Bathroom wall progression (scramble continued)

Around the 25th of June, the inside space of the lower floor was wide open concrete. Following the plans we'd devised for the bathrooms, I laid ceramic tile in a 12x12 foot area so that the bathroom walls could be built on top of the tile (it's much easier than piecing in the tile around the walls later).


The following picture was taken on July 1st, the day after the bathroom walls were built:


Electric and plumbing were installed before this next picture was taken on July 3rd:






This next picture is taken from a higher angle (on the stairs), but it shows the bathroom wall with drywall. It was taken on July 4th:


The drywall was mudded on July 5th, painted (primed white) on the 6th. Bathroom doors, toilets, and sinks were installed on the 7th. Switches, outlets, lights, and ceiling fans went in on the 8th.


On the 9th, the stage was built and temporary lights and sounds installed:

This is Skip from Mirage Sound Company (THANK YOU, Skip!). By the time this picture was taken, it's already the 10th, but it's about 1:00am. Skip not only installed a temp system, but painted the beam he's hanging the lights on (How's that for service?)!

This is a pretty good crash course in what it took to make it happen, but there's a ton of little things that need done along the way. We had quite a few friends who stopped in at odd hours and helped out. If it wasn't for all their help, this never could have happened. For all your help, we are truly grateful. I hope you all come to relax and enjoy the music often. Thank you!

Springtime - post-flu catch-up post

Just because I've been slacking on the blog doesn't mean work at The 123 is slacking. The drywall is hung and the mudding has started. Also, some of the plumbing that needed rerouted for both the first and second floors has been finished.

Now that the flu has finally loosed its grip, I will update pictures and post some color samples soon.
And even though the temperatures remain wintry, little yellow coltsfoot flowers are popping out of the hillside, so there is hope for spring - soon.
