random updates
mudding of the main room is essentially done now. all that's left is to apply the exterior corner bead once it arrives, do some spot fixes, and then sand everything down. in theory the bead should be here tomorrow or tuesday at the latest.
i got another 20 sheets of drywall delivered yesterday for finishing off the iso booths and other areas of the basement. ii also rented a drywall lift to help with that task. i've been working on the vox booth today and making some decent progress. the smallness and weird-shape-ness of the space is making it a bit tricky to put the upper wall pieces up, but it hasn't been too terribly bad thus far.
tomorrow night i meet with the artist to go over room colors and flooring and lighting and all that fun stuff.
i've mentioned here and there that a couple of the supply outlets are still really noisy, owing to a combination of mechanical noise and excessive air velocity. it's also the case that the far end of our house is really cold, and the two aren't entirely unrelated. i ordered an air volume damper to control the amount of air coming into those registers off the trunk. i'm still looking for a canvas duct connector to help decouple the mechanical noise of the furnace from that duct run--it was tapped just before the canvas connector for the main supply trunk for the house.
i found a place that can do the laminate glass for me for the vox booth windows. they have 1/2" in stock, which will cover one of the pieces just fine, but they don't have anything bigger for the other piece. they're looking into ordering a piece of 5/8" or 3/4" for me. hopefully i'll know tomorrow whether that's doable, and then as soon as i have exact measurements for the glass i can go ahead and place the order. i think what i'm going to do, since i need to be very exact with the measurements and all and angling of the glass may make things a little tricky, is get scraps of 1/2" and 3/4" plywood to test-fit the dimensions before ordering.
still waiting for the door gasket material to arrive. still trying to track down a source for magnetic weatherstripping. still trying to track down other door/window assembly odds and ends like u-shaped neoprene setting blocks and all that fun stuff.
time to go put up some more drywall.
