Now this is where we are today. All the insulation is in place, much of the tar paper (the black stuff) is in place - much better stuff than just wrapping the place up in plastic.
..Notice the horizontal structure in the angled roof. This is for the upcoming drywall roof. We were also just talking about making sure this structure ventilates properly if it ever happens moisture builds up between the polyurethane and the drywall. The carpenter came up with a small, simple modification in the front that should take care of that.
..Two drywall sheets in place for demonstration. They have a 9mm gap between them - this (as well as *all* such joints will be filled with elastic Tremseal mass. This makes sure the specified sound isolation/air tightness properties will also stay the same in the future.
..There won't be any drywall in where that sheet and the wool package are. The triangular bass trap will be built there. Loads of wool = warm. And the bass stays in control! The height of the bass trap will be the same as the height of the two shelves, 180cm.
..This where the used air will go out through a pipe. We'll be trying good old gravity-based ventilation for starters. If it won't be enough, it's easy to add something to the system to help it out. With proper muffling, of course.
..That thing is going to look awesome once finished. I'm thinking of having glass shelves there, possibly smoked glass. And they won't be holding one single lava lamp.
We're a little bit behind the schedule, because some of the construction with the angled roof became a little tricky. but from here, the pace will only go up. Putting the drywall in place is pretty quick, and after that the construction for the inner frames such as the front wall and the machine closet begins.
I just ordered the floor material, along with other stuff. I came up with a cork floor - Wicanders Vinyl Comfort. Vinyl-covered cork floor, very nice printed wood-like texture with the softness of a cork floor.

Just about every laminate I held in my hands felt like crap, and a wooden floor is a bit tricky with floor heating.
