For those who were interested in the first installment of my home office (see
post 647), here is the next bit.
The big thing, called a cloud because it hangs below the ceiling for acoustic purposes, was completed ...
... and hung in place with two grid things, called space couplers, underneath. My woodworking skills have had to improve to a level beyond what I thought I was capable of.
Along the way we finished the kitchenette ...
... and the toilet.
Two acoustic steel doors, weighing 160kg each, were installed. We got these from Spain at half the price I had been quoted in the UK and without the post-Brexit delivery headaches.
Compression closers mean each door shuts so tight that it is air-tight, sound-tight and well on the way to being water-tight.
Then the lino floor was laid in the corridor ...
... and right through the kitchen and toilet areas.
From there I have been left to my own devices to lay the studio sub-floor ...
... and the ash wood floor.
I still have all the acoustics to prepare and install on all 4 walls but in the meantime I have set up the drums and can start working from home. The timing was perfect as I finished setting up the drums on Tuesday and then on Wednesday at midnight Slovakia started another Covid lockdown.
I am enjoying a break from construction activities until the new year.
