Serious Framing Progress!

The progress continued over the weekend. The fellas came in with some serious framing in mind!

Besides the frames for our Machine Room, all framed walls went up today! It felt good being able to walk into each room and imagine what's to come. Although the framed walls are only one step of this lengthy detailed process, it sure does feel like progress is being executed! That's what counts!

Dave Hampton has been monitoring progress and development via phone and this blog. He's currently in New York at AES.

The boys called it a day after some serious progress. Time to go home to the family, throw down some carne asada and a couple cold ones. Back to business as usual on Monday!

Studio "A" Takes Shape!

Today, the crew came in and began preparing the floor for specialty material that will be laid down, prior to erecting Studio "A" walls.

Once the glue was spread and material was laid out, the walls were raised and anchored to the concrete.
