Eggman, 24 January 2004Newbie (to this forum) here. First off....GREAT website. One of the most useful and informative I have ever found. I've learned more about studio design/constructionin…
Eggman, 24 January 2004John, Thanks for your quick answers. I will try to clarify my question. Yes, I want to add a second ceiling. The diagram you drew is correct, except I am going to add a…
Eggman, 25 January 2004Hi John, Once again, thanks for your time. Please have patience with me. I still don't think I have stated my question clearly enough. I think the two room info was…
John Sayers, 25 January 2004Doug - I wish you could draw your layout - but here goes. YOu are going to build an inner wall (room within room) OK? YOu are also going to have a new ceiling just under…
Eggman, 25 January 2004Okay..we MIGHT have made a breakthrough in this... First....I am attaching my ceiling to the bottom of the floor joists using the two leaf system described many times in…
Eggman, 10 February 2004MR KNIGHTFLY...Steve? Maybe you could help me with this. I have spent every available minute reading, reading and rereading all the posts on this forum. I think I have a…
knightfly, 10 February 2004Doug, it's not as critical in this case as you might think - if your wallboard and your ceiling wallboard are both resiliently hung, then flanking isn't a problem if you…
Eggman, 10 February 2004Thank you Steve. That is the info I needed. A couple of quick questions that you can answer at your leisure. I will hanf my ceiling layers on RC but was planning on…

Eggman, 18 February 2004Steve, I just completed rereading every single post on the construction forum. I have access to the internet in the control rrom at work. We are doing multiple runs of a…
knightfly, 20 February 2004(1) Yes, definitely. You do NOT want the floors to flank noise between rooms. (2) The sound lock should be NON-parallel walled if possible, the doors should NOT be…
Eggman, 25 February 2004Steve, Thanks for the latest input. I have been hunting/gathering materials and have completed the tear-out of the sixties era basement treatment. I hope to begin…
knightfly, 25 February 2004I'm not able to tell from the pix what Bruce used to wrap his ducts - maybe he'll check in soon and you can ask him - or you could PM him, and that might speed things…
Eggman, 3 March 2004Hi again...I don't know if it is proper to just keep appending my origional post with new questions or if I should start an entirely new post for each subject. I am…
