Renos Continued

I didn't take any pics on Tues .... We just went around and shimmed and glued every floor board to every joist and all cracks inbetween. Not very exciting . Managed to keep the glue off the wals though so that was good :)



Mitch did 2 trips to get the sound insulation material. So handy to have a truck!


So its just a matter of filling the gaps between the joists with the batting . Easy peasy. Nasty stuff tho . Itchy. We were lamenting the fact that we didnt have scaffolding and how much easier it would be ...... Then I remebered an old table top I had(my old desk from the other apartment ) So I threw that on top of the bags . Voila ! Instant scaffold. It didnt take long at all to do this bit . Each bag 30 bucks and covers about 55 sq feet . I decided to double up layers in the living room . Cost about 250 altogether. It has made a huge difference already . With glueing and batting its better than it was before so once I get the final layer of special soundproofing drywall it will be brilliant !
