Concrete Shell

As I reported in my last blog post, Amadou the mason and his army of bricklayers have been hard at work, resulting in this excellent concrete shell.

Lots of people have been passing by and admiring our concrete shell and saying 'Oooh what's that going to be?'

'It's going to be a recording studio,' we tell them. 'We're going to make lots of radio programmes about light and life and love and other things beginning with l.'

What we don't tell them is that we're out of cash and can't build any more.

Here's what remains for us to do:

1) Put a roof on
Reason: to protect studio equipment from the rain
Cost: £1200

2) Put in doors and windows
Reason: to enhance security
Cost: £650

3) Put in electrical installations
Reason: to enable correct functioning of CD decks and mixers
Cost: £250

4) Paint
Reason: pour le plaisir des yeux
Cost: £200

5) Sound-proof the studio
Reason: shhh...
Cost: £300

If you would like to contribute towards any of the above, then please write to me sahelsteve [at] ntlworld [dot] com

Thank you.
