Another update - the floor framing is done! Finally!

So, the floor framing is now done so in theory this means the floors complete just requires the board to go on top. Next we start working on framing the outside walls of the live room, so everythings going smoothly. Now we have to start considering what exactly we want in the studio as it's getting nearer and nearer and the fact we're ahead of schedule makes it even better! Below are pictures of the current state of the project, it's gradually developing as we go, and this weeks update is the most substantial as the foundations are now laid, the beams are in place and the polythene is put into place, so all is good.

Update

So a hectic christmas and new years saw a delay put into the studio! We have now got a timeline put into place to get bits put into place. There will be plenty of pictures and updates now weekly as well as progress on the studio!

Our opening date will be 4th May 2009. So as for 5th May 2009 we are taking bookings, so if you are interested in working with us please contact us on info@inhouse-studios.net for a quote and a chat about a project you may in the pipeline. We cater for all budgets!

long overdue update!

So, this update has been very long over due, many reasons behind the delay but things are up and running again, unfortunately no pictures for this update.

Firstly, the foundation laying is 90% complete now, only need to lay a few more blocks and foundation beams and then we should be finished and onto building the skeleton frame of the actual building, still aiming for April 2009 opening time.

Secondly, Id like to announce that Martyn Bewick has joined the team, he brings with him a wealth of experience and ideas and according to Jean he's as mad as me with the way in which he does things.

That's it for this update, hopefully next week i'll have more pictures for people to take a look at.

Today's encounter!

So, anyway...

Back to the present, went down to the studio again today, and carried on laying breeze blocks minus the Bee's, which was brilliant. It's a slow process, but should have a helping hand over the weekend to get alot more done!

I personally can't wait to have the foundation laid down, because it means I can then start to form the structure of the live room! So it's starting to come together if I look back at the pictures starting in September.

The longest part is definately laying down this foundation but it's all worth it in the end... I hope!

So firstly last week

I forgot to update last week, I did go down to Jean's, took pictures but things have been so busy that I haven't had a chance to update this.

So anyway, the 72 breeze blocks arrived, most of the foundations were down in the shuttering and had set solid, so this allowed me to start placing the breeze blocks and seeing how I was to finish the rest of the levelling out. Realising i'll probably need to buy some foundation bricks as well, to go where only slight levelling is required!

Anyway, a bunch of bee's put stop to my work , as they were swarming all inside the room, and I decided id rather leave it till they had disappeared! So below is the pictures of last weeks crusade!

I ache alot!!

But it's worth it. Been at MMF working on getting the shuttering down for the foundations to be put in place. This involved alot of crawling around on my knees, hammering countless amounts of wood into each other..

72 breeze blocks will be arriving tommorow, so i'll be back tommorow with 12 more bags of concrete and a much welcomed helper, Mark Jansen working with me...

Progress is the key!!!

So another update on what's happening,

Went down to Metheringham today with the aim to clear the room next to the already inner built structure, this involved finding room for all the camping kit elsewhere, as well as sorting through th wood to see what needed to be kept and what was to be thrown out.

Now this is done, we can start on the construction finally. We've decided to raise it off the ground using a perimeter of brick then putting a wood frame floor into place, filling the gap in with thick building sand and a layer of acoustic board insulation under it then place a chipboard on top of that.

As before, below are some pictures of the progress :
