John, Josh, Ron, Spot, Brian, Jim...........Part of the crew at Native Restoration. Our crew has changed substantially since this photo was taken, however out of respect for both Joshua and Ron, (who have passed on) we leave it for all to see.	Our 400 sq foot, floated tracking room, built of sand-filled cinderblock, masticked together, with 2 layers of air separated drywall, 1 layer Celotex, and finally, 3/4 cedar offset by tracks 1/4" thick for isolation. This room floats on rubber mounts, and is separated from the two control rooms by approximately 1" in all directions.
