Gregwor, 6 August 2018So my friend Darren needs a room where he can practice and film some tutorial type videos without having the cops come knock on his door. Of course, I offered to help…
Gregwor, 8 August 2018Okay, so I finished designing the silencer boxes minus the sleeves and some connections. That way Darren will know where to put his outer leaf wall separating his drum…
Gregwor, 14 August 2018Darren has been working hard beefing up his existing ceiling -- subfloor for the main floor above him. Here's a pic: Image not preserved: Darren Ceiling Beef Up 1.jpg He…
Gregwor, 15 August 2018So I devoted today to finishing up the mechanical side of things for Darren. I drew up the rough idea for the duct work. The dark duct is flex duct of some sort. I…
Gregwor, 7 September 2018I headed over to Darren's place the other night to give him a hand with his project. He has got a ton done. Beefing up and sealing up the outer leaf is a big job for one…
Gregwor, 29 September 2018Mark, Those are his cleats, yes. They're rather large, but that's what he found the cheapest to use. I believe they were 2x3 dimenionsal lumber. They are screwed into…
Gregwor, 30 September 2018He will move one cleat at a time. But, in theory, the sealant up there will be dried enough to hold the wood up there. That, plus the Green Glue compound will have a…
Gregwor, 6 October 2018I've never seen or used this product before. The only thing close to a consistency or shore rating on the website is listed as: Sag or Slump 0.10 inches The only way to…
Gregwor, 6 December 2018I swung by Darren's place today for a quick visit and was very impressed with his progress. Other than the small wall where we have to deal with the silencer boxes, he…
Gregwor, 2 February 2019Darren will be getting his door slab, 4731 door seals, some 4 ½” x 4” Hager BB1168 hinges, and duct liner soon. We picked up MDF for his silencer boxes and he has built…
Gregwor, 8 February 2019This morning Darren and I built his inner leaf door frame (he is going to see if his current outer leaf door can be modified to work as it is solid core). He got 2x6…
Gregwor, 15 February 2019A few nights ago Darren and I got the majority of his door built. First, we cut the bottom off the door: Image not preserved: Bottom Cut Off Door.jpeg Then we cut up…
Gregwor, 19 February 2019We dry fit the door. As strong as the Douglas Fir frame is, it still clearly needs to be reinforced with the rest of the wall frame to stand nice and straight! If I pull…
Gregwor, 21 February 2019After many hours of work yesterday evening, Darren and I cut all of his silencer box MDF. We measured all the pieces in SketchUp and entered the data into…
Gregwor, 28 February 2019Here are some pics of assembling the silencer boxes. To adhere the OC QuietR Rotary Duct Liner, we used Magna Tack Image not preserved: Magna Tack.jpeg Image not…
Gregwor, 28 February 2019Last night Darren and I took all of his silencer boxes and his door to his place. We hung his door but didn't make fine adjustments to the hinges yet as we need to take…
Gregwor, 28 February 2019Those are beasts for sure! The tiny one Darren is spraying is one of 3 that make up his inner leaf return silencers. His room is tiny so it made sense to fit these into…

Gregwor, 22 March 2019Darren has made some great progress. I have only seen it in more detail via FaceTime, but it appears that he is addressing any issues I point out to him (caulking,…
Gregwor, 1 November 2019Sorry about not updating this thread. I have been swamped and just haven't made the time for it. Darren kind of just went for it and he would send me pictures of things…
Gregwor, 22 January 2020Sure! The reason there are 6 boxes instead of 4 is because we were limited for space. We needed the air to flow across the entire room and the supply is coming from the…
Gregwor, 28 January 2020Correct. Well, it doesn't HAVE to, but in our case, yes, it did. Ignore some details in the pictures as these were early drawings. But, you can see here that there is…
Gregwor, 30 January 2020For sure! That would be fine! I'm not sure that you're aware of the size of these suckers. Check out my simplified design template: Image not preserved: Gregwor's…
Gregwor, 31 January 2020Correct. It is not available at big box stores. I believe I called the manufacturer and got a list of places that carry it. It was either that or else I just called…
Gregwor, 17 February 2020Well, Darren did 99.999999% of this build himself. But, yes, he did anchor the inner framing directly to the concrete. John encourages people to "float" the walls on…
