952 Studios Construction!
6311 Q: Assuming my insulation and electrical inspections are done, should I Green Glue the first layer of drywall to the 1/2" OSB sheathing that I am going to line the LR with? or just GG between layers of drywall? We discussed this on the forum some years ago here https://www.digistar.cl/For...

Starting a recording studio business
I remember your studio Howie, it is a proper place! I look forward to reading your post in the finished studios section. All sounds good to me. You probably already know this, but before doing anything serious, for the benefit of both parties, I'd suggest getting your business partnership agreement ...

Thanks chaps. The films are amazing, they totally exceeded my expectations. I hoped they might make a bit of a difference, but it really is a huge difference they make. The film I chose was SV10 ext from Johnson films. https://www.johnsonwindowfilms.com/residential-commercial-products/scenicview/ Ye...

6160 I'm really concerned about this photo: holes-cut-in-beam.jpgThose holes seem to be way too large, and in the wrong place, for structural integrity. You can cut holes in structural (load-bearing) beams and joists, yes, but they have to be done within certain limitations in order to not compromi...

Thanks Glenn. A minor but very useful update now. Recall that the main room has that large south facing glass area. As discussed before, it's great until summer when the windows let in far too much heat and the room gets hot. Essentially, add 10°C to the outside temperature and that's how hot it wil...

Thanks Stuart. I've learned that installing this type of HVAC ductwork is one of my least favourite jobs in studio building. Working on flimsy materials with sharp tools in dark confined spaces, where the cost of a mistake means several days additional labour to make it good. It's like asking Edward...

I'd established that swapping the fan direction so air is blown into the room rather than being sucked out was working well, so bought another inline duct filter box to install before the fan intake. I left the filter box on the other side of the system in place, removing it would be too hassle, muc...

Stand alone “room in a room” studio build ORANGE NSW Australia
Glad to be of help! Another thing I found useful was to actually use the door as it will be used during all this. It gives you a good idea of the best settings for the door closer, and repeated openings and closings will help it settle and give greater consistency of your measurements and gasket adj...

Wonderful stuff Glenn. With all the precise and heavy work required to build and install these doors you can understand why people who are cash rich but time, labour or skill poor sometimes opt for the very expensive commercial ones that come pre-assembled into the frame with all the seals built in.

5951 Ordered the 150mm ducting in the end. Had some issues with delivery from Just Fans but eventually got all the kit. I'm in the process of installing and will update here with pics of progress, soon. Let me guess: they were waiting for the G2 filter panels to arrive at their depot? :D Cheers, Je...

When I have time to beef up the other door I'll probably do something like this. It will help deal with any inconsistencies, slight door warping etc. - Hang the beefed up door. - my case only - first stop is already installed. - Wait for several days at least for the door to settle. - your case only...

Good stuff. If he complains, just play him the "No Charge" song
If you are in good shape, with good planing and tools ready in convenient places it would be possible to lift and install the 70kg door yourself. But best avoided if at all possible IMHO.
Cheers,
Jennifer

Nice. I like the John Brandt door seal method, it will be far easier and quicker to achieve an airtight seal with that than the approach I used. 5942 My door construction plan is to: • Get the live room door frame in square and plumb (done!) - then add the extra stop bulk and the bank vault stops in...

Adding Insulation Panels to Door Assemblies
Yes, and the single superdoor is also essential, when like in my place it is only possible to have a single door. The fire doors in the house all have a ceramic core in a wooden frame. The outside panels are (I think) MDF or a similar material. All that being said, there is something uniquely satisf...
