Remodeling The Music Room
For the past few weekends we’ve been gutting and rebuilding the music room at home. This has been the most complete remodel we’ve done in any room in the house so far, and it’s been an interesting process. One annoying aspect of the music room was that the ceiling was so low; I could touch it standing flat footed… that’s a low ceiling! We removed the drywall from the walls and ceiling, which allowed us to completely reroute the plumbing and wiring, thus gaining over 2″ of headroom. Last weekend we finished installing the insulation, new lights, new window, ceiling drywall and about 1/2 of the walls. This weekend I’ll be able to get the last of the drywall hung and hopefully complete the custom-install of the built-in bookcase and desk. Then the taping and mudding, paint, floor, moulding, built-in cabinets, new door…
For such a small room, this has certainly been a big time consuming project. It’s a little difficult to build any momentum when we only get stuff done over the weekends, but we’re chipping away steadily at this one and should be finished by the end of April.
