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...

Thanks
Good advice

I'm way overdue for an update but the short story is that I've finished the control room isolation work - I have a room with only one door and no internal treatment other than bales of insulation in the corners as crude bass traps. It is set up as a multi purpose room at the moment. More to come ASA...

From here on in I've consolidated all posts in my blog on the construction board - https://forum.digistar.cl/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=918&start=45

Thanks Glenn
Having posted on this subject I then came across the last few pages of Gareth's blog (the rectification) which is super helpful on this question - and more than a few others regarding control room design Not sure how I missed it as I'd watched this build quite closely

Thanks both of you My filters are located in easy access in the workshop area adjacent and I'm confident in my joins (caulk, tape, double hose rings) so I'll drop the trapdoors :yahoo: I've not posted for a while on progress - just working through ceiling modules 20240311_085338.jpg and I had to spe...

Hi 2 super quick (and easy, I hope) questions 1. I've been planning some manholes in my ceiling so I can get to the points where the duct joins the silencer. I've seen some designs that Glenn circulated for trap doors/manholes and I think Jennifer has incorporated an access point somewhere (for a di...

6656 the silencer and plenums can all be in the room :-) when i'm designing, i typically use wall-ceiling soffits to allow me to route air, wires, lighting etc PLUS get a lot more absorption while freeing up the walls and floor spaces. here's an example of a silencer in the soffit feeding a plenum ...

6681 I'm having a real hard time locating anyone who has carries any of these products, and who is willing to sell me a small amount. I only need about 15m2 The Knauff Climacoustic is unfortunately not available, anymore. In fact it seems the web page has been taken down since my enquiry! :lol: The...
