Re: Barn Fit out for woodshop. Bump for fun. Its been a slow winter. Hope to have day 9 and 10 videos up soon. We will be working again in two weeks. (I've been gone for 4 months) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Day 7 (finally) http://vimeo.com/74570308 and Day 8! http://vimeo.com/74627053 Day 9 is happening tomorrow. We're sure taking our sweet time and moving slowly. So far, so good.

Curious if you could do something similar to what we are seeing here but hold it off the floor as well? You would eliminate all the issue OP talked about...so similar to using it like wainscoting but say the bottom starts at 12-18" a.f.f. and extends up to however high you need it... Didn't get...

Relax. Settle your ***. It sounds a bit chapped. Now before either side waves their *** more to get slapped and chapped get back on topic. I think both sides are a bit worked up. You don't know his story. He doesn't know yours. BACK TO OP, sounds like the workings of miscommunication. It...

Just for clarification... the jamB you're referring to that need trimmed or whatever is noted as trim in the image below?

and Day 6 (two weeks ago). https://vimeo.com/71684489 Day 7 (yesterday) video delayed. Post to come.

As you probably already expect, I'd venture to say you can pay for a nice router that would not be cheap but give you what you want. I hear you on the finickyness (sp) of them. Mine works 98% of the time. The other 2% is because I think it has hot flashes and needs to deal with it's menopause...

this.

so the block R-value goes from 1.1 to 7.2...roughly. What are the code requ's for insulation down there? You can get that kind of R-value from 1" of rigid insulation on the exterior face and then you'd also cut out the thermal bridging. After digging deeper, I'd say some is better than none. and...

Sounds to me like 850$ is worth it to you to just say you have insulation in the wall...in which case you should just go ahead and do it, right? 8 times isn't astronomical but it's huge. Point is there are typically 3 thermal bridges in a 16" long block (making assumptions here)...insulating...

That's the point. ;) The open cavities.

Sound traveling through a solid medium...will still use the webbing from the block. Don't mean to sound like a Debby Downer but I really can't be sold on thermal/acoustic qualities of filling the cavities. Especially not for 850$. Sounds like I need to become a builder/developer.

I'm saying no way. I think most of the people here seem to be forgetting that insulation envelope involves thermal breaks...in which a concrete block has 3 nice thermal connections... sure you'll see some value but I'd rather have the insulation on the outside of the block.

Who said the glass has to be transparent? Translucent is good too! Diffuse daylight > electric lighting. anyday. OP, new layout. Why two entries to bathroom? (Not a big deal, I can live with that)...the one door swings in, the other swings out... Why? Not trying to be picky, just giving me...
