So I've been thinking about cameras for my "digital window"...

Seems to me streaming cameras are probably overkill but that 4k security or webcast cameras are candidates

Any wisdom to share here on choices and where to start?

q1 - we cannot tell you the secret. lol. :lol: ...well, at least if the studio design/construction business turns down you can always top up your income doing stand up :lol: :lol: Seriously, thanks for that and the answer on the window. There is a vibe thing about a window but I suspect that if the...

Next steps So with just the duct work for the Live Room ventilation return to finish, doors to install, 5 of 24 inside out LIVE ROOM ceiling bays to complete, the final coat of mud on the joins in wall sheeting and the light fixtures to be installed, the end of the construction phase is finally in ...

The opus continues…. Completion of the Ceiling I need 3 layers on the ceiling because 2 layers of the 17mm ply I bought has less mass than 2x16mm gyprock (drywall) - which is my wall mass. Some inexperience there – I bought the ply 4 years ago - before I fully understood isolation. But much of layer...

The story continues... Cabling between rooms I’ve also been busy sealing penetrations for electrical and network cabling – “Big Stretch” for these. I’ve taken, what I think is a conservative approach by opening out the penetrations a bit (per pic), squeezing as much sealant as I can into the gap bet...

In the last post I forgot the photos from the last plenum 20250711_194814.jpg 20250731_125626.jpg 20250811_162209.jpg 20250818_111552.jpg Completion of the walls Slightly out of time sequence but some shots below of the completion of my LIVE ROOM walls. Amazing how you go much faster with experience...

Before I discuss the plenums themselves, I’ll touch on their impact on ceiling construction. I had a conversation mid 2024 with my engineer about the introducing plenums to slow air speed further. This conversation was prompted by the increase in the load on the ceiling joists. The outcome was that ...

Very, very long time, no post. :oops: I’ve been waiting for something exciting to happen to prompt an update but it’s mostly just been “same, same” – the grind of gyprocking (drywalling), insulation and sealant (caulking) in my LIVE ROOM. However, I decided it’s good for motivation to stop, document...

Ha - if only it wasn't done already I could have saved some work Anyway - good advice - thanks. I will now proceed to construction of the plenums, sans baffle

I mentioned in my last post that I’d changed the approach for silencer design for the LR. There are a few reasons: 1. Raising them into place is more complex when the registers protrude from underneath – especially at the inlet end where I have to work around the AC 2. I want to reduce exit velocity...

Glenn Yeah - the idea of a 2nd fan came from a post(s) of yours. I looked at ERV's early on but they are not that common down here and the climate didn't scream for the heat exchange element. Quite a tidy solution. Anyway, a second fan will do the trick I'm sure and should enable me to run them on t...

Ok - part 2 Door construction I now know more about door hanging and frames/jambs than I ever thought I would. Despite my best efforts, the jamb was slightly warped in the frame. While this was minimal, it still made for a lot of fluffing around on the seals and stops to get good, tight seals all ro...

I mentioned the CR is being used as a general purpose room...here's what I mean...together with a shot of the fill between CR and LR - mostly covered by the artwork for now 20240813_095736.jpg 20240813_095706.jpg The window space looks small but is actually 2m x 800mm - as big as I could make it wit...

So – a long delayed update on my build. I have been “distracted”, helping my son sort out some financials with his business and took a 6 week vacation in the UK – longest break I’ve had from the build for 2 years. There is a lot here so I will do this in instalments.. As indicated in post #49 – I ha...

Glenn
Thanks
Good advice
