more fun with corners
i got a ton of stuff done the past couple of days, although it's hard to capture the progress with photos -- among other things, i permanently attached a couple of frames which previously were just temporarily clamped in place, i ripped apart the frame with the vox booth window and rebuilt it to lower the window a bit and better center it on the wall (originally it was pretty centered, but then i decided to make the storage room double as a second ISO booth and that resulted in adding a second wall between the two rooms and throwing things off a bit.), i cleaned up a bunch of corners, and i put up the walls between the vox booth and storage room.
storage room walls are all framed in now. here's a shot of the corner nearest the storage room exit. this might give you some idea of how tedious it was trying to work around the support beam and have all the weird angles and stuff. it's still not completely done -- you can still see a pie-piece-shaped opening going the length of the corner between the 2x6 on the one wall and the 2x4 on the other -- i need to rip a 2x4 and wedge it in there:
i'm putting the finishing touches on the vox-booth-side wall between the booth and storage room. we ripped another 2x4 at 17 degrees, slapped some liquid nails on, and attached to the exterior wall. here it is braced in place as it dries:
here's a shot from the studio looking in to the vox booth where the doorway will be. now you may be asking yourself, "didn't he already put up a doorway there a couple of weeks ago?" well, yes, i did, but i then found i mismeasured and didn't take into account the fact that the interior and exterior doorway frames need to be different lengths in order to accommodate the weird angles at the corners. so i ripped it out and am in the process of rebuilding it, starting from the interior doorway:
here's a view from inside the vox booth looking towards the console area and storage room. this angle does a wonderful job of capturing the jumbled mess of studs in close proximity where the inner vox booth walls, inner storage room walls, and studio-side wall all come together:
