| What will the final floor surface be? Sheetrock is great for mass but doesn't take dents or liquid spills too well! I love the full length cable trough and cable paths under the deck. Looks like you're using 2x3 studs for the floor... or is that some other dimension that we don't have over here? What did you use as pucks for floating the deck? I'm looking for some for a project- Thanks... looking good! -tom

There are always things that I didn't think of. And there are things that I don't have because I couldn't find them yet. But I am keeping all receipts to know how much I spent in the end.

| I finished installing the last layer (plywood). It's still missing some screws and I have to caulk this last layer but it can be done meanwhile. Speaking about caulk, it has been a nightmare. First, I couldn't find any acoustical caulk here in Portugal. Even all the companies that do some acoustic work that I contacted didn't know what acoustical caulk is!! I had to buy it from Spain, from the distributor of Auralex: For now 11 of these: ![]() Almost 20 € each!!! Then the problem has been getting the caulking gun for these tubes that have 857ml (29 oz). After searching all stores nearby and the internet for Portugal I could only get guns for 300ml. I found it only in the US but they wouldn't sell it to Portugal I then contacted the spanish Auralex distributor that told me that they have the same problem in Spain and in the UK, so he arranged a gun for me through Auralex US. Should come in a few days. Here are the photos of the finished floating floor ![]() ![]() Side photo to show all floor layers. ![]() Next step: Wall framing!!

| Really nice, good work! One thing I've been thinking about is that I understand that you have some channels under the floor - isn't there a possibillity for sound to leak thrugh? /Cojo |

| I thought about that too, but since all channel outs have lids, it should depend on the quality of the lids insulation.

For spot leaks, access covers and the like, bonded lead (eg lead sheet bonded to the back of MDF and affixed to the rear of the channel lids) is your friend. Good thing about it is that it can be done as a retro-fit if necessary. | |

... You guys are doing great ! keep the pics coming On the caulk,.........20 dollars a tube will break the bank i used over 1.200$ in caulking , maybe 3 dollars a tube or less. thats like 600 tubes of caulk see if you can find somewhere other than Auralex to get it , try a HVAC, or Armstrong dealer or a commercial insulation dealer, where you get your 703 they should know where to get the caulk....... maybe Your better off taping and using joint compound on the drywall, its denser and seals fine and its cheep, use caulking only around the top and bottom of the wall where you leave a 1/4 " gap. or where you dont want transmission like windows...ect........ ![]()

there are fine caulks out there that are not labeled "acoustic" but when its buried deep in the walls you cant go back and redo it... so my thought is do it right the first time Also when you buy the stuff by the truckload they give you a discount Company's like Auralex must have a 70%mark up or more ![]()

| I know But I have to work to pay the studio Don't have much free time I wasn't supposed to do anything from the beggining but since the guy who is working on it now wasn't available I started doing it. Quote:
The cheapest caulk I've seen here was 3Eur for a tube of 300ml. My studio is very small compared to yours so the difference will not be that much .Thanks for your support Steve. I've been reading your thread, very inspiring

You are doing the right thing by using the best materials you can. its way easier to do it right now than to have to go back to redo something dont worry about the gear, spend your $$$$ on the room, the gear can be added easily later but the room needs to be the focus now. keep up the good work ! ![]()
