So I thought I'd put up a bit of an update about the studio. Well I haven't done much with it since December 2019, and it's now February 2020. I had put up the initial wooden frame inside, but then ran out of steam as I couldn't work out how to put the insulation in and keep it there.
Luckily for me, and old friend is handy with building houses and other stuff, did a couple of days work for me and finished the frame, repaired the window and put in the air conditioning for me. Now, this didn't solve my insulation problem but we discussed where it was going.
Initially, I was going for a padded-cell kind of look. The walls were going to look like cushions, where the insulation bulged out, covered in wadding and material, and some studs. But after he'd spoken with more knowledgeable people in studio design, we decided to put up some thin plywood wall to hold the whole thing together, and then cover them in the wadding and material I original had wanted to cover the walls in.
So this weekend, I pulled my finger out and get the plywood ordered, arranged for the electrician to come and do their piece, and got in there stringing up the insulation in the walls. I got about two thirds of it done on the Saturday and am about to go out and finish it today.
So wish me luck - hopefully won't be long until I'm in there actually making music!
