Greetings Stuart, Thanks for the quick reply. Seems that many people recommend using the "Deep" boxes, as the standard ones don't accommodate multiple wires very easily. Has this been your own experience? I am going to plan my outlet and switch needs carefully, and buy at an electrical sup...

Greetings all, Have any of you used Wiremold to run electricity in your studios? It seems that a single wall penetration (or maybe two for bigger rooms) should be easier to deal with isolation-wise (read: filling in all those gaps). Even though it is more expensive than conventional solutions, I am ...

Greetings Stuart, Excellent. Since the concrete will be a brand new pour (if it ever gets done; still waiting to do demo), methinks it should be very smooth indeed. We laid an LVP floor on concrete in our basement bathroom, which was a pretty straightforward DIY except the cutout for the door, which...

Greetings Stuart,

Thanks very much indeed. Certainly makes sense to me.

All the best,

Paul

Greetings, A question regarding studio flooring: I might just stick with the concrete floor, but if I wanted to go with laminate wood flooring (for aesthetics mostly), can it be the click-lock type (floating), or does it have to be glued down? Hardwood is just not in the budget, unfortunately. In a ...

Greetings Stuart, Thanks for the clarification. Naturally, it brings up another question: Since I need to have a middle leaf in my ceiling because of roof venting (I do have an email out to the company about the alternative trusses you mentioned), would the correct place to put the ducted mini split...

Greetings Stuart,

Thanks. Another great piece.

All the best,

Paul

Greetings Stuart, Thanks for the additional info! The ducted mini split makes MUCH more sense for a studio application. One question: does the area around the air handler remain open, or does it filled with insulation similar to the rest of the air gap between the wall assemblies? Thanks very much i...

Yep.

Greetings Marius, Saw your comments in the Reference Section: A very happy birthday indeed!!! To everyone, I wonder if the silencers can be made more lightweight, but still as effective, by using Johns Manville SuperDuct ductboard attached to thinner plywood, rather than using Linacoustic 300 liner ...

Greetings Stuart, A perfect summary of HVAC for the studio! Methinks you should post it as a standalone document. I've read that content so many times in different places recently, it feels like I'm studying for an exam. I will print it out and put it with the materials I am gathering for the HVAC c...

Greetings Marius,

Just saw your post. I believe it's two and two.

Or, we all call move our projects into tents in open fields...Isolation, Schmisolation!

All the best,

Paul

Greetings Stuart, Once again, thanks very much indeed! Yes, I've been spending the better part of this week reading about baffle boxes, and that's after having read quite a bit before. A big job indeed. Luckily, my contractor is an amazing fabricator (read: fast AND accurate), so I'll have him cut t...

Jesse James Burnitt. He's probably been there about three years now.

Greetings Marius, I am in Philly, and the place I'm using is a local business here. Their out-of-state service areas are only in New Jersey and Delaware. I would suggest searching for HVAC company reviews for San Antonio. Once you've found some highly recommended ones, then you can see if they do mi...
