The Bridge 2009 Refurbishment

The Bridge Refurb (July 8 - )

After refurbishing The Engine Room in June, we broke for a few weeks before moving through to re-invent the live room, which was also renamed The Bridge. Here is the blog which tracked progress on the works... on Day 3...

Wednesday 8th July
Day 3 of Bridge refurb: Someone has clearly been wielding a sledge hammer early in the week. There's a nice pile of rubble on the floor...



Thursday 9th July
Day 4 of Bridge refurb: Amidst the chaos are signs of some wall structures...



Tuesday 14th July
Day 9 of Bridge refurb: Well there's more wall that's for sure. See how the separate compartments within the live room are starting to evolve...



Wednesday 15th July
Day 10 of Bridge refurb: Considerable progess - the guys have ploughed on with the building of the three separate recording areas...



Friday 17th July
Day 12 of Bridge refurb: Plaster board is now present - a touch of paint and of course a bit of wiring and we'll be well on our way....



Monday 20th July
Day 15 of Bridge refurb: Where we're at after the weekend. There's more of that lovely rockwool stockpiled, and more plaster put in the walls...



Wednesday 22nd July
Day 17 of Bridge refurb: The guys have cleared the main live room of debris and worktops, so we can get a shot of the main liveroom with the booths at the back. Whilst on the subject of booths, they now have doors hanging!!



Monday 27th July
So much to do but we're making strides. The floor is being laid in the main live room, and painting continues across the walls...





Tuesday 28th July
The walls were so white today it felt as if we were floating in a cloud! Of course this is the undercoat, we eagerly await what the men with brushes have in store for us tomorrow...





Wednesday 29th July
The lads were painting away happily again this afternoon. This morning they attached the frame for the panels to the ceiling of the main live room, and there's plenty more carpentry going on besides that. We'll wait to see the results tomorrow...



Thursday 30th July
Believe it or not there's a photoshoot in here tomorrow. But things will be done and dusted. The carpets have been laid in the booths and the lights are hanging and in use. Carve carve carve...
