I have a carpentry book at home and it shows how to build a soundproof wall. It shows two separate two by four walls, with separate top and bottom plates. The walls have a space of one inch between them, so the top and bottom plates are separate and not touching each other. The studs are on 16

If the purpose of the wall is to soundproof, I definitely would not place the two by fours flat, as the smaller space inside the wall will enhance the sound transmission. From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:blindhandy...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ron Yearns Sent: Tuesday, March

Bill, From what I remember, the Nano does not have VoiceOver, but ITunes places small mp3 files on the nano that allow it to announce the names of the files. So it is nnot a complete screen reader, just simulated. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University. E-Mail:

I haven't bothered to mention it before, but apparently, according to the guy I know who built his studio, the foam or flexible padding between the wall cladding, and the studs, is not necessary. For the exact same reason that Dale mentioned about putting the studs flat. That allows for more

That is correct, iTUnes puts small MP3 files on the unit. It works quite well. I've got a previous generation iPod sitting here not being used any longer since i started using the iPhone. I however found the Nano to be a very nice device and very easy to operate. On Mar 31, 2010, at 9:20 AM,

If you got toung and groove OSB, it makes no difference. However, if you didn't, you want the 8' side to run with the joists. You will need to suppport all edges of the OSB between the joists. With the piece running lengthwise, you have less extra work to do. Terry On Wed, 31 Mar 2010

With OSB it doesn't really matter. Usually one uses plywood, it is superior in every respect and it matters because you want the grain running perpendicular to the joists for maximum strength. Some of that OSB is also 49 by 97 inches which is a pain in the proverbial. Some OSB has a waxed side
