How big is the file?

The place looks fantastic and that is about the amount of space I have to work with.

Well, without a/c a well sealed room will get mighty hot. On a standalone place, if you dont want to shell out for a small central unit, you can buy a window unit with a remote control and build a platform/casing to move it away from you structure a few feet. Then, you can fashion some vents for...

HAHA!

Good luck! And keep us updated..

Fred, what gives? No diagram!

Ok, as an off shoot of another discussion in here, does anyone know any good sources of information on the net for using steel studs in construction. Help guides, howto's, etc. Also, any experiences with steel stud use would be appreciated. How different is it to use over regular wood? What...

Great place man. A real inspiring sight...

Thanks! We have a 6 year old and now we have our second on the way. I didnt mind been outed from my current project studio as I was outgrowing the space. The garage is very spacious, enough so that i might be able to open up for some outside work even. Of course, I will have to stop working...

And I think I am with you on this, now. As you can see from my cost comparison...it is a huge jump. If I save almost $50 in building this shed then I know I am going to be saving serious dough on the studio construction.

This is just a cost comparison. I am taking my fairly oversized two car garage as my new project studio. We are having a new baby, so my studio upstairs is now deemed a nursery. :) So, I am building a small shed out back to house the lawn stuff, etc. Now, I just priced my lumber and for...

Not very much, as you can see from the example above. it is probably still worth it considering how much cheaper it is. *undecided*

gascap, Ok. Here is what I got. Lets look at just one example. Staggered stud wall construction with 1 layer of 16mm(5/8") Plasterboard on studs of 95x35mm (4 x 11/2") on a 120mm (4 3/4")common base. No Insulation 42 With Insulation 48 NOW, here is the same (relative) with steel: 1 layer...

I was being sarcastic. I have never had good luck with tin snips. :p

Actually, its quite possible that I misread...I am going to go and doublecheck.

Looking at the STC ratings over at SAE I am starting to think steel studs are not the way to go. It looks like the STC ratings are lower for steel studs and I thought this would not be affected. Is the savings worth the cut in the STC ?

Well, thanks for getting me thinking. I am going to look at more possiblities in my routing scheme.

Congrats John!

Yup, yup. 77 is good stuff, but it is POWERFUL. Make sure to take some breaks regularly and wear a long sleeve shirt. :)

Actually, thats probably as good of a suggestion as you are going to get. Dont feel bad. I am currently contemplating how I am going to get a/c into the studio I am contructing right now. It looks like I am going to settle for a wall mounted unit, but I have been unable to decide how to mount it.
