daily Planet, 19 May 2006I went shopping this morning at 800 am to purchase the patio doors (5- 72"x 80 Patio Doors) for the studios. I left by 1030am with no doors, after we had trouble loading…
Daily Planet, 23 May 2006Hey Guys, The electricians were in there Saturday getting sconses and switches in there. They are a little over half done or so. Today we had the Sliding Doors delivered…

Daily Planet, 25 May 2006Today was another good day....my wife came out to help, so that was fun. Finished up one of the sliding doors that seperate Studio B and Control B. It's a double sliding…
Daily Planet, 25 May 2006Good day today-me and the wife all day again. (sharward drools) Got 1" neoprene underlayment glued down to the floor in ISO B. It's starting to tighten up sonically, but…
Daily Planet, 27 May 2006Sorry Sharward; Mindy helped again today...3 days...I think indentured servitude is in my future. Got some more work done in the bath today...nearly done short of…
Daily Planet, 27 May 2006There were a few areas in the lobby where the distance to the ceiling is more than 12' high...the ceiling is level at 12" but the old warehouse floor varies in some…

knightfly, 2 June 2006Keith, that's more normal carpets; wool isn't as flammable IIRC, plus a 2" thick carpet should do some serious damage to a wider range of freq's than foam will - Mark,…
Daily Planet, 6 June 2006Glad to have you back Keith...seems like you have been busy mate! The best always are... I don't know about being too sure about knowing what I am doing...the older I…
Daily Planet, 28 June 2006I told everyone I was going to have to get some clients in before the studio was done. That’s what I’ve been doing for the last three weeks. I setup the Control B room…
Daily Planet, 28 June 2006Tracking in a studio under construction - well, it was a bit nerve-wracking to start with-unsure-ity, until I developed a trust relationship with the rooms. I was…
Daily Planet, 8 July 2006I dont recommend starting sessions before your studio is done- however it can be fun once you relax a bit. Again a very temporary setup in Control Room B. Image not…
Daily Planet, 10 July 2006Stan, If I could rewind and start this again, I might do a few things differently, but what was important for me was having an "operational" facility by mid summer. Now…
len-morgan, 10 July 2006Stan, To answer your question about what part I liked the least: Whatever I'm doing right now! First it was the demolition and cleaning out of the building I bought.…

Daily Planet, 22 April 2007Hi guys, I have been awfully busy freelancing, regretably finishing the studio project slower than I hoped. Its almost a cliche. Heres a coupla pixs from a session the…
