Our aim was to start early as we weren't too sure how long it would take us to put in the Sound Insulation in the boys rooms. So we went via Bunnings to pick up some extra supplies including some little picks for the boys (I have started them on digging our my cellar, hopefully in about a year I will have some interesting updates on this.)
Installing the insulation was no the easiest of tasks and the instruction your get are pretty useless. I'll develop a more detailed howto on this later so that people can get a good idea of what can go right and wrong, because I think we experienced everything in the long day that was installing.
Here's some pictures of the finished product. This is the youngest's wardrobe between his room and the main living room.
This is wall between the yougest's room and the bathroom
This was the hardest wall between the youngest's room and our ensuite. On the right is the back of our shower that a whole lot of different sized gaps with lots of pipework, which all make it difficult.
This is ensuite shower outlet, they will put a bit of tile in the middle of this and tile around the rest of it. I think this will look really nice, just so long as it actually drains.
The electricians don't really seem to be able to understand the necessity of structural aspects of the frame. Here they have cut right through a brace to put the outlet for our TV. They had the great idea of mounting an outlet high so that it could be hidden behind the TV, however these TV's are so huge that I think they could have moved the bracket a little bit to avoid the bracing. This is going in an email....
This is the return air in the living room which I knew would cause a problem with the framing because they needed to cut out the lower bit of the stud, which they have now done. Unfortunately this has now left a load bearing stud hanging from a truss not holding up a truss......
