VOCOMOTION New Studio Construction Diary

Stuff the Walls!!

The contractors are stuffing the walls and putting up the first layer of drywall. You might notice that the insulation they’re installing doesn’t look like Ultratouch (the recycled denim insulation)…it’s not. The exterior walls have to have ThermaFiber (rockwool), because of the thickness (or really thinness) of the wall construction. The Ultratouch doesn’t come in thin enough batts to use with the walls with just RC on it. Our delivery of Ultratouch will arrive Monday and they’ll use that in the newly constructed walls (back of the Control Room, IsoBooth/Closet, Exterior Wall.

After the first layer is drywall is up, they’ll put on the Mass Loaded Vinyl over it, then do the next layer of drywall. One little problem…the Mass Load Vinyl and ICW Spring Hangers (for ceiling) have been LOST IN TRANSIT. Apparently, UPS can’t find them. A new shipment was ordered and will be here next week (it better!!).
