i'm kind of in a holding pattern right now while i wait for the HVAC and electrical peeps. HVAC peeps are coming on tuesday to look things over and give me an estimate. i'll probably have to wait a couple of weeks until we get back from toronto before getting the electricians in. i'm going to get a hauling service to come out this coming week and remove a bunch of shiznit from the basement so i can have some room to move around.

in the meantime, i'm trying to get my ducks in a row for various other studio odds and ends. i've been scoping out laminate flooring and have narrowed my choices down to about 4 or 5 laminate wood flooring models. i'm shooting for woods that are neither too light (maple) or too dark (cherry), and have a decent grain and pseudo-plank width.

i've also been spending lots of time on ebay looking for posters from cheesy bands to line the walls of the lounge. thusfar i have purchased posters for:

menudo
krokus
toni basil
donnie & marie osmond
taco
milli vanilli
stryper

i have bids in for posters from:

gary numan
tiffany

still looking for suitably cheesy posters from:

right said fred
gerardo
nelson
falco
meatloaf
hall and oats
captain and tennille

if anyone has any other cheesy bands to recommend, let me know.

i'm still shooting for getting drywall, insulation, and doors delivered this coming week. i'll have to order resilient channel separately, which may take a little while depending on which kind i end up getting. while there isn't a ton of drywall work i can do right now, i can do the exterior walls of the vox booth and storage room as well as some of the walls in the lounge while i wait on HVAC/electrical. i'm thinking of working on these chunks of drywall wednesday, thursday, and/or friday of this coming week. if any of yunz are interested in helping out, let me know. drywall's pretty fast-moving and very rewarding to put up -- it's the point where rooms really start to look like rooms.
