In the end, I decided to put the ERV above the toilet, on the same side as the radiant heating system, so I can hide everything at the same time. But the plan remains similar except that the supply of fresh air in the studio (the 3 output grilles) will be on the south wall instead of the north wall....

Yes, « the bolt and washer attached to the top plate also the bolt that runs through the pad and into the slats » but before inserting the bolt we inserted a piece of rubber hose up to the top of the slat, so the bolt and the washer do not touch the wood (the washer crushes the piece of hose that pr...

This is unfortunately true. In January 2013, just before I shut everything down, I had put two layers of slats in the gym area (ceiling and left wall) to make it easier to wire the electrical wiring. I stopped at about 11 feet, which was the distance I needed for the gym. Capture0a.JPG Capture0b.JPG...

Thanks Glenn. I think I understand what you mean, but I have to work with the current structure, and since I'm not an expert, I'm having trouble finding the best way to do it...so can you tell me what you would do specifically in my situation? Then I might be better able to determine what I can do w...

Since my last post, we finished the toilet roof (with leftover OSB from my 2012 roof... :) ). Very strong! Plafond toilette 1.JPG Plafond toilette 2.JPG We finished laying the drywall and the plastering was done between April 11th and 16th (4 visits). I am very satisfied with the result. Before plas...

If I understand correctly, once I have run the 6'' duct through the 2 walls into the studio (blue circle), I should increase its diameter to reduce the air speed?

I continue with HVAC design. Heating: Radiant floor (already installed) However, to compensate for a possible breakdown of the radiant floor for a few days, I will put a 30A socket in the middle of the south wall to be able to connect an additional heater. Ventilation: I trust my contractor because ...

In fact, the slats will serve to reinforce the wall and prevent the wool from one wall from falling onto the wool from the other wall. Since my last post, we've made progress on the gym. Some electrical work, audio wiring for the gym sound system, cat5 cable for the TV, the 5/8 4x10 drywall is almos...

Instead of the 2x4 stringers, we put a slat to strengthen the walls and prevent the fiberglass from sagging between the walls. I hope I didn't do something stupid!

Looks like I almost made a big mistake! Thanks Glenn!
Yesterday, I just reviewed Auralex's Acoustics 101 document (page 21) and was planning to follow their advice to use stringers.



So, 1+1=2

I'm going to put fiberglass wool in each wall (see the 2 pink lines). If I also put a 7.5 inch strip between the studs that face each other (see the blue line), will that make a significant improvement or is it not worth it?

We then built the walls but without permanently fixing anything in order to properly build the frames for the 2 sliding doors and make sure everything fit together. When the structure was finished, we permanently fixed everything. Unfortunately, I didn't think to offset the studs on the second wall,...

Hello! As a reminder, I built a 24x40 building and I am now ready to create a room for a gym (in the front) and a large room for the studio. The first step is to finish the gym so I can transfer things from the studio into the gym. Although my design thread is currently in progress and I will contin...

Wow! It's awesome! Bravo!

Thanks a lot Glenn. I think I've come up with a pretty good solution. You'll be able to confirm this (I hope) when I start my studio building thread soon. I apologize for revisiting my previous question about condensation in the wall. I am not questioning your expertise in any way, but since a mista...
