"The Vault" nearing completion.

So as of today, the tracking room at The Vault is completed. The walls are painted, the trim is done. The doors are painted, the shelves are painted, the riser for the drums is built (and intentionally left UN-painted). The kit has been set up, and the drums are tucked away in their respective storage spaces, be it the wall, above the closet, or tucked under the floor of the control room in a nifty little storage closet like space.

It has been a long road to get that half done. You can see the pics of ti all here. these are just the completed pics, and some images of the control room paint job progress. You can follow The Vault's progress at this album.

I am looking forward to finish the control room so that I can share the finished product with you all. I'll even try to make sure I get some good action photos once it's all up and running -

Until next time dear friends!

The Vault gets a fresh coat of paint

So the end of this week has been spent doing a second coat of priming the walls, touching up a few places, painting the ceiling, and framing in the attic stairs that were moved. I also had a little bit of "bonus' demo work that was needed, but it took almost no time at all.

Suffice it to say, tonight I finished painting the Tracking room. well, almost. I still have the trim work to do, and the door needs another coat of paint, but other than those two little things, the bulk of the painting is done. The walls have been painted, at least twice, and where it mets the ceiling, where it meets the trim, all of that has been handled with care (thanks to my wonderful wife!) and so the Tracking room is a nice, warm chocolate brown. It makes the room feel cozy, rather quaint. It feels like you were just wrapped up in a nice warm blanket.

Saturday will be trim day. taping it off, and painting it. and then, the Tracking room will be painted. Next week, we'll install the lights, build the drum riser out, and such. oh yeah, and work on the Control room-

until next time!
feel free to check out the progress photos HERE. It takes you from the beginning up to where I am now. So the pretty brown pictures will be at the end :)
