Make The Space – Monday 14th March

@members Anyone up for finshing more of the wall tonight

Ok. But I need to be shown how to do it.
Or I can just “assist”

What can be done?

Mastic holes where the screws came out? Masking tape and foam filler (if that the plan for the top?

We need to fit insulation in the wall, but don’t have it yet?

I’ll be down Tuesday night.

Probably on my ‘reclaim phase 1’ quest…

Ply cladding for the south side of Dusty?

It can all be cut to size. Cables need to go in, plus a decision about socket spacing.

But not to much , enough to stabilise but I don’t want to cuppel to much energy from the top of the arch into the wall .

So a few dabs, the rest stuffed with ‘wool’?

It’s a shame the table saw is out of action, that would have been useful for ripping down the ply for the sides.

Key aims need to be finishing the wiring and getting the second lighting truss in.

Can’t make tonight tho I’m afraid.

That is the plan

I can be there from 3pm till 11:30pm today.
I might need some instruction though.
FaceTime instructions could work !?!?!?

Someone needs to move the electrics for the light switch behind the door now I have measured the door size and put marks on the wall the the approximate location.

To be clear as mentioned to Pete last night, we should use all the Plywood for doing the walls in the dusty workshop, including the wall of wires, and members can have a think about a better wall finishing than ply for the messy workshop…

I suggested we try and get old doors or floor boards or something that looks cool to make it a bit more quirky, rather than buying even more cheap ply.

At the same time however we need to clad the clean workshop side of the wall with birch ply and get the cable in for the mag locks and RFID reader, and hang the doors!

@joeatkin2 did the alam cables get fitted in the end?

Let’s think put off thinking about the finish to the messy side of the wall for a couple weeks, seems like we can give this time to have good thoughts about it.

Door linings need making for the workshop and fire exit doors. Presumably this needs the procurement of appropriate timber?

Edit: there’s some confusion about the structure of dusty side cladding (below the experimental acoustic baffle which I’m not even going to try and understand)

Plasterboard then ply? Or just ply? 1 or 2 sheets or plasterboard?

Also Pete was on the side of not putting up all that plaster board but if we do then there are two more layers on the other side to be put up.

The design is for two layers on each side. Then battens (yet to be delivered) then ply. This allows the final layer of ply to overlap the blockwork on the short arm of the L.

If we don’t put it up, then there will be a big pile of unused plasterboard!

Where did the idea is not putting up the plasterboard come from?

Pete… I think it should all go one side so we can take them down, but some how we’ve gone from one sheet on each side + ply to 2 sheets on each side + ply so we’ve a huge amount of cost in plasterboard we didn’t need.

Double boarding ply is standard practice, plus good acoustically.

Yes ‘plasterboard’ not ‘ply’

Damn autocorrect!
