Priming The Vault

So, I sanded and mudded the past few days, of course. Tonight I sanded a little more, and then because i was beginning to have a hard time distinguishing what was going to show up when it was painted and what wasn't, I decided to throw a coat of primer on the wall. Now, I can see the little blemishes, and I can go back and mud some more, and sand, and then reapply the primer where needed. You can see some of those pictures HERE. The newest pictures will be towards the end of it the album.


It has been a LONG process. I am excited that there is a possibility that it could get done in the relative near future. I think I should set a date for myself to have it finished, and then just shoot for it. I have several intense work days this week lined up to work on it. Hopefully that will mean that I get the molding on the attic stairs done, the molding on the door from the control room to the tracking room, and that I will get the carpet retacked to the floor next to the new wall.


There's always something to do. Maybe I'll even wire some stuff together, who knows? :)


Until next time friends -

Constructing "The Vault"

Well, It has been some time since I have written.

Since I returned from Europe with The Ranchhands, I have been super busy! For starters, I worked pretty hard during the month of August playing percussion at this night club in Nashville. I've mentioned it before on here. The club is called FUSE. It's a vegas style/ LA style night club. Super fun times. I spent almost every evening in August jamming out with a DJ. At the beginning of September, I started really cranking on my home studio. I affectionally call it, The Vault.


I have been working on trying to get my space all fleshed out for recording for some time now, doing a little here and a little there. We finally went all guns in, and ripped out parts of the house, put others in, moved things around, etc. It has been a real treat to see it come together, granted, there is a long way to go still, but it is getting there. If you want to, you can see pictures of The Vault here. just remember, It is a work in progress. I will keep adding to this photo album as time goes on, and as noticeable progress is made. It is a chore and a half, but it should be a killer space when it is all said and done!


So check out the pictures, drop me a line, and I'll keep you posted on the progress as we move along now. Hopefully, We're aiming for a mid-October finish. We'll see if we can keep it on track -


until next time friends-
