jimmyjams, 13 July 2011Thanks for your response Glenn. I plan to frame in a new wall in front of the garage door. And then frame in the new room within the confines of that new wall and the…
jimmyjams, 17 August 2011Is it possible to accomplish an ideal room mode as far as new inside wall dims with a vaulted ceiling? If not, what is the best way to figure my ending inside wall dims?…
jimmyjams, 22 August 2011Here's some updated photos. I've completed just about all of my beef up and insulation. All that's left is the small portion over the garage door. I ended up using…
jimmyjams, 23 August 2011Thanks! I ran a new line in for electricity and piped outlets primarily on the stringers over head so that I won't have to worry about making any holes in the walls…
jimmyjams, 27 August 2011I found a used mini split yesterday on Craigslist for $150. It's only a year old and was used sparingly. The unit runs around $800 new. So I saved a good chunk of dough…

jimmyjams, 7 September 2011I also built two silencer boxes for a send and return for my ISO booth. I was thinking of installing some quiet 5" computer fans in them. Aiming in on the send and out…
jimmyjams, 21 September 2011I just finished my first layer of drywall on my walls. I decided today to do quiet glue on my final second layer. I'm going to do 2 tubes per sheet so it will run me…

Soundman2020, 5 October 2011That wont work! :shock: I think you are confusing "standing waves" with "flutter echo". Splaying your walls will indeed help with flutter echo, if the splay is more than…
jimmyjams, 5 October 2011You're absolutely right. I was definitely confusing the two. As far as flutter echo is concerned, it did the trick. There is none whatsoever. But in the empty untreated…
jimmyjams, 5 October 2011The only things I have left to do: Finish caulking and tape and mud on joints. Prime, paint, concrete stain and clear coat. Acoustic treatment. Move in. Install second…
jimmyjams, 26 October 2011Studio is basically finished at this point. I've already moved in and started working. I still have some minor cosmetic things like trim moulding and paint touch ups to…
