Container Recording Studio


I had a few days off work last week so got nothing done on the container. We are collecting some panels for the mixing room ceiling, so we should get on with that this week. Around the container we need to build a structure approx 300mm bigger all round this is then filled with sand to give a insulation layer to keep out heat and noise esp from rain or hail.
I have the outer skin steel sheets all delivered so that's great, big thanks to Jamie at phoenix steels, who, after telling him about the project, had the solar reflective sheets for the outer shell made and cut to size within a couple of weeks, and, for a fraction of what they should have cost.
So its just the frame work to support it needs designing and building.
We now have the ventilation design done thanks to Mike Hardy for all his hard work time and effort. We cannot order the Fan Silencers till we get £1200 needed to purchase them. We then need Approx £2200 for the fans.
I have to also make the plenum chambers for underneath the container this will lift the height of the container by about 400--500mm, we can then test everything out and get some readings on noise levels.
So there is still a fair bit to do yet.!
But we still have a number of things we can do that cost nothing while we wait and pray for funds to come in.
