My goal this month is to convert this corner of my garage into a small room I can work from.
First, some insulation in the outside walls.
First time using mineral wool (cotton candy made from rocks) en.m.wikipedia.org
Insulation is inside the external walls.
Mineral wool turned out to be a lot more annoying to work with than fiberglass, but it is supposedly better for sound absorption and that’s my main concern.
Phase 1 materials have arrived
The structure is up!
Time to learn how to install these white oak hardwood floors. I have a decent layout, next I will nail and glue to the osb subfloor.
Should I read the instructions or should I just start hitting this thing? πŸ˜…
Wasn’t too hard. Next will fill some gaps, a good sanding, and finish with rubio monocoat (because I’m in a hurry).
White oak floor sanded and finished with Rubio Monocoat Natural. This was a back-breaking workout πŸ˜…
Next, install trim and door.
Just trim carpentry and ventilation remain. But tomorrow I will work from here!
