Hello....I have a question for you and any response as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated as I'm going to be buying some materials tomorrow....
My question is this: Having a budget stinks..we all know this...so I'm trying to find some work arounds...I know that you sacrifice sound isolation and other things the more that you cut corners but a minimal would probably be ok for me.
I have an attached two car garage....it is probably about 10 to 15 feet away (separated by a wood fence) from my neighbors house ( I believe it is there garage too). The dimensions are 19X19. I have read about your room within a room and it is a great plan...I just don't have the money to go all the way with it....
The interior is open studded. Stucco on the outside. Regular unfinished garage. Can I do this and still get decent sound isolation so that my neighbors aren't completely bothered.
Insulate studs. resilient channel hung. layer of sheet rock. resilient channel on top of that layer of sheet rock and then put two layers of sheet rock on top of that. So basically I would have three layers of sheet rock separated by two resilient channel layers.
Anyway..it may not be much of a workaround, but it is the best I could think of to keep mass and also allowing some air space between that and the exterior wall.
All of your opinions on this matter are huge and I just want to thank everyone in advance for replying to my post and helping me out.
God Bless!
