\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Im back dating this post back to May (It’s now July) when we were in Izmir, Turkey installing Re-Rite. It was a busy week with Rich, Bob, Graham, Mark, Bea, Hillelabad, Ash and myself.<\/p>\n

The trtip started well\u00a0meeting\u00a0Rich and Bea at Heathrow for the start of our journey to Izmir, flights had been delayed as bad weather in Izmir and we got stuck in istanbul airport for a few hours. Luckly for us we got a free drink and a really rubbish sandwich with non discript meat inside it which made everything allright!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We eventually got to out hotel in Izmir at silly o’clock in the morning, met everyone at breakfast and then headed to the\u00a0museum\u00a0building where we had a meeting about the fourth coming weeks work. During the meting the adopted museum cat made a visit and took quite a shine to bob!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the meeting the work began and we got all of our flight cases unloaded in to the venue which was an old disused tobacco factory we done a recce on earlier this year<\/a>. Some of our kit was still stuck in Izmir due to some customs issues with our kit leaving china, whilst Rich got on with sorting this, we unpacked what we had and marc setup his office.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Due to the storms and the gae of the building we had quite large pools of water lying\u00a0around\u00a0the venue where it had leaked through the roof onto the third floor above us and then continued to leak through the floor onto where we were, creating various large puddles! The floor below us was not used , so, Graham had a grat idea of drilling drain holes to clear most of the water!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We worked on diverting water upstairs to try and avoid any future storms flooding our floor again and repositioned some projector positions to\u00a0make\u00a0sure the electrics\u00a0didn’t\u00a0get wet! As many other jobs like this progressed, along with allot of work, there was allot of friendly piss taking, Graham outdone himself when he used his Ipad to make an islaney! Ha!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The week\u00a0continued\u00a0very much like this with lots of graft and lots of silly banter, Bob & Graham did well with putting up many fixing points for our screens and projectors and some places there were ready made holes. The old disused fan ducts in the\u00a0commentator\u00a0rooms were ace!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

During the week, even though Rich was working in another room, the eye of Slaney never blinks!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The final room was the conductor room with a 4 projector setup and an interactive screen where you can conduct\u00a0alongside\u00a0Esa Pekka, Bob & Grame did well getting all these fixings up, I mounted and cabled and Bea done the final focus which looked ace! when we had all od the content on, good fit!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It may have been\u00a0around\u00a0this part of the week when we had a massive storm and it rained like hell with some amazing thunder and lighting all night!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Luckily\u00a0with the pre planning non of the lit got wet and there\u00a0wasn’t\u00a0too much water on our floor! The rest was pretty plain sailing getting the\u00a0install\u00a0finished ready for\u00a0opening\u00a0night. Keeping witht e fun and games of the week Rich and Bob had a hand wrestle, you can probably guess that Rich won outright leaving Bob shattered and in tears.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The following day were were on our way home, after a few celebratory beers from a\u00a0successful\u00a0opening\u00a0night. The plane journey was pretty\u00a0uneventful\u00a0so Nick and\u00a0myself entertained ourselves with the inflight pillows. I dont think the cabin staff appreciated this as much as we did!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Contrary to all of the silly photos allot of work went on this week, another\u00a0successful\u00a0re-rite\u00a0installation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
