So begins the drywall

All the insulation is finally done, so drywall is now in full swing. I finished one layer on the ceiling, minus the duct framing, then moved onto part of the walls. Was hoping to get enough scrap to complete around the ductwork, but it seems I'll just have to cut into fresh sheets to complete that.

Ceiling left.

Ceiling right.

Starting the walls with mildew resistant drywall.

You can see I've cut out the spaces for the rear speakers already. I set them 5' up and the same height as the light sconces to keep them all consistent and level.

Car distraction

Guess I got bored with my current setup, so I installed a new fancy touchscreen stereo in the car. It's a Chinese made Eonon GA5163F specifically made for my Mazda 3. Cheap, but looks stock, and is quite impressive with Android built in giving me the opportunity to install all kinds of apps like Youtube, Amazon Music; whatever in my car. With it tethered to my phone I can access anything via the web on the go too. Pretty cool.

All installed.

Didn't have a before, but here's the original that was in there.

Insulation Overdrive

Been ridiculous how much time insulating the ceiling with safe n' sound and wrapping all the ductwork has taken. But, it's close. Very close. Here's some photos of the work done, all while wrapped up in long sleeves, gloves, breathing and eye protection.

Before - main duct wrapped in foam.

In process - added fiberglass to main and finished all 6" ducts.

Quite surprising, as I wasn't really expecting it, but wrapping the main ducts in fiberglass made a huge difference to the sound coming from the ducts with the air blowing through them.
