DOC’s Studio Build…

Finished the R30 insulation today and finished off the first part of the air gapped wall with Rockwool safe and sound. Next up is building the rest of the air gapped walls. I ordered 6 rolls of 1lb/sq ft mass loaded vinyl (MLV) for the ceiling yesterday. That’s going to be a tricky install. I’ve never worked with that stuff before.

I built a storage area outside of the studio. It’s 10ft wide, 5 ft high and 4 ft deep. It will have 3 slide outs. Each slide out will be an I beam type drawer hanging from the ceiling on 500 pound rated heavy duty slides. Also did some rough in wiring in the studio, with 2 LED ceiling mounted fixtures which are controlled by my home automation. Walk into the studio and a motion will detect and the home automation system will turn on the overhead lights. Since there are no windows, this was a natural setup. Also wired in 2 dimmable LED wall fixtures. But the piece-de-resistance is in the video below :rolf:

Nothing exotic. I made this in an eight grade art class, so circa 1970. It took my parents about 6 months to realize the BBQ rotisserie motor was missing. I put it in the attic above my bedroom and hung the mirror ball from it. I used a light with a paper towel roll to create a spot light light on it. Once I got my drivers license in 1972, it was never used again.
