Ok, a studio pic or two up shortly.

Our little bike trip across the isthmus,
was very nice,
but after reading this sign,

I turned the following corner,
and the engine just died.
Only a fuse getting wonky... 20 minutes lost,
yet it WAS a rather prophetic sign LOL.

Last day of the trip. Only lost 20 minutes.

1st day of the trip, in some un-pronouncable national park.
3 Shadows, mines the red and black '94, 400,
(soon to be a 600cc)
the black is a '01 400cc.
the silver is a '06 750cc, and super sweet,
I put 100km in it myself.

I own mine, but the other two were rented for the trip,
but they bought both since then.

We did 1300 km and went to Ao Nong, Krabi, Phuket and Kuraburi,
over a Saturday morning to Wednesday night.

From Below south east
The roof is out to the end.
This will be a BIG wondow.

I am thinking to build the interior
so it is like 2 Thai style houses,
left and right with a tall window between.
And windows above them.
Bottom story big enough for piano and drums,
but a tall and narrow floorless top floor,
for a long sound throw up and back.

It will make the booths and the interior very 'regional native' looking.
I suspect the moving walls will just plain be to big and heavy,
with the present ceiling height.

View from control room window to end of studio.
I may likely cement over this glass dorr to the left,
and put in another from the office.
I was not quite getting all my design crteria from the desgin team,
and had to move or lose the crew. Ah well.
The still have to cement and block between wall tops and roof.
