Family effort

During the next couple of weeks we started to have our first few problems.

The first of which being space. The speakers now consisted of three quite large and heavy boxes all of which once worked on had to be stacked in a corner of Ricks mums kitchen. Not exactly the most ideal place to have quite large and loud pieces of equipment.

A new place for storage and workshop had to be found. Which became my dads garage. Here we could work on the speakers any time we liked, it was out in the countryside so no possibility of upsetting our neighbours and there was loads of space to spread out and work.

This is where we hit our second and possible third problem.

We had to transport the speakers to the new location. As we had been busy wandering off to get smaller pieces of a bigger thing we had forgotten exactly how big the system had got. Not exactly easy to fit in the back of car. So between me, my dad and Ricks mum Anne we each put a speaker in our cars with the seats down.

But here lies the next issue.

The speakers so far hadn't had any design concept incorporating handling or more importantly handles! So once settled in their new home which was easier said than done we routed and sanded handles into the sides of each one making it easier to move.

This took four hours to move each speaker and various building tools.

Now for the colour!
