How's your back??? Haha! Fine, for now. I only put up one slab. I've gotta take it down and attach the second slab to it this weekend... ask me again next week! I'll see what the deal is regarding wood filler over here, not something I've seen on the shelves (surely must be available somewhere..) W...

Hi all, Good news - progress! The door is up! Still a way to go, but we are moving closer! The beastly frame is bolted into the concrete with lag screws either side; the space above the header is filled with two big pieces of wood; hinges all mortised (by hand w/ chisel) and installed (this took som...

Hi everyone! So some exciting news, I bought my first pieces of wood for the frame! I opted for a hard wood that they call 'Sandy Rojo' over here, they said it was the strongest wood they have, which I figured would probably serve me best in supporting the heavy door, and similarly the density would...

Thanks for the responses guys. Stuart - yes it is reasonably pliable, it'll be a challenge to get it all sitting like that along the lengths of the stops, but with this little sample in place, it's not budging (in a good way), so I think with patience I should be able to get it seated well.

Hi everyone, Again no intent on bumping up, but I have some more photos to share. I went back to the rubber seal supplier, and got a small sample to bring back with me.

Whilst I await responses, I am reading more, searching for places to find what I need, and also implementing the suggestions into the design to see how it all fits together... I have completed a fully-fl...

Sorry for double-post, I cant see the option to edit. I'm just updating the post above with some new sketches of how I envisage the vocal room to be extended. As you can see, it isn't the full width of the current room. The reasons for this are: 1) The shortest wall of the vocal room (the one which ...

Hola Stuart! Wow what a great and detailed reply. Thank you for taking the time, this is exactly the kind of thing I need to help me be sure I'm making the right choices/decisions. I know there are a few people on this forum that also post on others such as Gearslutz (such as Avare/Andre), and I hav...

Hi everyone, My first post here, I will do my best to adhere to all the forum rules, excuse me if I dont! UK-born composer, living in Ecuador now for 2 years. We have just bought our first house, and it has a great space off the side of the house that the previous owners created. This is the space I...
