thanks fyi IRC in the evenings is done at the kitchen: good wlan connection and big Andalousian table (the Andalousian detail is added to spice up your imagination). Evening calls are made from the sauna (engine turned off) not to awake children. In Finland I've discovered how good saunas with wooden walls and ceiling are to handle sound. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has used a sauna to record music (specially soloists, since saunas tend to be rather small).
