A friend helped me lift the first three modules into place between the rafters in the ceiling. Fortunately they fitted! 2025-03-30 12.34.41.jpg 2025-03-30 12.34.22.jpg 2025-03-30 12.05.48.jpg Sloped ceiling at the front of the room. There was already a noggin nailed into the rafters for the existing...

That would indeed be interesting to see Glenn. I'm sure something like that happened when I added the 60cm deep recesses at the rear of the room.

Cheers,

Thanks Glenn. I've built and sealed the OSB parts of all four modules. 2025-03-25 17.04.00.jpg This module has an extra triangle profile cutout to accommodate the "diagonal beam that probably should not be removed" discussed earlier. 2025-03-25 16.43.55.jpg Now it is time to pray to the go...

I've built the OSB layer of one module with all surfaces attached. 2025-03-20 13.01.46.jpg Took it upstairs for another test fit. The riser it is sitting on is 6 feet long, should give an idea of the size of the module. 2025-03-20 13.10.41.jpg 2025-03-20 13.07.57.jpg I spent the rest of the day cutt...

Do you have any photos of the construction of the jams?

New mains lighting cable arrangement. The cables run along the top of a nailer that goes above the inside out modules, dropping down at the correct points for the lighting rails. 2025-03-19 15.19.42.jpg 2025-03-19 15.18.58.jpg A partially built OSB part of the inside out module. The sloped ends and ...

I phoned the electrician this morning, he said he'd arrive just after lunch so I had a busy morning ripping out the rest of the superfluous wood and building a new light cable nailer that runs above the inside out modules. I only just got it finished before he arrived! It's dark so can't get a decen...

Nice work on these silencer boxes. If possible, their sound attenuation is improved by having the inlet and outlet holes on different planes.

Cheers!

Thanks Glenn, much appreciated. My neighbour checked out the old wood today and said the same thing, and I removed most of it today. I like your plan to snake some new lighting wiring, the existing wiring is almost long enough to permit 300mm high modules, but not quite.

Cheers!

I've removed all of the ceiling drywall and much of the insulation above it, and the layout is much clearer. The purlin beams are marked orange on the house plans. They appear to be used where velux window sets are encapsulated between doubled or tripled rafters. House Plans Floor 2.png Here's one o...

Thanks Glenn. I've been removing more ceiling drywall today, slowly and carefully with the aim of preserving decent joining points between the new and old layers. Looks like I'll be able to get a smooth continuation of the sloped ceiling into the modules at the front of the room. Nice. There's a bit...

I've checked the space with the camera, and to the extent I can see it looks consistent with the plans. I'll remove more drywall, fingers crossed.

Cheers!

Thanks Glenn, I'm definitely leaning toward option two. In for a penny, in for a pound. The camera is a good idea, I used a drumstick to poke around that insulation to determine the location and size of the purlin, if I can get the camera above the insulation it should hopefully give a clearer pictu...

I removed a rectangular panel of of the ceiling plasterboard to see what lurks above. Nice to see the insulation was done well :D 2025-03-12 12.32.34.jpg The purlin beam towards the rear of the room is in the place indicated by the plans. Assuming the beam toward the front is symmetrically placed th...

7150 the question is do I have to do both doors in the communicating door system or just one, and if its just one which one would be most effective? My gut tells me to beef up the door to the live room and not the control room. I'm considering tearing the whole thing out and rebuilding it from the ...
