last of the bitch-ass drywall pieces
i've been really dragging my ass on the remaining critical drywall work, so i dragged myself out to monroeville today to rent a drywall lift. again. i put up the last pain-in-the-ass piece of drywall up in the vox booth today. the room and the bulkhead are both funky shapes, which makes for a really funky shape for the bulkhead ceiling--no right angles or parallel surfaces at all. these things are such a nightmare to measure, cut, and get into position. but i don't care anymore because it's up, and after putting up two more small pieces the vox booth is completely drywalled now. woohoo!
i'm going to turn my attention next to finishing up the drywall in the other booth. thankfully, the shapes in there aren't nearly as bizarre, so it should go at least relatively quickly. man, i am so sick of drywall. doing normal rooms isn't so bad, but for studio stuff it's soooooo damn tedious with the layers and the caulking and the weird angles and shit. the worst part is, even when i finish the other booth, i still won't be done with the drywall--i'll have to come back at some point and do parts of the garage, lounge, and bathroom. but i'm going to defer those as long as i possibly can because i'm tired of being covered in white powder 24/7.
i spent friday and yesterday working on door tweaks and putting foam and caulk in the gaps between the jambs and the drywall.
this week i hope to buy all the laminate flooring as well as order all the boxes and connectors and stuff for the audio wiring. i'm also going to try and start on the window assemblies and do more door work in between drywalling. did i mention i'm sick of drywall?
