Thanks Greg, greatly appreciate the support! It's been a slog already and I have tons left to do, but I'm gonna keep just plugging away. Hope you can make some good progress on your build too!
Thanks as always! Realistically at this point I am focusing on getting the other rooms done and that's gonna take probably til the baby gets here, but hopefully I can start chipping away at the studio room, and in the meantime I still need to finalize the studio layout, so I'll post again before too too long with updates.
Awesome, thanks! That's what I figured but it's very helpful to have confirmation.Yes, it makes sense to put your outer leaf in front of your furnace.
All of the ductwork in the basement is insulated. I'm gonna keep as much of it as possible outside the outer leaf, but on a couple places I think that's just not gonna be possible, so I'm hoping by boxing it it/beefing it up, putting Rockwool in there, and the fact that it's already insulated will not hurt my isolation too much.Depending on where it is, you really should have it insulated. Outside of your outer leaf it doesn't matter as much but in that location, it can help with actual furnace/HVAC noise. Inside of your outer leaf, everything should be insulated.
