last of the framing
since drywall will be starting "any day now," i decided that this weekend i should get off my ass and finish up the remaining framing odds and ends. all that's left is to finish up the bulkheads and put up a few more furring strips in the bathroom. i've just been having trouble getting motivated to knock these out with everything else going on lately.
one thing that's been causing me grief with the bulkheads is that the doorways into both iso rooms are framed for standard 80" door heights, which is several inches higher than the bottom of the support beam that passes through both rooms. i've been driving myself insane trying to figure out how to handle the bulkhead area between the doorway and the beam until today, when i realized i was an idiot and everything would be 10 times easier if i just made the doorways shorter and put a couple more bulkhead 2x4s above the door frames.
here's how the vox booth doorway looked originally:
and after dropping it down 5 inches:
i did the same exact thing to the other room and finished up the bulkhead in there. here's how it looks from inside the room:
a nice side effect of lowering the doorways is that i can now use double doors for both iso rooms, since the interior doors would be low enough to clear the beam when they open. this will provide better sound insulation yadda yadda yadda.
