Glenn Valid questions ...as to my wife's wages, she knows that every piece of assistance brings forward the date when her car can again access the garage space which is full of building materials AND my ever increasing volume of recording/musical gear exits the house proper :lol: (Although I am also...

Raising the inner silencer boxes I’d been dreading this for a while – I knew the hanging of the internal silencers would be fun! I’d looked at a few material handling lifts I could hire for the job locally but complications with access, availability, free floor space and with the supply unit having...

6549 Hi guys, thanks for the feedback. That's a bit of a concern about the Yellow Tongue! My builder and Engineer said it was OK as long it was behind a moisture barrier, and well.. I've gone ahead and used it. Now I'm worried! Is there any extra precaution I should take at this point? IMG_9733.jpe...

Bridging was a concern. I've never been able to reconcile the maxim that no part of the outer and inner walls should touch in the slightest with having a single frame/jamb for doors and windows. It would have been sooooo much easier to do a single jamb but for me, I'd want to see two things first: 1...

What Ive found locally here in Sydney is this Earthwool stuff - 11kg/m3 at a cost of about $6 AUD per m2. https://www.bunnings.com.au/earthwool-11kg-m-75mm-x-450mm-x-2700mm-17-01m-insulation-acoustic-batt-pack-of-14_p0810981?store=7316&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIusuAsLmhggMVlTCDAx1BlQikEAQYAiABEgKvB_D_B...

.... door jamb/frame I followed the same path on this jamb as the LR one - its a double arrangement per Stuart's "site built door for high isolation" but I was way quicker this time having learned the ropes on the first It's the John Brandt design - rubber seal between the 2 jambs and rubb...

nice workpersonship! glad the idea to frame around worked to gain that space. Thanks! Yeah - got better at the design and execution as I did them - again through experience nearly at the end of the catch up posts - walls this time - the door jamb I will do separately Layer 1 frychek LR.jpg Insulati...

...and more this time, mostly framing - some selected shots commencing framing CR side walls.jpg then a bit of fun getting the CR middle wall with window frame in - largely because I wanted to keep the floor open to walk through as long as possible CR window wall 1.jpg CR window wall 2.jpg CR window...

More shots of late 2023 work Penetrations for AC, Elec, ethernet AC sealing - using "Big Stretch". I cut some access holes from the outside so I could get in and under the pipes plus the installer left the front covers off the units off for a week or 2 so I could get at the holes from the ...

As promised - some shots of my last 6 months work mentioned in my detailed post #16..nothing earth shattering here but maybe some insights for others (or not!) First up... silencers.. . • The inner ones are "dual flow" • 16mm mdf - 2 layers • Any joins were given a good layer of glue (laye...

Too often the simple and obvious solution gets overlooked
Thanks Glenn

I’ll now consolidate all my posts to the construction forum. While I’m still “micro” designing, I think it’s better to be all in one place for now. This will be a long one – I first drafted this for a September post :( but • keep getting distracted by doing the work :) ; and • felt that there was no...

yeah...I've learned a lot about the various properties of timber and timber panels on this journey!

Hi Graeme Sorry for being late to the party :oops: After Stuarts suggestion of using a layer of OSB to improve sheer strength and add a nailing surface, the builder suggested using Yellow Tongue flooring. This product which works out at 13kg/sqm at a cost of $1.4/kg of mass, which is almost exactly ...

Thanks Glenn
Makes me wonder whether I should convert the area under the silencer into a plenum and get the velocity down a bit more
