Speakers

Needed to determine the mounting depth and options for in-wall speakers in the office.  I like the NHT IW3's I have in the basement family room, but at about $450/pr they aren't cheap.  So instead I decided to go with a $175/pr set of Boston Acoustics.  To improve the sound quality I mounted them on 3/4" plywall, which will then have drywall mounted over it.  Had to verify that the speaker mounts would accommodate this setup.  Here they are in the rough mounts.

Due to the gas line running right next to it, I may end up framing and drywalling around the ducting above the speakers, and I still need to run that wire through the floor joists.

You can see the cross stud below each speaker.  This will allow me to create a closed box for each speaker, and fill it with rockwool.

Figuring out a plan for the sunken area, cleared it all out.  Will likely need to deal with the chimney first.

Ugly Float and Tape

Getting started on the float and tape job on the upstairs half bath.  Pretty ugly so far. This is just the first coat, which is really intended to just get the tape down.  Looks ugly, but it's actually not bad.  Won't know for sure how it will look till the last coat.  Plan is to do a texture-free level 5 finish.  Not sure if I'll be able to pull it off or not, worst case if it doesn't pan out I can just throw some texture up.
