woohoo! all studio drywall is up!

just a few minutes ago i finished putting up the final piece of drywall inside the studio. this means i can finally start thinking about life beyond drywall. i've been putting this shit up on and off for nearly 4 months now, and i was beginning to think i'd never actually get to this point. as i was putting sheets up tonight, i began to do some calibrations and found that each sheet of drywall was taking me on average 1 hour to do. this includes measuring, cutting, loading onto the lift, rasping down edges that might be too long, poking holes for electrical and other stuff, chalking lines, screwing, and doing the foam-and-caulk stuff at each corner. there are somewhere on the order of 120 pieces of drywall in that room, so i've spent somewhere around that many hours just hanging drywall. and then on top of that there's the final layer of foam and caulk and mudding and taping and all that fun stuff. man, drywalling is a bitch.

anyway, i'm going to do some cleaning up tomorrow, after which i'll take some photos of the vox booth and iso booth.
