"The more I know, the less I understand." -Don Henley- **WARNING** This post is a little all over the place.... Now that I have somewhat got my basic design concept, I've been reading everything I can about HVAC. I still have plenty of reading and research to do on it, but just a few gener...

What type of sheathing did you have in mind for your walls? If I do normal construction, there will be 1 layer of OSB and a second layer of 5/8" fire rated drywall with green glue between them. I like your idea of not having to search for a stud to hang things. If I do inside out construction,...

I did my first full 3D Sketchup model! Which points out a whole new batch of questions! So here we go. First, the model itself: Both JPG & SKP Current Design.skp Current Design1.jpg 1. The gap between the stud frames of the inner and outer walls. In the model I have 1" between them all exce...

Real quick, I think I got my design! :yahoo: Only question is how much space do I need at the front of the control room for soffits and speakers? Look at the drawing (my last in 2D, I promise!). Is that 2'2" I left in front of the door enough? And is the door to the house that can't be moved ok...

First off have a look at these two basic layouts (in 2D). I'm starting to work with Sketchup, but it's a sl...

The more I read and research, the more confused I become. I need just a few more clarifications to decide on a final design. I played around with some different design ideas, tried some angular room shapes, tried to incorporate a sound lock (instead of double doors), and I keep coming to the same co...

Thanks for your response Stuart. Been doing some more research, and have a few more questions. I want to maximize the space as much as possible, but I don't want to under-isolate the room. I just don't really know how much isolation I really need since the whole thing is open, I can't even really te...

Hello all, It's time to get out of the bedroom! I have been reading on the John Sayer's forum, (where I posted this same question and no one responded), as well as Rod's book for the past week or so, and have tried to research as many questions as I can before posting, but I have come to a point whe...
