Your photos show the opposite, that you are paying attention and doing it very well. I know it is hard work but bravo to you for being so diligent. Well done!

Thank you so much for the kind words of support! I am at the finish line, Id say 98%. Needed to order some more fabric for the front wall of the control room, hiding all the staples has been tricky. I ripped some 1/4" strips and painted them black, then brad nailed them over the staples. Not really sure how other get such a tight tucked in look, but this works for me. As a first timer, Im not unhappy with how it turned out. If you see the little imperfections here and there I say you are looking to close and not focusing on the music enough!

Today was a big day. We installed the 5/8 and 3/8” laminated glass between the control and live rooms. I’m getting about 45dbc of isolation between the rooms without proper seals on the doors yet. You can actually pinpoint that the door bottoms which have no seal are the place that sound is coming through. It’s incredible. Definitely hit my main goals and then some.

Getting even more isolation outside the building!

It is extremely gratifying to see this all come together and work as designed.

Thank you!!! It’s been a long road, can’t wait to get in there and start tuning.

excellent!

yeah, as things get quieter and quieter suddenly you find other places which transfer the sound or make noises - framing, shared concrete pads, ducts, electrical wiring strung tightly between isolated walls, conduits, hvac noises, etc. but on the plus side, once you're below 50-55db, your breathing, speaking, and monitoring / playing etc will mask those things.

Just wanted to take a moment to share some great news! The permits and inspections have all been closed and approved. The building is now officially done as far as the township is concerned. While I still have a lot of work to do with treatment and wiring up, this is a major milestone for me to have crossed after nearly 2 years of building. I stopped tracking cost at around $75k Its way over budget, but I am very happy with the outcome. Once all the treatment is in, the door seals have been installed, and things are wired up, Ill shoot a sizzle reel for you all.

Thank you again for all the support, knowledge sharing, and encouragement you have all generously and selflessly bestowed upon me. What a project!
