Well I'm in. Haven't got panels on the walls yet. Haven't got a door yet. Surrounded by tools and rubbish, lmao. But I'm in.
I added secondary glazing to my windows, with a large air gap, worth thinking about in the long term
Also: I had a lot of trouble in the last house: the neighbour over the road complained when I was using a Carr 9W amp at a reduced wattage setting at 8pm. Eventually I realised that my upstairs studio window used to have wooden panelling beneath the glazing, which had been hidden by roof tiles when the front was extended 2 metres. The sound was finding an easier path out than through the bricks and double glazing.
Looking at your photos, I'm thinking you may have wood panelling on the outside under those windows, it so - be aware of that
I assume you'll be putting something like Auralex foam pads under speakers and drums
Then I realise ... DUHHH.... attach 50mm wood to the wall... then attach some small chunks of 50mm to that to get my 100mm..... less wood needed, shorter screws, and less risk of damaging the wall.
Bit of a minor inconvenience, but should be able to resolve soon.
I think it's all brick, because I've done plenty of drilling under the windows and never hit wood. Interesting thought though, not sure how I could confirm.
Yes I've got some fake Auralex pads for my speakers, and I gonna build a mini riser for the e-kit when it gets here.
Getting there!
Seriously it’s looking great.

I used to be a carpenter. This guy does it right.
The bit I thought would be the hardest - the circular bay window - was actually the easiest!! Kerf cuts for the motherflippin' win!!
Cutting a piece of skirting at 45 degrees then following the profile with a coping saw is pretty straight forward and is how you get the best result. On very intricate skirting or coving the DIY paper method would not work.
