Here's Dan stringering the back wall of the Live Room. Come to think of it, Dan is the only one of us we have pictures of while he's working. I assure you, though, we all do equal amounts of work... really. :)

Just as a side note I wanted to mention... If you ever have to do stringering, I feel VERY sorry for you. We all agree that doing the stringering was the biggest pain in the ass out of everything we've done so far. Think of that... it beat out caulking, panelling, drywalling, running conduit, HVAC... that says a little bit about it.

Here you can see the back wall is done being stringered and we've started to panel it with particle wood.

We had to put the door back into the doorway leading to the stairs because we got a cat. Pete told me to put this picture in just to tell you that. Ok Pete... time for your nap now.

Besides a big MESS, this picture shows that the Live Room is completely drywalled. And you can see the return air "shoot" at the front of the room. We cleaned up the next day and paid about $20 at the town dump. Grr ....

This picture shows two pieces of the Oak we're putting in the window sills There will still be two more, obviously. You can see that we have a house about 10 feet away, so that's why we're putting a multiple seal in this window.

This picture shows how the multi-seal cill works. Each color is another piece of oak wood. If you have any questions on it you can e-mail me (Brian). The door that we will place into this window will then be built to fit exactly on this to keep the sound from getting out, or in if the neighbor is mowing his lawn. Of course the door won't go at an angle like this, but it's just to show how it fits together.

Here you can see the stairwell wall has partial drywall. You can see the resillient channel on top of the foil. To the right you can see the Air-lock Room is all drywalled.
