Day Seven - The floor is next



Here we are, only seven working days into the studio construction project, and we find the footers and foundation already prepared. Following a county inspection, the floor slab will be poured. That is currently scheduled for Thursday, but it could be delayed if some rain which is predicted for the next few days materializes. So far, everything has gone much more rapidly than I had expected. Perhaps the building will finished by the first of June as the superintendent predicted. Today we signed our approval on some mundane things like doors and door hardware, windows, and the mail drop that will be used for programmers to drop off their videotapes after hours.


On another note, we got our first high-definition camera today. One of our venerable, ten-year-old Canon XL-1 cameras recently decided that it didn't want to record to tape anymore. We replaced it with a JVC GY-HD200 Camcorder. We're planning to use three of its big brothers (Model 250) in our studio when it is completed.
