But there's Neoprene or something on them, right? Something home-grown to make them resilient, right?

That chop saw is a life saver...

OK, someone stuffed in a note before I could finish posting... :roll: Here we go...

And finishing up the bracket...

Or you can cut off the long tails and make it short like this...

Brilliant! 8) Sorry I stepped on your string o' posts. Is it fair to say that the fit is "snug" without being "too tight" so that you get some compression of your rubber/foam/whatever that is?

You can set the bracket to whatever your top plate is. The rubber is 1/4" that we use for satellite non penetrating roof mounts where I work. It does fit snug/tight around the track, w/ no problems.

OK, I've had questions as to what the heck I use for cutting insulation... Here it is...a Fillet Knife...

Here's my latest adventure...Starting drywall in the mechanical room...

Started installing some of the low voltage conduits last night...

A couple more pix...

I finished up the insulation in the mechanical room last night. Also finished the first layer of drywall on the inside, taped, mudded, and caulked. I forgot my camera here at work last night, so I'll have to take pictures tonight. :D

Awesome -- can't wait to see 'em! :mrgreen:

I plan to finish up the second layer tonight. Possibly even install the 3rd layer (which will be plywood) (for surface mounting stuff). Then I can run the electrical conduit and surface mount the electrical boxes. And then run a feed through the bottom opening to another electrical box that will be on the bench section. After that, I can then insulate and cover the outside w/ drywall and plywood. Now for the explanation of why I'm doing plywood too. One, I'm looking to install T&G boards as the finish, so I'll have something for them to tack to. Second, I don't know if you ever saw the picture I posted awhile back (which I've since removed), but I need the plywood to securely fasten some display frames. Which is also why I asked a question in an earlier post about building display cases. But I think I can figure that out.

I think Paul woodlock used a layer of MDF prior to his last layer of drywall for that purpose.

OK, Here's the pix of the insulation and 1st layer drywall going up in the mechanical room...

...

And beginnings of the second layer. That's all I did last night, I was pretty exhausted yesterday / run down. Was fighting a minor cold earlier in the week, and it finally wiped me out last night. But I feel much better today after a good nights rest.

...

Looks great, Aaron! :mrgreen: I hope you're feeling better today.

Thanks, Yeah, I've had this thing lingering since Sunday night. Mostly just have the dry cough now, but my batteries finally gave out on me yesterday. Took an Ambien, got some rest, and feel much better. I'm planning to attack the tracking rooms over the next five days w/ brutal force. I'll take lots of pix of the progress. When I return next Thursday, I hope to have most, if not all the tracking rooms framed out. I'm going to need more studs though. I went and picked up more 20 guage track and studs yesterday (10 of each). About shit bricks on the price. After tax and a box of screws too, it was $116 and some change. They forgot to throw in a tube of lube. :shock: :shock: :shock: :evil: :evil: Between the hurricanes and the Chinese, these building costs are terrible!!! So anyway, I'll post again late next week.

Ok, I've been busy. Here's the pix to show the progress from the last 5 days...

The first conduit run...

RC on the top half of the outer wall

Electrical to under the bench and into the mech. room. And insulation in the bench framing...
