WHUFC BASS Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 If anyone is interested, I've decided to build a recording studio in my back garden. I'm getting fed up with travelling over 150miles in a round trip to the wilds of Essex every time we want to record so am taking the plunge in building my own. So far over the past few weekends there's been some good progress: 11 Quote
WHUFC BASS Posted March 28, 2021 Author Posted March 28, 2021 Marked out the area for the build which will include a path up to the door 1 Quote
WHUFC BASS Posted March 28, 2021 Author Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) The hardcore went down and was compacted. I've also decided to concrete most of the garden. No more cutting grass for me. Hurrah!! Edited March 28, 2021 by WHUFC BASS 2 Quote
WHUFC BASS Posted March 28, 2021 Author Posted March 28, 2021 Concrete went down. What a mission! Had to get a concrete pump and route it round a neighbours garden. Took all day to do. As it was drying overnight, the local fox decided to leave a permanent reminder of his visit. 2 6 Quote
WHUFC BASS Posted March 28, 2021 Author Posted March 28, 2021 Decided to opt for a cavity wall, better insulation for heat and sound. This is the first lift in progress. Standard rokwool installed in the 100mm cavities 2 Quote
WHUFC BASS Posted March 28, 2021 Author Posted March 28, 2021 Second lift completed to final height. 2 Quote

WHUFC BASS Posted March 28, 2021 Author Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Roof finally installed. It's a mixture of wood, felt and fibreglass. Edited March 28, 2021 by WHUFC BASS 6 Quote

Little Dragon Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Would have to now call it 'The Foxtrot Studio'? 2 2 Quote
Doctor J Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Fantastic work, can't wait to see how you fit it out inside. 1 Quote
WHUFC BASS Posted March 28, 2021 Author Posted March 28, 2021 Cheers fellas. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time but just haven't had the funds or had been unwilling to invest so heavily into something like this. Then I had an epiphany and thought, well life is too short, let's go for it. 3 minutes ago, Little Dragon said: Would have to now call it 'The Foxtrot Studio'? You wouldn't be the first to suggest I call it that and I'm giving it some serious consideration. 😇 4 Quote
Happy Jack Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 This looks like a very serious build ... great work. Quote

Discount for BCers when it's up and running? Ha! I wish! This was started in February and the weather has stopped work on occasion. As for a discount, well I'll have to brush up on my engineering skills first before I start charging anything. 4 minutes ago, Paul S said: Proper job! Watching with interest. What size is it?

How did this work re fibre glass? Just pick a fine day and do it over the top of normal roofing felt or something more complicated? 1 Quote
