Where to start? Maybe with the fact that we have stored a large stack of wooden strips, several packages (four full pallets in total) of rock wool, pre-sawn OSB boards and three almost endlessly heavy rolls of linoleum in the studio. And then there was a big delivery of parquet wood.
After about two weeks of intensive work and commuting between the construction site here and our already existing studio rooms in Prenzlauer Berg, we installed the battens in every room.
The next step was to fill it with rock wool. Fortunately, after the last delivery, we filled our entire foyer with it. In a labyrinth of packages reaching up to the ceiling you are always looking for a circular saw, a cordless screwdriver with a suitable bit or just a missing colleague. The best way to process the rock wool is with a cake knife. In addition to the insulation, we also use it in the absorbers.
We have built these in two variants, which differ in thickness - depending on whether we want to compensate for depths or heights. Parallel to the recording windows we have specially made diffusors attached.
What we have already done is the wiring for our ceiling lights as well as power and audio cables for the speakers. Here you should already think about cable ducts in advance, if you have to add (or even change) one or the other cable afterwards. With us a large part will run on the ground. The access is made possible by the still to be attached baseboards. But enough now because otherwise we won't be able to work anymore. We will still turn a few screws, but report to you in the next blog post more about our construction.
