Grabbing lunch and sucking the blood off a cut on my finger, managed to hit it with the drill bit, I can truthfully say that Ive left a little blood on this one, walls are 1/2 drywalled.

Oh, come on Big, you can do better than that. We need at least a few sentences about how you made a blood sacrifice to the gods to ensure a smooth build. Or was that just a warning that a not-suitable-for-younger-viewers picture is on the way?

What a minute, I just realized you posted this at noon. The picture at midnight only had drywall on the ceiling. You two got all the drywall up on the walls between midnight and noon?

This is great seeing the OSB in use on a room-in-room. That approach would solve lots of issues with cutouts on the barrel vault I'm planning (purlins get in the way).

Are you gluing the first layer of drywall to the OSB with liquid nails?

Nah - likely use peanut butter as got great accoustic properties..... Just remember to use smooth and not crunchy

Nice to see Big keeping out of mischef - still waiting on my payback call

Just an update no pictures, Drywall completed, caulking completed, Taped and applied the first layer of mud on ceiling and area where the stage will go.

No we are applying a sound dampening agent, Green Glue (not a glue).

This question could go anywhere, but because I thought of it in this thread, it will go here.

Because this is a true room within a room design, where the framing was isolated from the joists and stuff with the special clips/brackets, did that remove the need for the use of hat channel?

If you were right on the joist then you would have to hat channel the walls and ceiling, but since the walls and joists were installed isolated, you can then bolt right to the bare wood.

Or, did I miss something?

Clips + channel decouple, as does staggered and double stud walls, as well as floating joists. Many ways to decouple.

If you have framed a true room within a room, you are fully decoupled, and no channel is necessary for sound isolation. You may consider clips for equal impedance, however.

Can you expand on this point a bit? Thanks!

Dennis would answer that better, as it's not a soundproofing element. Let's see if he's around this AM

every one wants pictures so I'll do some pictures and have to add explanations later. Highlights of today include a day long visit by Fotto who really pictched in heiping with the riser and the kerfed stage front board. THANK YOU.

I also managed to convince the homeowner that it is an AVS rite of passage of every theater builder to carry a ton of sand down the stairs to the basement. Third time in a row I've dodged that bullet.
Lastly the future theater builders buried a time capsule in the stage sand.





BIG hangs the last piece of drywall















FOTTO:




















stage and riser with three layers of OSB with Green Glue, edges not trimmed to size yet.

Experimenting with a new design with the kerfed board?

Why not just bend the thin ply as in the past?

I am interested in this as well. The kerfed board is fascinating.

The only thing I can think is that for some design reason, they needed more meat to nail to around the front edge of stage.

It was a pleasure working with BIG for the day! If anyone needs a hired gun for a HT build, he's definitely the man for the job.

Regarding the kerf cut 2x, mainly due to improvisation using materials on hand. The local Lowes was a bit "lean" on material selection. There's one heck of a lot of cuts in that 12 footer. I was nervous it was going to crack moving it around afterwards.

Looking good, and great progress, but what else should be expected with the help of BIG, fotto, two kids, and a boxer!

Little surprised the boxer is not in every picture with people in them. Mine are wherever the people are!

Fotto,

Thanks for all your hard work yesterday. I am truly in awe that you would come over and spend your valuable time working on my theater.

This is my first post ever in this section, and years on this whole site. I have a theater room which I built over 7 years ago mainly by myself. I knew practically nothing but it turned out decent. Anyway I never pulled permits or had anything inspected. So the reason I am posting this is I have been reading a TON of builds for over a month now and wondered how many do this according to codes and get permits, and who just build with out them? I was debating tearing it down and starting fresh the legal way.

I truly apologize for derailing this thread, I just did not think it warranted it's own topic. And I have been following BigMouthDC and his builds and am impressed with his skills and speed. The people in this section are so kind and supportive of one another and so helpful. It is awesome looking over all these cool builds and learning, and I look forward to see how this one turns out too.

Aiden, start a seperate thread on the permit vs no permit build. That way this thread does not get pulled aside with that discussion.
