hello all..
first my apologies for having not kept up with this thread as i had originally intended. life sometimes is full of crazy things that eat up your time, among other things. but the garage is getting
veryclose to done. with actual building anyway.
I swear pics are coming in the next couple days, but basically where im at is as follows:
all walls framed, insulated, and drywalled
all wiring done
floor framed and insulated and now has one layer of ply on it
the floor sits on u-boats btw.
basically whats left is the second layer of plywood for the floor, the iso booth window, hooking up the AC/heater mini split system (electrical already run for it), doors for the iso and the closet, the actual flooring (probably laminate fake wood stuff), the real lighting fixtures, and painting.
the first half of that list will be getting done this weekend. along with smoothing out/fixing any spackling.
it feels good to finally be getting somewhere. the last few months have been filled all sorts of un-fun things....my "foreman" broke his arm real bad and was out of commission for a while (ever seen an external facilitator?), my mom had cancer removed (looking good they say), 2 couples im friends with got divorced, and the majority of my friends helping me were on tour for the last month. not to mention that whole holiday period where everyone is always busy or... well you get the point.
so, things are back on track and now im wondering about acoustic treatment and such. i was going to build things but ive decided to buy most things instead. ive been looking at GIK products. real traps seem great but too much $ for me for the amount i'll probably need to buy
right now im considering putting carpet on the ceiling. in part because im worried about too many reflections but also so i dont have to look at the, lets say, less than perfect spackle job on the ceiling.
I'm figuring with hard floors it shouldnt be too much but would like to hear your thoughts on it.
i plan on getting some diffusors, probably the auralex spacearray or the rpg omnifusor but need to check prices. i saw the GIK diffusor but man is that thing ugly. inexpensive, but ugly.
again, sorry to have seemingly abandoned the thread.
