Hello all – I’m starting a new thread even though I’m continuing the same project. Hopefully it will make things simpler for anyone who wants to chime in without reading the whole previous thread. First off, many thanks to Glenn and Stuart for their great advice! Here’s a summary of the project to d...

Hi all, it's been a while! The room is coming along nicely, the interieur is almost finished, so I can teach and play normal level music inside. The next step will be finishing up the outter wall. I'll post photos soon. I've run into a little question with my mini split heat pump. For the interieur ...

63cm was a mistake. 60cm was the intention so that 120cm drywall sheets would fit. Big mistake! So now, the drywall is hung horizontally. If I screw the next layer, it will also have to be hung horizontally so that the edges of the drywall sheets land on a stud. This is why I was exploring the idea ...

And from a building point of view, there seem to be different types of products. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have a new question. I've just finished my first layer of drywall, getting ready to seal the joints and start the second layer. Here's the pertinant info: 2 layers of BA 13 acoustic drywall attached to wood studs (walls and ceiling). First layer was screwed to studs. The studs are about 63cm apart...

Hi Glenn - Thanks! I always appreciate your clear responses!

Backer rod and caulk sounds like a good solution. But what is the logic on leaving 2mm under my baseboard?

Hi Again, I've got a 2 random questions: 1. My electricity/internet is coming into the room through 2 plastic conduits - one for high voltage (230v - 2 outlet circuits, one light circuit) the other for an internet cable. As I was closing up the inner leaf, I attached the two conduits with zip ties, ...

The room is coming along - see photo. The wood inner structure is done, wood fiber insulation is in place, the rest is on it's way... I haven't yet decided what to do with the floor. And I'd like to decide before putting up the drywall, in case I decide to do a screed, which might warp the drywall. ...

Glen, I'm ready to follow your advice, and just run the drain line outside on to the ground. However I've been trying to figure out how much water is going to come out, and it appears that between 5-20 gallons a day come out - this sounds enormous. My mini split is 2500w. If its 5 gallons per day, I...

Thanks Glenn! Because of the climate I live in, and the construction materials used and my planned use of the room, I'm imagining that my mini split will be used 70% of the time as a heater and maybe 30% as an air conditioner. I'm I correct in assuming that only the air conditioning mode will create...

Hi all, I'm installing a mini split in my room-in-a-room construction. My interior and exterior units are about 15m apart, with the refrigerant tubes running through an attic and garage. My question is what to do with the condensation drain line. I don't believe I can run it along with the refrigera...

Or perhaps cork would be a similar/better option. This link is in French, but maybe helpful

The bare concrete floor is an excellent surface, acoustically. If you want to make it look nicer, you could stain or polish the concrete, or use laminate floori...

One related question:
My room is roughly 5m by 6m. As for the inlet and outlet, how far apart do these need to be? Do they need to be at opposite ends of the room? I'm aiming for 75cfm.

Hello, The details of my project are here: h ttps://www.digistar.cl/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1142 I'm building a sound isolated practice room, and I'm afraid I may have painted myself into a corner... The outer leaf of my 2-leaf system is complete, and I'll be working next on the decoupled inne...
