HELLO ALL

I debated opening this on the JLSArchive site or here, I feel like this is the better place. The Archive may go read only soon....

Well it took almost a year of planning but construction is finally underway of my new backyard studio! Link to the design thread here https://digistar.cl/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1092. A few important things before I start posting pictures and asking questions. First, thank you ALL for the great advice and encouragement. This is not an easy process, but as I stated in the design thread I have more patience and more means than I did in the past and I really want to do this right. I must have redesigned the building at least a dozen times. Even pulled the approved plans and changed it again at some point.

All that said, here are the sketchups for the final build. As you can see I have a lot of space to do soffits to enclose HVAC, more places for storage and I got all the things I wanted out of it. Small booth, Live room with vaulted ceilings, BIG control room and lots of natural light throughout. Im sure I will regret the placement of the window into the live room, but honestly I had to start making decisions based on needs. I saw some cool ways to deal with hiding the window during mixing, so I'm not too worried about it. Still planning a sofit mounted speaker setup etc, and I will be coming back with more questions as things start to ramp up on the build.

It is full room in a room construction for the live room. This was the most important area to get isolated. I want to record drums late, but the control room didn't need as much isolation. I still plan to do 2 layers of drywall between the studs on control room as well as 2 on the interior, so while its not room in a room its still a MAM assembly. We will see how it performs.

Also have tons of space above the control room for HVAC etc. I plan to put a soffit down the top of the 3 smaller rooms in the LR that will hide the HVAC, thats not totally pictured in the designs yet. Also like that I got a little storage space there for guitar cases, drums etc.

Anyway, I was super excited so wanted to share some progress pictures.... Cheers!

so a single pad? or you'll clear the gap after the top is set?

It is a single pad, I was going to have it as independent pads, but the added costs didn't make the effort worth it. I am not as concerned about internal transmission between live and control room as I am with sound out to the neighbors. When I did my basement studio, I was very happy with the isolation without separate pads so I think it should have similar performance here. That concrete is also 6" thick 5000 PSI, so it is very dense.

That gap is the footing for a load bearing interior wall.

Things are starting to get interesting! First order of lumber has arrived for the outer leaf. Since I am doing it in segments I didn't have room to store all the lumber while I build it up. Hoping to get walls up this weekend. We will see!

Yep PT and sill seal! Got the outer leaf layout down and squared up. Put some temporary tapcons in just to keep everything in place. Once I put the walls up I will put wedge anchors in and through both bottom plates.

Outer leaf is almost up. Getting a load of rain for the next week so probably frame the roof and get all the sheathing on in a week or so.

One more shot. The outer leaf is almost framed up. After this the real fun begins with framing out the inner leaf on the live room and starting to fill every nook and cranny with rockwool and or sheet rock.

We are brave souls!

Build question: The framing inspector required us to put collar ties at the peak of the roof. This slight lowers the ceiling height of the outer leaf at the ridge. To compensate I have to make my inner leaf ceiling peak about 10" lower. So the airgap between the inner leaf and the outer leaf (which was already wider than the walls will be) will be significant. Given this, I was wondering if I can now put my outer mass against the face of the rafters without creating a 3 leaf system?

Here is what I mean.
