Administrator Marc Posted May 7, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted May 7, 2015 More supplies have arrived! Strangely, Green Glue can be a little hard to source in AU. Foam Sealant Pty Ltd is the Australian distributor in case anyone is looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yamaha_man Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Well it's just THICK and very soft upon the heel as you would know. I've had many a person crash here and literally sleep on the floor with just a pillow and a blanket. Beats the pants off floor boards and a rug.

I went with this carpet in "Winter Wonder" colour in the man cave Marc. Dark, very deep and plush. Very happy with it. http://www.victoriacarpets.com.au/product-detail.asp?ID=56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadsled Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Awesome. Keep the pics coming. I'm planning to build a music room ("room within a room") under the house and will be following your updates. You seem to be doing all the textbook steps for soundproofing thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted May 19, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted May 19, 2015 Oh no!!!!!!!!!! Nowhere to leave the BM now. Looks great. ;D A sure it will sound even better. What BM? You wouldn't find a BM in my driveway Awesome. Keep the pics coming. I'm planning to build a music room ("room within a room") under the house and will be following your updates. You seem to be doing all the textbook steps for soundproofing thus far. Thanks for commenting. A fair bit has been done since the last update actually. All the split system plumbing has been roughed in behind the stud and plaster work, a load of electrical has been roughed in, and plaster hung for one end of the room. Electrical should be mostly complete today, and then I can move on to the other end of the room. Will give a pic update soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusion Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Sounds like it's really coming along Marc. That split system hopefully has top notch filters, don't want dust spoiling your new room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Emm Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 @@Marc when I did my room I chose a carpet made from sugar cane with rubber under felt. Plush, 25 year warranty, beautiful. It was only one room, so shortcuts weren't an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JukKluk2 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 One hopes that when in use the strip lighting will be turned off and replaced with a few tastefully located lamps. The strips can be turned on when the listening session is over and it becomes necessary to turf out those who are beginning to out stay their welcome. I always play the Fripp&Eno track, The Heavenly Music Corporation, at high volume to encourage the particularly obtuse attendees to move on. It's a great piece of music but it does require a lot of concentration to fully appreciate and can be the aural equivalent of Buzz Off in these circumstances. Every good host should have a copy in their library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted May 29, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted May 29, 2015 Lol. BTW the overhead flouros have now all been removed and replaced with led dimmable downlights on three separate controllable circuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren69 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 This BM- You were going to babysit it after the GP this year whilst I went across to Tassie, oh sorry, I didn't talk to you about it. All coming along nicely, am sure you are allowing yourself some excitement by now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted June 7, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted June 7, 2015 After life got in the way for the last two weeks, a bit of progress now. The side wall windows plastered up (after frosting the glass), and this week a new stud wall will be built 50mm off the brick wall, the entire length of the wall. Double layers of 16mm Fyrchek, with Green Glue. The view towards the front wall, bulkheads and pillar to be built this week. I'll explain more about what I'm doing here when I can show an example.. Finally, the storage being built into the back wall. I'm currently painting the malamine doors, and fitting them each door with a built to size acoustic panel stepped off 50mm. The top and side cavities will also be filled with Earthwool insulation and filled in with plasterboard in the next couple of days. Expecting to be finishing plastering and paint in about 2-3 weeks. All of the lighting circuits are now in, and the old flouros now replaced with 12 LED downlights on 3 dimmable circuits. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
