Big update today with all the photos from these last few days which I didnt had the time to update the blog.

Finally the pladur guy showed up again and finished the ceiling of the live and control room. It still needs to fill in the joints.


The roof is finished and joints painted with a rubber ink to be sure no water comes in.




Toillet back wall is ready and looking good


In addition the water deposit for the toillet arrived and was installed yesterday


Plumbing for all the toillet and AC drain is complete.



Electrical Box wall is filled with concrete and finished.

Electrical box in place. 


Construction in the toillet goes on, no pics this time.

Everything now seems slower as the big changes are done, and passing cables and tubes takes time and doesnt have much to show.

Small update today, the electrician is busy passing all the tubing needed for the lighting and light switches for the control room and live room.
The construction workers made some finishing touches to one of the toillet walls:


They also covered some of the AC tubing in the live room that are within the walls

We've been busy with the tubing for the electrical distribution and AC.
Last night me and the AC guy stayed till late night passing the tubes and drains.


Ooops first hole was too low...


This is the end of our work on the control room for the day, after this the constructor workers will be opening a place in the wall for the wires to go within.


 This is an example of a drain for one of the ACs with the rubber tubing all around it when it crosses a wall to avoid sound leaking in or out.


The Live room is also done, but this one already has the holes in the wall for the tubes to go through.

Plumbing in the toillet is done including the water drain for the shower. It is now covered in concrete.


We had to place a very long tube for the drain of the Live room unit to reach the toillet where the water is drained


Power tubes for the lighting of the live room and control room is also done. Need to pass the electrical cable through them after.



Tubing for the light switches is passed for the control room and live room.

Markings for the Electrical box have been made and a ditch in the floor is being opened to pass the cabling. I have no ideia why didnt they do that before applying the floor...
