studio_drums, 26 July 2007Okay, here's the official start of my studio build thread. I'm converting a 11 x 20 garage into a music studio. Here's the before pics. They're self-explanatory. You can…
studio_drums, 26 July 2007Concrete guys are here today. Pad is already broken up and being removed. It had been reinforced with wire and had no cracks, but apparently there wasn't much of a rock…
studio_drums, 30 July 2007Here is a basic sketchup file of the room framed out, dimensions are accurate. Getting into the studio is a problem right now. It appears I won't be able to build up…
studio_drums, 5 September 2007I attached 2 more layers of 5/8" drywall to outer walls with green glue in between. It took 6 cases. Ouch! (I still have to do the inner room!) I have now begun framing…

studio_drums, 27 November 2007I finished the first layer of drywall and I have great news: I played my boombox as loud as it would go and I couldn't hear anything outside- also, I grabbed a 'real'…

studio_drums, 4 December 2008Yes, my build did end up as originally planned. It's a true 'room within a room' on it's own isolated concrete slab. Remember, I started with an attached garage. I…
