A World Class Concert Hall
Here's a project we finished up in Madison (Wisconsin of
course) last year. It turned out "kinda" nice. A Shot From The Stage: http://www.merlin-net.com/THUMBS2/TDIR0732/X00047_9.JPG A Shot From The Back: http://www.merlin-net.com/THUMBS2/TDIR0763/X00109_9.JPG Not Lit Up But A Cool Shot: http://www.merlin-net.com/THUMBS2/TDIR0729/X00123_9.JPG We Warned Them About Barber Poling But Would They Listen?: http://www.merlin-net.com/THUMBS2/TDIR0687/X00095_9.JPG The entire hall was built in our shop in Milwaukee and shipped to the site is pretty huge sub-assemblies (all shop finished). For the side boxes we mocked up the existing field conditions in the shop using cantilevered steel racking. These were radius in plan, elevation and section. When they were set in place nearly everything fit like it was built on site. The funny thing was, we had a hellava problem with plain old straight paneling. I won't go into why that was other than to say it wasn't by our doing. UA100 |

I assume this is UW Madison-would also assume the paneling was a PITA
simply because the walls you had to put them on were not straight. I have crews that install cabinets in large projects and it always amazes me how major construction companies can build walls using metal joists and get them completely out of whack. Same goes with concrete flooring - the humps and ridges are amazing. Ah well that is why they hire us pros. Very nice I hope the sound quality is good - getting that right can be a bear - took em several tries at the Avery Fischer Hall in NYC IIRC. |

What we had to work from was raw concrete out croppings and back walls. We supplied plaster templates to the GC. There was a wee bit of transit work involved. God bless Al Gore for inventing the CNC router.

Very nice I hope the sound quality is good - getting that right can be a bear - took em several tries at the Avery Fischer Hall in NYC IIRC. We got it right the first time around. The rework we did do was from improper (forgot to read the drarings) installation. UA100 |

My Dad was an independant one-man shop, and when I was a teenager, I helped
with many cabinet installations. In one case, (this was Oregon) a logger had started a house, and then been injured. His wife and her mother finished the house, and we installed cabinets. Over an 8' length, the kitchen must have been off by 4-5 inches. Didn't look that bad, but Dad made his cabinets to hang true. So, some custom molding to cover the voids. I know it bothered him, but what was there to do? The finish guys have to deal with what they have to deal with. Steve "butch" wrote in message ups.com...
