I just learned that these are some of the very first Avantone MixCubes ever produced. Probably one of the first 100 pairs to exist in the wild.
The proof? A 3-pin power supply which was never commercially available and no longer seems to exist … not even at the AvantonePro offices down the road in Tallman, NY.
I’m sure they’d be very useful if only we could only plug them in…
With the addition of some basic lighting and acoustic treatment from RealTraps, I’m now able to move into the new studio!
It will take some time to work out the ergonomics, lighting, storage, and cable runs (more detailed posts on the way), but for now, I have an absolutely beautiful sounding place to work!
Yeah, the empty house has a certain charm, but at some point you gotta sit down. Which is why we ordered a bunch of furniture.
And just like that, we have a place to sit! Several places, actually.
Until this week, Mr. Fletcher has had some trouble navigating the slippery wooden staircase.
No more! And why not add a little zigzag spice to the upper level while we’re at it?
Now that we’re finally getting rid of those pesky moving boxes, we’re able to test out the garage. Given the new lift kit, we had real concerns about where Ruby Jean would stay.
No Ruby Jean means no Greg, so it’s a good thing SHE FITS! (Even if just barely..)
Now that the construction and remodel work is complete, it’s time to unpack! But first, let’s take a look at the empty house.
And while we’ve been working on the inside, here are some of the things that have been popping up outside in the yard.
This morning the last of the construction and painting equipment left our basement. (Woo!) To celebrate, we cleaned up our bikes and rode the Cheshire Rail Trail 3 miles into town where the Walldogs Mural Festival was underway.
In short, the Walldogs is a group of mural artists who travel the country creating public art murals related to local history.
One of the murals was dedicated to Miss Catherine Fiske’s Female Seminary which you can hear more about here. Most importantly, we got to enjoy a decadent food truck lunch.
