British Gas should be here tomorrow

that's as opposed to American GAS or You're-a-peein' GAS?
 
how are those differently, really, Colin? 

No, no...  British gas is when you want something like a Cornford amp.  American gas is when you want a Gibson guitar.

Update:
 
We've just discovered that there's water damage to the ceiling.
In the loft there is a leaking pipe, so this is going to slow me down even further.

Might be a good job you discovered it before you filled the room up with your musical goodies Col.
 

That's exactly what I thought Steve.
 
I can imagine the carnage.........

Yep.

Dear God.
 
There's absolutely no fun in that cleanup.

So, British Gas aka Dynorod eventually turn up (today !), the engineer fixes the leak, disappears on his way - and we're left with no hot water.
 
I am rapidly exhasuting my sense of humour molecules

Update:
 
We now have:

• New floor
• All painting done
• All walls freshly papered

 
I started moving my gear back in on Monday/Tuesday, hooked up the basics last night, and everything fired up and worked first time <yes!!!!!>
 
But I now have to start treating the room. At the moment it's incredibly splashy but at least I'm working "downwards" from a known acoustic - I just need to know when to stop
 
I will have to totally re-learn how the room sounds as well - I've turned my whole seating plan around by 180 degrees, facing a different wall, and it's a completely different sound.
 
This is only temporary until I build my new studio desk - everything is currently sat on a large picnic table

Progress:
 
I threw a couple of rugs down last night and the difference in the reverb time of the room is incredible! This is before any serious trapping, so I should be able to dry it up quite nicely.
 
I already have 3 bass traps from the old studio ready to go, and I've found a cheap supplier of 4 inch (100mm) foam tiles, in both wedge & pyramid profile for spot treatment of certain areas.
